Alastair

favorite thing about him: he’s very warm. like a hearth. i’d trust him with my life.

least favorite thing about him: i kinda wish he’d put up with shit from people less like cmon it’s time to curse a bitch out

BroTP: him and matthew. their relationship would never be as strong as heronchild cus of parabatai ex machina, but they have a very organic bromance and frenemy-ship i love

OTP: thomastair, obviously

NoTP: him and charles, obviously

random headcanon about him: he’s got a very refined palette and has very strong, often scathing, cuisine opinions but he only says what he thinks about the food of select establishments to thomas or cordelia

song i associate with him: darari by treasure

[edwinspaynes]

i can't think properly or i'd do it all myself but

taylor swift (debut) album as tlh characters. welcome to do it incompletely and i'll collab i got stuck at tim mcgraw so

also yes or no is cold as you thomas when he's mad at alastair, a mix of that cog-coi gap and academy conflicted emotions? and teardrops on my guitar is his admiration from a distance while alastair's with charles. the outside is alastair's pov

iomwiwy is gracetopher. mary's song is jordelia. and invisible is cordelia @ james and grace in cog.

agree or disagree i don't mind just keen to hear what you think!

OKAY SO here are my takes:

Tim McGraw: Matthew to Cordelia at the end of the series, ngl. Like, yeah, the love is lost now, but it was something and he hopes she thinks of him sometimes and what they shared in Paris.

Picture to Burn: Thomas at Alastair after Chain of Gold. "Coming back around here would be bad for your health" has the same vibes as "I'll chuck you in the Thames if you talk to me again."

Teardrops on My Guitar: Academy Thomas to Academy Alastair for SURE but yes, also Thomas to Alastair when he's with Charles. Like, "he's the song in the car I keep singing? don't know why I do?" Yes. Yes yes yes. Also, THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS ME WISHIN' ON A WISHING STAR? Kill me dead you're so right

A Place in This World: This might be controversial but lowkey Ari? She feels a little lost and is trying to find her place in the world and I love her.

Cold as You: Yes, once again, Thomas to Alastair after Chain of Gold. Filled with conflicted emotions, you're so incredibly right.

The Outside: Has been on my Alastair playlist since Day One for obvious reasons. I absolutely adore this song for him like "how can I ever try to be better? Nobody ever lets me in" literally something he says in period-typical terms in Chain of Iron. Also in the Letter Game. And he's right! He's the best!

Tied Together With a Smile: Matthew. I don't even feel like I need to explain this. He cries but doesn't tell anyone that he might not be the golden one? He's tied together with a smile but he's coming undone? Yes. That's all there is

Stay Beautiful: Thomas to Alastair. Like he thinks he is so beautiful and hopes that life leads him back to his front door! He is waxing poetic about his eyes (like petals of a flower, not the jungle, but still!) Idk 100% see this, but also could be Alastair to Thomas too he also finds him beautiful I wish we got more of his PoVs :')

Should've Said No: I'm going to say maybe Cordelia @ both James and Matthew after Paris, lol. They should both indeed be begging for forgiveness at her feet. (I'm kidding, mostly).

Mary's Song: Yeah, unfortunately Jordelia. But, since I love this song, Thomastair too. "Said you'd beat me up you were bigger than me, you never did." Kind of a stretch but I don't want to think about James/Jordelia every time I hear it LOL

Our Song: OKAY LOWKEY GHOSTWRITER Because like. They're sneaking out and tapping on each other's window? They're in that little glow of first love? Idk I really like this association and am down with it LOL

A Perfectly Good Heart: Alastair to Charles please. A precursor to him going all-out and singing "I'll Bet You Think About Me" from Red TV at Charles because Charles sucks. I love the idea of Alastair blasting Taylor's angry country bops at Charles. It cleanses my soul.

Invisible: I actually want to go with Matthew to Cordelia here ngl

I'm Only Me When I'm With You: Yes I fully agree that it's either Grace to Christopher OR Alastair to Thomas also really works for it.

[ninacarstairss]

Hold me while you wait

Ship: Thomastair (Thomas x Alastair)

Part of @youngreckless Thomastair week (day 4: song association)

Prompt list: x

Notes: I’m sorry

“I'm waiting up, saving all my precious time

Losing light, I'm missing my same old us

Before we learned our truth too late

Resigned to fate, fading away”

Alastair had gotten his heart broken too many times to count. He’d adapted, thought it had impacted his capability and willingness to love.

