Parabatai love: platonic, romantic ou something beyond?

You know, there's something that's been bugging me ever since I joined the TSC fandom in 2017, which is the way some fans get outraged when someone ships parabatai as a romantic couple. I know there are high controversies of what exactly the parabatai bond is all about, so I decided to give my opinion on it.

First of all, I'm not here to force you to like them romantically (because I myself am PASSIONATE about platonic connections), but rather to try to understand together how their bonding works.

There is a law that forbids them to love each other romantically, as old as any other Shadowhunters' law. And where there is a law, there are reasons. Jem explains a bit in TDA about the reason, and that the connection that exists between parabatai unleashes a man-made power, with no direct relation to the angels, which makes parabatai magic dangerous. In this case, it gives the pair such incredible power that it can turn them into either true nephilim (giants) or great mages. But since there is the corruption, in both cases where this happened there was chaos and destruction.

But while reading all of Cassandra's sagas, we come across at least one parabatai duo, from Robert and Michael to Emma and Julian. Several examples, several couples, and the most common thing about them is that one of them falls romantically in love with the other. Not in all, but so far in most cases. For me the reason is simple: the parabatai connection involves both platonic and romantic love.

Almost every time, it is mentioned that the connection is soulful, as if a part of their soul intertwines with their partner's, creating a kind of bond that simply does not exist in the world of men, mortal or immortal. It was a rune created by David and Jonathan with the intention of binding their souls to each other through the love they felt. A soul love is something beyond what we know.

Imagine loving a person so deeply, loving them more than you love your own soul to the point that it is impossible to compare even with lovers and children? Imagine feeling the presence of this person as a part of you that lives outside of your body and brings you peace and happiness? The way Cassandra wrote both Will and Jem and James and Matthew shows that deepness, that overwhelming affection. It is a love that blends the platonic and the romantic, where the characters love each other not as brothers, but beyond that.

So for me it is natural to read the books and feel the platonic affection that made us fall in love with the parabatai bond (and many of us, like me, have someone we consider our parabatai in real life) and also feel the vastness of the romantic love that exists between them. They love each other both ways and are not ashamed to admit it, it is so clear and at the same time a kind of love that those outside the parabatai bond would never understand in the TSC universe.

They love each other more than they love their own souls and that, to me, is the most beautiful kind of love there is.

So yes, do ship them romantically if you want, ou platonic if you prefer. By all means, the parabatai is just the BEST thing Cassandra Clare ever created in the TSC word, so enjoy it the way you want!

"Have you seen a paint set anywhere?" Clary was stopping a few people at a time in the park, not understanding where she could have lost them. Someone having seen them was a long shot at best, but she was getting desperate. "It's just that they were a gift from my mom and...she's not around anymore..." They were her special to her, so special in fact, that she only got them out for special occasions. She wasn't about to get into it with strangers, but hopefully they would understand what she was insinuating. "sorry to bother you...I just don't know what else to do...."

@walstarterblog

#open to anyone!#feel free to assume conntections as well #This is Clary from the immortal instruments/shadowhunters #please love my baaaaabe!

You guys know how cassie said that she’s hoping to write a series of short stories like the bane chronicles after twp? Well I bet it’s from another immortal but not main character. Maybe someone like Kieran or Ash.

Though he had lived a long time, he needed to travel light; to keep very few mementos of his past. He sensed somehow that they would weigh him down, keep him from moving forward. When you lived forever, you could spend only so much time looking back

Hi my name is Jace Wayland Morgenstern Lightwood Herondale and I have short gold hair (that’s how I got my name) with gold streaks and tawny tips and godly eyes like a hawk and a lot of people tell me I look like Jamie Campbell Bower (AN: and if you don’t know who that is get da hell out of here!) I’m related to Clary Fairchild but I wish I wasn’t because she’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a Shadowhunter but my hair is naturally blond.

