#thomastair week

Do you think Thomastair will have kids? ❤️

hiii 💖 uhhh, very good question.

well....i think they will eventually have kids, but at the same time i can totally see them being the cool and funny uncles to their friends' children and deciding not to adopt, especially since they already have zachary, who, despite not actually living with them, definitely spends quite a lot time with his brother and thomas <3 i bet they go to cirenworth every other day and zachary absolutely adores his dadash and tom and wants to stay with them all the time when they go visit (imagine him being super exciting everytime they are supposed to come, like he wakes up super early and starts jumping on his mum's bed screaming at the top of his lungs 'dadash and tom are coming today !!!! i can't wait !!!!!! maman wake up !!!!!!!!' and sona loves his baby too much to complain also how could she ever blame him when thomas is a literal angel on this earth who treats her beautiful son like the most precious thing in the world, is the man even real-)

anyway

it's basically canon that they both dote on kids and we can totally see it in the christmas party scene(s) aka the scenes that altered my brain chemistry forever so no way that among their friends' children they won't become everyone's favorite uncles....they're both kind, funny, caring, affectionate....kids just adore them and want to play with them all the time. so why not adopting kids themselves once zachary is a bit older and they're, idk, around their 30s? i absolutely love this scenario as well *sobs* and i think they would make such good parents 😭

but yesss, i cherish both the perspectives....adopting kids at some point and taking care of their own children too or just looking after zachary and being constantly adored by their friends' kids 🥺

Saying I was going to write 4 different ships for the TSC week was ambitious. I now have 2 Thomastair fic ideas and 2 Herondaisy ones. Please let me have my fun I beg

[purplebass]

Oh, and a word for Thomastair: Um,,, pearl!

This is part of another longer fic idea I've had in mind for weeks where Thomas and Alastair go to Italy. After we met yesterday, I just knew that I had to use this for the prompt you asked :)

Thomas had never been on an actual beach before, so the day after he and Alastair arrived in Italy, the first thing they did was packing their bags with towels and food and go swimming in the bright blue Mediterranean sea.

They were walking on the shore when something picked Thomas’ interest and he couldn’t help but taking it in his hands to inspect it. “Look what I found,” he said to a curious Alastair, “it looks like an oyster.���

Alastair didn’t know much about seashells, but he believed that Thomas could be right. “It is really interesting,” he commented.

“There is no pearl inside,” Thomas said with disappointment after opening it, not really sure what he was expecting inside the shell.

“You are a pearl, hamsaram,” Alastair said, and that was enough to make Thomas forget about the oyster altogether.

guess who finally finished chain of thorns over a week later 🤩 my completely unorganized thoughts for the general public anyways chain of thorns spoilers ahead bros

- ghostwriter is the relationship i love them more than i love my life it's just like the cute little moments between them like when lucie was nervous before her parabatai ceremony with cordelia and he was holding her and comforting her i melted

- i honestly think james and matthews relationship was dealt with really well we know nobody is ever gonna top jem and will but i think they were written really well and them in edom together was so emotional to me

- tell me why i was so heartbroken when christopher died but i only cried when grace sent that fire message and wrote that it was created by kit 🥺lol i'll tell you why it's because we got zero real reaction about it

i wanted anna's pov as her baby brother died in her arms

i wanted cecily and gabriel seeing their sons body taken into idris and realizing what happened

where was sophie and gideon who also lost a child comforting them?!?!?

honestly i think that since christopher did die there was a lot of potential there

-i hated the love triangle and felt awful for matthew the entire time cause like didn't we all know jordelia was endgame i meannnn

literally love jordelia tho and i we'll never not think of james saying "sod that" and shooting the door open like sir 🫣also them traveling is something that is so personal to me i am in love with the idea of james and cordelia going all around the world and then taking their kids with them 😍

-after this book i feel like grace is a lost kitten and i want literally nothing more than to adopt her also did anyone else catch at the end when they said that grace doesn't talk much idk but i would like to give her a home

