“What are you so scared of Nancy?!” Robin pleads stomping after Nancy, grabbing her wrist forcing her to turn and meet her desperate blue eyes, searching for an answer.

(Ronance prompt :P)

"C'mon Nancy just talk to me!" Robin yells after Nancy, who had spun around from the family video store counter and stormed towards the door. She quickly followed after the brunette, Nancy's face set in agitation as she fished through her purse for her keys.

"what are you so scared of Nancy?" Robin pleads, stomping after Nancy, grabbing her wrist forcing her to turn and meet her desperate blue eyes, searching for an answer. "it's not...this isn't bad, you're not bad, I'm not bad. We're not bad, or evil, or sick." She murmured, Nancy's eyes flashing down to Robin's hand on her wrist before pulling away; a frown evident behind her stone set features.

"I'm not scared, not of you, and not about what people think. But like I said, we just can't do this. " The brunette had shrugged, watching as Robin's face contorted, into a look of confusion, a look of hurt. And Nancy could almost feel the ache in her hand, to reach up and comfort the blonde.

But she didn't, instead she pulled her keys out of her bag, unlocking her car door, as Robin's pleas fell upon deaf ears. "Nancy, you came to me for a reason, and I don't know why...but you're scared, I don't know if it's of me, or because of what happened last week; but you're scared."

"I'm not afraid Robin, what happened last week was a one time thing, we can't just— kiss like that!" Nancy whispered, her tone practically dripping in malice, but she couldn't believe it, when Robin crossed her arms, over the disgustingly green uniform vest she wore, an eyebrow raised so it almost touched her bangs. "I'm not stupid Nancy, I understand if you need to work everything out, but you kissed me, and forgive me if I'm wrong— but that's not something friends do... Especially not us"

And Nancy, she dropped her keys, her grip had loosened just enough for them to fall into the concrete, barely making a clinking noise, as she stared straight into Robin's eyes, still as blue and concerned as when she had last looked at them. "It's not, no. But we can't— we can't be together. That wouldn't work, we're—..."

"We're what Nancy? Two girls? I mean I already knew that, but thanks for clearing that up." Robin sighed, a strand of hair blowing from the forced air escaping her, a look of shock spreading across her face as Nancy pulled her closer, by the suspenders she was wearing. "What- Nancy?"

Nancy leaned closer, their faces inches apart as Robin moved closer, her lips just barely brushing against Nancy's, who then engaged in a kiss, a short, sweet; and very simple kiss. When Nancy had pulled away she exhaled softly, a small smile spreading across her face. "I'm not scared of us, I promise."

Random and you can TOTALLY say no, but would you consider Alastair for TTPD x TSC? ❤️

I would never say no, esp. if I've read the books and love a character (though I might be late sometimes) <3

You're in luck, btw! I had one of these ready because I posted on Instagram, and apparently forgot to share here, but I didn't know which of these you wanted to see, so I made the other one as well! I hope you like this! 🤍

I know the tsc fandom is in hibernation, but I was rereading Learn About Loss, and When Belial asks Zachariah if he can choose between a cure and the whereabouts of the lost Herondale. Jem chooses the lost Herondale because according to him " The Carstairs owe a life debt to the Herondales. That is my choice."

This means that the whole Carstairs owe the Herondale thing that happened before 1936. The thing is, it was never mentioned in TLH, which makes me think, maybe it happened after 1903? But at the same time, which Carstairs would owe a life debt to the Herondales between 1903 and 1936? So, it's either Zachary who would be in his 30s by the 1930s, Alastair (honestly, I don't see him owing shit to the Herondales 😭😭) Cordelia or Alastair's kids if he had any. But it has to be them, they are the only Carstairs alive in this period.

i saw this and thought of thomastair lmao

JAKSJKSHSKSJA if this isn’t a realistic representation of how i imagine alastair doing it…then i don’t know what it is. i’m sorry, but i can perfectly picture him grumbling and panting and asking thomas to get closer because he wants needs to reach all of him, but can’t do it properly if thomas doesn’t get his ass a bit close !! and i can also picture poor thomas trying to hold back his laugh the whole time.

How yanderes react to a reader who only wants to have sex after marrying them. And after marriage how they would be in taking the reader's virginity.

What a sweet lil ask!🥺✨

MINORS DNI!!

