Magnus wakes for no discernable reason that he can tell, until he hears a muffled whimper. It surprises him, because Alexander sleeps without dreams for the most part and is prone to waking quickly at a threat… for Alexander, dreams often represent a threat.

Magnus brings up a soft golden ball of light and looks to his lover with curiosity that quickly turns to concern. Alexander is twitching in his sleep. Little involuntary motions of his muscles and his brow is furrowed, creased with discomfort. A little whine slips past his sleep-clenched teeth and then his eyes open, rolling back so that only the whites are showing as he jerks, his body heaving up. There’s a moue of pain on his lips, fingers clutching the sheets and he shakes his head in his sleep.

Magnus reacts instantly, his magic rushing forward to twine around and into his lover until Alexander is covered by protective, sparking magic.

He finds it instantly, a devouring, possessive energy seeking to claim his boy and Magnus seethes at the audacity of whatever being thinks to claim what belongs already to Magnus.

Alexander settles, brow still lined with pain but no longer so tense and his eyes shut. For a moment he sleeps in limbo, Magnus’ magic angrily advancing on the foreign but strangely familiar magic. There is no dance of magic like Magnus normally uses, instead his magic bursts into furious flames of hell, pushing the intruder further and further away. There is no room for it here and there is nothing for it to claim.

Alexander wakes the minute the magic is gone, lunging forward and bringing Magnus into a tight embrace as his body shakes.  Magnus has never flooded Alexander with this much magic before and certainly not without permission. He opens his mouth to explain — but not apologize — and his boy makes a choking noise, pulling him into a desperate kiss as if he’s trying to crawl into Magnus’ body.

“It didn’t want to let go.” Alexander murmurs again his mouth when his boy moves far enough away to speak. “I can still feel the echoes of it, trying to attach to me, to latch on.” Magnus gives a soft snarl and kisses Alexander again, wanting to chase away the touch and memory and his magic pulses through Alexander’s body.

Alexander melts against the pillows and Magnus lets his weight settle on his boy, Alexander sighing in contentment, as if the weight of Magnus’ body is keeping him anchored and in place.

“Don’t take it away. Not tonight.” Alexander murmurs pleadingly, his eyes a silent plea and Magnus realizes he means Magnus’ magic. That Alexander finds comfort and safety in the far-too intimate embrace of Magnus’ magic.  It’s a balm to the raw anger that Magnus is feeling and he presses soft kisses to Alexander’s brow and face and cheeks.

“You’d have to beg me to take it away.” Magnus admits quietly, forehead resting on Alexander’s own. “I can’t bear the thought of you being so vulnerable again, especially not tonight.”

Alexander seems relieved by that, his arms wrapping around Magnus like tight bands of platinum, keeping him from moving away, locking him tightly close and Magnus revels in it.

“Go back to sleep, sayang.” Magnus murmurs and he nuzzles Alexander’s cheek and jaw, “I’ll keep guard of you, body and soul.”

Sebastian curses, furious that his spell has been interrupted.

There’s no way or reason for Alec to have woken up, not with how deep asleep he was when Sebastian started the spell. It’s with a vicious hunger that he shoves his magic back out, aching for another taste of Alec’s cool angelic power and a barrier slams into place before he can do more than caress it.  It’s angry and hot, like the burning fires of Edom that once charred his skin and Sebastian hates it.

He hates it even more when he realizes what it is.

Who it is.

Magnus Bane has no reason to suspect what he’s doing, no reason to be able to interfere.  Not when Alec is asleep in the Instit— Sebastian’s thoughts grind to a halt and he withdraws as the flames advance. 

There’s no way to check if his suspicions are correct. No way to casually enter Alec’s personal rooms or to ask if anyone knows where he is.  It’s with seething anger that he throws Alec’s sweat soaked shirt across the room. He’s grabbed it from the training room, along with all the other shirts and then ‘helpfully’ sent them to laundry.

Alec’s shirt never made it there, but he doesn’t seem to have noticed or cared that it’s missing. Sebastian sends out a searching tendril of his mother’s magic — gifted to him to wield — and once again is immediately blocked not only by the angelic core of the Institute but also by the wards that he now  recognizes as Bane’s magic.

It infuriates him that the very wards of the Institute — the magic that he has to be so careful not to touch — is the same magic as the magic who kept him from stealing away a sliver of Alexander’s soul.

It’s with anger that he finds himself in the training rooms, beating out his frustrations the best he can until he has to stop, rather than risk revealing himself. He’s sitting on the ground, staring at a towel and a flask of water when he’s interrupted.

