Here is a friendly reminder: that Clary once poked Jace in the arm, because she remembered sometimes she wondered if he was real because he's so gorgeous, and that Jace said "Ow." When she did

Saya tidak tahu apakah saya telah menggunakan bahasa ini (ingatan saya buruk) tetapi saya akan tetap menggunakannya untuk menghormati kesempatan itu dan Magnus Bane kita yang cantik. Jadi, Hei! Kami akhirnya di sini! Setelah hampir 4 bulan kan? Wow. Mari kita mulai bisnis <3
Love is real everytime Alec calls Magnus "Baby"
I support Alec killing Asmodeus
“You what?” I honestly don't know why he is surprised...
Max was planning everything from there right???
"Like the time Max had found Magnus crying in the bathroom on Alec’s 30th birthday." Bro. Bro, you can't add angst to the ANGST!! That's cruel
Hell yeah Alec! No more sacrificing themselves!
No, you didn't add the picture Dani!!!!
“It’s you. It's us. It’s my family. The thought of you all always brings me peace.”💙💙
“Let’s go bring that little shit back home,” I know I have already said I love them but I don't care ✨I love them✨
“It’s draining them.” Why am I not surprised? Wait. But Gigi was holding it last chapter.... Yeah, it's a lot of power
Fuck. I also hoped it would be Alec 😂 Will it be Gigi then? Or Lexi?
The day I can read this without expresions, I will be ready to play poker
OMG OMG THE LETTER!
Ok, I have a lot of thoughts on that letter! First of all WOW, I’m screaming and I want to cry. Second, Max is fucking right!!! Like… Magnus has been there for the entire world and will always be all his life🥺🥺 All the letter makes me scream and “So, I am asking for your power – for I cannot think of a better reason than to save Magnus Bane.” FUCKING RIGHT!! AND THE FACT THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD WENT!!! This is the most beautiful shit EVER. I rest my case. I still have so much to say…
“You have no idea how much you mean to people,” THIS!!! I love you, but you are sooo stupid
“Magnus Bane,” Alec said. “For once in your life, sit back and let us do the work.” (FUCK YES DUDE!!! I’M LOVING SO MUCH HERE💙💙)
“They had come. The shadow world. They had come to fight for him.” Of course they did!!!!
I FUCKING HATE ASMODEUS
Omg they named it Karma😂😂
“Don’t underestimate my upper body strength,” she winked at Alec and flew upwards. “Damn, okay then,” Alec let out a soft chuckle. (*sigh* I’m in love)
The parallel with “I can’t feel it. I can’t feel my heart”??? Hurts
David😭😭
“I’m sorry. Bapak is sorry. Please. Baby. Come back.” I’m totally not crying. It 's just dust..
“No!” Alec roared. “Fuck off!” (Alec is my spirit)
I was wrong before. Chopin is the REAL MVP and he will stay in that position forever. I will forever be grateful 💙💙
I FUCKING NEEDED THAT HUG!! OMG I’M CRYING
GO OFF MAX. KILL HIM PLEASE!
He felt Max soften against him. “Crazy warlock.” “Takes one to know one,” Magnus pointed out. (I WOULD DIE FOR YOU TWO)
UDHFERIU CLASE!!!! LOVE THEM. THEY ARE GORGEOUS AND AMAZING🥺🥺“Jace,” Clary murmured against his lips. “We are in hell.” “Didn’t stop us before,” Jace grinned against her mouth. (omg, worst of all is that it's true😂)
ALEC!! I’M DYING😂😂😂
✨Maryse, Emma and Tessa✨
Simon and Jace are dumbasses (affectionate)
HE CALLED JACE PAPA!! I’M GONNA CRY BRO!!!
HOLY FUCK HE CALLED CLARY MAMA!! MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!! HE CAN PICK HER UP!!!
THIS SHIT IS BEAUTIFUL. That family reunion is the best thing I’ve witnessed and I will never recover 💙💙
Yeah, Selena is going to need therapy. I hope the best for her
HE. FUCKING. WHISTLED. Omg…😂😂
HEVFIUEWDHWIUE GABRIEL!!! THEY ARE HERE!! AND THEY CALLED HER SIRENITA!!! I truly appreciate this <333333 Also my sister is concerned for me…
SELENA, MY QUEEN
Jace is a cinnamon roll🥺
THAT FUCKING FAMILY IS THE DEATH OF ME. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. WOW
“He had to be there for his friend.” Jace and Magnus’ friendship is something else>>>>
💙MAVID💙
Alec loves David and he knows it :)
“I have to put an arrow through my father-in-law.” Valid
JACKSON!!! YESSSS. I love him not giving a shit lmao😂
MY FUCKING LONDON BUYS HOLY SHIT YES!!!
Normal. Bonding with your brother-in-law over being alive…
ROSEWOOD!!!
“Shut your sexy mouth, Julian Blackthorn,” >>>>
Asmodeus annoys the shit out of me
Magnus protection squad is here, like.. literally, so stay the fuck away
"She is precious cargo!" YES SHE IS!!!
LBAF GANG TOGETHER!! THEY ARE AN AMAZING TEAM AND I STAN!!
“For Magnus Bane!” FOR MAGNUS FUCKING BANE!!
Max is right tho…. And David is beautiful
OMG THAT KISS!!!
“Mon ange,” David whispered. “Don’t be afraid. Not of who you are.” (This man couldn’t be more beautiful)
He smiled at his boyfriend – for he only ever thought and felt one thing when it came to the blue warlock. “Max Lightwood-Bane,” David mouthed. “I fucking love you.” 💙💙💙💙💙💙
OMG THAT WHOLE SCENE WAS JUST AMAZING AND WOW. AND (“Let go,” David whispered and crashed their lips together. And the sky exploded.) WOW. THE POWER, THE LOVE, THE-
“Alec had never been prouder of Max than in that moment.” We can’t possibly hate Asmodeus more than Alec hates him
Fuck this shit. The entire shadow world protecting Magnus is the greatest view and I might cry again because they are all protecting him and ready to kill and for once he is the one being protected and wow
“It was an odd feeling to be able to hold your entire world in your hands. But Alec was one of those lucky people.” I honestly don’t have more expressions left to say how perfect they are together
“Because even though it was the meaning of Alec’s name, Magnus was the ultimate protector out of them all. He was a protector. Not a destroyer.” Yes he is and we love him so fucking much💙💙💙
Rafael, Max and Alec fighting their way to Magnus. Fuck if I love this fic
Yes!! He punched him!! Thank you!!!! I LOVE IT DHIEWU
A lil scared of Max, ngl
Oh great!! It isn’t Magnus!!!
FUCK FUCK FUCK
“I am who I am,” Magnus said. “And it has nothing to do with you.” >>>>>
Magnus won’t do shit and I would die for him for that (yes, the irony is strong)
Bro… All of them smiling and Max giving Asmodeus the middle finger… 💙💙💙💙
OH SHIT NO NO NO
“It was one of Alec’s arrows.” I FUCKING HATE IRONIES
DAVID DID IT DJDSNDSJN. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD YESSS I ALREADY KNEW IT BUT YESSS!!! MAX FUCKING SAID IT. ASMOUDEUS SHOULD HAVE BEEN AFRAID OF DAVID!!!
“I told you,” David said, his voice a deadly whisper as he stabbed the prince of hell in the chest again – just because he could. “I don’t like shitty fathers.” (THAT WAS SO SATISFACTORY AND HOLY FUCKING SHIT YESS!!!)