(and if i couldn't walk) i'd crawl to you

Chapter 2 of 2 (Chapter 1)

Malec | Rated general | tw blood and injury

Day 24: Blood Covered Hands | “I don’t want to do this anymore.”

Summary: Magnus didn’t know how he could survive losing Alec.

A close call with a demon brings some suppressed emotions to light, and Alec surprises Magnus yet again. (aka I make Malec immortal, again.)

A/N: I wasn't planning to continue this but I decided against the fic I was considering writing for the 24th, so I wrote this instead! (psst Stubbrn this is for you)

Read it on AO3 or below the cut.

Jace’s message saved Alec’s life.

Magnus had caught it out of the air while in his apothecary, eyes scanning the bare lines for barely long enough to understand the meaning before he was building a portal and running, sprinting along the street towards the prone figure at the mouth of an alleyway. His mouth formed Alec’s name as he recognised the torn patrol gear, the stretched-out arm.

Alec was breathing, chest rising and falling although far too slowly, a pulse fluttering at his neck.

His stomach was torn open, blood pulsing out and pooling beneath him, a trail of darker dried blood leading back to a mess of ichor and blood at the back of the alley. Magnus’ magic wrapped around him without thought, without pause, without hesitation — its only goal was to heal the gaping hole, to ease the pain. He’d never specialised in healing magic, but now he willed the jagged edges together with all the power he could muster, an inefficient healing but an effective one. The ichor burns and smaller scrapes that covered Alec’s skin faded under the sheer force of magic. Only when Alec was stabilised, his breathing regular although his eyes were shut, did Magnus let the magic dissipate and take in the scene.

Judging by the amount of ichor, there must’ve been at least twenty demons killed here, most of them presumably at Alec’s hands. Arrows, an impressive arsenal of knives, and at least three seraph blades were scattered in the ichor; Magnus flicked his fingers to summon the weapons to him. There was Alec’s bow, unstrung and dripping ichor as though several demons had been impaled on it. His stele, broken in the fight.

Magnus eased Alec into his arms, cradling him against his chest. Magnus’ hands were covered in blood, Alec’s blood, from his clothes and from the ground; it’d been the blood loss more than the injury itself that’d sent Alec unconscious. The blood-replenishing potion Magnus kept in stock would come in handy.

He summoned a portal back to the loft.

Hours later, after Alec’s siblings had come and gone and Catarina had confirmed that Alec was fine and would wake up soon enough — with a glance at Magnus that told him she knew exactly how much extra energy he’d put into healing Alec properly — Magnus finally sat down at Alec’s bedside, the breath whooshing out of him.

He took Alec’s hand in his, feeling the beat of his pulse in his fingers, the warmth of his touch. It was a much-needed reassurance; he’d been downright terrified for a continuous half hour between getting Jace’s message, rushing to Alec’s side, and healing him. Unnecessary adrenaline was still pounding through his veins, whispering about what might have happened, what had almost happened, what could happen sometime in the future. The might-have-been, the almost, the what-if.

Magnus didn’t know how he could survive losing Alec.

The worst part was that, one day, he’d have to. Alec hadn’t died today, but he was still a Shadowhunter on active patrol duty, and it was part of who he was to risk himself. Even if Alec lived into old age, he’d still die one day, like every mortal Magnus had ever loved — except that Alec was more than anyone else he’d ever loved.

Shaking his head to clear it of his morose thoughts, Magnus snapped himself into pyjamas and climbed into the bed, curling his body protectively around him.

Alec would die one day, but he’d lived today, and that was what Magnus needed to focus on.

Magnus was still curled around Alec, fingers running through his hair, when Alec stirred and leaned deeper into Magnus’ chest with a soft sigh. Magnus didn’t stop stroking Alec’s hair, waiting for Alec to wake up fully.

“Good morning,” Alec murmured, eyes fluttering open, a smile pulling up his lips. Magnus felt himself smile in response, an instinctive thing born of relief and love.

“Good morning, love. How are you feeling?”

