[harmonaka]

the tags i wrote on the goob post got me thinking but like literally almost all my friends I've ever made online i made bc of rp. Literally everyone im in contact with i think.

even with one of my close irl friends, i decided i could trust them to be weird around bc they also used to rp.

if i didn't meet someone DIRECTLY through roleplaying, our friendship stuck bc of the influence of roleplaying on some level.

Elsinore | Fullmetal Alchemist | The Locked Tomb | Motherland: Fort Salem | Simoun

General likes:

– Relationships that aren’t built on romance or attraction. They can be romantic or sexual as well, but my favorite ships are all ones where it would still be interesting or compelling if the romantic component never materialized.

– Loyalty kink! Trust, affectionate or loving use of titles, gestures of loyalty, replacing one’s situational or ethical judgment with someone else’s, risking oneself (physically or otherwise) for someone else, not doing so on their orders. Can be commander-subordinate or comrades-in-arms.

– Heists, or other stories where there’s a lot of planning and then we see how the plan goes.

– Femslash, complicated or intense relationships between women, and female-centric gen. Women doing “male” stuff (possibly while crossdressing).

– Stories whose emotional climax or resolution isn’t the sex scene, if there is one.

– Uniforms/costumes/clothing.

– Stories, history, and performance. What gets told and how, what doesn’t get told or written down, behavior in a society where everyone’s consuming media and aware of its tropes, how people create their personas and script their own lines.

General DNW: rape/dubcon, torture, other creative gore; unrequested AUs, including “same setting, different rules” AUs such as soulmates/soulbonds; PWP; food sex; embarrassment; focus on pregnancy; Christmas/Christian themes; focus on unrequested canon or non-canon ships; unrequested trans versions of characters.

Smut Likes: clothing, uniforms, sexual tension, breasts, manual sex, cunnilingus, grinding, informal d/s elements, intensity.

Requesting fic; open to art treats!

Relationship(s): Hamlet & Ophelia; Hamlet & Horatio & Ophelia; Bernardo & Hamlet & Laertes & Ophelia

I found the friendships in this game, and the different ways that characters can reconcile or try to find a way forward together, to be really sweet and moving, and I'd love to read something that focused on those relationships of trust and support. I like how important Ophelia and Horatio's counsel and friendship is in timelines where Hamlet becomes king; I like Hamlet regretting how he behaved towards Ophelia and striving to live through his depression and find out what it is that he wants, not what everyone else wants of him; I like seeing childhood friends Bernardo and Laertes and Ophelia and Hamlet, whose growing-up has stretched them so far apart, taking time to catch up and enjoy each other's company a little.

So, futurefic in one of the timelines where everything doesn't go to shit? A timeline that we don't see? (There is something narratively interesting to me in Permanence/Passion in that the entire plot of Hamlet ends up as a distant backstory to someone's full life; I don't know how compatible that idea is with these requests, but if you want to write any of these groups fucking off to Italy or Constantinople or London and living until the Elsinore pressure-cooker is a distant memory, I'd be just as happy with that as with fic about them building some kind of future together still in Denmark, trying to make it better for its people and to hold on to who they are as individuals, and friends, beyond their roles.) If you want to write Hamlet/Ophelia, Hamlet/Horatio, or for that matter Horatio/Bernardo as shippy, I'm fine with that, but I don't want a focus on the romantic aspects of their relationship.

Fandom-Specific DNW: death of requested characters within the timeline being explored, or focus on death of requested characters. These characters die in this game a lot and I don't need you to pretend entirely that it's not a time loop game, but I would like them to be happy. If you write the Bernardo & Hamlet & Laertes & Ophelia request, I'm fine with either or both names/pronouns for Bernardo|Katherine, but I don't want to read a story focused on their gender or coming-out. Please don't include Peter Quince as a character (you do not need to retcon, you know, the existence of the time loop).

Relationship(s): Maria Ross/Olivier Mira Armstrong

I'll admit: I am a shallow, shallow person who loves the heartwarming and id-satisfying Briggs loyalty-kink complex (The watch! Buccaneer handing Olivier a clean pair of gloves after she kills Raven! Constant and deeply sincere saluting! Olivier’s explanation of why she wants Miles around and her lack of patience for anyone’s shit) but would like an f/f manifestation of it for actual shipping. Post-canon or AU where Maria is assigned to Briggs, or works for Olivier in Central? Does Maria foil a plot against Olivier, or Olivier save Maria's life in battle? Does Olivier order Maria into a firefight? Hit me.

Fandom-Specific DNW: Olivier/men, even mentioned.

Fandom: The Locked Tomb

Relationship(s): Abigail Pent & Dulcinea Septimus; Gideon the First & Matthias Nonius

Dulcie and Nonius were two of my favorite additions to the cast in Harrow the Ninth (and Dulcie in "Doctor Sex" via letter). I loved everything we learned about Dulcie - her wit, her quick thinking in a pinch when confronted by Cytherea and her secret to Harrow. I found her "The only thing preventing me from being exactly who I wanted..." speech both genuinely moving and very funny, and I love her thirst for revenge. What else might she and Abigail Pent, "independent research? it isn't even my birthday!" daredevil spirit-talker par excellence who has just conjured up a ghost out of an epic poem, get up to after Harrow's bubble collapses? Or what were they up to when they weren't on screen in Harrow's dream, putting together this whole, well, play?

Nonius's arrival, entire scene, and departure to fight the Beast made me very, very happy on levels I have trouble explaining. It was so heartwarming?! Because it was impossible, and because poetry won, and because they went off to do the best they could...I don't know, exactly. I'd love to read either more about his mysterious past with Gideon the First, or about their second encounter as allies (throw in Marta, Ortus and Pro if you like as well!)

Fandom-Specific Exception: to my unrequested ships DNW, Dulcie/Cam & Dulcie/Pal. I love their three strand thing.

Fandom: Motherland: Fort Salem

Relationship(s): Abigail Bellweather/Raelle Collar

I fell hard for this show and Abigail/Raelle is the ship I’m most excited about - they get off to a bad start for all kinds of personal history reasons and have problems with each other, but when it gets down to the wire Abigail would do anything for Raelle and is very gung-ho about having Raelle’s unconventional but extremely powerful magic under her leadership, regardless of Raelle being a loose cannon. She told her she loved her!! <3 And by the end, Raelle also clearly knows what Abigail's going through (like when she talks her down in "Citydrop"), respects her leadership, and cares deeply about her and wants to protect her in return. I love that loyalty dynamic, and their competence as fighters/witches.

Physical combat, strength in general, magical strength, ability to work magic together, knowledge of the magical canon vs. out-of-the-box techniques...what parts of their skills and their bond could be challenged in the weird dimension that the end of season 1 leaves them in? Or when they get back home and new challenges await? (In my head, the decision not to send them to War College is not revoked; the unit becomes some kind of special-forces secret strike team rather than cannon fodder.) Maybe something where Raelle goes/has gone into a fight as a berserker-type for Abigail and then comes back to her, or where Abigail protects/has protected her soldier (her girl!! I love her protectiveness of Raelle towards the other cadets, imagine it in a battle!)? Or an arranged marriage AU where it's usual for witch soldiers to marry to combine their magic power or something...

I would also be up for smut for them, especially something d/s-y where the loyalty-kinky dynamic of Raelle being Abigail's weapon, at her command, is echoed in sex!

Fandom-Specific DNW: sex solely for magical purposes without an emotional connection (sex for magical purposes is fine), focus on Raylla (I don't need you to retcon it, but please don't dwell either on Raelle still having feelings for Scylla or on her getting over Scylla for Abigail), Scylla bashing, Abigail/Adil (I would prefer to imagine, if he is mentioned in the fic, that they’re just friends).

Fandom: Simoun

Relationship(s): Aer/Neviril; Aer/Neviril & Neviril/Paraietta; Aer/Neviril/Paraietta; Aer & Floef & Neviril & Paraietta & Rodoreamon & Vyuraf

Aer, and Aer/Neviril, really grew on me on my recent rewatch. I appreciated her more as the determined bit-of-a-loose-cannon, who grows into a respected role in the choir, than the manic pixie this time, and noted Neviril's comments about how she was drawn to Aer's determination. (I've written a lot more about what I love and am interested in about Neviril and the show in general, her journey of figuring out what it means to her exactly to lead an air force, here.) I'd love to know what happens to them post-canon - what is the "new world" and their travel in it like? It's an escape for them, sure, but what are they escaping to, not just from? Are there problems there, too?

I'd also be up for a poly situation where Neviril is involved with both Aer and Paraietta, her long-loyal second-in-command whom she's blessed and forgiven, as a V where they're friends or as a triangle where Aer and Paraietta are also involved (I don't quite know what that leg of the triangle would look like but I do like how they work together in battle even when they're shown as having personal issues.)

If Neviril and Aer make it back to the main world when war is brewing again, as at the end of the series, but their old cohort can't fly anymore, what do they see their role as being? Does Neviril see herself as a leader for peace, for war, for something else? How do they interact with their former squadmates, whether as part of a more plotty piece or not?

I could be interested in explicit fic for this canon, as an option - the series is, on some level, about the contrast between the reality and physicality of their bodies and the general perception of what they do (which even in its non-spiritual military capacity is removed from a connection to their bodies via the Simoun aircraft), about becoming an adult, and of course about gender.

Fandom-Specific DNW: I'm not really interested in Kaim and Alty and would prefer for them not to appear or for their backstory to come up. I would also not like to see pre-timeskip Dominuura/Limone.

*drum rolls Presenting another list of cutegirlmayra’s amazing work! TA~DAH!!

“Boom!Sonamy: I need more jealous/concerned sonic please. Whatcha got miss?” | “Anymore Sonamy Sonic Boom headcanons” | “Ok, I got an idea! A Sonic Boom Prompt (doesn’t have to be necessarily sonamy-ish) where the gang go on a death defying mission! Like chock full of action! I’d be interested to see how you’d do this :)” | “I was thinking of a prompt that there is going to be a half hour special of Sonic Boom that features time travel where Eggman sends Sonic to the future and he meets the older version of the team, but they’re angry at him thinking he abandoned them! What do you think Mayra?? :3” | “Anymore Sonamy Sonic Boom headcanons?” | “Hiya~ it’s Alii. I got a prompt for ya! I was reading the other prompt that you wrote for an anon, and it definitely got me thinking: What were to happen if Sonic and Amy were official, but had to keep it hidden? I’m picturing them stumbling to do so, especially Amy. Try to keep them as canon as possible, which I know is hard, but it can be done!! Also, if you could, I would love to see how suspicious Tails gets. He’d probably pick up on Sonic’s change of behaviour? aa thank you!! xx” | “Ok this is just a Sonic Boom! Prompt, and you don’t have to do it if you don’t have time. Anyway, one of my major Sonic Boom headcanons for me is that all the team have mysterious pasts. So this would take place when they’re on their way to find Lyric and they find an old wise man in a temple they fall into. The man tells them they need to know their pasts in order to be a good team, so he uses his magic to help them see eachothers memories. I hope you get really detailed, but anything is great!” | “How about just headcanons for Knuckles (as in character development-ish)” | “Can you do a boom!prompt telling the story of when the gang met sonic for the first time? And possibly add some sonamy? Like what they first thought of him. (I’m sorry if this doesn’t make sense xD) Thanks!” | “Mission Prompt for Sonamy” | “If you still are doing the meme prompt, can be the letter I with Sonamy? 👉👈” | “Hey, if you wouldn’t mind, could you do something with Sly/Carmelita with F from the second prompt meme? That would be amazing!” | “Mission: Prompt 4” | “Mission: Prompt” | “Oh oh oh! Can you do a boom!sonamy prompt where amy is totally stressed out bout stuff and almot pulling her hair out (not literally lol) and so sonic takes her out for a night on the town! If you please, :)” | “OKAYOKAYOKAY SO I SAW THE THING ABOUT HOW THE SONIC BOOM GANG WERE THE ORIGINAL ANCIENTS AND I TOTALLY FLIPPED COULD YOU DO A BOOM!SONAMY PROMPT BUT INSTEAD OF SONIC AND AMY YOU COULD WRITE ABOUT THE ANCIENT AMY AND ANCIENT SONIC AND THEIR STORY?? I AM SORRY BECAUSE YOU PROBABLY NEED MORE INFO TO WRITE ABOUT THAT BUT YOU COULD MAKE IT UP FOR ALL I CARE IM SORRY IM YELLING I JUST LOVE THIS IDEA (okay I’m calm now)” | “@elyzahere My internet isn’t letting me ask you this, so I’ll have to write it out here. Hope you don’t mind. ^,^’” | “Pssst, can you whip up a little modern!sonamy for me? I’ll leave the story or mood or Anything to whatever ya like, really! :D” | “Ok! A Sonic Boom Prompt where the gang is after a fox girl villain (who just so happens to be really pretty) who holds the last crystal fragment in her clutches. After drawing straws, Sonic is forced to flirt with her. That way, Amy, who has the best sneaking skills, would be able to take back the crystal piece. Amy hears them flirting and thinks Sonic is being serious and gets her heart broken…you do the rest!” | “Boom!sonamy prompt: Sonic and Amy have a flirting competition while no one is around XD” | “OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THE SLY COOPER AU!!! I actually loved, could you do another boom! sonamy sly cooper au? If you want, you don’t have to. But yeah, thanks!!! <3” | “Can you do a boom!sonamy prompt where sonic gets really beaten badly and amy is healing him? (cough cough beauty and the beast reference coughcough) And make it really fluffy! Feels galore if the missus don’t mind ;D Thanks dear!” | “have you got any lifestyle headcanons for the main sonic cast? like, a routine they always do, something they can’t stand, a particular belief they hold? this is just for any characters you like/ make headcanons about :P not really a prompt, just wondering :)” | “hey, a bit out of your norm, but could you please write something for the chaotix? headcanon, theories, anything like that? thanks very much, lovely :)” | “Here’s a prompt : Sonic Boom : Sonic and Amy are forced to share a room (or more importantly, a bed) after the team finds a village, can you write something about how they would react to that, and how they would make it work? That would be interesting!! (and evil >:D ) KAY BYE!!!” | “I would lile some cute fluff boom!sonamy, please! Whether it be flirting, singing, dancing, cuddling, anything!! Thank you, dear!” | “Okay, okay, I’m done messing with you~ Here’s a CANON prompt! (Modern) Sonic gets blasted by a laser that took his speed away! Now, he was to walk around like a normal person until Tails finds a way to fix him. WHAT WILL HE DO?!? (Just a little funny thingy)” | “Hey can I as for a special request..? Uhm, I know we all love sonamy ,everyone’s otp as well as mine and I really do love your cute stories but uh…I’m trying to get over someone and I was wondering if you could maybe make a story where Amy moves on..? Or where they except that they can’t be together and that’s it’s okay. I know it’s not very modern but maybe boom..? You don’t have to but I hold her dear to me and wonder how she would handle a break up/ getting over someone…” | “Prompt maybe: After a lot of arguing in the gang, the group decides to sit down and say nice things about each other (most of which are really corny) and then sonic and Amy’s turn gets quite cute and yea… :)” | “How about this for a prompt: Sticks sees this new guy in the village and likes him. Only problem is, SHE’S TOTALLY FREAKING OUT CAUSE SHE LIKES SOMEONE, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO, and is generally freaked out (like her reaction to most things). So she tells Amy who tries to help. Take it away~” | “Heya! Could you do a Sonamy Boom Prompt that can be anything you want but on one condition: you have to include these three objects/things, in no particular order: 1. Enerbeams 2. Stars 3. A Distraction.” | “Prompt!(BOOM) (Since Amy is keeping this a secret, I decided to go that route) Sonic walks into Amy’s room to get some old books she asked for, when he stumbles upon a drawer full of love notes, poems even photos with red hearts drawn with marker around his face!! Of course, being the nosy hedgehog he is, he decides to read them all!! What will happen when Amy finds out? WILL she find out? How would Sonic react? What will be the concequences? MWAHAHAHA!” | “Prompt! Or two prompts! PLEASE! ANYTHING! MY SONAMY FIRE HAS BEEN REKINDLEDDDD😍😍” | “can you do a boom prompt about something in the 1920’s? like a detective thing? Sonic as the detective, amy as his client, knuckles and tails as the assistants? (and could you somehow add a hint of sonamy?) Idk thought it would be interesting. I’m sorry if this is weird XD” | “September cold: can you cheer me up? wildcard for sonic headcanons, whatever is on your beautiful mind :) thanks xxx” | “"strong amy” for her birthday? yes please! boom prompt maybe? however you want it…“ | "Can you do a boom sonamy prompt where sonic calls amy beautiful? Like he just says it and she freezes and is like "Wait what?”“ | "boom!sonamy prompt: Amy and sonic just being awkward around eachother, like their hands touch or something and they flip out? Just awkward and embarassing fluff!! Thaaaaank you!” | “Could you do a Sonamy Boom Prompt where Sonic and Amy are in a duo mission when after slightly flirting with each other, Sonics enerbeam goes hay wire! It ends up wrapping around them, forcing them to be quickly pushed together and they accidentally kiss….? (And try to mention somehow that enerbeam is controlled by actions from innermost thoughts or heart, so subconsciously, whether he knew it or not, Sonic wanted to give her a hug.😋) …did that make any sense at all?” | “Boom!Prompt, Knuckles’ backstory, where he use to be really small,and everyone kept calling him weak,then he decided to train himself,to become stronger and bigger.” | “Prompt! :(Modern) Sonic was running around at night when he noticed Amy sitting on a cliff, watching the stars. He gets confused, and nervously walks up to her. Turns out, she okay, and they end up just having a cute little conversation while laying rather close to one another (But not too close, according to Sonic XD), watching the stars! :D OOH! I just thought of something, PUT A SHOOTING STAR IN THERE TOO!X3 (P.S:Just so you know, not all of my prompts are for advice, I LOVE to read them!!:D)” | “Prompt :(Boom) While fighting Eggman, Knuckles gets separated from the team. As he finds his way home, he encounters a cute, young, and loud girl who claims that she’s lost her family. Being the hero he is, he agrees to help her. But, she’s a pest. She keeps setting off traps and gets into in danger, and she won’t shut up! Knuckles get’s irritated and yells at her. As the little girl ran off, he tried not to think about her safety, but, is Knuckles really a tough guy on the inside? Hint: NOPE!” | “Hmmm… Not sure if I want it a sonic and tails or Sonamy headcannon. But it’s where either sonic tries to ask tails about his "funny feelings” for Amy, trying to make sense of it, or just asking plain advise. OR tails finding out and confronting sonic about it (add some humor too? :D)“ | "Boom!Sonamy Headcanons (Cause they popped up in my head lol XD)” | “You may have already answered this, but what kind (if any) Sonamy moments do you think will be in Sonic Boom?” | “More Sonic boom headcannons please?” | “do you have any bonding headcanons for Knuckles and Amy in Boom? :)” | “Do you have any more Boom!Shadow headcannons?” | “Wait, question! For headcanon 49, what is Amy’s backstory?” | “So I heard that Shadow is confirmed to be in the Sonic!boom world. Got any headcannons between him and the gang?” | “Wait, you ship Tails and Sticks, right? I think you’re the one who got me shipping them :’D do you have any more headcanons about them? Because they’re ADORABLE.” | “Can you do a boom!sonamy prompt about sonic and amy raising a child? I don’t think you have done this before, have you?”