“Hey, you okay?” He’s asked by Izzy, who is trudging into the room with her hands already wrapped.

“Just couldn’t sleep.” He allows, offering her a fake smile that he already knows she trusts.  She gives him a commiserating grimace and motions to herself with a nod. It’s a risk, but Izzy is the least likely to withhold information.  She trusts him — more than she trusts her family from the way she stood up for him against her brother, silly girl — but Sebastian will never hesitate to use an offered asset.

“Actually—” he hesitates, as if unsure of himself. “I was hoping to ask you, what time does Alec’s shift start?” She blinks at him in clear surprise, but there’s no suspicion, just a hint of curiosity. “I realize your brother doesn’t like me, but I’m hoping to find a way to earn his trust. Perhaps with extra patrols or reports.”

“Well, you can’t go wrong volunteering. He’ll be back in time for the evening patrol to start preparing.”

“Back?” Sebastian asks, “was he called to Alicante?”

Izzy laughs, surprised by the question and she shakes her head, “Alec sleeps at his boyfriend’s most nights. He’s available for emergencies via Magnus portaling him back when needed. It’s a good system and this way, Alec can’t be woken up for every little thing.” She winces as she says the last part and Sebastian immediately knows she’s one of the ones who drove Alec from the Institute into Bane’s arms with persistence.

“Runed doors didn’t work?” He asks, forcing his tone light and joking and Izzy blushes and shrugs.

“Jace is his parabatai, he can override most of the runes and Alec doesn’t like locking him completely out. It’s supposed to only be for emergencies but—”  Izzy gives him a sheepish shrug.

Sebastian freezes, a new idea forming because while Alec’s soul is currently under guard by a very possessive and powerful warlock, there is a piece that remains unattached to Alec’s soul. Healthy and hale, residing perfectly within reach.

And completely unprotected, ripe for the plucking.

“Well, I applaud him for finding a new way to get a full night’s rest.” Sebastian says with a hungry grin that he softens with a laugh, “I’m going to go see if this helps me sleep.”

Izzy waves him off with a nod and a smile, already gearing up to practice.

Prompt 187

Clockwork would openly admit that he couldn’t see Danny’s timelines. Not since the moment he stepped into that portal and became something more. A child of Infinity, of the very Realms itself. 

But he’ll also admit that it always meant that the child surprised him all the time. This just happened to be a startling surprise, and an admittedly amusing one, even if Danny was openly complaining about the situation. 

“It’s not fair! You have to be able to fix this, right? Right?!” the ghostling, quite literally now, practically yanked at his cloak. “Clockwork, I was going to graduate, I can’t be two! Please, you’re the master of Time, you can fix this right!?” 

No, no he could not, seeing as young Daniel was in fact, immune to timeline machinations, doubly so for his own. To the ghostling’s open distress, which he did his best to soothe. What he could do instead, was stop time in his home dimension, and instead let him age back up again. 

Which the young halfa wasn’t happy about, but it was the best thing they had, so Clockwork supposed he had a ghostling now. A tiny adorable ghostling who kept pouting each time his much younger body had any sort of effect on his behavior. 

He’d never exactly had a ghostling before, nevermind one who was part human, but he would admit he honestly was enjoying it. Most time was spent alone, something he hadn’t realized until Danny ended up crashing into his unlife. 

Honestly he would openly admit that he absolutely adored his little ghostling. Who was now around four, at least physically, and had gotten into the adorable habit of curling up in the pendulum in his chest. Which was honestly the safest spot in Long Now, he’d admit. 

The singular issue however, with this habit, was that when someone attempted to summon him, they got his ghostling as well. And well, normally he could very much control himself for these summonings that happened every few hundred or so years, but well. There was a reason why even the Observants had stopped popping in the moment they realized he had a ghostling. 

Nesting ghosts do not mess around should they feel one is messing with their very vulnerable child, and really it’s not his fault the mortal cultists woke up and startled Danny. Perhaps deleting them from the timeline was a bit too far, if the other mortals rapid paling was to go by, but oh well.

Blob Meditation

It was no surprise that Sam had the worst temper among the three of them, Danny thought it was because she worried too much, Tucker thought it was accumulative stress. The thing is, nothing she did helped with calm her down, which was why she suggested her friends to leave her alone for a few minutes, she didn't want to punch them.

They agreed and Sam sat on the castle stairs, she was stressed about her parents, college and Danny's safety. She was thinking about how to get him to move with them to Gotham, where Jazz was working but Danny wasn't comfortable with that. He wanted to help as much as they did, and it was obvious he wouldn't be able to contribute anything if he moved.

