#jace and alec

[shadowhuntertrash]

i can't get intimate parabatai moments out of my head

just imagine jace holding alec close to his body, rocking them gently when alec gets so stressed his breaths come out shaky. the way alec curls into jace in a way he wouldn't dare with anyone else. the way alec trusts him enough to let go completely. the way jace tightens his hold and shushes him quietly when alec let's out a sob and turns his face into jace's chest.

imagine matthew seeking james out in the middle of a party because he turned to tell james some gossip before realizing he had slipped away. the way matthew heads straight to the library because where else would his parabatai be? the way matthew lays his head in james's lap and let's james read aloud to him for hours. the way james cards through matthew's hair in the way he knows matthew loves. the way matthew silently preens. no one else willingly touches him like this.

imagine jem silently making his way to will's room sometime around 3 in the morning because he can feel the stress of his nightmares through the bond. imagine jem laying next to will and wrapping an arm around him because he doesn't want to wake will up due to how seldom he does sleep. so he just offers silent comfort and support and will basks in the warmth that radiates from their bond when he wakes up in the morning and sees jem sprawled next to him on the bed.

imagine emma wrangling all the kids up while julian cooks breakfast. the soft touches in passing and then the arm julian wraps around her once everyone is settled and eating. the kiss he presses to her temple and the smile emma hides in his chest.

imagine simon shrieking when clary beats him at his favorite game for the fifth time. clary's warm laughter flooding the room and simon shoving her bodily off the bed. simon's triumphant smile he gives clary from the bed.

imagine cordelia and lucie dancing in the ballroom of the institute for no other reason than want. the way cordelia ducks under lucie's arm with a laugh when lucie spins her. the way lucie absolutely giggles when cordelia dips her. the way they stumble when corselia looses her hold around her parabatai.

just intimate parabatai scenes where they both feel comfortable and warm and just loved because there is no love stronger than the one shared between parabatai.

jalec for the brotp thing

Heyoo Iove!!! Jalec is 💯❤

who steals french fries off the other’s plate? JACE but Alec does it too when it's the spicy ones(hc that they're his fav). Alec gets v annoyed when jace does it tho, which fuels him on more of course😂

who jokingly moves in for the kiss when someone asks if they’re a couple? AHAHA definitely jace while Alec just stands there blushing like an idiot😶

who has to bust or bail the other out of jail? Bruh Alec is fucking tired of bailing jace out because of the stupid shit he does all the time. Pretty sure the police officers know him by now lmao

who shamelessly cheats at games by reaching over to cover the other’s eyes? Jace would 100% do this and cue Alec sighing every single time

"Jace you know your fingers have gaps between them right?"

*hastily closes his fingers*

"No they don't"

*big sigh*

who immediately calls dibs on the top bunk? Jacee, and Alec gets very grumbly about it and tries to push him off. BOTH end up sleeping on top but Jace inevitably gets pushed off in the middle of the night😂

who gives the other advice/comfort about dating issues? Both of them advise each other, but jace's advice usually just involves making out and getting over with it

*kiss and make up playing in the background*

who starts and who wins the pillow fights? Jace starts, Alec wins

who says “your pants would look better on their floor” to the other’s potential crush? DEFINITELY JACE. See him hit on every single one of Alec's crushes and rile him up like anything😂. As revenge, Alec vows to do the same but get way too flustered to try lmaoo

This was fun! Thanks for sending<33

Send me a Brotp!!

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

[beclynn-herondale]

Hey I'm having parabatai feels can you give me some jace and alec headcanons 🥺🥺

I got you, boo!

One time someone said Jace was the superior parabatai half and that Alec wasn't a hero, said person was faced with a passionate six hour rant on why Alec was in fact the superior parabatai half and was just as much a hero as them all. (Magnus watched the whole thing).

When they were younger and Jace had warmed up to the Lightwoods, Alec had started to sneak off and check on Jace every night, sometimes staying with him til the nightmares passed.

