Q&A Chain of Thorns — continues!
starlightblackstairs asked: I was wondering; why did no one ever free rupert if they knew ....
of him being trapped at chiswick? 🥹 it seemed like jesse knew that tatiana trapped his father there during that whole showdown scene but no one ever went back to help free rupert until julian and emma centuries later.
Because none of them did know he was trapped at Chiswick. Reread the scene — Chiswick is never mentioned.
What Lucie learned when she summoned Rupert was that he was not in the ordinary place ghosts go—
…she was all that was holding Rupert Blackthorn here on this earth. She could feel the starry void trying to pull him back, trying to fling him out of this world and into the other. It was taking every bit of her will to hang on… What had happened to Rupert? What binding was there on him, that was not present with other ghosts? Was it that binding that now tried to pull him away from the courtyard?
And this was confirmed by Tatiana herself— “You have been bound, bound for so long, bound in the shadows where even the other dead cannot see you. Belial promised that as long as he kept you there, he could bring you back.”
Rupert was also aware that he was in an unusual situation, we see this in his conversation with Jesse—
“If you’re a spirit—how was I a ghost for so many years and I never saw you?” 
Rupert raised a hand as if he could touch his son’s face. “Your mother made sure of that,” he said. “But Jesse—we have little time.” He was right, Lucie knew. He was slipping away from her, already growing more indistinct around the edges. His fingers were turning pale, translucent, the edges like smoke. “I was asleep,” Rupert said, “and have been awakened, but only for this moment. I died before you were ever born, my child. Yet after death, I have seen you.” 
“My mother said—you were bound in the shadows—” Jesse said haltingly. 
“I could not return as a ghost on this earth,” said Rupert gently.
He was fading faster now. Lucie could see entirely through him, see the stones of the Institute, see Jesse’s stricken face. “Yet I dreamed of you, even in my endless sleep…”
Rupert knew he had a resting place of sorts (he says to Tatiana— “I was drawn from my resting place by the cry of a Shadowhunter in battle. One who needed my help.”) But Rupert did not understand—or was unable to express—that he was specifically bound to Chiswick House.  In fact, he says he is not a ghost on this earth at all.
Lucie and Jesse’s understanding was that Tatiana—with Belial—had done something strange to keep Rupert from fully passing over into death. In the Shadowhunter world, typically the death of a magic user would cause all their charms and spells to unravel as a natural process. (We saw this happen when Malcolm was killed in TDA, and Johnny Rook, too.) If it had been just Tatiana binding Rupert, they might have thought that would have happened, but Belial was named, too. However, once both Belial and Tatiana had been killed, there was no reason for Lucie or Jesse to think that any spell would remain to bind Rupert. They would assume that Rupert was freed by the destruction of those who had bound him. They certainly didn’t know that his binding was woven in with Benedict’s complicated and equally unique house-protection spell—that was a special case, and highly unusual—so unusual that it evaded detection for decades even when the house was searched multiple times.
Sadly, once Lucie lost her special ability to command ghosts, they lost the one remaining avenue they would have had to reach Rupert, who could not appear as a ghost voluntarily until many years later, when the binding spell was beginning to deteriorate. And remember, Lucie, Jesse and James can all see ghosts, they've all been to Chiswick, and they've never seen Rupert. They've no reason to believe that even if he was a ghost, he'd be there.
It is indeed tragic that they were not able to help Rupert sooner. They just didn’t have all the information they would have needed to make that happen.

i want to see kit going to everyday high school, making friends at lunchtime, talking a walk around the devon countryside with mina, training with jem and tessa, learning how to control his powers, finding his own style, exploring his sexuality, going to pride with his school friends and waving the bi flag around like a maniac, taking selfies and using tumblr to look at percy jackson fanart (he's definitely a tumblr user let's face it), i want him making cookies and sharing them with tessa while they have deep chats and do face masks, i need him training how to become a shadowhunter but also just going to the cinema with his friends and being a regular ass teenager, i want to see him just existing, growing and doing ordinary things
i just miss kit herondale like mad

✩ WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP ✩
All the fics I’ve read and really enjoyed in the past week-ish. Reminder: This list features any and all ratings and themes.
ATLA
illustrate the remnants of the life i used to live by WitchofEndor
Zuko's soul marks have been regularly burned away since before he knew what they meant. He knows that he cannot be loyal to his father and his nation while also being loyal to a soul family, so he doesn't look for them. Unfortunately, that means that he doesn't know when he's found them.
Stranger things
Shovel Talks by unkreativstermensch (+ podfic)
"Oh,” Steve says. Then again, “oh,” a little quieter. His expression changes; from confusion to something pained almost. “Mr Munson, I don’t…” he takes a deep breath, his voice a little shaky as he continues. “I don’t think he…I don’t think he likes me like that.”
He doesn’t say “it’s not like that.” Neither does he say “I’m not like that.”
That’s the first thing Wayne notices.
or: Wayne decides to give Steve the shovel talk, only to realize he might not be the one needing one
Peaceful Bliss by unkreativstermensch
"Henderson,” Eddie groans. “Do you have any idea what time it is?" He rubs his hands over his face. Dustin nods.
"Of course, it’s 6:15, but we need to talk, it's really urgent, I noticed something about the-" he stops in his tracks when he notices the patch of hair next to Eddie, sticking out from under the covers and in between pillows, and the way Eddie winces because Dustin's talking too loud, and oh shit- there's someone else in bed with him.
or: Dustin has the annoying habit of just busting into Eddie's trailer at ungodly hours. One morning Eddie's not alone though.
SVSSS
Protagonist Rehabilitation Programme by cinnamonsnaps
(oh my god they were roommates)
"Thank you, valued user, for accepting the Protagonist Rehabilitation Programme. Your task: Ensure the protagonist's happiness."
Shen Yuan is convinced that his favouri... least favourite novel's main protagonist isn't really happy. He has babes, money and power, but does he have any friends? Cue the system handily dropping Demon King Luo Binghe into his bedroom. Can Shen Yuan make him happy before the timer runs out?
(90% light-hearted comedy, 10% existential horror and fear because this is the OG PIDW Binghe we're talking about)
Shadowhunters
Families of Choice by MonPetitTresor
Life at the Institute takes a turn for the worse for Alec. When he's alone with no where else to turn, his siblings step up and help him find his feet once more with help from a few new friends along the way. Between them, Alec finally gets a chance to realize that the world doesn't begin and end with being a Shadowhunter, and there's more out there for him, so long as he's got the courage to reach out and grab it.
Salvation lets their wings unfold by HopeSilverheart
Alec is frozen and, when she spots what has him looking so horrified, so is Clary.
Above the fireplace, hanging on the wall like some sort of divine offering, rest a pair of huge, black angel wings, so similar to Alec’s own. The mere sight makes him want to throw up and curl his wings around himself to make sure all his feathers are still in place. He can’t even begin to imagine life without the pair of extra limbs every Nephilim has to deal with. To be faced with the reminder that some people want nothing more than to tear those wings off his back is…
“What the fuck, Alec?” Clary whispers, her voice choked up and angry and alarmed. “Alec, what is this?”
Or: Alec, Clary and Magnus go on a mission to a warlock's home. What they find there leaves its mark on both shadowhunters.
Star Wars
listen, there's a hell of a universe next door by storm_petrel
As it turns out, no one ever taught Luke how to tie a little green baby to his back one-handed, but Luke thinks he's pretty gods-damned good at problem-solving under pressure, thank you, and the baby is at least semi-cooperative. When he's sure the kid is strapped in as tight as he can get, Luke pauses, and reaches back. His fingers graze the wide point of the baby's fuzzy ear. "Well, kid," says Luke, and his voice is a little rough, but not bad, all things considered. "Carrying you on my back while getting the absolute banthashit kicked out of me, at least this feels familiar."
