#bad music in shadowhunters

[wikitpowers]

[WARNING! TLKOF CHAPTER SPOILERS AHEAD] 🚨

okay we all know ash was hardcore simping for dru but what about dru just outright being mesmerised by everything ash does??????

"no human was that beautiful" EXCUSE ME??? WHIPPED MUCH???? LIKE?????

she said “hmm his mouth looks super soft i kinda (really) wanna kiss him right now wow so strange”

something about her saying his name had me feeling some typa way like they’re soulmates please

and then as soon as he touches her, she drops her torch, like she’s a loser with a capital L :’)

i absolutely adore that ash’s eyes are green like he must look so beautiful and the resemblance to what sebastian’s could’ve looked like without demon blood is just so :( and dru clearly loves the colour! when she was being sent away she was like “ooooo! eyes! so green! wowzie! 😯” and i don’t blame her + when she said his touch was warm i just about died

conclusion -> morgenthorn are in love, they just don’t know it yet (and im their biggest fan) <3

Male is such a Hozier couple

Preaching to the choir nonny 🤣

(I have four different Hozier songs on four different Malec/Shadowhunters playlists tbqh, I have a problem. I will continue to have a problem and be glad of it.)

[straykats]

lowkey hate the concept of a 'good' book or a 'good' movie or a 'good' song or whatever because preference is so so personalised and subjective. and when i say i hate the concept of smth being 'good' i mean more that i hate the concept of something being 'bad'. saying something sucks or is bad, to me, is the same as invalidating another person's joys and that really sucks.

Shadowhunter Promptlet: The Piano

A young Alec, overwhelmed by everything Maryse and Robert have dropped himself into his lap, runs away from the Institute- just for a few hours- to see what it would be like to be a mundane child. To see what it would be like to live with no responsibility, without parents who leave their bruises on his skin.

Somehow, Alec accidentally finds himself in a piano lesson with a bunch of other children and he discovers music.

Having learned the basics, Alec knows better than to ever reveal it to anyone at the Institute. But, over the years, he sneaks away a few careful hours at a time. He finds public pianos in the parks or he slips into unlocked middle schools, or, later, unlocked high schools or colleges, blending in and sneaking into their practice rooms to bring the music in his head to life.

Alec never tells anyone, not even Jace, about his escape. Jace has always been different and just because it's okay for him to play music, doesn't mean it's okay for Alec.

One day, Magnus and Alec are visiting one of Magnus' warlock friends and Alec, with permission, goes to explore a few nearby rooms while Magnus and his friend catch up. He doesn't dare even sit down on the bench when he finds the piano, but he knows that this room is too far for them to hear, so he plays.

Magnus walks in without Alec noticing at first, but when Alec catches movement out of the corner of his eye and turns, he's frozen.

[Teenage HOTI-Alec with his mundane accidental-piano-friends below the cut]

Imagine a fifteen-year old Alexander Lightwood, overwhelmed from his recent installation as Acting Head, sneaking into the local high school band room to practice on their piano. Imagine Alec meeting this group of kids who basically adopt him and keep claiming him as their brother/visiting cousin/best friend from another high school whenever anyone else pops into the practice room and asks who this random kid is who definitely doesn't go here.

The tattoos and leather jacket make Alec incredibly popular with the teen girls going after the bad boy and Ryan, Haley, and Alison find Alec's total and utter obliviousness to them absolutely hilarious.

But, the little trio also sees his constant injuries and how exhausted he is all the time and one day Haley kind of snaps and pulls a fuzzy blanket out of her backpack and demands Alec take a nap while she practices Braham's lullaby.

(Alec acquiesces and the trio subtly collates a list of the songs that Alec will sleep through while they play. A few times here and there Alec will creep into the practice room, shadows both in and under his eyes, and he won't even try to put fingers to piano- just tentatively pulls out the blanket from Haley's backpack that is now undeniably his and curls up in the corner to sleep fitfully while Ryan guards the door.)

They see how lonely he looks sometimes, how burdened, and the trio drags him out for milkshakes and tell horrible jokes until Alec truly laughs - looking honestly surprised that that sound even came out of his mouth.

And Ryan doesn't make a big deal of it, but he sees how Alec keeps stroking his Haley's blanket between his fingers, enjoying the softness. The next day, Ryan starts keeping a large black hoodie he found made out of the softest material he's ever felt in his tuba case, waiting for the next time they walk into what has become their practice room after school to find Alec lurking in the corner.

(Ten years later, Alec still wears that sweater whenever he needs some extra comfort.)

The night after the wedding-that-wasn't and before Malec's first date, Alec climbs up the fire escape to the 34th floor of and apartment building in Queens and knocks on Haley's window. He then proceeds to have a Gay Panic on her and Alison's couch before they calm him down and convince him to go woo his man.

A year after that, Alec is a groomsman at Ryan’s wedding and Ryan is suddenly stuck trying to explain to his wife why they have a lovely package of custom daggers as a wedding present.

A few months after Magnus finds Alec hardly daring to touch his friend's piano, Haley, Ryan, and Alison are invited to the loft for dinner. Magnus can barely contain the joy and love in his heart as Alec and the trio recount the stories of their meeting and the blatant shenanigans they got up to over the years. Yet, Magnus' heart is somehow even more full as he watches the four friends troop over to the newly installed piano in Alec and Magnus' living room, trading off playing each other's favorite songs until long into the night.

My Original Character in Diabolik Lovers//💋🤍🕊️

TW// mentions of not having enough food or rest.

🩸Name: Bella Wayland

🥀Race: Nephilm: Half angel, Half human.

🕊️Age:19

🌬️Appearance: Bella has super long, curly black hair. She's always super pale and thin because she doesn't have time to eat. She wears a black dress, fit for battle and is always carrying knifes and daggers on her that are marked with runes to help her kill demons. She's tall, 5'9, which makes her intimidating. She has golden eyes, that shine in the light. Strong Italian accent, and speaks Italian and English.

🖤Personality: Calm, Intelligent, Powerful, Cocky, Flirty, Focused, and Caring all at once. She really is good at matching other people's energy. She's an ambivert. She's very closed off around people and doesn't trust easily.

🤍What she calls the diaboys: Shu-Golden Boy/Shoe, Reiji-Four Eyes/Smartie, Ayato-Christmas Eve, Kanato-Puppeteer/Kid, Laito-Christmas, Subaru-Car/Emo

🌹About/Backround: Bella was raised in the beautiful city of Idris until the Circle attacked the Nephilms leaders, The Clave. Her parents died in the battle and she was taken in by a man, who started her harsh training her when she was only two years old. However, her father was a bad man, he was the Leader of The Circle, Valentine Morganstern. She changed her last name to Wayland to separate herself from him.

-Bella and John, her mentor, moved to Milan. She lives in the Milan Institute for Shadowhunters when she is not battling demons. She is one of the strongest Shadowhunters to exist, due to the fact that she has extra angel blood.

-Due to this, she is severely overworked by The Clave. She is used to only getting a meal a week and not getting a lot of sleep. She doesn't know what a lot of things for leisure are, like movies and TV shows. But she knows music because she has had to go to an opera undercover more than once.

-She's been fighting almost all her life. She's very hardcore and doesn't really even know the definition of the word "relax".

-Because she has strong angel blood, her blood is some of the best tasting on Earth. It can also give vampires special abilities, like being able to use runes. It can also enhance the abilities they already have. That's why she is weary of vampires. She doesn't want them to drink her blood and go power-crazy.

-Men fall for her left and right because of her mysterious ways. She's used to having to deal with simps.

💌How she met The Sakamaki Brothers.

-Bella was on a mission in Japan, trying to kill a wanted demon, when she stumbled onto their property accidentally. She ran into Kanato, who smelt her blood quickly and knew just what she was.

"Ah, Teddy? Do you smell how sweet her blood is? I'm quite tempted to take a bite... But then I would ruin her porcelain skin... Fufu... What a shame, I might just have to drain you first, then make you into my new doll."

-It was then that Bella realized he was a vampire. Bella fought Kanato off well until Subaru walked out of his rose garden to see what all the yelling was about.

"Tch, found a new prey, haven't you Kanato-kun? She looks like a Nephilim... She better taste good."

-Bella was malnourished at the time. She may have been strong enough to fight Kanato, but Subaru knocked her out in 30 seconds flat. They dragged her inside and brought her to the living room. Shu, who was lying on the couch as always, opened one eye and glanced at her and the other two men. He seemed almost shocked by how pretty she was. He closed his eyes again.

"As long as she's not noisy, but Reiji might take an interest in her, he's always wanted to experiment on a Shadowhunter before."

-Then, Ayato and Laito walked in, probably on their way back from Yui's room. Laito looked at the passed-out woman in Subaru's arms.

"Fufu, she's quite pretty Subaru-kun~ I might just steal her from you~ Her blood smells delicious."

-Subaru blushed and studdered out his tsundere response. and set her down in the other armchair. Ayato looked at her closely, smirking.

"Tch, she isn't flat like Chichinashi, that's for sure. She's at least a C."

-Reiji walked out of the shadows, looking annoyed because of another unannounced guest, but he perked up when he realized she was of angel blood.

"Although she is trespassing, I suppose we can keep her, but she will be on thin ice."

Bella soon learns that these are The Sakamaki Brothers. When she does, she knows better than to run for it quickly. She's buying her time, when she sees the right moment, she will escape.

She makes friends with Yui, who becomes like a little sister to her, she always directs the boys away from her when she can. However, she may start falling for the six vampires in the process, and they might start falling for her.

shadowhunter chronicles characters and whether i think they would be swifties, a post: (obviously i am excluding all characters who are from the past and died before taylor swift even existed because frankly i don't care to debate whether mattew fairchild would be a swiftie. he's dead <3 peace and love)

clary- not at all. she listens to freak weirdo music. also she stopped keeping tabs on pop culture in 2008 so what would she even know about taylor swift unless one of her shadowhunter friends makes her listen to her. i think it's possible that in like 2014 she heard a 1989 song and loved it but didn't find out it was taylor swift until 6 months later when simon had to inform her

simon- again, weirdo freak music. he'd be the guy who only starts liking her because of folklore but unfortunately cassanda's timeline only goes to like, 2013 rn and will only go to 2015 for twp so. we'll never see that. i think he has nothing against her music because he is a Music Appreciator but he is probably a huge asshole about her as a person becuase he has a haters soul <3

jace- well i don't think jace listens to modern music <3 however i think in his post 2008 life he has more appreciation for human world art and he would eventually come across a vinyl of red or something (he's totally the type of annoying to have a record player do not dispute me on this) and i think from there he would like her, this is how clary is introduced to her music btw

alec- i literally don't think alec listens to music. other people listen to music around him, and he does NOT have a haters soul so he is NOT an asshole about any of said music.