After Clary had come along Alec had felt insecure about where he stood in Jace's life, leading Jace to tell him something along the lines of "Alec, you're the reason I started to let love in again. Your unconditional acceptance and love is what helped heal me. You loving me is what gave me the ability to let others in, and let them love me. When I stepped off that boat when I came to stay with you for the first time, something in me knew you'd be important to me, I just didn't know how important. If not for you I wouldn't be here today. So how could you ever become less important when you're the other half of my soul." There were tears and a hug and kiss on heads, but don't tell anyone.

Once someone said that Jace was a freak, and had been tainted by Valentine, that he was damaged, and was most likely just like Valentine — Alec ripped into that person, something he didn't usually do, but he had always been fiercely protective of his family, of Jace. And he would not put up with people calling Jace that or even comparing him to Valentine. Because Alec knows how much people saying that hurt Jace.

Jace gets Alec hilarious dad t-shirts, Alec secretly wears them at home.

One time Alec got frustrated and told Jace and Magnus they were similar so "why the hell did they act like this?" Jace and Magnus both stared at Alec like he was crazy, but later he found Jace and Magnus watching something together.

Alec secretly knows Jace is more responsible than he lets on, and Jace secretly knows Alec is more chaotic than he lets on

After his breakup with Magnus Jace stayed with Alec every night and comforted him, just as Alec always had when Jace had nightmares.

One time they were caught taking a nap together, but they didn't act embarrassed at all, just offended that the rest of the gang interrupted their nap.

One time when Chairman Meow ran away Jace spent the entire day with Alec looking for him, until they found him.

They went to Paris for a mission one time and Alec nudged Jace and said "You're half french and you know the language. What does that say?" It had caught Jace off guard 'cause almost no one mentioned anything to do with him biological mother. and even though it was probably just Alec making a joke, it meant more to Jace than he knew. It had even surprised Jace a little, how much it meant.

When Jace was older he did look into his mother's family, and didn't like what he found, but he'd gotten curious. He came across some thing about his mother, it was Alec who he went to speak his mind to on it all. Alec say and listened, and eventually told Jace he could do more digging or he could let it go, but that he supported him in whatever he chose. Jace did more digging and found out more.

The moment Jace saw Alec after returning from faerie (in TDA), he pulled Alec into a tight hug and they had a tearful moment. Jace apologized for not being there when Robert died, and assured Alec he wished he was. Alec called him an idiot and said he knew, that Jace didn't need to tell him that.

One night when Clary was gone and it had been a hard day Alec came and read to Jace,. because he knew on these days Jace just wanted comfort from those he loved.

Jace loves that Alec and Clary secretly sneak off and get tacos, he loves how much they get along now. And he's a simp for the two people he loves most being mischievous in their own way.

Jace had started to slowly show more emotion as the years went on, and he continued to heal more and more from his childhood. Alec teared up one time at how far he's come, because Alec always wanted him to be happy and healed.

The first time they watched frozen with Max Jace cried and Alec did a little too, but Jace would tear up every time, something Alec was fond of but also found odd, as Jace did not normally act like that.

Hopefully you like these, they are long lol.

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.

[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

[livsoulsecrets]

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.”

[balladofbells]

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%)

[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)

[pretties-t]

the first person to make an alec lighwtood fic will get a prize hear me out: my emotional stability

[fairybonesandstardust]

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

[headcanonforthought]

Shadowhunters headcanon thing?

Jace & Alec are kinda in love, it's impied things happened years ago between them. But when Magnus enters the picture Jace get's jealous. And starts a weird love triangle thing where he and Alec have tension but never do anything. When the wedding happens as Magnus runs down the asile to snag a kiss and a boyfriend, its Jace who jumps in to stop it from happening.

So then Jace is the one who kisses Alec on the wedding day. Jace is the one Alec confesses feelings for at his wedding. This has the unforeseen effect of making the Lightwood family super chill with Alec being gay, because at least he's gonna be fucking Jace, and like they're okay with that.

[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.

[iturnlemonadeintolemons]

Clary: Do guys in bromances give each other flowers? * on the other side of the Institute * Alec: Dude I got you some broses Jace: Oh you read my mind bro I got you some daffodudes
