Christopher cleared his throat. “What Grace did was unforgivable. But we must remember she was a child when she was given this task. And she was terrified of what her mother would do if she refused.”

Crossover Masterlist

I did threaten to do this so the natural next step was to go and organize a list of crossovers! I tried to stick to main ones/ones that have been developed a bit more but I’m happy to include anything else so!! If anyone isn’t on the list but wants to be included lmk (I was sticking with people who interacted with the original post, happy to include anyone who might have missed it), if I’ve missed any specific crossovers you want included lmk, or if there are any that you want me to take off the list, lmk that too!!

STARDUST

Summary: Post-CoT. Grace is surprised to find a very overworked Christopher in the Fairchilds' lab when she comes to retrieve some Raum scales.

Words: 1330

Ship: Grace × Christopher

Warnings: None

A /N: it's very bland and ahort but I wanted to serve some fluff for the new year! This ficlet is dedicated to @darklingswhxore (see notes in the end) <3

“Kit.”

No response.

“Christopher.”

Silence.

“Christopher Lightwood!” Grace says, her voice laced with annoyance, her tone dangerously low.

Christopher finally looks up from his papers. He blinks with surprise at the figure hovering at the doorway that is Grace, crossed-armed with a stern look on her face.

"Grace?" he asks, taking his protection spectacles off. "Why have you returned so soon?"

She stares at him incredulously. The anger in her voice vanishes as she spots the black bags under Christopher's eyes. Concern takes its place.  "Soon? Christopher, I was off since yesterday."

His lavender eyes are full of wonder. He glances at his experiment, then his hands, then back at Grace. "But - not far ago, you've left to Jesse and Lucie's loft."

"Angel, Kit. How long have you been here all by yourself?" Grace demands. "No one came to check on you?"

"They all have their own affairs to tend to. Regardless, I haven't noticed how time flew by." He explains dismissively. However, he averts her fierce gaze, picking up a receptacle. "I've been consumed by work, and I'm on the verge of a breakthrough-"

Grace cuts him off. "Have you taken any rest since I left?"

Christopher stays silent. She steps forward until she is next to him near the table.

"You've been locked up in the lab for over a day, kit," she sighs and pushes back a few bright strands that escaped her hairdo.

He looks exhausted, she notes. It gratified her immensely to see Christopher do what he loves, but she wished he wouldn't be so forgetful about his own needs. Thomas and Grace often accompanied him in the lab to watch over the laboratory.  However, they also were there to remind Christopher to take care of himself when he got too immersed in his work.

"I'm on the verge of a breakthrough," he repeats. The desk is full of papers with equations, notes, and instructions all over. There's also a forgotten piece of Shepherd’s Pie. He gestures in its direction as if to prove his saying. 

She lifts a gloved hand up to guide Christopher's hand away from the receptacle. "And it could wait for later. You've been overstraining yourself."

"No, no," Christopher insists, his voice slightly raspy. His hand rests on his lap now, and his eyes fixed on Grace's grey ones. "I can handle this."

"Aren't your parents worried you wouldn't come home at night?" she tries to reason with him.

The boy shakes his head. "Matthew's old room is available to me," he tells her. "I stay here at night some of the days. They're used to it."

"You ought to rest," she chides him gently, stern but not unkind.

Christopher frowns and looks away, absorbed in his own thoughts. "I will. I must finish this first. I can't - I can't get it right. Maybe if I examine the papers once more-" 

"Kit, listen to me," when his eyes locked on hers, she goes on, "You seem thoroughly drained, I am certain a well-needed rest would be of help. Besides, A good night sleep will aid you to have a fresh point of view on your experiment," she adds the last part quickly, knowing he'd be more inclined to agree to this line of reason.

There is a long pause before Christopher speaks again.

"Alright."

He sighs in defeat, but there's no heat behind when he smiles at her. She beams in triumph. He discards his protection spectacles and lab coat on a nearby chair, and swiftly enough they are out of the laboratory and up the ground floor.

"Let me escort you out," he offers, and Grace accepts.

They walk side by side out of the Fairchild's residence. They've done it many times before, and it always gives her a fuzzy feeling inside knowing Christopher cares for her, that he finds her deserving his affection. Christopher was too good of a person for someone like Grace. That is what she always thinks. Christopher, however, keeps telling her she's good, so good that stars in the night sky are pale compared to her brightness.

When Grace looks up to the endless darkness above her, she sees no stars in the heavens.

"There are days I miss Alicante," she babbles, not knowing why she talks at all, as they walk in the pathway to the mansion's gates, "And the Blackthorn manor. It holds many bad memories of mine, and yet..." she hesitates and glances at Christopher. His eyes are tender as he looks at her, warm and appreciative. "I would look out the window and see the stars, bright and comforting. Now I see none." 

That was true. London's polluted air, combined with the perpetual light from the road lamps and the city, made it hard to see stars in the middle of London.

"Wasn't the sight from Chiswick house well enough?" Christopher inquires, regarding her former residence at the outskirts of London. He seems tired but attentive.

"Yes, but not as much as in Idris." she reaches her hand forward, letting it flow in invisible paths. Her mouth twists to a ghost of a smile. "The air is clean and fresh. The stars dance in their eternal melody. It's not much of my interest now, but back in those days, Jesse used to tell me about the stars."

At nights, Jesse used to sneak to her room and teach her about constellations or try to count all the stars they could see. He pointed at Polaris for her and told her stories of myths and legends hiding in the stars. When they strode in the gardens of the blackthorn manor, with the wind in their hair and the smell of spring, and her brother lifted her in the air to try and capture a star in her hand.

It's chilly outside, and Grace shudders slightly. Christopher notices and shrugs off his jacket before putting it on her shoulders.

"Aren't you cold?"

Christopher pushes his spectacles up his nose,  "You need it more than I do. Keep it."

Grace smiles faintly. Christopher raises his hands, like he doesn't know what to do with them, then lets them fall limp to his sides.

Grace extends her hand and interwinds their fingers together.

They reach the gates, and both halt in their place, turning to each other. Grace turns to look at Christopher. "Thank you for escorting me, Kit. Good night."

The Blackthorn carriage stands near the gates, waiting in front of the house. She let loose of his hand and takes two steps toward it before Christopher's voice stops her. 

"Grace!"

She spins around with a bewildered look on her face. "Kit?"

He closes the distance between them and wraps her in an embrace. Grace is stunned by this show of affection, so much as she almost forgets to hug Christopher back. "Perhaps we should visit Royal Observatory in Greenwich. Together," he suggests quickly, cheeks tinted pink, and not because of the cold. "We can seek for the stars your brother and yourself watched back then."

Graces drew away, just slightly, to look Christopher in the eye. "This place is close for visitors."

The grin Christopher gives her causes butterflies to flutter around in her stomach. "This law has never stopped me before."

She gasps at him, and he laughs a tired laugh, reminding her he hasn't taken a rest for over 24 hours. "Consider it my thanks for coming all way here and taking care of me." They break from the hug. "So, what do you say?"

He rubs his hand together in front of him, with a hopeful glint in his eyes. It melts Grace from the inside to see him looking at her this way.

She plants a kiss on the corner of Christopher's mouth before starting for the carriage. She doesn't turn to astonished Christopher until she's on the steps of the carriage. "Yes!"

The moon illuminates them in a soft glow, washing Christopher in silver. His eyes are sparkling with content and love, and Grace finds herself mimicking the smile tugging at her fiancé's lips.

Because even if she couldn't see the ocean of shining lights from her window anymore, she had something else to brighten her life.