CW: gender not specified, generally NSFW, some are mean. some are cute tho too!

they’re all secretly honored that they get to keep you as their partner legally. buuuut-

Enix: he’s still a depraved somno creep before you get to know eachother, never takes it that far until you’re awake when you tell him. “oh” he says. within the next week you’re married and he’s being gentle and loving at least the first time! doesn’t start to choke you until the third time…

Dev.in: doesn’t believe in marriage. but Issac thinks it’s cute, so he’ll marry you and take you first. is very inexperienced and probably hurts you on accident. will be the first one to cry tho, and will definitely need to be comforted.

Zachriel: Thinks that is a wonderful idea, flawless in fact. You are their GOD. so of course they will obey your rules. They take you flawlessly, and your first time(along with every other time) feels like heaven itself has opened up to you even though you are very much still alive.

Max: he’s a sensitive bugger at heart. This might make him tear up tbh. Thinks you’re too precious for this world. 100% spoils you with a grand wedding and then makes sure your first time is as precious as you are to him in general.

Professor Reisgraf: Agrees, and wishes to wed you properly. Is very formal about the whole thing, another grand wedding for you. You feel like absolute royalty with him. and it doesn’t stop at the wedding, will bow down to the crown, and isn’t afraid to give you anything you want or need.

Alastair: Feels the same way as you always, will spoil you and want to be spoiled by you as well. will NOT wear a tux. Probably catch him wearing a short dress honestly, with lots of frilly volume, and will wear a white choker, instead of his usually black. HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO TAKE YOUR VIRGINITY, and his life long dream has been realized, will study for MONTHS to be properly prepared. Will definitely cry.

BONUS:

Tzaisol: is so freakin excited, marries you in the traditional way for his clan. everyone welcomes you and you feel like you’re at home. Your first night together changes any life goals you had before to just wanting to be a good parent to some cute lil troll babies.

Yep Thomastair are exhibitionists

they would literally make out ANYWHERE ELSE except like the bedroom

sanctuary (where people could and did come in), library (again where people could and did come in), carriage (poor driver), mistletoe??? (as much as he wanted to claim alastair as his in front of the entire enclave, Alastair just dragging him behind an urn?????), infirmary (pls)

They waited so long to actually get together that they lack self control

It becomes a running gag that everyone walks in on them at least once because it’s impossible not to

There's a substantial part of me that truly believes GUTS to be Olivia Rodrigo's (and the entire music industry's) contribution to Alastember.

Giving you my honest opinion… I and nor does Lore ( @thrxughthenxght ) listen to Olivia Rodrigo. We’ve never associated her music with anything TSC related as well, sorry🙈

BUT

Let’s get the opinions of the lovely people who are celebrating Alastember with us 🎉🥳

Like if you agree with GUTS relating to Alastair!

Reblog, if you do or if you don’t agree and explain why! We would love to hear everyone’s opinions!!!!

the more time that passes the more I realise how LITTLE we learnt from chot. like the only things that we found out that affected the later books was why mina won't have belial powers and Jesse's tomb from sobh. Matthew's flask ?? the beautiful cordelia?? the door from los that kit, livvy and ty find?? the weird herondale-blackthorn entwined paper kit finds in blackthorn hall?? why everyone was so sad about matthew later on? WHY THE CARSTAIRS OWE THE HERONDALES??? WHEN DO WE FIND OUT ALL THIS???

jargyle trying to hide that they are dating but they’re a little too high and a little too obvious, and will clocks them immediately

Thank you for the ask!! But uh here is my very rusty attempt at this, sorry if this isn’t exactly what you had in mind, this is just how I imagine it!!

__________________________________________

Jonathan had thought his relationship with Argyle had been pretty well hidden, at least most of the time. Well unless they were alone. Then obviously, it wasn’t.

But he was super wrong.

After getting back from the roller rink, He had invited Argyle in for dinner, which in hindsight probably wasn’t a good idea because they were both tripping balls, from Jonathan’s obviously over relaxed demeanor, and his tendency to chuckle at every noise made. Usually this wasn’t a problem, no one ever said anything about it, but the lingering touches between him and Argyle, on the hand, or Jonathan pressed against his side until he literally couldn’t be, well it raised some suspicion from Will.