Alec didn’t immediately say “fine”, which was a good sign that his response was genuine and not an automatic denial that anything could be wrong. “Better,” he said at last.

Magnus’ magic was already winding around Alec’s injury, clearing away any lingering pain. Alec hummed and relaxed even more into Magnus’ arms.

Looking at him like this, calm and happy and safe, Magnus was torn between two impulses: the soul-deep love that he wanted to sink into, and the fear of losing all this, pulling him back and away.

Alec’s eyes blinked open again, as though he’d somehow caught the faint shift in Magnus’ emotions, and he focused on Magnus’ face, brow slightly furrowed. “Are you okay?”

“Fine,” Magnus said, and then regretted it because that was precisely what he was trying to train Alec not to do. Alec raised an eyebrow.

“I just — I was terrified,” Magnus confessed quietly, a bit of a half-truth but accurate all the same. “I thought — for a moment there, I thought I’d lost you.”

Alec’s eyes softened and his hold on Magnus grew firmer. “I’m here. I’m alright.”

“I know,” Magnus replied, shaking his head. You won’t always be, he wanted to say, but that would help nothing.

“If you know that,” Alec said, “then why are you still looking at me like I’m going to vanish before your eyes?”

Magnus shut his eyes and turned his head away as though that could help him hide from Alec. “It’s nothing. Residual fear.”

“This is more than that,” Alec said, still quiet, still gentle, still uncompromisingly loving. “Talk to me, Magnus. When things get tough, don’t push me away.”

In a breath, Magnus’ walls fell, and even though having this conversation could help nothing, the words spilled out anyway to stain this moment like ink. “You survived yesterday, but you won’t always survive. You’ll die one day, of a demon or of old age or of anything else, and there is nothing I can do except ward that moment off for as long as I can.” His eyes were still shut, but he could feel tears leaking out of the corners.

“You’ve lost people before,” Alec whispered. “You can lose me, Magnus. You can go on.”

“I’ve never lost anyone like you.” Magnus opened his eyes at last to meet Alec’s, unglamoured, more vulnerable than he’d been with anyone else. “I’ve never loved anyone like you, Alexander, and I don’t know how to go on without you.”

Alec cupped his face in one hand, cradling it like Magnus was the most precious thing in the world. “I don’t — I’m not that special, Magnus.”

Magnus let out a half-strangled laugh. “You are everything, Alexander. You are special, you are unique, you are more to me than anyone else. I don’t want to do this anymore, living with the knowledge that you’ll leave me one day through no fault of your own. It’s worth it, to have you now, but it breaks my heart every time I think about it, breaks my heart in a greater way than anyone else ever has. I want — I want a hundred selfish things, and the most selfish of all is that I want never to lose you.”

There was an uncertainty, a disbelief, in Alec’s eyes, as though he couldn’t quite comprehend the reality of meaning more to Magnus than anyone else had before. More than that, though, there was something more like pain, like the ache in Magnus’ soul reflected back in Alec’s eyes. “I don’t want you to lose me, either,” Alec whispered. “It’s not selfish to want that.”

He didn’t understand what Magnus meant. Shaking his head, Magnus traced patterns down Alec’s back. “I mean that I don’t want to ever lose you. Not today, not tomorrow, not in a hundred years, not in a thousand. I’m selfish enough to want you for my forever, not a mortal lifetime, because I can never have enough of you.”

“I know what you meant,” Alec said, certainty on his tongue. “And I want it, too.”

Magnus sat up quickly enough that Alec couldn’t hold him. “You don’t mean that. You don’t actually mean that. Nobody in their right mind would want that, Alexander, and I can’t hear you say that as though things could be anything but what they are.”

Alec sat up as well and caught hold of his arm. “I want to become immortal, Magnus, to stay with you as long as you’ll have me. I want it, and if that makes me out of my mind, then I don’t see much value in being in my right mind. I want that, Magnus.”

