#r: alec and jace

[alecgsaltwood]

Going based off of SHTV Lightwoods

The Lightwoods are Latino on their Trueblood side. Maryse and Robert raised Izzy and Alec as 2P2L (2 Parents, 2 Languages) with Maryse speaking Spanish and Robert, English. By the time Max was born, the two had become too busy to continue the style.

Because of this Alec and Izzy are bilingual. Izzy obviously more outward about it, typically speaking Spanglish around the institute and when going out.

Alec on the other hand is more conservative with it, using it in private with his mother or Izzy. But you can also find him reverting to the language whenever he is frustrated or angry. Everyone in the institute knows that the moment you hear Alec Lightwood speaking Spanish- you walk in the other direction.

When Magnus found out that Alec did his mandatory semester abroad in Buenos Aires while at the Shadowhunter Academy, he demanded that they have their next date night there.

And sure, when they got there, Magnus expected his boyfriend to have some semblance of understanding the language, if not from his study abroad then from his sister & mother. What he did not expect was for Alec to bust out into fluent Spanish, conversing with their waiter, shop owners, and locals casually and freely.

And yeah, it made sense in retrospect, but it also made Magnus feel a lot of other ways in which he would not disclose...out loud...publicly at least.

He decided then that they would be doing MANY more date nights in Latin America.

also thinking abt shadow hunters ! enhypen hmmm ….

[witchlingcirce]

helloooo i just saw your céline big post... would you write one with your thoughts on maryse? i love herrr :)

- @light-wayland

There is actually no way and words that I could describe on how much I LOVE Maryse, like that is my no. 1 diva. In all honesty, I’d argue she was probably one the best (if the not the best) institute heads that we saw, but maybe I’m just crazy.

In all actuality, I find her a really interesting character. Mostly because of how she was in her time with the circle, vs how she is now.

Robert described Maryse as being such a passionate member of the circle, that he mostly stayed in it because of her. Which in the short story that we saw with her, it’s true. She was very passionate about the cause, she did very much believe in Valentine. HOWEVER; the way that the institute punishment and having kids changed her is honestly really interesting to me.

The way that the institute punishment affected her is really interesting to me, more or else because the punishment was about secluded them!! And I think the way that affected Maryse (and also by extension Robert but this isn’t ABOUT HIM) is interesting. More or else because this seclusion, and also her children ended up making her change for the better. IE: when she sees Valentine for the first time again she specifically says “I’m not your Maryse anymore”, and later on city of ashes she literally shoved her Naginta in the Imogen’s face being like “r we gonna fight Valentine or what”. And even so in COLS, I like the seen difference between her & Maryse when Jocelyn feels bad for the ex member, while Maryse stabs him- which I think is very telling about both characters.

I also do like her because she’s really nuanced throughout the book as well, so it’s not like she had a one point turn. Her throwing Jace out had good intentions, but ultimately wasnt really the best choice (I actually think this moment of the series is interesting !!), she tells Izzy about what Robert did to her, which ultimately affects how Izzy perceives relationships and also her own relationship with her father, I think how Maryse was towards Alec when he came out is a point of contention as well. It’s not that I think she was homophobic, or that she mistreated Alec in any sense at all- but he mentions how feels like his parents are ignoring it, which I find interesting.

So yeah, Maryse is a beyond interesting character who I love very dearly. I always thought Tessa sending her a letter in SOBH was a bit random but you don’t understand the HYPE I felt when I saw her name. She’s my queen, my diva. My beloved.

[im-out-of-it]

extra bonus of season 2, episode 8 continued ALEC THATS THE WHOLE POST “love is a devil”

I’m going off

210. yeah, maybe let’s see- treat Alec better clary, that would be nice. Magnus is the only one who seems concerned that Alec tried to take his life

LOOK AT THAT FLUFFY ASS PERFECT HAIR IT LOOKS SO NICE AND SOFT AND BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT

also Izzy (kind of sad we only get a second of her here after everything she dealt with. and isn’t it crazy that Izzy is the only one who wasn’t affected? but she is addicted to yin fein so girl has been through plenty)

211. Jace: which means I’m not letting you out of my sight. ew major red flag 🚩 I’m going to need an Advil after this episode is over

212. as Alec’s parabatai, it is on jace to be there for Alec. but see, that’s the problem with the parabatai bond with them. it’s only relevant when jace needs something. how is it that Alec can always feel something is off with Jace but he never feels that for Alec? that’s on CC but the show should’ve handled that better. Alec and Magnus and Izzy are obviously the stars of the show but there is so much more that they could’ve done for Alec and how he is treated

213. this just doesn’t seem enough for me. Alec helped you try to get your mom back, which ended up you almost getting pregnant clary, he’s constantly apologizing, and almost took his life so from the way I see it, clary fucking owes Alec and that’s not adding all the other times he saved her worthless ass. ALEC DID NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL CONSENT WILLPOWER WHEN A DEMON INCORPORATED HIS BODY. this honestly feels like a whole Alec and clary don’t get along but let’s make Alec do the worst possible thing so they can be friends now. get the fuck out of here, not everyone has to worship clary. I certainly don’t and I certainly don’t fucking like her or will ever tolerate her

214. ending thoughts: I know I bring up Alec’s pain the most, it’s because he never seems to recover and is constantly going through it. and he and Magnus are my fucking favs. besides Magnus, Maia, Raphael, simon- alec goes through some of the worst shit possible. and I’ve added it onto a post about everything alec and Magnus (plus thomastair) deal with because it’s an outrageous amount. of all the fears clary has, it’s Simon being unfaithful? seriously? how about all the shit she pulled in the first season? I would have liked to see her fears about how she has treated everyone and what she thinks Alec and Izzy think of her. you know, they could’ve given clary some actual growth but they were like nah, let’s make her almost as insufferable as book clary. or if they didn’t want to make it about Alec r Izzy, how about the fact that she lost her mom for a while and found out she lied all clary’s life and then suddenly died? people die and that’s life but of all things, she worries Simon is cheating?

and same goes for jace. I get he has conflicting views with Maryse and that was a good vision but it would have been nice to see his insecurity with alec. is jace ever jealous of alec? does he hate how he treats alec? is he aware of that? (probably not because he’s self centered) but it would have been nice to see some growth with the treatment of alec from clary and jace. I’m so fucking bloody sick of the parabatai bond only meaning something when jace needs Alec to save him again. Jace doesn’t protect Alec- that whole “I’ll always protect him but while trying to accomplish an interrogation to Magnus was the dumbest attempt he made. since the first episode, jace has been putting Alec through the ringer and I’ve not once seen jace actually go above and beyond to protect Alec. this parabatai bond means absolutely nothing.

Izzy didn’t need one because she’s going through yin fein addiction so we will let her have that so let’s call it a day

215. but also this episode has so much content in just 45 minutes. Alec makes it clear that Magnus isn’t going away and he wants everyone to know how much he adores magnus. Jace hilariously tried to question Magnus and Alec’s relationship as if that’s any of his business and as if he ever carried about Alec. HE DOES NOT and you can’t prove that jace cares about Alec.