“Oh god,” Max croaked. “I’m so turned on right now.” “Shut up, you little shit,” (Honestly, I have no complaints this being the first joke after Asomdeus died😂😂)
“Magnus was sitting there, blue magic streaming from his hands.” HOLY FUCK MY BABE IS SO POWERFULL!!!
“Maybe Alec was a little turned on too.” Seriously, this family needs help😂
They are royalty!! And Max is fucking double royalty!! How tf does that work??
“Should I bow before you?” Alec asked with a grin. “You can kneel in front of me later,” Magnus grinned back. (Istg, my whole family heard me fall of my chair laughing holy shit 😂😂😂)
The smile that was worth going to hell for – once, twice, and thrice. And however many more times necessary. “It’s over.” (Wow. This is it. I seriously have a lot of thoughts but I’m too shocked to put them here. Everything here was bjcbdhcjd I don't know how to describe it. Stunning. I. FUCKING. LOVED. IT💙💙)
Istg reading your fics is a combination of: “Cc take notes! This is the real tea” and “I thank all the Gods out there everyday that this isn’t canon” and I don’t know how to feel about that. But anyway, this is really long and now I have to go do a bunch of stuff so I’ll be here tomorrow with everyone losing their shit, you are a really amazing writer and I’m always impressed with what you come up with. Ily💙💙💙💙
Selamat tinggal! Beristirahatlah dengan serius karena ini adalah hal yang liar dan Anda pantas mendapatkanny. Cinta Kamu <33
I don't know how but the moment I saw the alphabet I just knew. I knew it was Indonesian and I just felt so overwhelmed that I had to take a fucking moment.
It's perfect. You're perfect.
And yeah omg I can't believe we've been through this for four fucking months. We are the real heroes lol.
Thank you so much for all this love.
Reading your reactions and watching how much you love these characters has been a blessing.
Love you! 💙💙

My contribution to the Jalec Gift Exchange! For @willowsmarika - I hope you will enjoy it! ;)
Shadow Lane was what constituted a shopping mile in their cozy little town of Idris.
Alec and his sister Isabelle owned a flower-shop on Shadow Lane. Well, originally it had belonged to Isabelle's boyfriend Meliorn before he moved away. At first, Alec had not been a fan. Just because Isabelle's relationship had fallen apart and she somehow ended up with a flower-shop, he had to step in and help? But in the end, that was just who Alec was and what Alec did. He'd always help his sister when she needed him. And over the past two years, Alec had to admit, he had really come to like the place. They had made it their own. They were their own bosses, had found their own place in this community. Alec was proud of what they had built.
"I miss good coffee!"
Alec's eyebrow twitched as he looked up at his co-worker. The first person Alec and Isabelle had hired an accountant. Simon Lewis. Mostly, really annoying for Alec, but the guy did his job well. He had helped Isabelle and Alec a lot in establishing their shop. While he did annoy Alec, Alec had also grown slightly fond of Simon – though mainly because Isabelle was more than just fond of Simon. To the point that, a year after Simon started working for them, the two started dating. Back then, Alec had called it a horrendously bad idea. By now, he might have to admit that the two of them were actually rather... good together. Alec knew that most of the time, Isabelle used her body and charms to get people. But Simon had, first of all, fallen in love with her mind and her heart.
"Simon, you're not the only one to miss Java Jones", sighed Lydia. "But according to the sign, they'll reopen this week, right?"
Lydia had been the second person they had hired, as a help in the shop. She had also, over the past year, become Alec's best friend. Not that he had ever had a best friend before. He had always been a bit of a loner, only being around his siblings.
"Tomorrow is the grand re-opening", chimed Isabelle with a smile as she entered the backroom. "Though it's now called Java Jace and it's under new management."
"As long as they make coffee", mumbled Simon, staring longingly at their coffee-maker.
And granted. Neither of the four had ever quite mastered the art of coffee-making. Not that Alec cared much, he was a tea-guy. Lydia and Isabelle loved the fancy coffees though.
"You know, I think we should bring maybe some flower-pots over to greet the new neighbor?", suggested Lydia thoughtfully, adjusting one of the small pots. "Table decoration for them, a good way to assure a good relationship with our coffee-supplier for us."
"That... is actually a good idea", hummed Alec thoughtfully.
"Ye—es. Let's gather up flowers, go over there and hope they'll give us free coffee as thanks!", exclaimed Simon, hastily getting up and grabbing a few flower-pots.
"...He hasn't had good coffee in weeks", offered Isabelle with a fond smile and a shrug. "Come on."
Heaving a sigh, Alec caved. He knew he was outnumbered. Each of them took three of the tiny flower-pots and they left the shop, Alec locking up after hanging the CLOSED sign in. He trailed after the girls and Simon. Java Jones – no, now Java Jace – had gotten a new coat of paint. A soft, pastel red. Warm and inviting. The sign over the door now read Java Jace, in golden letters, with a drawing of a steaming mug next to it. It looked nice. And closed.
"They're only opening tomorrow", sighed Alec. "There's no way-"
"Let's knock and see!", suggested Simon with a bright smile.
Alec rolled his eyes at that, while Lydia knocked with a smile. It took a moment and there was some cussing from inside, before the door opened. Alec nearly dropped the flower-pots. There, in the doorway, stood an angel. Sure, it was the light from inside that made him glow like he had a halo, bust still. That soft smile, the way his golden-blonde hair fell into his face, the mismatched eyes.
"We're not open yet. We open tomorrow", supplied the blonde, still smiling kindly.
"Ye—eah we saw. Hey. We're from the flower-shop", offered Simon, returning the blonde's smile and pointing behind them. "We figured a little welcome to the neighborhood would be nice."
"A bit decoration for your shop", added Isabelle, holding up the plants. "I'm Isabelle. Those are Simon, Lydia and Alec. Welcome to the neighborhood."
"Oh", grunted the blonde surprised. "I... Thank you. I'm Jace. Come... in?"
He stepped aside, motioning for them to follow him. Simon whistled in appreciation as they looked around. It was all soft pastel colors. The walls in mixes of white, red, pink, orange – like a sunset, with the sun itself being painted behind the counter. It was all very warm and homey and soft. Alec liked it. The old Java Jones had been a very generic coffee-shop. This had more personality.
"So, you're the new owner, huh?", asked Simon looking around.
"What gave it away? My name in golden letters on the building?", snarked Jace.
Alec made a little sound. He liked this one. Jace grinned and went behind the counter.
"Love what you did with the place", smiled Isabelle.
"Thanks. So, can I get you-"
"Yes!", interrupted Simon eagerly.
Alec glared pointedly at him. "I'm sorry for him. My team's been on withdrawal ever since Java Jones closed its doors. The only coffee-shop anywhere close-by."
Jace smiled, soft and gentle and very charming. "It's okay. So, what can I get you guys? A coffee is the least I can do for you, those flowers are beautiful."
And they actually fit the establishment well. Small in soft blue and pink and yellow, the flower-pots in various pastel colors. They were a really great seller for decorative purposes. Cheap, small, cute. Things that always sold when it came to flowers. Alec turned to watch Jace behind the counter, gracefully navigating along as he prepared what Isabelle had ordered.
/break\
"Morning, Alec. The usual?", asked Jace with that soft, sweet smile of his.
Alec looked at him and sighed. He had started to volunteer bringing the team their coffee-fix every morning, because it meant he would get to spend five minutes just looking at Jace, being in his presence. And Jace's smile, oh it brightened Alec's whole day. Jace was so beautiful and sweet and Alec was really falling for the gorgeous blonde, he knew that. He knew he was risking his heart here. Falling for Jace was not going to go well for Alec. Alec was an absolute disaster in the relationship-department. It was a mess, had always been. He sucked at asking people out. And whenever he looked at Jace, all he could do was smile helplessly and be lost for words.
"There you go. Have a good day, Alec", smiled Jace.
Alec nodded jerkily and accepted the cup-holder with the four cups. He barely made it to the exist before he was stopped by someone at one of the tables clearing his throat.
"You know, as mysterious as the quiet, broody attitude is... you could... talk to him."
"Magnus", sighed Alec, looking at the business-man.
Magnus smiled charmingly, kicking the chair opposite him to be in Alec's way. Alec took the unwanted invitation and sat down with his ex-boyfriend and close friend. The two of them had been dating for a couple of months, but it had been quite the disaster, riddled with different life-goals and miscommunication. Alec had still been in the closet when they had met and it had just all been too much too quick. In the end, they broke up and managed to stay friends though.
"He's cute", noted Magnus, jerking his head toward the counter. "Pretty blonde with a pretty smile. Also, his coffee is to die for. Really. Bat has to physically drag me out of here some days."
Alec smiled faintly at that. Bat was the new one. At first, Magnus had been really awkward about talking to Alec about Bat – seeing as the two had history. But in the end, their friendship won over. Bat had started as a DJ at Pandemonium a year ago and nine months ago, Magnus had finally asked him out. They were cute. Alec just wished they wouldn't be so invested in his love-life. Three months ago, Magnus and Bat had tried setting Alec up with John Underhill, who while a very nice guy, definitely did not click with Alec at all. It had been very awkward. Though they still talked occasionally and had developed a kind of friendship.
"Magnus, no", stated Alec firmly.
"Magnus, yes", countered Magnus with a mischievous grin, before it dropped into a gentle smile. "Alexander, you are a wonderful person. But you are burying yourself in your work. You literally live in your shop – above your shop, but that's essentially the same. All you do is work. You deserve to be happy too. I know what we had didn't work out, but that shouldn't mean you should stop looking for someone. Your sister and Simon are planning their wedding. I've seen the longing in your eyes, Alexander, do not deny it. You want that kind of happiness too."
Alec gritted his teeth. Magnus did know how to read him. Or, how to read people in general.
"I can't just... ask him out on a coffee", grumbled Alec frustrated.
"Yes. A coffee might be a bad choice", agreed Magnus amused. "Considering this is his place of work and if you make him serve you two during your first date..."
"You know what I meant, Bane", groaned Alec irritated.
Magnus laughed, shaking his head in amusement. "I couldn't resist, my apologies. But, why? Why can't you just go to the beautiful barista and ask for a date?"
"Mh. Not my type. But handsome."
Both Alec and Magnus startled and turned toward the woman. Maia smiled amused and shook her head as she placed a plate with a blue cupcake in front of Alec. Aside from Jace, two women worked at the coffee-shop – Maia Roberts and Clary Fray.
"I didn't order anything?", asked Alec confused, looking at the pretty cupcake.
"Compliment of the owner", smirked Maia knowingly. "Now, if you'll excuse me. I have to go be a beautiful barista again. But, you know, if by any chance you weren't talking about me, I think you might have better chances at not being rejected, Lightwood. A hint: I'm not talking about Clary."
She winked at Alec and went back to join Jace behind the counter again, helping with the morning rush. Alec blushed as he looked from the cupcake over to Jace. Jace offered a shy smile, tucking his golden-blonde hair back behind his ear before returning his attention to the customer in line.
"Okay, here's an ultimatum: You ask him out, or I will. He's precious", stated Magnus.
"You already have a boyfriend!", exclaimed Alec irritated.
"You know what's better than having one? Having two", smirked Magnus with a wink.
Groaning, Alec grabbed his cupcake and the drinks, before he left the shop.
/break\
"Those are beautiful, I want two dozen."
"...Did you screw up, Bat?", asked Isabelle suspiciously.
"What? No!", exclaimed Bat offended. "It's actually our ten-month-anniversary."
"...That's not a thing, right?", grunted Isabelle disturbed.
"It's not a thing-thing, but...", drawled Bat with a shrug. "Magnus is great. He's sweet and thoughtful and filthy rich. Seriously. There's not much I can give him on the material front. So, picking up a bouquet of beautiful flowers for my beautiful boyfriend every month, that's really not much but it makes him smile. And I like when he smiles."
"So sappy", whispered Lydia beneath her breath.
"Shush it. Regular customers are important", grinned Isabelle as she wrapped the flowers.
"So, has your brother asked out Jace yet?", asked Bat curiously while digging out the money. "Seriously, I've seen him look at Jace with heart-eyes on multiple occasions of getting breakfast with Magnus after a long night of work at the club. It's kinda cute. But it's been going on for a month now and... it starts getting more pathetic than cute, really."
"Agreed", chorused Isabelle and Lydia with a sigh.
"So he still hasn't asked Jace out then", concluded Bat with a frown.
"...Can you people stop talking about me like I'm not in the room?", asked Alec exhausted.
Bat grinned unapologetic and went over to kiss Alec's cheek, making the florist blush in annoyance. "You're too cute when you're pouting and brooding, Alec. I totally get what Mag saw in you and what Jace sees in you. So, how about you move your pretty ass over to Java Jace and get yourself that pretty ass and then the four of us could go on a double-date?"
"Get out of here, Velasquez", grumbled Alec irritated.
But before leaving, Bat put some extra money on the counter and grabbed one of the bouquets of lavender roses. Love at first sight. With a fond smile on his lips did Bat hand the flowers to Alec.
"Go get yourself a pretty baker", ordered Bat. "Now."
"I swear, you're as bad as Magnus", groaned Alec.
"Thank you", grinned Bat. "Anyway, running late for dinner! Be good. Get a boyfriend!"
Alec heaved a sigh and stared at the roses. Why was everyone in his life so invested in his love-life? This was absolutely ridiculous! He couldn't just go to Jace and-
"Those are pretty. I didn't... I thought Bat was with Magnus? I didn't know you two..."
Alec stared surprised up at Jace, who in return was looking at the flowers with something akin to disappointment. "W... What? No. Those aren't. No. Bat didn't. We're not."
"That's not how the English language works, Alec. Try stringing multiple words together to a coherent sentence, using a subject verb object structure", offered Lydia kindly.
"You can fuck off", growled Alec irritated.
"There you go", smirked Lydia knowingly. "And yes, Bat and Magnus are dating."
"Then why did he give you flowers?", asked Jace a bit confused.
"Yes, Alec, why did he give you flowers?", pressed Isabelle pointedly.
"Don't you people have actual work to do?", asked Alec irritated, glaring at Lydia and Isabelle until the two women left the shop to go to the backroom. "I... he told me... There is someone I like and Bat insists I should give him the flowers. Try my luck."
"Sounds like... a good plan. Those flowers are beautiful", offered Jace with a smile. "What's stopping you? I mean. You could do it without the flowers too. Just one of your smiles and the guy should be swept off his feet, really."
"My... My smiles?", asked Alec surprised, cheeks heating up.
