You’re seriously telling me that Eleanor Livia Blackthorn Penhallow won’t be best friends with Mina Carstairs? And that Max won’t eventually join their friendship group? And that Kit and Ty won’t have to endure extreme awkwardness because our girls just want to see each other? @penhallowblackthorn

After the recent post Cassie made about the Blackthorns reacting to Emma and Julian dating, I started writing this:

Trigger warning: this is a tear-jerker.

…

Helen:

She would feel overwhelming love and a sense of sorrow after learning what Julian and Emma had to endure, while concealing their love.

She would create an album with a compilation of pictures from their travel year abroad.

As a joke, she would buy them duvet covers for married couples, during the early years of their relationship, with pillowcases that say ‘Mr’ and ‘Mrs.’

She would be the sort of person to hang mistletoe over both their heads, even though it’s not Christmas.

She would volunteer to babysit the children, while they go on dates, midnight strolls and patrols.

Aline:

At first, she would appear to be shocked at the news, and then impressed because they’d been able to survive the heavenly fire.

She’s the sort of person to say, “I fucking knew it,” about their relationship, even when she might not have.

She would catch them in the hallways of the institute, constantly displaying affection, and deliberately embarrasses them by saying, “Get a room!”

She would pretend to gag every time they come up with cheesy, romantic remarks about each other.

She would buy them personalised gifts, such as a projection that emits the words, “I’m glad I’m not your parabatai anymore,” for their bedroom.

Ty:

He would be happy but a little confused as to why the two of them couldn’t be together sooner.

After reading the shadowhunter codex and other academic writing, Ty would become frustrated that none of them explain the dangers of parabatai relationships.

His hands would grow tired and he loses sleep over researching forbidden love between parabatai.

He finally decides that once he starts studying at the Scholomance, he would be able to have access to more and well-versed books.

He would want to find a way for parabatai, who fall in love, to break their bond without any risks and consequences to themselves and people around them.

Drusilla:

She would be very excited after learning about their relationship, even more so than most members in the family.

She would buy them a jar of love hearts, which are one of Emma’s favourite sweets, and they keep it in their bedroom.

She would buy them ‘he’s mine,’ and ‘she’s mine’ mugs for their one-year anniversary, to show how committed they are.

She would spend hours with Emma, choosing outfits for their dates, even though they both have different styles.

She would often be defensive of them, when other people express disapproval of their relationship.

Tavvy:

He would be as excited as Drusilla, because he loves Julian as a father, and Emma has always seemed like a mother figure to him.

He would spend most of the time drawing pictures of the two of them, using Julian’s blank canvases and paints.

He would insist that Julian and Emma hang all his drawings on their bedroom walls.

During every important occasion such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, he would write them a card, with an adorable poem he finds off the internet.

His nightmares are less frequent, but whenever they occur, he would be relieved when both of them decide to stay in his room even after they officially become a couple.

Ghost Livia:

She would be both cheerful and sad. She is happy for them, but upset that she could never be there to share their joy.

She would create a notebook of all the different ideas for their wedding, even though no one would ever read it.

She would make notes of where she wants the wedding and the different colour themes.

She would make a list of baby names, both girls and boys. Although, her favourites are: Eleanor, Cordelia, Arthur and Andrew.

The only people she could communicate with are Ty and Kit, who would reiterate every thought she has about Julian and Emma’s relationship.

...

This is set after ‘The wicked powers,’ where Julian and Emma are newly engaged.

It was dinner time and Kit Herondale sat at the kitchen table with the other inhabitants of the Los Angeles institute.

Everyone was excited about the impending wedding of Julian and Emma, as they contributed to a long conversation about party planning.

Kit was happy for the couple but wished he was anywhere else when Drusilla and Helen started talking about flower arrangements.

He could see the same look of boredom reflected in Ty’s eyes.

As his gaze wondered around the room, he noticed the slow formation of a phantom.

It was Livia.

She wore the same white dress she had on the day of her funeral, her locket gleamed from the base of her throat and her hair was decorated liberally with daisies.

She sat on the table top beside the sink and looked at him with a smile, “What are they talking about?”

