Omg could you write a fic where Alec talks in his sleep?
By the time he opensthe door to the loft, it’s closer to dawn than dusk, and Magnus hasbeen awake for close to forty-eight hours.
The sheer amount ofwork he has isn’t an unexpected thing; regardless of whether or nothe owns the title of high warlock, there are always people who needhim for him, sothe never-endinglist of jobs on his platecomes as no surprise. Still, the exhaustion in his bones is a lot tohandle, and the feeling isonly exacerbated with the knowledge that he’s been parted fromhome, parted fromAlec for so long, withonly the occasional text between jobs to exchangehellos.
Themoment Magnuspasses into the livingroom, he folds,letting himself feel the achethat comes with magic depletion. It’s a hard feeling to describe inwords; it’s like he’s half of himself, like the core of him ismissing, like he’s hungryfor something that food can’t satisfy. Movingwith an indolence he reserves for theloft, Magnustoes his boots off, kickingthem off to the side while he peels his coat off, then unbuttons hisshirt. He drops everything tothe floor with careless abandon, leaving the most obvious trailbehind him, not that it matters if people were following. Ifthey knew him at all, they’d know there’s only one place he couldpossibly be going.
Thebedroom is hazy withdarkness, but Magnus cuts easily through the black, naturally drawnto the body sprawled in bed. He can’t see Alec, but he can feel thewarmth of him as he slips under the sheets, hearthe sound of his snuffles.His arms reach around Alec’swaist, heart already settling in the joy of proximity that he’sbeen recently deprived of.
“Hello,love,” he murmurs gently, nuzzling into the downy skin at the backof Alec’s neck, pressing his lips to the sharp knobs of Alec’sspine. Sleep is pulling at hiseyelids, but Magnuswants to reacquaint himself with Alec first, to remember the cadenceof his breath, the icy chill of his feet, the jut of his hip.
“Mm,”Alec mumbles, still clearly asleep, though hescoots backwards a little into Magnus’ chest.
“Imissed you,” Magnus says, laying onekiss, then another,on Alec’s shoulder, drawinghis thumb over the ridges of Alec’s ribsbefore he eventually shutshis eyes.
God,he’s tired, and the bed is heavenly. It’sbarely been minutes and he’s already mostly asleepwhen he feels Alec’s chest rumbling under his palm, his headshaking a little and his hairtickling Magnus’ nose.
“Loveyou,” Magnus hears, lowand gravelly from Alec’s lips, and his heart skips a beat.
Magnuslifts his head so that his mouth skims Alec’s ear. “Sweetheart?”he prompts with a whisper. “Are you awake?”
Alecis quiet for a moment, snoring twice more, before he repeats, “Loveyou.”
It’snot like Magnus doesn’t know this. God, he knowsthat Alec loves him with a surefooted devotion that’s unlikeanything Magnus has ever experienced. But he’s so tired tonight,and he’s missed Alec so much, that these words that Magnus hasheard countless times from Alec strike with unprecedented swiftness,especially when murmured inunconsciousness.
“Ilove you too, Alexander,”Magnus says under his breath, pulling Alec closer to him, pressinghis hand firmly against the spot above Alec’s heart.“I love you, I love you –”
“Bacon.”
Magnusphysically recoilslike he’s been shot.What?
“Loveyou… bacon,” Alec slurs.
Magnusis so shocked for a solid minute that he doesn’t even react. It’snot until he feels something bubbling in his chest that he starts toregister – is he annoyed, or is he amused? Magnus knows Alec’s got a thing for breakfast foods, but – is Alec serious? Bacon? Now?
Hecan’t believe it. “You asshole,” Magnus says fondly, without heat. Scrunching his nose, hepokes Alec in the side. Not too hard – but still.
It’sharder to fall asleep the second time around; the occasional burst oflaughter is still trying to make its way out from Magnus’ lungs,and the pressure of keeping quiet prevents his mind from findingrest. God, he can’t believe Alec.
By the time his exhaustion catches up to him and drags him under, Magnus is pretty sure the sun is on the edge of rising over Brooklyn. He too tired to be certain, though; the only thing he knows when he finally falls asleep is that he’s got Alec in his arms, and that he’s going to give Alec so much shit for this.
Later.

THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)
An Article from Neena Susan Thomas
“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.
5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.
6] Number three is public restrooms.
7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.
8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.
10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.
POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:
1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.
4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.
5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.
6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

THIS COULD ACTUALLY SAVE A LIFE.”
Headcanon: Ask teenaged Damian about Batman Inc. and Brucie Wayne’s relationship with Batman and you’ll always receive a different answer.