Happy new year everyone!! ✨

~~~*~~~

Notes: @darklingswhxore alright this ficlet has three purposes: one, you once requested Gracetopher and I couldn't write it, so I do now.

Second, it's our late one-year anniversary since we started talking! Worth celebrating, I believe. 🥳✨

And third and most importantly I think, I wanted to write you something for the new year, for this past year with all its ups and downs wouldn't be the same without you 💕 I wish the new year will be amazing for you, full of new opportunities and all you could ask for because you deserve the WORLD. I love talking from you about whatever, seeing you work for what you love, and I can't understand how you tolerate all my rambling and fics but I'm grateful to have you In my life. SO MUCH.

So happy new year!! May this new year be wonderful for us 💜💜

[belle-keys]

yo, yall think the ghost is actually Tatiana??? like I genuinely don't think it is her, and I actually don't think it's a blackthorn at all

like they've stated several times that the ghost isn't malignant and it's just kinda fussy but benign, and I feel like Tatiana is the very definition of "evil ghost"

[vickchan2]

 "Don't you see, Will? You're a person like me. You are like me. You say the things I think but never say out loud. You read the books I read. You love the poetry I love. You make me laugh with your ridiculous songs and the way you see the truth of everything. I feel like you can look inside me and see all the places I am odd or unusual and fit your heart around them, for you are odd and unusual in just the same way." 

[ohnotoomanyfandoms]

Thoughts about Gracetopher? Do you think they'll end up together, in CoT?

Personally, I don’t ship them, but I do think they will happen. All the signs are there, and I’m not referring to the family tree.

In Chain of Iron alone, there are two separate scenes (not that they interact much more than that) that are entirely written to foreshadow their wedding:

1) when Matthew sends Kit instead of James to meet Grace in the drawing room before Jordelia's wedding, Christopher and Grace enter the chapel and basically walk down the aisle together... CASSIE YOU ARE NOT BEING SUBTLE

2) when Grace goes to see Christopher in the lab and traces a rune on his arm… that is literally half the wedding ceremony for Shadowhunters

Do I like them together? No, sorry, I don't. Do I think they will happen? Most definitely. Do I think they will be endgame? You know what, it would make sense for one of them to die: Grace could die heroically and "redeem" herself; Kit dying would break us, but one of the main probably has to die, and Kit would solve the issue of the surplus of Lightwoods. These are logical possibilities, but don't lose faith, shippers: there are high chances of both Grace and Kit surviving and getting married later on, something we would discover in the epilogue of COT.

[herondalebitchh]

a ship can’t hurt you they said... don’t be scared, they said.

the ship:

no❤️

[pretty-boy-omar]

While others seemed to understand Christopher even without a considerable effort on his part. Not very many others: Henry, certainly; and Thomas, usually; and frequently—though not always—the rest of his friends. But Grace, confoundingly, seemed to see Christopher clearly.

Talking to her had been so easy that he’d forgotten to filter everything he said, going over it to make sure it would come out right before speaking.

He wouldn’t tell anyone about her sneaking into the lab, not until he’d had more time to think about it.

Was this why James had been drawn to Grace? But James wasn’t interested in experiments and science—not the way Grace seemed to be. She’d been so eager to look through the microscope at the gunpowder compounds he’d been studying; so curious to see the contents of his journals.

But it was silly to dwell on it. Grace would likely never visit the lab again. It was too bad—many great discoveries had been made by teams working in tandem. Look at the Curies, who had just won the Nobel Prize for their experiments with radiation. Perhaps if he told her about the Curies ...

- Chain of Iron, Cassandra Clare

Guys, Christopher didn't like Grace for her beauty. He likes that he finds it easy to talk with her about his passion in science and that she takes genuine interest in it. He likes that she seems to understand him and how she might be willing to have an experiment with him if he ask her to. For someone like Grace who uses her beauty and power to be loved, do you know how important it is to be truly liked for your thoughts and personality, for who you really are? And this is not just some person, this is a man whom she refused to use her power with because she sees how he's so open, kind, and harmless. Grace deserves to feel genuinely loved and Christopher needs someone who takes genuine interest in his passion. I'm so excited for the blossoming relationship between these two. Does the fandom have a ship name for them already?

[vickchan2]

*whispers* AND I bet my money Cameron Ashdown, our handsome ginger, is a direct descendant of one of Charlotte and Henry daughters

So I have this theory that I’ve had since before COI and I wanted to see what people think of it. I remember in a old ask that Cassie said that Charlotte and Henry had 2 girls and Matthew and Charles but everyone assumed she just decided not to go with that. Theirs also the line in clockwork princess epilogue that the Fairchild Daughters were at wills deathbed. Is it possible we find out in CoT that Lottie is pregnant with twin daughters?

I REALLY HOPE SO! I’ve been hanging on to the hope that they have twin daughters since before Chog came out. I really really want Charlotte to be pregnant, I was waiting for it to be announced in COI. Trust me, I’m dying for Charlotte to be pregnant, as you can clearly see by this annotation I made on my Kindle while reading COI:

Maybe this is the reason Charlotte resigns as Consul?? Idk, all I know is that I’m still hoping Cassie is going to keep that part in the series
