Femslash February: Lydia/Maureen 

tmifemslashbingo: maureen x lydia + mythology

Maureen is the goddess of love. Lydia is the goddess of war. Their romance has been written and re-written so many times in the history of the world that the truth has been lost even to them. But Maureen’s breath always tastes of mint and Lydia’s hair always smells of burnt wood. And holding each other is still pure bliss.

[Caption: 2 8-image aesthetic graphics of Maureen Brown and Lydia Branwell from the Shadowhunters TV show.

1st graphic, in order: pink roses; a selfie of Maureen; two girls kissing on a bed; white text on a pink background - it reads “the goddess of love”;  white text on a pink background - it reads “Maureen Brown (Aphrodite)”; an explosion of pink glitter; pink bottles in the shape of a heart; two girls holding hands.

shadowhunters aesthetics (3/?) maurydia (maureen brown + lydia branwell)

i bet you never thought you would fall again

maureen gets bitten by camille but not turned 

camille mentions simon so maureen tracks him the fuck down to the institute and stakes (ha) out there until she catches alec on a Walk Of Shame back from magnus’s

“there is a woman in a fancy looking blue car outside and it’s simon’s fault”

simon goes out to talk to her and clary eventually invites her in to the institute (”why is there a mundane in the institute”)

anyway lydia is gone from the start

this mundane has pretty eyes and she’s wearing a nice purple dress which is obviously why lydia is staring at her no matter what alec’s smug little smile is suggesting

lydia assigns herself Protector of The Mundane bc u know everyone else is busy looking for jace obviously 

at this point alec and izzy have that smug smile thing going on

maureen takes lydia back to her place and makes lydia explain everything (which lydia shouldnt be doing but she cant stop herself)

lydia sleeps on her couch for a week (to protect her from the vampire, magnus) and maureen starts to feel guilty bc that can not be good for her back

“we could... share a bed... u kno. bc of the vampires” 

bed sharing commences and they stay up until 6am talking (also maureen wears these cute pyjamas that are too big for her and she does sleeve paws and lydia is so gone) 

maureen falls asleep and lydia has to go so she shakes her awake (“there’s an emergency at the institute i’ll send clary if she can come-”) and maureen walks her to the door while she shoves her hair into a ponytail and drags on her jacket (she slept in one of maureen’s old t-shirts and she forgot to change out of it- maureen totally notices but likes the idea of lydia in her clothes) and while lydia is telling her to lock her door and remember the stake under her pillow and have it by her at all times maureen grabs her face and says “can i kiss you” 

and lydia just kinda stands there for a couple seconds and then nods quickly

and then maureen kisses her but her phone is ringing again so she has to pull away and maureen is still holding her face but she has to go, i’ll be back later 

simon is just as excited as he was when magnus and alec kissed 

alec is even more excited than that
