Clarisse slips the silver band from the tin and turns it over in her fingers once, twice. Then she reaches for her camp necklace, fingers brushing over each bead. Each summer survived, each year marked by something lost.

She threads the ring onto the leather cord and lets it rest between two beads, metal pressed against clay, war tucked in beside memory. It doesn’t belong to her, not really. But neither does the grief. Chris Rodriguez is very much still alive. That never stops it from staying.

Somewhere behind her, Annabeth is doing the same thing in her own way. Mourning Luke. Clarisse realizes the irony too late. That they are standing at the same fire, grieving two people who are still alive somewhere in the world, on the opposite side of the battlefield.

spoiler warning! my take on 2x08 with Chris and Clarisse:

In the finale, the writers make a deliberate change to Chris’s storyline that alters the emotional math of Clarisse’s arc. In the books, Chris’s betrayal is real but abstracted. He defects. He chooses the wrong side and we can make the assumption that he’s maybe killed. And his forgiveness doesn’t happen until book 4 after time, madness, and distance have softened the edges of what he did. In the show, that distance is erased. Betrayal is no longer ideological. It is embodied. It has a body. It has a name.

By having Chris kill Katie, the series changes betrayal into something irreversible. Katie isnt a faceless casualty of war; she is a camper, a living part of Camp Half-Blood. Her death anchors Chris’s choice in finality. This isnt a mistake he can outgrow or a side he can quietly leave behind. It is an act that permanently alters the moral landscape of the story. Where the books allow betrayal to exist in the realm of allegiance, the show drags it into the realm of blood.

This change makes Clarisse’s arc way harsher. In the novels, Clarisse’s forgiveness is still difficult, but it’s narratively possible. In the show, forgiveness is no longer about reconciling with a traitor, it’s about deciding whether she can coexist with someone who has killed another camper. The distinction matters. Forgiving betrayal tests loyalty. Forgiving murder tests morality.

Clarisse is placed in an impossible position. If she forgives Chris, she isnt just choosing love over anger; she’s choosing to live with the knowledge that the person she cared for took a life that can’t be restored. Forgiveness no longer offers emotional release. It becomes a form of self-inflicted harm. Forgiving him is to accept that love didn’t prevent violence, that closeness did not guarantee safety, and that her strength could not protect the people around her.

This is where the show’s thematic intent is genius. In the books forgiveness is treated as a pathway to healing, the series interrogates forgiveness as an act that may leave the forgiver permanently wounded. Clarisse is not asked whether Chris deserves forgiveness. She is asked whether she can bear the weight of giving it. The writers deny her the moral clarity that redemption arcs usually give. There is no clean choice, just choices that hurt in different ways.

Clarisse is thrown into emotional labor that war didn’t prepare her for.

By shifting Chris’s betrayal from defection to murder, the show ensures that Clarisse’s forgiveness can’t function as redemption traditionally. It’s an act of survival rather than absolution. She isnt forgiving him because it is right or healing or noble. She’s forgiving him because learning how to carry the unbearable may be the only way she does not lose herself entirely.

Thats what makes this change so brutal and so effective. It sets up Clarisse’s arc into one of the most emotionally uncompromising later in the series, where forgiveness is not a reward at the end of suffering, but another form of suffering she must decide whether she can endure.

Just posted a quick Riventrix + Andreas’s death one shot. Beware the angst

[captcaine]

Just a few thoughts and headcannons from finishing watching S2

- I really wish they went the Void!Stiles route with Musa. I feel like they did a wonderful job in terms of setting up the part where Musa is taking Sam’s emotion, but instead of making him the one who’s effected, it should be her. Like what if all that negativity she’s absorbing actually starts to manifest and make her more dark, cut throat and cruel. The same way that Stiles took the chaos from Scott should physically manifest itself the same way. Dark lines snaking up her arms, her eyes turning dark purple, and her victims absolutely feeling like their life is getting sucked away