The baby coos in his ear, and then kicks him hard in the kidney. Yoda used to do the exact same thing. Somehow, it's a lot more endearing now.
Or: Luke Skywalker solves a number of life-or-death problems, makes some new friends, falls abruptly in love, and gets shot into space, all in the same day.
Clone Wars
No wealth, no ruin, no silver, no gold by themonopolyhat
"New orders.” Cody hands the data pad over, and Waxer takes a minute to absorb the screen contents.
“Are we—” He stops, his voice hushed with something like awe. “Do we get to hit Dooku's... the kriff do the natties call it...” He snaps his fingers and points at Wooley for some reason. “Vacation home. Are we gonna burn down Dooku's vacation home?"
Or: Six weeks after Obi-Wan's funeral, the 212th reunites with their general.

Happy writing Wednesday! Hope your day is going well whenever you read this. My prompt is scientist/inventor Magnus; he invented the portal after all, I'm sure he can create/do something no one thought was possible before
(This isn't part of the prompt just a mini rant: it always bothers me in media when plots rely on ancient spells and rituals and rigid magical systems which implies that SOMEONE in the past was capable of innovation then every single magic user just....forgot how to do that and are still? WHO CAME UP WITH THAT MAGIC IN THE FIRST PLACE WHY CAN'T YOU DO IT)
happy wednesday! it's actually a wednesday though not the wednesday it was sent and i am having a good day! very slow day besides, not really doing anything besides filling prompts and cleaning the house. doing some laundry.
hope you are well today! and that you enjoy this!
(okay don't even get me started - haha jk i'm started on it - on how little sense magic in the show made and how little magnus' fluctuating power levels made sense or his skill. or how he only has one important spellbook and it's that easy for others to get their hands on. so many freaking loopholes. like allow competent villains please so we dont see our favs be incompetent because no one can handle writing crafty villains.)
-
It’s rare that Magnus has a lover he gets to indulge himself on and Alexander is a balm to the many wounds that Magnus has been ignoring.
There’s a delight to waking up and going to his lab and knowing that while Alexander will pout at being abandoned, a few kisses will make up for Magnus’ betrayal and then Alexander will ask what he’s doing.
Magnus’ shadowhunter is sincere too, genuine in his curiousity. Sometimes he’ll be exhausted and wait until the morning, but he always is endeared and delighted by whatever Magnus is working on.
And, in a strange and delightful fashion, Alexander encourages him.
Alexander will bring Magnus bits of priceless adamas and angelic plants and magical artifacts and listen in rapt ardor as Magnus rambles about what he wants to experiment on them with.  Magnus will talk sometimes until Alexander falls asleep and the next day, his boy will wake up in their bed and pout because he thinks Magnus should have woken him up.
Magnus sighs in delight at the memory and adds a shard of beryl to the potion and then adds seven drops of lavender essence. Magically harvested and plucked during the seventh hour of a full moon.
Rituals such as these are always tricky and while there’s far less of an interest in creating arrays and rituals nowadays, Magnus has never left the craft behind. While he prefers using quick snaps of his fingers and his intent to do magic, that doesn’t change the fact that he’s created and used some of the most complex arrays in the world and he’s even changed them on a whim.
There is little magic that can argue with Magnus’ knowledge. Not when he knows how the stars and moon affect the tides and how the tides affect so much more as they drag magical power from the moon and imbue it into the sea.
So much knowledge has been lost to the ages and Magnus adds another chalk line to his floor and contemplates the image. When Magnus first bound his father to Edom, he was little more than a child by warlock standards and had no useful knowledge to his name.
What he did have was an innate and thorough understanding of how magic works and how to wield it. Magic is intimate for him in a way that he’s not sure is the same for many of his fellow warlocks and while Magnus pities them, he also reveals himself in being that much more adored by magic.
Because magic loves him.
His own magic and the magic of the world.
