THE COURT OF SHADOWS HEADCANONS

‼️THE COURT OF SHADOWS HEADCANONS‼️

Liliver and Van would give Cardan regular updates on Jude during her exile because ofc he'd be worried sick abt her

Liliver, Van, Garret and Cardan would all play EXTREME truth or drink but because they can't lie is extra serious and ends up with a very annoyed Jude

Frequently during the exile Cardan would get super drunk and tell Liliver and Van about how much Jude means to him and when he got her the dress, write her name all over the paper and when they kissed in tcp ect ect. Liliver would probably end up crying herself to sleep that night (I don't blame her)

Liliver loves noodles and when she introduces Cardan to them he gains a new obsession with Chinese take-away

Liliver would make funny harmless bombs or potions to put people to sleep or something and plant them in Lady Asha's room. For fun, of course

Jude would braid or do Lilivers hair for her often

Cardan would help apply Lilivers make-up sometimes

Cardan insisted on putting on a party or celebration for Liliver and Van so he brought funny party hats and stuff from target and threw a party in their base

All the new recruits would be too scared to talk to Cardan (I know I would be)

The court got Cardan a pet snake/snake toy as a joke for his birthday one year and he wasn't very impressed

Liliver and Jude would often have 'girls night' but instead of doing face masks or whatnot they would throw daggers at targets and talk about the best way to kill someone with minimal damage. And gossip, of course

Cardan would go to Van for life advice a lot

I've never done hc so I hope you like them!! And I love the court of shadows so you knew they had to be my first lol

She by dodie but it's Narcissa pining after Alice when they're still in the friend stage (just to make it even worse I want you to imagine they never get past this stage BECAUSE THEY DIE😭😭😭)

little things about james and sirius

james can always tells when sirius’ mood shifts/is about to shift, and james is the only person to whom sirius is an open book

sirius wipes james’ glasses and makes sure they’re not smudged

they always sit together in class, as well as anywhere else they can, and they’re always touching

can have a conversation with just glances

sirius’ first tattoo was a pair of antlers across his collarbones

sirius is the only person james can sit in comfortable silence with, and james is the only person sirius can always talk to

(he’s also the only person that sirius had never grown bored of)

james was the first person sirius thought of after he ran away

have a lot of inside jokes/theories/things that no one but them understands

sirius cheers loudest from the stands at james’ quidditch match, and he’s the person james first comes to to share his victory

after they first graduated hogwarts, they moved in together

sirius is the only person james smokes with

james is the only person sirius ever fully trusted and let himself be entirely vulnerable with

charmed the mirrors so they could talk through their separate detentions (the professors and the staff learnt not to give them a joint one)

the other is the only person they listen to

talk to each other, both at hogwarts and at home, in order to be able to fall asleep (intelligent best friends! besides gossip, they also talk about wandwork and defensive spells and the history and practicality of magic)

cannot keep secrets from each other

consider the other their best friend

trading voices (remus & regulus - muggle au)

a/n: i like to think regulus and remus would get on. this is an exploration of how that might look! i, unfortunately, do not know much bsl (although i should probably get on it, it would be useful). so if you have experience signing, i welcome any and all comments you might have on my presentation of it here!

You can sign?

Regulus’ pale hands move quickly, imbued with curiosity. His eyes are bright and calculating, turning his attention to his brother’s new boyfriend properly for the first time and dissecting him with his gaze.

Yes. Sirius didn’t tell you?

No, never. Are you deaf?

Sort of. Not completely. It’s called sensorineural hearing loss.

Remus finger spells the name, long, scarred fingers settling into each letter with careful and deliberate intention. He makes a face as he does so, and then smiles. Regulus watches his eyes crease up and notes his crooked teeth and decides he quite likes this smile. He’s smiling because he means it.

Long name! I had an accident, when I was younger. It damaged part of my ear. I wear hearing aids because of it, and I also learnt to sign. I don’t get to use it very much though. Only with my mum.

Wow. I had no idea.

Sirius told me you about you. I was pleased when he said you used BSL. Needed another conversation partner - was worried I was getting a bit rusty.

This, to Regulus, is a ludicrous idea. Watching Remus, the way he moves, the fluidity of his gestures and the expressions he makes alongside them - Regulus would have thought communicating like this came about as naturally as breathing. It’s like he walked out of the womb with all this language, all this life to him. It’s sort of magnetic, in a quiet, subtle type of way.

Did my brother tell you about why I sign?

A little. I don’t think he did a very good job explaining it, but he tried.

Right. Sometimes, the words just won’t form in my mouth. They get stuck. I can’t explain it very well myself. Speaking is too much a lot of the time. And then I met this kid, called Evan, and he had a sister, called Pandora, and she taught me how to sign. I found my voice like that.

I’m glad. From what I’ve seen, you have a lot to say.

What do you mean?

Remus grins at him a second time, eyes alight with mischief.

When you were with Sirius. I don’t know what he said, but it must have been stupid. You swore at him when he turned his back. Motherfucker!

He imitates Regulus’ expression, rolling his eyes and gritting his teeth in annoyance as he signs the insult. Then, the act dissolves, and he breaks back into that well-worn smile of his, evidently very much amused. Regulus shrugs matter-of-factly.

It was the only good description I could think of.

I like you.

Insulting your boyfriend is what gets me into your good graces? Strange.

I love him, but he really can be a wanker sometimes.

Lyrics underneath

Regulus Lyrics- (The Exit - Conan Gray)

I can’t hate you, for getting everything that we wanted. I just thought that I’d be part of it.

Sirius Lyrics- (The Show Must Go On - Queen)

Inside my heart is breaking, my makeup may be flaking but my smile stays on!

Harry, having bi panic: “So, there’s the kind, confident, ginger, who’s also my best friend’s sibling… or the Slytherin seeker, who’s from the Black family, thats mean to me..”

*Lily and James watching from above*

Lily: “James…”

James: “Genetics are crazy”