- Beatrix would’ve been completely broken by Andreas death. As soon as she gets word that he was killed, she rushes to the courtyard just as Silva walks in with Andreas’s body. She’s absolutely hysterical. She’s screaming and crying over his body, saying that he promised to never leave her. At this point, she still doesn’t know that Sky killed him. Rosalind enters the courtyard to the chaos, she quickly subdues Beatrix, causing her to collapse onto the floor unconscious. Hours later, she wakes up in a familiar room and completely breaks down. She doesn’t care that she looks like a mess in front of Riven. She just lets him wrap his arms around her as she cries out for her dead father until she finally falls asleep. On the other side of the door, Sky can hear her screams. For a moment, he thinks about what he took away from her and how the world is so unfair. He sneaks away and finds comfort in Bloom’s arms.

- For the first time in her life, Stella wants to be invisible. She’s tired of being the Princess of Solaria and the burdens that come with it. She realizes she needs to have control of her powers if she wants to remain at Alfea, she knows eventually her mother would send someone to retrieve her. Glamour spells become a constant thing, ultimately becoming her favorite thing. She’s training and preparing for the day the Solarian soldiers are pounding at her door. What she doesn’t expect is her former best friend, Ricky, standing on the other side of her door. Bandages completely gone from her eyes and absolutely no sign of the damage Stella created when she lost control and with a mysterious new specialist named Brandon, his arm around her hip.

- Aisha can’t seem to concentrate anymore. Her overachiever status has taken a fall and she finds herself drowning out lectures in favor of letting her mind wander to Grey. She’s anxious for a sign that she meant more to him than just a distraction to his big plan. She hasn’t been swimming since the last time she swam with him. Aisha can feel the anxiety and the anticipation building in her stomach and quietly slips out of class and on the way to the river. She stops in her tracks as she finds herself face to face with the man who broke her heart at the very first place they met

- Flora was never one to try to fit in with the crowd. She’s traveled a lot in her life and has seen what friendships and relationships look like when they end. She’s finally mastered being able to control her emotions and her powers, so she would never put herself in a place that could destabilize or throw away all the hard works she’s put into herself. But when she finds herself at Alfea with Terra and all her friends. For the first time, she feels like she belongs somewhere that’s bigger than herself. She finds herself doing small things to make their lives easier. Buying breakfast or letting them pick the shows they watch. But now she’s a vegan because of Stella and loves the Bachelor because of Aisha. She chokes down the thought of every losing her sisters. Until Terra waltzes into a trap made for Bloom and suddenly her whole world is turned upside down. Her cousin is barely alive and in a coma and she doesn’t need to be an empath to know that her suite mates are going through it. Her biggest fear has finally happened. She finds herself slipping though the door in the middle of the night with a small backpack slung over her shoulder with a one way ticket to another realm

To Be Without Humanity

Just a quick little Riventrix drabble

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/41393142

Beatrix used to be able to feel the electricity all the time. Starting at the tips of her fingers, then traveling up her arms and all around her body. No matter what she would do, the feeling was always there.

Growing up, Beatrix learned control in the corner of a dark room. She was alone with Andreas, instructed to hunch over and read endless pages of books about magic and ways to control it. He would stare, his mind was always a million miles away and she remembered wondering what he was always thinking about. Now that she’s older, she can assume he was thinking about Sky - the perfect son. The one who would’ve grown up to be the warrior shaped in his father’s image. Instead, he got the orphaned girl who lacked control and grace.

She uses the term ‘dad’ loosely. Because what else would she call him? He was the man who raised her, fed her, showed her how to control her powers and did everything a parent was supposed to do except love their child. She remembers how hollow his eyes used to be, always staring back at her after every attempt to please him. He would nod his head slowly and she would move onto the next task at hand. Now that he’s back from the dead and in front of his son, she can see the specks of light dancing in his eyes. Jealousy and rage shoots through her body every time she sees them.

