ALRIGHT LISTEN- MALEC IS JUST SO FUCKIN CUTE, REMEMBER THE PART SOMEWHERE IN SEASON ONE WHERE MAGNUS SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT HAVING NOT MET SOMEONE AS GREAT AS ART AS CLARY AS MICHAEL ANGELO AND IMPLIES THAT THEY SLEPT WITH HIM OR SMTH AND GLANCED AT ALEC LIKE "You hear that Alec? I slept with Michael Angelo- you gonna get jealous? Cmon give me a reactionnn"
A prompt ive been thinking about is how this all must look to meggie, like obv mo and df have their private moments and they hold back near the kids but like... there is still something there, you know. And meggie is very observant, she can see the lingering touches, the discreet nuzzles when they think nobody is looking, the way mo swallows with his mouth open at the sight of df coming home shirtless and covered in dirt before telling him to take a shower and change...
Now that i think about it, how open would they be near their family? Would df invite mo to the shower with him to 'save water' if he knew meggie was in hearing shot? Would they still peck each other on the cheek or lips? Maybe slap each others asses? I know my parents do that, so why not them, you know
And of course meggie acts disgusted at all this while inside shes like,, happy for both of them
-G

Meggie sees it.
There's a part of her that wishes she didn't -- and the other part of her hates that first part, thinks it's selfish, because something else she sees is how happy Mo is. Happier than he's ever been.
Deep, deep down, does she wish he could be happy like that with Resa? Yeah... Yeah, she does.
But Resa isn't here. It's still painful to think of her, but she's gone, and she was never really here in the first place.
The first time she noticed something happened at about eight months after the end. She'd had trouble sleeping that night and got up for a glass of water, and saw that the porch light was still on. The kitchen clock marked 1:18AM. It was odd; Mo always turned off all the lights when he went to bed.
Meggie made it to the door to get the light that was somehow probably just forgotten, and that's when she heard something outside. The door was quiet when she pushed it halfway open to peek outside. The only thing she could see was that lights were on in the van, too, and Dustfinger seemed to have company. She could hear two distinct voices.
Again, odd.
But for the time being, she let it go.
Then, a week later, it's a small thing, but Mo was doing dishes one night and Dustfinger, on yet another odd move, had helped clean the table, and when he brought things back into the kitchen, Meggie could see it just for a brief moment, a millisecond, that he let his free hand go to Mo's lower back, and Mo offered him a smile, a tiny thing, an intimate thing.
So, the porch light and the van and the hand on the back and the smile, and the fact that they were talking then, like having actual conversations -- Meggie sees it.
Mo's happy. Dustfinger's happy.
Why shouldn't Meggie be, too?
But they're discreet, they are. Even in the privacy of their own place, when they're alone with family. Meggie thinks it's just how Mo is; he's old and boring, and he doesn't have to be glued to Dustfinger at every waking hour.
It's like -- the opposite of Farid. Farid's always holding her hand or braiding her hair. She likes the reassurance of his touches. Likes to know he knows he can touch her, because they belong.
Mo and Dustfinger, even though everyone's fine with them being together, you have to look close. If you do, they have these... Codes. They talk with their eyes, sometimes. Mo looks at Dustfinger a certain kind of way and Dustfinger goes to pick up whatever Mo was looking for. And he always gets it right.
Or the little -- the little shoulder squeezes. She doesn't know quite how to explain, but. Sometimes Mo just does a little squeeze of Dustfinger's shoulder and it's like so much information is sent there; they change the pacing of whatever they're doing immediately. Always on the same beat, same tune. Dancing around each other to no music.
The loudest they get is with the forehead kisses. Dustfinger loves those. He kisses Mo's head when he's leaving for work or when he's arriving for a meal, or when Mo's upset and he doesn't want a fight to break out.
Meggie has, unfortunately, seen them being disgusting, too. But that would be hard to avoid, you know, since they're all living together. The long looks when one or the other shows up in more revealing clothes or how Dustfinger will hug Mo against the counter when he's making breakfast and Meggie and Farid haven't gotten up yet. He moves away as soon as one of the kids walk in.
Or that one time when they were all walking home from a restaurant across the plaza and it suddenly started pouring rain and they all came up drenched. Meggie let Farid shower first and sat in the kitchen to wait, and for a brief second, when they thought she couldn't see, right at the door of their bedroom, Mo and Dustfinger just jumped at each other, kissing and laughing and taking off each other's clothes.
It's disgusting. But they're happy.
And she thinks it's sweet. She thinks they deserve it -- you know, love.
Please do more of these, I love Dustfinger and Mo's ship so much and it's so damned underrated and your stories about them are just so utterly amazing 😭
And maybe you could even do a little prompt where it's DustFinger who's jealous this time around with a very touchy customer who's all up on Mo? 👀
I love the fact that the knights doesn't care whether Merlin is ready to murder Arthur, like he really could try and shoot Arthur with a bow and arrow and Leon's just gonna be "ah it's just horseplay" and the other knights would simply agree
Sirius *casually peeling potatoes to help out at the potters house*: I think I'm getting the hang of it, hadn't even accidentally sliced my hand with the peeler yet
James who's very much trying to fit in with the trends nowadays: fuck yeah you are, peeling those potatussy well
