A Word of Thanks

I hope you all enjoyed(?) LBAF 5 and 6. I really took some risks with this storyline, challenging myself with the world building and the characterizations. This was also a very different experience because this is a new gang and all the dynamics are fresh too.

I was so anxious that you wouldn’t be able to follow the plot or you won’t be interested in the new characters and dynamics. But as always, you surprise me and support me, and as always, I am oh so grateful.

LBAF will be back later this year. The next couple of installments of LBAF will be the last. There is a big possibility that LBAF 7 will be broken into two (because it’s huge) and then there will be the final collection of short stories before we conclude the series.

Until then, here are some things to keep you on your toes. Some of the things I’m REALLY looking forward to writing/exploring in the next instalment.

Dark Magnus - Woot Woot! This is going to be more traumatizing than sexy 😅

Mikkel Knightstorm’s quest to destroy the downworld - and the impact it’s going to have on the shadow world 🥲

One of the next gen gang trying to rebuild the Alliance with Joseph’s help 🥹

“Do you really hate me that much?” Arthur asked him in a whisper.

“I don’t hate you!” Lance said immediately.

“You told me you did,” Arthur reminded him quietly.

“I was angry,” Lance reminded him too. “You betrayed me, Arthur. I was so angry.”

“I thought you would talk to me,” Arthur sniffled. “After I…After we found out. Dad talked to me.”

“I am not Dad,” Lance said quietly. “You didn’t sneak around with the man who is destined to kill Dad. You did that to me.”

“I broke up with him.”

“What?” Lance blinked.

“Kincaid,” Arthur said. “I broke up with him.”

Cami goes to New York. Kincaid meets an ancestor. Lance learns a lesson. Magnus meets Max.

Aight I'm off to bed, but wanted to show yall the main bebes from the Other Timeline. Some random facts about each one:

Story, just like most warlock children, does not have a last name. She gets to choose her own (single-syllable name with a dark/sorrowful meaning) when she is older.

Stevie is gay. She dated a girl from the Warlock Academy where they grew up together like most warlock children. Her girlfriend was killed when she was trying to use her magic before she got her arcane binders.

Kaila is married to a mundane cop (yes those still exist ugh).

Magnus still lives in his Brooklyn apartment. (We see Tessa and Max walk there as opposed to Hermes' house which is in England).

Tessa was given the position of the Dean of the Warlock Academy by Ragnor - who died (along with a few other senior warlocks) making tens and thousands of arcane binders to protect future warlocks.

Max buried David under the rubble of the NY Institute - because it's hallowed ground (demons won't eat his body_ and because he wanted David to forever be in New York - the city he ran away to so he could be safe.

“He’ll be fine.”

“You fucking say those words to my face-”

“He’ll be fine,” the warlock said again, sounding more like he was trying to convince himself.

“He hasn’t cried.”

The warlock looked up at that, his lips parted slightly. “What?”

“Something’s wrong with him,” Max said in a terrified whisper. “He hasn't cried since Arthur died.”

The warlock let out a soft exhale. As if he was relieved. “Good.”

Magnus receives bad news. Cami comforts a friend. Joan delivers bad news. Max chokes on blood.

Okay guys I finished the chapter (except for the finale scene - because I need to come back and write it with better focus) but I gotta tell you the chapter is long and it's intense and it's...the best one yet (for me).

So, I'll see you all tomorrow night. I'll probably be offline till then to be in the zone. Please keep this long snippet from me till then x

“Hello,” Theia whispered back before resuming the kiss, her fingers twisting around the front of his hoodie. She pulled back carefully and pressed a kiss to his jaw. “Happy birthday.”

“Thanks,” Lance murmured. “Where’s my gift?”

“I’ll send it to your phone but don’t ghost me again,” Theia nudged his shoulder. 

“Wait. You actually got me a gift?” Lance said in surprise. “Oh my god, is it a nude?”

Theia slapped him on the shoulder this time. “It’s a playlist. I did cello covers of all your favourite songs.”

“Oh,” Lance said just when his phone pinged. Christ, why was that somehow better than nudes? “That’s, um, that’s really thoughtful. Thank you.”

“Do you like it?” she asked him softly. 

“I mean, I’ll have to listen to it,” Lance hummed. “What if you butchered all my favourite songs?”

Theia slapped him again. 

Lance chuckled. “Just to be safe, send me a nude next time.”

“Why would I send you a nude?”

“Look, I might not be able to see it, but I like the idea of having it on my phone,” Lance confessed lamely. 

“No, I meant why would I send you a nude when I can send you a voice note?” Theia asked. 

“Erm,” Lance cleared his throat. “A voice note of what exactly?”

“Guess you’ll have to wait until your next birthday to find out,” Theia teased, pinching his waist. 

“Oh, come on, I’m not gonna make it to the next one!” Lance groaned. 

Theia, who was laughing, suddenly fell quiet. 

Lance took a deep breath. He held out his hand for hers. Theia laced their fingers together. 

“I…I want you to know that you mean a lot to me,” Lance told her quietly. “You…You’ve made me happy, and you make me feel good about myself and that doesn’t happen to me a lot. So, I really-”

Theia put a hand to his mouth. “Don’t do this.”

“What?” Lance said, his voice muffled. 

“Don’t say goodbye,” she whispered. 

[khaleesiofalicante]

Can we have a snippet plz

“Lance…Lance won’t talk to me,” David said, putting a hand over his mouth to muffle the soft sobs. 

“Oh,” Alec whispered, and squeezed his hand gently. “Well, today is a difficult day for him-”

“No,” the man shook his head. “He hasn’t spoken to me for three years now.”

“Oh,” Alec said again, and then. “Tell me everything.”

[khaleesiofalicante]

Me minding my own business and putting my eye cream on when I realized Victoria sacrificed her husband for her son and (Other) Max sacrificed his sons for his husband

[khaleesiofalicante]

“You want to apologize?” his mother asked him incredulously. “Does this boy know who you are? What your destiny is?”

“He believes I won’t do it,” Kincaid said, almost smiling at Arthur’s ridiculous faith in him. “He believes I won’t harm Lance.”

“Kyle was right,” his mother said worriedly, clutching at the green shirt. “This was the plan all along.”

“There is no plan, mum,” Kincaid said tiredly. “We love each other.”

“Kincaid, please,” she begged, her voice equally tired. “I am only trying to protect you.”

“From whom?” Kincaid asked her. “From Lance or from Dad?”

Max asks for help. Alec feels proud. Kincaid wears a green shirt. Lance wakes up.

Hot

Also hot

ALEC IS LITERALLY THE ONLY ONE ACTING LIKE A SHADOWHUNTER IN THIS SCENE LMAO.

[khaleesiofalicante]

“I…I had a fight with Arthur,” Lance told her – a confession and a change of topic.

“Oh,” Theia said. “So, you aren’t speaking to him?”

“Am I really that predictable?” Lance groaned softly.

“I think…I think you are so used to people kicking you out that you’ve started to run away before they can,” Theia told him.

“Wow,” Lance said after a moment. “You got a degree in psychology or some shit?”

“What did he do?” Theia asked him. Lance didn’t respond to that. He couldn’t. “Okay. Is whatever he did really worth never speaking to him again?”

“I dunno,” Lance rubbed his sweaty hands against his jeans. “It’s complicated.”

Rafael gets slapped in the face. Alec finds out about gay books. Lance says goodbye. Arthur watches TV.
