Dru and Ash (Morgenthorn!!) headcanons because I rightfully cannot get them out of my head today:

I’m on the boat saying that Dru and Ash will be our first enemies-to-lovers relationship in the Shadowhunters books but here’s how I think it will go:

Ash, brainwashed by Janus (the only person he thinks that he can trust) and under the thumb of his mother, meets the TWP gang accidentally

Curious, like he was in today’s SOBH letter, once out of faerie for whatever reason, goes looking for Dru, and accidentally gets a bit too close.

Kit, Ty, Thías (and whoever else they’re with) are stunned at the sight of him, but Dru reacts first. He looks strikingly like his father, so she doesn’t recognize him as the little prince she met at 13 at first. She sees Sebastian.

We know that in TWP, Dru will be battling her trauma/anxiety from TMI and TDA days, so seeing the Sebastian of her nightmares—the man who stole her older brother, who indirectly killed her father—she does the first thing she can think of and throws a knife at him.

He dodges, of course, shocked and frankly appalled. Ty grabs Dru’s arm to stop her from throwing another, and they ask who he is/what he is doing following them.

Ash leaves before even answering. Kit thinks they should follow, but they don’t.

They meet again later, once things are going to shit, and Ash has realized that maybe his mother doesn’t want what’s best for them. He offers his allegiance to the TWP gang (a great parallel to Kieran in TDA) though is still tied to Janus without their knowledge.

They waffle on their decision but eventually one or more of them (not Dru) agrees that he is an asset that should stay with them, but be watched.

So, while Ty and Kit go on a side quest, Ty asks Dru to keep him in her room. Dru can’t say no to her brother, so, very reluctantly, she agrees.

Dru wonders how the hell she ended up harboring another boy in her bedroom secretly, especially one so arrogant that he keeps putting his boots on her bed.

Ash is amazed that Dru does not seem to be affected at all by his powers. He tells her as much. She rolls his eyes, sarcastically calls him an angel and says that not everyone can love him.

He is a little bit smitten 👀

Flash forward past some plot and some mutual respect, if not trust, growing. Maybe even some mutual saving each other’s lives action.

Dru finds the picture by accident. Ash always keeps it on him. Maybe he’s injured and she finds it while trying to help bandage his wounds. Maybe he has to change into more casual human clothes and she finds it in his cloak. Maybe he drops it and she picks it up, stunned and confused.

She can tell it’s a drawing done by Julian—she can recognize his art anywhere—but knows that it can’t be recent. Julian doesn’t even like Ash (if he even knows that he’s around the TWP kids at this point).

Maybe it’s then that she puts the pieces together and recognizes Ash from when they were kids.

She, obviously, immediately confronts him and it’s the first time that she sees him flustered. He reaches for the paper to snatch it back but she keeps it from his reach, demanding that he tell her what’s going on. Is this some sort of plan? Has he been duping them this whole time? Is he working for the queen?

“Drusilla! It’s not- I was a child. I was fascinated by you. How… How could I not be?”

Dru is absolutely stunned because. No one has ever spoken about her like that. She didn’t even have a friend (beyond Jaime for a very short period of time) before the academy. She was nobody.

But not to him?

And that’s all I have now but. You can see why I’m obsessed with them.

LISTEN TO ME, LUCIE AND DRU WOULD LOVE EACH OTHER

[drusilla-carstairs]

this is going to be very niche, but the TWP gang gives me SUCH Buffy the Vampire Squad (Scooby Gang) vibes.

Dru is Buffy, of course, a reluctant chosen hero who is sort of angry about having to save the world again, and wants to maintain her life and style while doing so.

Kit is Xander, the group funny-guy and underestimated hero.

Thías is Willow, local best friend and underestimated badass.

Ty is Oz, a man of fewer words than the rest of the gang, but more thought out and fiercely protective of those he cares about.

Ash is Angel, the outsider that they aren’t sure they can trust, but who really has a soft heart.

[drusilla-carstairs]

I literally know nothing about Thías’s personality and I just. adore her.

Ash x Dru x Thías

discuss

Bestie are you aware of secrets of blackthorn hall? Mari is kit's supposed girlfriend and thias pedroso will be dru's friend in twp an important character

your fandom has a lot of fans? good for you. but is your fandom crazy enough that they create a whole new character, decide their names, pronouns, sexuality and nationality based on just one line in which they were mentioned?

If I could draw I would be redrawing the Dru and Thías pic rn just to give Thías a matching streak of color in her hair
