your “luke and alaric are married af” series made me transcend. they absolutely ARE. when i watched the show i really expected them to be in a canon relationship bc. it just seemed obvious. (me and magnus: you mean you’re NOT married??????) i’m surprised it’s such a small ship tbh. there is so much potential... i would love to hear more from u!!!!! what ideas do u have? first dates? how does maia react (i bet she’s like... duh? you’re my dads)? the story of luke’s epiphany omg???

for real!!! the chemistry and the love between them was so real and palpable and like hello? the way they always were on each other's corner? the Partners to Lovers dynamic?? the obvious mutual respect they had even though they were always butting heads? the way they always seemed to be growing together and not just fighting??? again the CHEMISTRY?? the fun little snippets we had like "it's never too early for teriyaki"?? literally we had so much to build an amazing romance and alaric is such a minor character his actor isn't even an actor he's a stunt double

like they had what 5 scenes and they all had such a great setup for romance or even for them to have been married the whole time??? they certainly had old married couple dynamics. fuck jocelyn i am speaking her out of existence. also i mean open relationships but why would luke even have a relationship with jocelyn when he had an actually good relationship to compare it to?

also the potential of their getting together being tied up to some personal growth from luke as an alpha and a downworlder in general like... most of their conflicts was because a part of luke still felt indebted to shadowhunters and their heritage and he kept putting the wolves last, and it would have been so good to see luke slowly realizing that he doesn't owe them shit and he gets to prioritize his own people and the people who are there for him, and him eventually choosing alaric over jocelyn being tied to choosing himself as he is now to who he used to be as a (terrible) shadowhunter...

not that it's alaric's job to fix luke obviously, but i don't think it would be "fixing" and this definitely wouldn't be a "teaching luke out of racism" story because when luke helped alaric as he became a werewolf he was already somewhat settled into werewolf life. i just think that a part of luke feels like he still owes loyalty to the people who hated him and it could have been a nice parallel to see him letting this go and getting with alaric. especially because alaric never coddled him, so, you know. and i think luke needed that little push in that sense. and alaric meanwhile would also be growing more confident into his role in the pack and in their job and getting the support he obviously still needed, and like, it could have been so good? definitely rocky before they sorted it out, but good. and of course sh had to waste the opportunity without even giving it thought because when don't they

anyway!!! as for your actual questions! first date is honestly so hard for me because i feel like their first date would feel like their billionth date. again i say, THEY ARE MARRIED whether they know it or not. so i can see their first official date going one of two ways: it's very lowkey, nothing they haven't done a thousand times before (like going to a small little family restaurant that they like, eating together, talking, maybe sharing a milkshake and they feel stupid but they're giggling and can't stop smiling and it makes them so happy that who cares) and it's absolutely PERFECT; OR they try to go all out and make it special and ~woo~ each other and it feels a little weird at first but it's still good and they get to enjoy the romantic ambience, hold hands over the table, and they're both a little shy because it feels like such a leap but it feels right

im gonna elaborate a little bit on both because i really love both??? so like they go to this little joint that is not the jade wolf or anything too close because they want to have this moment for tHEMSELVES, away from wherever anyone else from work or the shadow world might see them and from where they would think about it and associate with it. i am thinking... ohh some nice little place near where alaric's grown up? i'm headcanoning him as hondureño since we got no specifics other than his last name being rodriguez and i'm feeling like making him central american

and ALSO a great typical honduran dish is marinated meat and since luke is a beef jerky fan he would be all over that shit. i headcanon that luke knows alaric's family to some extent (i made a very quick reference to that in the second fic of the series) and i really love to think that luke has been to at least a few carneadas with alaric and his family?? which is aaaaaa another whole thing to talk about i might get back to it in a second but the DATE

also i like to think that luke would fall in love with rice and beans/casamiento because that is my rights. so like them going to the restaurant and having some meat (it's not really a carneada outside of the context of a carneada and for a date but like.. maybe pinchos or ye regular steak with urucum? i've had that in central brazil a few times and god i love it to death. or maybe chimol which sounds like something luke would like) with casamiento, tajadas, u know, the regular stuff? and it's lowey intimate because they are sharing the dish and it's something from alaric's culture you know??? god damn it i'm still talking about food. ONTO THE DATE