"You have a really nice smile, Alec", confirmed Jace gently, his own cheeks red.
"Here", grunted Alec awkwardly, thrusting the flowers out for Jace to take.
Confused, the blonde looked from the flowers to Alec. "But you just said..."
"Yeah", nodded Alec, knowing he was very flustered right now. "...Yeah."
"Oh", whispered Jace, barely audible, as he accepted the flowers. "Uhm... Thank you?"
"Wow. You're both equally bad at this", muttered Simon in awe.
"Get out of here and go to the backroom to annoy your fiance!", barked Alec out.
"Right. Just. Let me fix this real quick, yeah?", interjected Simon. "Jace, Alec likes you. Alec, Jace likes you. Me and Izzy have a reservation at the Jade Wolf in half an hour. Why don't you two take that and go? Izzy will man the shop a little longer."
Jace's eyes widened and he looked from Alec to Simon and back. Alec shrugged a little awkwardly. Might as well, right? Otherwise, he was just going to be even more awkward about actually asking Jace out on a proper date. The way Jace smiled at him at that made his heart flutter.
"Tha—at was really sweet of you, babe", whispered Isabelle as soon as Alec and Jace were out of the shop, wrapping her arms around Simon's waist from behind.
"So you're not mad I just canceled our date and got you more work?", asked Simon with a grin.
"It's for my brother", smiled Isabelle, kissing Simon's cheek.
/break\
"Alec does you good. You're been so... balanced and happy lately", whispered Clary.
Jace startled a little and turned toward the redhead. "I... Maybe I have. He's... He's so sweet, Clary. He's so... gentle and caring and... and... loving."
Clary blinked surprised at the raw emotion in Jace's voice. She really liked her boss. She had started working at Java Jace after it opened, to earn some money beside her studies, but she had genuinely grown fond of Jace. And she knew something was wrong with Jace – in the way that there was something in his past, something that hurt him. While he was all soft smiles and kindness toward everyone, she had seen him flinch at the smallest touch. With Alec, over the past weeks, Jace had started to actually lean into the touch. Alec was good for Jace, genuinely good for him.
"So the two of you are going away for your one month anniversary?", asked Maia teasingly.
"Jace shrugged with a half-pout. "It's... special."
"Leave them be, Maia", chided Clary, hitting Maia with her towel. "It's cute."
"Yeah, sure", grinned Maia and rolled her eyes. "Now get outta here, boy. We'll run your shop while you're playing Red Riding Hood in the woods with your hunter."
"...That's not how that fairy tale went... right?", asked Jace disturbed.
Clary laughed and shoved him off. "Get going, I'm sure Alec is already waiting for you."
Going upstairs, Jace grabbed his bag and took a deep breath. They were going on a couple's retreat together. A weekend away in the woods, just the two of them. Jace was very giddy about it.
"Hey babe", greeted Jace with a smile as he entered the flower-shop.
"Hey, sugar-plum", replied Simon with an exaggerated wink.
"Back off, nerd", warned Alec, not very amused, before pushing past Simon. "Hello, angel."
Jace's cheeks felt hot at the term of endearment. "I told you to stop calling me that."
"And I told you you're my angel", shrugged Alec with a smirk, kissing Jace.
"Enough with the PDA. Have fun on your trip", called Lydia out. "All will be taken care of."
Alec smiled at that and wrapped one arm around Jace's waist to pull him closer and kiss him. They were going to drive up to the mountain together – it was about three hours away. Jace didn't like being cooped up in enclosed space like that, but for Alec he could do it.
"I baked doughnuts and cupcakes for the way", offered Jace with a smile.
He lifted a see-through container and Alec groaned pleased. Doughnuts in all colors of the rainbow, in soft pastel colors. He licked his lips hungrily. Smiling amused, Jace popped the lid and took one out, dangling it teasingly in front of Alec. Before Alec could actually bite, Jace took the doughnut into his own mouth. Glaring at his boyfriend, Alec just bit off the other end.
"It's like Lady and the Tramp: Diabetes Version", cooed Simon.
"Let's get out of here", whispered Alec fondly.
/break\
Alec sighed and took a deep, slow breath, not opening his eyes. He smiled. It smelt like sugar and baked goods. A scent Jace just couldn't shake off and a scent that had come to make Alec really, truly happy. When he did open his eyes, he saw a blonde head laying on his chest, Jace cuddled up to his side and still deep asleep. Jace truly looked like an angel.
"I love you so much", whispered Alec in awe.
And he did. He had actually fallen in love with Jace. With every smile and every time Jace would drop by during lunch-break with pastries and every kiss and every hug. With how incredibly enthusiastic Jace had reacted when Isabelle had asked him to bake the wedding cake. With every blush when Alec would bring Jace flowers, even though they were more like a lazy gift considering Alec was literally running a shop filled with flowers. Just everything Jace did.
"Mh...", groaned Jace sleepily, nuzzling more into Alec's chest. "Why are you awake...? Stop it..."
"Stop being awake?", laughed Alec, kissing the top of Jace's head.
"Ye—eah", grumbled Jace. "It's too early. Go back to sleep."
"Come on", whispered Alec. "We can sleep back in the city. We gotta use our weekend here to actually do something we can't do at home, angel."
"But that involves leaving the bed", huffed Jace. "I am not a fan."
"You were a fan of us going swimming in the lake yesterday though", offered Alec.
"Well, yeah because that still involved you half-naked", argued Jace. "And wet. Wet suits you."
"Never expected you to be a pervert, Jace Herondale", teased Alec with a grin.
"You have corrupted me, Mister Lightwood", purred Jace with a grin to match Alec's.
"Okay, come on. Let's get going. We wanted to go climbing today", grinned Alec.
"We. You have such a weird way of pronouncing 'I wanted to go climbing and drag you, my poor boyfriend, along with me'...", grumbled Jace and sat up. "Urgh."
"Ah. Yes. It must be a burden to deal with me", chuckled Alec, shaking his head.
"When you go all 'let's move and be active'...", muttered Jace. "It's way too early. There's no way hiking and climbing before sunrise can be fun."
"I have plans. Just... trust me on this, angel", pleaded Alec and kissed his cheek.
/break\
"'Trust me on this', he said. 'I have plans', he said", mocked Jace irritated. "And look where it got you! Stuck on a damn cliff like a goat. Only that goats can get off the cliffs on their own."
Jace glared pointedly up at his boyfriend, who was holding onto the edge. Their secured rope had been not as secured as expected. They tumbled, as a whole, before Alec found a hold on the rocks, Jace still tied to him and also by now physically clinging onto Alec's waist.
"Less snark and sass. More helping", growled Alec before he took a sharp breath.
"Alec?", asked Jace concerned. "What... What is it?"
Looking more closely, he saw that Alec's right hand was not looking good and he was essentially holding them both up with only one hand. One hand that was slowly slipping further.
"You gotta hold onto the edge. Look there, that rock. You should be able to reach it", ordered Alec. "I can't... I can't hold much longer. You can hold onto that. You can make your way up then."
"Stop talking about me. What about you?", asked Jace wide-eyed. "Alec. Don't be an idiot."
"I'm not an idiot. But I brought you here. And I can't let anything happen to you", growled Alec.
"I...", started Jace, his heart jumping in his throat as he closed his eyes. "I can't let anything happen to you either, Alec. Because I love you. Close your eyes. Please."
