on a lighter note! I was tagged by @shadowedhillsÂ
List all the things youâre currently working on in as much or little detail as youâd like, then tag some friends to see what theyâre working on
tagging anyone who wants? I DONâT KNOW WHO IS WORKING ON THINGS. UH. No pressure tagging:. @janoda @poemsfromthealley @evilsapphyre @thedivinemissema @shadoedseptmbr (but really truly, anyone whoâd like)
While I have about a dozen WIP-y things, theyâre the same WIP-y things from the last time I did this, so instead! Have an excerpt of the Shadowhunters Persuasion AU, aka my gay magical regency procedural.Â
Yes, I put cops in Persuasion, shush, it makes sense to me.
/because I am very weird apparentlyÂ
though this bit is not a procedural bit. thatâs not âtil much later.
Magnus was getting ready for the Herondale Ball.Â
Voluntarily.
Purposefully getting ready to walk through those doors and spend an evening surrounded by the highest ranks of the Nephilim and their disdain. Lady Herondaleâs face upon having to greet a warlock at least somewhat graciously would probably be worth it?Â
No, it wouldnât. Nice bonus, perhaps. His rank entitled him to the invitation, but everyone knew he wasnât supposed to accept. Before this Season, heâd never even been tempted.
But now? He was going so he could watch Mr. Lightwood dance a token dance or two with Miss Penhallow (they were both quite graceful, it was a nice show) before Alec spent the rest of the night holding up a wall. All so he, High Warlock Magnus Bane himself, could hold up the stretch of wall next to him.
The man had too much leg, it was ridiculous, no one should look that good leaning and occasionally rolling his eyes or smiling at his sister.
Or at me.Â
Magnus was perhaps also a little ridiculous? Heâd even procured a new waistcoat and boots for the occasion. He couldnât wait to see Alecâs face when he saw them.Â
