#jace and alec

[balladofbells]

Jace and Alec’s friendship

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

Alec: fuck you

[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

[dayque]

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.

This is one of my favorite excerpts of City of Heavenly Fire:

“The best thing Valentine ever did for me was send me to you,” Jace added. “Your parents, sure, but mainly you. You and Izzy and Max. If it hadn’t been for you, I would have been—like Sebastian. Wanting this.” He gestured at the wasteland in front of them. “Wanting to be king of a wasteland of skulls and corpses.”

This whole scene with Jace and Alec opening up to each other is amazing

[iturnlemonadeintolemons]

Jace: Why is my phone cracked?

Simon: You got drunk and threw it at the wall last night

Alec: You turned on airplane mode and yelled FLY DAMMIT YOU

Jace: And nobody stopped me?

Magnus: We were too busy laughing our asses off

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%)

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

[the-shadow-master]

Jace: Am I going too far?

Alec: No, no, no.

Alec: You went too far about seven hours ago.

Alec: Now you're going to prison.

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)

[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.

Jace: Come on! You can't be upset forever

Alec:

Jace: It was just a little joke.

Alec:

Jace: He'll say a lot more words, it doesn't mean anything.

Alec:

Jace: It's not my fault he chose me!

Alec: SEVEN HOURS!

Jace: What?

Alec: Seven hours per day you were saying your damn name until he said it. SEVEN.

Jace: Being a babysitter is boring if you don't set goals...

Alec: YOU STOLE MY SON'S FIRST FUCKING WORD.

Jace: That's not true!

Simon: Yeah, the first one we taught him was Fuck.

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.”