"Y... You... You love me?", asked Alec surprised, heart skipping a beat.
"Please close your eyes, Alec. Everything will be fine", begged Jace. "Please trust me, Alec."
Alec didn't understand why, but he obeyed. He frowned and froze as he was lifted up. His hold on the wall loosened as he was... carried off, in lack of a better word. He just didn't know how that was even physically possible. He gasped when he touched down on solid ground.
"W—What... What did you do? How did-", started Alec startled.
His eyes flew open and they widened in surprise. Jace stood in front of him, head tilted down, looking rather small. If not for the large, creamy-white wings growing from Jace's back.
"My angel", whispered Alec stunned, blinking a couple of times. "I... Did I die...?"
Jace huffed, running his fingers through his hair. "This is why I keep telling you to stop calling me an angel. It freaks me out. The first time you did, I thought I had... accidentally.."
"Wait. Those are real? You... You're... an... an actual angel?", gasped Alec, stepping closer and raising a hand to touch, just to pause. "Can... Can I...? How is this possible...?"
"I... am an angel. Literally", whispered Jace lowly. "My mother, she was... pregnant with me when she was on Earth. Watching the humans. And... And one of them... captured and killed her. He... killed an angel. And he kept me. Raised me. Ex... Experimented on me. I escaped when I was ten and I... returned to heaven, but uncle Ithuriel, he... sent me back here. He saw I wasn't happy in heaven. It wasn't... I didn't know angels. I only knew humans. So I returned, later. And... I... started a human life, for myself. But I swore I wouldn't grow overly attached to any humans. And then you came along, with your flowers and charming smiles and compliments and... I wanted to tell you. Part of me wanted to tell you. The other part of me was so afraid, because humans knowing about what I am, well, it hasn't ended good in my experience. I... I'm sorry I lied. If this is too much and-"
"You're my angel", whispered Alec gently, smiling so blindingly bright as he wrapped his arms around Jace's waist and lifted him up to whirl him around before wincing.
"Yeah, we should... We should get you to a hospital", grunted Jace concerned, arms around Alec's shoulders. "And... And you don't have a problem with this? With... me...?"
"You're an angel. How... How could I possibly have a problem with that?", asked Alec stunned, peppering Jace's face with kisses. "I always said your baking is heavenly, but... now I have proof. Jace. What you said earlier – I love you too. I love you. And... And you being an actual angel is not going to make me love you less. Especially since you... you only used your secret to save my life. Even though you... you didn't want to share this. But I will protect your secret, Jace. I promise that I deserve your trust. And your love. You're... safe with me. I love you. I'll not let another human hurt you like that again, Jace. Not as long as I'm here."
And suddenly, his flustered florist looked like a determined warrior. Jace stared at him in awe before he leaned in to kiss him, smiling warmly into their kiss.

Hold Onto Me
This is a gift for my lovely friend @hikaru9. She requested a fluff fic for after 2x15 and it took me forever to get it done, but still here it is, Yuks! <3
Thank you so much to my lovely Parabeta, @sfjessii. She inspired me to finished this fic and I could not be more happy for it!
You can also read it here: Hold Onto Me
Also the rune is modeled after the plus happiness rune Matthew Daddario created. I have no art skills so it is cheesy but whatever I tried XD <3
Tumblr media
The song they dance to is Unsteady by Mo
Alec wakes up, fully prepared to count this as the fifth morning that he wakes up to an empty bed. He understands that Magnus has opened up to him about what he endured in Valentine’s body, but he doesn’t expect Magnus to just get better because of it. He wishes he could take the pain away from Magnus, make everything better. He rolls over and to his surprise Magnus is still in bed, and finally sleeping.
He moves closer, a soft smile on his face as he watches Magnus sleep. His fingers trace Magnus’ jawline, starting just behind his ear and making his way all the way down, over his chin, up to ghost over his lips. He watches as a tear slips from Magnus’ eye before kissing it away.
At least he is getting some sleep, Alec should be glad for that, but his sleep is not restful if he's still seeing the memories, memories that would still be repressed if Alec had only believed Magnus when he told him he was trapped in Valentine’s body. He had a part in this, in making Magnus relive his most horrifying memory.
He rolls back over onto his back staring up at the ceiling, one hand resting on his stomach, the other finding Magnus’ hand. He promised Magnus he would always be here and he meant it, nothing else matters right now.
“Alexander.” It is a soft whisper, followed by a series of kisses along his shoulder. “Are you okay?”
“I think I should be the one to ask you that, Magnus.” He sighs, turning his head to meet his love’s eyes, “Did you dream of it again?” Magnus nods.
“Talking about it didn’t really help.” He sighs, his chin resting on Alec’s shoulder. “I mean I am glad you know now, and that you still love me, but I just want the memories to go away.”
Alec leans in enough to kiss Magnus’ head, “Is there anything at all that I can do?”
Magnus shakes his head, “Not unless you have a rune that takes memories away.” When Alec is quiet, Magnus moves closer, “Thought so. But if it helps, I did sleep better last night actually staying in bed with you.”
“It only matters if it helps you, I just want you to not be in pain anymore.”
Magnus sits up, resting on his elbow as his free hand pats Alec’s chest, “One day at a time, my love. And for today, I am making breakfast.”
He kisses Alec quickly before jumping out of bed, and pulling on some boxers and his blue robe. “What are you in the mood for? Pancakes? Waffles? French Toast?”
“Why do all of those choices involve syrup?” Alec smirks.
Magnus only winks, before disappearing from the room.
~
Alec: I need a huge favor?
Clary: Anything, bossman… Name it?
Alec: I need a rune for making happy memories.
Clary: You create those on your own, Alec. A rune can't help with that.
Alec: Okay, but what I mean is that I need a rune that will make happy memories overpower the bad.
Clary: Are you okay? Do you have memories that are bothering you? I know we aren’t very close, but you can talk to me, Alec. I'm here for you.
Alec: I appreciate it, but this is for Magnus.
Clary: He can’t wear runes… Is he okay?
Alec: He is having a hard time since the Valentine thing. The rune will be on me, but I want to transfer, or use it to make our happiest memories come to the forefront of his mind over the bad ones I helped bring back to the surface.
Clary: You can’t blame yourself, Alec. You didn’t know…
Alec: I was unsure, but I should have known. Can you help me?
Clary: Let me see what I can do.
Alec: Thank you, Clary.
~
Alec climbs out of bed, dressing in his jeans and maroon t-shirt, before his phone goes off once more.
Clary: Here it is, Izzy volunteered to test it, and it works. You owe me?
Alec: How about my eternal gratitude, Fray?
Clary: Izzy said we will only accept payment in the form of details, such as how comfy is Magnus’ bed since you never sleep here anymore? Who is the little spoon? And does Magnus know you snore?
Alec: Bed is very comfortable, more so with Magnus in it. I am. Yes he knows. I will also say that you and Izzy are about one more question away from being demoted, test me ;)
Izzy: You wouldn’t…?
Alec: I would.
Izzy: Boxers or briefs?
Alec: After this Valentine mess is cleared up you can be on desk work.
Clary: Boxer briefs?
Alec: You can join her.
“Alexander?” Magnus calls from the kitchen, “Breakfast is almost ready.”
It is at this point that Alec realizes Magnus must have actually been cooking not just magicking up some food. He pops his head around the corner, “Smells great. I will be right out.” He checks the last message on his phone.
