#platonic magnus bane

[lurafita]

I still want a fantasy epic journey style malec au. (With some extra platonic relationships thrown in)

Like, Jace is the crown prince, Alec is captain of the guard. The two don't get along.

Jace is irresponsible and spoiled and lazy in Alec's eyes; while Alec is uptight and rigid and boring in Jace's eyes.

Magnus is the personal guard of crown princess Clarissa, who is believed to be dead since five years ago, where Magnus barely got her out of the kingdom during a hostile demonic takeover.

The two of them have been traveling to find a way to get Clary's kingdom back ever since.

When the same thing happens to Jace and Alec's home (i.e. demons flooding kingdom and enslaving folks) Magnus and Clary happen to be there to pull the two out (plus maybe some additional characters )

Then they band together to continue looking for something to drive the demons back.

On the journey personal growth and feelings happen for everyone.

not a study in scarlet

Works-Not-In-Progress 2/∞ 

So sometimes the best inspiration for fic is spite. But then sometimes we I don't actually write the spite!fic, because wtf, I don't actually know how to plot a mystery?

so please enjoy this nonsense instead. (Yes, I did put Toby in my collection of evidence photos/moodboard, mostly because I love Toby, but also because I love Magnus and cats. Yes, there's also a Paget illustration and cigarette ash, and NYC stuff because NYC is legit a character in Shadowhunters, even more so than London is for Holmes imo, and there's a pentacle for Magnus' magic and an archery target for Alec, and idk, I have lost my train of thought here?)

ANYWAY: spite!fic

Once upon a time, I ran across several Sherlock AUs for Shadowhunters in a row, and every one of them had Magnus Bane as Sherlock Holmes and that is, just. Not Right.

Like! I understand the impulse, when trying to translate soldier and power dynamics and etc. that you'd put Alec in the Watson/respectable member of society role, and Magnus 'never met a question he couldn't deflect with a smile' Bane in the vaguely incomprehensible detective role

But I counter!

WHICH of our heroes is in fact:

socially adept

extremely skilled at his preferred profession even though it comes up less often than one would expect in canon

has a completely incomprehensible romantic history

is ride or die two seconds after meeting someone because they are both smart and pretty

hates war and conflict (has been grievously wounded by same and yet always keeps going)

and yet, is in fact deeply petty and ready to throw down at the slightest provocation

can effectively (metaphorically) murder someone with a look or a phrase

can also literally murder someone but usually doesn't

is incredibly loyal but hates to admit it

is very compassionate and incapable of not helping someone in front of him (unless you have previously landed on the grudge!list, see above re: incredibly petty)

is perhaps the world's MOST unreliable narrator but no one ever calls him on it!

That would be Magnus Bane, and that would make him Watson, sorry, Watson is deeply unhinged but fakes it so well that people think he's the sane one.

AND THEN, of course, for Alec/Sherlock, he:

has only made a good first impression one single time in his life, but it was the time that mattered

is brilliant and tactical and very few people are able to keep up with him (and yet almost no one appreciates it, they're all, oh when you put it that way it's obvious, even tho none of them could do it on their own)

is abrasive in company; he's CAPABLE of walking the fine line of polite behavior and proper etiquette he just thinks it's stupid

(he will tell you to your face if he thinks you're an idiot, but if he needs to, he'll do it in such a way that you don't realize that's what happened until much later)

clearly has a traumatic backstory he does NOT want to talk about

partly given away by how aware he is of the way people around him can be hurt/persecuted whether anyone else wants to admit it or not; he is good to people no one else bothers to believe

has less than no patience for perceived stupidity in the people around him who ought to know better and will yell at them to get out of his way so he can do their jobs better than them

(unless he has taken responsibility for you and then he is delighted to explain every possible way he can make things better regardless of whatever you did that might have exacerbated the situation)

effectively intimidating when called for

effectively violent if that didn't work

secretly a marshmallow and if you tell him you like him and he did a good job he probably won't actually cry but if you know him well you can tell it was a close call

So yeah, pls enjoy jilly's unhinged Holmes feels despite her complete inability to write a Holmes!AU in fic?

10-Shadowhunters

An Au where soulmates exists but the Clave still is against shadowhunter/downworlder and same sex relationships.

So, what am I getting with this au? I just thought what Jonathan Shadowhunter and others from his time, created a few rules that could be followed in case some shadowhunter had a soulmate that was a different race or had the same gender as they couldn't tell how people would react when it happened.

Imagine Malec finding out they were soulmates but knowing how their relationship will be seen by the Clave including that if Alec isn't deruned he may be killed but for their luck, they found out about being soulmates a few days before Lydia arrived and with her the Lightwood parents being obsessed with marrying Alec with a woman from a respectable shadowhunter family.

John Monteverde did not die in this au but he became a vampire before he and Lydia were able to marry so despite being soulmates they were not allowed to get married.

Alec and Lydia talk about this, happy to find someone who understood them, before deciding to look for something to help them.

And they find that none soulmates couples that get married, are allowed to add people to their marriege as long as it is their soulmates and the Clave would be unable to do anything about it even if they are downworlders.

Proceeds to Alec and Lydia informing magnus and John about it and give them time to think if they would be fine with Alec and Lydia getting married so they could be with their soulmates.

Magnus and John could be a bit unsure, especially John as he knew that everyone would expect Alec and Lydia to have at least one child but when bringing that up Magnus is the one to offer a solution that is going to a fertility clinic for Lydia to get pregnant without any need of Alec and Lydia to have sexual relationship.

Afer taking care of a few worries, the four decide to go forward with this while ignoring how Izzy and Jace were against Alec and Lydia's marriage despite Alec saying he had a reason for it and that Magnus agreed with it(imagine everyone annoying Magnus to stop the marriage without thinking that may they had a good reason to let it go but also how they wanted Magnus to interrupt the wedding but didn't give any solution to his and Alec's problem...also, it is up to the writer if anyone outside of Alec, Magnus, Lydia and John know that Malec are soulmates).

So Lydia and Alec end up in a platonic marriage for a month before bringing Magnus and John in as their soulmates while internally smirking over winning against the Clave.

Anyways, this is probably another idea that makes no sense but anything else would be up to the writer.

Shadowhunters AU

Shadowhunters AU where Magnus is a ex alcoholic who hasn't had a drink for months, but after a particular encounter with his ex-girlfriend he decides to go to a bar to drink, even though he had promised to quit alcohol. Before entering a seedy bar, he notices behind an alley a young Mexican guy, who didn't look older than 16 yrs old,and what worries Magnus is the fact that the guy is covered in bruises and lying on the ground, unconscious. For the first time in a long time,Magnus decided to help someone other than himself.

[dhampiravidi]

(tag them)

[morecaffeineplease]

Im reading the infernal devices and I've never been so misled in my life. The mortal instruments vaguely hint at magnus and will being a thing and so for 1 1/2 books I've been convinced the secret will is hiding is he's gay...spoiler that's not it

[in1-nutshell]

Concept, mtmte Megatron accidentally adopts young human buddy.

Like there's basically just a teenager on the lost light, and because teenagers have no fear of death, they go out of their way to interact with the ex-warlord.

Time goes on, and eventually, when Megatron realizes the dynamic he has, he goes into a typical angsty brooding session. Bonus points if it has Brooklyn 99 energy of Peralta accidently calling holt 'dad' energy.

I really do enjoy your blog because a lot of the stuff is either platonic or familial, and that's my favorite shit. Hope you have a good day and drink water.

Thank you for the compliment! I have been drinking water and been having a pretty decent day. Now, Human Buddy who knows no fear is about to strike the fear of their well being upon others! Megatron is their prime target...

Hope you enjoy!

Megatron 'accidentally' adopting human Buddy who fears nothing

SFW, familial, platonic, mentions of injuries but nothing graphic or in details, Human reader

MTMTE/LL

Oh, Buddy starts off as the bane of his existence.

Buddy joins the lost light before the events of Delphi happen. Meaning they have been dealing with everyone’s problems since a little over day one.

Let’s give Buddy some context.

By sheer luck, Buddy managed to enter the Cybertronain/ Human Liaison program and was now the proud representative in the Lost Light.

Many bots on the Lost Light thought that this would be a little liaison and would be a bit fearful of the hulking giants around them or some sleazy politician. Some were just curious as they had never seen a human until that moment.

Rodimus is preparing for a Prowl like or Magnus like person to board the bridge. That’s usually who they send when it comes to relations, except Marrisa Fairborn, she was an exception.

At first Buddy did come off as someone overly polite… that was soon going to change.

