night brings little solace to magnus anymore . nightmares haunt him still , years later , & they’re never anything easy to tread through , but at least it’s better now . the fight has been fought & the war has been won & magnus is ... happy . he has friends & he has a family again & for right now he has lup & so it’s easier to doze off, to press his head to her shoulder & succumb . sleep has never come easy to any of them , however , ( they all have their fair share of DEMONS ) so he supposes it’s no surprise when he wakes to shaking . when he wakes to groaning , head turning to press into where his lies on her shoulder in distress , silent plea hanging from lips as she struggles against nightmare . & magnus has seen this before , knows how to deal with this , but for just a moment he’s surprised . for just a moment he’s confused , blinking in sudden consciousness as he attempts to straighten , hands flying to shoulders almost instinctively as he rights himself . ❛ l - lup ? lup , wake up . you’re --- you’re just dreaming . it’s okay now . ❜ / @flamegauntlet
