Bbc merlin, but Arthur has Rapunzel hair from tangled.
Uther realised it, when Arthur was born because of a magic flower (ygraine is still dead) and then cut Arthur's hair, cause no one should know that his son has magic of any kind. Like in tangled, the hair looses it's shine.
...
Okay , so...
Here is a thought.
Eyebrows.
Eyebrows just grow naturally. You don't cut them, .... Normally. Arthur wouldn't. So .... Yeah, just his eyebrows glow when the song hits and Merlin always sings it.
Bitches and Blokes, it has all come down to this. Please fight nasty.
Thanks to everyone for your enthusiastic involvement over the past few weeks. I hope this was a fun experience for everyone, and that some of you will show up again next time I run a tournament!
As I've gotten older and mulled rewrites let me now inform my fellow Gajevy fans of my personal favorite idea for them in my "gajeel and Juvia join shadowgear" au:
Gajeel, realizing he's into levy, just kind of shrugs and goes "huh okay." But knowing she hates him still just opts to wait it out and see what happens.
Levy upon realizing she's into gajeel, promptly has her own moment of setting up a wall with lists. Pros and cons. She spends the next 2 days holed up trying to convince herself she isn't actually into gajeel before Lucy finds her.
I now present the "Levy noticing her feelings" moodboard
Does reincarnated Dipper ever go and work in medical? - as a doctor or nurse or pyschologist. I think that would be funny. I'm sure Bill would *looove* that.
He definitely could! Dipper does love helping people.
And it'd be delightfully frustrating for Dipper to try and navigate his chosen profession while hooking up with a guy who's into intestinal origami and mind-breaking. Bill might be knowledgeable, but he offers a lot of highly inadvisable advice.

So basically: Alec is super magically powerful and was able to keep a tendril of the unacknowlesged soul bond alive as a kid that was making him sick and corrupting the newly formed soul bond?
and now Magnus healed it and the bond is complete and Malec are currently cuddling in bonded bliss?
Wowwwwwwwwwwww 🙈🥹 I get more invested in AWG every single chapter. So excited to see Malbec exploring all the new layers of both of their magic + soul bond.
I wouldn’t say super magically powerful, but he is powerful yes! And it was maintaining that tendril that was a king him so ill, so yes for that part as well!
I apologize for the incoming ramble, it’s going to be a lot.
Alec’s magic is pretty unique in the sense that it reacts both in the way a normal shadowhunter’s magic works as well as the way a warlock’s would that is to say:
Shadowhunter magic - no intent, only runes. The magic reacts to the runes so even if you were to think about using a rune that would make you weaker (for whatever reason) if you use a strength rune, you will get stronger.
Warlock magic - mostly intent when untrained, when trained it’s intent + spell to focus. Intent will however always take the upper hand so if a warlock were to use a spell that should summon fire, but decides they really want it to create a jet stream of water instead, they would be summoning water.
Alec is using his magic the way a shadowhunter would (largely because he didn’t know he had magic the way warlocks do) except the intent is leaking through which is how the familias rune he drew on Bubbles by example ended up being a permanent bond that lets him track Bubbles (and more dangerously would let someone track him though Bubbles, which Magnus and Ragnor are going to have a conniption about).
In a similar vein, the philia rune which is just meant to be a decorative rune that shows familial love, was affected by his desire to draw this rune to show Max he loves him and that he’s safe/cared for when he’s scared. As a result, it now reacts to Max (or currently Madzie’s emotions), which in return makes it so other runes can activate if the magic in the rune feels it necessary to do so. Examples: the enlighten rune activating for Max when he’s scared of the dark, the familias rune activating and forcing Alec run over, the philia rune activating and spreading love and warmth to soothe etc.
Another thing with Alec’s magic is that it has never been restrained.
I already mentioned this, I think, but warlocks are used to containing their magic (even when they flare it in greeting it’s still not unleashing their full strength) because it’s considered impolite. The other reason is that it could be dangerous for untrained magic - a child could have a nightmare about monsters and, depending on how powerful they are, accidentally bring those monsters to life through their magic. (This is an extreme example, but that’s the main logic.)
Alec’s magic has however been given free reign to do what it wants because:
There were no warlocks around to notice;
Even if there were his magic mostly feels like that of a regular Nephilim at first glance;
His magic is perpetually exhausted because of the bond he had been unconsciously maintaining, so that would have made it even harder for a warlock to catch;
Alec didn’t realize he was doing anything in the first place so he wouldn’t have thought of putting a stop to it and trying to better control his magic.
All to say that Alec has the magical power of an adult (a young one, but an adult nonetheless) warlock with the finesse of that of a newborn. And just like how having a baby with the strength of a bodybuilder would be slightly disastrous, so is this. Ergo, the first time Alec tries to summon fire when Ragnor and Magnus are training him, he nearly destroys a full wing in the Spiral Labyrinth and burns off Ragnor’s eyebrows.😂
Sorry again for the long ramble, I have so much worldbuilding and nowhere to put it so you became the ramble victim. 😁
But yes, the idea is to wrap up the first part of this series in the next two chapters (with some more Malec being cute) and to finish with Alec’s official appointing ceremony before we start with the sequel that will focus on Alec’s magic, as well as some other plot lines that have already been set in place.😊