Example:
“What is your father’s relationship with Batman?“ “They’re lovers.” -
“Unrequited love. Father adores him, but Batman has only one passion: JUSTICE.“ -
“Childhood friends. Met at summer camp. My father stumbled into the woods and noticed a rather fat bat in the tree. Back then he was a little overweight, and also known as Batboy.” -
“I am here to deliver the truth, and the truth shall set this city free. X-Men are real. He’s a mutant! They’re all mutants!” -
“Total weebs. They were really into Inuyasha in high school. You know that one episode with the bat demons? Huge inspiration.” -
“My father cares a great deal about animals, as I’m sure you are aware. Batman is half bat. That’s why he covers his face. He has bat eyes.“ -
“It’s a torrid affair. Batman’s secret headquarters are under Gotham harbor. My father has always had a thing about romance surrounded by fish. Sometimes he’ll get Batman to sing sea shanties.”
-
“Here’s the thing: Batman is actually not a man. The figure is made up of small cobbler elves. That’s why the Kevlar fits so tight.”

THIS COULD ACTUALLY SAVE A LIFE.”
A nurse has heart attack and describes what she felt like when having one
I am an ER nurse and this is the best description of this event that I have ever heard.
FEMALE HEART ATTACKS
I was aware that female heart attacks are different, but this is description is so incredibly visceral that I feel like I have an entire new understanding of what it feels like to be living the symptoms on the inside. Women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that men have… you know, the sudden stabbing pain in the chest, the cold sweat, grabbing the chest & dropping to the floor the we see in movies. Here is the story of one woman’s experience with a heart attack:
"I had a heart attack at about 10:30 PM with NO prior exertion, NO prior emotional trauma that one would suspect might have brought it on. I was sitting all snugly & warm on a cold evening, with my purring cat in my lap, reading an interesting story my friend had sent me, and actually thinking, ‘A-A-h, this is the life, all cozy and warm in my soft, cushy Lazy Boy with my feet propped up. A moment later, I felt that awful sensation of indigestion, when you’ve been in a hurry and grabbed a bite of sandwich and washed it down with a dash of water, and that hurried bite seems to feel like you’ve swallowed a golf ball going down the esophagus in slow motion and it is most uncomfortable. You realize you shouldn’t have gulped it down so fast and needed to chew it more thoroughly and this time drink a glass of water to hasten its progress down to the stomach. This was my initial sensation–the only trouble was that I hadn’t taken a bite of anything since about 5:00 p.m.
After it seemed to subside, the next sensation was like little squeezing motions that seemed to be racing up my SPINE (hind-sight, it was probably my aorta spasms), gaining speed as they continued racing up and under my sternum (breast bone, where one presses rhythmically when administering CPR). This fascinating process continued on into my throat and branched out into both jaws. ‘AHA!! NOW I stopped puzzling about what was happening – we all have read and/or heard about pain in the jaws being one of the signals of an MI happening, haven’t we? I said aloud to myself and the cat, Dear God, I think I’m having a heart attack! I lowered the foot rest dumping the cat from my lap, started to take a step and fell on the floor instead. I thought to myself, If this is a heart attack, I shouldn’t be walking into the next room where the phone is or anywhere else… but, on the other hand, if I don’t, nobody will know that I need help, and if I wait any longer I may not be able to get up in a moment.
I pulled myself up with the arms of the chair, walked slowly into the next room and dialed the Paramedics… I told her I thought I was having a heart attack due to the pressure building under the sternum and radiating into my jaws. I didn’t feel hysterical or afraid, just stating the facts. She said she was sending the Paramedics over immediately, asked if the front door was near to me, and if so, to un-bolt the door and then lie down on the floor where they could see me when they came in. I unlocked the door and then laid down on the floor as instructed and lost consciousness, as I don’t remember the medics coming in, their examination, lifting me onto a gurney or getting me into their ambulance, or hearing the call they made to St. Jude ER on the way, but I did briefly awaken when we arrived and saw that the radiologist was already there in his surgical blues and cap, helping the medics pull my stretcher out of the ambulance. He was bending over me asking questions (probably something like ‘Have you taken any medications?’) but I couldn’t make my mind interpret what he was saying, or form an answer, and nodded off again, not waking up until the Cardiologist and partner had already threaded the teeny angiogram balloon up my femoral artery into the aorta and into my heart where they installed 2 side by side stints to hold open my right coronary artery.
I know it sounds like all my thinking and actions at home must have taken at least 20-30 minutes before calling the paramedics, but actually it took perhaps 4-5 minutes before the call, and both the fire station and St Jude are only minutes away from my home, and my Cardiologist was already to go to the OR in his scrubs and get going on restarting my heart (which had stopped somewhere between my arrival and the procedure) and installing the stents. Why have I written all of this to you with so much detail? Because I want all of you who are so important in my life to know what I learned first hand.