izzy- yeah <3 and i think her and simon have had fights about it <3 it's not that deep to her though she only fights with him about taylor swift for fun and then they have crazy sex

magnus- well yeah. of course. he would love how swifties behave like a cult he would think that's soooo funny... he would love the glamour he would love her showmanship he would go to all her tours and have the time of his life. duh.

emma- yeah why not... she's a girls girl and she has an obsession with being just like jace. she is listening to taylor swift...

jules- he is listening to taylor swift with his beautiful girlfriend...

dru- dru is crucially a weirdo freak emo girl, i just know that when she puts on music it is an assult on the ears and no one likes it and ty wants to kill her about it. and also at the same time emma is functionally her big sister she looks up to and therefore she must appreciate taylor on emma's behalf

cristina- no because she's not american she doesn't have to give a shit about taylor swift

mark- if you asked mark blackthorn what his favorite song was he'd say some bullshit like "the sound of the river flowing at sunrise when the birds are chirping" so. like yeah he'd mostly be saying that just to fuck with you but goddamn that is annoying. anyway

helen- she's a gaylor. to ME

aline- the wife of a gaylor. but she thinks shake it off is the most annoying fucking song she has ever heard in her life <3

livvy- much like dru, she has to defer to emma with this, so yes she likes taylor swift, however i know in my heart of hearts that livvy is a pop music girlie and the fact that taylor was mostly country pre-livvy dying would piss her off soooo bad. she'd have to find put about 1989 from kit it would be a whole thing she'd make ty play it for her because she's a ghost who only has two friends it's terrible...

ty- it's complex. no. but also yes. but also crucially no. but yes. don't worry about it.

tessa- tessa would love ipods i know she does... girl from the victorian era living to the invention of the ipod touch.... dude. do i think she's listening to taylor on her ipod? maybe a little. but i think magnus probably made her a playlist of all the greatest songs from the last several decades that she missed while in the spiral labyrinth and she is just trying to catch up in her free time... obviously all too well is on that playlist though.

jem- man i just think he's thrilled to be alive. i think that guy likes everything, especially if tessa likes it. guy who is constantly overcome with the beauty of life fr

kit- i think he would make fun of jace for liking red so much and then he'd go home and listen to it and cry. he pretends to have the haters soul for clout but he doesn't and he never will and it makes him look fucking pathetic <3

[onetimetwotimesthreetimess]

magnus culmination of bad decision making came when he watching alec grinding against some dude in a club (i cant crack anymore)

Part I

Part II

Part IV

The second he steps inside the club, he is surrounded by a dozen of bodies around him—touching and grinding from every direction.

There’s not a single part of his body that isn’t being touched by someone right now and Magnus from a year ago would’ve thrives under this, but this Magnus, this version of him abso-fucking-lately hates it.

On any other day, Magnus loves being appreciated and gazed by the world but not right now. Not since that night.

Not since Alec Lightwood.

Because there’s only one person Magnus wants to be touched and appreciated and loved by.

But he knows he’s been fucking up constantly for reasons which are beyond his own understanding, so in order to feel even a minuscule percentage better, he comes to the club that Catarina has been asking him to.

So he’s here.

Magnus tries to lose himself in the music, the debauchery, pushes his heart inside a box and wants to let his body feel something when his eyes land onto something and he freezes.

His eyes widen as he notices the scene in the middle of the club.

It sets fire inside his chest and a pain so insurmountable that it shakes his core.

Magnus powers through his pain and sadness but this is something unexpected because never in his years he’s ever thought that he’d ever have to witness Alec with someone else.

And it’s not just Alec standing or holding hands with someone, albeit he knows that watching Alec hold hands with someone is going to hurt more but this is excruciatingly horrible too.

Watching Alec’s arms wrapped around someone else, his head tilted sideways as the green-haired seelie kisses his neck, hand wounded in Alec’s unruly hair.

Magnus blinks a few times to check if he’s really witnessing this or if it’s his messed up brain conjuring something so evil but when he opens his eyes, Alec is still there, his hand inside the back of the seelie’s shirt.

Alec throws his head back and chuckles, but Magnus knows that it’s not his real laugh.

He’s seen when Alec laughs and making Alec Lightwood laugh feels better than whatever shadowhunters imagine must feel in the presence of Raziel.

Raziel’s powers have got nothing on Alec Lightwood’s smile.

So he knows it’s not a real laugh but that doesn’t matter when someone else has got their hands inside Alec’s pants because suddenly everything hurts so fucking much—and Magnus can’t do anything about it.

Anything logical that is.

He knows about Alec’s string of one night stands but the shadowhunter has never been cruel and throwing that in his face, has always find men that Magnus doesn’t know, at places that Magnus doesn’t go to. He has never tried to intentionally hurt Magnus.

Which makes what he’s going to do next worse.

Magnus snaps his fingers and within the span of five seconds, the seelie starts sweating profusely, his entire body itching and he witnesses and feels a sense of relief.

And so much self loathing for his actions.

It takes another thirty seconds before the Seelie separates himself from Alec and creates sone distance. The green haired man says something that Magnus can’t quite put but then the man starts walking towards the bar.

“Hello,” Magnus says warmly as he hovers over the guy behind the counter.

The man frowns before turning and then his eyes widen. “You’re Magnus Bane?”

“I am.”

“Is there something you want?”

Magnus’s smile widens, “Yes. I would like you to leave the club right this second. And never see that man again.”

The seelie turns and realises he’s talking about Alec and then gets a defiant look.

“Why?”

He knows it won’t be easy. Seelies are a tough crowd.

But this one seems young and inexperienced so Magnus snaps his finger and they’re almost dark blue.