Magnus plans this party for alec and then has to deal with Iris, jace and clary bullshit, the love of his life almost dying, Maryse being a cunt, max thinking the worst of him, the poor man goes through it all. Alec almost takes his life and mags seems to be the only one who cares after it’s all done and finished. I never once see jace actually talk to him about it and clary saying “I don’t blame you” just doesn’t seem to be enough especially after all she has done to him and his family.

we find out that max is now a certified shadowhunter and that low scum Robert is cheating on Maryse and that’s why she’s been such a bloody cunt lately. Maryse is still treating Magnus like shit and doesn’t show any appreciation that Magnus saved Alec or any concern that Alec just tried taking his life. oh and the whole stupid I can destroy the sword jace and I can create runes clary bullshit. and it still amazes me how okay everyone is about how jace hid the fate of the downworld from the downworlders. no wonder they fucking retaliate after. I would be hella mad if my family was murdered because of jaces stupidity and he’s walking around as if he didn’t do anything wrong. but all in all, it’s a very good episode and honestly one of my top ten favs but I think it’s poorly executed.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO INCLUDE TRAUMA WRITE IT WELL (and I’m not saying that the show didn’t do Alec and Magnus justice because they did but there is so much that could have been changed for the better) but still a top notch episode and I would give it a 6 on my bitchfest scale

and some extra gifs and others pertaining to my annoyance of CLACE:

me to Alec all first season: 😭

but at least show Malec remains superior

okay okay okay 215 was the number and that is the highest I’ve had so far!!!!!!!! I’ll try to do the next episode probably tomorrow (maybe) but thank you for joining please stop hurting Alec and Magnus and ew rid of CLACE once and for all bitchfest debate discussion post. this was a heavy one and it contained 15 parts!!!!!!! the longest by far but it’s not my fault if I have many opinions but see y’all soon for the next one

[poetpony6890]

hi hi hi I see that u r a jimon shipper? saw something about sending jimon asks... what r ur thoughts an stuff I have not spoken to a jimon shipper in years!! nice to see there r still some out there in the year 2025

OMG HELLO!!!!!!

I’m still here!! BE PREPARED I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR EVER FOR SOMEONE TO ASK ME

Personally, I think Jimon 100 percent happened in Thule and I know because I’m trying to write it

like, do I think it’s a popular ship? Kinda? I feel like it’s like common in people who only read the books. Cause they lowkey had some light beef. I have never watched the show but, this is just my opinion!!

I am so grateful for your ask you have no idea. This is like Christmas morning when your parents aren’t drunk yet. I am a Jimon shipper, I do I feel like yeah Simon and Izzy would be better long term? Yeah I do. Jace and Clary very questionable but they get there. I mean Simon and Izzy had relationship problems because Simon cheated on her, but at one point Jace and Clary kissed when they thought they were siblings, so.

although I know that Cassandra won’t be covering much of Thule in TWP I have my believes and I am sticking to them. No matter what happens I stay strong because they had something none of the others of them had and that was that they truly hated each other. I mean, yeah does Alec hate Clary at one point? Yeah he threw her into a fucking wall, but Jace and Simon just like stay beefing. For life.

I plan on covering my personal day dreams on what I think happened in ASWPB!!

[ladyhindsight]

I’m still in sort of disbelief how Clare thought the canoodling part of the ending scene of this chapter was structured well or even well motivated. How it plays out just paints a pretty clear picture of Clare’s priorities and intentions as a story-teller.

Sometimes some things, especially ill-fitting and ill-timed almost-sex scenes just don’t need to happen, you know.

The chapter opens up with Team Good making their way to Luke’s farm upstate to summon Raziel. They get to talking about Alec’s sexuality and how the Lightwoods are taking it because of a joke Isabelle makes.

This message about Robert is rather relevant here. Because, like R points out, the narrative surrounding Robert is incohesive at best, and his characterization fluctuates wherever the writing needs to without much consistency. There's a lot of fun discussion points about Robert (and Maryse) under his tag on the blog.

Yes, Robert escaped to Idris to get away from his gay son that he loved, not to run for the position of the Inquisitor.

→ No phones in Idris, how would've Robert asked about the trip anyway?

→ Jocelyn doesn’t like Jace (for her own reasons), so she never asks about Jace (Clary complains about this in City of Fallen Angels). → Robert doesn’t care about Magnus (for his own reasons which are a bit complicated and related to the Circle), so he never asks about Magnus.

→ Like the eye color is even guaranteed? Of course this highlights the idiotic opinions of bigoted people, but at the same time, that’s the best you managed to concoct? THE EYES. Though it goes with the little paper cuts for sure.

They are almost at the farm, and we cut to Team Evil. Clary has been sleeping but wakes up when she hears The Boys talking. Jace has been somewhere but would like to see Clary now. Something is off about their exchange and we learn why once Jace goes to see Clary.

We learn that Lilith’s rune on Jace’s chest has been damaged and that he’s momentarily himself again.

The pugio was a dagger used by Roman soldiers as a sidearm. I don’t understand why Jace calls it that here when he later talks about an aegis with which Magdalena stabs him and how the aegis burned Lilith’s Mark.

↓

Again with the em dashes. “She staggered back and grabbed for her worktable, she threw it at me.” I can’t.

→ She staggered back and gabbed for her worktable. There was powdered adamas on it—she threw it at me.

Also “I cried out as she drove it towards my chest”? Awfully poetic retelling of the events that were basically I just kinda shouted when she tried to stab me in the chest.

This is, if I may say, a preposterous claim. He really isn’t or wasn’t. See, Alec, for one. Let’s not rewrite history.

This scene started out nice, the way Clary tries to comfort Jace. As if there could be this lovely and nice intimacy between them that doesn’t need the constant fervor.

…Aaand it’s ruined because everything has to get hot and heavy and passionate between them.

It’s funny how intentionally hilarious this whole conversation of it’s me, that is not me, it’s the other me, the not me me, this you, no the other you, the other me is. Such a mess.

Oh hey, you remembered.

Jace then finally gets to the actual point of what happened when he was away. He also finally reveals what Sebastian’s actual plans are, which, you’d think, would take precedence over wondering whether this is the time to have sex for the first time. But what do I know.

Obviously they can’t have the make-out/almost-sex scene once Jace reveals he took the cup from Magdalena and murdered her so all of the physicality needs to happen before that. What I am saying is, it didn’t need to happen at all because the timing was inappropriate considering the following revelations. Intimacy between characters isn’t always being incredibly horny, especially when just comforting one another.

So far Clary and Not-Jace have been doing this every given opportunity, and I understand that it’s somehow different with Actual-Jace, though writing-wise not at all.

So great that Jace finally got to the point. We almost lost this information because they wanted to bang. Anyway. Now that’s done with. Jace decides he needs to give the cup and himself up to the Clave before he returns to his controlled state, and that’s the end of that bullshit.

[edwin-paynes-bowtie]

For @emmalovesfitzloved Clace Christmas present shopping in NYC- what does that look like? Who are they getting for what? What are they getting Malec’s kids? What r they thinking of getting each other? Era can be post engagement or already married

"Well, well, well," Jace said, shoving his hands in the pockets of his leather jacket. It was warm, lined with wool and fleece, functional in the way that he liked and sexy in the way that Clary appreciated. "Looks like we're in for quite the day."

