Femslash February: Day 22

Femslash February: Day 22

Fandom: Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments

Main Pairing: Lydia/Izzy

Prompt: Lazy

–

Isabelle looked so gorgeous in the dark-green satin cocktail dress. Her hair, in tight curls, fell over her shoulders as she laid curled together on their bed, snoring softly. Her makeup was a bit smeared, most likely from mushing her face into the pillow. Lydia smiled softly as she approached her wife and carefully removed the high heels at least, putting them in front of the bed. Isabelle hummed at it in her sleep and pulled her legs up more. Sighing, Lydia sat down on the edge of the bed.

Both their jobs were demanding. Lydia, after having recovered in Idris had also returned to her job there as a consul. Even though she had been dying to return to New York – return to Isabelle, help during the war. Now that the war was over, Isabelle Lightwood was the new head of the New York Institute, together with her parabatai Clary Fairchild. Alec had left New York to live in Idris, accepting the offered consul position (mostly so he could be closer to his parabatai, who was in Idris for his own mental recovery). Naturally, that kept both Lydia and Isabelle very busy.

Isabelle was still getting used to her new position, to the responsibility, to working in this capacity with Clary and to working without Jace and Alec. Lydia had a lot to clean up in Idris, the Inquisitor was still out of commission after the Owl had attacked her, so many institutes were short on Shadowhunters after the war and it fell to the Clave to figure out solutions.

Still, their marriage should not come short. They had gotten married when the war had ended, a large celebration of both the victory and their shared love. And then work pulled them apart. They tried to make as much time for each other as possible – but at least they had experience with long-distance, having been dating for many months, even during the time Lydia had been back in Idris. So this, this was fine. Not getting to see each other for days (never more than a week), barely finding time for dates. It wasn’t new and they knew that their love could outlast that.

Tonight, they had planned to go on a date. Isabelle had made a reservation at a fancy restaurant and Lydia had been supposed to be here about an hour ago – but things had gotten in the way and she was running late. By the time she entered their bedroom to pick up Isabelle, Izzy was curled together in the bed, deep asleep. Which only spoke to how exhausting her day must have been too.

“That much for our fancy date”, sighed Lydia to herself as she took her own shoes off.

Yawning, she laid down behind Isabelle and wrapped her arms around Isabelle. Slowly, the head of the institute stirred, eyelashes fluttering as she turned sleepily to look at Lydia.

“He—ey”, whispered Isabelle, nuzzling into Lydia. “…Nap for date…?”

Lydia hummed amused, closing her eyes. Tonight was going to be a lazy date. And that was good.

~*~ The End ~*~

Now, you’re gonna tell him, “Fifi, I don’t want you".

endgame fixits pls?

Who can resist a good fix it, right?  Here are some suggestions for you!  I would note that a lot of these seem to be tagged “fix it of sorts” so…lol, I think a lot of authors have had some things to work out!

COMMENTS AND KUDOS ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT SHOULD BE INEVITABLE

and so begins by romanoff: After Tony’s death, Steve is adrift. He carries Tony’s body, and thinks: I never said thank you.

Warmer Corners by @the-vorkosigan: It all started when Morgan decided she wanted to meet Captain America. Or perhas it started when Steve fell into a frozen lake and Tony had to fish him out. Or maybe when he decided it was a good idea to crawl under the blankets and try to warm Steve up using his body heat. But, most probably, it actually started a long time ago.

Ticking Away the Moments by @no-gorms (Annie D/scaramouche): A regular day with the Avengers is interrupted when a space ship belonging to the Maw, Son of Thanos, appears over New York. This kicks off an adventure for Steve and Tony, who are separated from the rest of the Avengers and have to work together to find out what’s going on. Meanwhile, Steve’s sure that his crush on Tony will not at all be tested by this turn of events.

front row seats (series) by @no-gorms: A Steve/Tony series that follows one of the branching timelines set up by Avengers: Endgame.

Five Seconds by nanasekei:  From the moment Steve suits up, he knows what he’ll do.

Lover Come Hold Me by @thegertie (RurouniHime):  One by one, the stones must go back.