His voice is chilled and deep with the next words. “Because I said so. You would do well with not refusing the Son of Asmodeus,” and the words leave an ugly taste in his mouth.

The seelie blinks before a wicked smile is on his face.

“So that’s the shadowhunter.”

“The shadowhunter?”

“The shadowhunter. The one who has Magnus Bane on his knees,” he adds. “I get it. He would have me on my knees in another five minutes too.”

The words sends a spike of anger and his magic turn almost black and he rages, “Leave.”

The Seelie puts up his hand in mock surrender.

“I will leave. I just need to say goodbye to him once. Or do you want me to leave him without a word?”

Magnus wants to say yes but he can’t be this cruel to Alec, doesn’t want him to feel more used and terrible lets the man walk back to Alec and watches their conversation from afar.

He sees confusion on his place before understanding dawns and Alec nods.

“You’re an asshole, you know that?” Magnus turns to find Catarina with a disappointed face.

He sighs and looks down. “I know.”

“Will you stop with this idiocy?”

I wish I could.

“He will find out someday, Magnus. And there would be no damage control after that.”

Cat berates him for another few minutes and then Magnus hears a glass break behind him, he turned to see what it was but there seems to be no one in particular except a hundred unfamiliar body and he frowns.

“What?”

“Nothing. I thought there was someone.”

✨ Intro Post ✨

Hi everyone! I'm Andra Edevane, but you can call me Andrevane or Andy if you want. My pronouns are she/her. I'm pansexual. I don't care if a person is female, male or non-binary. As long as they can make me feel loved, their gender it's a secondary thing. I'm an adult, that's all you need to know about my age. So please, minors, don't talk to me in DMs. You can send me asks and interact with my posts, but that's all. I'm also open to roleplay if you want to! But again, not minors. And feel free to send me ask/DMs me for anything!

【 About me 】

🌸My mutuals: @mustangdemon @shoon200218-blog @generalallxsanjishipper @destroya2005 @fancychaostraveller @zearay @rexnanorum @salsalada @inkfowl @arrhythmicdesires

🌸 Bilingual. I speak English and Spanish.

🌸 Writer (I finally have an AO3 aacount! :D. The username is the same as here btw)

🌸 Artist (I draw sometimes, but I don't know if it's good or bad)

🌸 Music: I like all type of music genders, except reggaeton and trap. My favourite music gender is definitely BSO music. And symphonic metal. Symphonic metal it's... so beautiful for me.

🌸 Hobbies: Write, draw, read, listen to music, watch TV shows and movies.

🌸 Favourite season: Winter.

🌸 Favourite singer/group: Hidden Citizens

🌸 Favourite songs: Breathe ❣ Fleurie | Umbrella ❣ J2 | This Is Our War ❣ Halocene | Silent Night ❣ Dreamcatcher | Zero Eclipse ❣ Hiroyuki Sawano | To Feel Alive ❣ Tiff Randol | La Vida es Una ❣ Karol G | Here To Stay ❣ Sofia Coll | Mystery of the Invisible ❣ Veridia | All About Us ❣ t.A.T.u | Invisible ❣ Zara Larsson

🌸 Fics I like: Mostly hurt/comfort, because why not? Is there something more beautiful than a person who comforts another person when they need a shoulder to cry on? Crack fics too, because we need to laugh more in this life and be more happy. Villain redemption, because I believe in the innate goodness in people and I think that's what would make a better world. So you can recommend me hurt/comfort, crack, or villain redemption fics if you want.

🌸Fics I don't like: Rape/Non-con fics because I don't feel comfortable with those kind of things. Fics with toxic relationships because what I want in a fic is a happy ending for all the characters, and if there's a toxic relationship that's definitely not a happy ending to me. And I don't like fics with gore neither. So fics with toxic relationships, rape/non-con, or/and gore are a no-no for me.

Yes, I rarely ship the canon couples. Why? Don't ask me that, I don't know why. I just can't avoid shipping non-canon couples. Maybe it's because all of the canon ships seem like the same to me and I'm tired of that. Or maybe it's because non-canon ships are more interesting to me and they could have an interesting story. Anyways, If you ship canon couples it's okay, but that's not for me.

【 DNI 】

♦️ LGBT+ phobes. I don't care if you are Homophobic, Biphobic, Acephobic or whatever you are, if you can't respect people for their sexual orientation, don't talk to me.

♦️ Transphobes. Everyone deserves to live a happy life. And if someone isn't living a happy life because society asigned them a wrong gender, they have the right to be their true self. If you don't support or accept that, block me or don't talk to me.

♦️ Xenophobes. Hating someone for not being of your country is dumb and it's wrong. So if you are like that, again, don't talk to me.

♦️ Racists. We're all humans, no matter the race. And if you can't respect people for being of another race, don't interact, thanks.

♦️ Sexists. Whether you are a misogynist or a misandrist, if you can't accept that no matter the gender we are all worthy of living in this world, don't talk to me.

♦️ Ableists. Despise or hate persons just for having a disability (If that term upsets some of you tell me) is something horrible and you shouldn't do that. So if you are an ableist, don't interact.

♦️ Radfems/TERF. You can support an ideology, but only as long as you aren't radical. So radfems, don't interact. And if you are a feminist that excludes trans-woman, don't do it neither.

♦️ Fascists. If you are antidemocratic, ultranationalist, right-wing or right-wing extremist, stay away from my blog. I don't want those people talking to me.

♦️ If you support censorship.

♦️ Zionists.

♦️ Islamophobes. If you hate a person just for being muslim, don't interact. Like I said before, I'm a respectful person and I only want to talk to respectful people who support human rights.