For a still moment, Magnus watched him, cataloguing every expression of his face in expectation of finding a lie there, an uncertainty, a naïvté about what he was signing up for.

There was nothing but love for him to find, and Magnus fell into his arms like his strings had been cut, like Alec was a star to pull him in. There were tear-tracks on his face, and he cradled Alec gently to protect the place where he’d been injured, and they still hadn’t talked about the practicalities of becoming immortal — but Alec wanted this, and that was everything.

“Don’t leave me,” he whispered into Alec’s chest, curling around him while Alec held him close in a reversal of their earlier positions. “Don’t leave me, Alexander, don’t you ever leave me—”

“I won’t,” Alec said, soothingly, calmly, an oath that wrapped around Magnus like the warmth of Alec’s arms. “I’m never going to leave you.”

Magnus let himself believe it.

fic author interview

stealing this from @glorious-spoon because it looks fun - essentially a q&a for fanfic writers. tagging @elisedonut, @broomsticks, @felixantares, @certifiedbisexualdisaster and whoever else feels like doing it!

How many works do you have on AO3?

75.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

254,450 words.

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Mostly my Percy stuff with my most popular shadowhunters work thrown into the mix.

a study of cracked gold (1662)

everything not black and blue (1311)

whispers got nothing on the truth (1058)

why do i care at all (495)

falling from dusk into dawn (408)

4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Ideally, I would love to respond to comments, but practically I don't because they pile up, I get busy and stressed. It's often a choice between replying and writing - I normally chose writing. But I do read and appreciate all my (non-rude) comments.

5. What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

the storm howls, and everything turns to ashes is absolutely brutal malec MCD I wrote for Shadowhunters Ficlet Instruments in 2019.

On par with this is:

Imelda finding her husband's dead body: if i fall

Magnus forgetting Alec: i miss all the times we had

All the Blacks dying: dreaming of a happy ending

Writing stories with tragic endings is fun!

6. What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?

A lot of my fics sit in the grey area of happy endings but not like, butterflies and rainbow. It's hard to say.

If pushed, I would say i just want to be wanted. It's a relatively light pining get-together malec fic at ~3.7k that ends with them getting together. I say it's my happiest because it has a clean, tidy resolution, without lingering existential angst.

7. Do you write a cross-overs?

I have written cross-overs. I have day-dreamt about cross-overs. I have not yet published any.

Mishmashing different fandoms is really fun. The Old Guard x Shadowhunters fic with Magnus running into the immortals in 17th century England and saving Quynh with his magical skills... I love the idea. Be great to write at someday.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Not outright death-threats or the like, but I've had weird, entitled comments.

The most akin to a hate comment was someone disliking my fic because I made a disparaging comment about 1984 in it. That was weird.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

No. Just not my thing.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope.

12. Have you co-written a fic before?

Also no.

13. What's your all time favourite ship?

I do not have one, overall. The perils of having multiple fandoms.

14. What's a WIP that you want to finish but think you never will?

My malec wwii AU. It's 42k and contains some really good writining, but it would take so much effort to make it publishable.

Also, that is the angstiest ending I've ever written. I wrote a lot just for that ending.

15. What are your writing strengths?

I am very good at generating ideas and writing introspection, particularly of the existential nature. This helps a lot when writing character studies!

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Dialogue. And long plotty stuff. Fuck dialogue, it always feels so... stilted and awkward.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in fic?

If it is small phrases like si, senora, ciao, that's fine. I write a little Spanish in my Coco fic, following the style of the movie. But I'm not going to go into full blown sentences - the characters in my Coco fics are definitely speaking Spanish, but my grasp of Spanish is not good enough + it's generally confusing for most readers.

18. What's the first fandom you wrote for?

Published? Harry Potter in 2017, buried at the back of my AO3 page. Written? Total Drama. It exists, somewhere.

19. What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?

The Old Guard! Feels like a fun sandbox to explore and I think the fandom is cool (all the drama had boiled off before I watched the movie last year).

