#what an awkward end im sorry aszxdcfrtghj

[titsthedamnseason]

thule!blackstairs headcanons?

yes yes!! okay i got lots of requests for these so i have a lot of options and for you i present: the au in which emma and julian were never endarkened

okay so they left ny just in time before the endarkened army arrived and were able to escape with all of the blackthorns

things went pretty much the same except this time instead of livvy taking charge it was jules and emma

they made their way to la but still had nowhere to go so they stayed in abandoned buildings and such

they still faced threats like demons just like livvy did in canon but with julian and emma they were a bit more equipped to fight them off

everyone survived in time to be saved by cameron and taken to rebel hq!!

dont yell at me for being unrealistic i love them all too much to kill them i want them to be happy

before getting rescued, though, julian and emma def def def used to like,,sneak into dark alleys and the like to make out and the poor blackthorn children are just like ‘is this really the time you guys smh we’re like five feet away from you’

they are firm believers of seizing the moment so they dont really care

when they get to the old hotel the blackthorns basically get their own hallway since there are so many of them

julian and emma take separate rooms first, at opposite ends so that the kids are in between them should anything happen but once they get older they just kind of converge to one room unofficially 

cameron and livvy start dating and julian is kind of pressed about it but he supposes he doesnt mind 

cameron tells julian he doesnt care if he approves of the relationship, it’s the apocalypse

julian is crushed and livvy reassures him that she cares what he thinks of the relationship

he’s a little more comforted

emma and cameron are bros

but i need to stay away from the subject of cameron bc i will never stop if i dont asdfgh 

anyway thule isnt really the most romantic place but julian and emma find small ways to make it better

like the wooden board that covers the window in their room, for example

julian loves repainting it to show different scenes, the stars, the paris skyline, a romantic dinner scene, small things that emma loves and will make her smile, like chocolate or cats and cute things like that

a lot of the time he’ll just paint it without emma knowing and she’ll come back to a surprise 

they also cant really take too many romantic strolls outside, but they try and make do by just aimlessly walking down the hallways for hours, sometimes on the roof if they feel like they can risk it 

they really really dont like patrolling without each other but make do for the sake of the resistance 

dru goes out on the same patrol she did in canon and never comes back

julian is heartbroken, he should have been with her, trained her better, not let her go on patrols at all

emma somehow manages to convince him that he couldnt have done anything about it and just as he begins healing and getting comfortable with his family patrolling again ty comes back with a broken leg

sweet ty keeps telling him it’s not that bad, it’s not julian’s fault, there’s no reason to worry

it takes julian a long time to recover but emma helps him a lot

i didnt mean for this to take such a depressing turn but here we are lets move on with an abrupt and awkward transition

they def have their own motorcycle that is primarily driven by emma 

it’s highkey the coolest thing ever and they love their motorcycle probably more than is healthy

one time julian let his hair grow to his shoulders and emma was at first grudgingly accepting but when they rode the motorcycle and his hair was blowing into her face she immediately insisted he cut it when they got home 

livvy was sad she couldnt style it anymore but everyone ultimately agreed julian’s usual hair was much better

there was one time that julian started acting kind of sketchy, disappearing a lot, going on more patrols, saying he had meetings with maia but emma would see maia eating in the dining hall with julian nowhere to be found, she would check the patrol schedule just to find that julian wasnt on it

she asked him about it a few times but he brushed it off, telling her it was nothing and then distracting her with a kiss

finally one day he’d left early in the morning with no explanation and emma had no more patience left for this

she passed raphael in the hallway, and he grudgingly informed her that julian had returned, there’s no need to infect everyone else with her bad mood

says you, she retorted as she ran down the hallway in the direction of her and julian’s room

when she slammed open the door(can you slam a door open?? idk but if youre emma carstairs you can), fully ready to tell julian off and finally get answers, she was stunned speechless because there was julian, standing in the middle of the room, holding a basket full of chocolate

she might have cried

as she began eating he told her how he’d been searching high and low for any scraps of chocolate, even sneaking into some of sebastian’s known hang outs to acquire some

emma lightly slapped him on the arm for taking such a big risk but it didnt have much weight behind it since she was clearly enjoying the surprise 

julian warned her to hide it, that no one knew he had gotten the chocolate, only that he’d been planning a surprise, and he suspected if anyone discovered chocolate was in their headquarters there would be a war for it

emma felt guilty and almost wanted to share but not really

she did give a little to each of the blackthorns, claiming that was all they had but the kids were over the moon at the pieces they got

���im a terrible person’ said emma after all the blackthorns save julian had left the room

‘yeah’ julian agreed, and kissed her