♦️ Killers, rapists, pedophiles, MAPs. I don't have to say why I don't want those people intecting, right?

【 Moral of this intro post 】

If you can't be able to admit that we're all humans and we're all worthy of live, and live without being harrassed or abused for our race, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, or another reason, block me.

If you are the opposite, if you are good and kind, if you are respectful, you support LGBT+, and you believe in the equality of all humans, no matter race, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, or other things, you are totally welcome!

I think that's all! So byeee!,

A little idea that has been in my head for a while now. It was originally supposed to be only a few lines, but we have this instead. My bad. I hope you enjoy!

TW: Semi-graphic panic attacks and mentions of blood

Kit couldn't sleep for months after Mina was kidnapped. Every time he shut his eyes, images of his baby sister - bleeding, dying, too late for him to save - flashed through his mind, the screams that rose to his throat silenced before they could ever be heard, and every time Jem or Tessa asked him about the increasingly tired look on his face, he insisted he was fine. The daylight and his family chased away the demons night brought, and they already had too much to worry about. The few hours of fitful rest he did get were enough to last him through the day, so what was the point? Over a decade with Johnny Rook as a housemate left him a good liar, and he was able to blame his lethargy on school work and excessive Shadowhunter training. And this worked. For a while, at least.

It was Jem who found him one night, laying on the hardwood floor of Mina's room, panicked breaths leaving his mouth and hands clamped tight over his forearms, the grip hard enough that Kit felt his own fingernails dig into his skin. The air mattress his parents had bought him when he'd first resorted to sleeping in Mina's room had been thrown against the wall. At once his dad was there, speaking to Kit in soothing tones, reassuring him there was nothing really wrong. Kit clung to that voice the same way a drowning man clung to his lifejacket, but he could still feel himself going under, deep enough even sunlight couldn't reach. He didn't remember what his nightmare had been about, only that his sister had been there. His sister and Ty Blackthorn. . .

Pushing the thought from his mind, Kit focused on Jem, and once his adopted father was sure Kit was okay, they both peered into Mina's crib. The toddler was still asleep, a small smile etched across her face as she dreamed about things only children could see. Somewhere in the back of his mind, Kit knew he himself was still technically a child, but it had been a long time since he felt that way. Being the First Heir and a Shadowhunter, being a Herondale and a crook's bloodborne son, trying his best to be enough, yet feeling like he wasn't anywhere close. . . it was all too much at times.

Without words, Jem seemed to understand this. He left the room and, for a brief moment, Kit wondered if he had finally had enough. Perhaps Jem had decided he didn't want a 17-year-old problem child who got night terrors as a son after all and was informing Tessa of the news. But Jem came back, as he always did, and this time he wasn't empty-handed. Kit recognized the instrument in his hands immediately: A violin. Jem's violin. Kit had seen and heard him play it enough times that he was positive he could recognize it blind. But instead of sliding his bow across the strings and releasing a melodious tune as he always did, Jem handed the violin to Kit, tucking the rounded half under his chin and arranging Kit's fingers so they were clasping the bow.

"Play," Jem instructed him.

The rest of the night disappeared in a whirlwind of missed notes and patient teaching, but by the end - hours after they had decided to move from Mina's room to the courtyard so as not to disturb anyone - Kit understood why Jem found such solace in his instrument. It was a medium for Kit to transmit all of his raging thoughts and disgruntled feelings into, an anchor holding him steady when it felt like the tides would drag him out to sea.

It took two days for Kit to learn he could use the violin whenever he needed it (which was every night, if he was being honest) and two weeks for him to buy his own (a small thing made of rosewood, chosen in part to honor his mother and in part because of the low price). As the twilight music sessions bled into broad daylight (no longer, for the most part, because of Kit's running nerves and instead a passion for playing) Tessa joked she wasn't sure what she wanted a break from more: Mina's loud temper tantrums or the supposed banshee wails Kit's instrument produced. They had all laughed at that, even Mina, who, despite not understanding the joke, was happy just because everyone else was.

It was then a feeling of contentment and joy so fierce it burned warmed the inside of Kit's chest. This was his family; this was his home; this was where he belonged. And fuck the world if it thought it could take this away from him.

----------------

The New York Institute was a beast dressed down in bright colors to look fancy. Streamers and balloons and flowers touched every inch of the building, and the tables were decorated with golden clothes and porcelain vases filled with plants. The wedding was set to take place in four days, but it may as well have been that night with how perfectly everything was already in place.

When Jace and Clary had visited Kit and his family in Devon several months ago with news of their recent engagement and an invitation to their wedding, it had felt like a far-off dream. An unreality Kit always knew would happen but couldn't quite fathom. He had been surprised by the overwhelming jubilance he had felt for his cousin - Jace had wanted this for so long, he knew, and all of his dreams were finally coming to fruition.

Right before the pair had left, Jace had said quietly to Kit the Blackthorns would also be present at the wedding, a quiet question in his words. Swallowing the thought of what might happen if he saw Ty again, Kit shrugged and said he hadn't thought otherwise. Emma was close to Clary, after all, and where she went Julian and the rest of the Blackthorns would surely follow. He got along fine with Dru, having been texting her on and off for months, and the same could be said about Julian and Emma. In fact, if Ty was taken out of the equation, the Blackthorns wouldn't be a problem at all, but it was Ty who made them an issue in the first place.