Now obviously he wasn’t going to say anything, not infront of everyone at least. It just seemed cruel. Jonathan was whispering to Argyle, asking him several random questions, mainly about why Murray was there, to which Argyle shrugged, “maybe he’s a business dude with your mom or something man.” Jonathan nodded slowly, sitting back up from his slouching position, “right yeah, can you pass me the olive oil?” “That’s wine.”

Dinner continued as normal, with Will’s eyes on Argyle and Jonathan like a hawk, nothing else had really happened, except for Jonathan leaning his head on Argyle’s shoulder for a long period of time, and He looked peaceful. But what if Will was wrong? That would be embarrassing to bring up.

-sometime after dinner bc yeah-

Will was helping Jonathan in the kitchen, waiting until everyone was in a car proximity, before hounding Jonathan. “So… you seem pretty close with Argyle. Is he cool?” That wasn’t want he wanted to ask, but obviously he couldn’t just blurt out and ask him if they were dating, at least not until he got more information. Jonathan nodded, mainly without hesitation, looking over as he cleaned off the dishes, water flicking over onto his shirt. “Yeah he’s cool. Why’d you ask?” Will shrugged, playing it off as he dried the counter. “Just curious, you were like, wedged onto him earlier.”

Jonathan had figured Will knew. He could practically feel his eyes burning into him, but it didn’t really bother him, someone had to know right? “If you’re trying to ask if we’re.. a thing, then yes. We are. Sorta-“ it was a complicated matter, it’s not like they really specified exactly what the two were, obviously more than friends but not exactly lovers? “Right, yeah no it’s cool- I was just asking. I didn’t want you to get the wrong idea” Will rambled, as Jonathan looked over and shook his head softly. “You worry too much, but if that answers your question, was that all you needed? Or did you want to talk about anything else?”

Will shook his head absently, he wasn’t going to judge him for it, so his question had been answered for now. “Nope- I’m good. Just uh- be more careful in front of mom, with the; being high thing. She might catch on” Jonathan nodded, finishing up the dishes and drying his hands off. “Yeah I figured, and, could you maybe not tell anyone right now? I mean I know you won’t it’s just- I’m still trying to figure out what we’re gonna end up being, and I need to talk to him.

Will nodded, giving him a small grin. “Course, your secret is safe with me.”

__________________________________________

So that was, really rushed and I’m sorry, once again if that isn’t what you imagined or anything, but I hope you enjoyed this! Also I’m super rusty right now, so bear with me please

[layla-carstairs]

(this got way too long i'm sorry lol) don't even get me started on the timeline there's so much that doesn't make sense!! i've tried to map it out because i am insane but i am definitely putting more thought into this than cc herself. like, in the days past 1900 chapter cordelia mentions that she's 13, when it's literally impossible for her to be 13 that year ????

and lowkey i am just very excited to see someone else mention the mess that it is the timeline because i've been thinking about when alastair and thomas must have gone on their travel year (and also during that travel year when thomas must have gone to paris because they wouldn't just give him a holiday immediately right, like it must have been december 1902 they met, yes i am overthinking this) for years lol

my best guess is that charles arranged to marry ariadne in early 1901 but it wasn't officially announced?? it was just an arrangement/promise and then he went to paris and met alastair later that year (though i think they'd already met yikes) and they dated sometime in 1901 (where alastair would have been 16-17 /yikes/), for any of this to work i think we just have to accept that shadowhunters can go on their year abroad before they turn 18, or maybe alastair wanted to get out of the house :( and then maybe charles told alastair of the engagement a little bit into their relationship?? don't even get me started on thomas' travel year, we know it lasted 9 months, was from 1902 to 1903 and he had come back fairly recently in august (and tbh i'm gonna stretch that definition of recent and just say the thieves are all being dramatic when they're still toasting him coming back at the beginning of chog). but he also took two weeks holiday in 1902 and saw alastair (who i have to assume was secretly visiting charles since if he was still on his travel year, he could have just said that instead of being cryptic and hilarious lol) anyways in conclusion the timeline is a mess

i thought cordelia's birthday must be really late in the year but i did not realise this means it would be impossible for her to have her parabatai ceremony lol, okay i can't work out that one unless everyone's straight up lying or don't know their own birthdays

anyways i clearly think about this way too much, sorry for rambling in your inbox, you did not ask for this lmao i have just had many thoughts about timelines from like two years ago that all bubbled up to the surface when i saw your post

okay I am finally answering this, I am so so sorry about the wait </3

honestly when it comes to timelines, I think cc just kinda says things vaguely enough that it makes sense as long as you don't think about it too hard lmao. Also I did not know Cordelia said she was 13 in 1900... In order for that to be possible she'd have to be born in either 1886 or 1887. I wonder if cc just forgot she had said Cordelia was born in 1885? that seems like the only viable option here 😭

Paris 1902 is so bad because a lot of the things that contradict it are in the same book 💀 like with other stuff at the very least you can give cc the benefit of the doubt that she forgot between writing short stories and whatnot. but the same book!! insanity!!