the point is that it's very casual and intimate but also uplifting and fun because this is a honduran restaurant we are talking about, so there's probably music, noise, alaric knows the family that runs it and possibly luke does too but they still have their space. maybe they get to dance a little bit because please god i am begging you, and luke has never had too many opportunities to dance before but it turns out he is a natural even if a little self conscious. i am picturing them dancing salsa which i kNOW is not an honduran dance but if the restaurant just leaves a Latin Music™ radio on as they usually do in latino restaurants in the US it's not that unlikely that it would play. and with alaric not being actually cuban he wouldn't humiliate luke too much. lmao

anyway most of the time they are just talking and teasing each other and every time luke takes a bite of the food he moans a little bit because he's a sucker for marinated meat and alaric wasn't even the one to cook it but goddamn if he doesn't feel proud of himself. and they share a drink (i guess the milkshake idea doesn't fit as well here but whatever they will get two straws for their iced tea or Tropical if they're feeling silly or agua de ensalada if they're feeling traditional. the point is that the lack of milkshake won't stop them from doing their dumb sappy thing) and are kind of laughing the whole time because it feels so teenage-y but to be fair luke DID just find out he was bisexual and figuring out your sexuality always brings in second puberty in terms of experiences. and alaric is not going to complain because it feels so sweet and right

and then the dancing which is fun and intimate and a little challenging for luke even if they aren't Full On Dancing Salsa, just a few moves here and there together but they get to be close and intimate and maybe alaric does some impromptu spinning and it makes them both laugh and maybe rub their noses together while they laugh and they are being so silly but they don't care

and basically they go home after hours, as you do, holding hands and a little drunk on each other, bumping shoulders on the way, alaric resting his head on luke's shoulder and luke on top of alaric's? and it makes walking a little awkward but god They Don't Care. and it just feels so perfect, like home and family and everything they are to each other :))))

really wanna add an "and then they fuck like rabbits" at the end but anyway i'll try not to ruin it

second date option! full out fanciness. they are already partners, they have seen each other in every possible situation, they know their worse, they know their married ways, but they want to have a ROMANTIC first date! lay thick their new relationship status. woo each other! show each other what amazing caring boyfriends/husbands they are. be adults!

they pick some fancy restaurant that luke may or may not have gotten suggested to him by magnus when he called him in a bit of panic because he is not very well versed in fancy restaurants and the like. maybe magnus even takes that extra step and portals them somewhere extra romantic like venice or whatever but i think they'd want to be independent in terms of going there and back so maybe not. anyway the point is, fancy restaurant! suits! they are a bit more nervous than they usually would because they haven't been in a place like this in waaayyy too long and they've never done anything remotely similar to that together before so it feels like a new territory and they kiinda want to prove something even though that's stupid because they've already chosen each other

but it goes well???? not as natural as the first date idea but that might just be me and thinking that casualness is the most romantic thing, and either way, it still feels so right and good. they get to sip wine, hold hands over the table, say something sweet to each other over entrees, share dessert, bicker over who gets to pay. again the marriedness of it all absolutely slips through but there is that new element that they are getting to explore and that feels so nice

and it's never stilted and forced, even if they are a little nervous, they are still themselves and it goes down smoothly and they are happy that it worked so well because there is always that fear in a best friends to lovers kinda situation that things will just feel weird, especially when you're both adults and have so much history. but it doesn't, it feels romantic and new and exciting and as they leave they tease each other a little bit like "after you, gentleman" and laugh together 🥺🥺🥺

and they have their first kiss as they leave and they both linger a little bit as they just stand under the stars and keep their eyes closed and their hands linked together and i need a moment oh my god

this got too long so i'm separating the answers for the different questions: maia's reaction (link), luke's epiphany (link)

#sh #shadowhunters #luke garroway #alaric rodriguez #aluke #ask #anonymous #long post #kinda #i know there are more questions im just separating them because the post feels too long already

andrea! what are your favorite chaptered/series sugakookie fanfics??

there is a lot:

☆ = contains explicit sexual content

(chaptered / completed) breathless by bluemixtape ☆

The distance between Prince Yoongi and his only comfort Jungkook is more than earth and sky: the weight of the crown, the unspoken apology, the endless regret. When the fate forces them back together again, all version of universes are jumbled in messy emotions and lingering memories. Min Yoongi, carrying a heart that never rests, desperately trying to reach his air: a splendid soul with thousand years worth of pain, Jeon Jungkook.

