I want to write a modern TLH university AU with Heronchild as the main ship and major focus on Gracetopher. All the professors are our favourite warlocks. Bridgestock, Claude and Charles are the local assholes. The gang all have their own aesthetics and subjects that they study. Like, Anna does fashion, Thomas has been into Romance languages ever since he spent a year in Spain during high school, Kamala and Alastair are both musically talented and basically the gay best friends of the faculty, Cordelia is a free spirit who takes no one’s shit, does fencing in her free time and runs the chess club. Matthew is the messed up rich kid studying art history, even though his parents are accomplished in politics and science and he’s got major issues about being the black sheep of the family. The Herondales are a really sweet middle class family, Tessa is a respected professor and Will is the principal of a local high school and all the kids love his PE classes. Their children both love books, though James is more into the classics while Lucie is a cottage core queen who wants to become a writer. She recently started dating Jesse, who began working after he got his GSCE to support himself and Grace, because they moved out together to escape Tatiana’s abuse. He supports her education and always says that Grace is the smarter out of the two of them, and will be a great scientist one day. She meets Kit through the Herondales, and James meets Matthew through Thomas and Kit, and we get a ton of Heronchild and Gracetopher content.
It’s just that this would take so much time, I’d have to start once finals are over but then I would have all summer and could see were the story takes me. Someone please tell me to do this🙏🥺
If the TLH gang went ice skating
James and Lucie went so many times with Tessa and Will they’re pretty skilled at it. Impressing Jesse and Cordelia, who both have to learn from the ground up.
Matthew of course is elegant af on ice, but still falls all the time because of his antics, starting squabbles with everyone and racing around recklessly.
No one knows why, but Grace absolutely slays, basically looking like an ice princess. She tries to help Kit even though he struggles, constantly falling over his own feet. He pulls her down by accident at one point and apologises profusely, but she just starts laughing and throws a snowball at him.
Alastair is fucking terrified, but Thomas, who used go go ice skating with his sisters, convinces him to at least try. Alastair doesn’t let go of Thomas for almost the entire time they’re on the ice. Thomas valiantly fights off Matthew for him.
Anna is practiced and elegant, and patiently teaches Kamala, occasionally catching her in her arms whenever she falls.
Lucie and Jesse can’t stop being silly and end up rolling around the ice half the time.
Matthew initiates squabbles with James until they’re both soaking wet and panting, but is at his best gentlemanly behaviour with Cordelia.
Cordelia doesn’t have any practice but puts her mind to mastering it anyways, and she manages to almost outrace James by the end of the night. He wins, but turns around and catches her in his arms at the last second.

Cordelia and Anna just really want to feel the nice fabrics okay? They’re 100% the most texture oriented people of the squad. The rest of the gays are just having a nice hangout at the restaurant.

My take on the McDonalds chart
Dunno about you guys but to me something about this is screaming hottest couple of the year- just LOOK AT THEM 💕 😌
(Also: extra points for Lucies gown)
new lucie and jesse art for the faecrate dustjackets!


they look so good!!!!
Friendly reminder that we will get actual, in the flesh, Jesse in ChoT. A Jesse that everyone can actually see and interact with, probably taking part in the fighting and drama etc.
I can’t wait to see him become part of the squad and go shopping for clothes with James and all. He’s been kept separate from everyone for two books and it’s his time to shine now✨
I didn’t even consider myself a Jesse girl before but just this prospect is so good 😭😫🥹








I made some ChoT memes

Kit whenever someone mentions Grace

Charles in Alicante

Lucie every time she kisses/touches Jesse

The remaining squad alone in the institute

James with Matthew whenever they interact

I’ll probably make a couple posts with insta profiles & stories, private messages, and in case of a celeb AU twitter threads and tabloid headlines.
In either case I can already tell you that it will feature Eugenia, there will be a band, and that Matthew and Alastair make a habit of taking jabs at each other on their public profiles.
Also feel free to send me ideas for what you think would fit for each character/ship in a modern setting.









the last batch of my chot memes… for now
I have this headcanon about modernAU!Grace where whe grew up being pressured by Tatiana to be feminine and appealing, go on diets, do ballet (wich she is really good at but hates because she’s forced to do it competitively), etc…
So when Jesse takes her one day and moves out with her to get away from their mom, she starts to completely rediscover herself and tries to disconnect from the image she’s been forced to uphold her entire life. And she quickly takes to wearing more comfortable, less “girly” clothing and just spending entire days alone with a pile of books.
Idk for some reason when I think of a modern & free-from-Tatiana Grace she’s this laid back STEM student in oversized sweaters wearing headphones 24/7 who kind of just wants to be left alone and really loves her brother.
Which isn’t to say that she wouldn’t find her own style or reconnect with ballet/other stuff from her past on her own terms, but there’s definitely this period of complete decompression that I just see vividly in my head.

1897
"Growing up in London, Lucie had never imagined a place like Brocelind. The forest surrounded Herondale Manor on all sides, its trees bent together at the tops like cautious whisperers: dark green in the summer, burnished gold in the fall."
"She amused herself at first by making chains of flowers and hanging them from branches. After that she pretended she was Snow White fleeing from the huntsman."

"His black hair and green eyes made a wintry contrast against his pale skin. As a writer, one had to pay attention to these things. Descriptions were very important." ― 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑮𝒐𝒍𝒅