“Welcome Buddy aboard the Lost Light.”—Ultra Magnus

“Thank you, Ultra Magnus sir.”--Buddy

“And I will be your Captain! The names Rodimus Prime.”--Rodimus

“Well, I’m just Buddy. Sorry but I should be entering my room now before take-off. Thank you again for the introduction sirs. I hope to find you soon?”--Buddy

“Absolutely, we will start the meeting in an hour in the meeting room down your hall.”—Ultra Magnus

“Thank you.”--Buddy

“…Great another stick in the mud…”--Rodimus

“Oh, hush they seem like a nice human.”—Ultra Magnus

A week later

“Hey Rodimus, I bet you can throw me into that mattress over there.”--Buddy

“Oh? You’re on!”--Buddy

“I have the reports ready—OH SWEET PRIMUS! BUDDY!”—Ultra Magnus

Timeskip

“So let me get this straight… You bet Rodimus, one of the most impulsive and childish bots on bourd—”--Ratchet

“Hey!”--Rodimus

“To THROW you across the room to a small mattress and it didn’t occur to you that you could bounce off the mattress!?”--Ratchet

“Well at least all the blood is internal right? That’s were the blood is supposed to be?”--Buddy

“…”--Ratchet

“Oh Primus…”—Ultra Magnus

“Oh, Primus indeed.”--Rodimus

Buddy does not know what ‘self-preservation’ is. Its not in their vocabulary. Ratchet has lost count of the amount of times that Buddy has come in the med bay with an injury that was caused by some atrociously dumb plan.

“Alright… what’s the damage today? Whirl brought you in this time so it must be bad.”—Ratchet

“Rude.”—Buddy and Whirl

“Well, I’m waiting. What happened?”--Ratchet

“Well… I was trying to follow Skids trails through the vents, which is so cool to visit—”--Buddy

“Kid.”--Ratchet

“Right. Well, I thought I could jump across the vent opening and kind a didn’t…”--buddy

“What?”--Ratchet

“Good thing Whirl was there to break my fall! Sorry again Whirl for the glass.”--Buddy

“Next time you bust my glass at least do a flip next time you fall on your back.”--Whirl

“What you fell on your back?! You have glass imbedded in it!”--Ratchet

“Huh? That explains why my back hurts so much.”--Buddy

“…”--Ratchet

Rodimus takes it back he loves this little human. Buddy is his best human friend. Whirl wins this though, he already asked Buddy to be his Amica Endura, and they accepted!

“Hey Ratchet—”--Drift

“Shh!”--Ratchet

“Rude—”--Drift

“No. It’s quiet… to quiet…”--Ratchet

“What do you think we are going to get attack?”--Drift

“…No, it’s something much worse.”--Ratchet

“What could be worse—”--Drift

“Its Whirl and Buddy! They haven’t made noise in about 10 minutes!”--Ratchet

“Ratchet I think that them not making noise—”--Drift

BAM!

“Eat floor Cyclonus!”--Whirl

“Whirl! Run! He’s gaining on us!”--Buddy

“I stand corrected.”--Drift

They make friends with a lot of bots on board. Many are happy to meet an individual such as Buddy. But this also comes at a cost. Many bots have to watch for Buddy in case something bad happens to them. They are so small and they keep getting into dangerous situations!

Rung has a line of bots that express the same worry for Buddy one day doing something dumb and not being able to come back from it.

Buddy knows no fear.

How does the crew know this?

Buddy made it their life job to make Megatron uncomfortable when they found out he was going to be the Co-Captain.

“Hey! MegaDork!”--Buddy

“Hmm?”--Megatron

Bucket of oil falls from door.

“Theres more were that came from Bucket Head! That’s for Earth!”--Buddy

Megatron can’t do anything about it. He hates organics and he can’t kill this one, not without causing another war. When Ravage shows up, he thinks that Buddy might back down a bit. I mean what human in their right of mind would try and continue to prank him when ravage is around? Buddy takes this as a challenge that needs to be beaten. If anything, Ravage helps a bit.

“He slipped on the paint! Go! Go! Go!”--Buddy

“Ravage!?”--Megatron

“All is fair in music tapes and war Megatron.”—Ravage

Buddy has the ring tone of Megs comm to “Be Prepared” from the Lion King. Swerve helped them put in the music. He laughed nonstop when it first worked.

They are petty.

Everyone is on edge whenever those two are in the same room.

Half ready to shoot Megatron down the other half to get Buddy to safety once they manage to trigger Megatron.

Is there any chance that Megatron will get a break?

Yes, yes, he does.

He managed to finally get a place holder for a poetry night in one of the classrooms. Not to his surprise no bot shows up. He is about to leave when he hears the quick little sets of footsteps coming in.

“Wait! Wait! Hold the door! I’m here! I’m here!”--Buddy

“Buddy?”--Megatron

“I’m not late, am I? I just saw the flyer from Swerve. And—hold on—sprinted from my room back here.”--Buddy

“Oh, umm, no one came…”--Megatron

“Oh, okay then its just us two them Big Guy?”--Buddy

“Wait—”--Megatron

“Call dibs on the chair on the left.”--Buddy

Megatron never pegged Buddy to be into poetry. He is also floored with Buddy actually talking to him and giving pointers on how to improve his own pieces of work. Even referring to other poets’ works so he could get some inspiration!

He nearly misses the shy look Buddy gives when he compliments their work.

He thinks that this is a onetime thing.

He is deeply mistaken.

“Hey Megs! You ready for today’s meeting?”--Buddy

“Oh, yes I am.”--Megatron

“Good! I have a bunch of works that need to be peer reviewed and I can’t trust Rodimus to look over these; and Whirl sadly isn’t an option for these either.”--Buddy

“Why don’t you ask Magnus? Surely, he could also help?”--Megatron

“And have him explain to me the importance of an Oxford comma when I forgot to put one in my writing? Yeah no, I need your optics for this.”--Buddy

“…Me?”--Megatron

Buddy no longer causes too much trouble for the Ex-warlord. Still trouble but not as much as last time. They always come to the poetry club and even managed to snag a couple of their friends to come with.

He is not going to admit to anyone, well maybe Ravage, that he started growing a soft spot for them.

“Ravage… I think I might be growing fond of Buddy…”--Megatron

“Congratulations! You’re officially the last one to know.”--Ravage

These little interactions begin happening more and more, Megatron is just happy that things are finally going well.

Then it happened.

It was at Swerve’s.

He was sitting at the bar looking over Buddy’s latest writing with Buddy, themselves sitting patiently. He gives a compliment and gives them back the writing.

“You’ve improved Buddy. These are getting better with more time.”--Megatron

“Thanks Dad.”--Buddy

“…”--Everyone

“Why is everyone so quiet?”--Buddy

“You just called Megatron here, ‘Dad’.”--Whirl

“What’s a ‘Dad’?”--Tailgate

“No! I didn’t say ‘Dad’! I just said, ‘Thanks Man!’”--Buddy

“I don’t know Buddy. It sounded a lot like ‘Dad’ to me.”--Whirl

“Seriously, what’s a ‘Dad’?”--Tailgate

“Well, you heard wrong Whirl!”--Buddy

“Do you see me as a father figure Buddy?”--Megatron

“No! I see you as a bother figure if anything.”--Buddy

“Hey respect your Dad!”--Ratchet

“Is no one going to tell me what a ‘Dad’ is?”--Tailgate

After that interaction, Buddy begins to avoid Megatron after the confrontation and nearly shuts down when someone brings up the event. Megatron really wants to talk to buddy about the incident but decides not to. Maybe it was a mistake.

He broods over it for a while.

He finds Buddy again at Swerve’s where a rather drunk bot was making fun of Buddy for their little ‘slip up’.

“Wow Fleshy. You messed be so messed up in the processor to call Megatron your Dad.”—Drunk Bot

“Hey drop it.”--Buddy

“Oh, look at me! I’m so scared of a human how I could flick across the room if I wanted to.”—Drunk Bot

“Oh, please I know that barely existing processor of yours isn’t that dumb. But even then, I hope Natural selection takes you if you follow through that threat.”—Buddy

It was getting to the point where it was becoming insensitive.

Bots around were getting uneasy at the conversation and some looked like they were going to come over and do something.

Megatron is quicker.

As he strides over, he is met with the infamous brick of parenthood. Should he really take up such a mantle?

He takes that mantle by the horns and makes it his.

“My child, is something wrong?”--Megatron

Voice crack “Nope. Just Peachy.”--Buddy

Everyone looks over.

Buddy is just beaming.

Megatron has no regrets saying what he said, he lets Buddy know this.