-the thomastair content 🤩🤩🤩 i love them so much i love that they're moving in together i love alastair with his baby brother i love eugenia saying she's gonna renounce her family if they don't accept thomas when he came out. every scene with them was a masterpiece

also alastair's personality like my boy is sassy and sarcastic and i would die for him

-i think the anna and ari's storylines progressed really well and they've come so far since we've first met them 🥺

-anyways my #1 ship matthew x sobriety came true and i could not be more thrilled

the moral of my rant here was that i really loved it and i think it's just cause im so in love with each of the characters but i loved almost every second of this book and didn't want it to end my only complaint would be how christopher's death and other potentially emotional topics (will and tessa crying when they found out the kids were stuck in london) were kind of just glossed over but overall i was in love with them all and i don't think i can accurately describe my feelings so that was my jumbled mess of thoughts

also can we talk about the fairchild twins please

[alastair-appreciation-month]

Thomastair Soulmate AU

Alastair sat in his room, when he felt it, a sharp pain, then a gentle tingle. He stared in wonder at his left arm, watching the beginning of a tattoo form. A rose shape had appeared by the time he was called to dinner, and he rushed to cover it up. It was a sign of soulmates after all, and he wanted to keep this a secret. Just as he had kept the brown streak of hair that had come in a secret. He walked downstairs to join his mother and Cordelia.  

“….Black is so common Layla. I do hope we know him.. he is a Shadowhunter though. We know that because of the parabatai rune.” His mother was saying.  

“Yes, yes. Black is common. Cordelia’s soulmate is a Shadowhunter. We don’t know if her soulmate is romantic or platonic, boy or girl yet. She could have both a romantic and platonic. We’ll have to wait and see.” Alastair said as he sat down 

Cordelia turned to her older brother “You don’t have to be rude about it, ya know. And because you were too busy pouting in your room, you missed the news. We are moving to London! I will finally be able to be parabatai with Lucie!”  

London. Which meant being in proximity to Charles. How would he be able to keep his secret living a mere carriage ride away? He finished his dinner quickly, rushing back up to his room to watch the rose complete. It had been difficult to feel the tingling, to hide it from his mother during dinner. He marveled at the eight points that had formed, and now some letters were forming. N was at the top, on the rightmost side was E, the bottom had the letter S, and the left had W. While it was nearly complete, Alastair began to panic. He recognized the design, had been shown it when he was in Paris. Alastair knew right now who his soulmate was. Thomas Lightwood. He now had to hide the mark from Charles, so he wouldn’t wonder where the mark came from and why he didn’t also get one.  

In theory, when the brown came in among his dyed blonde, he knew that Charles wasn’t his soulmate back when he didn’t get a streak of fiery red. He never processed it. Calm down Alastair, he thought, Thomas might be your platonic soulmate. But when he thought about that week in Paris, he knew. Thomas was his romantic soulmate, not platonic. Thomas was his one love in life.

Alastember - day 22

my thomastair playlist (2023 update)

yes, I took this week as an excuse to update the 3 playlists I posted last year

updating this post

yes, again, most of these are taylor swift songs, im sorry

Paris - Taylor Swift

I've said it a million times, this one is so obvious for thomastair

No, I didn't see the news cause we were somewhere else

first of all, we know they’re going to travel all around the world, that’s practically canon. second of all, this line comes after the verse where a third person is telling Taylor the gossip of one of her exes, so I imagine someone trying to tell Alastair something that happened to Charles, and Alastair being like “I didn’t know, I don’t care, I didn’t ask”

Levitate above all the messes made

they both hurt each other, but they can apologize and forgive each other and move past that

Haven’t You Ever Been In Love Before? - Lewis Capaldi

This entire song just almost perfectly describes thomastair during chot, when Alastair kept pulling away from Thomas, also, I feel like the chorus is probably a conversation that happened post-chot, pre-epilogue

And she said this "Haven't you ever been in love before? You heard 'em say, it takes the pain away And it's a feelin' that you can't ignore" But it's more like a knife to mе than a high to me And my heart can't fall apart anymore If you knеw what I knew, you'd be terrified Haven't you ever been in love before?