He couldn’t let people get too close; every time he did, it had ended in disaster. Maybe Alastair was being selfish, but he didn’t know if he could take another heartbreak.

So he had to end things with Thomas before they even began. And, hell, was he good at that.

So he offered Thomas an apologetic smile. “It’s for the best,” he said for the hundredth time. Maybe if he said it enough, he’d begin to believe it.

Thomas nodded, his unfairly pretty eyes filled with tears. “I suppose so,” he said. “It was foolish of me to think… to think that I could finally be happy.

You deserve to be happy, Alastair wished to tell him. You deserve the world, and I can’t give it to you. That’s why I’m leaving.

Instead, he only said: “I’m sorry, Tom. Truly.”

•••

As soon as the door shut with a loud click, Thomas collapsed in sobs.

“So tell me, can you turn around?

I need someone to tear me down

Oh, tell me, can you turn around?

But either way”

Oh, how Thomas wished that Alastair would open the door once again, throwing his arms around him and promising him that he would never let go. But alas, he didn’t. He was gone.

“Hold me while you wait

I wish that I was good enough (Hold me while you wait)

If only I could wake you up (Hold me while you wait)

My love, my love, my love, my love

Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait)”

Oh, what he wouldn’t have given to spend the rest of his life with Alastair. For what was possibly the first time in Thomas’ life, he’d felt that maybe, just maybe, he’d found love. True love, the kind that couldn’t be broken. The kind of love that gave more than it took.

“I wish you cared a little more (Hold me while you wait)

I wish you'd told me this before (Hold me while you wait)

My love, my love, my love, my love

Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait)”

Thomas couldn’t help but wonder where he’d gone wrong. Maybe he’d opened up too much, scared Alastair away. He should have known better.

“This is you, this is me, this is all we need

Is it true? My faith is shaken, but I still believe

This is you, this is me, this is all we need

So won't you stay a while?”

Thomas had thought that it could have been just them—him and Alastair against the world. But Alastair had left, and now it was just Thomas.

It was stupid to think that it could have been otherwise.

A bit late but here's a song I associate with Thomastair (ps I removed the parts that I don't think fit them so the lyrics isn't rlly complete)

For Thomastair week by @youngreckless

Beautiful creatures, you and me Every time that we touch, it's dangerous This spark is more than chemistry

Every time we let go I scream and I call for more

Touch me Why don't we kill each other slowly? What can I say? Baby, what can I do? The monster in me loves the monster in you Hold me Squeeze a little tighter 'til we can't breathe What can I say, baby, what can I do? The monster in me loves the monster in you

Beautiful killer, cut me deep Just a single kiss and I'm in your spell Boy, you go in like I never seen Beautiful fire, love the heat, mmm

Touch me Why don't we kill each other slowly? What can I say? Baby, what can I do? The monster in me loves the monster in you Hold me Squeeze a little tighter 'til we can't breathe (Can't breathe, baby) What can I say? Baby, what can I do? The monster in me loves the monster in you

Every moment we spend Turning from friends to enemies And fighting to hold on to each other Every second we fall to fire below It's so beautiful The hell that we both made for each other (But it's all love and war) Louder we roar (Crying for more) I know it's so wrong, but baby, just

Touch me Why don't we kill each other slowly? Yeah What can I say? Baby, what can I do? Oh The monster in me loves the monster in you, babe Hold me Squeeze a little tighter 'til we can't breathe (I can't breathe) What can I say? Oh, what can I do, baby? The monster in me loves the monster in you The monster in me, yeah

[gabtapia]

@youngreckless I checked the playlists as you recommend me and I saw They don't know about us and I just knew that I needed to make it!!, Later on I would do a sad one!

People say we shouldn't be together ( ↑ this applies first to the English society in that time and second to the merry thieves who don't like Alastair)

Too young to know about forever ( ↑ they are 17-19, so probably the people would think that they won't get a forever and they will change their mind eventually)

But I say they don't know what they're talk-talk-talkin' about ( ↑ Thomas wants to be with Alastair, and for his descriptions he is looking for something that last, I mean he has had a crush with Alastair since the academy, and Alastair is internally a romantic who would love to have a beautiful and long relationship)

'Cause this love is only getting stronger ( ↑ Thomas feelings grow in Paris because he saw a glimpse of the real Alastair, and they keep growing in COG and COI, that's why he can't hate Alastair even though he wants to, and Alastair feelings grow slowly but steadily )

So I don't wanna wait any longer (↑ that's why Thomas kissed Alastair)