1. Be aware that something very different is happening in your body, not the usual men’s symptoms but inexplicable things happening (until my sternum and jaws got into the act). It is said that many more women than men die of their first (and last) MI because they didn’t know they were having one and commonly mistake it as indigestion, take some Maalox or other anti-heartburn preparation and go to bed, hoping they’ll feel better in the morning when they wake up… which doesn’t happen. My female friends, your symptoms might not be exactly like mine, so I advise you to call the Paramedics if ANYTHING is unpleasantly happening that you’ve not felt before. It is better to have a ‘false alarm’ visitation than to risk your life guessing what it might be! 2. Note that I said ‘Call the Paramedics.’ And if you can take an aspirin. Ladies, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! Do NOT try to drive yourself to the ER - you are a hazard to others on the road. Do NOT have your panicked husband who will be speeding and looking anxiously at what’s happening with you instead of the road. Do NOT call your doctor – he doesn’t know where you live and if it’s at night you won’t reach him anyway, and if it’s daytime, his assistants (or answering service) will tell you to call the Paramedics. He doesn’t carry the equipment in his car that you need to be saved! The Paramedics do, principally OXYGEN that you need ASAP. Your Dr. will be notified later. 3. Don’t assume it couldn’t be a heart attack because you have a normal cholesterol count. Research has discovered that a cholesterol elevated reading is rarely the cause of an MI (unless it’s unbelievably high and/or accompanied by high blood pressure). MIs are usually caused by long-term stress and inflammation in the body, which dumps all sorts of deadly hormones into your system to sludge things up in there. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let’s be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive to tell the tale.“
Reblog, repost, Facebook, tweet, pin, email, morse code, fucking carrier pigeon this to save a life! I wish I knew who the author was. I’m definitely not the OP, actually think it might be an old chain email or even letter from back in the day. The version I saw floating around Facebook ended with “my cardiologist says mail this to 10 friends, maybe you’ll save one!” And knew this was way too interesting not to pass on.

5 Times Tim Drake Fell Asleep Unexpectedly
Anonymous said:Tim falling asleep in multiple random places
:D This’ll be fun. I love this kind of thing!
Tim needed to sleep more. And apparently, his body often agreed with him–in spite of his own belief he did not need sleep and could make do on extreme amounts of caffeine.
Some family members had kept track of the places he fell asleep in the beginning–but soon enough, there were too many and it became less of a game.
Top five, however, as recorded by various family members with their phones, were as follows:
1. The first time. Tim had worn himself out his first night out as Robin–the legitimate Robin, not merely wearing the costume.
He was supposed to go home afterwards, so his parents wouldn’t miss him or be upset, a normal enough scheme during his training. Alfred suspected that this had been more emotionally draining than training ever had been, though–the thrill, the euphoria, the adrenaline–and Tim was completely wiped.
He fell asleep in the Batmobile.
Bruce had already left the Batmobile at the time, and Alfred found Tim asleep in his seat, one hand clutching the release for the seatbelt, thumb on the button.
And Alfred had smiled to himself, snapped a picture, and then gently roused Tim. It wasn’t an entirely happy smile–he wasn’t entirely for Tim becoming Robin. But in the year of his training, he’d grown to truly care for Tim.
That picture was still in Alfred’s possession, well-hidden, like the rest of the precious few pictures of the children in costume.
Tim’s almost dopey sleep smile, the way he looked totally at ease, would both haunt and console Alfred in future years.
2. Dick had always taken a more active role with Tim than he ever had with Jason. It was a conscious decision on his part, even if he would not admit it to very many people at all.
And so, he often dropped by unannounced, usually not long after Tim got out of school, to surprise him with either mission work or an outing. Both were equally exciting to Tim, and Dick would quickly figure out, when they went to a hideous wax museum that was just a shade shy of being entertaining kind of horrible, that it wasn’t what they did–it was being with Dick. It was having an older brother.
In any case, he dropped by one day, after school, to pick up Tim for a movie. It was a cheesy superhero flick, the kind that clearly had no clue what it was like to be a superhero–but certainly knew all the standard gags for comedy and the standard tropes for romance within such a movie.
No one answered the door, but he’d just let himself in. “Hey, Tim! We gotta catch SuperAwesome–it actually starts at 5:15 instead of 5:45, and I wanted to grab a bite–you know how Gotham traffic can be…”
No one was responding. Funny, Tim had been excited about going there and making fun of the movie with him. He searched a bit, and still didn’t find Tim.
“Huh. Hey, anybody home?”
He was starting to go into vigilante mode–sharpen his senses, look for clues–and then he spotted a very large container. The exact one used to house Christmas ornaments (a few hundred), all packed in with newspaper and bubble wrap between pieces of cardboard by Alfred.