Beatrix would never admit it, but between his nonchalant attitude and the way he brushed her off when she wanted to make him happy, it tore her apart. Always trying to be the perfect daughter to a father who never said the words. Who never once uttered the word ‘daughter’ when speaking of her.

They would sit there for hours and hours and Andreas would lecture her on controlling her emotions to be able to control the magic inside of her. The lectures never worked, but one day they did. She was able to control it all by focusing on the feeling of loneliness and isolation. As she grew up, the loneliness and isolation turned into rage and bitterness. She was a young girl, angry at the world for taking away the family she never met.

She meets Riven in a careless act to break into Dowling’s office. He was cute and rigid and seemed to be an easy target to dispose of in the event the plan didn’t work and she needed a fall guy. She didn’t expect to be on top of him that same day, fingers running through his hair as he placed sloppy kisses down her neck.

Every day after, they stuck together like Bonnie and Clyde - except he didn’t know how truly dangerous it was to be associated with her. He was an escape for her, oftentimes she’d find herself forgetting about the mission in order to spend time with him - sneaking out to the rooftops or to their secret spot past the barrier. He was a shot of adrenaline, always keeping her on her toes and it was exhilarating and addicting.

Beatrix could easily forget about her mission - everyone was miles away from her, unable to truly watch her every move so why not take the time and spend it with Riven? His strong arms wrapped around her as she spent countless nights under the sheets of his bed with his t-shirts on. His soft snores were in sync to the rise and fall of her chest as she moved closer to him, leaving no room for space.

Things changed quickly once Rosalind and Andreas were physically at the school. Classes were harder, fairy and specialist training was brutal and longer, but they always made time for each other. Pushing her father towards Sky allowed her enough time to sneak away from his watchful eye and into Riven’s arms. Their adventures were exhilarating, running around and away from everyone to spend time together, whispering ‘I love you’ between kisses.The feeling became a drug to her and she was completely hooked - how much of Riven’s love could she take before completely losing control of her powers?

She didn’t notice it at first. It was sparks of lightning missing its target or random wisps of wind pushing against her. The more in touch she became with her positive emotions, the more she lost the feeling of electricity in her body.

Training had become harder and hiding the part where she couldn’t control her powers was starting to become more obvious to Andreas. Relying on physical combat to be able to beat her opponents during combat training or missing class whenever she caught word they were going to be near the stone circle. Beatrix tried to distance herself from Riven, maybe being away from him would allow her to focus on anything except for him, but her thoughts were always occupied with their moments together.

Beatrix reaches out to Stella in a dark corner of the library. She quickly gets to the point and demands to know how Stella controls her powers after she, like Beatrix, spent her life drawing from the negative moments. Stella smiles and uncharacteristically helps her, mentioning remedies and books to allow her new methods of control that have nothing to do with emotions. Beatrix nods and hurriedly walks away, not before Stella mentions the way Beatrix looks at Riven and if she wants to continue to hide their romance from Andreas to not continue to look at Riven like a ‘lovesick puppy’. Beatrix rolls her eyes, a small smile tugs on her lips.

She buries herself in the pages of the books and tries all kinds of new remedies in order to help. Frankly, nothing works and for the first time she considers giving up. Because given a choice between Riven and the loss of humanity that comes with regaining control of her powers, she knows that she would always choose the boy who never fails to make her feel loved.

A few days pass, before she receives a private visit from Andreas and Rosalind with the pair mentioning her loss of control and her failure to show up to classes. She brushes it off and pretends that she’s been sick for a few weeks - something light that would pass in the next few days. Beatrix doesn’t catch Andreas’s eyes briefly reading a page from the wide open book behind her.

Suddenly, Riven starts to complain of extra patrol shifts being thrown at him out of nowhere and being paired to spar with students three times his weight. Between Andreas always playing favorites with Sky and the lack of threats in Alfea, he has a feeling in his gut that her father knows about them. His bruised face finds a pillow in her thigh as she plays with the curls on his head until he falls asleep.