20. What's your favourite fic that you've written?

falling from dusk into dawn because it's my longest published fic, it was a labour of love, and I'm really proud of its construction.

Idk if you're taking requests at all or anything for the Phantom Chronicles on ao3, but I loved the au where Luke was a vampire and Julie was a werewolf. But it would be really fun to see a "canon" version of that where Luke becomes a vampire? Idk anything about Immortal Instruments, never read the books or watched the show, so no idea if it's possible in the lore but... it'd be like opposite of the angst from when Julie lost her memory. If not! Absolutely no worries at all! Then all I'm here to do is tell you the series is AMAZING and you've done some great stuff! <3

Okay, to be honest my plan right now is to try and finish all the requests I've left aside for so long😅 However I had not gotten a request for this series in so long and this ask made me squeal in surprise😅

Also thank you so so much for reading, I'm so glad to know you're enjoying the series🥺🥺

Technically Shadowhunters could turn into vampires although I don't think we've seen it happen in the canon of the books or show (unless I'm forgetting something important😅). To be fair though it is a huge change and I'm not sure if I can make it work in the canon of the series😅 I can however try and fit a bit more of the AU Luke and Julie in there...👀

#thank you so much for thissss #the phantom chronicles requests #the phantom chronicles

⸻ They say the first vampires were said to have been created in 1444 A.D. in a public ceremony. The Greater Demon Hecate was summoned in a massive blood-based sacrifice held at the Court of Wallachia (modern-day Romania). Its then ruler, Vlad III, had a great circle of prisoners of war impaled on tall wooden spikes. In exchange for this sacrifice and act of savagery, Hecate transformed Vlad and a large majority of his court into the first vampires .

⸻ it was what was said and what many believe. in truth , katya was the first and it wasn't by choice . Still , during those times she made quite the name for herself as your typical blood thirsty vampire . Until shadowhunters came for her , during those dark ages , Katya faked her death and they thought they killed vlad along with all the first made that day . Katya surviving that raid as she was the one who told them about them. After all , Vlad led a series of raids into neighboring Transylvania, where he and his men gorged themselves and spread vampirism through the entire region.

⸻ The city of Cluj becoming the site of the first vampire clan officially recognized by the Clave, and Transylvania became the epicenter of the vampire epidemic. while katya in those times didn't care , she knew vlad and his clan had to be stopped . Eventually, Vlad died, and vampire activity in Wallachia diminished to near silence, though there wasn't much in the area to begin with.

⸻ down the line that katya fell in love with a human for the first time. it was his love and care for her which directly aided her in recovering from the hardened, vengeful soul she had grown into because of her turning and family dying at her hands. It was his love, and his humanity that changed her worldview on the human race. Her lover died and in that love she remembered her humanity and learned to value life . All life, villain and friend alike, or even just creatures just out to survive, inadvertently harming others in its innocent goal.

⸻ She wants to understand a creature before she condemns it, and as often as she can, she gives any villain a choice, one chance to turn from their ways and go free. Katya has killed so often and already has so much blood on her hands that she wants no more in her old age, even if she must kill. But she has her limits and she will kill ... because of this she is very dangerous, her abilities and because her emotions are so transparent and intense. Her dark side is her righteous anger, intensified by personal loss. After losing her lover, and faced with an enemy , she shows a vengeful side that is inhuman. Katya a woman of no second chances. so when she holds in her anger, she is being merciful.

⸻ Once the accords were first made, she became leader and vampire representative and has been ever since. While she wants to trust shadowhunters, she knows they are flawed but she wants to simply keep the peace . Yet six years ago when going on business with the council made her question that. Anger flared up when they blamed a vampire . So when malcom came , she told him the truth .

⸻ ever since then , the shadowhunter and her had a strange connection . Was it strange when she knows exactly what ? it was something she promised herself never to explore . Yet , she feels protective of the shadowhunter and doesn't want anything to happen to him .