No, Buddy isn’t crying. You’re the one crying.

[newtmas-supremxcy]

who would have thought the nerdy and sassy, "go fuck yourself I spent 70 years in hell but 5 minutes around this bitch is even more painful" ghost boy who hates pretty much everyone except his totally platonic 'best friend' would end up being the bicycle of the show who you end up shipping with three different people: a literal bird, a sassy hundred year old with cat eyes (essentially the dead boy detectives equivalent of magnus bane) and his aforementioned 'best friend'

[ghoulie-67-baby]

Partners in crime - Shadowhunters.

Summary: You’re Magnus Bane’s best friend and fellow warlock, when Shadowhunters ask for help you take the job together.

Warning: Mentions of nightmares, skimpy pyjamas (idk what you’d call them tbh), playful teasing between friends, fluff.

Pairing: Magnus bane x Warlock!reader (Platonic).

Word count: 1,336.

The sun scorched across my face through a gap in the curtains. I dramatically huffed as I glared at the curtains in disdain, knowing I wouldn't fall asleep again. I stretched with an obnoxiously loud yawn, humming contently as my bones popped in a chorus.

Discomfort quickly set in from the glaring light and I raked my fingers through my hair before swinging my legs from the bed and trudging towards the door. My dreams had kept me up a good portion of the night and in the end, I crawled into bed with Magnus which kept them at bay.

"Mags?" I called through the quiet loft, "Mags, why do you never close the curtains properly?" I searched the loft half asleep for my flatmate only to come up empty. I straightened out my shorts as I wandered to the kitchen, letting the growl of my stomach lead me.

My pyjama vest rose up my stomach as I reached to grab a bowl and I shivered at the cold air of my exposed midriff.

Shuffling towards the living room, I failed to notice the gathering of people until the sound of someone clearing their throat caught my attention. I nodded hello to the group sleepily, gathering my thoughts as I ate my breakfast. I snapped out of my sleepy state as Magnus appeared in front of me protectively.

"Good morning, my dearest, I'll make sure to close them properly from now on shall I?" The question was rhetorical but I nodded anyway, placing my now empty bowl on the table. "Now, as much as I love seeing you half-dressed," Magnus teased with a playful wink. "I'm not sure how much longer Simon can watch without holding his drool back so how about we cover you up." I sighed but let his magic swirl around me, a beautiful, feathered robe appearing around my body.

The fabric brushed the ground as I stepped forward and planted myself into Magnus' chest in a tight hug. He reciprocated, both lost in the cuddle and temporarily forgetting about the group awkwardly standing behind him. Unfamiliar people weren't going to stop me from having my morning cuddle, they could wait.

"Thank you, my love," I whispered, pressing a small kiss to his cheek before peering up at him quizzically. "so, who do we have today?"

"Shadowhunters and Vampires," I moved to stand beside him, smiling at the small sea of faces, some of which smiled back whilst others remained blank. A huge smile overtook me and my eyes softened as my es met Raphael's gaze. I knew he had turned away when I appeared in my pyjamas, he always felt awkward and refused to see me in a vulnerable state, saying it wasn't proper. I understood considering Magnus and I had practically raised him since vampirism. Though he hated to admit it, he was my boy but he had a reputation to hold up and such so I let him seem hardened and cold, sometimes.

"Hello my lovely boy," I held his face in my hand gently, looking at his handsome face before putting my arms around him. He kissed my cheek and hugged me back before clearing his throat, letting me step back towards Magnus. I sniggered as he glared at the group of shocked Shadowhunters, daring them to say something. "Play nice Rafe."

"This is Y/N, best friend for all intents and purposes, partner in crime and partnering warlock." I grinned, bowing playfully at the group who stared at me strangely.

"Y/N, these are the Shadowhunters of the New York Institute. This is Alexander," I noticed the twinkle in his eye at that name. "Jace, Clarissa and Isabelle. The new vampire is Simon, he's with Raphael." He gestured to each respectively and I looked over each of them.

"Nice to meet you all. What can we do for you then?" I let my eyes stay on Alexander a little longer than the others, taking in his tall muscular stature and handsome face.

"So, are you two, like, a thing or?" He trailed off and I raised an eyebrow, looking up at Mags and our grins matched.

"No," I chuckled, shaking my head, "We've been best friends and partners for a few centuries. Most people do assume that though." A gentle hand squeezed my hip and I leant into it softly.