Labyrinth - Taylor Swift

Alastair being scared to fall in love again after ch*rles

Oh no, I'm fallin' in love again Oh, I'm fallin' in love I thought the plane was goin' down How'd you turn it right around?

Daylight - Taylor Swift

this song and the next one I can’t believe I didn’t add them to the playlist the first time???? specially since the first fic I posted on ao3 was a thomastair fic titled after this song??

My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in Everyone looked worse in the light There are so many lines that I've crossed unforgiven I'll tell you the truth but never goodbye I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you

I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked Clearin' the air, I breathed in the smoke

I once believed love would be black and white But it's golden golden

I once believed love would be burnin' red But it's golden Like daylight

I wanna be defined by the things that I love Not the things I hate

Dress - Taylor Swift

I can’t believe I didn’t realize how perfectly this bridge fit thomastair until I saw a tiktok about it??? (the person deleted the tiktok, otherwise I’d put a link to it here)

Flashback when you met me, your buzzcut and my hair bleached Even in my worst times, you could see the best in me Flashback to my mistakes, my rebounds, my earthquakes Even in my worst lies, you saw the truth in me And I woke up just in time, now I wake up by your side My one and only, my lifeline I woke up just in time, now I wake up by your side

Electric Touch - Taylor Swift

Got a history of stories ending sadly Still hoping that the fire won't burn me Just one time, just one time All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life Got a feelin' your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life And I want you now, wanna need you forever In the heat of your electric touch I've been left in the rain lost and pining I'm tryin' hard not to look like I'm trying 'Cause every time I tried hard for love, it fell apart

@alastair-appreciation-month

[helenofblackthorns]

I have honestly never managed to read through chot, which is kind of annoying because I know there are scenes i havent read yet that il probably love. But the problems are really annoying too, like why is everything set up at the end of choi solved immediatly and easily.

honestly I've very glad I managed to read chot in 12 straight hours on release day otherwise I would probably be stuck in the same place you are 😅 because you're right, the ending of choi is resolved really easily with maybe the exception of the whole James/Cordelia/Matthew situation

like both Anna/Ari and Alastair/Thomas work out their issues really early on and are fine the rest of the book despite the fact in was a massive deal at the end of choi that none of them were speaking. like why even have all the couples break up 😭 especially thomastair tbh because they already went through all that in choi they simply didn't need to do it again

I will say of all the dropped plots, the fact Jesse being the murderer and Elias' death barely come up in chot is probably the worse offender. I think Jesse has one scene at the beginning where he mentions all his runes are from dead people and Cordelia mentions her dad occasionally and thats IT. like one of the main things Cordelia & Matthew discuss before leaving for Paris is they have to be back in time for the funeral in about a week yet never once does the funeral come up in chot 😭😭 NOT ONCE. also if my besties new boyfriend was walking around with my dead fathers voyance rune on his hand personally I would have something to say about that idk

less of a dropped plot but the way the James and Grace situation was handled in chot also really bothered me. like at the very least I feel like James should have been the one to tell Cordelia about everything instead of Grace. imo Grace told her because the plot needed to move forward and that could have been avoided if James didn't have the bracelet for as long as he did. he should have lost it earlier in choi so he had time to both come to terms with it & deal with it on his own terms without The Plot interfering as far as I'm concerned

and you're right, there's also good parts of it they just get really overshadowed. I can't remember everything rn (its been over a year since I read it lol) but there were some funny/impactful/cool etc moments that I did really like. unfortunately I feel like most of them were in the first half because once the plot picks up its harder to ignore how awful it is (which... probably isn't going to motivate you to finish anytime soon anon 😅)

Fanfiction Masterlist

Since I was asked about my fanfics and where to find them, I decided to make a Masterlist. Maybe it will be easier for you and myself.