Kit still remembered seeing him in Blackthorn Hall, right before Mother Hawthorn had taken Mina, his tan collared shirt snug against the lines of muscle around his arms, the flashing silver eyes wide with shock and tinged with sadness. His hushed voice when he had whispered, "That's not how you clean a gun."

Sometimes, it felt like the only thing Kit could think about was Ty. It drove him crazy how, even years after he had left Los Angeles, there was one ghost from his past he could never escape. Two, technically, if you count Livvy. Every moment he had ever shared with that boy was burned into his mind, so clear it was like they had just happened. Kit remembered the metallic glow of the knife Ty had held to his throat when they had first met, the way he had thought, "How beautiful"; he remembered the smile it felt like Ty reserved for him especially, the one that was like a sunrise reflecting off the water; he remembered the tortured look on Ty's face when he had tried to raise Livvy, the confusion when Kit had confessed, "I love you, Ty. I love you."

And now the chance of seeing the boy who broke his heart was greater than ever. They would be sharing a building for a few weeks, because the Blackthorns and Carstaies-Gray-Herondales would be staying in the Institute for some time after the wedding was over and most of the other guests had left, but Kit was certain he could avoid the Blackthorns for most of that time. Whether it be chatting with Simon about mundane movies and shows, or getting Jace to teach him something new about being a Shadowhunter, or hanging out with Mina, there were plenty of plausibe distractions for Kit. But even with this in mind, he knew he would have to speak with Ty at least once before this was all over. He wasn't sure why, but it was as true a fact as death.

As for right now, all Kit needed to do was figure out how to straighten his damnable tie. Deciding fashion could wait for tomorrow, he found his violin in its black case and tucked it neatly underneath the crook of his arm. Locating a flight of stairs, Kit took the steps two at a time until he was greeted with a heavy metal door with a "Roof access for Shadowhunter personnel only" sign plastered on it. The door was locked, but it took Kit a matter of seconds to fix that problem, and he swung it open, stepping onto the roof of the New York Institute.

The wind was calmer than it had been the morning before, and it was dark, the few stars that were visible alarmingly bright next to the full moon. Kit took his violin from the case, and muscle memory took care of the rest. Slotting it underneath his chin, his fingers danced on the familiar wood of the bow as it slid neatly across the strings, wrenching out a tune both mournful and soothing, a blissful series of notes piercing through the night air.

The sound of feet thumping softly against the ground brought Kit back to reality, and, glancing down, he realized there was what seemed to be a lynx sitting patiently at his feet. She had black ears that ended in soft tufts, and white-gray fur spotted with slightly darker spots. Belatedly, he realized she must belong to one of the families Jace had invited. That or his cousin had bought an overgrown cat without telling anyone.

"Hey there, you," Kit murmured softly, bending down so he was almost eye-level to the lynx. "The door was open, wasn't it? That's my bad. I hope you don't get too cold out here. But, then again, if I've learned anything from Church it's that cats are stubborn little demonic bastards. I'm sure you're doing just fine."

He offered his hand tentatively, letting it hover just above the lynx's head so she could turn away if necessary. But the lynx just nuzzled her face into his skin, whiskers scratching gently against his skin.

"What's your name, little lady?" he asked quietly, despite knowing she had no way of responding.

"Irene," a smooth, honey-like voice said.

Kit startled, hand halting above the lynx's - Irene's - head. He hadn't heard anyone coming. Glancing up, his mind immediately flared to life, painting a hundred pictures of a boy with dazzling silver eyes and curling hair, a boy with a spectacular mind and a smile like the sun.

Because standing right above him was Ty Blackthorn.

----------------

Ty didn't understand when Irene suddenly started clawing at the door of their guest room. Studies showed that when animals expressed a will to escape their current enclosure, it was often because of they were discontent with their surroundings. He was all too aware of being unresponsive to change, but he hadn't thought Irene would be the same way.

There were a lot of things, though, in the New York Institute Irene could be uncomfortable with. The jarring journey from the Scholomance to the Los Angeles Institute to here for Jace's wedding couldn't have been easy for Irene, he supposed, so he opened the door and kept a keen eye on his lynx.

Almost immediately, Irene bolted out of the room, Ty's Shadowhunter training being the only thing that allowed him to keep up with her as she scampered up a flight of stairs, quickly reaching an open door that led to the wide plain of the Institute's roof.

It didn't take long for Ty to register what had attracted Irene here: It was the music. For there was a boy, elegantly postured with moonlight turning his light blonde hair white, playing a violin, long fingers releasing a sound so beautiful it made Ty's heart turn. It was hopelessly depressing, in a way, like the din someone mourning their lost love would give. But at the same time it was steady and safe, an iron wall guiding your backside.

Ty had never been good with feelings, and this case was no exception, but he was at once struck with the sense he had never experienced something like this, and he didn't want it to abandon him ever. He was familiar with music, with the classical tunes his headphones emitted when he placed them over his ears, but he had never heard something that gave him this overwhelming sense of belonging.

Irene trotted over to the musician, completely comfortable with this perfect stranger. The boy stopped playing, making Ty's gut clench with a sense of disappointment, and spotted her, crouching down so that he could pet Irene.

In the next moment, two thoughts bled through Ty's head. One: Irene, who didn't even let Anush touch her and despised everyone who wasn't Ty, was letting someone neither of them knew run his hands along the silken coat of her back fur. Two: That his first thought was wrong, because Ty did know this man, had seem him enough times in his dreams it was a wonder he didn't recognize him immediately. Because this was Kit Herondale.

