The past year has been amazing and painful to say the least. I moved for my masters and then finished my degree recently and had to move back to another city again. There’s also a lot of crazy stuff in between too lol.
I met so many wonderful people this year and it has been quite an experience. I’ve done this whole thing before too but due to covid, I didn’t get the time to deal with the change last time.
I was talking to my flatmates yesterday on video call and suddenly I was filled with the tremendous grief of losing friendships—not to fights or break ups but simply to life, jobs and again, to life. No one talks about how it feels to lose friendships—they’re not award winning book worthy but it’s a topic I need to write on.
So, in order to deal with all this love and grief inside of me—I’m starting this new fic.
Full disclaimer: it’s not entirely a happy fic. It’s not like anything I have written before but it’s the most real thing I will ever write. Every chapter will contain a different story including Malec, the kids, TMI Gang, warlock gang and a few OCs. Malec would be central to somr of them, in others it’ll focus more on Rafael, Max or Ari.
The purpose of these stories is not to cause pain but for me to deal with a thing or two. But I’m letting you all know that most of these stories will not have a happy ending. Some will have an ambiguous end, others bittersweet, 2% might have a happy ending and some are just straight up painful.
I hope you go on this journey with me but if it’s not your cup of tea, then I understand too.

Max stuck his hand into Kieran’s wavy hair and pulled. Kieran just laughed. “That’s right, it changes color, little nixie-like warlock,” he said. “Look.” And his hair went from blue-black to bright blue in an instant. Max giggled.
" You could have had anything else in the world, and you asked for me." She smiled up at him. Filthy as he was, covered in blood and dirt, he was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen. "But I don't want anything else in the world"

"You have to go back. You have to go back to the world." "I don't want the world. I want you."
Just imagine.....Magnus, Izzy, kit, Emma, anna and Matthew driving through the streets of a city in the middle of the night vining to Material Girl and screaming the lyrics out into the universe. Idk why I thought of that but yeah...TSC's own Material Girls (ish).
I want to believe that in Rafe's attempt to not distance himself from his parents' culture he speaks Spanish as much as he can, always hangs out with his mate, and bases his diet and interactions on getting closer to his latino roots.
THEREFORE Alec, Magnus and Max also have empanadas, pupusas, sandwiches de miga, pinto for breakfast...😻