(canon verse, reincarnation, angst, hurt/comfort, prince!yoongi, servant!jeongguk, explicit sexual content, top!yoongi, bottom!jeongguk, implied prostitution, cross-dressing)

[i loved this fic so much, ah im a sucker for reincarnation AUs]

(series / ongoing) run this town by dreamingdaegu ☆

“Wanna give you a private dance,” Jungkook murmurs, tugging him in the direction of one of the secluded rooms.

“Doesn’t that cost a lot more?”

“You can afford it,” Jungkook tells him.

It’s true, Yoongi can. But it’s the principle; the feeling of being taken for a fool, who’ll pay anything just because he can. He’s about to argue his point before Jungkook adds-

“Anyway, this one’s for free.”

[alternatively: Yoonkook fuck in a strip club]

(AU, stripper!jeongguk, businessman!yoongi, fluff, light angst, explicit sexual content, top!yoongi, bottom!jeongguk, side taehyung/jimin, side namjoon/seokjin)

[um i talk about this series a lot, honestly one of my fav series and one of my fav characterizations]

(chaptered / completed) how to omega by yeoubi

“Can’t we just change it?” Jimin asked. They were huddled around their manager’s laptop looking at Jungkook’s public profile. Underneath his birth date was his wolf status, Alpha, in glowing red. “Then the company will end up looking like a liar,” their manager moaned piteously.

(Or, the one where Jungkook wasn’t as alpha as everyone expected him to be.)

(canon verse, abo au, werewolf au, no smut, alpha!yoongi, omega!jeongguk)

(series / completed) christmas special by xiajin

yoongi was pretty sure that this was the moment he knew he was in love.

[a classic, can never get tired of this]

(series / completed) peaches and cream by serindipia (meloncomia) ☆

Yoongi knows Jungkook is trouble since the first time they met, all soft colors and candy flavor. He also knows he shouldn’t be feeling this way about someone almost six years younger than him, that he’s supposed to be the responsible one; the adult. Jungkook, however, knows Yoongi has never been able to say ‘no’ to his pretty eyes and strawberry flavored lips.

(Or: Modern AU in wich Yoongi has the hots for Pastel!Jungkook, and Jungkook just wants to be babied and spoiled 24/7)

(AU, college student!yoongi, pastel!jeongguk, fluff, light angst, explicit sexual content, top!yoongi, bottom!jeongguk, daddy kink, hyung kink, age difference)

(AU, soulmates, fanboy!jeongguk, rapper!yoongi, fluff, angst)

[one of my fav soulmate au fics, also fanboy!jeongguk wow a concept]

(chaptered / uncompleted) riding the wavelength by siderum

“i was asking jungkookie about how yoongi hyung and he could read each other’s minds, and yoongi hyung was completely out of earshot, but when i said, ‘is it dark in there?’ hyung told me to shut up from the other side of the room. he wasn’t even looking up from his phone” - park jimin

alt. title: hey girl do you want to make a fragile human connection in the vast and unfeeling infinity of a chaotic universe

(canon verse, telepathy, mental link, ambiguous relationships, light angst)

(chaptered / completed) the sound of winter by officialmaknae ☆

Yoongi has a lot on his plate, but when his pack discovers a small pup in their territory, he finds that he’s about to have a lot more.

(AU, abo au, werewolf au, pack dynamics, slow burn, heat, explicit sexual content, alpha!yoongi, omega!jeongguk, minor character death, underage drinking, blood and gore, violence, mentions of rape/non-con, dubious consent)

five eyewitness accounts of the interaction between min yoongi and jeon jungkook. –

(canon verse, ambiguous relationships)

(chaptered / completed) one song glory by wortmalerei

When Yoongi gets a drunken call from Jimin’s friend Jeongguk in the middle of the night, he’s ready to blow him off and go back to sleep. He never expected to end up doling out life advice and driving the kid home across half of Seoul.

(AU, slow burn)

(chaptered / ongoing) semantics by bellamees

semantics is the study of meaning; it focuses on the relationship between words, phrases, signs, and symbols and what they stand for.

(canon verse, fluff, light angst)

(chaptered / completed) a fever you can’t sweat out by wicked_lovely ☆

Jungkook doesn’t know what he wants. All he knows is that Yoongi’s responses to his bratty behaviour makes his blood run hot like it’s on fire. His feelings run deeper than just lust, but he doesn’t know how to make his bandmate look at him in any other way. So he continues his childish assault, slowly chipping away at Yoongi’s cool exterior, waiting for the tension to break.