And while I was rechecking a few prompts on your blog…boy, I found the gold mine!! But I’m not sure if I already found some of them before and included it on the previous list I sent to you, and there are a few more lying around here that I am not so sure if I already submitted on the previous list…Can you please send the list back to me? Is that even possible?

If so, THANK YOU! ~ <3

----------------------

Once again, thank you for this post! But like previously stated with (x) <-- your other list, it’s a little difficult to know which ones I’ve found and which ones I haven’t.

If anyone could let me know if I haven’t reblogged any of these, me and Cutegirlmayra would be very much obliged!

Thank you once more for your contribution in saving many of @cutegirlmayra​’s amazing works! Continue to help the cause! We all want to be able to read her stuff in an easier way!

🔥Shipping

Send me 🔥 and a topic and I’ll give you my unpopular opinion

This took me a Hot Second bc I’m not sure if this would be unpopular or not but tl;dr: Shipping language needs to change.

(rant under the cut. i am so sorry anon, i have Feelings™ about this that i didn’t even know i had until i typed all this out and couldn’t stop. feel free to request like 5 million ficlets of ur fav pairings from me lmao. I’m so SORRY)

So, yeah, shipping language needs to change, Especially bc shipping’s become much more nuanced for a lot of shippers and esp since i keep running into fans using Romantic/Sexual shipping tags when they mean to ship a pair familially/platonically.

And that’s not even getting into the nuance of how tumblr™️ culture demands shippers to justify their ships if it involves anything Remotely Sketch

(ex. Abuse. Some fans ship abusive ships/ships with abusive traits for a multitude of reasons. I agree it’s important not to romanticize those traits of the ship. But it’s just as important that those kinds of ships are present bc it’s an excellent opportunity for introspection and discussion both w/in fandom and outside. Ofc if the ship makes another fan uncomfy it takes 0 seconds and costs 0 dollars for them to ask someone to tag the ship name if not simply unfollow them. and vice versa for the blogger to tag and respect another fans wishes if they want to keep that follower)

But to get back into the rom/sex vs fam/plat thing. It’s one thing that I LOVE about ao3 bc they let you differentiate by using either “/“ or “&” for those respective relationships. And I rlly wish that fic authors would keep that in mind while tagging bc I’ve seen some Bad Cross-tagging happening almost all the time. I almost wish we could go a step further and maybe include “-“ to help further differentiate btwn familial & platonic relationships. Or possibly use it to indicate platonic relationships with a possibility of becoming Romantic?

I’ve got Some Ideas about all of this obvsly. Mostly bc the way I multiship HAS to be super nuanced esp btwn all of my AUs

Murder Fam vs Magic vs Titans Dark for example? All include Rose and Raven having a significant relationship in them. Murder fam is strictly familial bc they’re legally adoptive sisters. Magic fam is platonic w/ that opportunity for romantic. Titans Dark straight up has them being Very Chill Exes. Each one is a product of circumstance and the characterization in each will hopefully keep that clear. But they’d all need their own warnings & ship tags bc of that as well, so readers know what kind of relationship to expect between the two of them.And it’s a really funny thing. Wanting to simultaneously see these characters either become romantically involved or keep sibling like traits.

Which is ANOTHER thing that annoys me. When shippers try to downplay another ship by saying “they’re like siblings!” when they have absolutely no familial stake and it just becomes a catchall for ‘i don’t want to ship this and have to have an excuse to not’.

Listen, I have a sister. When push came to shove I’d absolutely be there for her, but every other moment we’ve fought like barbarians. Even now as kind of adults we’re catty as shit.

Siblings are people that you’re forced to spend more time with than anyone else on the planet. Imagine being forced 24/7 to be with someone you cant stand, and yet also who you build up a rapport with bc you literally cant get away from them anyways?

Thats not a universal experience, but its mine and its why i HATE when people use the sibling argument when it comes to a relationship where the pair gets on like two peas in a pod otherwise. The sheer animosity that siblings inherently hold for one another is Unparalleled, and how it changes on a dime as soon as something Bad Actually Happens? Ugh, SIBLINGS.

but yeah, ship language & how we label our ships. that needs to go, and i know it seems to have evolved even over the past 7-ish years I’ve been in fandoms but like…. really hoping it continues to do so. i mean considering that OTP/BROTP even has kind of gone by the wayside (thank goodness bc i really fuckin hate those terms now that I’m a multishipper and aint got time for that nonsense but thats a WHOLE OTHER RANT) I’m sure fandom language will only continue to change as fandom continues to evolve.

A Second Guanlin Soulmate Au

Anon requested another Guanlin Soulmate au with pieces of Barista au mixed in, (I have no idea how there is still more soulmate keys left to write about) so yanno, here we go.

• Your soulmate sign was odd, different to many of the other signs,

• A possession, a necklace,

• I mean, the first worry is forgetting it right?

• Nah this thing is like a magnet - magic or something- if you lose it, it’ll appear around your neck again within the next minute,

• ( Y'all know Percy Jackson and his sword/pen? Like that voodoo),

• It’s quite a rare Soulmate sign, but you’re pleased with what you’ve got,

• Who needs quotes or music or tattoos when you have a literal thing to hold to signify your soulmate,

• The pendant that’s hangs on the inky black string is metal and cold and delicate,

• A light blue and silver moon littered with patterns and careful designs make your little sign one of the prettiest things you own,

• All swirls and linking patterns and quite beauty,

• A lot of people ask where you got it from,

• You just smile and say your soulmate made it for you,

• hA who could hand craft something so beautiful?

• Being the moon, it’s always cold, occasionally becoming slightly warmer on its own,

• Because it’s such a rare sign you don’t know it actually warms up when you get nearer to your soulmate,

• So you wonder around in your life peacefully, occasionally skimming people’s necks or chests to see if they also have a moon,

• Nope,

• But you’re in no rush, always quite relaxed and cheerful,

• So you’re in university Despite the threat of crushing student loans,

• But because you’re a student you’re actually broke,

• (but so is everyone else so at least you’re not totally alone),

• So you decide you’re going to have to find yourself a job,

• I mean you knew you where going to get one Anyway but you have a huge essay due and a hell of a lot of work from your course,

• Looks like you’re going to have to say goodbye to your social life rip,

• So you go scouting at all the cafes to see what they’re like and if they’re hiring,

• You had a job at a cafe in your old home so you’re pretty sure you could score one at uni as well,

• So you set off on a mission™

• You Jump around businesses because there’s many busy places,

• But you’re walking down this road and your necklace is warming up and you’re slightly surprised but used to its ‘random’ temperature changes,

• But then you spot it, seemingly glowing and calling your name, a cute cafe on the corner,

• But that could be because by now you’re Hella tired from walking around with a lot of course work to try to complete while scoping places out,

• You slide Through the door and glance around the cozy place and you swear you just walked into a fic (Whoops) because this place is too picture Perfect,

• The place is casual and bright and smells sweet with odd tables and chairs with soft music,

• The place looks to be half full of students meeting up or studying, the atmosphere relaxed,

• There must be a con - everything has a con,

• Like the very cute barista must be an idiot because if he isn’t you might cry and beg them to let you work for them,

• But oh shit how you’re wrong,

• You slide up to the counter to order a smoothie,

• (because although you’re apparently an adult now coffee hadn’t miraculously become something you crave),

• “Hey, what would you-”

• The barista spins round with a smile and as your eyes meet his beautiful ones you come to realise,

• Your necklace is near enough burning your damn chest and glowing,

• It’s hot as hell but it doesn’t actually hurt it just sorta tingles,

• Inner you is screaming that this is weird as hell you have burning metal on your chest why doesn’t it hurt,

• But it may look weird if you did that,

• So outter you is just like 'huh, you feeling this as well?’

• It’s actually funny because you can see the Batista’s own inner turmoil as well,

• So you take this moment of mutual panic to check your supposed soulmate out,

• A toll bean™

• That’ll be handy for when something’s on the top shelf,

• Or spotting him in a crowd,

• A face so delicately pretty and striking that you’re starting to question if Photoshop irl is a thing,

• Your eyes trail down to his chest, where a pendant sits on an oily black string, just like yours,

• Although there’s no moon, but A small and simple sun hangs from his neck, careful oranges and yellows and whites blend together seamlessly and in an eye-catching way, one that draws attention with an easy aura,

• Not an identical moon, but something that matches perfectly - You can’t have a moon without the sun, 

• You want to take it into your hands and examine it yourself,

• Except 1) that may be a creepy right now, factoring in the fact you’ve only just met this cute boy,

• 2) it is also slightly glowing and hot looking like yours, His is a brighter, burning glow, whereas your moon in more of a pastel glow,

• Except you do take it into your hands anyway because self control is a myth,

• The Sun is warm and sends tingles up to the top of your head and back down to the tips of your toes, making you feel like you’re floating,

• You feel him take your moon and you only hope he’s feeling the same rising absolute joy that’s filling your heart,

• You already want the absolute best for this stranger,

• This soulmate,

• You need to calm the hell down,

• “It’s just as pretty as you,”

• You’re about to call yourself out for being cringy AF with your first words but you decide to let yourself this once,

• Because if your necklaces are representatives of your soulmate, like you always had a suspicion about,

• Because there had been a rumor, and people had told you before you where cheerful and bright like the sun,

• ( A coincidence? I ThiNk nOt),

• He’s the moon - shyer, quieter, more aloof and graceful,

• Because he looks so, like the shining moon hovering in a black sky, providing the perfect amount of light to illuminate everything,

• Except he doesn’t have craters of course, 

• (although craters add a charm, a unique beauty),

• So yanno, you figured you might as well talk first,

• He laughs at that, eyes shaping into crescents and his ears turning shades redder,

• He moves his hands up to carefully run through your hair, which makes love explode in your heart and you’re automatically content with him being your soulmate,

• Honestly, someone playing with hair? A kink™

• You already know the years ahead are going to be filled with new experiences, ones that’ll make your heart ache and your head dizzy,

• An adventure calls in the eyes of your soulmate and you’re ready to explore the unknown,

• Which starts with you getting a job at that cafe the very same day,

• Honestly, it’s suspiciously perfect,

• But I guess everyone has a different perfect, so maybe it’s not so suspicious for you to find your perfect,

• You seem to co-exist so perfectly, you can work together in perfect harmony, knowing who needs help with what or how to complete an order with each other without so much as a word,

• And when it’s quite you share smoothies or sandwiches and chat or read or silently send each other memes which is true love,

• Or you listen to each other rant, or play stupid games or make up stories about the people that walk past,

• If you’re with the right person, nothing is boring,

• And you find out what it feels like to depend on someone with utter, unquestionable trust,

• But you also realise your whole life isn’t about soulmates,

• While spending time with Guanlin makes your heart race and your heart fill, if he’s in class you can still enjoy lunch with friends or walk cute dogs from a centre,

• It just makes the time together cherished,

• And because Guanlin is a goof, there’s never a moment that’s dull,

• A lot of lazing around in pajamas and blankets and in front of TV’s,

• (Because we all know Guanlin is 2nd lazy in wanna one aka very relatable ),

• Your necklaces are always a content warm when you’re together, a cold when you’re apart,

• And even when you can’t meet, you have your moon,

• A quite reminder that you have someone to lean on, someone to cheer you on,

• You have someone to support you until their arms give way and they can’t anymore,

• Although they’ll still try everything they can to give you their all,

• It’s a comfort, a soft glowing light for the darkness that occasionally appears,

• You know that time together doesn’t need to be jam packed with activities, and that sometimes quietly keeping each other company is love in its own way

We hit 800 followers yesterday, so tysm for that, It means a hell of a lot!

Hyung line parenting 101

@svt-seokhoon-17  I have an family au. Cheolsoo are the parents of Vernon, jeonghoon are the parents of seungkwan, wonhui are the parents of minghao and mingyu, hoshi is a single parent raising seokmin and dino. It’s the 7 oldest being the parents and youngest 6 being kids |  Omg yes (like thoes soulmate, best friend bullet point things or something different)

requested by anon: “A Lee family au (father woozi, mother jeonghan, child seungkwan)”

admin note: sorry this is late LEGIT MOST OF THIS WAS RANDOM RAMBLING AND I THINK IT’S FUNNY BUT SORRY IF IT WASN’T WHAT YOU MEANT

Cheolsoo family

their kid is currently in elementary school

tbh Joshua and Seungcheol are the proudest hype parents ever

they’re proud Hansol can find his way from the house to the bus station

or if he remembers their phone numbers

they hype everything he does

even if it’s just putting on his shoes

nothing Vernon does can be called stupid to them

except for that one time he tried eating a mud pie made from mud, clearly

and Vernon isn’t a stupid kid

no not at all

he just likes hanging out with friends and watching youtube videos more than coloring in pictures of George Washington and reading short chapter books about a magic tree house

he only colors when he knows the homework is due the next day

and then he colors outside the lines because why would you want to color inside the lines, that’s boring

he somehow always finishes his math hw though

without fail

it’s like magic

he hangs out a lot with the Lee family’s kid, Seungkwan

not because the kid does Vernon’s math hw for him or anything

they’re best friends but Vernon denies this

which sometimes hurts Seungkwan’s feelings

but then they play tag or watch some mine craft videos together

and they make up and Vernon finally admits they're best friends

and Vernon protects his best friend from the bullies on the playground

bullies being the girls who call Seungkwan ugly

Vernon will throw tanbark at them no joke

and you know he'd be that one kid that gets in trouble for putting gum in a girl's hair but she was asking for it by making fun of Seungkwan 

and he pushes Seungkwan on the swings a lot too

never complains about it 

Joshua is the parent who works from home

because his child’s education is really important and they need to have one parent home at least

according to his how to be a parent book

also in charge of the school's PTA 

so everyone knows Vernon

Joshua is always planning like fifty bake sales and a bunch of fundraisers 

also tries convincing the school to host a carnival

just so Vernon can ride the Ferris wheel

he also drags the whole family to church on Sunday

he always tries cooking dinner with an apron that says “Thank God for this chef”

but he can’t cook

at all

so Seungcheol always has to put out whatever fire is roaring in the kitchen

and then order takeout

Joshua’s one of those classy af parents sipping wine in the driveway with a book while their kid runs past screaming

“You’re doing great sweetie, don’t kill the neighbor’s cat like last time.” without even looking up

really loves his family though

reads bedtime stories to both Seungcheol and Vernon even though Vernon insists he stop

always packing Vernon’s lunch in a little brown paper bag with a heart drawn on it

which some people tease Vernon for

but he will fight them if they mess with it

and he secretly likes how much his parents care for him in the randomest ways

they have a pool in the backyard

so they’re always throwing neighborhood parties

Seungcheol can actually manage BBQ’s pretty well

so he makes stuff like hamburgers, hot dogs for Vernon and Joshua

he works downtown

pretty nice office space with a nice view

normal eight-hour work day type deal

never comes home and complains though

and always that parent dragging their kid out on the lawn to run through the sprinklers in summer

and tends to set things on fire with sparklers

rest in peace that poor rose bush

the one to mow the lawn in something embarrassing like just underwear

with Joshua covering Vernon's eyes and yelling for him to put a shirt on there are children what are you doing you need Jisoos

Seungcheol also the one to go to the hardware store for a lightbulb and ends up getting the idea to build a treehouse

and makes Vernon help him

even though it ends up being Joshua putting all the planks together and Seungcheol meekly hammering them together

they often go on family vacations too

so they don’t have a pet

it probably wouldn’t survive

camping often because nature

though secretly they all bring like ten portable battery chargers each and use data to check SNS

they all drive to the beach and take lots of family photos

photos end up on the fireplace mantel

everyone who sees the pictures can't deny how cute this family is

Vernon and Seungcheol teaming up to play a prank on Joshua, with whip cream

but they get caught

and end up being given a long lecture

Seungcheol nodding his head pretending to listen

Vernon mimicking Joshua

but mess with Vernon, or any of the family

and even Joshua can turn savage

next day your car is covered in soap or post-its

and you bring it up at the home owners' association meeting

Cheolsoo will high five each other and smile innocently

like "we have no idea who could have done that"

fights are nonexistent

they all think alike too much

they all love each other

they’re family

Jeonghoon family

tbh if savagery were parents

Jeonghan always bringing in the latest gossip from the other neighborhood parents

ranting on and on to Jihoon about how one person didn’t trim their lawn

or how their cat keeps pooping in the petunias

like how dare they

and Jihoon just nods

until Jeonghan brings up the neighbors that party too loudly

then Jihoon joins Jeonghan’s roasting fest

as they both criticize their neighbor’s music taste

“why even throw a party at all?”

“I’d rather die.”

they're always plotting their revenge on some random kid or neighbor

they tolerate the Cheolsoo family

though they low key like being neighbors because they can watch Seungkwan for them whenever he hangs out with Hansol

and then they can chill and do whatever they want

and the Cheolsoo family has lit pool parties

a bit suspicious of Vernon, but they love Vernon too

low key savage to their own kid too

“do whatever”

but they always secretly worry

and Seungkwan can tell this from their questions

“How’d you do on the spelling test? Not that we care it’s whatever.”

Seungkwan is a really smart kid

though they sometimes think he might be a pushover

so they try toughing Seungkwan up

going camping like the Choi's

doesn't go exactly as planned

too many mosquitos

not enough high speed internet

so the whole trying to toughen up their kid

doesn’t go so well

Seungkwan could end up crying

so they give up and give the kid ice cream

parenting experts clearly

Jihoon has an at home-studio

works on stuff and lets Seungkwan run around

might complain about annoying Seungkwan is

but let's Seungkwan do whatever he wants

the kid running around and testing all the sound equipment

and listening to the music his dad is composing

being brutally honest and savage

because he learned rom the best

"you sure you want to put that key change there?"

"get out"

Jeonghan just stays home and watches reality tv shows

“Seungkwan, I swear if you keep doing that kid’s math hw… actually go ahead, we like that family.”

and Seungkwan will sit and watch too

and criticize the show's plot points

before Jeonghan tells his kid to be quiet

but Jeonghoon love Seungkwan a lot

Seungkwan is always bring them his pictures, drawings, paintings, hw, tests, etc.

and they don’t say much

and so you'd think they don't acknowledge the kid

but you're wrong

all the drawings are hung up somewhere

the bathroom

the fridge

on the garage door

everywhere

and the tests always end up taped to the window with the perfect scores facing outside

and they’re always bragging about Seungkwan to their friends

“Yea my kid is a genius, I bet he could do algebra better than your kid” even though Seungkwan’s only in elementary school and doesn’t know algebra

Seungkwan’s always leads for the chorus shows and school productions

no one even fights him for it

the teachers just know

and he always drags Vernon into the shows

and on opening night Jeonghan and Jihoon are sitting front row center

with a huge af sign with Seungkwan’s name on it

not even caring they’re blocking other parents

proudest parents in the world that would never admit that nonsense

and they’ll tell you no recording because respect the school's rules

but you know secretly they’re recording the whole thing on their phones too

to send to friends and family like they do every year

"The Lee Family would like to say Season's Greetings"

and buy Seungkwan a flower bouquet afterwards

and all the ice cream the kid wants

maybe going with the Choi family

Jeonghan always buying takeout and putting it on fancy dishes to pretend he cooked it

fools Jihoon but not Seungkwan

who's learning to be more savage each day from his parents

"If I wanted takeout, I could just eat next door."

also Jeonghan's the parent to smear the frosting on store-bought cupcakes to make it look home-made

"They'll never notice"

Jihoon always the one doing the cleanup, washing dishes, mowing the lawn, changing lightbulbs (despite being short)

with Jeonghan telling him every five minutes “good job” without looking up from his drama series

the parents that prank all their neighborhood friends

"Quick we need to TP the house before they call the cops!"

Seungkwan's just shaking his head being dragged into it like

"Again?!?!?"

"They forgot to bring in their garbage cans, this is deserving."

end up all running away in the dark

and hiding in bushes

and laughing together as a family

before they start getting a bunch of insect bites from the bush

and rush home to shower and help each other with the anti-itch cream

they all love each other

they're family

Wonhui family

appear as the family that’s most got their ish together

with Wonwoo being a smart professor with a library at home

and Jun with his artistic performance arts stuff at the local theater all the time

gives lessons to Seungkwan for shows

which Jeonghoon is ok with because it's free

and Wonwoo tutoring Vernon

pretty calm and quiet parents at social events

except if they're the ones hosting

then ish can get crazy

don't play charades at the Jeon household

tbh their kids are always trying to ship the other to Canada or somewhere

“Hey dad I need a box.”

“How big?”

“Mingyu, how tall are you?”

“I need a box as big as Mingyu.”

“HELP MINGHAO IS TRYING TO SHOVE ME IN A BOX.”

“Minghao stop trying to ship your brother to Canada, you can’t afford the shipping fee anyway!”

Wonwoo always running around trying to stop the kids from fighting

Jun just casually in a corner, sipping wine and staring at the chaos

not even trying to help

just shakes his head and continues whatever he's doing

and Mingyu is the actual adult of the family

like yes his parents pay the bills

but they can't cook

he and Minghao may be in middle school

and Jun and Wonwoo may be the parents

but he’s always the one to cook and change light bulbs and make everyone else's lunch

wearing an apron too big for a middle schooler

but he's tall

Minghao denies being his sibling at schoool

even though Mingu is older

Minghao's like "Mingyu who?"

Mingyu always trailing after Minghao to annoy him but also to get attention from him

Mingyu also teasing Minghao for being taller than him

and people tend to call them 2Ming for short

which they hate

don't ever

unless you want a fight

separate friend groups at school but always sit together for lunch on fridays

and although they often argue

pray for Wonwoo and Jun if they decide to team up for a prank

let's just say 2Ming is still grounded after the last "incident"

middle school = angsty teens

but Minghao and Mingyu are surprisingly well behaved

sometimes

they both have a lot of extracurriculars  

hecka busy schedule this family

never enough time for anything

Jun's performances at night

Wonwoo's lectures in the morning

martial arts class for Minghao

home economics class for Mingyu

Minghao always being done with the rest of his family

"How am I related to all of you?"

secretly loves his crazy family though

especially when Mingyu sticks up for him when people say he's a crazy nunchuck wielding ninja

which he is

they both do really well in school though

cuz smart parents

Mingyu always reminding everyone about important dates and appointments

being the mature parent one minute

and acting like a giant puppy the next

too busy for family vacations

so they just go out to fancy restaurants to eat every weekend

the one family to sing along to songs together in the car

but if the kids see someone from school

"I swear I don't know them, my family actually lives in Antarctica."

don't prank other neighbors either

mostly because they argue how extreme it should be

so generally when the Lee family strikes

they do four separate things

which is chaotic

but functional enough

Wonwoo always the one trying to calm everyone and be logical

Jun not helping whatsoever watching everyone struggle

Mingyu trying to fix everything by peaceful terms

and Minghao wanting chaotic means

they're a mess, but

they all love each other

they're family 

Kwon family

Seokmin is in middle school with Mingyu and Minghao

often hangs out with them

though he can't decide which friend group

so he floats from one to the other

like's hanging out with Chan too

but Chan is still in elementary school

a year younger than Seungkwan and Hansol

Soonyoung doing that hard carry as the single parent

dance classes for the whole family though

it's always lit at their birthday parties

choreos always on point

you know they rehearsed for that wedding they attended

"we have to nail the choreo to wow all the grandparents"

tbh also has a who's the adult crisis like the Wonhui family

with Chan having to scold Soonyoung for forgetting to pick him and Seokmin up

and Seokmin just being a huge happy fluffball

like idk what's going on but I love you all

Seokmin likes singing in chorus

so ends up seeing the elementary school choral director

and volunteering to teach the little ones

like Vernon and Seungkwan

and drags his dongsaeng Chan along

likes planning out all the costumes for shows too

and gets his dad to teach them choreos

and to just choreo the whole show

and Chan's just trying to hide the fact he's related to two huge dorks

but he's a dork too

and just gives up

he's a smart kid

like a genius

he's skipped a grade already

and can sometimes help Seokmin with his hw

which surprises Soonyoung who doesn't know what to do

but give his unending support to both his children

Soonyoung always asking the other parents for advice

but tbh do any of them know anything about parenting at this point

lots of full street block parties

Soonyoung is just glad to be included

his kids have friends within the neighborhood which is nice

probably the only family able to have a pet and still function

though Chan is like "Why get a pet, isn't that what Dokyeom-hyung is for?"

which gets him in trouble with soonyoung

and he apologizes

Seokshine is still smiley

they get a puppy

and that puppy leads them to get fishes too

and another puppy

and that's a lot

so Chan takes care of the fishes

and Soonyoung and Seokmin walk the puppies

Chan also does most of the cleaning

and god forbid there's a SpIdER 

because none of them will be able to catch it

except maybe Chan

and maybe Soonyoung, if he learns how to use a flamethrower safely

Seokmin always relying on Soonyoung

don't mess with Soonyoung's kid unless you want a hurricane to hit you

Chan really relies on Soonyoung too

since he's kind of quiet at school

he'd never admit it

but Soonyoung's stupid dad jokes and silly dances make him laugh

Soonyoung would legit fight a dragon for his kids

they don't travel often

but when they do they always have crazy stories to tell when they come back

like the trip to the beach

where Chan fell into a tide pool

and Seokmin fell in after him

and Soonyoung slipped trying to save them

so they all ended up in a tiny tide pool

with fish swimming between them and starfish surrounding them

would probably dance as a family for money at a birthday party

and they're pretty good too

they all love each other

they're family

MASTERLIST

[eversall]

I saw this headcannon and was really hoping you'd write a fic? simon gets hit with a curse that makes everyone fall in love with him except for jace, simon thinks its because jace’s disregard for him is so strong not even MAGIC can effect it but really its because jace’s regular life involves him keeping his feelings for simon under control so this is just another day for him.

based off of @neonlightwood‘s hc!! thank you anon for taking my waffling desire to write one of those ideas and pretty much motivating me to DO IT

love by any other name || jace/simon, 4k+, love spell au || read on ao3

“I see Jace wasn’t hit.” Magnus says, his tone light even as he waves a hand and freezes Clary in mid-lunge towards Simon. He waves a hand over Alec and Izzy and they become similarly frozen; Simon nearly cries in relief.

“Yeah, no.” Jace says, curiously moving to poke at Alec’s outstretched, still hand, and then pouting as Simon slaps his hand away. “It hit me too, but since I - “ He freezes mid-pout, his eyes going comically wide, and then he turns away, facing Magnus and running a hand through his hair. “I just wasn’t affected.” He finishes, his voice curiously blank.

What? How could Jace not have been affected if he was directly hit by it? It’s a love spell, it should automatically make everyone fall in love with Simon, unless -

The first thing Simonnotices when he gets back to the Institute after being stuck in a meeting withthe Pennsylvania vampires is the unnaturally strong smell of flowers. He pausesby the front doors as his senses are suddenly overwhelmed with - rose, it seemslike. Did someone spill cologne or something? 

He gets his answerwhen he walks into his room and sees that it’s covered in roses. In fact, there’s no room towalk except a tiny path from the door to his bed, the rest of the placeengulfed by roses of every shape, size, and color. Simon’s seen a lot of weirdshit over the past few months as a Daylighter, but this is absolutelyridiculous. 

He doesn’t even like roses, what the fuck. 

He backs slowly out of his room and shuts thedoor, counts to ten, and opens it again. Nope, the roses are still there. He’sbeginning to panic. 

“Clary!” He hisses, spinning on his heel withthe intention of tracking her down so she can help him figure out what’s goingon. Instead, he runs headfirst into Izzy, who smiles broadly at him. 

“Well hello, Simon.” She purrs. She sashays forward - there’s really noother word for it - and pouts prettily at him. “Didn’t you see mysurprise?” 

“Hey, Izzy,” Simonsays, laughing nervously, “I, uh, yeah, I saw the roses! Haha, good…joke…”He trails off weakly as she runs a perfectly manicured nail down his arm, hertouch light and very alarmingly sensual. 

“Did you like it?” Izzyasks, her eyes darkening as she licks her lips and presses forward evencloser. “I just want to make you happy, you know.” 

And no. Simon can write off most of the other stuffas a joke, but the soft sincerity in Izzy’s voice is usually only reserved forher girlfriend,who is - who is stomping down the hallway right now, her eyes glittering withanger. Simon gulps and uses his speed to put some distance between himself andIzzy. 

“Listen, Clary,” hebegins, his hands held up in surrender as Clary draws closer, “I’m not tryingto - “

“I cannot believe you!” She screams angrily - at Izzy.Simon frowns uncomfortable. “Simon is mine!” 

What. 

“No he isn’t.” Izzyhisses back, her hands on her hips as she glares Clary down. Claryactually shoves Izzy at that,and Simon’s immediately between the two of them, pushing them apart. 

“OKAY.” He announces loudly. “Let’s calmdown and think about this.” 

“There’s nothing to think about.” Clarydeclares, still glaring at Izzy. “I’m in love with you, and she’ssabotaging our relationship.” 

“Our what.” Simon says flatly, even as Izzy snapsback, “He’s been there, done that. He wants me now, because I love him better.” Simonhas barely any time toprocess both these horrifying revelations before he hears the sound of someoneelse coming down the hallway, and he looks up to see Alec striding up towardsthem. 

“Oh thank God.” Heslumps in relief, letting go of the girls and taking a stepforward. “Alec, I never thought I’d say this but I am so glad to see you.” 

“Really?” Alec asks as he draws near, hisvoice quiet and - off. Something about it is definitely off. Simon stops and staresas, slowly, ever so slowly - 

Alec smiles at him. 

It’s slow, and shy,but definitely aimed at Simon, and oh God, what is happening here? Alec doesn’t smileat him. Alec tosses out things that are borderline hateful, and barelytolerates Simon most of the time; they work okay when they’re on patrol, butpersonality-wise Alec genuinely finds Simon exhausting. (And not the kind ofexhausting Jace seems to find Simon, the kind where Jace half-smiles ateverything Simon says and keeps coming back to hang out with him.)

“I’m glad to see you too.” Alec continues, hiseyes earnest as he stares at Simon. Simon backs away before he remembers thatClary and Izzy are behind him, and he lets out an embarrassing whimper as hespins in a slow circle, trapped by three people smiling at him with varyinglevels of intensity.

“Oh please,” Izzy snorts, “Alec’s hardlydeserving of you. You need someone who loves you for you.” 

“Yeah.” Clary says.“Which is why you should be with me, because I’ve loved you since we were six.” 

“He need someone who understands him.” Alecargues in response.  

At some other time, maybe, this would befunny, but it’s starting to genuinely freak Simon out. Seeing his friends actcompletely unlike themselves is messing with his mind and making him feeltrapped here, the walls closing in as everything familiar is pulled out fromunder him. He desperately tries to edge out of the tiny circle they’ve created,but the three of them are clamoring for his attention. 

“I gotta go,” he says, physically flinchingwhen Alec reaches out, presumably to touch him, “no, please, don’t- “

“Simon?” a voice callsout, strong and steady, and Simon almost whimpers with relief as he turns tothe source. Jace. Jace, who is comingdown the hallway with his usual half-smug look firmly in place, his eyescurious as he takes in the scene. Simon ducks under Alec’s arm and races down the hall, ignoring the poundingfeet as the other three follow him, skidding to a stop in front of Jace anddesperately shaking him. 

“Quick!” Simon says. “Are you suddenly inlove with me?” 

“No.” Jace spits out, his eyes wide, the answercoming so fast it sends a tiny pang of hurt through Simon’s chest. It’s -he’s accepted the fact thatJace doesn’t like him that way, but still. Every once in a while he’s remindedof the fact again and it hurts all over again, a quiet, thick layer ofheartbreak that never quite goes away. 

Whatever. Now isn’t the time to dwell onit. 

“Great.” Simon says,manhandling a bemused Jace in front of him as a human shield as Clary, Izzy,and Alec push and shove at each other. “Because they are, and generally I’d think something likethat was funny but it’s scary as fuck and I really just want everything to goback to normal it’s freaking me out Jace - “

“Slow down.” Jace sayslowly, one hand going to the knife strapped to his thigh holster and the otherheld out in front of Simon, an extra barrier between Simon and his crazedfriends. Simon nearly cries in relief - Jace has immediately dropped intoserious Shadowhunter mode, Jace is taking him seriously and has his eyes trained on the otherthree. He’s subtly shifted so his body’s shielding Simon even further, anddespite everything - Simon feels safe, with Jace there. 

“I don’t know how thisstarted.” Simon confesses, a sudden tremor in his voice as he takes in the uglylook on Alec’s face as he glares at Jace. It’s wrong. 

“I think I do.” Jace says slowly. “Ishould have figured. We were going through Central Park and there was a warlockwho was practicing his spells. He was young, and he didn’t have amentor.” 

“All of you?” Simon asks, reaching out a handand tangling his fingers in the back of Jace’s shirt as something to anchorhimself with as he keeps eyes trained in front too. Alec doesn’t have his bow,but Izzy’s drawing a blade out of her boot and Clary’s removing her stele fromher pocket. He’s not sure what’s happening, but he’s pretty sure that it’s notgoing to be good. The arguing hasn’t stopped - Izzy and Clary are still tradingbarbs - but Alec’s eyeing them sharply, his stance predatory. It’s easy toforget that Alec’s head of the Institute not only because of his diplomaticskills, but because he’s second only to Jace in his skills. 

“All four of us.” Jace confirms. “Hefreaked out and put a little too much power into a spell he lobbed atus.” 

“Okay.” Simon says, slowly sliding his handdown Jace’s back. “Don’t freak out, I’m getting your phone.” He addsquietly as Jace’s body stiffens at the contact. In any other situation, Simonwould never have been so forward, but he needs Jace’s phone since he left hisin his room. 

“I’m not freaking out.” Jace mutter sullenly,and Simon smiles slightly at that, at the normalcy of Jace being grumpy. “I’ve beenpressing against my parabatai bond with Alec. It feels like something’scovering it, stifling it, but - I think I can get through long enough to gethim to back off.” 

“I’m going to call Magnus.” Simon says softly,his fingers creeping across the waistband of Jace’s jeans until he feels thesolid outline of a phone and pulls it out. At the same moment, Alec leapsforward, slamming into Jace and sending SImon scrambling back.

Jace grunts with the force of the shove andstaggers sideways, his expression unsure as he clenches his hands and ducks outof the way of Alec’s swings. Clary and Izzy seem content to continue circling,slowly pacing forward, and Simon scrambles to unlock Jace’s phone. 

“Passcode!” Simon hisses, and Jace sighsminutely. 

“011216!” He callsout, catching Alec’s punch and pushing him back with the force ofit. “Alec, stop, rememberyour boyfriend.”Alec doesn’t respond, and instead snarls, a terrifying expression, and Simon gulps as he holdsthe phone up to his ear.

“Jace, be careful!” He cries out as Izzy takes her own stabat him, her blade whistling sharply through the air. Jace twists and steps intoher throw, deftly maneuvering her blade out of her hand and sending it thuddinginto the wall with a flick of his wrist. “Oh God - Magnus!” He shouts with relief,hovering uncertainly at the edge of Jace’s fight as the dial tone cuts off andthe line connects. 

“You’re…not Jace.” Magnus’ says, surprised,and Simon groans. 

“It’s Simon, lovespell, everyone’s under it, even Alec.” He fires off rapidly, his eyes trackingJace’s movements, the way the blonde Shadowhunter has his teeth gritted, a beadof sweat rolling down his temple. He looks strained, fighting through theparabatai bond while still holding his own in the fight. “Come quickly, Jace is the only one who’s sane - “

“I’ll be there.” Magnus says briskly, and theline cuts. Simon shouts as Izzy’s heel nearly slams into Jace’s skull, and hestumbles forward into the fight, putting himself between Jace and the others.

“Nope, nope, nope, no murder today!” Simonsays, panicking as Jace slumps forward and rests his forehead againstSimon’s. 

“The bond - it’s so - feels like slamming myhead against a brick wall.” Jace mutters against Simon’s back. They’re in astrange role reversal from just five minutes ago, with Simon standing as ahuman shield in front of Jace. 

“Simon, come on.” Clary cajoles. “It’llbe just us, Simon and Clary, like always - “

“What can Fray give you that I can’t?” Alec demandsbrusquely, and Simon blinks. 

“How you wooed Magnus, I’ll never understand.”He whispers under his breath, and despite the severity of the situation hehears Jace snort from behind him, finally straightening up. They hear theunmistakable noise of a portal  then, and turn to see Magnus step out nearthe end of the hallway and stop, his mouth half-open. 

“What on earth?” He exclaims, and then snapshis fingers, blinking when nothing happens. “Hm. Powerful warlock spell,but nothing we can’t solve.” 

“He’s mine,” Izzy snarls at Magnus, “so backoff.” 

“Rest assured,” Magnus says dryly, “he isnowhere near who I want.” 

“Great, okay, let’ssolve this now.” Simon bemoans, andMagnus glances over at the two of them, a curious expression crossing hisface. 

“I see Jace wasn’t hit.” He says, his tonelight even as he waves a hand and freezes Clary in mid-lunge towards Simon. He wavesa hand over Alec and Izzy and they become similarly frozen; Simon nearly criesin relief. 

“Yeah, no.” Jace says, curiously moving topoke at Alec’s outstretched, still hand, and then pouting as Simon slaps hishand away. “It hit me too, but since I - “ He freezes mid-pout, hiseyes going comically wide, and then he turns away, facing Magnus and running ahand through his hair. “I just wasn’t affected.” He finishes, his voicecuriously blank. 

What? How couldJace not havebeen affected if he was directly hit by it? It’s a love spell, it shouldautomatically make everyone fall in love with Simon, unless - 

Unless, of course, there’s a feeling thatoutweighs even the love. Hate. Jace hates him, more than he apparently letson. 

Simon reels back,feeling like he’s been slapped, his heart shattering into pieces on the floor.He thought he and Jace were friends, at least; he’d long since accepted that Jacewould never look twice at him in the way he’d like to be looked at but friendship, he would have taken the friendship, because it’s one of the most preciousfucking things in his life, but no - of course Simon Lewis doesn’t get thateither, of course he’s fucked that up too, of course he’s managed to drive away yet anotherperson he cares about with his obnoxious personality, an endless cycle ofloving and losing - 

“Simon?” Jace asks, his voice concerned asSimon goes eerily, supernaturally still, his mind falling apart and reformingin true Simon Lewis fashion. He can go on. He can do this. He’s done it before,and he’ll do it again.

“Fine.” Simon says shortly, hating the wayJace’s eyes are worried as he takes in Simon’s blank expression. Jace doesn’thave any right to pretend he’s worried about anything other than his siblingsunder some spell. 

“Right.” Magnus says, staring between the twoof them. “Lovely. I’m going to portal us all to my loft, if you don’tmind.” Simon nods his assent, and Jace grunts in affirmation, his eyes stilllocked on Simon’s with a burning unfamiliarity. Simon averts his eyes, insteadwatching Magnus create a portal and send the still frozen bodies of Clary,Izzy, and Alec through, then stepping through and waving a hand at Simon andJace to follow. 

They step through, andSimon’s struck for a second with the familiar nausea, something’s he’s still not gotten used to. He staggers forwardas he lands in the loft, his stomach dry-heaving and a brief flash of paingoing through his body; Jace, who landed much more smoothly, catches him in hisarms. 

Simon blinks as Jacehauls him upright, caught in a cage between Jace’s impressive biceps. Muscles! his brain helpfully screams at him, while hisheart is stuck somewhere between swooning over Jace’s eyes and Jace’shalf-smile as he takes in Simon. 

Hates me, Simon remindshimself forcefully, stepping out of Jace’s arms and biting his lip. 

“Thanks.” He sayssoftly, and for a second he swears it’s just them as Jace smiles for real,genuine and soft. Simon hates it, hates how much he loves that smile and craves it, even with definitive proof that Jacedoesn’t like him. At all. 

“Still haven’t gottenthe hang of it, Lewis?” Jace asks, and Simon huffs out a laugh. This is familiar. This he can deal with. 

“Still haven’t learned how to drive?” Simonshoots back, and Jace grimaces. 

“Fair.” He allows as Magnus reappears, hishands uncorking a bottle of green powder. 

“This should help.” He says cheerfully, wavinghis hand over the others and unfreezing them. They immediately spin in acircle, taking in their change of surroundings with a confused expression ontheir face. 

“This is different.” Clary says, even as Simonducks behind Magnus’ kitchen counter. He glares at Jace, who is still in hisline of sight and snickering at Simon’s desperate attempt tohide. “Where’s Simon?” She continues. 

“I’ve composed a poem for him.” Izzyannounces. It seems like they only turn to violence when Simon is actuallythere, and he sighs in relief and makes himself comfortable on the floor.“Where is he? Poetry is another one of those things, like cooking, that I’mgood at - “

“No.” Jace says delightedly. “Pleaseshare, Iz.” 

“No. And that is my cue to stop this.” Magnus hastilysays. There’s a muted green hue that covers the apartment then, and the sharp,smoky smell of magic, and then silence. Simon holds his breath, hoping - 

“Oh no.” Alec groans. “Please tell me I’mdreaming.” 

“I’m afraid not,darling.” Magnus says apologetically, and Simon lets out a whoop and popsup from behind the counter, taking in his restored, sane friends. 

“Finally!” He crows, and Clary looks over athim, her expression bemused, arching an eyebrow. 

“Did I…seriously attack you, Izzy?” Sheasks, and Izzy grimaces, looking at Jace. 

“We all attacked Jace.” She says, staring ather brother. “I’m so sorry - “

“It’s fine.” Jace says, waving her apologiesoff. “You were all under a spell.” 

“I’ve never felt anything like that.” Alecsays, his expression bewildered. “That’s not what being in love feels like. Itwas so…desperate, and bittersweet.” 

“I felt as though I had already lost Simon,”Clary agrees, frowning, “which doesn’t make sense because I was still trying towin him over.” Simon frowns as he leans against the counter, looking at all ofthem. 

“Maybe the warlock just didn’t know what lovewas.” He offers, and Jace shrugs. 

“Or it was just a poorly executed spell, withonly raw power.” He points out, looking at SImon, and Simon nods. 

“Oh, no.” Magnus says, making his way to hisarmchair and reclining lazily in it. “Far from it. It was perfectly executed.”His voice is dramatic, and Alec groans. 

“Mags, really?” He asks, his voice coloring indisbelief. “You’re up to something.”

“Alexander, I cannot believe you’d accuse meof such a thing.” Magnus says with as much dignity as he can muster as, hislips twitching despite his efforts. He snaps his fingers and summons himself amartini, looking in turn at all of them, like he’s gearing up to tell astory. 

“Well don’t keep us in suspense.” Izzy says,amused, as she perches on the ottoman. “Share with the class, Magnus.” 

“It wasn’t a love spell.” Magnus announces, lazily stirring themartini with the tip of his pinky, sparks dancing along the rim for addedflair. “It was an amplification spell. The warlock took what someonealready felt for Simon, and directly poured all that emotion into all of you.Emotions are meant to grow, and change; you adapt with them. Getting all ofthem dumped on you all at once - “

“ - can lead to catastrophic decisions likebuying out a rose shop.” Izzy finishes, laughing. Clary snorts. 

“Who feels so stronglyabout Simon?” she muses, then looks at Simon quickly. “No offense - not ina rude way - but we all love you in a normal way, I think. The emotions I felt - that wassad. Pining, even, like - “She cuts herself off and inhales sharply, understanding settling over herfeatures. “Oh”

“Oh what?” Izzy asks.

“Jace,” Clary says slowly, “why weren’tyou affected?” Jace stiffens, his face going blank, and Simon looks on inconfusion. 

“It just didn’t.” He says, and Simonshrugs. 

“Jace doesn’t like me,like, at all.” He tries to saylightly, his voice coming out choked up instead. “It’s hard to emulatestrong feelings when there’s like stronger feeling of annoyance covering it, Ithink - “

“What?” Jace askssharply, swinging around to face him, and Simon blinks in the face of the angerin Jace’s voice. “That’s whatyou think? That I wasn’t affected because I don’t like you?” 

“I - “ Simon begins, unsure of what tosay, but Jace cuts him off with a bitter, dark laugh. 

“Fuck, no.” He says,shaking his head and continuing to laugh brokenly. “I don’t like you, I’m in love with you. That - that pathetic, bittersweet pining everyonefelt was mine becauseI’ve been in love with you for so long I don’t remember how not to be.”

For the second time that day, Simon’s heart shatters- but this time it’s into something hopeful and unbelievable, a little flutterof possibility Simon had thought he’d lost long ago suddenly resurfacing andhitting him with a wave of emotion. An unfamiliar nervousness takes upresidence in his stomach, his mind slowly catching up to his heart as heprocesses what’s happening. 

But Jace turns and leaves before Simoncan do anything, frozen as he is. Simon watches him stride away, his mouthparting in surprise, before Alec stomps over and socks him in the shoulder asthe door shuts behind Jace. 

“What are you still standing here for?” Alecgrowls, and Simon stares at him, uncomprehending. 

“Is this happening?” He mutters, mostly tohimself, but it’s Magnus that answers, leaning forward and lookingserious. 

“That boy is so used to being in love with youthat the spell couldn’t change a single thing about his emotions. He wasalready too deep.” Magnus says, holding Simon’s gaze. “I’m guessing youknow the feeling.”

And how can Simonargue with that? Because he knows. He does. He always has, when it comes toJace Wayland. 

“Okay,” Simon croaks out, nodding andstraightening up, “okay.”

“Good luck!” Izzy calls out to him, and henods distractedly, using his speed to run out of the loft and down the stairs,bursting out of the front doors into the cool night air - and running straightinto Jace at the base of the front steps, sending them both tumbling to theground. 

“Fuck!” Jace grunts, landing on the ground andbearing the brunt of the fall. “Simon?”

Simon looks down athim, really looking.He takes in Jace’s blond hair, fanning out around him like a blonde halo; histired blue-brown eyes, an indescribable sadness in them that’s been there sinceSimon met him - probably for longer than that - and his absurdly long lashes;the firm press of muscles under Simon’s body, his thighs thick between Simon’sown legs; the graze of stubble against the tips of Simon fingers where he’sclutching Jace’s collar, staring down at him in a daze - 

“You need to shave,” Simonblurts out, his heart in his throat as Jace’s brow furrows inconfusion, “and also, I love you. Like, I’m in love with you, the whole nine yards, I -am so gone for you, honestly.” 

“I.” Jace looksshocked, his mouth opening and closing, his gaze vulnerable and a littledisbelieving. “I shaved yesterday?”

“Okay.” Simon says,his head still spinning. “You – yeah. Okay.”

“Okay.” Jace agrees,his hands moving to cradle Simon’s face, and suddenly they’re kissing, stillsprawled on the ground. Jace surges up against him and Simon presses down, lipssliding together urgently as something unlocks in both of them; there’s a moanlost in the kiss, a breathless whimper swallowed down, tongues slipping in andmapping mouths. Simon doesn’t know where he ends and where Jace begins and hedoesn’t want to find out – the kiss is desperate and thick with pent-upemotion, a promise to make up for lost time and a plea to make the most of thetime they do have. Because it’s anuncertain future for both of them, so while he can he’s going to clutch at Jace’swarm skin like a lifeline and memorize the feeling of Jace’s body under his.

Maybe not on thesidewalk, though. That part is getting a little inconvenient – until Jaceslowly manouevers them upright, not breaking the kiss as Simon leans back, nowstraddling Jace. Then, in a move straightout of every harlequin romance novel he’s ever seen in bookstores, Jace’shands slip down to grip his thighs and he hoists Simon up, pushing himself offof the balls of his feet and smoothly getting them both upright.

“I could get used tothis.” Simon says, grinning in delight as Jace effortlessly carries him to thestaircase railing and perches him on it.

“Mm, well, don’t.” Jace smirks, ducking down andnuzzling Simon’s nose. “You’re theone with the vampire strength, you can pick me up next time.”

“This is something you’reinto?” Simon asks interestedly as a light flush creeps over Jace’s cheeks.

“Shut up.” Jacegrumbles, and Simon rolls his eyes and presses a kiss to the underside of Jace’sjaw, instead. He’s about to kiss him properly, his hands tugging at Jace’shair, when –

“Ah. Lovely, but noton my front steps.” Magnus says, opening the door. Simon makes a surprisednoise and jerks backward, forgetting that he’s perched precariously on the thinrailing, and nearly falls over. Jace’s arms tighten around him and haul himback up, and he’s laughing even as Simon balances himself and then socks Jace’sshoulder. “I see nothing has changed.” Magnus continues, dryly.

“Wonderful.” Alec’svoice sounds from behind Magnus. “I mean, I only had to go through the most embarrassingmoments of my life to get there, but it’s all great.”

“Hey.” Jace frowns. “You went through an entire marriage beforekissing Magnus, give me a break.”

“Clearly,” Izzy says,making her way past Magnus and Alec with Clary in tow, “we both got togetherwith far less drama, proving once again that lesbians really do it better inevery way.”

“I love girls.” Claryagrees, sighing dreamily, and Simon grins.

“Gay.” He mockwhispers to Clary as he hops off the railing and tugs on Jace’s hand. “Come on,let’s leave Alec to stew in the horror of being madly, desperately in lovewith me and go back and figure out what to do with all the roses.”

“The roses.” Izzygroans, pinching the bridge of her nose. “I’m definitely broke from that, youguys.” Clary hums thoughtfully and begins listing suggestions for the flowers,but Simon doesn’t hear her because Jace nudges Simon’s shoulder.

“Simon.” Jace saysquietly, leaning in. “For the record. Being in love with you, it’s – pretty great.”

“Being madly, desperately, in love with me?” Simon whispers back, snickering, buthe’s surprised by Jace’s soft smile as he squeezes Simon’s hand.

“Being madly,desperately in love with you, yeah.” He confirms, and Simon is suddenly hitwith the feeling that this, this iswhat they mean by a love worth fighting for.

(Izzy and Clary end uppressing all one hundred roses, and they show up as decorations for Simon andJace’s wedding, four years later.)
