HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA WILL! đ„°đ
Will stared out at the midnight London skyline from the window of the Instituteâs music room. His parabataiâs violin visible from the corner of his vision, illuminated by the full moon and gathering dust just as it has been for years now.
Itâs the first hour of his birthday. Another year spent with his soulâs other half at an armâs length away from him; close enough to see and to touch, but not close enough to draw into his arms as much as he wanted to, never close enough to pull him back completely into his life again. Some would say Will was lucky. He could still talk to his parabatai when he was supposed to be dead.
Well, Will has always been greedy.
He was a sturdy masculine silhouette in the dead of night, his heart and head playing back memories before his eyes. He was still. He let the world turn while he stayed rooted in the past.
Something wet and warm attached itself on his ankle. Will jumped.
His son was staring at him with wide golden eyes and a wet smile.
âOh dear.â Will murmured, picking James up off the floor and wiping his assaulted ankle with the blanket his son dragged out of bed with him.
âWhy are you awake?â he asked James, wiping at his mouth with the blanket. It came away sticky with saliva. James lunged for his fatherâs cheek.
âI am not food my darling.â James giggled as Will pulled his mouth away from his cheek with an audible pop! Will grimaced and wiped his cheek with the blanket.
The long and silent journey to his room was made bearable by the tiny warm body snuggled in the crook of his neck. His baby protecting him from the walls of the Institute, thwarting its plans to close in on him with memories that refused to fade. Will dropped a kiss on his sonâs head.
Tessa placed the book she was reading on their nightstand. She didnât seem surprised to see Will enter with James. She patted the place beside her.
Will climbed on the bed and sat James between him and his mother. Tessa reached for her son.
âWhy are you awake Jamie?â she asked her son. James didnât reply, he laid his head on her swollen belly. Tessa smiled. In just a few months sheâll have two little ones running about their home.
She turned to look at Will, who was already looking at her fondly.
âHappy Birthday, love.â she kissed him. âI miss him too.â
âI know.â Will pulled his wife and son into his arms.
âI donât want you to spend your birthday with that sad smile on your face.â Tessaâs hand came up to trace Willâs mouth.
âOur Jem may not be as near as we want him to be, but we still have other family.â she said.
Will nodded. âYes, I saw the cake ingredients laid out neatly on the kitchen island.â Tessa laughed.
âOf course you did. You have to act surprised though, unless you want Cecily to scold you for walking around in your own home.â Will snorted. He wasnât a thespian, Cecily would have to make do with an unsurprised Will.
Tessa kissed his cheek and predicted that breakfast was going to be an interesting affair. Everything always is when the Herondale siblings are together.
Something wet and warm was on her chest, right next to the jade necklace she rarely took off.
âWhere is Jamieâs pacifier?â Tessa asked, wiping away at her chest with her sonâs already soaked blanket.
âIâll get it.â Will said softly, his eyes trained on the pendant Tessa wore. He stroked the jade once, reverently, before cupping Tessaâs face and kissing her.
Will headed to his sonâs room with a heart clear of melancholy and a plan for some minor injuries thatâll require a certain Silent Brotherâs attention. He grinned, knowing that heâll once again get his way today. His family will be complete, if only for a few hours.
It was his birthday after all.

(P. S. i donât know if this account still has the same name, i saw this on Pinterest. If it has a different name now feel free to comment it.)

Do it, do it!
Iâm crying, this is so... just... dios mio i donât have the words.
Weâve all seen that Gothel makes Rapunzel come to her for hugs, but today I realized it goes deeper than that. Gothel doesnât want Rapunzel showing physical affection unless she has been given specific permission. Opening her arms is that unspoken permission.
For example, towards the beginning, when sheâs reminding Gothel that itâs her birthday tomorrow, she grabs her arm in exuberance. Gothel is put out and then pries Rapunzelâs hands off her arm, all the while pretending she doesnât remember (or care) that her birthday - something Rapunzel is extremely excited about - is fast approaching.
She also uses Rapunzelâs need for physical affection, deliberately taunting and âteachingâ her with it by pretending to offer it, then taking it away immediately.
The first bazzilionty times I saw this movie, I always assumed Rapunzel was relieved to see Gothel towards the end of Mother Knows Best just because she was scared.
But now I realize itâs not only because sheâs scared, but because Gothel is now giving Rapunzel permission to seek the creature comfort of physical contact that she so desperately needs after the gamut of fear sheâs run.
Eugene, on the other hand, starts showing physical affection as soon as he starts feeling any affection for Rapunzel at all. He uses it as a comfort. Yet Rapunzel keeps her hands to herself.
It continues when he gives her the little flag, touching the small of her back in an affectionate way. But her hands (and attention) are full at this moment.
In fact, the first time she realizes sheâs touching him, and heâs touching her, and thereâs affection and enjoyment buzzing between them, sheâs the first to pull away.
Sheâs alarmed at first, then apologetic and sheepish. Sorry I was touching you, Eugene. And he politely takes a step back, tuned in to her discomfort and giving her a little more space.
But that is why the moment on the boat is so important, and why Rapunzel has the reaction she does.
In taking Rapunzelâs hand, out of the blue (as far as she can tell), itâs sending her a clear message that he feels the same about her that she does about him, and that physical affection is both alright and wanted. That he will seek out her attention in a way Gothel never has. And from this moment on, she touches him often, holding hands for the rest of the song, brushing his hair from his face as he lay dying, and never letting go of his head, even after heâd died in her arms. Not to mention kissing him when he lives again, holding hands on the balcony while they wait for her parents and end-of-movie smooching.
âI am confusionâ
its not a lie though
type âi amâ in the tags and whatever comes up first is your new mandatory kin
Yes just yes
alright, this one is for sweet, sweet anoni!! I tried to draw them with actual human heads, but it looked way too cursed ajskdhjaksh
Also, I tried to do a kinda-rhyme with âchicken littleâ and âchicken gwilymâ but itâs dawning on me now that they might just sound similar from my messed up non-native perspective. Oh well.
I hope you liked it!!
love the empyrean series, ACOTAR, TSC, Mauraders ect.