The next day, she receives a vague text from her father to meet him in Rosalind’s office before classes start for the day. Reluctantly, she pulls herself away from the safety of Riven’s arms and quickly changes and heads to her office.

The office is empty when she arrives, then an arm grabs her from behind, twisting a familiar steel around one of her wrists. She barely catches a glimpse of Andreas, before he pushes a syringe into her neck and darkness takes over.

She doesn’t know if it’s days or hours later when she wakes up. The world is fuzzy around her and she’s slumped against a couch in the corner or Rosalind’s office. She feels tingly and numb. Strangely, her emotions are compressed and diluted. The rage that she expects to rise from her chest never comes.

Once her vision clears, she sees Andreas kneeling in front of her. She can barely make out his lips. “How do you feel?”

She doesn’t know how to respond, but she can feel the electricity tingling in her fingers again. “How did you fix me?”

“I took away the problem.” He smiles softly and she realizes that his eyes are only empty when he looks at her. Beatrix stays still, the muted feeling of terror washes over her as she watches him rise and walk out of the room.

Her phone buzzes beside her - a fourth message from Riven lights up her phone. She just stares and shoves the phone into her pocket. Her eyes sweep the room and she catches an open page to a spell book:

να είναι χωρίς ανθρωπιά

To be without humanity.

Favorite speech | Who am I in this story? 

[captcaine]

Hopefully season 2 of The Society comes sooner rather than later. But here’s a couple headcannons for what I hope/think will happen

- it starts three months into the new government. To the public, Lexie and Harry (with Campbell) have a good and polished image and everything looks clean. But behind the scenes things are so bad. Harry is dangling and is so addicted to the drugs Campbell provides him. He hates how he’s even wrapped up in the politics and he wishes he could’ve just never taken any pills in the first place. It controls him so much. He’s angry when he doesn’t have any to take, but it all melts away when takes another pill. He thinks about Allie and what she would say or do if she knew how bad things are for him. She’s kept on house arrest with Will and Harry wants to be the one there with her instead of him, but he pushes those thoughts away and takes more pills.

- Lexie is so terrified. She doesn’t feel comfortable at all. She thought they were in an alliance but as soon as they were declared co mayors she’s felt like a puppet on a string. The guard scares her still and they don’t care enough about her so they turn the other way when Campbell hits her or grabs her. She’s never talked to him at school before and now she wishes she had stuck to that. It didn’t take her long to put the pieces together about why Elle was arrested. Lexie’s gotten to know Harry better, when he’s trying to stay off the pills he’ll come to her room and just babble about his life before and how much he misses Allie and he’ll usually fall asleep on the foot of her bed. One day Campbell hit her so hard she ended up with a black eye and Harry just froze. Harry helped her to her room and she cried until she fell asleep, hoping to wake up from the nightmare

- Campbell tries to find more ways to control them. He’s running out of pills to give Harry and Lexie’s fear won’t be enough. He takes more pills that look similar to the ones he gives Harry and scratches out the name and gives it to him. He scares Lexie into talking and campaigning, because she’s charming and smart and the people listen to her. Campbell’s pushing for Allies excecution, but It’s Luke who comes to him and tells him that he’ll tell Everyone he lies if Allie dies. So he keeps her under house arrest.

- Helena and Luke aren’t on the same page, there’s something wrong but she can’t place what it is. But she sees Campbell and Luke talk about how he lied about Allie and now she understands. She wants to believe that he’ll do the right thing and tell her so that they can come up with a way to free them. But a month later she asks him about it and he admits everything. Helena leaves her ring on the table and walks out.