Jace: It’s cool, I stopped the girls from messing with you. Told them Magnus is a boxer briefs kind of man.
Alec: …
Alec rolls his eyes in true annoyed fashion, these are the people he calls family, and honestly he wouldn’t change a thing. He abandons his phone as he makes his way toward the delicious scent coming from the kitchen and the gorgeous sight of Magnus.
~
“I believe we will find Valentine. Jace, Izzy and Clary are all set for assignments.”
Alec is just talking about whatever he can at first, he wants everything to return to normal, but he can’t just make it happen. Not even with the rune. He is only hopeful that it will help at all.
Magnus nods, half paying attention, “Shouldn’t you be going along with them? Jace is better with his Parabatai at his side.”
Alec shakes his head, taking Magnus’ hand, “I told you, I'm not leaving your side. I want to make sure you feel better before I take any prolonged missions.”
“Alexander, I'm fine. Finding Valentine should take precedence over watching over me.”
Alec knows Magnus is right, but something stronger takes hold. “Nothing takes precedence over making sure those I love and care about are okay. Nothing.”
“Let’s be logical here, Alexander, I am only having problems with remembering my terrible past, while in the present we are facing the threat of Valentine, yet again.” Magnus sighs, pulling his hand away from Alec’s. “I can't let you put me first this time.”
“Stop it. You are not letting me do anything, Magnus. I want to be here. Not there. I don’t want to look for him, because if I find him…” He trails off, looking down at his hands that are now fidgeting. “Magnus, I want to put an arrow through him, and if I find him, I will. Whether it is what the Clave wishes or not. He hurt Jace and he hurt you, I wish I never pulled Luke away from him.”
Again, Alec watches as Magnus gets lost in thought and memories, possibly only hearing half of what he has been saying. He has to do this now, he has to help the man he loves.
He pulls out his stele, draws the rune on the space just above his wrist and takes Magnus’ hand again, “Hey.”
Magnus looks up at him, then glances down at the new rune on Alec, and he is curious, he has never seen this one before, and he is sure he has seen all the runes on his perfectly sculpted Nephilim. He is about to ask when Alec runs the stele over it once more and moves his hand to gently caress Magnus’ temple.
His hand slips into Alec’s and he feels the jolt…
“Would you like to go out for a drink sometime?” He can hear his own voice in his head, and feel the suaveness of himself in that moment.
“That sounds fun… When?” Alec’s voice fills his mind and he feels the excitement he did so well to cover up on the phone, leap into his body…
“Mama! Mama!” “You are nothing but an abomination, she is dead because of y…” He is falling, losing himself again…
He feels strong arms grab onto him, one on his shoulder the other on his waist… His eyes meet gorgeous hazel orbs, “I need your strength.” Alec’s voice… “Take what you need.”
Magnus' eyes snap open, finding Alec’s eyes, “What was that?”
“My happiest memories, with you.” Alec replies with every bit of determination in his tone, “I can’t take the bad memories away, but I can remind you of the good ones.” His voice cracks at the end.
Magnus grabs Alec’s stele from the table, “Can you do it again?” The feelings he felt, the memories were… They overpowered the haunting memories of his past, and if he can just hold onto how that felt. Alec nods, reactivating the rune and this time placing his forehead to Magnus’ as his hand rests on his neck.
“So as you all say,” he imitates an elderly voice, “The law is the law.” His eyes catch Alec’s slight amusement, “There’s no stopping me from slipping through this gaping loophole. For the right price.” Alec looks determined and beautiful, “Name it.” Magnus feels himself smirk, “You.”
He is stepping into the institute through a portal, turning that corner and looking down the aisle at Alec, he is terrified… he feels like he may not leave here with the outcome he desires…
“MAMA! MAMA!” The keris in his mother’s chest… he feels anguish, shame, guilt. ‘Why was I born this way? Why couldn’t you love me? I won’t be a monster.’ His stepfather’s voice echoes through his mind, fire, burning… ‘I am a monster…’
Alec’s face breaks through his memories again, he is striding toward him, his hands taking hold of his lapels, then he feels them. The softness of Alec’s lips on his, the way Alec tastes on his tongue, the way he feels safe in this moment, and victorious. Not just for himself, but for Alec. Alec deserves to be happy. ‘Do I make Alec happy?’
‘When things get crazy don’t push me away.’ This is a happy memory for Alec? But he was in so much pain missing his Parabatai. Alec’s smile as he adjusts his collar. Magnus feels relief within himself.
“I hear relationships take effort.” The way Alec’s eyes meet his, he wants this, them to try at least. ‘I could make Alec happy.’
His mind flashes through so much, their first time, then Tokyo. On the terrace of the Palace hotel, kissing Alec until they are both breathless. Alec standing and taking his hand, pulling him inside. “I don’t know how to be romantic, and I know you don’t expect me to try to be something I am not, but I want to give you everything you want and deserve. If it wasn’t for you I never would have gotten thrown off a path I was never meant to be on.”
He closes his eyes. “You mean more to me than I can express at the moment. And I just want you to be happy.” Magnus steps to Alec, “You. I told you once that what I wanted was you, and I meant it. You make me happy, even when we are just running around, trying to navigate this relationship. Just being able to do it with you makes me incredibly happy. You are special, Alexander. Unlike anyone I have ever known or had feelings for.”
He is already in love with Alec, a fact that he can’t deny, but also doesn’t have to admit aloud. They curl up in bed, kissing each other until sleep takes over their senses. It's one of Magnus’ best nights he has ever had.
A slamming sound, he feels different, not himself but… he looks to the glass opposite him and it’s Valentine’s face reflected back at him… this is not happy… no… Slamming, Alec’s face hard as stone at his back, “THAT'S ENOUGH!” His hands dragging him to the chair, strapping him in… “ALEXANDER!” his muffled screams for Alec to come back to him.
He pulls back, away from Alec, “That one wasn’t happy. Tell me that is not one of your happiest memories.”
Alec shakes his head, “No. That is one of my worst,” A tear falls from his eyes, “but you can’t see my worst, so maybe it was a glitch?”
“No. It wasn’t, Alexander.” There was one memory he never told Alec he saw when he closed his eyes, not one brought on by the agony rune, but one brought on by Alec himself. “I see that when I close my eyes as well. It follows me burning my step-father… It is the same sequence, over and over; My mother, my step-father, you.”
Alec looks sickened by this knowledge, “I am so sorry, Magnus. I never meant for this to happen.”
“I was so angry with you for leaving me behind, for not believing me. But I never blamed you, not really.” Magnus sighs and drops his head, “I'm sorry this didn’t work the way you hoped.”
He begins to stand until Alec’s hand stops him. And he feels the energy surge through him again.
He feels panic surging through every part of his body. He can’t find him, where is he? Is he alive? ‘Magnus, please don’t leave me.'
A hand reaches out taking his arm. No, he is taking Alec’s arm and then they are hugging. And he never wants to let go. He can hear himself talking but it doesn’t matter, all that matters is that he is here. He feels overwhelming relief wash over himself, no, Alec.
“I’ve never felt that type of fear, not knowing if you were alive or dead, I was terrified. Magnus, I love you.” His own words, “I love you, too.” Alec’s happiness, and relief is flooding through him. ‘I make Alec happy.’
“You make me happier than I have ever felt, but also more terrified. Not just for myself but for you, I can't and I won't lose you. And I will never let you push me away. As long as you need it, I will give you the happiest of memories.”
