And in the end we are all just humans, drunk on the idea that love, only love could heal our brokeness.

Imagine if Will came to know about all the shit James and Lucie have been up to in TLH.

Will: Someone please tell me what the fuck is going on

James: I was emotionally chained by a bracelet given to me by Grace Blackthorn.

Lucie: I’m in love with a ghost. His name is Jesse.

James: And I burned down Blackthorn manor the day Cordelia said she was with me.

Lucie: I can command ghosts to do whatever I want and destroyed Gast’s spirit that way.

James: Cordelia and I are in a fake marriage but I think we’re in love now.

Lucie: I’ve been dabbling in necromancy with Malcolm Fade and Grace.

James: And we stole a pyxis from Hypatia Vex and tried to capture the manticore in it but that didn’t work out so I went to Belial’s realm and Cordelia stabbed him while I destroyed it.

Lucie: And then we found that Jesse was the one behind the murders but he was possessed by Belial so Cordelia stabbed him again and I stole Jesse’s body to raise him from the dead.

James: I confronted Grace about the bracelet but Cordelia thought I was cheating on her so she got upset and ran away with Matthew to Paris.

Lucie: Oh, yes, and Cordelia is now Lilith’s paladin and Matthew is an alcoholic.

Will: …

Will: …

Will: …

Will: *confused screaming*

Will: *sobs hysterically*

Tessa: I should have run away while I had the chance.

Will: JEM! JEM HELP! JEM I NEED YOU JEM PLEASE 

Jem: Your offspring, your problem.

Charlotte:
