One thing about TCH2, I really fucking loved is how it treats Jack with so much nuance and respect and doesn’t demonise him for his actions, only is firm with him when he goes too far. He’s not wrong for resenting his birth mother, and the narrative never forces, blames or punishes him for it. There’s no moment where he’s forced to understand her and forgive her (or worse, realise he was ‘wrong’ and want forgiveness for his resentment towards her). Same with his actions against the Fae; he’s not wrong for using force against both the Courts (both!!! Even if Kieran is a good person and may have listened to Jack, Jack didn’t know that and isn’t wrong for assuming the worst just because Kieran doesn’t have bad intentions). He’s wrong for using more force than needed, for hurting innocent people and similar actions, but in the end, his ideals are proven right and he is not wrong for wanting to end a corrupt system.

*wakes up in the middle of the night* Jack is literally a reference to the ‘Jack’ archetype; the protagonist who uses cleverness and trickery in order to accomplish his goal. This is not necessarily always the case, but Jack is generally the go-to name (or John) in English fairytales for protagonists

TCH!MC is an obvious reference to the typical fairytale heroine (MC can be either gender and this troupe isn’t limited to a specific gender but is traditionally limited to female characters) such as Cinderella, Rapunzel or Snow White. These characters come from a difficult or tumultuous life yet due to remaining true to themselves and being kind no matter what, they are ultimately rewarded their happily ever after.

Yet TCH2 takes it a step further and addresses the criticism and questions around these types of characters, such as their seemingly ‘lack of power’ which has become a prevalent topic of debate especially in the modern age. Characters like Cinderella and Snow White are criticised for being too ‘traditionally feminine’ (with these criticisms more often than not being stemmed from the idea that power means to take on an active role and have physical strength, diminishing other strengths, although it is worth noting that the question itself is not entirely problematic, especially when there’s a trend of female characters rather than allowing them varied roles).

MC has insecurities and fears regarding their lack of traditional power and how this disallows them from being able to protect those they love. Kieran unknowingly feeds into this by putting MC on the sidelines. We see how these insecurities affect MC’s previously open heart, as it is no longer considered pure and true. MC’s must choose between traditional power and strength or their own that stem from their mortality and heart.

And they choose the first option.

And it does them no good. They choose wrong.

They are not able to stop Opulence or do anything to truly sway the battle towards their side. By discarding their kind heart and love, they become an empty shell and only manage to hurt others.

Only when Kieran’s love is able to restore their heart, like they once did for them, is MC able to make a plan to stop Opulence and succeed. Through their mortal ability to lie and their love for others.

ID!MC may not be the most amazing MC of all-time but I fucking love them. Little guy (g/n) who constantly finds themselves in the worst and most bizarre situations and has absolutely no idea of they got here. This is just their life now. When things get bad, lie down on the floor for a bit or maybe scream or punch something, and then get up because we have a coven meeting at 5. Their priorities are 1) Being horny af for Cas and Gabe and blood, 2) Find out if I can get Cas and Gabe to make out so I don’t have to choose one (and hopefully watch them make out), 3) Get Astoria, Lewyn and Mom off their back, and 4) Idk don’t get murdered or banished maybe, it doesn’t matter much and also idk adulthood but I can deal with that later and actually put literally everything else in this tier. They are somehow the most normal and insane person in the book. Their reaction to gaining powers from the leyline is ‘cool. anyways-’, and tbh there’s so much shit going on in their lives that it’s not like they can react any other way. Somebody just hand them a fucking blunt, they deserve it.

I think ID!MC should get pregnant. For no reason except it’s funny af and it creates another Twilight parallel

#“no. you got our partner pregnant” and theyre both girls #<<<prev tags #that is what causes cas and gsbr to become poly fr #not because of mc or falling in love with each other too #but because the alternative is being a dead beat dad #and there’s no way gabe ‘i had a huge loving family’ adalhard #and cas ‘i’ve never been loved before and never had a family unyil the covens’ harlow #would be deadbeat dads

[itlovesinthewoods]

Idk how it happens, maybe the leylines decide to fuck with MC. But MC is forced to tell Gabe and Cas they cucked both of them and now the covens have a huge fucking dilemma as what the fuck are you supposed to do now. What coven does the baby even belong? It’s not like you can do DNA testing due vampire biology

I can see this going two ways:

The coven find out MC knows but instead choose to turn them into a vampire. They end up in as either a Venandi or Clement but like in canon they don’t completely fit in either. They want to make the covens pay still for what they did

The coven’s don’t know and MC decides they want to become a vampire hunter

Toying with the idea of MC never encountering Cas in the woods but MC’s mother digging too deep and finding out about vampires. The covens end up killing Terri and making it look like an accident but MC somehow knows that it was vampires and develops an intense hatred and need for revenge against them

Maybe Someday

Book: Immortal Desires

Pairing: Gabriela Adalhard/Cassie Harlow

Rating/Warnings: M, contains scenes of nausea and descriptions of throwing up, blood, depression, and refusal to eat

Summary: Gabriela still hasn’t gotten the hang of drinking blood

A.N. Please keep the above warnings in mind! If there are any additional warnings or tag you need me to add please don’t hesitate to let me know!

The nausea is threatening a reappearance again, there’s a drip in the faucet, she’s long gone. There’s nothing Gabriela is willing to do about it right now.

Willingness. What a concept.

The solution sits there, blatantly taunting. She graces it with the finger, sending a mental apology moments afterwards to whoever had to be drained for this.

It’s never getting easier.

She catches a forced sight of herself in the mirror, breaking gaze just as quickly. Silver follows her back, and she loses her reflection. There’ll be no looking at herself anymore, now that it won’t result her in seeing herself.

‘Can’t see what’s gone’ she reminds herself. She curls up. The drip goes on.

Her days have blended into this lately, since she died. Since she awoke with her stopped heart in her throat and the keen eyes of a community watching her every move. (They are a community, for all she says about them. Just not one for her). She wonders for a moment if they’re at all entertained by what she presents to them now. For a marvelous moment, she remembers she doesn’t care, and manages a partial smile.

A knock, and seeing Nicole’s responding smile startles her out of the stupor, and she scrambles to sit up in a decent position. Her hoodie is crumpled she knows, and her hair in an extremely messy ponytail. Not ready for company. Again though, this not caring thing does wonders for her.

“How’re you holding up?” Nicole questions, and Gabriela’s eyes dart to the bag. Nicole sees it too, but thankfully she keeps whatever sympathy she’s sure she’s harboring to herself.

“Holding up fine” she lies, and her eternal punishment comes through exactly moments later. Cas Harlow is here, and she looks as though she’s been handed a lottery ticket. She has no energy for the smugness.

“Cas” Nicole acknowledges, and Cas immediately ignores this pleasantry to eye the bag. Maybe she’ll keep it there rather than deliver it to Shiloh’s door later that night- it’s clearly a conversational point.

“You’re still holding out?”

“It’s a principle-” she begins. Harlow’s laugh is as amused as she imagines she can get, the usual rough edge sneaking its way through.

“It’s killing you, is what it is. Look, you don’t have to hunt. But the blood was given anyways. So feed. You know you want to”

It’s an act of otherworldly, hunger induced defiance that has her lift the bag from the table, bringing it to her lips. She doesn’t need to much less want to- has more control than Cas. Than them. She can keep herself from doing this.

Her fangs dip, and she thinks she’s never eaten before this. The ecstasy overtaking her as the blood coats her tongue and eventually lips as she grows sloppier elicits the faintest moan, clearly not lost on Cas.

The bag is drained down to the dredges, and she could swear she hears Cas laugh as she growls in her desperation to get more. Another bag is downed, somehow smoothly procured by Cas’s deft hand.

“Lifted it” she explains, surely purposely ignoring Gabe’s (unfocused) glare of judgment. “Hey, this one was given by L. Russel! You should start a collection- some people treat doing this like a free ticket to paradise and give every couple months. Maybe they’ll come through for you again- since you like the taste so much apparently”

It’s all it takes to Gabriela on her feet and in the bathroom, a nausea even stronger than before threatening to overtake her. Footsteps follow, but whoever it is isn’t important. Who is is this L. Russel, who’s unwittingly extending the life force and strength of a monster.

She can feel Cas’s hand steadying her, hyper aware of the surprisingly gentle touch that grasps the stray hair and chain of her cross out of her way as she vomits. Her fingers linger over a rash from the faint bit of silver mixed with the gold, brushing at it with a careful reverence. It’s unexpectedly grounding, and she flinches back from the stained red bowl- leaning against Cas. It’s a comfortable position- she must have shifted to make the room for her.

She sits with that for a moment, with a bloody toilet bowl and Cas Harlow and a mouthful of blood her body stubbornly refused to let go of, and somehow it’s the most grounded she’s felt in some time.
