#Saphael

[sonofhelios2005]

Reading Saphael Shadowhunter stories from 2016 is trippy, they keep prattling on about betrayal after Simon helped free Camille. Now Simon should absolutely not let her out, but he was at the Dumort for literally a few days, so he didn't have some deep loyalty to Raphael or the clan.

At that point, Raphael was still the vampire who kidnapped Simon and brought him to Camille. This fact is usually glossed over in these stories.

Simon comes off so bad in these stories because they usually portray Raphael and Simon somehow having fallen deeply in love within five days, so Simon is also betraying his soul mate.

You’ve heard of cute aggression now get ready for love aggression

I love you so much I want to break your bones with this hug. This kiss should draw blood without teeth touching your lips. I want to tear you open and crawl inside your ribs cause it feels like home now.

Rumor Has It

Flufftober Day 22 - Have You Heard?  (Read on AO3)

Raphael hears the whispers of ‘have you seen?’ and ‘have you heard?’. He doesn’t know why anyone who has ever lived under his careful watch in the Hotel Dumort would ever imagine there are things they could say that wouldn’t reach his ears… but perhaps they don’t imagine that. Perhaps everyone whispering is doing so in the hopes that he does hear.

He’s endlessly amused by it. Raphael knows that he could put an end to the rumors but instead he chooses to remain silent, waiting for someone to say something to him.

Unsurprisingly, it’s Lily to finally comes to him directly.

“Hey, Raphael? The clan was talking, and you know how we all know that you and Simon are totally a thing, even though neither of you has actually openly admitted to it?” It’s rhetorical, but Lily pauses anyway to gauge Raphael’s reaction.

“We haven’t denied it,” he counters. Raphael likes Lily, she’s always been one of his favorites, and it’s nice to have someone he doesn’t feel the need to tiptoe around.

“Yeah, well, apparently a few people have seen Simon out with Jace. Like, out. With Jace. The way he’s with you,” Lily says, frowning.

“I’m aware,” Raphael says.

“We can kill him for you if you-- wait, what?” Lily stutters.

“I’m aware,” Raphael repeats. “They’re dating.”

“But you and Simon…” “Are also dating,” Raphael confirms.

“Oh,” Lily says. “Yeah. Okay, cool.”

“Is it?” Raphael asks. He’s genuinely curious about what she thinks of the situation - to entangle himself with another member of the clan is one thing, but to open that relationship to a Shadowhunte…

“I mean, I can’t believe Simon’s pulling two hotties and I can’t get a single date right now, but…”

Raphael rolls his eyes.

“Yeah. Of course, it’s cool,” Lily continues. “You’re happy, aren’t you? You seem like you’ve been happier lately,” Lily observes.

“I am,” Raphael agrees.

Raphael wonders what sort of reaction Lily and the others will have when they realize that Raphael is dating Simon and Jace, too. For now, what they don’t know won’t hurt them.

“Great,” Lily says. “Then as far as I’m concerned, the rest is none of my business. We just want to make sure you aren’t getting hurt.”

It’s a nice sentiment. It’s too nice, really, and Raphael finds himself getting a little emotional over the concern his clan has for him, even if they don’t always show it in the best ways.

“I appreciate your concern. You can tell the others to stop being such insufferable gossips, too. This is a vampire clan, not a sorority house.”

Lily laughs. “Will do, boss.”
