#ty and alyssa supremacy

[thechangeling]

If I keep my eyes closed

5 times people saw the Herondale necklace on Ty and thought Kit and Ty were together and the one time they were actually right.

Listen I know @sandersgrey was probably expecting this prompt to create a funny silly light hearted fic and I swear I really tried (no I didn't) but then C-PTSD brain came along and said let's do trauma and angst so here we go. Also I'm splitting this fic into chapters because the last time I did this I ran out of space lol.

Cw: Emotion flashbacks (from c-ptsd), mentions of trauma, slutshaming, what I like to call neuro misogyny (basically the specific brand of ableism directed at neurodivergint women and those perceived as women), and mentions of sex.

Chapter one: Parasites

"Oh are you fucking kidding me," Alyssa whined out loud, causing several people nearby in the common area to turn around and look at her. She didn't care. She had always had a tendency to say things out loud by mistake and she didn't really care about people's reactions anymore.

"What?" Anush muttered from beside her, his nose still buried in his book. They were both camped out on one of the circular couches on the far side of the room.

Alyssa wacked him, causing a noise of protest from Anush and pointed across the room to where Ty was exiting the common room with an admittedly quite attractive Centurian boy that Ali couldn't remember the name of. Ty looked back and met her gaze and she smirked, blowing him a kiss.

He gave her one of his confused but affectionate "I have no idea what you're doing you crazy person but I still love you" looks, and let himself be gently pulled back to the staircase up to the dorms. Alyssa knew that Ty wasn't a fan of being touched but he occasionally endered it under specific circumstances.

Like getting laid.

Alyssa rolled her eyes at the air. "That's like the fourth one this week!"

A flash of a conflicted expression flashed over Anush's face before he resumed reading. "Why not Ali? He can do what he wants."

She picked at her torn bottom lip, "that's not the point! We barely even see him anymore! It's not fair."

Anush didn't answer her. He just continued reading.

A flash of anger burned through Alyssa immediately felt her chest getting tight and her heart racing. Being ignored was something that triggered her. Feelings of shame and the pain of rejection washed through her body, overwhelming her senses.

Mom are you listening?

No I'm busy. Some of us have more importent things to worry about then some ridiculous television show, such as the job that keeps a roof over your head!  Honestly Alyssa-

"Shut up!" She shouted into the air before she could stop herself. Anush looked up in shock along with everyone else in the room but she ignored them and swung herself to the side to sit on Anush's lap, straddling it.

If she was more aware of her surroundings Alyssa would have realized how inappropriate this was but she was barely registering the feeling of her own body as she grabbed Anush's chin. Everything was numb.

"You're not listening to me." She said carefully, looking him directly in the eyes.

He stared back at her, confused and...

Afraid?

"Ali," he protested. She hissed.

"Don't call me that!" She cried. Her entire body shook with fury. She could barely register what she was doing. "It's Alyssa. It's Alyssa when I'm pissed at you."

She could hear whispers from behind her. Or at least she was pretty sure they were in the room.

"Bitch flipped out!" A girl's voice cackled.

"Wait hang on I've gotta film this," another voice chimed in.

Alyssa scoffed, refusing to pay them any mind.

Parasites.

Anush looked guilty now. "Alyssa I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ignore you." He sounded genuine. Ali took some deep breaths. She was still angry but it was manageable now. Her awareness came back to her.

She was sitting on Anush's lap.

Fuck she was sitting on Anush's lap!!!

She jumped off of him as fast as she could. Everyone was still staring at her. The boy filming with his phone instantly put it down.

She marched up to him with faked casualness and smiled the way she had practiced in the mirror a thousand times when she was younger. A slickly sweet smile designed for making people do what she wanted.

Then she punched him in the stomach.

Alyssa smiled at him as he doubled over in pain. "Delete the video," she told him casually.

Ali didn't wait for a response before she strode out of the common room.

Alyssa didn't really get Ty's thing with sex. I mean sure she understood it. Sex was great with the right partner, but Ty was almost militant about it. The way he seemed to breeze through person after person after person. Like he was looking for something. Or trying to escape from something.

Ali wasn't really sure.

After the one time they hooked up Alyssa thought it best to return to her "no sleeping with shadowhunters" rule. Plus she didn't want to get in the way of Ty potentially getting into a romantic relationship. Which wasn't something she was interested in. Plus Ty seemed to like boys more anyways.

Alyssa had always loved the idea of romantic love. The storybook fairytale. It was weirdly compelling. But in reality it wasnt something she had ever felt or related to. She thought it was. She once thought she was in love. But looking back now she isn't sure what she felt for her first and only girlfriend was romantic.

She couldn't even really remember having crushes. She would just pick people she wanted to be friends with. She used to think that was the same thing. Honestly she still did.

Alyssa was walking down the hall and saw Ty and the pretty boy from before standing just around the corner arguing and immediately hid behind the wall.