"You seem close enough, you're kind of handsie too," I raised a curious eyebrow at the young vampire, enjoying his curiosity though going off the look on Raphael's face he didn't.

"We've lived together for a long time, and known each other even longer. We come as a pair, can't have one without the other but that doesn't have to mean we're together in that way." I grinned at him, my magic swirling through my fingers languidly. "Curiosity is a fine thing Simon but you should be careful who you're curious about, might just bite you in the ass." I chided him softly, using a small spell to deliver a small biting sensation on his butt. He yelped and jumped, laughing nervously, but grinning widely all the same. I liked him, he seemed sweet.

"And you wonder why Raphael doesn't play nice," Magnus tutted, an amused twinkle in his eye. I hummed before turning back to the matter at hand.

"Now, I've heard you're causing quite the stir in the Shadow world Clary Fray, what is Magnus getting us into now?"

"I need help getting my Mom back, Valentine has taken her," A shiver ran down my spine at that name but I motioned for her to continue. "I don't know where he's taken her but I could do with all the help I can get and I've been told you guys are the best warlocks to ask." I thought about it seriously, biting my lip as I did. "I don't want to cause any trouble but Magnus knows about some of my past memories, ones he blocked that could help me find her." I walked towards her, cupping her face in my hands, hushing her gently. I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and let my thumb wipe away one of her tears with a gentle smile.

"Sweet girl, we'll help however we can as long as it's not a threat to the Downworld." She nodded gratefully, mouthing her thanks as her chest shuddered with a heavy breath. "I can't promise we can remove them but we can damn well try."

"Mama, it's not that simple." Raphael interrupted, looking furious. "We shouldn't get involved in shadowhunter business. They cause nothing but trouble for us." He spoke through gritted teeth, a hard glare fixed on Jace who leered back at him. These two obviously didn't get along.

"Rafe, sweetie, you can't justify not helping them because of that. That would make us just as bad as the Clave now wouldn't it?" I crossed my arms, looking at him disapprovingly. We raised him better than this, his anger was just clouding his judgement. "If things get too much then we'll walk away won't we Mags?" I glanced towards my partner who agreed with me. "You know that's how we work, my darling, we don't bite off more than we can chew." I made sure to emphasise so the Shadowhunters knew where we stood, looking pointedly at Jace whose glare never faltered. Perhaps my comment about the Clave had touched a nerve.

"Well, if you come back tomorrow we can get started, we have stock to replenish and things to organise, I'm sure you understand." Magnus began to shoo them closer to the door, waving them goodbye as I hugged Raphael. He paid special attention to bidding Alexander goodbye and I couldn't help my smirk as I made him a drink. It was 5 o'clock somewhere in the world after all.

"I can't help but feel like the next few days are to be exhausting." I handed the glass to him and nodded solemnly. There was no doubt about that.

AO3 Top Relationships Bracket- Round 2 Side 1

Aizawa & Izuku is here as a platonic/familial relationship.

This poll is a celebration of fandom history; we're aware that there are certain issues with many of the listed pairings and sources, but they are a part of that history. Please do not take this as an endorsement, and refrain from harassment.

[darcyolsson]

bestie I need your help because I always see people mention that it's canon that jem and will were in love but I can't remember anything like that in the books so are they just kind of exaggerating or is it actually canon 😭😭 it's been too long since I read these books

so the answer no but also yes but no but yes hope that helps :)

if your question is "do they have an on-screen romance on par with the other romances in the books which involves them mutually acknowledging their romantic feelings for one another", the answer is no. in the infernal devices, their relationship is presented as a really close platonic relationship (with notable homoerotic overtones, but which man in tsc hasn't been there). HOWEVER,

there's two quotes from other tsc stories that people usually bring up when disussing this:

Clary took a deep breath. "Were you ever in love? Before the Brotherhood? Was there ever anyone you would have died for?" There was a long silence. Then: Two people, said Brother Zachariah. There are memories that time does not erase, Clarissa. Ask your friend Magnus Bane, if you do not believe me. Forever does not make loss forgettable, only bearable. (city of lost souls)

and

“What you said before,” she asked. “That Jace Herondale loves Clarissa Fairchild more than anyone you’ve ever known except someone — you never finished the sentence. Who was it?” “I was going to say you and me and Will,” he said. “But — that’s rather a strange thing to say, isn’t it?” “Not strange at all.” She cuddled in close against his side. “Exactly right. Ever and always, exactly right.” (after the bridge)

both of these are notably from spinoff stories set 100+ years after the infernal devices, though, so basically..... interpret it how you want to. cc said she did not intend to write them as a romance (and i don't think they are in tid), but that's what death of the author is for.

in MY humble opinion they were in love but only in the same way will & jem are one person. so like, yes, but not in the most literal sense, but it's kind of woven into every word in those books so you'd have to be quite blind not to catch it, and the story is stronger for it being a natural interpretation of the text rather than it being something that is outright stated (more than a few times, at least). but what do i know. hope this helps!

