#BAMF lumine

[nomorefstogive]

I now cannot get the image of Lumine pulling a Radahn phase 2 to the Archons xd

Anyways, hi again! Thanks for the ask--amazing by the way--and the addition to the Ranni!Reader post.

Always nice to see another Tarnished; I tried to keep myself away due to my horrible internet that likes to work only when it wants to but, alas, with two certain bosses I had to xd

Goes to show that even if my cringe is free from judgement, I still need to have help I guess ;-;

Skdkdkdkd sorry, I'm terrible at conversations ;-;;

It's alright, I'm am probably worse at them lol. Asperger's and social anxiety are a hell of a pair eh?

Also, since you mention being a fellow yuri fan, and I apologize for the shameless self-plug, I am writing a pair of yuri fics on my Ao3, one for AL and one for Genshin, if you are curious the link is: TheGreatestShow

As for Lumine...

Admittedly I have three differing ideas for her. I will have to send them in separate messages but here is the first one.

The first being: Eldritch/Cosmic being Lumine. With her being somewhat based on the Elden Beast.

P.S. Also I am going to put the read more link below this because holy shit this wound up being longer than I thought it would be lol.

Not quite a god, but certainly a being removed from mortal comprehension and existence. The human form we see is merely the equivalent of a porcelain shell, designed to protect her more vulnerable, yet also more powerful, true form, something she would kill to keep secret.

She is less interested in the politics of Teyvat and more in regaining her power and either finding Aether and beating him into a coma for abandoning her, or departing the world and returning at full power to settle her score with Asmoday.

She does not go out of her way to attack the Fatui, something that will be a re-occuring theme amidst these ideas, and even offers to aid them in exchange for their help in regaining her powers.

She is also considerably more ruthless than in canon, her battle with Dvalin almost ending in her killing the dragon over the skies of Mondstadt until Venti removes his power out of fear for his friends life. Her clash with Childe ends with Dottore having to perform surgery to reattach the youngest harbingers arms and repair his damaged organs, after Signora grabs him and bails after he staggers into the bank half dead after she gets the gnosis.

Her clash with Osial ends with her attempting to drain the god's power to fuel her own return to full strength, something which is only adverted when Osial removes one of his own heads to stop her from draining him into nothing before he is hit with the Jade Chamber.

As for Inazuma...That is the point where her patience reaches its limit.

Her first meeting with the Shogun end with her vessel being damaged and her being forced to flee, anger and humiliation that a mere doll managed to injure one of her kind swelling within her veins to match the disgust at the blatant attempts at emotional manipulation done to sway her to the rebels side.

But one does not live for eons without learning when to hold their tongue and blade, and so she smiles and joins Sangonomiya's rebellion, waiting...waiting, until she waits no more.

The delusion factory, the remains of gods and demons bent and warped into a power source...a power source she can drain.

Scaramouche barely escapes with his life, and Miko is likewise almost killed as the Starborn devours the power of the factory and at last manages to shatter some of the seals upon her own power, her smile widening as she obliterates the area before ascending, wings of nebulae and galaxies at her back as she gazes upon Inazuma.

Madness and rage swirl within her, the lingering malice of the delusions clouding her mind and amplifying her own rage towards this land and its people, who have dared to humiliate her so, as she calls forth her power and descends.

Kujou Sara staggers into the Shogun's chamber, drenched in blood. Her bow clatters to the ground as the Anemo Boxer holding her up staggers to his knee, blood leaking from both a gash on his side and his lips as he looks at the startled face of both his lady and the Shogun with dread.

The Tengu general manages to stammer out these words-

"...Encampment...destroyed...only...survivors...Monster...coming..."

Before she fades into unconsciousness, the last thing she hears being her Shogun call out her name as explosions begin to rock Inazuma.

From on high the winged being watches as rifts and tears into the cosmos form, meteors and asteroids pouring from them and laying waste to not only the harbor of Ritou, but to the city itself.

Her smile widens as she sees the resistance soldiers, consumed by madness and mania due to her aura having enveloped them, running rampant, maiming and butchering and mutilating to their hearts content.

Faintly she hears Paimon begging her to stop, but she ignores her, her gaze now fixed upon that loathsome Island in the sky as she reaches up a hand to part the heavens and summon forth-

A lightning bolt strikes her hand.

A snarl of rage leaves her lips as he turns to the Shogun, summoning twin greatblades to her hand as she surges forward to at last settle their score.

The battle is vicious, and even within the Plane of Euthymia, Ei is pushed to her limits, divine blood staining the sands as she struggles against her merciless foe.

Eventually she managwes to deal what should be a fatal blow, the Musou no Hitachi tearing a path straight across the Starborn's chest and sending her flyting into the distance.

Yet just as Ei takes a deep breath, she feels the air grow dense.

The sound of shattering pottery fills the silent realm as Lumine begins to rise to her feet only to stagger forward, her form breaking apart like a fallen vase and revealing not but an ever growing stain of darkness that soon envelops the remains and much of the surrounding land, pulling them into stygian depths.

From the depths emerges an arm, stygian in color for but the briefest of moment before light swells and dances within it, stars and galaxies of colors known and unknown forming within the endless expanse of darkness as the limb pulls out of a double Helix shaped blade, the light of the cosmos seeping from it.

With the arm their comes a body, female in form, yet devoid of all other features save for the swirling galaxies and cosmos within, that is until twin orbs open, blazing with the light of twin stars as wisps of comet trail form under a galactic veil upon the beings head.

Above them forms a halo of asteroids and meteors and comets, swirling and dancing amidst a field of stars, a black hole posed at the center and yet not devouring them as it should.

The being rises without legs, it's body seeming to end in the ever growing stain as tendrils and additional limbs rise from the morass as the command of the Starborn.

"You crave eternity...then behold the eternity of the cosmos."

Comes forth a voice that echoes from all directions, light and wispy, yet dark and crushing as well.

Desperation fuels the following battle, even the Shogun is barely able to match the monster she faces, one arm lost and an eye carved out as she is flung to and fro by the being.

Electro meets the blazing Cosmos as the heavens are rent and the plane of Euthymia falls away to reveal a burning city, the two titans continuing a duel that spans the length of the island and then some.

Mountains fall, and canyons are carved, the heavens are rent and reforged a dozen times over as they clash without respite or hesitation until, at last.

The Starborn seizes the Shogun and casts her down into the ground before the Statue of the Omnipresent Goddess, smiling as she rears back her arm to deal the deat-

An arrow slams into her stomach.

A snarl of rage tears from her lips even as agony assails her senses as she turns to regard the one that dared to strike at her.

Ebony wings are unfurled, bandages yet being soaked crimson as muscles and wounds are pulled to tight, as a general stands defiant to protect her goddess from the being that looms above them.

Stalwart and loyal she steps forward to meet the being that looks upon her in confusion and disbelief, though there is something else that likewise burns within those orbs, a faint hint of...respect as she descends to meet her foe.

Desperately the Shogun reaches out for her general, only to see her vision fade in and out as the two clash, the injured Tengu matching the beast as she sheds her human form and brings forth the full extent of her cursed blood, though even that falls short.

Two blades tear through her stomach as she is lifted into the air before being flung across the city and into the ground, the Starborn actually panting in exertion from the effort of the battle before she turns to-

A scream fills the air.

Lightning writhes and dances the Tengu forces herself to her feet, a hand holding her entrails in her as she does so.

"I...will...not...let...you...hurt...her!"

A roar of lightning descends as a Vision shatters, wings of ebony feathers now burning with violet electro as a bow of lightning forms within the Tengu's hands.

Apotheosis. Ascension into godhood, and all done in the name of loyalty.

The Starborn feels her respect match her anger as she calls forth her own power once more to meet the newly born god in a battle that shakes the island again.

Her victory is certain, yet still she admires the being that fights against her with such fervor and fury that she can feel corruptive power of the delusions and the bloodcraze it brought upon her fade away from her midn as she fights for her life against the being before her.

At last their battle ends, the Starborn wounded and yet still living, her blade raised to deal a death blow before...she stops.

"What is your name?" She asks the panting Tengu, who looks up at her and responds.

"Kujou Sara."

"The name of a clan of cowards who tried to leave you to die does not fit you, noble one." Comes her swirling voice as she sets the Tengu down.

"Let it be known that I, Lumine of the StarBorn, hearby dub you the 'Storm Born' of Inazuma for your birth into your new childhood came from the storm of rage and loyalty within you."

With that said the Starborn turns to look at the Shogun, who has been aided to her feet by a fearful Ayaka and weary Kokomi as they look upon the being before them.

"A pity you were not made Shogun of these lands, a far better job than this witless coward you would have done." The Star Born says as she delicately brushes aside a blood soaked lock of hair from the Tengu's face, watching as the new born god falls into slumber but a moment later.

"Now then," She turns to the Shogun and her fellows, "Shall we discuss the terms of your surrender child?"

Well, what do you think?

I like the idea of Lumine being a more eldritch or cosmic being, and her taking the civil war a bit more seriously and this was the result.

Another version of this idea has her being soulmates with all of the women in Teyvat, well more like the central pillar of a vast soul bound polycule whose arrival triggers its forming, and her being brought to a mortal level was a few members of Celestia's bid to use her to unite the world against the Abyss.

The bond only becomes known when her true form is revealed and the soul marks are made apparent, needless to say it leads to all sorts of chaos lol.

July 2nd

1. Hi! I hope asking about crossovers is allowed. I recently reread the HP series and, because of MDZS brainrot, I am wondering if anyone has written a crossover fic with Wei Ying as Sirius and Lan Zhan as Lupin, transposed into the HP narrative? There are some striking similarities between the two stories- LZ+WY friends at school, WY gone for 13 years and technically at fault for the death of Jin Ling's parents (JL is Harry Potter now I guess), it just seems like it SHOULD exist. Thank you!! @restlessmoss-art

17. heyy! wanted to find a wangxian fic that’s well written, probably has background ships and is hurt to comfort or just any of the two by themselves?

it revolves around lwj’s line “come back to gusu with me.” and the fact that wwx thought it was to lock him up. the idea (not fully sure if some details are canon) that he wants wwx to come back to gusu is to lock him up, but not as a prisoner. lwj wanted to lock him up to keep him safe, like his father did with his mother. so yeah, basically i’m on the hunt for a fic like this!

i’d appreciate the help so much, thank you! @roseeeya

~*~

If you didn’t get an answer to your ask here, don’t forget to make use of @mdzs-kinkmeme and MDZS KINK MEME on Dreamwidth. Authors actually do use them for ideas. You may get what you order!***Your prompt doesn’t have to be kink! Fluff, crack, whatever - it’s all good!***

[alexanderlightweight]

Hey lumine! I hope all is well and that you're getting over the post-plague funk- I know being sick is the absolute worst.

If you happen to be taking prompts today (and totally cool if not!) I would love to see if you're interested in tangling with a continuation of either the bitter trap of truth or the craft of adoration.

For the first one, I ADORE the way Cat and Ragnor in your last piece were observing Alec so casually giving priceless nephilim intelligence to them while so clearly displaying his trust in Magnus alskjfda;lsdfjasdfadsf. so good and happy and all my favorite things with Alec happily surrendering to Magnus and being his BAMF-y self while doing so and even the utter delight of outside POV!

For the second, if that AU floats your fancy higher, my brain is just utterly stuck on that line where Magnus asks Alec to come to him at dawn because he wants his people to see Alec coming to his call, coming to heel if you will. I would be drowning in glee (to continue the watery metaphors) to see how your wonderful imagination would envision that scene occurring and what Magnus (and Magnus' people!) would think of Alec acquiescing to Magnus' request.

Hope you feel better!

the prompts themselves are compliments and incredible sweet s thank you Laws!

I realize it was a different day that this was sent but I dont remember which day and tbh, today is a good day! Mostly over the cold and my leg is finally aching less enough to think.

no outsider pov in this one, but a bit more of cat and ragnor and the magnificent team immortal because i love them and they need to be more heavily involved in this fic for a variety of reasons.

need to take @saryn-prime to a health appointment and then i'll be back to settle in and write more.

i ened up really feeling the bitter trap of truth today and its been on my mind for days and my fingers have been aching to write it. hope you enjoy and are doing well!

<3 lumine

-

It’s past noon when Magnus’ wards flare and he leaves Alexander where he is, splayed out across the bed and face burrowed into a pillow. It’s been enough time that Catarina and Ragnor’s visit can only mean one thing.

Magnus will finally have his answer.

If he was wise to trust Alexander or if his boy has so easily betrayed him.

Alexander won’t face punishment from the warlocks.

Even if he’s played them, it’s one of his own people who have died and Magnus already knows that the Clave won’t punish him for it. If anything, they’ll reward him for ensuring that

But Magnus’ heart will still ache at being tricked.

Neither of his dear companions are in his apothecary, instead they are practically relaxed. Well, as relaxed as they can be when exhaustion haunts their visage. Catarina is splayed out on the sofa and Ragnor has nearly melted into his favorite armchair, pipe puffing peacefully away as Catarina summons three drinks.

“A toast!” She offers and her soft smile nearly breaks Magnus.

She wouldn’t be smiling or toasting if she brought ill news.

“It worked?” He asks, even thought he knows it has to have. But years of agonizing betrayal make him ask, he has to know.

“It’s as if she were never ill.” Catarina confirms and her eyes gleam with mocking humor. “I’ve never seen someone so mortified and furious to be saved.”

“It should also be noted that she’s of a much lower rank than your shadowhunter.” Ragnor gives a quiet sigh and blows out a ring of smoke. “I rather doubt she even knew what the poison would do beyond killing her and striking a blow to the downworld. She seemed utterly shocked that we managed to find an antidote.”

“Did you tell them how we managed?”

“And risk them finding even more obscure poisons?” Cat laughs and shakes her head. “No, let them think I somehow found an antidote. If they knew the treasure trove of willing information your boy is, well…”

She trails off with an apologetic shrug and Magnus just nods. Cat’s not wrong. If anything, she’s being generous with how delicate she’s being. It also means that Magnus is going to have to be very careful with who he shares information about Alec with.

The Council would no doubt want to interrogate him for all the answers he would be able to give, but Magnus would rather play the long game. Alexander is unique, in more ways than one and while he doubts that his hunter would dare lie before the Elders, he also doesn’t want more attention drawn to him.

Not before Magnus is completely sure.

Magnus’ heart has been wounded too many times for this one action to convince him, but it has done what he hoped.

Catarina and Ragnor are both now willing to give Alexander a chance, a real chance and that is worth more to Magnus than anything else.

— Alec is beginning to think that he’s never going to wake up with Magnus wrapped around him, or wrapped around Magnus. Every time he thinks he’s going to be able to enjoy sunlight and warm, bare skin and golden eyes, something comes up.

Alec is almost ready to just haul Magnus back to bed, but he doesn’t think they’re quite there yet.

It’s with careful consideration that he bites his lip hard enough to bleed. Instantly, the nearly scalding feeling of Magnus’ blood working through his veins lights up. He enjoy it for a few seconds as it heals the damage and then its gone… and no Magnus appears after it.

Alec follows the tug of his bond with Magnus, teeth playing with his lip — which burns in admonishment — and finds himself holding back a soft chuckle. Magnus’ friend Ragnor — someone who Alec knows is a highly revered potion master — is asleep in an armchair. He’s blowing smoke rings as he snores and Magnus and Catarina — who Alec knows is an incredibly talented and powerful healer — are splayed out together on the couch.

Magnus appears to be trying to give her a foot massage, but she’s asleep and his eyes are slipping shut, head nodding forward.

Alec huffs another silent breath of laughter and — with all the skill that he was once taught in order to be a better killer — collects several of Magnus’ extravagant throws.

Because Alec is nothing if not petty, he very carefully lays the cabbage green monstrosity of a tartan throw on Ragnor. Careful not to get close enough that the warlock wakes and thinks it an attack and then settles the large umber blanket over Catarina and Magnus both.

While he’s careful not to touch either of Magnus’ friends, he can’t help but settle a pillow under Magnus head and smooths the hair falling into his eyes away.

It’s a gentle, whisper of a kiss that he presses to Magnus’ hair and then he grabs the book he’d left on the table the night before.

As he settles on the floor next to Magnus, resting his head on Magnus’ leg and being careful to stay out of range of Catarina — he doesn’t know her after all — a glimpse of movement catches his attention.

Ragnor’s eyes meet his and Alec just nods, simple and acknowledging and then he opens the book he grabbed and settles in. If Magnus didn’t want him around his friends when they’re vulnerable then the magic of the loft wouldn’t have let him in.

The blankets probably aren’t necessary, but Alec is Magnus’ husband now. And while Alec is still figuring out his new position in life he does know how to take care of people. Mostly his soldiers and his siblings but still, if he softens his touch a bit, he’s sure he’ll manage just find at taking care of Magnus and his friends.

If this — being allowed in the same room as three vulnerable warlocks — is another sign that Magnus is trusting him, well then Alec is going to take full advantage of it.

