The Shadowhunter Chronicles

[shadowhunter-in-the-middle-east]

flash fiction

The July piece of flash fiction about Chain of Gold is here, this one focusing on Christopher Lightwood, Henry Fairchild, and science! (Chris isn’t wearing his glasses in the illustrated scene by Cassandra Jean because they don’t fit under the goggles!)

One of Christopher Lightwood’s earliest memories was of his mother, Cecily Lightwood, being rushed to the infirmary after a fight with a pack of Raum demons. Christopher and his older sister Anna were at the London Institute at the time, being looked after by their aunt Tessa and uncle Will while their parents were out on patrol. Tessa whisked Christopher away quickly, but not before he saw the worried look on Will’s face as he went to summon the Silent Brothers.

Later, Christopher sat by his mother’s bedside as she recovered from the Raum poison. She drifted in and out of consciousness, waking and smiling when she saw him and then falling back into sleep. Uncle Will waved his arms about a great deal, despairing that his sister was entirely too brave for her own good. Christopher’s father, Gabriel Lightwood, reminded Will that courage against all odds was what made them Shadowhunters, wasn’t it? This caused Will to splutter. But Christopher could tell that his father had been truly frightened, and was deeply relieved that Cecily was recovering. Christopher leaned against his father.

“Is hunting demons scary?” He asked.

Gabriel sighed, and drew Christopher closer. “It can be scary, but a world overrun by demons is much scarier.”

That made sense, but Christopher continued his line of questioning. “Fighting them with swords and daggers, that is scary. But what if there are other ways to fight them?”

His father looked puzzled. “Like with ranged weapons? Bows and arrows?”

Christopher couldn’t explain the ideas that were rushing through his head. He didn’t have the language for them yet. Instead he just smiled. “Not exactly,” he said. “But don’t worry. I’ll figure it out.”

When Christopher was eight, his father and his uncle Gideon shut themselves in the study and talked in loud important voices about Christopher’s aunt Tatiana, and Tatiana’s boy Jesse. Christopher understood that Jesse was a cousin who he had never met, and that Jesse was sick.

Only a short while later, they received word that Jesse had died. Christopher’s father tried to visit aunt Tatiana, but she would not see him. When Gabriel came home, Cecily put her arms around him, and he cried. Christopher was shocked, less by his father’s tears than by the fact that they’d had a cousin who they’d never been allowed to meet, and now never could meet. Thoughts kept running around in Christopher’s mind. This is all wrong. If we had met him, we might have been able to help him. To save him. But when he said this out loud to his mother, Cecily only smiled sadly. “You are a brave and daring boy,” she said. “The world needs more minds like yours, Christopher. But you cannot take on the responsibility for saving every life. That is too heavy a load for one person to bear. The Silent Brothers were with Jesse before he died, and they are the wisest among us. Surely they would have saved him if he could have been saved.”

Christopher thought, But the Silent Brothers only hold certain kinds of wisdom. What if there was a different kind that could have saved Jesse? But he held his tongue.

Then, when Christopher was ten, Anna was bitten by a demon, and the wound became infected. The whole family was frenzied with worry for a day and a night over Christopher’s older sister. …

“Just because you said dragon demons were extinct -“ "I said mostly extinct.” Alec jabbed a finger toward him. “Mostly extinct,” he said, his voice trembling with rage, “is NOT EXTINCT ENOUGH.” “I see,” said Jace. “I’ll just have them change the entry in the demonology textbook from ‘almost extinct’ to 'not extinct enough for Alec. He prefers his monsters really, really extinct.’ will that make you happy?”

— Alec Lightwood and Jace Herondale (City of Ashes)

Just a friendly reminder

that Julian Blackthorn, a demisexual sex God, wants to please Emma Carstairs (the love of his life) in bed because he loves and appreciates her and not because he wants or needs to inflame his masculine ego

[shadowhunter-in-the-middle-east]

Let’s see what Cassie has given us over the years

Sexualities 

Alexander Gideon Lightwood: A canonically gay character who has grown so much over the course of six books and has become comfortable in his sexuality. And his relationship with Magnus. 