The Last Flowers

A series which integrates and corrects TLH canon. It comprises four long fics, a collection of missing moments one-shots and three oneshots as epilogues. I'm writing this series with @fimproda (A_WriterInSTEM on Ao3).

This series has many delicate themes, so, please, read all the TWs before reading.

Here are the single fanfics of this series:

Hydrangea: the 1st longfic, it's mostly about Gracetopher (kind of). Set between Chain of Gold and Chain of Iron. [Complete]

Daisy: the 2nd longfic, it's mostly about Jordelia, but unlike canon they can talk to each other like normal human beings. Set during Chain of Gold and Chain of Iron. [Ongoing, 5/6 chapters]

Chrysanthemum: the 3rd longfic, it will be a correction of all the nonsense that happens in Chain of Thorns. It will be about Gracetopher and Jordelia, but also AriAanna and Thomastair will have a minor role. (Not published yet).

Petals: a collection of one shots of missing moments from the rest of the long fics. [Ongoing, 3/6 chapters]

Geranium: I like to call it Hydrangea AU, it starts with the same premise but it goes in a totally different direction. It's mostly about Cecily and Grace having a mother-daughter relationship, but Gracetopher is a secondary relationship and AriAnna will have a minor role later on. It's independent from the rest of TLF and can be read separately. [Ongoing, 4/8 chapters]

Levander: the Thomastair epilogue, set after Chrysanthemum. (Not published yet).

Acacia: the AriAnna epilogue, set after Chrysanthemum. (Not published yet).

Night-blooming Jasmine: the Gracetopher epilogue, set after Chrysanthemum. (Not published yet).

Daffodil: Matt's epilogue, set after Chrysanthemum. (Not published yet).

Gracetopher

Exothermic: a Bridgerton-like fanfic that starts from the premise "What if Cecily got Herondale Manor instead of Will?" [Complete]

How (not) to end a feud: a fanfic where the clave is tired of the Lightwood-Blackthorn feud and decides to settle the matter down with a wedding. [Complete]

It's always been you: a collection of short one shots (500-1500 words) for the Gracetopher Week 2024. Mostly sports-related AUs. [Complete]

Endless Sunlight: a fanfic set after ChoT where Grace is obsessed by the idea of finding Christopher in another dimension, but once she arrives there she finds out that Christopher isn't the same kind and caring guy he was in her universe. Or, the self indulgent villain!Christopher fanfic. [Ongoing, 16/21 chapters]

What happens in the lab... : a PWP fanfic.

What happens in the carriage... : another PWP fanfic.

What happens in the hotel room... : the return of PWP.

Gabrily

Still insists she sees the ghosts: Cecily is accused of something she didn't do and her tale goes through two different parts of her life. [Ongoing, 4/8 chapters]

Bad luck: Morden!AU, it should be a commedy but my humour is broken and I can't gaurantee other people will find it funny. (Not published yet)

Across the PWPverse: a series of 3 PWP one shots connected with each other, but that can be read separately.

That one time in Chiswick Manor: a PWP where Cecily goes to Benedict Lightwood’s party and meets an interesting person.

That one time in the Institute: a PWP where Gabriel owes a favour to Cecily.

That one time in Southampton: a PWP where Gabriel is forced to admit that he’s wrong about something.

Lightwood family (Gabrily)

Balance: Modern!AU, no plot. Just Cecily Lightwood trying to balance work, marriage, motherhood and life in general. It will be a collection of short one shots (about 500/1000 words each) independent from each other. [Ongoing, 4/35 chapters].

Extra

A collection of the extra of all my fanfics. These posts will delve into some aspects if my fics.