“Julian and Emma’s wedding,” Kit said.

“Oooh! Tell them a maroon theme would be lovely,” she said.

Before Kit could reply he heard Drusilla questioning him, “Kit, who are you talking to?”

He cleared his throat, “Livia... she said a balloon theme would be great for the wedding.”

“Balloons?” Emma said with a frown.

“You fool,” Livia chided, “I said ‘maroon,’ not ‘balloon.’”

Kit corrected himself hastily, “I mean maroon, as in, the colour maroon.”

“Oh,” Julian said.

They all burst out laughing, even Kit, but not before he noticed a glimmer of tears behind Julian’s eyes.

…

On a side note, the daisies in Livia’s hair were placed there by Cordelia Carstairs.

“Helen feels like she needs to be a great Shadowhunter, to prove her faerie blood doesn’t make her prejudiced in favor of Downworlders… and part of why she wants that is that she doesn’t want to be an obstacle for any of her little brothers and sisters, who she loves so much. She wants to make her dad and her family proud of her, and to honor the memory of Eleanor Blackthorn, the human mother who took her and Mark in, and raised them as her own.”

- Cassandra Clare

This is especially heartbreaking considering the Clave exiles Helen because of her faerie blood I’m literally on the floor sobbing right now!

Mina Carstairs and Haline baby, parabatai headcanons

{ as requested by @daisyherxndale hope you enjoy!}

Around the time Mina was born, Helen and Aline adopted a shadowhunter baby girl and named her Eleanor Blackthorn-Penhallow

Tessa and Jem would travel to the LA instution to see Emma and Julian as well as Dru, Tavvy, Helen and Aline. During those travels, Mina met Eleanor

Due to living across the sea from one another, the pair would video call one another and text non stop

At the age of 17, Mina asked Eleanor face to face if she would be interested in becoming parabatai with one another, to which Eleanor accepted and by the time they were both 18, the ritual took place

Mina being fully fluent in various languages, Eleanor took it upon herself to learn said languages and would surprise Mina with her knowledge. This results in the pair speaking Chinese, Welsh and Spanish with each other

Mina loves going to the LA institution, she thinks its a change from being in Devon. She loves walking the beach with Eleanor, if shes lucky enough she brings Church along and Kit is so thankful to Mina. Eleanor loves Church too much too

Mina plays the violin, just like her dad, Eleanor loves to just lie on the floor and listen to Mina play the violin. Eleanor isn’t a fan of classical music but there’s something about Mina and how she plays her violin that makes her fall in love with the music

Eleanor and Mina trade books all the time, Mina gets Eleanor to become a rather avid reader and gives her books to read. This caused Eleanor to bug her mothers to buy her books. Now every time they read, they swap books with each other and call to rant about the books

Both girls are the opposite of one another yet it works so well? Eleanor is engrossed with pop culture while Mina is into more vintage stuff and into what her parents liked

Mina cooks for Eleanor, Eleanor always jokes that it’ll never be as good as her uncle Julian’s cooking but its getting there

#haline need to have a baby and this to be canon #i love mina #wilhelmina carstairs #twp #tsc #im looking at you cassie #cassandra clare

Shadowhunter’s Short Story #29.

The year was 2016 and all of The Blackthorns were gathered together to celebrate an extremely important event, the birth of the newest member.

Back in 2012, Helen and Aline had decided they wanted to have a baby. Just a few months after becoming Consul, Alec passed a law that allowed Shadowhunters to seek mundane medical treatment for certain things such as transitioning and fertility treatment, provided they had help from someone who could hide their angel blood and other things that marked them as Nephilim.

At first, Helen and Aline tried to adopt but even after waiting two years, they were never matched with a baby or expectant mother, so they turned to fertility treatment. Helen wanted to be the one to carry their child, and Aline was more than happy with that, she had no desire to be pregnant, she wanted a child very much, but she didn’t want to carry a child.

Catarina helped them cover up their angel blood and such, as she had helped Jocelyn and Diana before.