[lurafita]

Soulmates, but different

WHAT IF!!!! Let's overhaul the soulmate concept a little.

Maybe soulmates exist because otherwise, people that need to be in each other's lives, wouldn't meet.

The soulmate path is supposed to be followed, because if you are soulmates, you are supposed to be in each other's life.

However, that doesn't mean that everyone has a soulmate. It doesn't even mean that most people do. Just wherever circumstance and happenstance couldn't cover the basics via family or friendship or work connections; fate steps in with the soulmate connection to bring the necessary paths together.

Which also means that soulmates don't have to be romantically inclined.

All that built up for:

Platonic soulmates Max Lightwood and Magnus Bane.

The soulbond gets triggered in one or two ways. Either when the soulmate is in mortal danger, or when fate/the powers that be, decide it's time for them to be part of each other's life.

Au or canon divergent. Does not have to follow canon at all. (kinda can't follow canon events because as I have established the soulbond here, it is to make connections between people that wouldn't otherwise meet. So Magnus cannot be the High Warlock of Brooklyn that the group needs to approach because of Clary's family drama)

But with Malec. Because always Malec.

I look for partners who actively contribute to the plot and thread and who are excited about our characters and the plot.

Be communicative! If something doesn't look good or you just don't want to continue with our rp, just tell me! Please don't block me without any explanation and disappear!

I'm fine with NSFW or SFW. I'm open to pretty much any kink and have very few limits and triggers, so if there's something you want to try just let me know.

I love talking ooc.

If you are interested in writing with me, please get in touch or like this post and I will contact you! I am available on dms or discord (white.wings). Thank you for reading this far and I hope we can have lots of fun together!

Writing Patterns

rules: share the first line of your last ten published works or as many as you are able and see if there are any patterns!

Thank you for the tag @yeliuxi! <3

1. one hand on the trigger (the other hand in mine) // 暗线, Di Feisheng x Li Lianhua (MLC), Rated E

Li Xiangyi turned the collar of his leather jacket up and quickened his pace, trying not to look around too obviously as he checked if he was being followed.

2. again and again we look up to the moon // 细算浮生千万绪, Di Feisheng x Li Lianhua (MLC), Rated E

Thunder rumbled in the distance, and the ship tipped forward with a gut-heaving lurch as the huge wave it was riding crested and fell.

3. Lightwood After Dark, Magnus Bane x Alec Lightwood (Shadowhunters), Rated T

The party at The Institute is in full swing now, with everything going according to plan — the food and drinks that had been catered presented exactly as he instructed, no tech issues with any of the screens and photobooths, the music list more or less bearable thanks to Simon, and every part of the theme perfectly executed.

4. no sweeter taste // 特别甜, Di Feisheng x Li Lianhua (MLC), Rated G

"We don't need a recipe, of course your Lao Ba knows what goes in a cake," Li Lianhua says distractedly while digging in the depths of the kitchen cabinets for a bowl big enough to mix the batter in.

5. the moon in the water // 镜中花，水中月, Di Feisheng x Li Lianhua (MLC), Rated E

The man that Di Feisheng and Fang Duobing find on the beach is Li Xiangyi, but isn't.

6. can't read my poker face*, Di Feisheng x Li Lianhua (MLC), Rated E

Alone in his dark apartment, Li Lianhua is hunched over his laptop, the video that is playing on his screen reflected in the lenses of his glasses.

*this is a collaborative work but I happened to be the one who wrote the first line

7. being a teenager sucks, platonic junior quartet + Lan Sizhui x Jin Ling (MDZS), Rated T

"Why are we even here?" Jin Ling complained as he frowned at the rundown building looming in front of them.