Christmas in Times Square was always a ridiculous affair. One time, Jace and Clary had run into a homeless guy dressed as Santa, and when they bought him a paper cup of cider he'd turned out to be an Eidolon demon that thanked them with a surprise attack. Another time they had almost squared down with a group of teenagers who were trying to climb onto a bus selling Christmas-themed trinkets. Clary had giggled at them, clearly remembering all of the shamefully stupid antics that she and Jace had gotten up to at their age, and the kids had glared daggers at them in a way that made Jace wish he could attack. "We're not going to fight some kids, Jace," Clary said, yanking him away by the hand. "We're way too old for that."

"But what is I want to fight?" His voice was a lazy drawl. "What if I want to feel alive?"

"Then you can start by finding the perfect gift for your new fiancee," she said. A small smile played on her lips, and Jace thought about how he wanted to kiss each of her freckles individually before dragging her into one of New York's many nooks and crannies before...

Well. He shouldn't let his mind get that carried away.

"I do have a great gift for you," Jace said, and it was the truth. Why wouldn't she love a little Swarovski crystal shaped like a wolf? "Who I don't have a present for, though, are Magnus and Alec."

"Or Max and Rafe," Clary said, and Jace hummed his agreement.

"I, for one, think we should get Max a coloring book," Jace said. "All kids love coloring books. Demon Drawing, you know."

"Or we could get him some kid's comics," Clary said. "I think both he and Rafe are at about the right age for some Pokemon. Maybe even Yu Yu Hakusho, or Tokyo Mew Mew if they're down to break gender stereotypes."

"I think you're a genius," Jace said to Clary. "That's way better than black-and-white pictures of demons."

"I mean, a Pokemon manga is basically that with a twist," Clary bumped Jace on the shoulder. "Have you ever seen Grimer? Muk? Ditto?"

"I barely know what Pokemon are," Jace said with an air of superiority.

"I would say I pity you," Clary told him, "but I don't. I'm pretty excited for you, actually because as soon as we're done here, we're definitely going to go back home and binge-watch the Indigo League."

"I have no idea what that means," Jace said, and Clary grabbed his hand and dragged him off in the direction of Newbury Comics. "Here," she said, "I'll give you a sneak peek."

On the Tip of My Tongue

Shadowhunter Fan Fic - Hurt/Comfort Bingo Fill

This fic is a one-shot to fill a square on my Hurt/Comfort bingo card cas created by @sweetspicybingo

Prompt filled: it's not fair to recovery room

Fandom: Shadowhunters

Pairing: Jalec - Jace Wayland/Alec Lightwood

Rating: Mature (for violence)

“Jace!!! Nooo!!!” Alec dropped his bow and the arrow he was about to shoot as he watched Jace collapse to the ground, the warlock and his ravener demon were pulverized by Magnus’ magic but not before Jace had been first stung by the demon’s poisoned tail to his shoulder and been blasted by a sickly green nearly opaque pulse of demon powered magic from the warlock who’d been brainwashed to do Valentine’s bidding.

It was the latest of Valentine’s series of passive-aggressive and increasingly less subversive attacks on the New York Institute and the Clave by extension. Alec himself went down as his legs went out from under him with the agonizing pain that raced through him via his bond with Jace. It wasn’t fair that Jace was getting hurt all the time, he protected both Clary, the cup and by extension the entire Downworlder population with stubborn conviction which only left in harm's way time and time again.

He crawled the last few feet, so that he could cradle Jace’s head in his lap, wrap protective arms around him and whisper encouragement to stay awake, to not give in. The spark in Jace’s beautiful multi-colored eyes was dulling and he could sense Jace fading through the bond.

The blond shadowhunter held on to Alec’s arms that embraced him to then look up into those gorgeous hazel eyes and with barely any sound to it said: “I love you too.” before he passed out.

The beeping was annoying and incessant but somehow he knew he needed to not ignore it, as his mind and body came back online. Jace went through what felt like quicksand to try and claw his way up to a fully awake state. When he opened his eyes, everything was blurry at first, but came into focus slowly as he took in the darkened room he was in.

The beeping was a heart-rate monitor beside his bed; he recognized the room as one of the recovery rooms at the New York Institute. He racked his brain for how he had gotten here but came up blank. The last thing he remembered was a flash of green and searing pain in his left shoulder and Alec’s concerned hazel eyes above him and then nothing but blackness until now.

He looked down from his half seated position and saw the blood transfusion needle stuck in the back of his hand along with another in his arm to administer a bag of clear liquids. His shoulder was bandaged he could just see the dark gray material poke out from underneath the navy blue hospital gown he was wearing.

His hand that wasn’t doubling as a pin cushion, was loosely covered by Alec’s, who had fallen asleep, his head resting on the bed beside Jace’s hip. He looked beautiful and peaceful in sleep. Gently Jace pulled his hand out from under his and carded his fingers gently through the shock of unruly black hair, and could feel his parabatai push into the gentle touch. Jace wanted him so much more than he could ever admit out loud, especially after finding out that Alec felt the same way. The words had been at the tip of his tongue ever since that catastrophic memory demon experience a few weeks back. However, Jace also knew that Valak had taken that memory from Alec so who knew if he even still felt the love that he had so unwillingly disclosed in front of all of them as it had floated towards the memory demon.

Alec slowly opened his eyes, he was sleep-drunk and rather adorably rubbed his eyes before he looked up at Jace who regarded him with a gentle smile.

“Hey there, brother.”

“How are you feeling?”

“Like I’ve been blasted by errant magic and stung by a demon?” Jace tried to laugh but winced when the motion pulled the wound on his shoulder.

“Hey take it easy, funny guy. Do you remember what happened?”

“I remember the warlock aiming at me and that ravener demon appearing out of nowhere. I’ve never seen a warlock with a ravener familiar. It was a very strange thing to see. And then I saw you crouching over me, encouraging me to stay awake before I passed out.”

As Jace said this he recalled vividly and with utmost certainty that what he had said to Alec, seeing his parabatai’s face fall was all the proof he needed.

“Anything else you recall?”

“Yeah, only just now though; I love you Alec, been wanting to say it since the Valak incident but too afraid to. The curse, our bond. I was worried it would change everything but I love you in the way that I shouldn't but I can’t deny it.”

Alec kissed him then, a soft tender meeting of their lips, the touch between them was electric and it made their bond thrum with increased intensity and connectedness, as the link between solidified infinitely more and it couldn’t feel more right to either of them.

Heir To The Lands Chapter 29

Masterpost Everyone Wants An Answer

The night had been terrible. Ty had cried himself to sleep in Kit's comforting embrace and the blonde hadn't slept at all out of the fear Ty would wake up in the middle of the night for a toilet break and cry some more in the bathroom. Taking care of Ty was his number one priority at the moment. Livvy's spirit and his foster parents were wisely leaving Ty to Kit, recognizing a small group of people fussing over him would stress him out more then just letting Kit handle it. Kit stared at him as he slept, and only left the bed to close his curtains when the sun began to shine. Ty slept and slept until his phone started buzzing. He stirred in his sleep and Kit couldn't help but glance at the object and wondering if Ty would be okay with him answering a probably concerned Jules. But thank the Angel, he didn't have to. Because his own phone also started buzzing and he saw both of them were texted by Dru. He quickly placed Ty's phone on the nightstand to read the text she had send him, 'It's a bit of a story, but I made it back safely from Faerie. I did require the help of Ragnor and he reminded me of being on the verge of a panic attack. What did Gwyneth and Jaime say? Because I think the Shadow World is already feeling whatever threat the Seelie Queen is planning.' Kit was euphoric yet anxious at once at Dru's message and he slowly shook Ty awake. The boy's pale eyelids fluttered until his gaze landed on Kit. After a moment of hesitation, Kit spoke, "Ty, I know your mind is too overcome right now, but you need to know Dru made it back! Somehow, she came across Ragnor and that's honestly all she texted me. But I wanted you to know she is safe." Ty's hands started fluttering as his mind was visibly racing, and Kit tried stroking his hair out of the Blackthorn boy's face, wondering what he should do to help Ty process. "Is it okay if I get you some tea?" He asked hesitantly and after a minute of silence Ty started nodding which Kit took as a yes.

Alec had called his friends to his and Magnus' apartment. Magnus had been overtly dotting by spoiling their children rotten with toys so they would be distracted for a couple of hours because they refused to go to bed once they realized that their uncles and aunties were coming over. Toys R Us is shutting down anyways, he said. Alec did not know enough about bankruptcy or mundane parenting to fully understand the picture of mundane kids and their apparant new religion of tablets, but he did not have the energy to care. Because all his mind was consumned with, where thoughts on the raid. For someone had broken into his office and stolen all kinds of files, including his correspondence with Manuel. He was sick with worry and Magnus' earlier phone call with Ragnor was enough to have his husband grow pale and quiet. For Magnus to look that distraught, it would need to take a whole lot. Alec's heart was resting in his shoes as he raced to the door as he heard the familiar doorbell and the loud yapping between Jace and Simon.

Dru had sent the text, Thais was gone from their room. She was willing to bet she was assigned to the student patrol- this was a program Luke thought up to help the New York Enclave by easing up their burdens whilst simultaneously having the opportunity to train students in actual combat. The New York neon lights ruled the dark skies as all of her thoughts floated through her head, finally getting to process everything that happened. Jaime's terrible state, meeting Ash Morgenstern again and Ragnor's worrying booth. It all sank down her mind like an anchor dropped in the vast ocean. She laid down on her bed, groaning at the long day she had. "Kit, what on earth has the Seelie Queen got planned for you?" She asked the ceiling just as the door to her room opened. Dru shot up as not one, but several people entered her room. She was just about to reach for her stele as the light switch flicked on. Thais, Laura, Tomas, Zeynep and Tavi were all standing in the room. Thais looked worried but annoyed with Tomas behind her exuding his usual calm and collected aura, Laura looked confused, Zeynep looked tired and Tavi was looking at her with one brow raised before scanning the room with disinterest. "Welcome Dru. Can you explain to me the meaning behind my brother's text?" Tomas asked as he held up his phone expectantly and Dru knew her long day wasn't over yet.

don't kiss me right now

takes place at the end of city of bones. jace returns home from being kidnapped by valentine, world torn to pieces from the news he received and is looking for any sense of normalcy he can get his hands on.

cw: mild cursing, a couple injuries mentioned

takes place the same night as old friends and familiar faces. could be considered part two.

The dust settled—Rowan finally got Isabelle to go to bed, staying there until she fell asleep, per her request. She was anxious about Jace who still wasn’t home, but she needed to rest in order to heal what the iratze couldn’t. They stopped in the infirmary to check on Alec, who was still asleep. He looked peaceful there—which made them happy but concerned them a little. To save their own sanity, they took his wrist in their hand and held two fingers to the outside, feeling for his pulse. It helped ease their anxieties about him, knowing the magic Magnus used was working and he was just asleep. They gently laid his hand back down and wrote a small note on a scrap piece of paper, leaving it on the bedside table. 

I’m in the library. Shout if you need something. And if you insist on moving, please use the crutches. —R

With that, they walked off to the library, curling up on the window seat with the book they’d left there a few days prior. It shocked them that they hadn’t seen Hodge in a few hours, but he was known to disappear into the greenhouse for hours. They weren’t taking the trip up. 

They had only a few pages of the book left when they heard the Institute front doors open—they were pretty large so made some noise when they moved. With a sigh, they stood and made their way out of the library, going to see who was at the door at this hour. Hopefully, it wasn’t someone from the Clave Maryse forgot to warn them was coming. They had enough problems right now. 

Isabelle was in the hallway when they turned the corner, also walking in the direction of the foyer. “You’re up early,” they said, falling into step with her. “You alright?”

“Can't sleep,” she said with a sigh. “Do you know who’s here?”

“I’m hoping it’s not your mom, at least,” they said, trying (and probably failing) to keep the mood light. “We’ve got enough on our plate. And we still need to find—“

They turned the corner into the foyer and saw Jace standing by the door, kicking off dirty boots and shucking off his jacket. There was some blood on his shirt—which they hoped wasn’t his own. 

“Jace,” Isabelle said in a half whisper, practically running for him. She jumped into his arms and squeezed tight around his neck, feet coming off of the floor slightly as he sat up a little straighter. They noticed the tired look in his eyes as he picked up his head, making eye contact with them from a few feet away. He said nothing, just stared blankly until Isabelle pulled away. Something was incredibly wrong with him. 

“Where were you? Are you alright?” she asked, running her hands over his arms, inspecting for injuries. “Are you bleeding?”

He shook his head. “I’m fine. And Cl—” he coughed like the words were uncomfortable. “Clary is fine.” He spoke slowly, labored—there was a lot he wasn’t letting on and they were curious. The look in his eye told them to leave him alone for the time being, though. 

There was a soft noise behind them, like someone stumbling forward. They turned to see Alec, fumbling with the crutches, slowly hobbling out of the infirmary doors. “What’s all the noise?” he asked, rubbing his eyes while trying not to drop the crutches. 

This time, it was Jace who moved. Isabelle stepped out of his way as he made a beeline for Alec, brushing past Rowan like they didn’t even exist. A few months ago, that would have hurt. Maybe it did now. But they never could compete with the relationship they had, could they?

Alec stumbled back slightly, though Jace kept him upright in his arms. Slowly, his shoulders relaxed and Alec’s head fell on his shoulder. They could hear the two mumbling, but not what was said, and they saw Jace’s shoulders shake slightly. They both stood there, longer than they expected, in an embrace that they knew they each needed. 

The bond between two parabatai was something they’d never understand, though they wished they could. For a while, when they were kids, they thought they did—Alec, maybe. They were inseparable for a long time—the three of them became a trio, after a while. There was always something different between the two, though; they didn’t think they’d ever understand it. Things were tense between themselves and Jace lately, which made things strained with them and Alec. They were one and the same in a lot of ways, but opposites in others. They were soul brothers in a way they couldn’t describe. It was evident in the way both of their shoulders slumped, finally relaxing once they knew the other was safe. 

When Jace finally pulled away, he still kept close to Alec, keeping his hand on his arm. “I can tell everyone the story in the morning, I…I don’t think I’ll be awake for very long.”

Alec nodded. “My leg hurts,” he muttered, slowly slumping over his crutches the longer he stayed awake. 

Isabelle made her way to the two of them, Rowan joining her shortly after. “Bedtime,” they said gently, gesturing down the hall. “Alec, forgive me, but I’m not trusting you upstairs yet. Back to the infirmary.”

He groaned like a toddler being asked to go to bed at a normal hour. It made each of them crack a smile as they led everyone back the hall. Isabelle broke off from them with a quick “goodnight”, and they continued down to the infirmary. 

[][][][][]

After getting Alec set up with a glass of water and enough blankets to keep him warm, they turned back to Jace. He sat on the bed next to Alec’s, applying an iratze to his forearm. They sat on the bed next to him, silent until he was done. He put the stele down and ran his hand through his hair. It was quiet. Though New York was never exactly silent, the Institute walls blocked out much of the noise from outside. Surprisingly, Alec broke the silence first—with quiet snores as he slept. 

 “Is that your I’m going to lecture you for disappearing look or your I’m waiting to pick a fight look? Because I’m not in the mood.” Jace’s voice was dry and sarcastic, clearly tired. They noticed the shadows under his eyes and his hands shaking slightly—the longer they looked, the worse he appeared. 

“Neither,” they said. “Just…don’t want to go to bed yet.”

“Me neither.” He turned slightly towards them, curling his legs next to him to sit semi-comfortably on the stiff bed. 

Rowan had always paid attention to the little details—there were things they knew about Jace that few others did. He liked to flip a stele between his fingers like a pencil, fidgeting with it when he was bored. For such a calm and collected person, they’d noticed over the years he had a hard time sitting still, especially if he was anxious about something. When he was thinking, he furrowed his eyebrows just slightly. When he was tired, his shoulders slumped forward, his impeccable posture falling to the wayside. 

And they knew from the look in his eye as soon as he turned what was coming next. 

Jace kissed them. 

It was gentle, probably more gentle than he’d ever kissed them in his life. He wouldn’t admit it but he was fragile at the moment. Whatever happened when he left broke him and he was vying for something to stabilize him. This was familiar—they spent almost two years kissing between training sessions and hanging out in the library, going on missions together, saying little “I love you”s before they fell asleep—they had a hard time sleeping on their own and spent many nightmare-filled nights in his bed instead. 

The worst part—they felt a pit in their stomach as they realized they enjoyed it. They missed spending time with him, laughing with him, kissing him…they were still, stupidly, in love with him. It didn’t matter how angry they were or how harsh his words were when they fought, they couldn’t deny the rush they felt when he kissed them, when his hand found theirs—in short, it was intoxicating and he never wanted it to end. 

He pulled away first, but they backed up farther. They could see the guilt in his eyes as he realized what he’d done, but there was no point in yelling at him and waking Alec. They’d never seen the look on Jace’s face before when he came in the Institute doors a few minutes prior—shell shocked and almost in tears, but it looked like they wouldn’t come if he tried to make himself cry. That was a terrible feeling—swallowing your pride and trying to cry but being unable to. They were all too familiar. 

“Jace,” they said softly, glancing down to their hands—he still had his on top of theirs and they didn’t pull away. 

His voice shook when he spoke. “I’m sorry—“

“Don’t.” They cut him off, not wanting to hear apologies when he was so distraught. “What happened?”

He fell forward, burying his face in his hands and resting his elbows on his knees. They watched, again, as his shoulders and breath shook but heard no semblance of cries. In general, they weren’t good at comforting people—despite their issues, though, they would try. Not trying would be cruel at this point. 

They ran their hand up and down his back, mimicking the things he used to do for them when they woke up with a terrible dream. He settled after a moment and explained. “I found Valentine,” he said, sitting up a bit straighter. They didn’t stop. “He…he took me to his hideout in New York. He told me he’s my father.”

Rowan paused, mouth opening in shock. “That’s not possible, you said—“

“He faked his death and sent me here. He…he knew if people found out he wasn’t Michael Wayland, they’d try to kill him and me, so he ran. He left me alone for years, I…”

He trailed off, struggling to find the words he needed to explain everything. They inched a little closer, very gently laying their arm around his shoulders. “There’s more,” he said after a long minute. “Valentine…he’s also Clary’s father. She’s my sister.”

Rowan’s eyes went wide, but they barely had time to process what he just said when he turned into them and rested his head on their shoulder, half in a hug. Clearly, he needed it. 

That was why he kissed them. That’s why he was spending the night in the infirmary next to Alec—not because he was injured, but because he didn’t want to be alone. That’s why he bolted for Alec the moment he saw him. He needed something normal and familiar now that his life had been completely turned upside down. They took a deep breath and brushed a hand through his hair, trying to help him somehow. But how do you help something like that? 

“I’m sorry, Jace,” they muttered, continuing the small movements, trying to soothe him in any way possible. They knew how much he cared for Clary, not that anyone had to tell them. They’d watch how he looked at her—similar to how he looked at them, once, but somehow it was different. There was something stronger between them—a connection, maybe similar to that of his and Alec’s, that they’d never understand. Maybe that’s what it was. Something didn’t feel right about it, but who were they to question it? 

He didn’t say anything for the rest of the night. After a while, they realized he’d fallen asleep on their shoulder and decided to try to make him comfortable. He’d always been a light sleeper so he tried not to move him too much. They kept their hand on his head and laid him down as they crawled off of the bed and pulled the sheet over him. They placed his stele, still on the bed, on the nightstand and sighed, returning to the library. 

They knew for a fact, once they met this girl with the Sight, things were going to change. Nothing good becomes of mundanes getting involved in the Shadow World. Now Valentine is back and Hodge was gone, Alec almost died, Clary and Jace are siblings and they had no idea what was going to happen next. They always had a plan—whether it was the things they wanted to do in a day, or their goals for the next five years. They had something to rely on and some idea of what they wanted to do—something to come back to. However, they had a sinking feeling that all of that was going to change incredibly soon.

To Hell With the Consequences - Chapter 3

Alec Lightwood knows danger - as the son of a prominent criminal family, it's something he's intimately familiar with. However, a chance encounter at a club proves that there's more out there than he was originally aware and he finds himself suddenly thrust into a world where All The Legends Are True.

After dispatching the demon, Alec hadn’t wanted to linger, despite wanting to spend more time with Magnus. His siblings and Clary had had a few drinks by the time he’d gotten back to the club floor, so it hadn’t taken much convincing to suggest they move the party somewhere else. He shepherded the group into an Uber to send them back across town to a place owned by one of his parents’ associates, and promised to meet them there. This was New York, after all, and he knew that if he left his bike where he’d parked it, it would be gone by morning.

It was only a short distance away but city traffic took no mercy on him, and what should have been a fifteen minute drive nearly doubled. Alec was sitting at yet another red light, growing ever more frustrated at the non-stop honking and cussing around him. His smart watch vibrated and he glanced down, expecting to find a message from Jace or Izzy letting him know that they had arrived safely at their destination, and was surprised to find a message from his father instead. Apparently, they had something to discuss with him urgently, and he knew his parents well enough to know that meant now instead of later tonight.

When the light turned green and traffic had moved enough that Alec could quickly change lanes and reroute himself, he took the opportunity and turned right down a side road. He knew that Clary would be slightly upset that he’d skipped out on her birthday but truthfully, Alec didn’t know her all that well and he was certain his siblings could make it up to her. He’d let Izzy know that he’d been summoned by their parents when he arrived. She’d make an appropriate Mundane excuse for his disappearance that wasn’t ‘our parents run the mafia and when they ask to see you, you don’t take your time.’

Five minutes and some very illegal driving later, he was pulling his bike into the underground parking garage of the Institute’s main building, knowing that if Maryse and Robert wanted to see him in an official capacity, they’d do so in their seat of power. Security stepped aside as he stepped through the door and let himself into the elevator that would take him to the top floor. When the car came to a stop and the doors opened, he wasn’t surprised to find both of his parents waiting for him.

Robert was behind his desk with a file opened in front of him as he flipped through the pages and scanned the contents contained inside. Maryse, on the other hand, was perched on the edge of the desk, tapping her fingers as if she had been waiting for Alec to arrive. “You’re late. I expect expediency from the future head of this organization.”

Alec’s parents had never been just a mother and a father to him and his siblings. Nannies, and later Alec himself, had been left to raise the Lightwood children while Maryse and Robert ran their organization. As he got older, he’d become quite accustomed to being treated merely as an employee rather than their son, so being faced with Maryse’s direct tone and snide comment was nothing out of the ordinary for him. There was no point in trying to argue with her about the speed in which he responded to her summons - she would think he was wrong regardless. 

“I apologize for the delay,” he said instead, tipping his head in acknowledgment. “I’ll endeavor to make sure that it doesn’t happen again. 

“For your sake, it better not,” Maryse said simply as she grabbed a folder off Robert’s desk and handed it to him. “We have a new job for you.”

“As you are probably aware, there have been whispers that Valentine Morgenstern was making his return to New York. Until today, we’ve been unable to confirm the validity of those rumors,” Robert explained, fixing Alec with a look that would have made a lesser man squirm. “However, we now know what we’ve been hearing seems to be the truth. Valentine reached out to us earlier this morning asking for a meeting and confirming his return to the city. He wants to be partners.”

“And you accepted?” Alec asked, shocked at his father’s words. “After what he did last time? He tried to set both of you up to take the fall when the FBI came knocking. You nearly ended up in prison…and we all know that despite what judges or jurors you would have paid off, your sentence wouldn’t have been light. You got lucky last time that they just arrested Hodge and let the rest of you walk. I can’t believe you’re willing to take that chance again.”

“That’s enough, Alec!” His mother snapped, putting an abrupt end to any further argument he was about to make. “Your father and I have discussed the offer that Valentine put forth and we’ve decided it’s in our best interests to accept.” 

Every single one of Alec’s instincts was screaming at him that this was a bad idea. He hadn’t been around during their last encounter with Valentine. He’d been far too young to remember what was going on around him, and his parents had sent him away to an estate they owned in the country until he was a bit older and less of a risk to have around. Still, though, years later, the story of how Valentine betrayed the Lightwoods was still used as a cautionary tale about trusting the wrong sort of people in this dangerous world they all lived in.

Alec knew arguing with either of them at this moment in time would be fruitless. His best plan of action, if he hoped to help them see sense, was to hear them out and then take the information to someone he could trust and hope that someone else was able to get through to his parents. “And what was the offer? What was so worthwhile that you’d even consider dealing with the man who burned you?”

Choosing to ignore the disgust in Alec’s voice, Maryse began to explain. “Valentine’s business in New York, he assures us, is temporary but important. He promised that if we can offer him aid while he’s in the city, that once he leaves after his work is completed in the next couple of months, he’ll leave us in a better position than when he came. An offer like that…obviously it’s not something we can say no to if it will aid us in running our organization.”

Alec had to resist the urge to lash out at his parents for their stupidity. How could they think this was anything but an absolutely insane idea? Were they really willing to sacrifice everything that they had and then some for the slightest hint of…what? Power? Wealth? “And what, pray tell, does he want from us for his generosity?” he asked, well aware of how cold his voice was but finding himself rather uncaring.

“Obviously, he didn’t bring an entire crew with him since his time in the city is said to be temporary. Because of that, he’d like some assistance from us in terms of capable hands. He needs someone who can assist with the sensitive nature of his work, who will follow orders and not get in his way,” Maryse replied, matching her tone to the one that he had previously used. 

“Well, if Hodge were here I’d guess you would be sending him…but since that bridge was burned last time you worked with Valentine, who are you sending instead? Aldertree? Raj?”

“We are sending him you, Alec. What better way to cement our new partnership than by sending our own son?” She snapped, finally growing tired of Alec’s attitude toward a decision that had already been made.

The bottom dropped out of Alec’s stomach, and every single plan he’d been making to convince his parents that this was a bad idea was instantly thrown out the window as the situation at hand got instantly worse with a few short sentences. “What?” He asked, trying to find a way, any way, to get out of the situation his parents were setting him up for. “I’ve got other duties…I can’t just drop it all to be at Valentine’s beck and call.”

“Jace can cover for you while you’re away,” Robert said simply, like he and Maryse had already considered all of this. “This is a good opportunity, Alec. Not only does it show Valentine our willingness to put the past behind us, but it gives us a trustworthy person on the inside. If he intends to screw us over again, we’ll know that it’s coming this time.”

“So you don’t trust him but you’re willing to hand over your oldest child because he said there might be something in it for you at the end? Why? You know he’s going to screw you over like he did last time…and where does that leave me? In prison for life like Hodge is now? At the bottom of the river with cinderblocks strapped to my feet? Or would he even bother telling you where my body is? Would you even care to recover it? And then what? Do you send Jace or Izzy into the Lion’s Den so that he can do the same thing to them?”

“That’s enough, Alec!” His mother shouted, pure fury radiating off every inch of her body. “This isn’t up for a debate. Take tonight to get all of your outstanding work in a state that Jace can easily take it over without too much trouble. You’ll start tomorrow - he’s staying at Baccarat while he’s in the city. You can meet him there at 7 AM sharp. Do not disappoint me, Alec. If we catch any word of you disobeying orders, you will greatly regret it.”

Alec narrowed his eyes, wanting to argue but recognizing the dismissal for what it was, and knowing his mother well enough to know that the conversation was over. All he could do was tip his head and take his leave. He needed to get home, process everything he’d learned, and come up with a plan to make sure he made it through this alive, and with as little chance of fall out for him and his siblings as possible. 

----------

It took the better part of two hours and dozens of phone calls to pass off his daily duties and arrange everything so that Jace could pick up where he left off the following day. He would have preferred to call his brother over now and discuss the finer details with him in person, but he knew that it would be a lost cause tonight given how he was certain that his siblings were still out celebrating Clary’s birthday. He’d have to leave detailed instructions and hope it was enough to get Jace started…he could always text Alec if he needed further clarification.

Alec poured himself two fingers of whiskey and collapsed on his couch. What the hell were his parents thinking? Why were they willing to risk everything - their empire, their lives, their children - on a possibility of…what? Power? Wealth? Those are things they already had. Why were they willing to throw all of that away for more?

He wished he could get his parents to see reason. Valentine wasn’t a good man, hell, no one in their world could be considered a good person but his new employer was one of the worst. Despite the wide reach of their criminal empire, there were still some things his parents refused to touch - human trafficking, political meanderings, arms trading — but Valentine didn’t have the same hang ups that the Lightwoods did. What exactly would he ask Alec to do during his stay in New York? And could he live with himself afterwards?

He swore and tossed his whiskey back, frustrated tears forming in his eyes. He was the son of Maryse and Robert Lightwood, he shouldn’t be sitting here crying because he didn’t want to take the job that he’d been given. People feared him last night, they feared him. He was better than this. He could take whatever Valentine was going to throw his way and, if he lived after all of this was said and done, he’d find a way to handle the aftermath of what he’d been asked to do.

He didn’t know what the next couple of weeks would bring for him but he’d be damned if he was going to let himself walk in without being both prepared and armed to the teeth. The gun safe in his closet held an arsonal of weapons - all sans serial numbers and varying levels of legality. If he was going to war, and the more he thought about it, the more this felt like actual war, he needed to make sure he was plenty prepared. 

He unlocked the safe and grabbed a few guns from inside, setting them on the table before going to get the rest of the supplies that he’d need to check and clean them. Maybe he could use this repetitive motion to clear his mind. Usually, he’d go to the range and shoot his bow until his fingers bled but if he was expected to report to Valentine in the morning, he didn’t have time to lose himself in draw-release-repeat. He set the gun he’d used tonight on the table and emptied the chamber of his special bullets, setting those to the side so he could put those back with the rest of his specialty weapons and ammo. 

Alec paused briefly, his eyes glancing over the remainder of the blessed bullets. Should he take any of those with him? Would he encounter any demons while doing whatever it was that Valentine asked him to do? If evil called to evil, then the monster that was Valentine Morganstern would attract the biggest, baddest monsters that Alec had ever encountered. Magnus had said there was more out there…

He bit his lip, considering all his options. It was better to be overprepared than woefully underprepared and dead. He didn’t have to look after his siblings when he was at Valentine’s beck and call, and he didn’t really care about the man or his crew’s safety but Alec would be damned if he let himself be injured because he’d chosen to just take normal weapons knowing there are things that go bump in the night lurking in the dark alleys and around unseen corners. 

He had enough silver and holy water dipped bullets to be comfortable for a few days and, if he was lucky, he could sneak away and visit his source for some more. Maybe he could even get a crash course from Magnus about what other things he could expect to encounter so he could better prepare himself. What other ways could he defend himself? What would he do if he encountered someone like Magnus who could wield magic? Valentine’s reach was far - and there was no way that there wasn’t someone or something supernatural involved somehow.

Alec started cleaning his gun, mulling over his options. He needed a backup plan, in case something happened before he had a chance to stock up or talk to Magnus. He needed his siblings to See things the way he did so if he did end up dying while in Valentine’s service, they could be safe. They needed to know about monsters and demons and the rest of the supernatural world…and maybe Magnus could help with that. Maybe he could open their eyes in a way that didn’t involve excruciating pain and demon venom. And, maybe if he couldn’t do that, he might know a way that would keep them safe even when Alec himself could not.

It was, of course, a lot to ask of someone he had just met but Alec’s options were practically non existent and he was running out of time. Before he could stew on the future much longer, something whizzed by his head, that had Alec reaching for his gun, instantly on high alert. A sheet of flaming parchment floated slowly to the coffee table, and Alec could only watch as the flames began to extinguish themselves. The page was filled with an eloquent, flowing script, and despite his better judgement, he reached for the paper and picked it up so that he could read.

Alexander - 

I realize that tonight may have been quite the adventure for someone who wasn’t used to the hustle and bustle of life in the Supernatural world. Though you are a Mundane, your interaction with the demon those years ago and your subsequent rescue has left you with the Sight. If you have any questions about the things that you see, please don’t hesitate to ask. Knowledge is power and I wouldn’t be a very good High Warlock if I left someone in my city clueless in the face of danger.

I realize that you are probably a very busy man but I would love to get to know you better. It’s not everyday I get rescued by an angel. You can always find me at Pandemonium - just give the bouncer your name and you’ll be let in without question. If I’m not in the VIP section, I’m back in my office, and any of my staff members will be able to let you through. If you’d prefer a change of scenery, however, I would love the opportunity to take you to dinner — your choice of any restaurant. (I’ll let you in on a little secret…when I say any restaurant, I mean it. My magic lets me create a portal to anywhere in the world. Pastries in France? Sausages in Germany? Your wish is my command.)

Thank you again for your assistance with the demon this evening, and I look forward to seeing your pretty face again, Angel. Please don’t hesitate to call or text. My days and nights will be instantly better knowing that you are alright.

Until next time, 

Magnus Bane

season 2, episode 4 “day of wrath” aka we finally are rid of one of the most annoying characters

hiiiiii y’all and welcome back 🫶🏼 I don’t care much for this episode (I love some aspects) but for me, it feels like a whole thing “well Alec did this so clary should be allowed to be mean to him” and that’s a vibe I don’t fuck with. but I got my gifs ready, and my stupid thoughts are here to stay so let’s get into it (and let’s be clear, alec didn’t do anything wrong but I hate the way clary treats him. it feels like a whole thing of well he’s been rude to her since she arrived so she can have at it now) (and maybe others won’t agree but it felt like a whole thing of how clary can treat Alec and Izzy however she wants and it’s ok because she’s got trauma I guess) (and I’m just super protective of Alec Magnus Izzy Maia Simon and so on)

1. I’m already annoyed because we start with clary going to the city of bones to show jace her undying love she has for him (pretty sure siblings should be this intimate but whatever) (I don’t care if it’s misleading info, they think they’re related)

2. never thought jace would say another thing I like but seriously!!!!!! I hate show clace with every bone in my body but compared to the books? yeah it could’ve been a whole lot worse. Jace and clary think they are siblings AND STILL try to have a relationship that is full of abuse and toxicity. so at least the show didn’t do all that. oh no wonder CC hates it so much 🥰

3. those stitches on the silent brothers creep me the fuck out. anyone ever seen Hannibal? if anyone remembers season two, that’s all I can think about if their stitches came undone 😭 THAT WHOLE SEASON TRAUMATIZED ME LMAO

4. ok ok ok I’m done but I needed a break from all the clace shit im about to endure

5. I’m actually surprised jace is asking about Alec. I certainly don’t remember that

6. did clary really say he’s here because of her? I’m glad jace is saying she’s not what put him here. he chose to join valentine more than once and I’m getting real tired of everyone ignoring this. they watched him leave and still want to act surprised that he’s in this predicament. I’m actually proud of him trying to take accountability and that’s a lot coming from me because I fucking loathe him

7. HE TOLD YOUR ASS TO LEAVE SO LEAVE

8. “you’re my weakness” omg I just threw up 🤢 someone order me some tums

9. this is the first time I’ve actually seen jace try to hold himself accountable, you should try doing the same clary

10. because your life is worth saving Alexander 🥹

11. I think I’m getting better at this whole making a gif thing 👏🏼 no but seriously YOU ARE WORTH IT ALEC SO DONT FORGET IT

12. but also it’s so crazy that it’s only been probably a few days since they got together and Malec has had to deal with: the wedding that didn’t happen, Maryse being prejudiced against magnus, Alec telling everyone off, jace leaving and making it Alec’s problem, and then alec almost dying and magnus losing a love before it gets started. that’s a lot of shit to deal with in this early of a relationship

it doesn’t feel as though time hasn’t sped by because so much happens in season one. but it’s probably been a week or two. MAN ALEC AND MAGS NEED A VACAY

13. I’m happy that alec is thanking magnus. he literally wore himself out and still didn’t manage to save alec (I know some of the gifs kinda repeat themselves but I wanted to get all the facial expressions from Malec because they do it best)

14. yeah quit slacking and go on a date already (THEY HAVE BEEN RUDELY INTERRUPTED THRICE)

15. Alec is so cute when he stutters around magnus. they could be together for 5 years, 10 years, 20- and Alec would still be a stuttering mess

16. Magnus: oh I make him nervous how fun this is for me

17. I SWEAR IF MY AUTOCORRECT FAILS ME ONE MORE TIME WHEN I SPELL MAGNUS TO MY CATS NAME ILL- I mean, they’re pretty much the same. golden eyed demonic boys who I love with everything so whatever lmao

18. I think raj is upset

19. someone holds a grudge 😬

20. good riddance

21. I mean if I was part of the clave and found out some bitch was hiding the most important artifact for 18 years, I wouldn’t trust her either because what gave Jocelyn the idea that it was her responsibility to hide the most valuable artifact in the shadow world. look- I don’t trust the clave but I would put my fate in their hands instead of someone like Jocelyn who I could never trust)

22. getting rid of Jocelyn was one of the best things the show could have possibly done. she’s an inconvenience and never did once learn how to properly be a parent. what clary needed was a mother and not a friend. not someone to excuse her decisions and allow her to get away with whatever she wanted. she needed a shit ton of therapy and guidance. Jocelyn was always too terrified of parenting clary and worried more if her daughter hated her. she is a terrible mother and I’ll say it again SHE IS A TERRIBLE MOTHER 🎙️

23. I think one of the biggest reasons why clary is who she is because of Jocelyn. Jocelyn allowed clary to get away with whatever she did in fear of punishing clary or having her think that clary hated her. I’m sorry but in the show, I hardly saw Jocelyn actually be a mother. Clary even says in the first season how Jocelyn is her best friend. a mother should be a mother, not your friend. Jocelyn gif so much from clary so that trust is already broken and I don’t think clary respects Jocelyn. all the work she made Alec undergo for Jocelyn and it wasn’t that worth it in my most humble opinion

24. fuck we missed sending clary off to idris and I’ll always be resentful about that

25. Alec: no I don’t want you on my team but we need someone literally anyone would do

26. Isabelle is killing it in the fashion department like I don’t think she’s ever worn something that was awful and I’m so glad they gave Alec some good fashion sense. he’s not killing it the way Magnus does but it annoyed me how in the books Alec is wearing clothing that is torn as if he can’t dress himself and has to be in raggedy clothing. you can tell CC fucking hated and hates Alec

27. Alec: hurry the fuck up

28. Alec is not trying to die because of you again

29. I’m going to miss Alec being rude to clary or not wanting to deal with her because it’s valid

30. Clary tries for one second: omg Alec this is too hard. I’m used to getting things handed to me. Alec: it’s clapped patience so don’t push my fucking patience

31. it’s everyone’s dream for clary to leave so ya can’t blame Alec

32. Clary has been causing problems left to right so anyone would want to rid of her lmao

33. MY POOR RAPHAEL

34. I know I stated before that aldertree isn’t evil but this was pure evil. torturing Raphael is against the accords but aldertree doesn’t care. it’s a two in one victory for aldertree because he gets to torture a vampire for information while also getting revenge against Magnus. this has been my whole rant against shadowhunters- they do this- violating the accords and get away with it but downworlders don’t get the same sort of grace and treatment

35. I wanted to post these from the past

36. in each episode, I will post moments from season one or previous episodes I forgot or felt like I didn’t bitch about enough. so here’s two Alec moments that I love (am will include Matt interviews or just random stuff)

37. I love my man ALEC just telling people off. he’s so good at it

38. I’m so sad for Raphael because he’s not responsible for Camille but since he can’t find her and Simon isnt doing a good enough job, it’s on Raphael since he is clan leader to apparently pay for Camille’s crimes

39. I think getting rid of Camille and ragnor was a huge mistake. for someone of Camille’s caliber, I expected more of a fight when it came to Raphael taking power. they almost took all of Magnus’s past away and the only friend who gets to stay is Catarina. Alec has Izzy and jace isn’t worthy of being his friend but why does it feel that Magnus gets left without almost nothing but Alec? he’s hardly around any of the warlocks once he’s with Alec. and this isn’t anti anything, I just wish they gave Magnus more of a balance. there is so much content when it comes to Magnus, alec, and Malec that they could have used and done. it’s so much more interesting than CLACE and let’s be real- people watched for Malec, Maia and Simon Raphael Izzy but mainly malec, Magnus and Alec

and I’m stopping at 40 because I can remember that but I at least wanted to get the first part sent out

Rank top 10 TSC ships and a wee bit why they r there 🙈

1) Kit & Ty

Is this a surprise? No. Even though half of this ship consists of (really good) headcanons, I will absolutely go down with it. Both of them are fantastic as individual characters and together they have one of the purest snd most interesting dynamics ever.

2) Magnus & Alec

When I tell how many times I've read their wedding… Phew. This is probably the one fictional couple I‘m the happiest for/proudest of.

3) Clary & Jace

I absolutely hated both of them and their dynamic for most of tmi, but everything after that is absolute relationship goals. And as adults they’re definitely some of my favorite characters.

4) Tessa & Will/Jem

The only love triangle I'll ever accept, because it actually is one. The amount of love these three have for each other is beautiful.

5) Ariadne & Anna

I love the both of them so much individually and they make one hell of a couple. I just love reading about them.

6) Helen & Aline

Loved them since the beginning, definitely my comfort couple in tsc.

7) Thomas & Alistair

One of the only reasons I loved reading tlh. I need even more of them now.

8) Maya & Bat

Comfort couple nr. 2 and one I definitely need more of!!!

9) Cecily & Gabriel

Just so pure. Gabriel is the biggest dumbass ever and the way he was simping for Cecily had me weak for all of tid.

10) Mark & Kieran & Christina

When I realized that three of my favorite tda characters were in a relationship I could not stop giggling.

Omg I hope I didn't forget any totally important ones…