- Allie can’t stand being alone. They’ve kept her and Will in different houses (theyre right next to each other though) so she’s mostly alone. She had one surprise visit from Harry. She could tell he was high because of how much he rambled. He talked a lot about Campbell and Lexie and the facade they keep and she feels bad for thinking it should have been Campbell instead of Casandra. And then Harry tells her he loves and her and she doesn’t know what to say. So she kisses him next to an open window and Will’s heart breaks for the girl he thought he loved as he sees her through his own window

- Harry, Lexie, and Elle kill Campbell one day. He just pushed too hard and Lexie stabs him in the chest. He’s still up and he tries to grab her, but Elle shoots Campbell in the head. The Guard walks into it and they know the pain Campbell caused them so they help burry the body and hide the evidence

Are you seriously using black magic again?

[captcaine]

dark! Josie and heretic! Lizzie headcannons:

- Josie and Lizzie’s twin bond goes into overdrive. Enough for Josie to siphon off of. Lizzie’s first kill keeps her magically full for weeks

- Lizzie wakes up alone. Sebastian’s desiccated in the backseat, she’s still in her Cinderella dress and blood is everywhere. She’s so hungry....the only humans in the prison world are Josie and her Dad

- Josie’s not just a pyromantic, she’s very good at illusion spells too. She knows her dad made a mistake, but something tells her he must be punished. So she leaves with Lizzie (who she ends up having to desiccate) and creates an illusion for her dad that the twins are really there. She promises she’ll be back for him one day

- When Lizzie wakes up, she still hasn’t had her first kill. She kills Alyssa Chang for everything she did and then masacre’s half of MFHS’s football team. She turns off her humanity after. She spends her time feeding and maiming and killing and hating herself for being a vampire.

- News travel fast and Penelope ends up at the Salvatore School again. In an interesting turn of events, she’s not the most feared witch anymore, Josie Saltzman is.

- In a shocking turn of events, Lizzie stops blaming herself and blames Josie for becoming a vampire. If Josie never broke the clock, she wouldn’t have been turned. During this time the twins have spent the past three months apart, Hope and Landon torn in different directions in order to try and save both of them.

- Josie finds a mentor in Kol Mikaelson’s journals. He was a witch once, a protege, and his journals helped her study. She’s trying to find a way to break the twin bond.

- Lizzie finds Kai, who interrupts her murder spree, insert hilarious banter and now they make a plan to find Valerie Tulle, the last heretic in their small coven. They find her, they find a way to recreate the Phoenix stone so they can trap Hope for trying to bring back Lizzie’s humanity.

- Sebastian joins the team as Lizzie’s sidekick. He’s so eager to teach her how to be a vampire, but casually mentions that he and Julian are from the same bloodline, explains the smirk.

- Josie sets a timer on Landon’s deaths. He has nine lives now and she kills him. He’s trapped as a form of ash and she’s the only one who can bring him back

au in which instead of mal, audrey is the one to run away to the isle upon learning of ben’s plan to instate mal as a lady of the court, with the aim of replacing mal there as mal replaced her in auradon.

upon arrival at the isle, she is captured (like ben) by the pirates, and is held hostage in an attempt to retrieve the wand. however, her anger instead of fear and general personality left uma slightly impressed and she agreed to let audrey go if she could best her first mate in a duel. audrey agrees, and gil unites and gives her a sword as harry swaggers up to them.

meanwhile in auradon, jane realises audrey is missing and tries to find her as ben tries to pacify her saying she must have gone to fairy cottage. instead of listening to him, jane, along with lonnie and chad, set off to fairy cottage to find she isn’t there. they return to auradon prep and ask evie to use her mirror to help them find her. with some reluctance, evie eventually agrees, and the mirror reveals her on uma’s ship on the isle.