Endless Sunlight: The planimetry of Chiswick Manor; The gardens of Chiswick Manor, Playlist, Random facts about Matthias Greene, Random facts about Oliver Whisperford, Afterword.

[edwin-paynes-bowtie]

what do you think thomastair’s nighttime routine looks like 😵‍💫

OKAY OKAY OKAY YES

So. I think that after dinner on an average night, they'll do one of two things. The first possibility is patrol. They're definitely each other's patrol partners, and they likely are on rotation at least a couple of times a week. They probably patrol alongside James, Matthew, Cordelia, and Lucie. This would last until like 3 AM or so and then they'd go home, wash up, and fall asleep pretty fast. Thomas would wake up and make breakfast/lunch the next day (since they'd sleep late post-patrol.)

I think that they're not on patrol more often than not, though. Barring emergencies, I think they'd be on rotations like 3 times a week. So the other four nights, they would relax after dinner. They would make a fire and play card games or read together. I think they also study languages together and practice with each other. After that, they go to bed.

One of my strongest headcanons is that they just kind of lay down in the dark and talk until they fall asleep. They'll snuggle (they sleep cozied up together, Thomas makes a GREAT pillow in Alastair's book). And then sometimes they'll talk about the day or their plans for tomorrow, sometimes it'll be like philosophical questions, sometimes it'll be, like, 'what if you woke up tomorrow and I was a gerbil?' '...you're not a gerbil, shut up."

And yeah :)

Also they brush their teeth because a) dental hygiene is important, and b) Alastair NEVER lets Thomas live that one down.

[4uru]

On this weeks of desi agenda:

@fangirlghost-19

Peak Thomastair song :

[purplebass]

Give us some Thomastair headcanons post-ChoT!

These are more than a few and someday they might turn into fan fictions maybe 👀💙

I probably said this several times and hinted it in my fics, but Thomas can't cook to save his life 😂 he once tried to prepare something easy after he asked the cook who works for the Lightwoods, but he almost set the kitchen on fire. Alastair promised him that he would try to teach him, but so far they didn't have enough time for that

Alastair is not a heavy sleeper and he hates being tickled (sometimes Thomas likes to wake him up with tickles)

They have a "games night" at the Lightwoods every two weeks. Alastair discovered that Thomas is super competitive when it comes to board games, but he can easily distracted if he eats while he plays lol

They adopted two cats, even though Alastair silently curses when they leave fur all over his black outfits. For this reason, Thomas suggested him to switch his wardrobe to different colors and to ask Matthew for advice, but Alastair refused. (He only lets Thomas pick his ties for now)

They went to Spain more than once and Thomas showed Alastair around Madrid. They decided to that they would visit at least one artistic city or country per year

One time they almost fell into the Serpentine because Thomas wanted to go boating but their little boat was damaged so they had to go back before the ship would sink lmao

A few years after Zachary was born, a neighbor of Sona at Cirenworth who decided to move to the city decided to gift his three horses to their family. It turned out Thomas didn't know how to ride (James was the only one who owned horses among their group). Alastair knew how to ride because when he was a child his mother taught him and Cordelia, and now he taught Thomas - even though if you ask Thomas, he'd rider ride on the same horse as Alastair

They have matching rings that symbolize their union. They exchanged their vows one night by themselves, and then threw an intimate party to celebrate with family and friends

Thomas likes to write poetry about Alastair, and Alastair writes music to go along with Thomas' poems

[obsessedwithbooksandmusic]

Hello u amazing lot!

this past week I’ve been a bit tired so I haven’t rlly been posting as much (I’ve mostly just been reblogging stuff I like tbh)

But i feel better now so I kinda wanna post one of my songs! Now, I love them all so idk what to post so I’m gonna randomly select a few I wanna post and get anyone who manages to see it to vote on which one they wanna see.

also I remember a few weeks back I did say I was planning on updating the Herondaisy and Thomastair song using CHOT but that will probably take some more time

Ok now for the poll!:
