this will never not be funny
Jace kisses Alec (cut from City of Glass)
So below is, the original version of the scene that begins on page 137 in City of Glass, “Jace looked at Alec steadily. “What’s between you and Magnus Bane? In the original version, Jace actually does kiss Alec, more to make a point than anything else, but the resultant scene made me laugh and made my editor laugh, hysterically. It didn’t work — made the emotional impact of Jace telling off Alec less. I warn you, it is not romantic. - Cassie
Jace looked at Alec steadily. Then he said, “What’s between you and Magnus Bane?” Alec’s head jerked to the side, as if Jace had slapped him or pushed him. “I don’t — there’s nothing —” “I know better,” Jace said, forestalling him. “I’m not stupid. Tell me the truth.” “There isn’t anything between us,” Alec said — and then, catching the look on Jace’s face, added with great reluctance, “any more. There’s nothing between us any more. Okay?” “And why is that? Magnus really liked you.” “Drop it, Jace,” Alec said in a warning tone. Jace was having none of being warned. “Magnus says it’s because you’re hung up on me. Is that true?” There was a moment of utter silence. Then Alec gave a despairing howl of horror and put his hands up to cover his face. “I am going to kill Magnus. Kill him dead.” “Don’t. He cares about you. He really does. I believe that,” Jace said, managing to sound only a little bit awkward. “Look. I don’t want to push you into anything, but do you maybe want to —” “Call Magnus? Look, that’s a dead end, I know you’re trying to be helpful, but —” “—kiss me?” Jace finished. Alec looked as if he were about to fall off his chair. “WHAT? What? What?” “Once what would do.” Jace did his best to look as if this were the sort of suggestion one made all the time. “I think it might help.” Alec looked at him with something like horror. “You don’t mean that.” “Why wouldn’t I mean it?” “Because you’re the straightest person I know. Possibly the straightest person in the universe.” “Exactly,” Jace said, and leaned forward, and kissed Alec on the mouth. The kiss lasted approximately four seconds before Alec pulled forcefully away, throwing his hands up as if to ward Jace off from coming at him again. He looked as if he were about to throw up. “By the Angel,” he said. “Don’t ever do that again.” “Oh yeah?” Jace grinned, and almost meant it. “That bad?” “Like kissing my brother,” said Alec, with a look of horror in his eyes. “I thought you might feel that way.” Jace crossed his arms over his chest. “Also, I’m hoping we can just gloss over all the irony in what you just said.” “We can gloss over whatever you want to,” Alec said fervently. “Just don’t kiss me again.” “I’m not going to. I have other business to take care of.” Jace stood up, kicking his chair back. “If anyone asks where I am, tell them I went for a walk.” “Where are you actually going?” Alec asked, watching him walk to the door. “To see Clary?” “No.” Jace shook his head. “I’m going to the Gard. I’m going to break Simon out of jail.”
Hey y’all! Myself and my friend noticed there was a big hole in the TSC fandom - namely, that there isn’t a Discord server for us all to come together and appreciate/freak out over our favourite Shadowhunters.
So we decided to fix it! Here is your official notice of the creation of The Downworld, a place for us to talk theories, go crazy over our beloved ships, worship those characters that maybe don’t get enough love fandom-wide, and of course, appreciate the absolute genius that is Cassandra Clare.
All we ask is that you be kind and respectful to each other, and agree to our server rules that’ll you see when you join. The server is also 18+ only, so unfortunately we won’t be able to allow minors to join.
If you’d be interested in joining, please feel free to reach out to me or @timesconvert and we’ll get the ball rolling - don’t be scared; unlike Jordan, we don’t bite!
The only valid ship dynamic:
Person A: HOHOHOHOHO TIME TO DO SOME DUMB SHIT
Person B: DO A FLIP!
*later, when the dumb shit went horribly, horribly wrong*
Person B: you fucking idiot, what the hell is wrong with you. That was so incredibly stupid, I cannot believe your dumbass really thought that was gonna fucking work out, I TOLD you it would go bad!
Person A: *in a full body cast* worth it
And he’s honestly so real for that, an icon even
Some of y’all: why is Alec so obsessed with Magnus in all your fics 🙄🙄
Canon Alec, so happy that Magnus agreed to go on a second date with him:
Literally anyone : Who are you?
Jace : I genuinely don't know
Dak haired people who are good with weapons are way too attractive😂😍

Soulmate AU prompt
Okay idk if this has been made already
But like when you first touch your soulmate color blooms on the skin and stays where you first touch. Y’all know that au already. But
What if it’s villain vs hero and the villain has the hero pinned down ( not skin on skin) and the hero is desperate to get free but the villain just cups their cheek and says “ poor poor hero” or something and color blooms on the hero’s cheek and the villain just freezes.
“I don’t want the world. I want you”🖤🌎
“Alexander. My beautiful Alexander”🖤
He wondered if you could be exhausted without knowing it, if hope could be lost not all at once but could slip away gradually, day by day, and vanish before you ever realized.

Tian took a breath. “Do you know what it’s like,” he said, his voice ragged, “for your love to be illegal?”
Alec threw up his hands in exasperation. “Tian. Yes!”
“Obviously yes,” put in Jace. “Big-time.”

Can you believe Alec Lightwood was only 23 when he found his soulmate after accepting he would never find love because of who he is? He always hide behind work,shotting down his feelings because he thought love would never find it's way to him? He rarely smiled. And then Magnus came and everything is changed. Alec started to open up,he started to smile more and in the first time in his life he felt...alive
The history book on the shelf. Is always repeating itself ...

Synopsis:
Being the daughter of a shadowhunter and monster hunter can be pretty stressful at times. It was especially stressful when I felt like I was holding tight to two worlds. My name is Azariah Winchester and I am a shandowhunter, but I'm also a monster hunter too. My parents are Isabelle Lightwood and Sam Winchester. My mom is one of the greatest shadowhunters in the entire shadowhunter world and my dad is her equal, but just as a monster hunter. Because of that, I come from two pretty strong bloodlines.
The Lightwood Bloodline goes back for many generations starting form the first shadowhunter named Johnathan Shadowhunter. They vowed to protect humans from all evil threats, including demons. On my dad's side, The Winchesters have a very elaborate and difficult history. My Grandmother, Mary Winchester was raised as a hunter. Whereas, my Grandfather, John Winchester was brought into it when grandma died, but my dad and my uncle found out that my grandpa was apart of this secret organization that helped hunters and were a kind of aristocratic hunters themselves. Apparently, he was apart of a secret organization called The Men of Letters. So in a way, that made my dad and uncle Men of Letters too and I guess that kind of makes me a Men- Women of Letters too? Kind of crazy, right?
I guess you're wondering how I come into all of this. Well, this is my story and it gets a bit crazy. But it's not just a story about me, but a story about how family just isn't family and how me and my parents come closer in a fight to save the world from a threat unknown. There will be love, anger and all the things you could ask for in a story. It will definitely be the ride of a life time. So, just like my uncle Dean tells me "Carry On and enjoy the ride."