But all the ornaments were on the tree, and the lid on the container was very ajar…
Dick stepped towards it and nearly choked trying not to laugh.
Among the empty newspaper and bubblewrap, and even the cardboard, Tim was asleep. A haphazard blanket was lying half in and half out on the side away from Dick, and a pillow had completely missed the container. Tim was in PJ’s, and Dick could practically smell the flu on him.
It appeared he’d been dragging himself to the couch, where a cold but formerly hot meal sat, as well as the start menu of some old cartoon movie, and had fallen in–and then just given up and fallen asleep.
Dick took a picture, and gingerly lifted Tim out. The boy was a bit warm, but not alarmingly so, and Dick got him settled on the couch.
That picture still made Dick smile when he looked at it.
3. Jason wasn’t normally one to take pictures, in any case–evidence that could be traced back.
But he’d been tailing Tim for a bit, spying–when the other seemed to disappear. It’d taken several minutes to find him again, the Robin surprisingly elusive for someone wearing such bright colors–and when he did, Jason had to stop in relative shock.
The moron was fucking sleeping in the middle of an alley.
Jason stopped to take stock of the situation, make sure there was no one who had attacked him–but then Tim let out a small, almost adorable snore, and Jason groaned to himself.
He had been moving in a more and more lethargic way, Jason supposed. He was curled on his side, cape pulled over him like a blanket, and damnit, Bruce needed to stop working his kids like they were in a fucking factory in the 19th century. Cause the kind of tired where it won out over fucking survival instinct–that was very bad.
Jason debated what to do about it for a moment–he didn’t want Tim shanked in some alley cause he was asleep. So, after a groan, he took a picture, attached the words, ‘Come get your goddamn kid’ to the message, as well as the coordinates, and sank back to a position where he could watch over Tim, but not be seen.
The message reached who it was supposed to–Batman showed up, scooped up Robin with a sigh after checking to be sure it wasn’t a trap.
Jason never did get the full story on why the hell Tim decided to take a nap in an alley–but he was sort of glad there was photo evidence of it.
4. Steph’s favorite story of Tim falling asleep was not her favorite at the time. They’d been together, dating, and had finally found a break to get together and, ahem, get things on.
Which mostly meant heavy kissing at that point, but still, Steph enjoyed it a lot. It just felt special when it came to Tim, like every little thing mattered more than it had with a lot of previous boyfriends. Sure, sometimes they fought, but she still adored her dork.
And was he ever a dork.
She was kinda leaning over him, him on his back against the sofa arm, and yeah, he’d kinda ended up that way very easily, which Steph had taken as a trust thing, and they were kissing pretty passionately–or, at least, Steph soon realized she was.
Tim’s lips had slowly gotten less and less responsive, and then, nothing–except a small snore.
The exact words that went through Stephanie’s mind at that moment were ‘What the fuck?’
Tim was definitely asleep, head resting against the couch arm and Stephanie’s hand where she’d been holding the back of his head. His whole body was limp, slightly curled in, and exuding that soft sleep heat.
At first, she’d been kind of hurt. She literally had her body against his, she was making out with him (and doing a damn fine job of it, thank you), he should not have been able to fall asleep.
But then she sighed, snapped a picture and sent it to Barbara (’Get a load of this dork–what a romantic evening, right?’) and then instantly regretted it–Tim might not like that. She didn’t want to hurt his feelings.
Not much she could do now, though.
It blew over, Barbara kept it to herself–and Tim got a night’s rest, cuddled under Steph’s aubergine fleece blanket.
5. Damian wanted everyone to understand that he only took a picture so they would believe him. It was not part of their ridiculous game.
Who slept partway in the fridge, after all?
But there he’d been, one hand in the meat and cheese drawer and the rest of him pressed against the cool plastic of the lower drawers. Damian would think, if not the cold, the light would at least keep him awake, but neither seemed to bother him.
Damian watched him a moment. Tim had seemed very on edge lately, he thought. Of course, Damian could not recall a time he himself had relaxed in the way shown on the strange TV shows, but he got the feeling normal, weak people needed to.
And Timothy Drake was definitely weak.
So, Damian took a picture, so no one could accuse him of trying to murder Tim (again), and dragged his stupid, dead-weight body off to bed.
And no, he did not tuck him in, he just dumped his body on the bed. It only happened by coincidence that his head head ended up on the pillow and he was mostly covered by the blanket.
That picture was not one Damian saved, thank you. And he didn’t look at it on occasion when he needed to be reminded of Tim’s humanity or the not so scowling, ‘I hate the demon spawn’ look on his face.
Honestly the cutest thing I have EVER watched!! Go watch Yolins mini Go Robins episodes right now!!