So, Magnus summons his emerald spectacles and perches them on his nose as he looks at the array. The magical chalk appears differently with the glasses on, and he follows the ebb and flow of magic until he sees the rune where it’s stagnated.
“Ah, the meaning of the word in modern times has changed quite a bit.” Magnus murmurs aloud as he studies the section, “intent is important with leylines, I suppose I’ll have to use a different piece altogether.”
It’s a bit of magic to erase the section and seven runes later, the magic in the array is fluidly twining through the runes and powering them up.
“There we are and—” Magnus checks the time, using his magic to change his clothes and put away his tools. He’s right on time to wake up his boy and actually be there to kiss him awake. Because as adorable as Alexander sulking for morning cuddles is, magnus prefers to be there to hold his boy until he wakes.

“controversial opinion alastair carstairs has potentially had the hardest life out of any of the main characters in the shadowhunters universe so far” now you may be thinking to yourself “WHOA tumblr user thepictureofsdr back it up there, that is an incredibly bold, broad, and obnoxious take” HOWEVER i have a case to make.
(disclaimer this isn’t taking into account the villains or immortal characters while i personally understand cringe teenager psychology i cannot personally understand the psychology of people over 300 nor those with murderous urges, im not finished my degree. one more disclaimer in the notes)
there is one singular thing that i think sets alastair apart from any of his other mc shadowhunter colleagues: the fact that he has been alone his whole life.
you can pluck any mc from any cassie series and create a web of support for them, whether it be family or friends, whether the characters believe they have that support system or deserve it or not, that support is STILL THERE. at all points in TMI, clary, jace, alec, izzy, and simon were all there for each other. alec was pretending to believe jace was evil in coa? izzy was staunchly defending jace. clary had a falling out with the others? she had simon. this pattern continues into the books, with gideon and gabriel being forgiven by institute and allowed a place to heal, with jem and will each going through hell but having each other and then having tessa, with the blackthorn siblings having each other to fall back on (including emma), with kit finding a home in LA and then with the carstairs, with the merry thieves considering each other brothers, with cordelia spilling her heart out to lucie, hell even grace had jesse. obviously i haven’t named every character but you get the trend im going for. every character has had SOMEONE, a friend, a significant other, a parabatai, a sibling, the rare parent.
then we have alastair. he had a roughly normal childhood for a few years despite the moving around, having a healthy relationship with his baby sister. but then he turned 10, something changed and he lost everything. on top of having moved around a lot and not having a single stable friend, in a way, he lost his sister and parents. it’s impossible to have a carefree sibling relationship when you’re actively giving up your life and time to protect them. it is by no means cordelias fault that their relationship was lost, but its a sad truth. he loses that reliable open sibling relationship, he loses that relationship with his father, and his mother ceases to be a mother and becomes more a coworker in this panic to keep the family afloat. by taking on this adult role so early on in life he loses the innocence and unconditional reliability of those relationships, and he seemingly never turns to them for comfort ever again, with cordelia only finding out about part of his emotional ordeals in cog, and even then he doesn’t burden her with everything. with this breakdown of the parental units and relationship as well as being isolated, alastair also loses his only example of what a healthy romantic relationship should look like, he has no real idea how a partner should act, which we know will come into play later. let’s also not forget how the one family member that could’ve helped, jem, was actively pushed away by elias who raised his children to not trust silent brothers for his own personal selfish needs.
then he goes to school, desperate for friends and what does he get? a year of verbal and physical bullying, with rumours being spread about his family and bruises slowly covering him. he then has to spend years pretending he’s awful just to survive and by some miracle he gets out and makes 1 (one) singular friend who then publicly friend breaks up with him by threatening to throw him in a river at an engagement party attended by what i assume is the entire enclave (thank you matthew). THEN (yes this tragedy is still going) we get to one of the most unsettling relationships in the series, mostly because the bizarreness of it is just… never addressed? we get alastair and charles who were together in 1902 when they wouldve been about 18 and 23, meaning we got a man who would’ve graduated college by then going after someone who would have just graduated high school… on top of that it was an incredibly toxic relationship with charles making him feel as though he were worthless and a dirty secret and centered the entire relationship around him, his own schedule, his needs, his wants, never making time for anything on alastair’s terms. on top of the love sick teenager syndrome, alastair had never personally witnessed a healthy relationship so on top of that AND being desperate for the closeness and intimacy and support he’d gotten from no one before, he had no way of knowing he was being treated badly, he didn’t know any better until much later, after witnessing charles propose to not one but TWO GIRLS while still keeping alastair sidelined.