Not that she was trying to spy on Ty. Just that she didn't want to interrupt and find herself in the middle of an awkward situation.

"I don't know why you didn't tell me about this!" Pretty boy shouted.  Alyssa slowly peeped her head around the corner as discreetly as she could. He looked furious, practically frothing at the mouth but Ty looked relatively unbothered like always.

Classic.

Alyssa knew Ty could handle any jerk that got rough with him but angry men still made her blood freeze and her chest tighten. She pressed her palm to her racing heart and willed herself to breathe.

"I don't understand why this bothers you so much," said Ty, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.  The other man's eyes widened, then he laughed a humourless and cold chuckle.

"You don't understand why it bothers me that you're engaged to a Herondale?" He shouted. "Are you fucking serious? I almost- I mean we almost-" he cut himself off.

What?? Now Alyssa was completely lost. Ty definitely wasn't engaged. He would have told her. They told each other everything. It seemed that Ty was equally as confused by this information as she saw him glance to his side slightly, probably looking at Livvy as if to silently ask what the hell was going on.

Alyssa tried to stifle a giggle as she watched Ty's expression change slightly as he silently argued with Livvy who was invisible to everyone but him. Pretty boy raised an eyebrow as he tried to follow Ty's gaze to see what he was looking at but only saw empty air.

Ty sighed loudly. "I can assure that I am definitely not engaged. I promise." He assured the other man. "I'm not sure who told you that but it isn't true."

Pretty boy scoffed. "Are you kidding me? "Nobody had to tell me, genius! You wear his symbol around his neck! And it obviously can't be Jace so my money's on the lost Herondale."

Oh no. Alyssa sucked in a breath. They never talked about Kit. Ty had told her and Anush the bare minimum, that they were close and then he left and obviously Ty was still hurting but he never talked about it. He refused to.

Ty was frozen. He stared blankly at the other boy, his face not betraying a single emotion. But Alyssa knew better. She understood the chaos going on inside. She understood it because she had felt it too.

Before she even realized what she was doing she marched out of her hiding place towards the two boys. The other one startled at the sight of her but Ty showed no reaction or any hint of surprise, almost as of he had known she was there the entire time.

Before she had time to think or formulate a plan, her mouth was moving. This was pretty common for her.

"Hey asshole!" She shouted. "What the fuck are you doing yelling at my friend like this?" He obviously wasn't trying to trick you, why aren't you letting him explain?"

Pretty boy opened his mouth to retort but Alyssa kept going. Once the fire started there was little anyone could do except let it burn.

"No fuck you, you're really gonna stand there and accuse him of being a cheater when you know nothing about him?" Alyssa snapped. "You can fuck off then."

A small smile formed on Ty's face. And that was all she really needed.

Her attention was brought back to fuckface when he sneered at them both. "Oh I know enough. People talk. He's the kind of whore that'll give it up for just about anyone." He smirked. "Of course somebody that easy would-"

He didn't get to finish his sentence before Alyssa punched him in the nose.

"Ali!" Ty protested, but it it sounded half hearted.

"Crazy bitch!" The boy cried, clutching his bleeding face.

Alyssa cackled with glee. She would never tell anyone this but she loved violence. Loved fighting and the feeling of her blood pumping.

"That's right," she proudly declared. "I am a crazy bitch. Now get out of here."

The boy ran off with a final glare and Ty rolled his eyes at her. "Must you always escalate the situation?" He asked. "I was handling it."

"I handled it first," she pointed out. He was staring off to the side again scowling at what was probably Livvy. Then he broke into a smile.

She wished she could hear what Livvy was saying. She always wished she could hear what Livvy was saying.

Ty turned his gaze back to her and smiled. "Thank you Ali."

Alyssa broke into a grin. "You're welcome Sherlock" she replied, twitching her nose at him. She wasn't exactly sure what caused her to do it.  It just felt like the thing to do.

But Ty understood like he usually did, and when he twitched his nose back at her, Alyssa felt so full.

Full of light.

Fyi for those of you who don't know C-PTSD causes emotional flashbacks which are basically triggered by being in situations that cause the same emotions you felt when the trauma occurred such as feelings of anger, helplessness, fear and sadness.

I will try and upload a chapter every few days.