Magnus Bane: a bisexual character who doesn’t give a shit about how people see him and loves his glitter and dresses however the fuck he wants

Anna Lightwood and Ariadne Bridgestock: lesbians 

Raphael Santiago: Asexual and Aromantic 

Lily Chen: Pansexual 

Helen and Mark: my precious bisexual babes

Aline: a lesbian character who is basically so love with her wife and wrote said wife love letters when they first started dating. 

Woolsey Scott - our precious gay werewolf 

Michael Wayland - bisexual.

Kieran - bisexual

All the fae - bisexual 

Julian Blackthorn - demisexual 

Identities 

Diana: a transgender shadowhunter who has overcome so much her life

Anna: queer gender 

Not canon yet but is very highly possible 

A poly relationship between Mark/Kieran/Cristina

Not confirmed but could very soon

Kit being bi or pan. 

Ty being gay. 

Not canon but should be (AKA I would die for this) 

Luke being demisexual 

Emma being bisexual 

Cristina being pansexual 

Interracial relationships

Between Magnus; a half dutch; half Indonesian man and Alec; a white man 

Aline; half asian and Helen; a white woman

Gwyn; a white man and Diana; a black woman

Racial Diversity 

Raphael Santiago - a Latino man who was the leader of the NY vampire clan at one point 

Lilly Chen - of Asian decent and is the current leader of the NY vampire clan 

Maia Roberts - biracial (her dad’s black and her mom’s white) and is the leader of the NY wolf pack 

Aline Penhallow - biracial (Asian and white???) 

Magnus Bane - half dutch, half Indonesian and the high warlock of Brooklyn 

Catarina Loss - is a blue warlock but when glamoured chooses to be a black woman 

Diana Wrayburn - a black woman 

James Carstairs - biracial (half Chinese and white) 

Cristina Rosales - a Latina woman 

Diego and Jaime Rosales - Latino men 

Jia Penhallow - an Asian woman and Consul 

Ariadne Bridgestock - an Indian woman if I am not mistaken 

Cordelia and Alastair Carstairs - half Persian 

ETC (because I don’t know where else to place these) 

Jocelyn and Jace are abusive survivors (Jocelyn: emotional. Jace: emotional, physical and mental)

Jonathan Morgenstern - victim of emotional, mental, physical and verbal abuse

Jocelyn also suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts 

Tiberius Blackthorn - Autistic 

Drusilla Blackthorn - fat 

Arthur Blackthorn -  Alzheimer’s I believe?

Clary Fairchild - sexually assaulted by Sebastian 

Cassie has grown so fucking much since writing City of Bones and has added so much diversity to her books, but anti’s refuse to look past their petty bullshit to see what is right in front of them. Nah they’d rather still talk about Alec’s “Biphobia” - which was never a thing.

Guys we have a fucking demisexual main character, pass it on

[shadowhunter-in-the-middle-east]

demisexuality confirmed 

Lord of Shadows page 45:

“It was times like this Julian wished he was any good at flirting. He wasn’t. He had never in his life felt a flicker of desire for any girl who wasn’t Emma, so it was something he’d never learned to do.”

Lord of Shadows page 615:

“He had never desired anyone before Emma, and never anyone since. There had been times when he was younger that had puzzled him- he was a teenager, he was supposed to be full of inchoate longings and wantings and yearnings, wasn’t he? But he never wanted anyone, never fantasized or dreamed or longed at all.”

Queen of Air and Darkness page 34:

“Emma was the only person he had ever desired, and the force of that desire sometimes stunned him.”

Queen of Air and Darkness page 580:

“It was strange to think of desire as divorved from feeling: He had never desired anyone he hadn’t already loved. Never desired anyone but Emma.”