He looked gorgeous, Ty thought, and happy in a way he had never seen before. There was a small smile etched across Kit's face as he petted Irene, and it made him look so vulnerable and like something worth protecting that Ty wanted to hug him, the same way Kit had hugged him on the roof of the Los Angeles Institute so many years ago. But Kit's words from when they had both been in Blackthorn Hall still rang in Ty's ears, when he had asked Kit when the other boy would forgive him, and Kit said he didn't know.

It would be for the best if Ty turned away now, gone before Kit even noticed him. Irene would be safe, judging by the protective way Kit was holding her, and it would stop the pain of hearing Kit turn him away once more before it even began. But Ty couldn't walk away, not when Kit was involved.

Gliding soundlessly across the floor of the roof, Ty reached Kit just in time to hear him say in a barely audible voice, "What's your name, little lady?"

Kit's voice was deeper than it had been months ago, rich and full of curious affection. Unable to stop himself, Ty answered his question: "Irene."

If it hadn't been obvious before, it was now clear Kit had no idea Ty had been standing there, for he jolted back a step and glanced up wildly, going perfectly still when his eyes landed on Ty's.

Ty let his gaze drop immediately - those eyes, such an intense blue like a stove fire, permanently burned into his memory - and it landed instead on the small mole on Kit's cheekbone.

"Irene," Kit whispered, then quoted the first words of Doyle Ty had ever read: "To Sherlock Holmes, she is always the woman."

Shocked, Ty lifted his view of Kit's face slightly, realizing Ty's own look of astonishment was mirrored there. Almost as if against his will, the corners of Kit's lips were twitching upwards into a bare smile. He had never thought Kit read the Sherlock Holmes novels. More importantly, he had never thought Kit would memorize such a trivial line as that first one. But Kit had, and Kit remembered.

Maybe it meant nothing, but maybe it meant more than that. Maybe there was a chance, after all, of mending a friendship that had fallen apart years ago. Maybe by the end of this week, the boy Ty had been chasing after for months, always just out of his reach, would be a little closer. Could be his again.

Meanwhile Irene lay there confused, wondering how there were two people crowding around her and not a single one was giving her well-deserved headpats.

☼ ☽ ☆ ⁑ ☼ ☽ ☆ ⁑ ☼ ☽ ☆ ⁑ ☼ ☽ ☆ ⁑ ☼ ☽ ☆ ⁑

1; I’ll Fight - Daughtry

Alec didn’t know when it had started, by the time he realized what was happening, it was way too late to stop. It was in the middle of a mission, and he’d gotten separated from Jace, and he suddenly felt a pain through his shoulder. A scream escaped him as he nearly collapsed, gasping for air briefly before he fought his way back up and began to look. “Jace!” he half-screamed, moving quickly despite the pain in his shoulder. He didn’t know what was wrong, but he knew his parabatai; the person he loved, was hurt really bad. He turned a corner sharply, finding Jace leaning against a wall, blood soaking through the leather of the blonde’s jacket. “Jace!” he ran over, tossing his bow over his shoulder and kneeling beside where Jace was sitting propped up. “Hold still, I’ve got you.” he said. He could hear Jace’s voice, probably trying to reassure him, but Alec was far more concerned with finding his stele and healing the other male. He breathed a sigh of relief as he tugged the fabric of Jace’s shirt up to activate the iratze, pausing when he noticed Jace’s eyes were closed. “Jace, wake up.” he said softly, reaching up to lay a hand on the blonde’s cheek. “Jace, come on. Don’t you leave me.” he urged, a soft begging to his tone. He leaned forward to kiss Jace’s forehead, eyes closing as he held back tears. “Jace, come on. Wake. Up.” he demanded, relaxing visibly as Jace took a gasping breath, bicolored hues meeting blue. For a moment, nothing existed but the fact that Jace was alive. And then suddenly, there were lips to his, and Alec reached up to cling to Jace as he returned the kiss.

2; Stars - Skillet

Jace had always been the one everyone noticed. He was the one people followed after, the one that caught the tail end of more than one bad rejection. No matter what, he’d also always seemed to orbit Alec. It seemed odd that when he’d been stabbed, the last conscious thing he’d thought was an apology to his parabatai. And then there was a dull voice and he felt as if someone had pushed him. He gasped as he surfaced, eyes locking on Alec’s and his breath caught. Alec had found him; he always did. He couldn’t think for a moment and then he moved to kiss the older male, the arm not hurt reaching to take the dark haired nephilim’s hand and tug him closer once the kiss was returned. Everyone in his life had been a star for as long as he could recall, and it was strange that he just noticed Alec had become a sun among the stars in the sky that was Jace's life. “You found me.” Alec gave a soft laugh when Jace spoke, leaning to steal another kiss. 

“What was I supposed to do, just leave you? Not a chance.” he countered. “Come on, let’s get you home. I won’t go far until you’re healed.”

3; I Miss the Misery - HAlestorm

Alec had decided a long time ago that no one would ever know, aside from his sister, that he’d ever cared about Jace. He hid it, never wanting to be found out or cause problems. That didn’t mean he liked the way Jace hung over Clary’s every word. Sometimes he missed the old days, when he’d have to follow Jace and Izzy into some reckless assignment, reminding them to follow rules while watching their backs at every possible moment until they were home at the Institute taking care of wounds and paperwork. Clary had turned everything, and not just in the natural sequence of Alec’s life. He had to put up with the looks Jace gave, looks he wished would be directed at him despite knowing it couldn’t be. He hated the angry jealousy that would spark whenever Jace’s touch lingered on Clary’s skin, turning away and forcing himself to breathe. Jace wasn’t his; he never would be. And the fact was, he’d only had the misery of being in what the mundanes called the “friend zone” in his life, so somehow in the years since discovering how he felt for Jace, he’d learned to accept...and almost enjoy it. It was the only constant thing he still had left from before Clary stumbled into their lives.