Their first cycle of IVF failed, it was heartbreaking and disheartening for them, but they decided to try another round, they just about had enough money. They tried desperately not to get their hopes up, but it was very difficult not to

A few weeks after the second round, after a blood test at the fertility clinic, Helen found out she was pregnant. She didn’t think she’d ever been so happy and neither had Aline, they were excited beyond words to be parents and simply couldn’t wait to meet their baby. Their families were thrilled for them, Jia and Patrick were very excited to become grandparents and Helen’s bothers and sisters were extremely excited to become aunts and uncles, especially Mark, who was extremely protective of his sister while she was pregnant, he and Aline were constantly at her beck and call and very protective of her the whole time.

Helen was very grateful to have a smooth, uncomplicated pregnancy, she suffered some back pain, sickness and fatigue, but nothing extreme. She and Aline had decided not to find out the sex of the baby, but they had chosen names. If they had a girl they would name her Eleanor Livia Blackthorn-Pennhallow. If they had a boy they would name him Andrew Patrick Blackthorn-Pennhallow.

Just a few hours ago, Helen had woke up in the early hours of the morning with moderate pains in her stomach, which only continued to get stronger, she knew without a doubt she was in labor. She woke Aline, who then summoned The Clave Medic and a Silent Brother, sent her parents a fire message to let them know that the baby was coming, and woke everyone else in The Institute.

Helen’s labor was long and painful and she thought it would never end, but now that she was listening to her baby crying, Helen knew that every second of that pain was worth it.

“Helen you did it! Oh I’m so proud of you, I love you so much.”Aline says in a tone of disbelief and joy, stroking Helen’s damp hair back from her face. She had never been so proud of her wife, she had no idea how she had managed to do it, she was the strongest person she had ever met.

“Aline, do we have a girl or a boy?” Helen breathlessly asks, straining to glimpse what was happening at the end of the bed. She was so tried and sore but she was also beyond excited, she wanted nothing more than to hold her baby and snuggle up with Aline and their baby, she had waited year and years for this moment, and she could not wait anymore.

Aline turns her focus to the bottom of the bed where The Clave Medic and Brother Enoch were cleaning the baby off. Looking back to her wife, with tears in her eyes, Aline softly says

“It’s a girl Helen, we have a daughter.” Helen sobs in delight and pushes herself up in the bed.

“Is she okay?” Helen asks in a breathless, excited tone.

She is perfect, as healthy as can be. Brother Enoch tells Helen, as he gently gathers the baby up and lowers her into Helen’s arms. Helen’s breath hitches in her throat as she lays her eyes on her daughter, she was so small and so perfect. She had a few, thin wisps of light blond hair, just like Helen, she had Helen’s eye shape, pallor and mouth shape.

“Eleanor, hello baby girl, hi, I love you so much baby girl.” Helen softly says, softly tracing Eleanor’s little face,with the tips of her fingers. Little Eleanor snuggles closer to her mother, her cries dying down to soft whimpers and soon ceasing altogether.

“Helen, she’s perfect, and she looks just like you.” Aline softly says, tentatively reaching out and stroking the baby’s cheek. Eleanor reaches a hand out of the blankets and grips onto Aline’s finger.

“I can’t believe she’s here.” Helen says in a tight tone of voice, pressing a kiss to Eleanor’s forehead. She had waited years and years to hold her baby in her arms, and now that she was, she had absolutely no doubt that it was all worth it, she would go through all that hardship and pain again to have Eleanor .

After Helen and Aline have bonded with Eleanor for a few hours and Helen has had a chance to rest a bit, they feel ready to introduce Eleanor to her family. In order not to crowd Helen and the baby, Aline ordered that they all come up two or three at a time, first to meet little Eleanor are Julian and Emma.

“Helen you did so well, she’s amazing.” Julian softly says, gazing down at his niece, peacefully sleeping in his arms. He is unbelievably proud of his sister, she went through so much to become mother, but never gave up, and now she had a beautiful little girl, he knew she and Aline would be fantastic mothers and he was so excited to be an uncle.

“She really is, she looks just like you.” Emma quietly says, gently stroking Eleanor’s soft, flushed cheek. Ever since Jem and Tessa’s daughter Cordelia had been born, just a few years ago, Emma had really begun to enjoy spending time around babies and toddlers, she adored spending time with her little cousin and now she was thrilled to have a beautiful little niece.