Magnus nods, for once not being able to find the words he needs to say. They are there but they just won’t come out. Alec stands and holds his hand out to Magnus, “I know I'm not the greatest of dancers, but do me the honor of dancing with me?”
Dance? They have never really danced together before. Not for Magnus’ lack of trying. He can’t count how many times Alec has grunted and groaned his way out of dancing. Magnus always let it go because he didn’t want to make Alec uncomfortable, but now, Alec is asking him? He wants to do this for him. Magnus feels the new memory of how this makes him feel forming in his mind as he takes Alec’s hand and snaps his fingers to start the radio, “Everyday for the rest of time, I will dance with you, my Alexander.”
Hold onto me, cause I’m a little unsteady. A little unsteady, So hold onto me.
“Let’s make happy memories.” As the song starts, Alec’s eyes lock with Magnus’ and he pulls him close, one hand on his waist the other entwined with Magnus, his lips so close to his love's ear as he whispers, “I will hold onto you, forever. No matter what life throws at us, my arms will never leave you.”
There has never been a doubt in his mind that he loves Alexander Lightwood, that this connection is nothing like anything he has ever felt, but it is in this moment that he realizes that he has found the person that broke down those walls he built around his heart and was not terrified by what he found behind them. He found the one person that would do everything in his power to make sure those walls stayed down and Magnus' heart remains protected.

Some Lord of Shadows Thoughts, In No Particular Order
I think Jace’s name is in this book more than Kieran’s which is obnoxious. Also every appearance of his was prefaced by a multi-sentence description of how gorgeous he was. This did not stop even when he showed up purely to be a dick to Kit. I officially hate book Jace now. He’s drunk the Kool Aid and he’s part of the Shadowhunter establishment and he’s insufferable so thanks for that book. ‘
Shadowhunters are a cult. Full stop. Sometimes it seems like the book has started to recognize this but then it backtracks and goes back to glorifying them. They’re so rich, they’re so pretty! Like, yeah, but they’re also super racist and hugely regressive and directly responsible for the suffering of thousands. Sure, they do some good along the way but so does Salvation Army, they’re still BAD. Look past all the glitter and propaganda and they’re just magical thugs who haven’t gotten past the middle ages and at this rate never will. The Blackthorn kids are better off without them. 
Kit is probably the most sympathetic person in the entire book and I do want him to run away and set up a pawn shop in Ohio? Save him from everyone but especially Jace. 
At one point his face was described as angular though, which makes me wonder if CC has seen a fifteen year old ever. You do it once, it’s justifiable, but most teenagers have a bad case of the baby face and saying other wise is ridiculous. This cheekbone addiction is getting out of hand. 
This book was so ridiculously heterosexual. Like, just such a pervasive case of unfortunate and tragic heterosexuality. So casual. So pointless. Magnus first gets brought up as “glittery”. One character thinks in all seriousness that you only get one dad. Gwyn is painfully straight for no apparent reason when faeries should and previously have been all sorts of flexible. It’s just... bad. 
The centurions are all kind of awful and I didn’t bother to learn their names. 
That being said, I did like the focus on Diana. She’s beautiful and amazing and brave and I love her. 
This is just blatant apologism for what happened to Anselm Nightshade. You set up a situation like that, you deal with the consequences of it, you don’t wimp out. 
The kids went to Faerie together and I am glad for that. They did just kill of Iarlath with no fanfare, but now his headcanon bf are chilling together and we got some follow up on Malcolm’s faerie ties so I’m not too mad about that. 
“Her old tutor, Katerina.” God, where’s my  Katerina spinoff. She has gotten no lines ever and because of that I love her. 
I do like anything with faeries very much but it could afford to be a little less fantasy and a little less chaos theory. The rest is just an issue of misplaced expectation. Obviously I like some of my interpretations better (killing girls is so stupid and outdated, an actual curse dooming him to have fifty sons all the time is maybe a twist) but other than that, nice worldbuilding, solid writing. 
Faeries! Gosh, I just love them so much. Faeries all the time, that what I want. 
The Unseelie King is super interesting. His kids are more trite, but hey, I love them anyways. 
On a related note, have I mentioned how much Gwyn just wants his big dumb teenagers to be safe and happy? Kieran and Mark aren’t even twenty and they need to take care of each other and not die. What a quality Faerie Dad. 
Some times these kids act dumb but i do not begrudge them it on account of them being children. 
The book got good about halfway through, which I appreciated. Kieran my sweet bratty boy, Nene the enigma, the courts, this is some good stuff I appreciate. 
What I did not appreciate was the killing off of Arthur. Like, come on. You’ve already done a disservice by magicking up your mental illness, you don’t have to kill him off too. A much more straight forward solution would have used the fact that Malcolm and Annabel were technically married, have his death revive her, then have confused Annabel and her angry zombie husband coming after the Institute, then Annabel realizing what was really going on and turning on Malcolm. Less in between steps. Failing that, ancient aunt they mentioned last book. 
Mark, Miach, darling, in fairness, the Seelie Queen’s lover very much did kidnap you. She was kidnap complicit. Don’t be trusting her. She absolutely had Sebastian’s baby. 
Memory loss plots are rather boring, but I recognize they do something for some people, so it might just be a cup of tea situation. Enjoy your memory loss then, friends. 
The Kieran/Mark/Cristina plot is juicy and I do like that but I want More Diana and Helen and Aline back and Answers first, you know?
One of the downsides of these books being about Shadowhunters is that it always comes down to the Shadowhunter heroes fighting and killing the irrational villainous Downworlder hordes which is Unfortunate. That conflict with Barnabas could have gone so much better. 
People need to stop trying to brainwash Kit with this Herondale stuff. People don’t go around calling me by my great-great great grandmother’s name and expect me to sit down and take it. Sure, we’re technically related, but that’s not how convention or basic politeness works. Your name is what you are raised with and more importantly it’s what you choose. His name is Kit and he’s a Rook until he decides, on his own without the constant pressure of adults, to be something else. 
As an extension of that? All these callbacks to the other book? They’re getting old and frankly more than a little annoying. 
Jessamine died in 1878. Edgar Allan Poe died in 1849. I’m telling you guys, the timeline just doesn’t line up. She wasn’t even born when Malcolm was young and building his house.
Kieran is a very impulsive boy who is already too invested in his Shadowhunter bf and gf. I don’t make the rules. 
I tried not to read too much into the Disaster Children literally burning down a church and having a weird intimate moment but they really are a mess. No laws, no holy lands, nothing but family, and nothing comes before family. I’m much more invested in them when they’re tearing down the establishment and making terrible toxic Wicked Powers choices. 
AIRMED WAS THE DAUGHTER OF MANNAN. This is basic people. Do your research. 
See, the memory loss plots always backfire unless you come clean. Lying never pays, kids. 
My Diana theories are more or less confirmed which I appreciate, thank you very much. 
I do very much wish they’d at least had the decency to leave bby Morgenstern a bby, that or go all the way and age him a few decades so you had a fifty something year old claiming to be Clary’s nephew. Much better than this cliche storm. 
I recognize that Annabel got a short shift in life, but so did Malcolm, frankly. The fact that he gets a life of torment and a horrible death at the hands of one he loved while she gets to wander off and live happily is a little concerning to me. Why do Downworlders not get to be happy? Downworlders, and Arthur Blackthorn, apparently, aren’t allowed to live nice, non-tragic lives, but pretty young Shadowhunters can get away with anything. At this point I would have preferred a disappointing end for Annabel. Get that good tragedy going. The Blackthorn’s clearly have a bad case of the Gothics they need to fulfill. 
