Ok so I need to know: Are Kit and Ty together??? Because Im not sure if its a completely fanmade shipping, if they just havent found each other but are in love with each other or if they are canon together

I hope you're not planning on reading tda, cause the whole answer is gonna be spoilers, or more like, everything thats happened with them, so yeah same thing.

Okay so, it's not a fan made ship but also they aren’t together yet. 

So this got long and you probably didn't want this long of an answer but I can't stop when it's KitTy.

They both are introduced in the first book itself, but Kit doesn't have a main role until the second book. Ty Blackthorn, who is Julian's (main character of tda) brother, is totally interested in solving mysteries and crimes (he's a fan of Sherlock Holmes!) but nothing that major happens in LA. 

[Bit of a backstory, Blackthorns are 7 siblings because I can't remember if you've read tmi, Helen and Mark are half siblings to the rest and they are part faerie but due to a war where faeries betrayed the shadowhunters, Helen was exiled and Mark was kidnapped even before the war, so the shadowhunter government just decided to not search for him. So any contact from faeries has now been cut off and Julian (who was 12 yrs old) has to take care of all his siblings.]

So in Lady Midnight, when an offer comes from faerie to give Mark back in exchange for finding a serial killer, they all take it up. And Ty who is a Sherlock Holmes fan is all intent on trying to help in finding the killer. N Kit’s father is a shady guy who apparently knows lots of things so when Emma and Julian go to Kit’s dad to try find some info, Ty sneaks into the basement where Kit is hiding while his father is doing business. Now for the only scene of KitTy in Lady Midnight, Ty puts a knife to Kit’s neck and Kit’s first thought at looking at this all happen is “How beautiful”. I think many of us started shipping them together since that one scene. So after that, stuff happens and Kit finds out, by the end of book 1 that he is a shadowhunter, (n he loathes shadowhunters ) Lost Herondale who everyone (except for couple of people who found him) thought that that branch of Herondale family is dead. 

So, here’s Kit, he just saw his father die in front of him, found out that he is a shadowhunter, people who he dislikes a lot, and all alone in an Institute with strangers. He locks himself inside a room. N Ty sits on the other side of the door so that Kit doesn't feel alone.

After a while, when Kit starts to come out of his room, Ty asks him to become his Watson. Kit doesn't say anything to that but that's one of my favourite parts. So they all (Ty, Livvy n Kit) go on little missions together. Now there's this one part when Livvy gets severely injured and Ty feels guilty because Livvy asked him to be parabatai with her many times but he always refused because the place where he wanted to study, there you can't have a parabatai. N rn when Livvy is injured, he feels guilty bc Livvy would have healed sooner if she had a parabatai. So then, Kit n Ty go to the roof and they hug. (I fangirl over the smallest of things)

So again storyline goes on, nothing other than that happens between them until the 3rd book. So what happened is Livvy died in the end of the 2nd book. That impacted Ty a lot. Livvy was like the only person who understood Ty. N when Livvy dies, he feels really alone.

BUT now he's intent on bringing her back. He asks Kit to help him, Kit says that it's not a good idea but he goes along with Ty bc if he doesn't, Ty would do it alone and maybe there's a chance that Kit can convince him not to until the time Ty finds all the stuff he needs for necromancy.

Ty somehow manages to acquire everything and a day before a major war, he wakes up Kit and convinces Kit to come with him to the Lake Lyn where they would do the necromancy.

Now, during the necromancy, it's obviously sinister and Kit still doesn't want to help in it. He again tries to stop Ty and he tells Ty that he isn't alone and that everyone in his family loves him and they are all going to be there for him n that he's there too.

N that's when Kit tells Ty that he loves him.

"I love you Ty, I love you." (that quote lives in my mind all the time hehe)

Then Ty almost stops but then he continues on with necromancy. When Livvy's ghost appears, even Livvy says that necromancy was a bad idea n apparently one of the ingredients that he got was corrupted so she couldn't have been brought back physically n only her ghost was brought back. Ty tells her to stay, in her ghost form n says "There's nothing here without you." Or some variation of that, I can't remember rn.

N Kit is there in the background looking at the guy he just confessed to and probably the only person he's ever said 'I love you' to, say that there is nothing without Livvy, feels heartbroken n that Ty doesn't love him.

Now, what Ty said about the being nothing shouldn't be a big deal because he loves his sister a lot n of course he is going to feel alone but Kit is an orphan, he doesn't remember his mother n his father was a shitty guy. So Kit makes a big deal out of it.

The next day during the battle, they weren’t allowed to go to the battle (even though Ty wanted to join but Magnus tied them to a tree through magic on Julian’s orders). So they both were angry with each other n at one point Kit says that he wished he never met Ty. Now Ty is autistic, and he believes the things the way they are said so that’s the start of their angsty ending in tda.

So anyways, Livvy’s ghost comes at that moment, frees both of them from the tree n they go to join the battle, Ty climbs a tree n by the time he checks on Kit Emma had seen Kit n took him away cause she was told to keep Kit safe.

N then there’s another plot twist, its found that Kit is not only the Lost Herondale but a Heir to the Faerie crown which he doesn’t want. But if people find out its him, they’re going to be after him to kill him. So, Tessa and Jem (who had found him at first ) ask him if he wants to live with them in Devon. N Kit, feeling depressed n rejected says yes. And he says to leave asap n he doesn’t want to say goodbye to anyone.

It wouldn’t have that heartbreaking but some points of their actions toward each other are so sweet.

Like Ty doesn’t look into someone’s eyes but he looked at Kit. N Kit, he didn’t cry ever in the book, even when his only family died but he did when Ty didn’t reply to his i love you.

Now, they’re going to have their own trilogy, The Wicked Powers. Which is gonna be published no time soon :/

Personal opinion: I’m glad they didn’t get together in tda because both of them have their own traumas over which they need to work out.

So, yeah, that’s the whole story.

plus they have such a sweet ship name!!!!