“Thank you, I’m just so happy she’s here.” Helen says in a tired, hoarse voice.

“I can’t imagine how happy you are, you went through so much to have her, it must feel unbelievable to finally have her here.” Julian quietly says. He had no idea how Helen and Aline had done it, if it were him and Emma who were struggling to have a baby, he would’ve given up hope a long time ago, but Helen and Aline never did and now they had their perfect baby.

Once Emma and Jules have spent some time with Eleanor, Dru, Ty and Kit come up to meet her. Kit had come from Devon to meet the newest addition, since Eleanor would be like a niece to him, considering he and Ty had been dating for a few years now and he and Dru were the absolute best of friends. Kit was extremely protective of Dru, almost as protective as he was of Cordelia, who he considered his sister.

“She is just so sweet! You’re going to grow up to be just like your aunty, aren’t you sweet girl? I’m going to teach you how to pick locks and all the others things your moms won’t approve of!” Dru coos to her niece, who she has cradled in her arms. She was thrilled to be an aunt, and she knew Helen and Aline would be fantastic mothers, little Eleanor was very lucky to have them as parents.

“Dru! Don’t you dare!” Aline firmly says.

“I was kidding!” Dru defensively says. “No I wasn’t.” She then whispers to Eleanor. Aline rolls her eyes, having heard Dru whispering to the baby, but deciding to let it go.

“She’s cute, but not as cute as Cordelia.” Kit non-nonchalantly says, leaning over to peer into the bundle of blankets in Dru’s arms. In his eyes, there was no child cuter than his sister, it just wan’t possible.

“Kit! You can’t say that!” Dru says in an exasperated tone.

“Why not? That’s what he thinks.” Ty calmly asks from Dru’s other side, leaning toward his sister to get a closer look at his niece.

“It’s rude, that’s why!” Dru exclaims.

“It’s alright Dru, to us there’s no sweeter, cuter baby than Eleanor, but that’s how Kit feels about his sister, I felt like that about you and all the others when you were born.” Helen softly tells her sister. She knew Kit meant no harm.

“She looks like Livvy.” Ty softly says, running his hand over Eleanor’s wispy hair. “Her eyes, they’re the same shape as Livvy’s.” He softly adds.

“You’re right, she does.” Helen says. She had noticed that herself, and was delighted to see some of her sister in her daughter, but she knew it could be painful for Ty.

“I wish she was still here, she would have loved Eleanor.” Ty says in a tight tone. Kit gets up and sits next to his boyfriend, putting an arm around his shoulder and leaning his head against his. Ty was still in a lot of pain over loosing Livvy, he always would be, but Kit made things so much easier for him, being with someone he loved so much and who loved him that much, made Ty feel so much better, he just wished Livvy could be here to meet her niece and see how happy Ty was now.

After Dru, Kit and Ty leave, Tavvy comes up on his own to meet the baby.

Tavvy was extremely excited to become an uncle, he was mostly excited not to be the baby anymore, as at 11 he saw himself as extremely grown up. Helen and Aline knew he would be a wonderful help with little Eleanor, just as Dru and Ty would be, the youngest three children are the only ones still living in The Institute, Emma and Julian have a place of their own, as do Mark and Cristina (and of course they have the cottage between the mortal world and Faerie, where they meet with Kieran as often as they can).

“What do you think Tavvy, are you so happy not to be the baby anymore?” Helen softly asks her little brother, as he peers at his niece laid in his arms. He lifts his head and smiles brightly at his sister and nods.

“Yes I am! She’s really cute, she looks just like you.” He says.

“Yeah she sure does, we’re going to need your help over the next few weeks, while I recover and we get use to having a baby.” Helen says. She had no plans to leave her bed for the next week or so, she needed to rest and recover and bond with Eleanor.

“I don’t mind, I want to help with her, but I won’t change any dirty diapers!” Tavvy says. He was willing to do anything else, but he wouldn’t go near a dirty diaper, though no one really blamed him, Helen hated changing her sibling’s diapers when they were younger, but she got use to it over time, still it’s not her favorite task.