Oh. OH. There we go. There’s the Blackthorn drama I crave. 
My sweet girl, my sweet girl Livvy. She’s coming back as a ghost, isn’t she?
So that’s about five hours. My record holds. The book wasn’t bad, it was just sooooo long. I feel like it could have used a ruthless editor with a really good grasp of the classics to clean things up a bit. Didn’t make me laugh as much, but that might just be a result of my evolving sense of humour. Drama got good nearer the last half of the book. There was some nice stuff in there. Overall, not a waste of five hours, and I’m not mad. Just please, someone de-brainwash these Shadowhunter children. They’re in a cult. Someone needs to tell them that they’re in a cult. Save Kit, he’s getting pulled in as well.

Your fanfictions about Alec and izzy are fantastic i love them !!! I love how Alec is with his little sister ! And i love the friendship between magnus and izzy! Could you please make one where Alec is on a mission with clary and someone Callie to say that his sister was and he come back fast but when he arrive he see that magnus already take care of her ? That would be so nice thank you! And from the pov of clary and magnus please ? Thanks !
Thank you!! here you go I hate the ending lol but I couldn’t think of any other way to finish it? Anyway I hope this is what you wanted.
Magnus had never been fond of shadowhunters but good lordthat Alexander took his breath away. And then he met his wonderful youngersister whom Alec loved more than anything, and Magnus found that he quite likedher too.
She was smart, brave, funny, kind, and of course beautifuland he became quite close with her as his and Alec’s relationship grew moreserious. He often had her over to hang out when he wanted the company ofsomeone who’d appreciate his new eyeshadow as much as he did.
“Oh Magnus, that one’s gorgeous!”
The warlock smiled as Isabelle examined his new glitters.
“Thank you, I think I’ll wear the red to Alec and I’s datetomorrow.”
“Oh, you have to let me do your nails!”
Isabelle was the best friend Magnus had had in many yearsand for Izzy, all her life.
So, when she got hurt, he was of course there to help.
They’d been in Izzy’s room at the institute, where Magnuswas helping her choose an outfit for her date with a seelie girl she’d met atMagnus’ club. Screaming had started down the hall a few seconds before thealarms went off and Izzy sprinted out of her room with the warlock hot on herheels.
Raj almost smacked into her in the hallway in his rush tothe weapons room.
“Oof! RaJ? What’s happening?”
The shadowhunter answered in a rush as he continued running.
“There’s a werewolf loose in the institute!”
He disappeared and Izzy exchanged a look with Magnus. Shehad her whip with her and Magnus had his magic, they’d go ahead and try tohelp.
Things went wrong almost as soon as they stepped into themain control room.
……………..
“Why didn’t Izzy come?”
Alec sighed, annoyed with the questions that never seemed tostop, as he lead Clary down an alley with his blade drawn.
“This mission only needs two people and you need training.Besides, her and Magnus wanted to hang out and I can’t say no to either of themso...”
Clary nodded and carefully stepped over a garbage bag,sticking close to Alec.
“So, you got stuck with me.”
He sighed again, eyes still scanning the alley for signs ofthe ravenor demon they’d been tracking.
“It’s not like that, Clary. I’m not your biggest fan but youneed training and Izzy and Jace have other plans. That’s all.”
He didn’t mention that Jace didn’t want to come because hewas still confused about his feelings for his…sister, but he assumed she’dguessed anyway.
Alec paused in the dark alley and motioned Clary forward.
“Okay, its hiding behind that bin. Make sure it doesn’t getyou with its tail or teeth or you won’t last long enough for me to get you tothe institute.”
Clary spun and looked at him in disbelief.
“You want me to kill it?”
“Yes. It’s easy, just keep your wrist straight and follow throughon your swing. And hurry up, they move fast.”
Clary was about to argue again when Alec’s phone startedvibrating in his pocket. He pulled it out and pushed Clary forward.
“I have to take this, it’s the institute. But you can do it,I’m right behind you.”
Alec watched Clary slowly approach the bin as he answeredthe phone.
“If this is Raj, I swear by the angel man, I’m in the middleof a mission.”
“I’m sorry, but it’s your sister. A werewolf got loose inthe institute and.. she’s hurt.”
Clary was terrified but took a deep breath and moved forward,gripping her seraph blade with white knuckles.
‘I’m a shadowhunter. I can do this.’
She was about to turn the corner and rush it when Alec’sblade came soaring through the air and speared the demon creature to the wall,killing it instantly. Clary deflated and made a face the green ooze smearedover the wall.
“I thought I was supposed to kill it?”
“We have to go.”
Alec pulled his blade from the wall and started sprintingback down the alley, not waiting to see if Clary would follow. She ran afterhim, recognising his tight expression.
“What’s wrong?”
He paused, jaw clenching in worry as he sprinted down thestreet, Clary barely managing to keep pace.
“Izzy’s hurt. Werewolf attack. I have to help her.”
“Oh, god.”
Alec was scary when he was worried. Clary followed him in silenceas he stormed through the institute, flinging open doors and shouting orders atpassing shadowhunters.
“Where’s my sister? Get out of my way!”
He was a terrifying force of worried older brother and no onecould stop him on his search for Izzy. Clary quietly apologized to those theybowled over in their search, until they finally got to Izzy’s room.
Alec paused for only a second before he sprinted to wherehis little sister lay on her bed. Magnus was waving his hands over her, sendingblue flames into her wounds, but moved back when Alec came in.
Alec stormed in and immediately began to fret over Izzy, hetook her face in his hands and frantically searched her for injuries.
“Oh, god, Izzy are you okay? What did that wolf do to you? Icame as quickly as I could.”
Izzy was thankfully awake and mostly unharmed. She hadseveral gashes across her stomach and a small cut on her cheek but they hadstopped bleeding after some runes and some warlock magic. Her right ankle wassprained but she was in little pain, also thanks to Magnus.
Alec kissed his sister’s forehead and wrapped her up in ahug, burring his face in her hair.
“I’m okay, Alec. It was only a little werewolf and Magnuswas here.”
Alec kissed her head again and looked up, only realising hisboyfriend was there now that he knew his sister was safe.
He unwrapped one arm from Izzy and reached towards Magnus,pulling him into a hug as well.
“Thank you so much. Are you okay?”
Magnus smiled and kissed his angel.
“I’m okay and Isabelle will be too. She just needs to restand stay off that ankle for a while.”
Alec took his sister in his arms again and squeezed hertight as Clary watched, smiling. Alec always melted around Izzy and Magnus andit never ceased to make Clary smile.
“I’m so glad you’re safe. I was so worried.”
Izzy laughed and hugged her brother back, knowing he wouldbe like this for a while.
“I know. I’m okay.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too, big brother.”
Alec smiled and pulled Magnus towards him for another kiss.
“And I love you my wonderful warlock.”
Magnus returned the sentiment against Alec’s lips and Clarywatched the small group with fond eyes but a sad smile, feeling out of place andalone. Until Izzy called her over.
“Clary! How did the hunt go?”
Izzy pulled her into a hug and demanded details as Clarylaughed and asked for details of her own.
What a wonderful, strange, magical family she was a part ofnow.
