@runcnlove – an indie, semi-selective, multiship and multiverse multimuse feat. characters from SyFy's The Magicians; headcanon-influenced and canon divergent, mainly set around S1 and S2 for now; cherished by Di / Spades, she/her, a twenty-something disaster (just like my magic babies are 😉)

a study in: found family, finding yourself, fate and destiny, fear of vulnerability, what it means to be a hero, bravery of different flavors, being honest, magic, true love, soulmates...

So, I got shadowb@nned. Which is always so *fun*. Now I can't message anyone and my messages have probably disappeared from inboxes and just... Grr 😡

[runcnlove-sb]

Also, I'm in desperate need of all things s1 and 2, the Mosaic timeline and various AUs, like the no beast s1 au or 'Alice didn't die defeating the Beast so her, Q, Margo and Eliot are actually ruling together' s2 au,

so tag me in random starters and/or send me memes (the more the merrier, I'm serious, you can send 10 and I'll be happy... not to say I won't be happy with 1 or 2, but you know what I mean - don't be shy to send more than one) set in those verses or just generally fluffy or hurt/comforty or angsty but with a happy ending things!

[runcnlove-sb]

So, the plan for now is to make myself something to eat, grab a shower then put on the impro tv show I like and work on drafts + continue to work on my Eliot gifpacks

[runcnlove-sb]

I rewatched 3x05 and 4x05 while making up the promo's title and it... took me a while to get through 4x05 because I had to pause every other minute and scream into my pillow because… well… watching Eliot reject Q hurts… and watching Eliot watch himself reject Q hurts even more… and everything else also hurts… so my sincere respect to people who can watch more than one ep of season 4 at a time!

honeymoon phase but it isn’t a phase and we’re just deeply in love and devoted to each other for all of eternity <3

[runcnlove-sb]

In other news, I'm adding Arielle to my muse list as well.

[runcnlove-sb]

I was writing something for the Mosaic, and a thought came to me, a beautiful idea that in a way, it was Arielle who pushed El to see that his feelings are requited and that he is in a relationship with Q and it's not wrong.

Sweet, kind Arielle, who walked up one day to El, while Q was busy with the Mosaic and El was busy with the chores, and offered to help him.

Arielle, who asked him if it was okay for her and Q to pursue a relationship, considering he and El are together.

Of course, El denied everything, saying there was nothing between them more than friendship, but with such bitterness and longing he wasn't fooling anyone, especially Arielle.

Sweet, kind, wise Arielle who gave him a look that reminded him a little of Margo and said of course there is.

And the walls Eliot have been hiding behind for so long, that already had cracks and fissures in them from living with Q for over a year in their little cottage, from that night they spent on their first anniversary at the Mosaic, just from knowing Q, wonderful, awkward, kind, curious and endlessly believing Q... those walls have finally begun to crumble ( and Eliot along with them ), because of course there is.

Of course, it didn't happen overnight, the change in Eliot's mindset, it took some time and more talks with both Ari and Q and more bravery than Eliot knows he possesses in taking those tentative steps, opening himself up to being vulnerable and to the possibility of getting hurt only to learn the hard way neither Q nor Ari will ever hurt him...

But he got there. He believed. That he could love openly and be loved in return, could trust Q and Ari with his heart and know they are not going to break it. That he could have a family that actually truly loves him and cares about him and be there for him instead of making him feel small and insignificant and constantly getting in the way with his stupid, wrong feelings.

And it all started one sunny day with "Peaches and plums".

Someone grab my hand quickly, run and I’ll follow you. Capture my lips in your teeth, I’ll let you. Let’s leave, let’s make love, let’s fight, and let’s fuck.

take me with you take me with you take me with you.

“We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.”

— Robert Fulghum

[runcnlove-sb]

I can't talk about Margo's storyline right now because the Mosaic kinda drained me and I need to recharge first, but boy did my girl deserved far better and clearly didn't deserve any of this shit (except maybe marriage to Mica because he looked like a decent fella and at very least infinitely better than Josh is)

[runcnlove-sb]

Wow, in other words, please, someone, take "a life in the day" away from me, I clearly can't handle this amount of feels 😅🥺