The fact that he had to hide from vigilantes who never paid him any attention before also frustrated him.

As she was thinking, some blob ghosts came bounding up to her, she pushed them away and continued on, but they swarmed and enveloped her. In a few seconds all her stress was gone and Sam looked at the blobs in dismay, though they gave her an idea.

Frostbite commented to her that the Blob ghosts were relaxing due to the fact that they purify, negative emotions were part of that. Sam smiled and offered Danny his business idea, the halfa looked at Sam doubtfully but hesitantly accepted.

Soon there was a new business popping up in Gotham. A relaxation and meditation center run by a young man, although it seemed to have a confidentiality agreement if you became a member. Strangely, both Rogues and regular people were attending.

The Batfamily became suspicious and sent Red Hood to investigate. A few days later, Jason was a member and was as calm as they had seen him in years, not even angry with Tim or calling him replacement for a whole week. Bruce began to worry that he had been caught in some kind of mind control.

Sam was happy that the business turned out good, seeing the room full of Blob ghosts was not surprising, they all floated around Danny and his "clients" happily, she guessed they were feeding well, Danny also seemed happy to contribute something to pay his University and their shared department so everyone was winning.

The 90s/early 2000s was the best Disney era for male protagonists

This isn't all of them, but these were the best of them, imo. And this is just the characters; how I felt about their movies varies. I hope more Disney films in the future feature male leads--especially musicals!

[autismmydearwatson]

Disney songs that hit different when you're queer

"Reflection" Mulan (specifically if you're transgender)

"I'll Make A Man Out of You" Mulan (the transmasc euphoria song)

"Jack's Lament" the Nightmare Before Christmas

"Part of Your World" the Little Mermaid

"God Help the Outcasts" the Hunchback of Notre Dame

"I'm Still Here" Treasure Planet (specifically my transmasc anthem but my experiences are not universal)

"Out There" the Hunchback of Notre Dame (when you're closeted)

"Waiting On a Miracle" Encanto (when you're queer and religious)

"One of Us" Lion King 2

"How Far I'll Go" Moana ( when the people who raised you wouldn't let you be exposed to any queer media)

"Colors of The Wind" Pocahontas (the only good thing the Pocahontas franchise brought us was the soundtrack. When my friend was closeted she said to a girl who was being blatantly homophobic " you think the only people who are people are the people that look and think like you." Stopped her in her tracks!)

"Kiss the Girl" the Little Mermaid (but specifically when. You know what I mean lmao)

"When Will My Life Begin" Tangled

"Go The Distance" Hercules

"I Won't Say I'm In Love" Hercules

"One Jump Ahead (reprise)" Aladdin

"Proud of Your Boy" Aladdin Broadway musical

"If I Never Knew You" Pocahontas

Do feel free to add. Just don't let Disney see this

Gil-Galad: I'm the 7 foot tall, very muscular High King of the elves, wielding a ring of power and a legendary spear

Some fool: So you're leading the battle

Gil-Galad: No that's Elrond

Some fool: Ok so you're at least the strongest fighter

Gil-Galad: No that's also Elrond. I do one attack per battle, I ballet twirl and cut one orc's head off while everyone else kills waves of enemies

Some fool: So you're probably extremely wise

Gil-Galad: No but Elrond is

Some fool: So Elrond should be High King

Gil-Galad: No

prompt fill: the treasure of kings

the prompt deleted while i was writing but i got i back from the prompter so here we go

@thiawenwriting

A demon prince becomes obsessed with Alec and abducts him. Magnus is like - Oh hell NO. Any demon prince is fine. Here’s a prompt I shared on the discord server recently if you want to use it. But it doesn’t have to be Lilith - So Lilith hooked up with Benedict Lightwood back in the day. Let’s say she really misses him and wants herself a Lightwood again. She finds out about Alec and is like - jackpot. Here is a beautiful Lightwood. Even better than Benedict. She stalks him for a while maybe and becomes obsessed. She’s keeping this one. Forever. She wants a beautiful angelic consort and she can’t wait to share him with Sammael when he finally gets around to reforming. So she kidnaps Alec. Takes him to Edom maybe. Plans to marry him whether he likes it or not. Magnus loses his goddamn mind. That skank thinks she can dare take his angel? Asmodeus is about to get his wish to be the sole ruler of Edom because Magnus is going to cut that bitch’s head off.

so i loved working with this idea and i let saeth have some input on who i used as the obsessive demon ^_^

i hope you enjoy

“I approved your transfer here as a favor for Aline,” Alec says as Sebastian nears the door. When he looks back, Alec’s eyes are watching him with cool suspicion and Sebastian reminds himself that it was just too soon.

