#Jace and Alec

[harrywasthemvpof1d]

alec and jace and their relationship with each other and how it matures as you go from reading about it in the mortal instruments to reading it in the dark artifices

they were typical teenage boys teasing each other while being parabatai and loving each other a lot more deeply and then how they went to adults who supported each other in the worst times

Isabelle and Clary Disney version

[fairybonesandstardust]

cassandra clare describing jace and isabelle: they were so stunning with amazing clothing that made them look so cool and sexy

cassandra clare describing alec: he was hot but he dresses atrociously so we’re going to go on about how fugly his clothes are

Alec Lightwood's Runetology (5/24)

Alec surrounded by his dad, his brother slash parabatai, and his husband on his birthday

Runes selection:

Mnemosyne

This one is a little bit more difficult than the previous installments, since most of it is covered by Magnus's hand, but I do think the overall silhouette of the Mnemosyne rune matches the one in this the most. And it tracks, Alec has always thought he would fade into the background, and his biggest desire (shown through the demon hallucination) is to be loved and appreciated by his loved ones, to be remembered.

Jace: You know something? Kit and Ty remind me a lot of us when we were young, they should be parabatai

Alec: They're dating.

Jace: Oh, so they're a slightly gayer version of us... Anyway, then they should get married. The important thing is that I want to see them say each other some vows. It would be romantic.

I'm constantly thinking about this passage & I need other people to talk about

like "here is someone you already know"????????

[ijosten03]

I know we usually headcanon Clace having a baby boy and naming him William or Jonathan, but I AM SO SURE that Clace would name their first son Alexander (for Alec)

I really like how the TMI graphic novel changed this scene, to this:

It’s like ten times funnier than the original!!! Izzy you always THE Lightwood.

Part 2 of my “I’m losing my mind about the Lightwood siblings” breakdown while I read City of Heavenly Fire again:

-

“Jace thought of the wooden soldier he’d given to Max, and closed his eyes in sudden pain.”

-

“It’s good to have people worry about you,” said Alec. “It means they care. It’s how you know they’re good friends.”

Emma’s gaze went from Alec to Jace, curious. “Do you worry about him?” she asked Alec, surprising a laugh out of him.

“All the time,” he said. “Jace could get himself killed putting his pants on in the morning. Being his parabatai is a full-time job.”

-

“I like her,” Isabelle said finally. “She kind of reminds me of Jace when he was little, and stubborn, and acted like he was immortal.”

-

“Go without me, and you disrespect our parabatai oaths, you disrespect me as a Shadowhunter, and you disrespect the fact that this is my battle too.”

“Jace looked shocked. “Alec, I would never disrespect our oaths. You’re one of the best Shadowhunters I know—”

“Which is why we come with you,” said Isabelle. “You need us. You need Alec and me to back you up the way we always have.”

-

“And how old are you?” Isabelle said.

“Nine,” said Max. “I’ve always been nine.”

Isabelle stared. The kitchen around her was wavering. She could see through it, as if she were staring through printed fabric: everything going transparent, as mutable as water.

“Baby,” she whispered. “My Max, my baby brother, please, please stay.”

“I’ll always be nine,” he said, and touched her face.”

-

“She knew Jace hated it when Alec was angry at him. She wasn’t sure if he could feel the discord through the parabatai bond or if it was just ordinary empathy, or a little of both.”

-

“I just wanted to say that you don’t always have to be all right. I asked you to be my parabatai because I needed you, but you’re allowed to need me, too. This”—he indicated his own parabatai rune—“means you are the better, other half of me, and I care about you more than I care about myself. Remember that. I’m sorry I didn’t realize how much you were hurting. I didn’t see it then, but I see it now.”

Alec was very still for a moment, barely breathing. Then, to Jace’s surprise, he reached out and ruffled Jace’s hair, the way an older brother might ruffle his younger sibling’s hair. His smile was cautious, but it was full of real affection. “Thanks for seeing me,” he said, and walked off down the tunnel.”

Jace and Alec’s friendship

Jace: you are 18 STOP ACTING LIKE A GRUMPY OLD MAN

Alec: fuck you

[just-a-maniac-atp-lol]

It is a truth universally acknowledged that in a parabatai pair, one will be the "FIGHT ME" one and other "Dont u fucking dare" from behind them.

Its also a truth universally acknowledged that the first one WILL be a fucking herondale (about 99%)

Fierce Emma in the battlefield 💛🗡️

@cassandraclare ‘s character

[fairybonesandstardust]

if cassandra clare won't put jace, isabelle, and alec in therapy then by god i will

[dayque]

Jace: How did you know you were gay, Alec?

Alec: Can you think of a less offensive question? Or do you even know how you knew you were straight?

Jace: When we were training with Nancy Montreales from Chiapas Institute, she was wearing a grey top and it was the first time I realized how much I liked gravity.

Alec: You're disgusting...

Jace: Answer my question!

Alec: Why do you want to know?

Jace: Because I need to know if what I felt the other day while watching a movie at Simon's house was a coincidence or if I was just so stupid that I didn't realize that this same day I also thanked the effects of gravity on Lorenzo Montreales.

Alec: SIMON!? Shit, you are screwed as fuck.