(canon verse, top!yoongi, bottom!jeongguk, jeongguk is a brat, explicit sexual content, spanking, rough sex, humiliation, dom/sub undertones, light bondage)

[another classic]

(chaptered/ ongoing) do it like me by xiajin

(chaptered / completed) sun child by xiajin

so jungkook lives like this. curiosity may take him from time to time, but it always disappears with something new to do. he doesn’t mind his existence in the tower, nor does he question why he’s always left inside there, nor does he wish to leave. there’s maybe, only like, one time he wants to leave. jungkook never asks, because he knows his mother will say no; yet still he keeps it in mind, records the dates for that day to come, and paints where his mother won’t see. other than that, jungkook is fine. he is.

(AU, tangled au, temporary charactered death, implied/referenced child abuse, (not with yk; emotional manipulation, stockholm syndrome, unhealthy relationships)

(AU, magic au, roommates, photographer!yoongi)

(chaptered / completed) witches petals by pursuit

“is there anything i can help you with?”

(or: yoongi has an affinity for cute (witch) florists)

(AU, fluff, witchflortist!jeongguk)

(chaptered / completed) a song for the demon by bluemixtape

Between colorful dust and tinkling laugh in the world of fairy, there’s few black wings hidden; those who are tainted by demon blood. That kind lives in a constant war against themselves and Yoongi, being one of them, is not an exception. As the one who has to carry the endless darkness, Yoongi can recognize even the smallest light. So when the blinding light called Jungkook comes, Yoongi has no chance against him.

(AU, fairy au, abo au, semi-dystopia au, angst, hurt/comfort, alpha!yoongi, omega!jeongguk, half demon!yoongi, half angel!jeongguk, minor character death, mpreg, onesided jimin/jeongguk, side namjoon/seokjin)

[i think this was one of the first fics i’ve read, along with the christmas special. holds a special place in my heart, and florist!jeongguk!!!]

(chaptered / completed) unfinished by fruitily

“what am i supposed to do about this,” yoongi said blankly, “call the ghostbusters?”

“you don’t have to do anything,” jungkook said, “except maybe stop walking the bedroom-bathroom distance naked, because i’m like, seeing everything, y’know, and i just told you we should take it slow, right?” –

in which it takes yoongi a month to realize his place is haunted, jungkook is bad at being a ghost, and namjoon and jimin are probably the only contacts in yoongi’s phone.

(AU, ghost au, ghost!jeongguk, angst, domestic fluff, mentions of death, side namjoon/seokjin, implied/past taehyung/jimin)

[i also rlly love ghost AUs]

(chaptered / completed) contractual by baekhyun (baruna) ☆

“I,” Yoongi says, “would rather die than act in another movie with Jeon Jeongguk.” “Then die.” Jimin says flatly. “Because you’re doing it anyway.”

(AU, actors au, angst, explicit sexual content, top!yoongi, bottom!jeongguk)

(chaptered / ongoing) tea house special by baekhyun (baruna)

Earthbending prodigy Jungkook lives a relatively peaceful life in Ba Sing Se. That is, until a mysterious, wealthy stranger begins frequenting his and Seokjin’s tea house. (Or, the atla!AU where Jungkook tries desperately to figure out just who this guy is and in the process gets himself a boyfriend.)

(AU, avatar & benders au, fluff, angst, figerbender!yoongi, earthbender!jeongguk, slightly sugar daddy yoongi, implied/referenced character death, explicit sexual content, blood, violence)

(chaptered / completed) dark cartography by diamondust ☆

sunset is bleeding into the sky in a thousand shades of red and yellow when min yoongi pushes jeon jungkook against the door to his room in the shittiest inn in the city, pistol firmly pressed against his lower back. jungkook doesn’t struggle — just screws his eyes shut and tries to hold in his breath as if he’s been waiting for that, been counting the days before someone finally put a bullet through him. yoongi is interested.

(AU, enemies to lovers, explicit sexual content, top!yoongi, bottom!jeongguk, choking, praise kink, side hoseok/taehyung)

(chaptered / completed) one sheep, two sheep by gbyesummer (shouldshy)

Jungkook has recently moved to Seoul for school and lives with his brother and his brother’s best friends. It’s all great, if you don’t count the insomnia. (5 times Yoongi helped Jungkook fall asleep + one time Jungkook helped him.)

(AU, roommates, fluff, pre-relationship)
