Shield Me
by you_remind_me_of_the_babe
He’s so worked up his magic is leaking out all over the place. Sometimes when he gets like this, I’m tempted to pull him aside…I never do, though. Pull him aside. Or talk him down. Instead I just poke him until he goes off. That’s what Snow does best. He doesn’t plan, or strike—he just goes off, and when he does, he takes down everything in his path...I’ve seen it happen close up, standing right at his side. If Snow knows you’re there, he shields you. I don’t know how he does it, I don’t even know why. It’s just like him, really, to use what little control he has to protect other people. Carry On, Chapter 30What if Baz is so enamored by the fact that Simon can shield people when he goes off, that he purposefully prods Simon until he does go off, just to feel his protection? And what if one time that he tries it, it goes very, very wrong?