I just wanna tell the world that you're mine (↑ I think Thomas may want to do this but he is really afraid)

Oh, they don't know about the things we do ( ↑ nobody knows their interactions and as far as everyone knows they don't stand each other , so nobody knows how easy is for them to be together)

They don't know about the I love you's (↑ they haven said it, but I bet they think about it)

But I bet you if they only knew (they don't know) They would just be jealous of us (↑ because their relationship is so beautiful and honest, like I feel Thomas and Alastair can be themself with each other)

They don't know about the up all nights (↑ when Alastair followed Thomas in his night patrols, the sanctuary night, their date in Paris)

They don't know I've waited all my life Just to find a love that feels this right (↑ Thomas always knew that he was attracted to Alastair he was just afraid of recognize it)

One touch and I was a believer ( ↑ when Alastair touched Thomas tattoo, Thomas was hyperventilating for sure!, and in the sanctuary they couldn't get enough of each other)

Every kiss, it gets a little sweeter (↑ in the sanctuary were they keep kissing as much as they could, and even there is described each kiss is better than the last one)

It's getting better (↑ Thomas thinks that they are making progress and they can have something more)

They don't know how special you are They don't know what you've done to my heart (↑ this is more Thomas pinning for Alastair and Alastair realizing and accepting his feelings for Thomas!)

They can say anything they want (↑ hopefully in the future they will be together and they won't listen to the critics of the other people)

They don't know what we do best That's bet me and you, our little secret (↑ their relationship and their feeling are their secrets, unfortunately for Thomas, Alastair doesn't want a secret relationship {and he has the all the right to feel this way})

But I wanna tell 'em (↑ hopefully they are going talk about their relationship and Thomas is going to announce their relationship)

I wanna tell the world that you're mine (↑ this is what Alastair wants and if they can't have it, then he is not gonna accept the relationship, because he knows his worth and he doesn't wanna make Thomas choose between their relationship and his friends)

Thomas

favorite thing about him: he seems to have infinite patience which is something actually really admirable, he’s like a rock.

least favorite thing about him: he needs to curse a bitch out and release the inner sass that lives in him, like thomas is way too polite sometimes.

BroTP: thomas and matthew. there’s something so interesting between their interactions.

OTP: thomastair, obvi

NoTP: hmm… thomas and charles, just in theory, gives me a huge ick even though it never has happened and never will happen

headcanon I have about him: he eavesdrops all the time at events in different languages but doesn’t really gossip about it. for this reason, he knows who the madrid institute head is having an affair with but he hasn’t said anything about it.

song I associate with him: the louvre by lorde

[edwinspaynes]

what's your favorite taylor swift album? also, which taylor songs do you associate with your blorbos?

I'm an Evermore girlie, but I also stan Reputation and Midnights. Honestly Taylor doesn't have a bad album - like, my least favourite is Red, and I could listen to Red until the day I die and be totally content.

Also the 2nd part of this ask I LOVE.

Matthew: Anti-Hero, Forever Winter, This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, The 1, Gorgeous, Tied Together With a Smile, Long Story Short, Happiness, Bejeweled, Castles Crumbling, It's Time to Go, and Clean

Alastair: The Outside, Tolerate It, Illicit Affairs, Cardigan, High Infidelity, You're on Your Own Kid, This Is Me Trying, I Bet You Think About Me, ATW 10, Safe & Sound (for Thomastair), Sweet Nothing <3, The Great War, Call It What You Want, and Daylight (@ Thomas, thanks @alastaircarstairsdefenselawyer for the eternal song association)

Thomas: Hey Stephen, I Knew You Were Trouble, I Think He Knows, A Place in This World, Teardrops on My Guitar, Karma, Lavender Haze, New Romantics (just imagine him dancing with TMT to this :') ), King of My Heart, Marjorie (post-chot), Wonderland, and, of course, Mastermind

Say you won’t let go

THOMASTAIR WEEK — day 4, song association @youngreckless

“Can you sing something for me?” Thomas asked, his voice still thick with sleep.

Alastair raised his head and his eyes met Thomas' over the cup of coffee he was jealously holding in his hands. A smile tugged at Alastair's sleep at the sight of the other boy's disheveled hair and the faint gleam in his hazel eyes.

It was a cloudy day and the dim light of morning flooded the room. Alastair let his gaze rest on Thomas for a moment and his lips curved upwards. They'd barely seen each other for the past week: Thomas coming to bed at ungodly hours because of his internship and his despotic boss and Alastair having classes all day long and exams coming up. It was the first time in a week they'd woken up together and could sit at the table to have breakfast at the same time.

He stood and pressed a kiss on Thomas' forehead before taking his hand and leading him to the small space they'd called the music room. Thomas was still clutching tightly his coffee and Alastair couldn't help but smile at the sight, as the taller boy sat on the stool near the piano. Alastair sat in front of the instrument too, his bare knee grazing Thomas', a simple gesture of comfort he had greatly missed in the last few days. “What do you want me to sing, azizam?” he asked, a hand going up to cup Thomas' nape, fingers brushing his hair softly.

Thomas closed his eyes at the touch and Alastair felt the other boy's posture ease under his fingers like a reflex. “Whatever you want” he answered. “I just want to hear you voice for the next three minutes. Or maybe for the next three hours.”

Thomas grinned at him and Alastair thought he might just do anything for that smile. He placed another kiss on Thomas' cheek and then positioned his hands on the piano. His mind filled with notes and melodies and he searched for something that would fit the moment. As soon as his fingers started moving, Alastair noticed Thomas recognized the song.

I met you in the dark, you lit me up You made me feel as though I was enough We danced the night away, we drank too much I held your hair back when you were throwing up

Alastair turned his head to look at Thomas and saw the mirror of his own expression on his face. He was looking at him as if he was the only person that mattered in the world. He wondered if he would ever get used to the feeling of being loved by Thomas Lightwood in such a singular way. It still felt bigger than himself, and he was ready to get lost in the vastness of that emotion.

Then you smiled over your shoulder For a minute, I was stone-cold sober I pulled you closer to my chest And you asked me to stay over I said, I already told ya I think that you should get some rest

Thomas eyes fluttered shut again for a moment, then he opened them and a smile broke across his face. A shiver went down Alastair's spine at the sight. Thomas set down his cup of coffee and started singing with Alastair.

I knew I loved you then, but you'd never know 'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go I know I needed you, but I never showed But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old Just say you won't let go, just say you won't let go

As their voices became one, the words of the song hit Alastair fully, the truth behind what they were singing. He and Thomas had started as an accident, a twist of fate that had barely any meaning, and Alastair had wondered way too often when Thomas would tire or be overwhelmed with everything that Alastair was or needed and leave. But it had been four years and Thomas had seen all his lights and shadows, he'd wanted to know the worst part of Alastair and he'd loved them all as if they were his best qualities. In those four years he had taught Alastair to let go of his fears and to accept the love Thomas wanted to give him. And somehow, it had been possible: Alastair knew Thomas wouldn't leave, just as surely as he knew he himself wouldn't.

I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head And I'll take the kids to school, wave them goodbye And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night

When you looked over your shoulder For a minute, I forget that I'm older I wanna dance with you right now Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever

Thomas leaned in and whispered the next lines in Alastair's hear, giggling softly and giving him a peck on the cheek.

And I swear that everyday you'll get better You make me feel this way somehow

I'm so in love with you and I hope you know Darling, your love is more than worth its weight in gold We've come so far, my dear, look how we've grown And I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old

The song went on and memories of those four years started playing in the back of his head: breakfasts in bed and late night drives around town to look for a 24h store to buy snacks or to go wonder around the deserted places in the city, days snuggled on the couch having movie marathons and their travels around the world, the day Thomas first told him he loved him and the time Alastair surprised him with a trip to Paris and kissed him on the Tour Eiffel. The time they fought for days because everything seemed impossibly complicated and difficult but, against all odds, made it through the pain and found a new balance, a new home for their love to grow into.

I'm gonna love you 'til My lungs give out I promise 'til death we part like in our vows So I wrote this song for you, now everybody knows That it's just you and me 'til we're grey and old Just say you won't let go

When the song ended they fell into giddy kisses and blissful laughter, Thomas' coffee forgotten on the piano and probably cold by then. Thomas pulled Alastair onto his legs and put his arms around him, the feeling of his warm skin like a steady certainty wrapped around Alastair's heart.

“Hey, hold on” Alastair said, pulling back from the kiss and earning a grunt of protest in return. “It's your turn now,” he added, a grin breaking across his face. “Tell me something in Spanish.”

Thomas smiled back at him and leaned in to lay a gentle kiss on his lips. “Te quiero” he murmured against Alastair's lips.

Alastair brought a hand up to touch Thomas’ silken hair and locked his eyes with the clear hazel of Thomas'. “I love you too.”

“Y voy a quedarme, siempre.”