While also not giving Magnus any reason to doubt him.

[celaenaeiln]

12 am anon here. okay so uh we havent talked about it cause i rly dunno how to tell them “yeah i think ur rly cute and i love it when you ramble abt the things you like and sometimes i do wanna kiss u” . anyways what songs do u think are dick grayson coded

personally some that come to mind are surface pressure from encanto, bad idea right and brutal by olivia rodrigo, and nerves by dpr ian. spring day by bts specifically when it comes to donna and wally and all his other dead loved ones

*older post I'm getting to now, 12 am anon and girlfriend are happily together, I just needed time to collate a list*

But that aside, you are literally the cutest. You make me so happy every time ;)

Surface Pressure, Bad Idea Right, and Brutal are all spot on!

I'd never heard Nerves before but now I've listened to it on repeat

Spring Day (eng ver) hadn't even entered my mind but now it won't get out.

Honestly all of Taylor Swift's and Olivia Rorigo's songs match Dick so perfectly

Orange are feel goods/exciting/dramatic story creation types

Blacks are sad/meloncholy/reflection songs about the darker side

I guess this is a Dick Grayson playlist.

Songs-

Come Hang Out by AJR - The Titans with Dick

You're Gonna Go Far Kid by The Offspring - self-explanatory.

Warriors of the Mind

You're on your own kid

This kpop song (anon knows, you might too)

My Version of You by Beth Crowley - reminded me of Tim and Dick's relationship when they fought during Dick's Batman era

Stop you're losing me by Taylor Swift - matches Dick fighting with Bruce

Unstoppable by Sia - reminds me of how the entire Superhero community relies on Dick and how he reacts in response

Let the Games Begin by AJR - is Dick constantly acting and ready for attention. Dick dealing with Gotham high society

Whatever It Takes by Imagine Dragons - embodies him in his entirety. If there's one song that defines him, it's this for me.

Toxic Thoughts by Faith Marie - Him struggling with his insecurities of breaking his own records

Welcome to the Show by Britt Nicole - Robin Dick being a little psycho and taking his team on an adventure

The First One by Astrid S - careful. It's about Nightwing (1996) Issue #134. Not sure if it can be considered canon or not, it's a gray area for me

Leader of the Landslide by The Lumineers - Basically Dick's reaction to Bruce abandoning him with all the kids and him being protective of them. Relates to Gotham War most clearly but always

Fire by Gavin Degraw - Dick's bamfness and journey

Christmas Kids by Roar - Here comes Bruce's messed up attachment issues to Dick

Fic I thought of but will probably never write

The star twins are actually triplets. In the last world where all three were together, the youngest had grown attached to the inhabitants and helped nurture a growing civilization that, if left alone, would cease to exist. But the triplets were beings that never stay in one place for too long. The call of the stars and the worlds beyond are too strong to ignore, but the youngest's compassion and nurturing nature overpowered that call.

She didn't want to force her siblings to stay as she helped the civilization to flourish, to ensure that they'll be able to stand on their own without her guidance, to ensure their future is secure. So she told them that she will catch up to their journey.

Aether and Lumine didn't want to leave their sister behind. Their very souls ached and cried at the thought of separating from her. They argued, almost to the point where they wanted to force the sister to leave with them. But the third insisted and, with plenty of promises and reassuring their worries, they finally relented.

When the second triplet sister accomplished her mission, she set out to find her siblings. After a long journey, she finally pinpointed their location, in a world called Teyvat.

"Brother, sister, I'm finally coming home to you."

Meanwhile...

A beat. A strong and familiar energy washed over him. Something in his soul shifted. A vacant space that suddenly stirred to life and completed the puzzle that was his very existence. His whole body, his heart, mind, and soul calling out to their third, to their triplet sister who has been away for so long.

Aether froze, hand flying to his chest as he felt the bond that felt so far away and so painful, like a rubberband stretched thin, now easing and coming closer.

His gaze moved to the fake sky above and if he tried, he can see a dazzling shooting star heading straight to where he is at.

She was coming home.

Orrr...

Aether is a siscon who desperately missed his two other halves because one is an Abyss ruler and the other one has been a civilization's ruler/saintess who is prone to reckless actions. One is actively avoiding him until he finishes his journey and the other is finally returning to his side. And he will ensure that's where she'll stay.

Now this is a setting where everyone is obsessed with Aether but he never seem to reciprocate, notice, or understand their advances. Then come his second sister that popped out of nowhere who effortlessly got all his attention, love, care, and doting.

At first, the admirers were jealous of the biased treatment. But then they see how compassionate, loving, nurturing, and understanding she is. She is also a BAMF.

Now almost everyone is also obsessed with this girl who is mildly aware of their advances but can't be bothered to deal with it. She just wanted to be with her brother while they look for their sister.

[definesanity]

Also, Maliketh! Lumine, who is essentially the Goddess of Death to her brother being the god of life, Asmoday, the unknown God, having had a knee jerk reaction to seeing her and sealing her powers out of panic...yeah she did not think that through lol.

Lumine keeps the Black Blade sealed on her chest like Ei keeps her sword sealed there, only she needs to stab herself with her dagger to summon it.

Perhaps she could get pissed at Ei for hiding away from her/death and decides to try and force her to value her life like Death from Puss in Boots.

She is also more solemn and calm, true she despises those who run from her, but she is willing to allow for Signora to see her dead lover again out of respect for her determination and later on allows Ei to se her sister and friends to get some closure.

A take on this would be that Aether has lost his mind to the abyss and Lumine now faces the reality that she needs to slay her brother to reset him so that he can be reincarnated in an uncorrupt state as well as stopping the perversion of life and death that is the abyss.

She also has Maliketh's armor and can materialize it over her dress whenever she chooses to.

In this case Barbara, Sara, and Beidou get to have their own BAMF moments when they get between her and someone she is set to kill, Venti, Ei, Ningguang, and make clear that even though they accept what she is, they do not fear her...something which makes her smile as she grants them some leniency, till the sand in her hourglass runs out for them.

In that same vein Malenia!Lumine to her brothers Miquela. She literally tosses Childe around like a ragdoll to the point where signora has to bail him out before he winds up a head shorter, Ei gets the same treatment lol.

Just figured I would drop some more ideas before I resumed working on my AL fic.

Thanks, always happy to see Lumine in posts xd

By the logic of this, what if the Blasphemous Claw was made by Lumine instead and given to Aether, as a last resort if she went rouge? Aether doubts it, but Lumine doesn't like uncertainties.

[multi-maker]

— lumine.

note. many has forgotten that she is an outlander - someone who did not belong to this world. lumine was fine with that, it will make things easier.

but when she sees the same woman who hurt venti, one of the people she has come to cherish, then she will shed her mortal facáde.

she is lumine - outlander, honorary knight of mondstadt and liyue’s savior.

she is lumine, half god and half angel.

lumine knew from the start that she was different from the rest. she could harness both anemo and geo alike, even without a vision granted to her. perhaps, in a way, she stole the power of anemo and geo.

(she refuses to think it was gifted to her - for when she received these, she didn’t know barbatos or morax.)

lumine was older, wiser, and stronger than everyone thought her to be. when kaeya called her underage, she almost wanted to laugh at the sheer irony of it. her, underage?

for archons sake, she was probably as old as venti. maybe even older.

despite it, she merely nodded and went along with the others opinion of her. outlander, who was powerful and bested dvalin.

she does not tell them of her true origins, even when she craved to do so. she does not tell them the wings made from star dust that she used to possess, nor the constellations that dances around her fingertips. she does not tell them the power of the stars she once wielded, now sealed away by the unknown god.

she does not tell them that one way to regain her old powers is to devour the visions they hold dearly.

how could she, when that is considered treason? when she could get hunted down by mortals and deities like? when she could be persecuted by the gods from celestia for doing such an inhumane act?

(she tries to ignore it - the gnawing hunger in her whenever she sees a vision.)

but lumine - lumine wasn’t kind. nor was she evil. she was simply...between. she will save those who cannot protect themselves, but she will leave those who can. lumine could frankly careless about what is happening, only wanting to find her brother.

but then.

but then, she meets amber. who gave her the ability to fly again. she meets kaeya, who reminded her too much of herself. she meets jean, who appreciates her so much. she meets lisa, who tells her it is okay to rest. she meets the rest, people who she has grown attached to.

in all her millenia of living, her and aether have agreed that growing bonds will only hinder them. they jumped form world to world, growing attached will only stop them.

then, an unknown god stole aether from her, sealed her powers away, and left her to rot.