8. now I've got you in my sights // 你眼里的一首情歌, Di Feisheng x Li Lianhua (MLC), Rated E

The light this morning is perfect, the first proper sun they've had after days of gloom and rain, coming in soft and warm when it filters through the gauzy curtains.

9. this is the nonsense of love // 只想跟你说些温暖的废话, Di Feisheng x Li Lianhua (MLC), Rated E

Friday afternoons just after lunch, Li Xiangyi decides, were not meant for sitting in Di Feisheng's office trying to make his brain concentrate on Fang Duobing's weekly department reports.

10. it ends or it doesn't // 奈何吟, Di Feisheng x Li Lianhua (MLC), Rated E

Li Lianhua can feel the bird's frantic heartbeat under his fingertips when he picks it up, life caged in fragile bone and soft feathers.

Looks like my first lines usually have some sensory description. I remember that the last time I did this tag game, most of them started with dialogue, so it's interesting that I seem to have changed that habit.

Pirate AUs (4 fics)

Fics where characters spent most of the time at sea with one or both of them being pirates! Multi-fandom, Alternate Universe only.

Doesn't require prior knowledge of media to read!

Set the Sails (and don't look back) by Terrific_Lunacy (Teen and Up) Harry Potter/Tom Riddle | Voldemort (Harry Potter)

Premise: 1724. All Harry wanted to do was to cross the Atlantic and start his apprenticeship under one of the most renowned physicians.  Tom Riddle is convinced everything floating in the seven seas belongs to him. That includes ship-wrecked, green-eyed youths. Especially if they tell him to fuck off. Notes: Pirate King Tom Riddle/Crew Physician Harry Potter. Could be read as platonic, but I adore their dynamics in this fic and the supernatural aspect of Harry being the son of the oceans was explored charmingly, yet with the harryesque grounds of discovering that he's a mythical powerhouse. Read this if you adore Pirate raids and banter and Harry Potter's brand of kindness and fire.

Matelotage by Strange_Soulmates (Mature) Harry Potter/Tom Riddle (Harry Potter)

Premise: In the aftermath of his ship's capture by the pirate crew of the Voldemort, Second Lieutenant Potter of the Royal Navy is taken hostage, held ransom for his uncle's fortune. However, the longer he stays aboard the Voldemort, the more confused Harry becomes about where his duty truly lies. Matters are not helped by the charismatic Captain Riddle, the man responsible for the death of Harry's parents, a man determined to pry all of Harry's secrets from him by whatever means necessary. Notes: Harry Potter retelling but in the seas! I love both their characterizations in this fic. It's incomplete, but the enemies-to-lovers aspect includes literal duels to proclaimed death, ripe tension, and exploration of death in the family. The addition of James Potter being a Commodore(?) and Lily Evans being a known pirate was done magnificently and tragically. Tom Riddle, as usual, is charismatic and aggressive, and unrepentant of all of it.

Dead men tell no tales by Lecrit (Mature) Magnus Bane/Alec Lightwood (The Mortal Instruments, Shadowhunters TV)

Premise: In which the prince of Idris and an infamous pirate find themselves stuck together on a deserted island and have to face the consequences when they get back on land. Notes: I was immediately hooked. Starting with Magnus Bane behind bars and Alec meeting him after dark. Jace and Izzy being the best siblings. I'm a huge fan of forbidden love and unconventional romance, and this fic elevates both ideas with emotion and character depth. This fic also has includes a sequel that goes deeper into the consequences of their relationship. Would alwayss recommend <33

Mors Vincit Omnia by themadtree Dazai Osamu/Nakahara Chuuya (Bungou Stray Dogs)

Premise: Chuuya has been repeatedly told that he is a loose canon. He doesn’t understand the full extent of that truth, however, until he’s tasked with arresting Dazai Osamu…and he ends up joining him on a treasure hunt instead. Notes: You don't need prior knowledge, but I think learning about Dazai and Chuuya's relationship anywhere would make anyone take a step backwards to breathe a bit lmao. For this, I'd advise going through the warnings. The fic explores gray morality, and pirate's life is true to word. That said, as you go through all the red flags, you also get a fic ripe with banter, fluff and humor. A bit of background on Dazai and Chuuya— a commonly explored trope is their partnership and compatibility, and how this is also conducive in making them rivals/enemies. The exploration of the ensemble characters might seem intimidating, but they're introduced and built really well that it's like reading any new fantasy ensemble.