cue a transfer back to the isle, where audrey and harry are about to duel each other. they’re circling each other as harry taunts her, and she rushes forwards angrily and misses. flustered, she continues trying to hit him as he dodges and mocks her, caressing her face with his hook and brushing her hair. eventually, she becomes so incensed that when she lashes out she overbalanced and falls to the floor. harry goes down after her, and is teasing her about going down so easily, when she reaches up and kisses him. he’s so surprised by this from what he saw as a goody goody princess that she manages to overpower him and rolls them over. uma calls the fight to an end and audrey realises what she’s done, and shoots up and tries to apologise, her sword lying on the floor a few feet from her. uma picks it up and looks at it consideringly, before handing it to her hilt first. ‘welcome to the crew,’ uma tells her, and the entire dock break out into cheering.

in auradon, jane and evie manage to show ben where audrey is, and he realises what he’s done. he decides to go and get her back from the isle, and mal immediately says she’s going with him, because she needs to apologise too. lonnie, chad, and evie are quick to say they aren’t going without them, and jane offers to create a distraction in order to get them out as quickly as possible. they agree, and head to the limo as jane goes to the science block.

on the ship, uma talks with harry on how the princess was able to beat him. harry is flustered and panicked and insist she only got the drop on him with foul play, with uma reminding him that that’s the way of the isle, and she’ll fit in with their crew. she suggests something else might be stirring between audrey and harry and he’s quick to brush it off, claiming the only women he loves to be his sisters, uma, and the ship. uma rolls her eyes and tells him to check the sails, and when he walks off, quietly calls after him that he deserves to be happy. he stops, and turns back to her. ‘i am,’ he says. ‘no,’ uma tells him, ‘you’re happy *enough*.’ harry closes his eyes, and turns to leave.

audrey and gil show up on the boat, audrey’s hair now blonde with pastel pink and blue. uma compliments her in the least complimentary way she can, and audrey dips into a quick curtsy, smirking up at her. uma laughs and takes her by the hand, pulling her across the ship towards the docks. ‘we need to get you into some real pirate clothes,’ she says, and audrey laughs.

meanwhile, mal, ben, lonnie, chad, and evie arrive on the isle. mal takes them to her hideaway, and tells the aks to stay there whilst she and evie go to attempt to negotiate. after some upset they acquiesce, and mal and evie go to the fish shoppe. when they arrive there, uma agrees to let them have audrey if mal can beat their newest member in a fight. mal agrees, and is taken to the docks with evie to see a girl with most of her fave covered in pirate dress. mal fights her, and it looks like she’s about to win until her sword accidentally cuts through the fabric hiding the girl’s face, to reveal audrey. mal gasps and drops her sword, and audrey takes the opportunity to push her to the ground. ‘you lost,’ audrey hisses. ‘now you have to do something for us.’

evie sees audrey and steps forward, begging audrey to come with them. harry walks forwards out of the crowd. ‘she’s not going anywhere,’ he tells them, and his eyes are more crazed than usual, ‘she’s ours now.’ uma tells him to stand down, and tells them their conditions: audrey, in exchange for the wand. mal, riddled with guilt over leading audrey to this, agrees.

mal and evie return to the flat and tell the others of what they saw. ben asks how on earth they’re meant to give them the wand, and chad has a revelation. ‘jay and carlos have a 3d printer!’ evie looks at him very suspiciously, but the others are like ‘oh yeah great plan!’ they return to auradon and print out the wand, and mal decides to bring her mother with her as she had almost escaped her terrarium.

they return and prepare to make the exchange, but uma demands that she see the wand work. mal panics, but feels her mother squirming in her pocket. pulling her out, mal turns carefully to the side and lets her eyes glow green, transforming her mother back into a human and she says a fake spell and waves the wand. maleficent catches a fly and eats it, before scurrying back to the mainland of the isle. uma demands the wand, and chad calls for audrey, before hiding behind lonnie. audrey walks forwards and they make the exchange, ben soon pulling audrey behind them. uma does a spell and realises that the wand is fake, and the ship bursts into outroar. audrey yells and fights against mal and the others in an attempt to escape, as harry follows them yelling for audrey. he grasps her fingertips for a heartbeat before she is pulled away and bundled into the back of the limo, harry stares after them as they drive away, hand still stretched out.