she has come to cherish all these people - holding them in her heart and always wishing for their wellbeing. they were in a way, like the treasure’s she collected. they were precious to her, irreplaceable.

the day the eighth of the fatui harbingers hurt venti, lumine curses herself for the lack of her power. if she had her original power, if she didn’t charge so recklessly, then she would be able to stomp la signora like the bug she was.

but she is wingless, powerless, and she is weak.

so she merely watches, and she swore to herself that la signora will be the first one she will devour.

when lumine approaches northland bank in search for zhongli, she freezes. her footsteps came into a halt, her hands falling to her side.

she feels the same presence all those weeks ago - when she watches venti lose his godhood in front of the cathedral that was built for him.

“lumi?” paimon asks her, confused. paimon was about to call the female again, to ask her why she suddenly stopped, when lumine turns her head to her.

paimon stills at the sight.

lumine is blank, so utterly blank and empty. her golden eyes are dark, swimming with rage and anger. her lips are pulled into a thin line, features so dark yet so regal.

if paimon looked closer, she thinks she could see the faint outline of wings behind the traveler.

“paimon,” she calls her fae companion softly. “can i ask you to do something for me?” she tilts her head, golden locks swaying. for some reason, paimon had the urge to follow whatever lumine told her to.

it felt like if she didn’t agree, then she will see a wrath like no one else.

lumine waited.

that was something she was good at. she was patient, something aether was horrible at. lumine could wait and wait - only if something good will happen.

so she waited behind northland bank’s doors, constellations dancing on her fingertips.

she hears paimon’s shouts and screams as a way to distract them, and she summons her sword in a swirl of golden dust. geo erupted to life, destroying the doors and flinging it elsewhere. dust kicked up as lumine advances, golden eyes glowing as anemo energy swirled to life on her hand.

she ignores zhongli and childe - honing in on la signora whose eyes went wide surprise. like a hound to the smell of their prey, lumine did not let up.

“la signora, eighth of the fatui harbingers, wielder of a cryo delusion,” lumine’s voice is cold and dark, holding a different sense of tone. she stands tall, seemingly looming over the three.

“do you plead guilty?”

with those words, lumine’s sword dances.

anemo swirled to life, geo erupted, and la signora was forced to retreat. lumine did not let her escape, summoning a wall of earth to block her escape route. grimly, she smiles as she points her sword. “venti is a dear friend, and you have something that is his.” she informs her solemnly, golden eyes alit.

lumine moves - in a speed no one knew was possible. sword swung and blood sprayed as la signora clutches her chest in surprise. no one saw her move, not even the god of war, morax.

lumine’s hands grabbed la signora’s hanging vision and she grabs it. golden eyes met blue, and lumine, covered in her enemies’ blood, smiles.

“thank you, for the meal.”

and then, she devours.

[alexanderlightweight]

I’m thinking something along the lines of Alec being a little more eldritch being linked to the institute, and along with some issue of his siblings backing clary gets him super pissed at everyone always trying to use and take advantage of him and his connection to the Magnus Bane. Maybe seeing some BAMF Alec showing off the power

so just because of how the clave is, i feel like alec is keeping a lot of his power under wraps until he has a really good reason to use it in an obvious way. this went a little sideways from the prompt but i hope you enjoy it!

lumine

uh minor psychological and physical torture? just to be safe

ripples of magic

-

Things have changed, from the moment Alec shared his energy with Magnus, he knew they had been. While he can normally keep a tight grip on the Institute, it’s never been the same for Magnus’ wards and magic. Which, while distracting had never been a true problem when they’d only been curious about him. Now however, they’ve claimed him as one of Magnus’ and what was once mere curiosity is now a covetous presence nearly as devious as the Institute.

It means that Alec’s concentration is always wavering, being caught between his normally tightly wielded control and now being constantly surprised — ambushed — by warm flirtatious magic.

It means that by the time he finally gets rid of all the clave’s spies — the Institute may have sent the last three envoys into comas when they tried to question Alec — the magic and the Institute have started to work together.

Against him.

So when Clary — because Alec can’t keep calling her by her last name or his hunters will never treat her with anything but disdain — disobeys him again. Well, Alec sighs and buries his face in his hands and just tries to breathe and lets the wards press soothingly warm magic along his sore muscles.

It also means that he can claim to be conveniently distracted until he hears the comms reporting that she’s down.

—

Clary doesn’t know what happened, or where she went the wrong way.

The Institute’s normally wide and bright hallways are dark and narrow and she turns, hoping to go back the way she came and instead she screams, her palms coming up just in time to scrape against rough stone.

Blood drips down her palms and Clary stares at her smarting skin, heart thudding dully in her own ears.

If she hadn’t been runed she would have broken her nose or give herself a concussion… however what stalls her thoughts is that the wall wasn’t there before.

It’s with terror that she snaps around, palms out for protection and she gives a little sigh of relief when she sees the way in front is still clear and oh… she snorts and wipes her palms on her pants.

She must have turned a corner without realizing it, she thinks as she sees the narrow passage she thought was behind her. It looks strange, some deep instinct uncomfortable with the way the lights flicker and the shadows loom. This is the darkest Clary’s ever seen any part of the Institute get besides Jace’s room and the archives.

It reminds her of the Silent City and she shivers, something primal telling her to watch herself, that here she is prey.

Clary pushes those thoughts away stubbornly. She’s in the Institute, not the Silent City and she wants those books on necromancy. She needs them, more than anything and Alec doesn’t understand.

Sure he caught the demon, but he didn’t catch it before Clary’s mom was killed. He couldn’t protect Clary’s mom and now he’s stonewalling her. Not letting her find out ways to save her.

Clary bets it’s because of Magnus. Magnus probably got to Alec first and he ruined Clary’s chances of getting the HOTI of New York to help her. Alec’s reputation is growing and Clary knows it could have gotten her somewhere, anywhere.

Which leads her here. Trying desperately to break into the locked archives that only a few have access too. There’s no way Alec will give her access online. She has the same clearance as a trainee which is basically none and it grates on her, to be so confined and denied.

Her shoulder catches, a painful burn and tug and Clary scoffs out a breathe before she realizes her shirt and skin caught on a jagged tear of stone.

The Institute walls are smooth as hard silk, no matter where she’s gone and she swallows and pushes down the instincts screaming at her to run.

This just means she’s close.

Clearly this is a sign of secrecy and disuse which must mean she’s near where the oldest libraries and archives are kept — is what she tells herself.

She runs her raw fingertips over the sting and bites her lip, jutting her chin forward and straightening her spine. She’s going too fast. She’ll do what Luke always tells her, to take a breathe and —

Clary swallows the breathe she was trying to take and shudders.

The very air around her is crystallizing.

The air she breathed out hung like snowflakes and then fell, tiny particles shattering like miniature icicles.

When she swallows, it feels like a thousand small cuts. As if she’s drank a mouthful of crushed glass.

It’s cold.

It’s so, very, very cold and Clary has never had a problem with the cold, but she finds its almost impossible to move. To take even a small step as she shivers, teeth chattering as a brisk draft of air tickles past.

It feels like she’s suddenly been caught outside, unprepared for a winter storm and Clary shakes, wondering why the Institute suddenly feels hostile, like a force of nature that no one can control.

But she’s not.

She’s in a little corridor what feels like miles and miles beneath the Institute and she shudders, gasping as she tries to move and her shuddering muscles refuse, as if the cold is keeping them too tightly bound to listen.

Clary tries to brace herself against the wall but it burns — a cold so deep it scalds her — and she slides down to the floor, shaking fingers digging into her jacket.

If she’s crying she doesn’t know, the tears frozen before they can fall.

—

Security finds her still on the first level, her cold body lying in the middle of a wide, brightly lit hall. There is frost on her blue lips and her fingertips are more purple than pink. When they try to rune her for healing, the fire of the magic sputters like a match in a gale and then stops.

When Alec finally gets there, he looks at her body with a roll of his eyes and orders her on the stretcher that followed him.

“Take her to the greenhouse, the warmest one.” Alec orders and when he’s been obeyed, all of them gone he shakes his head and even though he’s in the middle of the hall, he leans back.

The lights brighten and flicker, overlapping circles of bright, silver-blue echo the same flicker in his own eyes. The shadows stretch ominously and Alec lets himself fall back into one.

A smooth wall meets his muscles and cradles him there, cool fondness pulsating through him from the magical transference as the memories of the halls become his own.

“Nicely done.” Alec murmurs and he brushes his knuckles fondly at the wall supporting him and the ward magick that tangles with his skin before wistfully pulling away.