Helen softly kisses his forehead and gently says

“Thank you, Tavs, I really don’t know what I would do without you.”

Last to meet Eleanor were Mark, Cristina and Kieran. Mark and Kieran were so excited to become uncles, Mark had been a huge support to his sister through the whole pregnancy, he was always at her beck and call and would do anything she wanted, no matter what. He was possibly the most excited out of the whole family. He had been a rock for Helen through the process of trying to have a child, every time they got bad news from the adoption agency, and when that first round of IVF failed, Mark had been there to comfort her and support her, he didn’t force her to talk, but Helen knew she could talk to him if she wanted to. She really appreciated how wonderful he was to her and was thrilled to see him with Eleanor. He and Kieran were absolutely infatuated with her, Helen, Aline and Cristina were happy to just sit back and watch them fuss over the baby.

“Ellie, you love your Uncle Mark the most don’t you?” Mark coos to his niece.

“No, you love your Uncle Kieran the most, little bright one, don’t you?” Kieran softly says, smiling smugly when Eleanor grips his finger in her tiny hand.

“That doesn’t mean she likes you more, it was just a reflex!” Mark defensively says.

“You’re just jealous, isn’t he sweet Eleanor?” Kieran lightly says, bending to kiss Eleanor’s little hand, wrapped tightly around his finger.

“You’re such big children, come to aunty Cristina Ellie, your uncles are so silly.” Cristina says a in joyful tone, approaching Mark and holding her arms out for the baby. If anyone else had asked to hold the baby, Mark would have said no, but he could not say no to his beautiful Cristina.

Cristina holds the baby close to her chest and kisses her little head full of fuzzy blonde hair. She was the sweetest little thing she had ever seen, and she adored seeing Mark and Kieran with her, they were absolutely wonderful and naturals, she couldn’t wait to have children of her own with them, some day.

“Oh! I think someone needs a diaper change.” Cristina says, a few minutes later, wrinkling her nose as she gets whiff of the terrible smell coming from Eleanor.

“I’ll change her!” Mark says, jumping up from his spot by his sister’s bed and rushing to his girlfriend’s side.

“No I will!” Kieran exclaims, following Mark to Cristina’s side.

“I don’t trust just one of you with her, both of you change her.” Helen lightly says. Mark gathers little Eleanor into his arms and takes her next door to the nursery, to change her diaper.

The minute Mark opens Eleanor’s onsie, and the cold air hits her skin, she begins wailing loudly.

“Oh Ellie, don’t cry, it’s alright.” Mark gently says, hurrying to get her diaper changed.

“Don’t worry bright, shinning one, it’s alright, almost done.” Kieran softly coos to Eleanor, trying to calm his niece down. Eleanor simply continues to wail and wail as Mark fumbles with the straps on her diaper.

“It’s okay Ellie, I know this isn’t nice but we have to change you.” Mark coos. Just as he takes her diaper off and is about to put a fresh one on her, he is hit with a stream of pee, right in the middle of his chest. For a moment, he just stands there totally in shock, while Kieran tries to refrain his laughter.

“Ellie... that wasn’t very nice.” Mark says in a tone of surprise, looking from the stain on his shirt, to his niece.

“You go change your shirt, I will finish changing this little one.” Kieran says in an amused tone. Mark sighs and leans in to kiss Kieran in appreciation, but Kieran lightly pushes him away. “Mark I love you, but I am not kissing you when you smell like pee.” He says.

When Mark leaves and Kieran puts a fresh diaper on Eleanor, he grins at her and quietly says

“You did that to show Uncle Mark that I’m your favorite Uncle, didn’t you?”

Little Eleanor, just like her namesakes, was one of the most loved babies in the world, both her mothers adored her beyond words, all her aunts and uncles loved her more than anything, her grandparents were infatuated with her, Jia and Patrick adored their granddaughter and were extremely proud of her and her mothers.

Helen had never been happier than she is now she is a mother at long last, everything felt perfect for the first time in a long time, she just wished her parents and sister could be around to meet the daughter she longed for and fought for. Secretly, she liked to think Eleanor was a gift from her parents and sister.
