Imagine Alastair always gifting Thomas a new scarf for their annual anniversary, saying that as long as they are together, he will make sure that Thomas never has to be cold again

I think that sometimes people look at Zachary and think that he only exists to be Emma's ancestor. But I really disagree with this, to be honest.
Of course, that is part of his purpose - to fill in a narrative gap. Which isn't a bad thing, he was definitely a planned part of the book and that's part of the reason Cassie made him.
But Zachary is, above all else, an important part of Alastair's arc.
Alastair grew up in an extremely fucked up situation because of his father. He spent his life basically being Cordelia's super secret secret parent and protecting her, basically serving as a human shield to protect her from Elias's abuse and worst traits.
Now, Elias is dead. Zachary is a blank slate that Alastair knows will not be subjected to abuse or mistreatment. This gives Alastair the chance to have a more "normal" relationship with a sibling, even if he's way younger than Alastair. It affords Alastair the chance to be a brother figure who cares for him in a normal way.
Zachary is also Alastair's ticket to actively breaking the cycle of abuse. Which, as Alastair is wonderful, he will of course do. We also get to see this in the canon a bit in the epilogue, where Alastair is constantly spoiling Zachary and being the person who shows up for him. He even sings the song that his and Cordelia's father sang to them as babies, repurposing it in a positive light.
Zachary can grow up truly happy, and Alastair knows it. He can get the childhood and the early life that Alastair never got, and unlike both him and Cordelia,* Zachary won't be dealing with familial trauma well into adulthood. It's a great narrative choice, honestly. Hats off to @cassandraclare for this one. It hit a good spot.
This is in my opinion the reason that he will be featured in Thomas and Alastair's Better in Black story. His presence in both Alastair's life and his partner's gives him the opportunity to form and nurture a new sort of healthy familial relationship, and it will be such a blessing and a pleasure to see that.
*I could spend hours unpacking Cordelia's trauma and have already made a post on it before, but like, if you don't see that she has a lot of epiphanies and realizations to work through in the future... I don't know what to tell you, sorry.

james & cordelia and thomas & alastair go on a double date night. what do they do? what restaurant do they go to? what food do they order? where do they go afterwards? 👀
OOOH YES I LOVE THIS ASK and saved it until I finished work so I could devote attention to it
OKAY so. SO. I think that they go to dinner first at a nice restaurant, you know, for the romantic vibes. Also because let's be real they can afford it on any given day. I'm thinking that they go to Kettner's Townhouse since Matthew is away on his Voyage (and that's why it ain't a triple-date), Oscar Wilde went there, and Alastair thinks it would be funny to write a fire-message on his napkin critiquing the ambiance that Wilde enjoyed.
Looking at the menu, I think that their orders would be:
Marinated olives to split as a starter between them - Cordelia keeps pitting them with her fingers so James can eat the pimentos which he likes, and Alastair is ashamed to be dining with them
Rabbit rillettes, toast and cornichons for James. I think he likes to try different meats a lot, and game meats would be something he was into trying
Soft polenta, braised escarole, wild garlic and sheep’s ricotta for Cordelia. She's super into the cheese, and James swipes some off her plate and she giggles and wipes the sauce away with her finger
Burrata, marinated peppers and Calabrian chilli honey for Alastair (who sits there explaining how amazing it is to combine sweet and spicy flavours)
Chicken, leek, and bacon pie, hispi cabbage to share for Thomas (it's canon that he likes chicken a lot in Chain of Iron). He shares the cabbage with Alastair of course.
Chocolate mousse, olive oil and sea salt for James and Cordelia's shared dessert
Tiramisu for Thomas and Alastair's shared dessert
After dinner and a hilarious Matthew-and-Alastair fire-message exchange, they all head off to wander about the Strand. They have a fun time ducking into various small shops and 100% eat even more dessert from confectioner shops.
Then, they attend a candle-light concert in one of London's concert halls before heading home!