I don't think there's any way to twist it in order for it to make sense? like something has to be wrong. best I've got is Thomas turned 18 in Jan, went on travel year for roughly 8 months meaning he gets back to London right before the start of ChoG in August. He met Alastair in Paris in like, March or April 1903 when he was finishing up his travel year and Alastair was being cryptic just because. Charles and Alastair met in Sept. 1902 when Alastair went on his travel year to Paris; Charles and Ari are already engaged by this point (technically) and every other conflicting detail gets throw out the nearest window lmao. for me at least, shadowhunters going on their travel year before turning 18 defeats the purpose, which is to go on patrol and fight demons in a different country. and if they were able to at 17, I think there's several characters who would be currently on their travel year, like James and Matthew, and who obviously aren't.

The parabatai ceremony thing is annoying because cc actual reconned it :) in the codex it says you have be in childhood to become parabatai, and this is supported by Jem in clockwork prince. however, in tfsa, Simon is still able to become parabatai with Clary despite already turning 18, so now shadowhunters are considered children up until 19 but this only applies to the parabatai ceremony because in every other aspect of life they become adults at 18. this makes sense (not). personally i am of the option that Cordelia turning 18 and being unable to become parabatai with Lucie would have been more interesting, and added some stakes that chot desperately needed. plus it would be funny if they still became parabatai in the end because Will and Jem pulled some strings (the benefits of nepotism 😌)

the timeline of tlh is one of my great enemies at this point and I've held my tongue about it for far too long, so don't feel bad about rambling! (even if it takes me 3 months to reply 🫣)

#cordelia and thomas having the most inconsistent ages in canon is so funny to me #bc the only explanation i can come up with is that cc forgot 1885 was a year people could be born in lmao #i spent the entire wait for chot assuming cordelia and lucie were never becoming parabatai bc cordelia turned 18 #you can imagine how i felt when she simply did not turn 18.... #I have so many thoughts about this and I love putting wayyyy to much thought into things #so thank you for the ask!

What did you think of the reasoning behind the inaccurate family trees and Esme Hardcastle? I found her very annoying.

Okay so this is an unpopular take but I find the family tree and everything surrounding it hilarious.

Like, we knew it was inaccurate for years, so that wasn't a surprise. (Also, it's very welcome that Thomas did not die at 30 and Alastair didn't die at 44, so I'mma celebrate).

But we also knew that it was the bane of our existence as a fandom. It's a massive shared joke, to be frank. Even funnier, we also knew that regardless of how much we deliberated over it and agonized, it was the bane of Cassie's existence in ways that we could not even imagine, and that has become an in-joke with both the creator and the fandom.

The Esme thing may have felt like a let-down to some people, and in a way I get that. But, for me, it was just super funny both in-text and metatextually. Like, Cassie saw no way around this demon of her own making besides having some random unhinged girl make it? I love that. It solved the problem in a hilariously creative way.

As for Esme herself, I really like her to the point that I lowkey hoped to pair her off with Matthew, who I completely and utterly adore. (I'm fine with this not happening, but thought it would be fun). She's nuts, she's funny, she's quirky. Plus, I like seeing more Ascendants.

Also, we got some absolutely hilarious Alastair moments because of Esme's meddling, too, and I deadass think that she spelled his name wrong and killed him and Thomas off young because he snapped at her.

So, I'm so sorry, but everything about this entire situation is hysterically funny to me.

I would let Alistair do unholy things to me. What’s something the MC could do get his attention? Like something they could wear or do that would have him questioning risking it all?

Alastair would be happy to do unholy things to you lmao also defiance, but not towards MC's father (this applies more in deeper romance) but him. A person who isn't afraid of pushing back intrigues him, even though he knows it shouldn't.

Oh, and honesty. Maturity.