back in auradon, audrey cries in her room as chad, lonnie, and jane attempt to comfort her. ben and mal show up and ask to talk to her in private, before both try to apologise for what they’ve done to her. audrey continues to cry, and asks them why they couldn’t have just left her there, claiming to have been far happier there than she ever was in auradon. mal and ben leave, and cotillion happens as it does in the film, with uma spelling ben and the fight. however, instead of the ending in which uma tells the audience the story isn’t over, the screen cuts to audrey in her room, shutting her diary before wiping her tears and retrieving a fireplace poker, testing the weight of it in her hand, before she seems to notice the camera. ‘what,’ she asks, a smile pulling on the end of her lips, ‘you didn’t think that was the end of the story, did you?’

[rudestmechanical]

harry hook on love.

harry hook isn’t exactly sure he knows what love is.

he knows he loves; knows it like he knows the smell of sea salt and electricity clinging to uma, knows it like he knows every millimetre of gil’s smile, knows it like he knows the one-two-three of the waltz audrey’s parents danced a once upon a time ago. he knows he is loved; knows it in the roll of uma’s eyes, knows it in gil’s offer of silent support at his back, knows it in the gentle pull of audrey’s fingers through his hair.

all that love, and yet he does not know what it is.

he asks uma, of course. no matter what, she is his captain, and his first port of call.

when he asks her, he expects her to roll her eyes, to tell him its sappy auradonian nonsense.

she doesn’t.

instead, she sits down next to him, feet dangling over the edge of the pier, and says, ‘love is alliance no matter what. it’s trust and forgiveness and fellowship, and it’s more dangerous than you’d think. trust me.’

‘i love you,’ he says, and he feels more vulnerable than he expected.

uma looks at him and raises an eyebrow, supremely confident and careless. ‘i know,’ she tells him, and he’s known her long enough now that he can read her affection behind it.

he asks gil, next. he’s just come back from his trip with jay and he looks happier than harry can ever remember him looking, which is strangely impressive.

‘love,’ gil says, ‘is putting another before yourself. it’s selfless and genuine and true.’ he smiles, and harry knows he is thinking of jay. ‘i think i quite like it.’

‘you’re a sap,’ harry tells him, and watches how gil only focuses on jay’s long hair in the distance as he talks to harry’s girlfriend and his little boresome foursome.

‘i love you too.’

he asks audrey last, in the dark of their bedroom, his faced smooshed against her stomach as her fingers dance through his hair. she’s humming an old lullaby, and harry is familiar enough with the pattern by now to know it’s the first dance of her parents.

her fingers cease in their brushing, and she breathes in deeply. she presses a kiss to his hair.

‘love is the most important thing in the world. it can break any spell, any curse, it can move even the stoniest of hearts and it can save even the darkest of days. love saved all of auradon. love saved me.’

he wriggles up the bed, presses kiss after kiss to her cheek until she turns to face him and he can press a long one to her mouth. in the dark, he imagines he can see her eyes sparkling.

true love’s kiss, he thinks.

‘i love you,’ audrey tells him, winding her fingers back into the short hairs at the nape of his neck in a way that makes his toes curl.

he brushes long blonde strands out of her face, and pulls down a full, red lip with his thumb.

he thinks of trust, of selflessness, of the warmth of audrey’s lips against his own. perhaps he does know what love is.

‘i love you, too.’

the thing is,,,, harry spends p much the entirety of d2 and d3 trying to be intimidating and frightening and make people uncomfortable, like even in his flirting with jane etc it’s cocky and bold and very dramatised. and then he sees audrey in her dress and he stops her spinning and he’s so flustered and sweet, he doesn’t even go for one of the pickup lines he’s been using all movie and just goes ‘hi’ really softly and he’s So Surprised when she drops into her curtsy like you can see him panic and try to catch her before they’re grinning at each other and he smiles at her so genuinely happily after he spins her and just. ugh. i love them.

Here are a couple more headcannons I have all recurring after Descendants 2

- Gil is actually really shy. His father’s confidence and loud opinions always caused him to agree with his father’s opinion whenever he was asked. So one day when Carlos asks him what he does for fun, his smile falters and he frowns. Carlos doesn’t wait for him to respond and drags him to the tourney field where he teaches him how to play. After that Carlos takes him to his tiny workshop where they fix up gizmos and gadgets.

- Harry leaves his pirate hat on the Isle of the Lost to help his transition from evil to good. Harry likes to sit on the bridge leading to the Enchanted Lake. It’s above a waterfall and reminds him of his old days sailing around. Evie spots him one day on her daily walk around Auradon and feels bad for him, because he doesn’t look like the Harry she knew. He’s changed his whole appearance and looks like a prince, not that she’s complaining. Evie decides to create him a whole new look. Something that’s not to edgy, but something that reminds him of the Isle. She transports to the Isle and picks up his hat and she tailors him a red leather blazer. She surprises him by showing up and he can’t contain himself and pulls her into a deep hug.

- Jay, Uma, and Lonnie actually end up petitioning and getting a girl’s tourney team. It all started when Jay and Uma were hanging out to try and bond and settle their differences. He tries to show her baking, but they both end up burning the whole kitchen. They try art, but none of them are good models because they can never stop laughing. So one day he takes her to the tourney field and take some shots. Lonnie tags a long after seeing them one day. They practice together and Uma makes good shots with Lonnie’s assists. The girls team starts to grow with Jane joining the team and others.

- Mal and Ben are never really around due to Ben being the King and Mal helping him out a lot. So Evie, Harry, Jay, Carlos, Uma, Gil, Jane, Lonnie, Chad, Doug, and Audrey sneak into the castle one night and surprise them with a big meal so they can relax and sit down and talk. Evie and Uma head to Ben’s office only to find Ben asleep on the floor and Mal hunched over his desk with the printer still running and the news on. Evie and Uma take a bunch of pics before waking the pair and leading them to the surprise downstairs. They all come together at least once a week, much to Gil and Audrey’s annoyance who cook all of the food.

- A lot of girls actually really like Gil for his shyness. Gil is a gentleman, unlike his dad, and knows how to treat a girl right. One day, Chad approaches him and asks him for help, because his relationship with Audrey is a mess. So Gil teaches him how to be a good boyfriend and him and Chad become best friends. 

- When Harry and Jane meet, they question whether or not they’re siblings. When they first see each other, they’re surprised so they go to Fairy Godmother to see if they actually are related. Turns out they look related, but aren’t. Even though the news is disappointing, Harry makes the decision to get to know her. They form a sibling like bond and Harry teases her about her crush on Carlos. They’re really immature around each other too, he pokes at her in classes they have together and she throws food at him during meal times. 

- Uma ends up being really good at taking care of animals. One day a dog runs into her at the park, it’s Dude, and she takes a quick liking to him. She teaches him tricks and is really gentle with him. She doesn’t realize Carlos watching from a far and he comments on her gift with taking care of animals. Uma shakes him off and when Dude doesn’t leave her side for a whole week she decides to help out with him. Carlos is more than happy to let Dude hang with Uma during date nights with Jane and when he’s busy. One night, Uma proposes an idea that her and Carlos should go ask Ben if they can rescue the suffering animals on the Isle and take them to a shelter in Auradon, which Ben approves.

- Evie is starts to get stressed out with juggling school and her fashion line and her growing popularity as a celebrity in Auradon. In an effort to keep her relaxed, Harry secretly does little things for her. Like do her homework when she’s passed out tired from a fashion show that went on too long the previous night, bring her dinner when she forgets to eat, buy her new materials when she runs out, and keep paparazzi away from her. He always makes sure to keep Evie company and give his honest opinion when asked about a dress. He makes sure to keep his girlfriend comfy at all costs.