so to summarize, alastair has never had a lasting, appropriate, healthy, unconditional, relationship with 1. a parent 2. a sibling 3. a friend 4. a significant other 5. family. he has never been loved for the sake of being loved, hes never had someone care for him because he simply exists, everyone wants something from him and he’s never felt what its like to be truly cared for. for every trauma he has endured, for every night he went out as a child to find his drunken father passed out in a bar to drag him home, for every beating he suffered as a school boy, for every friendship that crumbled to nothing, for every time his only relationship used him and sent him to sleep unsure of his worth, he didn’t have a single person. there was no jem to assure him that no matter his faults he deserved love, no cecily to hand out forgiveness and remind him to not dwell on the past, to just move forward, no julian to turn to when he couldn’t hold up anymore, no izzy to tell him he deserves better or to point out the flaws in how he’s treated, no alec to let him rest and defend him, he has never experienced those healthy dynamics.
not only has he been dealt an awful set of cards, hes never had a single person to help him through life to the point where hes not only alone but the few relationships he does experience actively cause him more problems and pain. mind you this post doesn’t even really address the main traumas he endures this is just the breakdown of his relationships so just mentally add on his MAIN story to all of this… everything elias made him endure, all the bullshit the thieves throw in his face, every time hes given up his life for the sake of someone else… this is just the background to all of that.
in short i think alastair has had one of the hardest lives maybe even the hardest, not because i think hes suffered the worst traumas of all or i think he wins the sadness games, but because he has never had a single person to help him through what he’s experienced, to love him because he exists, never had a single person to care for him through it all and not only is he aware of this tragedy, he thinks he deserves it. he pushes people away, keeps his walls up, thinks he doesn’t deserve love from others, thinks he is too damaged and twisted to burden someone with his existence, and despite his genuinely kind soul, he still thinks he’s cruel and awful and deserving of nothing, but are we surprised? its not like he has anyone to tell him otherwise.

a boat without oars (rivers & gates pt. i)
Tumblr media
"As Einstein himself pointed out. He said we're like people in a boat without oars drifting along a winding river. Around us we see only the present. We can't see the past, back in the bends and curves behind us. But it's there." (Jack Finney, Time & Again)
— — —
Pluto Lochlyn Westhouse did not by any means intend to get into a Portal accident that results in a trip a hundred and twenty years into the past. Naturally, she assumes this is just some kind of weird, interdimensional accident, a wave of unpredictable magic, a couple of misdrawn runes.
Christopher has been apprenticed to the man who co-invented Portals for long enough to be pretty sure this isn't the case. Portals fail, but Portal failures don't cause time trips. The problem is there aren't any other reasonable suspects. Actually, that's not the only problem. The goblins Pluto once dedicated herself to contacted have broken with their reclusive nature and followed her to England, where they're attacking Shadowhunters . . . and turning up dead.
Or, a little over a year ago I wondered how Christopher would react to a time traveler and the answer at least in my head was, "with romance, of course." One self-inspired OC protagonist later, we got this series. Now it gets its debut on AO3. Keeping in mind that it's set to registered users only, I'd love for you to check it out. It's the first book in a series, but the first book also stands alone.
Or, mad scientists, time travelers, and Kentucky goblins vs. the plot of TLH
tiny-tagging @faithfromanewperspective just in case you're interested, though i dunno, no pressure, if it's not your thing that's okay
