#lucie x cordelia x grace

[margareturtle]

I know I said I would prefer Lucie/Jesse/Matthew as a Love triangle to James/Cordelia/Matthew love triangle

But tbh my ideal love triangle would be Lucie/Cordelia/Grace

Let me explain:

- more sapphic drama (that’s all)

And,,,

- Lucie is in love with Cordelia (ofc see The Beautiful Cordelia)

- Lucie also starts to fall for Grace when they do necromancy together

- does Cordelia want to be Grace or be with Grace?!

- Cordelia wants to be parabatai with Lucie bc she doesn’t think she could ever be with her

- Grace has always been curious about Cordelia from hearing about her from James (before bracelet)

- Grace understands how James fell hard for her

- She also gets to know Lucie doing necromancy together and falls for her

- Also Grace is bi but she has always leaned more towards women esp bc her power makes her doubtful of ant potential relationship with a man

Anyway yeah Lucie/Grace/Cordelia

Kinda late with this but I'm rereading CoT and what if the Grace and Christopher thing in family tree would be expained in Titanic way like when someone asked Rose her name and she answered "Rose Dawson", so what if Grace didn't want to be Cartwright or Blackthorn for bad memories so she chose Lightwood?

Would be cute and heartbreaking

CASSANDRA HERSELF SAID SHE WANTS TO MAKE A SHORT STORY COLLECTION OF 1 CHARACTER FROM THE LAST HOURS. I AM OFFICIALLY DYING RIGHT NOW

[tys-kitty]

“You will make yourself unworthy by considering yourself unworthy. We become what we are afraid we will be.”

I may present to you Alastair Esfandiyār Carstairs

The Last Hours as Midnights 3am edition

bigger than the whole sky : grace and jesse

“Did some force take you because I didn’t pray? Every single thing to come has turned to ashes. ‘Cause it’s all over, it’s not meant to be. So I’ll say the words I don’t believe. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. You were bigger than the whole sky.”

paris : thomas and alastair (i mean obviously)

“We were in Paris. We were somewhere else. Privacy sign on the door, and on my page and on the whole world. Romance is not dead if you keep it just yours. Levitate above all the messes made. Sit quiet by my side.”

high infidelity : grace and james

“Storm coming. Good husband. Bad omen. Dragged my feet right down the aisle. At the house lonely. Good money. I’d pay if you’d just know me. Seemed like the right thing at the time.”

glitch : anna and ariadne

“I was supposed to sweat you out. In search of glorious happenings of happenstance on someone else’s playground. But it’s been two thousand one hundred and 90 days of our love blackout. The system’s breaking down.”

dear reader : matthew

“Never take advice from someone who’s, falling apart. So I wander through these nights. I prefer hiding in plain sight. My fourth drink in my hand. These desperate prayers of a cursed man.”

BONUS*

would’ve, could’ve, should’ve: jessamine

“And now that I know, I wish you’d left me wondering. God rest my soul, I miss who I used to be. The tomb won’t close, stained glass windows in my mind. I regret you all the time.”

BONUS*

the great war : HERONGRAYSTAIRS

will & jem: “I vowed not to cry anymore if we survived the Great War. You drew up some good faith treaties. I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone. You said I have to trust more freely, but diesel is desire. You were playing with fire. And maybe it’s the past that’s talking.”

will & tessa: “My knuckles were bruised like violets, sucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep talked. Spineless in my tomb of silence. Tore your banners down, took the battle underground. And maybe it was egos swinging. Maybe it was her. Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur.”

tessa & jem: “It was war, it wasn’t fair. And we will never go back to that bloodshed, crimson clover. Uh-uh, the worst was over. My hand was the one you reached for, all throughout the Great War. Always remember, uh-uh we’re burned for better. I vowed I would always be yours.”

Chain of Thorns Spoilers!!!!!

You know, when I said I wanted the Magnus walks in on scene, I really didn’t think I had to specify, that I also didn’t want every other form of walked in on scene that has ever existed. 

Cause, like, the Jesse Lucie with Magnus, Will, and James one was really bad (and gave me Lord of Shadows flashbacks)

But the fucking James walking in on Cordelia (HIS WIFE) and Mathew (HIS PARAPATI) kissing scene! 

That that was too much for me. The miscommunication, the inability to communicate and the fact that I (The world’s biggest Grace Blackthorn hater, the the point that woman is worse than fucking AIDA, Amy Gardner, and honestly maybe even Zara Dearborn levels of fuck I hate her) is shipping Grace and Christopher cause they have the only POV scenes that aren’t insanely painful to me, is terrifying! 

I’m also, I might add, barely 140 pages in! 

This is going to be a very long and very painful few days of reading.

my criteria for this was the canon ones + any ships I have any awareness of being shipped or having been shipped at any point, and based on book content (although an shtv femslash poll could be an interesting comparison point so perhaps I’ll make that later)

I want THULE Au but for the TLH Era

Lucie and Grace are lesbian witches who fall in love raising Jesse and instead of going back to the Shadowhunters Lucie embraces her Warlock side and becomes a powerful Necromancy witch (with a ghost cult)

Grace has a lab where she studies magic in combination with science and she becomes a powerful potioneer.

Lucie isn’t immortal but she does have an extended lifespan from her Warlock blood (like 300 yrs and she is able to use her power to extend Grace’s lifespan too) and so she’s still alive during the modern Blackthorns era and they carry on Lucie and Grace’s legacy of magic, necromancy, + dark magic research.

James also embraces his shadow warlock side to. He learns how he can travel through demon dimensions and Belials realm returns and he has power over it.

Cordelia gets rid of Belial while being Lilith’ Palladin, and James is able to use the gun and his powers to banish Lilith to Pandemonium so theb James and Cordelia have control over Edom and Belial’s Realm.

Matthew is with them and Heronfairstairs is real. So James and Matthew are also in love and they have the power of true nephilim on their sides as well. They anchor each other and they have James’ magic on their sides that prevents them from burning up.

Anna and Ari become vampires. Why? Just bc. They become leaders in downworld. Anna becomes the new Camille but better. She and Ari go to New York in the twenties.

Thomas and Alastair support Cordelia and James and become leaders of the London Institute.

Hey can we discuss the lack of sapphic representation on the tsc chronicles and why I think we're too harsh on cc for it? I'm a queer woman btw, nit that should matter tho

In the past I briefly entertained the idea of CC being bi and private about it bc being married to someone of the opposite sex affords you the assumption of heterosexuality and she just didn't want the public scrutiny.80% of the cast of swordcatcher being bi is what mostly made me think about it, but now I'm 100% convinced she's a a straight girl with a shit ton of queer friends and is a staunch supporter of the community and her work reflects that in many ways

She has a total of two sapphic couples so far, and I think there are two main reasons for that

First and foremost bc we live in a patriarchal capitalistic hellscape and male gay couples sell considerably more than female amongst an audience composed mostly of girls and gay boys, so she would be urged by her agent to favour that kind of rep, its only natural.

But the second and perhaps most important reason is that she, as a straight woman, doesn't understand what it feels like to desire a woman sexually, a relationship that doesnt involve a man is foreign to her (lets also not forget she is a gen x, shes fantastically open mided for that age bracket) so its not that she doesnt want to include it, but she has a harder time writing about it than, say, two men desiring each other, which is common place for her as a person attracted to men.On that note, that's why we should hype the works of queer women

Maybe it's naive on my part, but I genuinely think that woman loves the gays in general, she decided edwardian london wouldn't be homophobic anymore cause she felt like it, in her new world everyone is gay and thats not taboo.What I do complain about is the lack of female deep friendships and parabatai duos. She has plenty of female friends, she knows what it's like, so there are no excuses.I have high hopes for thais and dru, they are the all female parabatai duo we deserved ( Cordelia and Lucie weren't really friends.Matthew, who wanted to fuck her from day one, ended up being more of a friend to cordelia than her future parabatai, and if lucie had a bff in the series, that person was Grace, so yuck)

TLH Couples as Taylor Swift Songs

Because I wanted to connect two things I love :)

Cordelia & James: "You’re Losing Me" (throughout CoG and CoI) and "Lover" (end of CoT)

You're Losing Me: Cordelia had to pretend that she was fine and didn't love James for so long, and thought she needed to endure it alone. She gave James her "best mes", "endless empathy", until she couldn't anymore. Seeing James embrace Grace at the end of CoI was the final straw after years of slowly "losing" her because of Grace's spell

Then I threw in Lover because after all the emotional turmoil they've been through, they deserve a cute little love song now that they're finally happily married for real

Cordelia & Matthew: "Wonderland"

This song just captures the mood of their lil spontaneous Paris getaway - trying to escape reality by throwing themselves into the wonderland of Paris (also, Cheshire cat smile and green eyes; come on, this song was made for our favorite charming, tortured-soul green-eyed boy)

Thomas & Alastair: "Begin Again"

This song is Thomas giving Alastair everything that Charles could never, and helping Alastair see that he is worthy of love and deserves the world (someone please give me more Thomastair x Taylor Swift suggestions, I could definitely do better but I can't think of more rn)

Lucie & Jesse: "Enchanted"

Every time I hear this song I think of the scene where Jesse tells Lucie to command him to dance, and then they dance together, and "the night was hushed, enchanted". One of my favorite Ghostwriter (do people use this ship name) scenes. Truly only the very first page; Lucie was determined to see him (*alive*) again...

Grace & Christopher: "Mine"

Because Grace & Christopher deserved to live in happiness together and we can just pretend the last 200 pages of CoT never happened! I think of this song as their story that *could* have been. It represents how Kit brought out the best in Grace and forgave her past wrongs, and how Grace didn't think she could have true romantic feelings for anyone ("wondering why we bothered with love") until she met Kit

Anna & Ari: "Untouchable" and "I Can See You"

I imagine Untouchable as Ari talking about Anna and how she's this emotionally guarded, beautiful but unattainable figure; in CoI she describes Anna as "hard and bright as a diamond. Untouchable" & "like starlight... it seemed warm and radiant and near, but was in truth uncountable miles away". I think this song depicts how Ari sees Anna so perfectly

As for I Can See You, the sensual, clandestine romance in this song is so Anna & Ari. There's just something inherently sapphic about a secret love

(Bonus?) Tatiana & Rupert: "right where you left me"

No explanation needed for this one...

kit x grace (i also like them a lot! and i loved when kit came back as a ghost to tell grace to trust more in herself, that was beautiful. tbh, i think that if we had had more of them they would be higher, but i also don't love grace outside of when she's with kit/lucie and maybe jesse so...)

[tys-kitty]

Okay but after Chain of Thorns it‘s becoming a tradition that the TLH gang meets at least every Saturday. They are spending the summer days picnicking in Regent‘s Park and the winter ones cuddled up in Curzon Street. And over the years it becomes normal that when all the couples have already left, it‘s just Herondaisy and Thomastair talking and laughing until late hours.

The Last Hours as Midnights

it’s long overdue. been in my notes for a while

lavender haze : cordelia and james

“And you don’t really read into my melancholia. I’ve been under scrutiny. You handle it beautifully. All this shit is new to me. I feel the lavender haze creeping up on me.”

maroon : anna and ariadne

“And I wake with your memory, over me. That’s a real fuckin’ legacy, to leave. The burgundy on my t-shirt when you splashed your wine into me. And how the blush rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet it was (maroon).”

anti-hero : matthew

“I should not be left to my own devices. They come with prices and vices. I end up in crises, tale as old as time. I wake up screaming from dreaming. One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving, ‘cause you got tired of my scheming.”

snow on the beach : lucie and jesse

“I can’t speak, afraid to jinx it. I don’t even dare to wish it. But your eyes are flying saucers from another planet. Now I’m all for you like Janet. Can this be a real thing, can it?”

you’re on your own kid : alastair

“I’ll run away. From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes. I called a taxi to take me there. I searched the party of better bodies, just to learn that my dreams aren’t rare. You’re on your own, kid. You always have been.”

midnight rain : grace

“My town was a wasteland. Full of cages, full of fences, pageant queens and big pretenders. But for some, it was paradise. My boy was a montage. A slow-motion, love potion, jumping off things in the ocean. I broke his heart ‘cause he was nice.”

question…? : matthew and cordelia

“Good girl, sad boy, big city, wrong choices. We had one thing goin’ on. I swear that it was somethin’. ‘Cause I don’t remember who I was before you painted all my nights, a color I’ve searched for since.”

vigilante shit : cordelia

“You did some bad things, but I’m the worst of them. Sometimes I wonder which one will be your last lie. They say looks can kill, and I might try. I don’t dress for women, I don’t dress for men, lately, I’ve been dressing for revenge.”

bejeweled : anna (& ariadne)

“And we’re dancing all night. And you can try, to change my mind, but you might have to wait in line. What’s a girl gonna do? A diamond’s gotta shine. Best believe I’m still bejeweled.”

labyrinth : alastair (& thomas)

“Lost in the labyrinth of my mind. Break up, break free, break through, break down. You would break your back to make me break a smile. You know how much I hate that everybody just expects me to bounce back.”

karma : lucie

“Sweet like justice, karma is a queen. Karma takes all my friends to the summit. Karma is the guy on the screen, coming straight home to me. ‘Cause karma is my boyfriend, karma is a god. Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend.”

sweet nothing : matthew and james

“I wrote a poem. You say, ‘what a mind’, this happens all the time. Ooh… ‘Cause they said the end is coming. Everyone’s up to something. I find myself running home to your sweet nothings.”

mastermind : grace

“What if I told you none of it was accidental, and the first night that you saw me nothing was gonna stop me. I laid the groundwork, and then just like clockwork, the dominoes cascaded in a line.”