The Butterfly Effect by @itsallavengers: While fighting with Loki, Steve Rogers from 2012 hears the two simple words: “Bucky’s alive.“And the whole universe ripples with the aftershocks.

this is how it ends (and begins again) by silversoul_snow: He’s been called a Man Out of Time, and he’s accepted the mantle. Maybe it’s time for him to live up to it.

we’ll hold each other soon by mistymountainking:   Moments after the bright blue light of Tony’s arc reactor goes dark, Steve knows what he has to do.***written as a prompt fill for anon on tumblr, who asked for Steve/Tony post-Endgame fix-it fic.

Time After Time (I will be waiting) by @winterstar95: Steve returns the infinity stones and someone waits for him…

Of Beards and Best Defenders by nannersmelo: Tony finds out about when Steve had a beard once upon a time, and outraged that he never got to see it, decides to find a way to witness it by himself.

Mobius Strip by @dirigibleplumbing: Steve sets off to return the Infinity Stones. It ends up not being quite as straightforward as he’d imagined.

Here’s How It Happens by @tonystarkssnipples: “I got my chance with him. Now it’s your turn.” Pepper smiles, shaking and brittle, but honest. “Go love him.”-or-The fic where Steve uses time travel to go back and relive his life with Tony.

Same old story by spqr: “We’re toasting our regrets,” Tony explains. “Your turn.““Oh,” Steve says.It takes him a long minute to think of something. Or, more likely, it takes him a long moment to work up the courage. But then he turns and raises his bottle to Tony. Looks him dead in the eyes, a sad, sort of wistful smile on his face, and says, “You.”

Five Days a Week by @festiveferret: The day after Pepper’s funeral - after Rhodey has come and gone, after Natasha has come and gone, after Tony has forcibly sent Happy away - Tony looks out of the front window, Morgan snoozing in the crook of one arm, and sees a dark, heavily-tinted car in the driveway.

And Time Can Do So Much by JentheSweetie:  “I really shouldn’t be talking to a figment of my imagination,” Steve said.  “Sam would be reading me the riot act.  I can hear him now.  Therapy works wonders, you know.”  “Sounds like Wilson,” Tony agreed.  “And therapy does work wonders.  You might want to look into it, once it becomes a thing in a couple of years.”  “I’ll keep that in mind,” Steve said.A few years after Steve moved permanently back in time, he started having conversations with Tony again.

Another Place by JentheSweetie:  Tony’s a smart guy, and he’s pretty sure he knows how the story ends.Tony survives the battle with Thanos, deals with fallout, and might be kinda, sorta dating Steve Rogers.

Where Our Restless Monsters Sleep by mizzy: Years after Tony Stark saved the universe, the Avengers realize there’s a major problem: his body has gone missing. And he isn’t the only one. Fallen heroes all over the galaxy have had their graves pillaged.An old foe is stealing the bodies of fallen warriors, but for what nefarious reason? There’s only one solution. To find out why it’s happening, Steve’s gotta die. He probably shouldn’t be so eager to do that.

No trust! Liar! by ShadowsintheClouds: Why Steve decided to stay.

Fuse is Fireside by GottheSilver: if Tony lived post Endgame au.*  Because, here’s the thing, he loves Pepper.  He does.  He’s not so much of an asshole that he’d marry her if he didn’t.  But Steve.  Steve is like gravity.  Always has been.

hold your breath (now let’s go save the world) by janonny:  In between a hell lot of guilt and repression, Tony goes to ridiculous lengths to avoid talking to Steve and Steve in turn tries to out-stubborn Tony. Then they come up with a way to save the world because that’s what they do.

Saving the World is a 12 Step Program by janonny: Tony and Steve fall to pieces when Thanos’ wins.Then they pick themselves up, and find a solution. They also find something infinitely more precious in the process.-  “It’s going to sound pretty outrageous,” Tony admitted, rubbing a hand over his brow. While he had put on some weight and wasn’t as gaunt anymore, he was still easily tired nowadays.  “More outrageous than talking racoons and a purple villain traveling through space to collect magic stones?” Steve asked drily.

Ripple Effect by sabrecmc: After the events of Infinity War, Steve is sent back in time on a desperate mission to find the Tesseract.  Instead, he meets up with 21-year old Tony, still reeling from his parents’ deaths.  Who, naturally, tries to climb Steve like a tree.  Somehow, this fixes everything.