It would be time, but not just yet.

Mother had always said that her favorite of lovers was Benedict Lightwood and she’ll be pleased he’s following in her footsteps. Sebastian rationalizes this to himself as he walks away from Alec’s office and he reminds himself not to turn around and just summon his mother.

He can’t take Alec to Edom without any preparation and this is his first time outside of his mother’s realm in years, he wants to indulge.

It’s with that thought in mind that Sebastian goes to find Clary… watching her and Jace with hungry eyes as he can’t decide who he wants to keep the most.  All three of them are important to him and each other but if he can only keep one, he finds himself torn.

It’s with a large, friendly smile that he offers the two of them towels. It’s then that he hears a surprising bit of news and he can’t help the edge his voice takes.

“Alec’s dating a warlock?” Sebastian asks, surprised but also displeased. “Which one?”

His question isn’t deemed strange at all by the others and Clary laughs and elbows Jace, “the High Warlock of Brooklyn, Magnus Bane.”

Sebastian swallows down the ash that sits on his tongue as he pretends to smile and nods to them both as he walks away.

Magnus Bane is untouchable for now and more importantly, he’s practically family considering how things work in Edom. Which means Sebastian probably shouldn’t try to kill him permanently, or it will upset Asmodeus too greatly.

Sebastian sees them later, Magnus showing up and letting himself in Alec’s office without even a knock, striding in like he owns the place.  It’s with seething anger that Sebastian once again falls short of a true son of Edom.

Sebastian knocks on the door, because he can’t help himself and there are long moments of pure silence that stretch out between him knocking and the door clicking unlocked and swinging in.

Whatever he thought he’d see, it wasn’t Magnus Bane in Alec’s lap, looking smug as he pulled away from Alec who looked more dazed and euphoric than Sebastian had imagined he could look. There was nothing of the cold, calculating Commander that Sebastian admired, or the doting but stern older brother who cared too much.

Alec looked like pleasure incarnate and a debauchery of divinity.  Magnus Bane doesn’t care about audiences and he boldly licks at the spit connecting their mouths, tongue dipping into Alec’s open, slack mouth. Alec whines, arching up and keening into Bane’s waiting embrace. There’s the slick sound of tongues caressing and Alec is shaking, like the kiss alone is too much for him.

“Alexander isn’t available right now.” Magnus Bane tells him, dismissing him without a second glance and Sebastian has to dig his nails into his palm and bite his tongue until he’s nearly pierced through it.

Which is fine.

He’ll heal it with an iratze, it won’t be any worse than the rest of his wounds.

“Thank you for letting me know.” Sebastian manages to get out, because this glimpse of Alec has only assured him of his preferred goal.  If Sebastian can only take one of what he wants right now, then it’s going to be Alec.

Before Asmodeus’ son can take any more of what should be Sebastian’s.

I think it would be so funny if Nightmare had been going to Ccino's cafe for years and casually talking about his boys but Ccino thought they were cats the whole time.

Like I'm picturing at the start him describing Killer like "There's an overactive beast in my castle now, he shreds almost everything and gets distressed when I'm out of sight for too long" so obviously Ccino thinks he got a pet or something. He suggests maybe getting another one to keep him company so he won't be so clingy and Nightmare takes the idea on board.

Then the next time he comes in he's got a bone to pick (pun not intended), that he got another one - this one sleeps all day and hates doing work but they hate each other and won't stop fighting. Ccino nods along because he's been there before and kinda motions to some of his shop cats. "Whenever I bring a new one in here, I always introduce them slowly, you need to give everyone a chance to get used to each other y'know? Understand that the new one isn't a threat". Nightmare assumes he's just using the cats as a metaphor and also takes this in as good advice.

He comes in a while later telling Ccino how he got another one, introduced them more carefully like he said, but this one has a strange relationship with food. He goes on saying how he came from a place where there was very little so he understands, but it's hard manage his eating needs and the whole time Ccino is just really surprised Nightmare is taking in all these poorly stray cats.

He comes in to tell him he took in another one ("another one?? Nightmare, is this four now?" "(sigh) Yes") and he was all alone and such a pit of negativity Nightmare couldn't bring himself to leave him. How the others took to him much faster and he seems so much happier just to have a home again.

This has been going on for years and neither of them realise. Nightmare thinks Ccino is the most knowledgeable mortal out there because he always seems to know what his boys need. Ccino thinks Nightmare has a huge soft spot for 4 little cats who sound like the toughest pets in the multiverse.