Sea Games 2019: PHL vs VIE Volleyball Women's Opener

In the opener, the Philippine women's volleyball team falls short, but not after dragging Vietnam to a five-set thriller favorite. MANILA, Philippines-The Philippine women's volleyball team put up a strong fight, but on Tuesday, December 3, Vietnam proved steadier in the decision to hack out a 21-25, 25-23, 25-19, 20-25, 15-8 decision at the Phil Sports Arena at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games. The team of coach Shaq Delos Santos faded in the deciding set, putting the Filipinos in a must-win match against defending champion Thailand on Thursday, unable to ride the momentum of a solid fourth set performance. The Filipinas got undone when the Vietnamese staged a game-sealing 7-1 run capped by back-to-back blocks on Alyssa Valdez to take a massive 13-7 lead with Sill locked in a 6-all tie in the 5th set. Valdez then ended the match as the 15-8 finish sailed out for her crosscourt hit. In the opening frame, the Filipinas, however, stunned the favored Vietnamese, 25-21, but the visitors came alive from the leadership of young star "T4" Thi Thanh Thuy Tran, escaping the 2nd set, 25-23, then taking the third in convincing fashion, 25-19. The Philippines, however, then started strong on the 4th in their comeback attempt, netting Jovelyn Gonzaga and Valdez a 10-4 edge off the lead. Although Vietnam tied it up, 13-all, on the 4th, 25-20, the Philippines finally ran away. In the final frame, Vietnam then cranked up the defense, with 4 of their first 6 points coming off blocks. As Valdez led the losing effort with 22 markers, T4 stamped her supremacy on the Filipinas with a triple-double of 27 points, 13 digs and 13 receptions. With 27 points, 13 digs and 13 receptions, Thi Thanh Thuy Tranh sparkled at both ends for Vietnam, while Thi Xuan Nguyen and Thi Nga Bui had 15 and 14 points respectively. Alyssa Valdez tossed 22 points in front of a crowd of 6,000, while Cess Molina and Jovelyn Gonzaga each added 12 Filipino points. After Molina set the hosts at set stage, the Philippines took the first set in 30 minutes with Majoy Baron scoring on a block. 20-24 down, the Philippines came in 23-24 only for the Vietnamese to win a net joust. A net call that proved ineffective was challenged by Delos Santos, tying the match at one set apiece. The Filipinos were moved to set point, 24-19, in the fourth frame by a Valdez hit followed by a Xuan mistake. With another down the line strike, Valdez sealed the set, sending the match to a fifth and deciding frame. In the fifth, the net defense of Vietnam took over as it neutralized Gonzaga and Valdez. For the Filipinos, who needed to finish in the Top 2 at the end of the classification process for a shot at the gold medal, the clash against the 2017 bronze medalist Vietnam was necessary. This was a must-win game for us Valdez said. Unfortunately they lost, they were hoping for a better game against Thailand however they stay positive and they really did put their heart in the match against Thailand.

Ty Blackthorn

My Notp: Honestly idk. I want kitty to be endgame but I'm honestly not opposed to him being with other people before TWP or even during the first book of twp. I would say probably Ty x Ash though. Because that straight up does not make sense no matter what.

My brotp: Probably Tynush or Ty x Dru honestly I really want Ty and Dru to develop their relationship more. Also not to shove my OC's in the mix but obviously my main brotp is Ty x Alyssa.

My otp: I think this is pretty obvious. Otp how beautiful. Otp hold me, put your arms around me. Otp I don't mind if it's you.

My second choice pairing for them: Absolutely not. I will not settle. Kitty or bust.

My fluffy pairing for them: Again, kitty. Kitty are super fluffy and adorable when they are given the opportunity to be.

My angsty pairing for them: Again this could also be kitty, but I pose a second option to avoid this getting boring. Ty x Thule Kit. Again I blame The Price We Paid for this idea. Imagine Thule Kit intending to come after Kit and destroy his life by destroying what he holds dear, but when he meets Ty he begins to develop feelings.

And Ty knows that it's wrong because he's "the bad guy" but he can't help but feel sorry for everything this version of Kit has gone through. All of the pain and anguish of Kit's upbringing mixed with living in a world where Sebastian won and took over. Ty can't help but feel compelled. And there is something rather seductive, rather enticing about being the only thing that someone cares about. Their sole focus. Theres apart of Ty that still resents Kit for leaving and even maybe feels a little jealous of the new family he has.

And it's stupid, and entirely unhealthy. Ty knows that. But there's apart of him that likes being obsessed over, being the center of someone's world. It goes back to old trauma, old insecurities. He always had to share Julian and Livvy and all of his siblings, his parents and now even Kit. So it's a little intoxicating, feeling like someone needs you more than anything else in the world.

But eventually Ty learns that obsession does not equal love and obsession means control. And Ty DOES NOT want to be controlled. And he knows what's right and what's wrong and this is wrong.

But still...

My favourite poly ship for them: Honestly no idea. I kind of want kitty to just stay..them and no one else. I can't see anyone else fitting into their dynamic.

My weirdest pairing for them: Ok this is strange but Ty x Jaime for some reason? I dig it. They are super different but idk. Jaime is kind of like Kit in a lot of ways and y'all know how I feel about Kit and Ty so.... Also my second option for this would be Ty and my OC Alyssa because I'm just so obsessed with their dynamic. I love writing it. And what can I say I'm a sucker for autistic x autistic love.

Well that was certainly a lot. Sorry lol. Just remember, kitty supremacy and all that