4; Baptized - Daughtry

Jace woke up to the quiet sound of a heart monitor, blinking slow as he moved to turn his head, hissing low for a moment. He felt a hand cover his and he looked up to find Alec standing at his bedside. “What happened?” 

“Sebastian came at you from behind. We thought…” Alec’s voice got low and he looked down. “It was bad. But I knew you’d come back. You’ve escaped worse.” There was a mix of emotions in his parabatai’s voice and Jace turned his hand over to lace his fingers with the other male’s. 

“Why would I leave you, Alec?” he asked, looking at him. “I couldn’t leave you behind.” he managed a smile, closing his eyes when Alec leaned to kiss him. “I’m nothing without you.” 

“No, you’re everything.” Alec countered. “Get some rest, you’ve got a bad head injury.” 

“If you stay with me.” Jace replied, trying to adjust so that Alec could lay beside him. He stopped when Alec laid on his side, fitting in the room that was between his side and the rail of the bed. 

“Why would I go anywhere?” Alec asked, giving a soft smile.

5; Second Chance - Shinedown

Being dead had never been in Jace’s plans; but being brought back was certainly not in them, either. He was sitting on the edge of the roof, looking out over the city, when the door opened. Turning, he laid eyes on the one person who always knew where to find him. “Hey.” 

“Hey.” Alec walked over with a quiet smile, leaning forward on his forearms beside Jace. “What was it like?” 

“What do you mean?” Jace asked, not looking at his parabatai. 

“You know what I mean.” Alec replied. “The other side.” 

Jace turned to look at Alec, realizing that the one probably struggling more than he was would be Alec; their bond was gone and then returned now, voided when Jace had drawn his last breath and sparked back to life when he resurfaced. “It wasn’t so bad, really.” 

“Why?” Jace watched as Alec’s face stayed in profile, eyes staying out over the city. 

“I was there with you.” he replied. That made Alec’s head turn and they locked eyes. “I mean, you weren’t dead, but...you were there.” he replied. “We were just laying in bed. No demons, no Valentine, no Sebastian. Just us.” 

“Together?” Alec’s voice was a strange mix that Jace couldn’t identify. That was hard enough considering he knew every single one of Alec’s tones. 

“Together.” he replied, nodding. “It was like...a look at where I could be happy forever.” 

“And that was with me?” Alec asked, clear shock in his voice now. Jace could almost hear the ‘What about Clary?’ that had to be passing through the dark haired man’s mind. 

“Yes, with you.” Jace answered, leaning forward so his lips were a breath from Alec’s. “It’s always been you. And this is our second chance.”

6; Undefeated - Daughtry

Alec had been sitting in the room, staring at nothing as he waited for any news. He couldn’t bear to be near anyone, his body felt wrecked from wounds that weren’t his, weak from screams he hadn’t spoke. He hadn’t moved in hours as he tried to focus. He just wanted the pain to stop, the panic to stop. A knock made him freeze. ‘No.’ he thought. He couldn't make a choice like that, he wouldn’t. 

“Alec, it’s Clary.” 

Alec chanced to look over his shoulder. He knew, deep down, he couldn't exactly hide away. He was silent as the door opened, but he froze as there was more than just Clary on the opening side of the mahogany door. 

“Alec.” His name on full lips was what finally got the catatonic body moving again, and he practically tossed himself at Jace, his weight causing Jace to briefly stumble and spin them, his hold strong and protectively warm; the lion catching his lamb. 

“You’re okay.” Alec breathed as he buried his face in the crook of Jace’s neck, laying kisses on the skin. 

“Of course I am, I have to keep your back protected, Alec. Nothing will ever be enough to make me leave you, got it? You’re stuck-” Jace’s words were cut off as Alec pulled back to kiss the blonde, arms tightening around the broader shoulders as Alec clung to him. 

“Don’t you dare go off on your own like that again. Understood?”

7; Paralyzer - Finger Eleven

Clubs were not his thing. Alec actually never willingly set foot in one unless he was tracking a demon. He wasn’t sure why he’d agreed to go to this club without a mission, if he was being honest. Maybe a part of him wanted to be able to protect Jace and Izzy if something happened. A part of him, that he couldn’t admit out loud, wanted to watch Jace. He would hide in the back and drink water while he watched the way his parabatai’s body moved. Alec was used to being a backdrop to the beauty that was his sister and Jace, because most people noticed the two of them well before Alec, and some never noticed Alec at all. So he was perfectly capable of hiding as he watched. Tonight was the first time in a while he could just observe. 

Jace was dressed in his usual gear, his weapons of choice those which he could hide without hindering his ability to move fluidly. And Alec indeed enjoyed the fluid movements of Jace’s body. Lithe hips swaying as Jace was pressed against a young girl. Alec really envied the ones who got to press close, to feel the warmth and smell the cologne on Jace’s skin. Alec bit his lower lip, hiding it behind his water glass as blue eyes watched and wandered over Jace’s figure appreciatively. He was startled when a mundane wandering by tripped and spilled drinks all over him. He jumped up, his own glass forgotten as it tumbled to the tabletop beside him. The girl apologized and promised to fetch towels, disappearing into the mass of bodies. Alec stood, soaked with whatever alcohol had been in the glasses, before looking to the dance floor only to have panic overcome him when he realized Jace was gone. He tensed as hands found his hips, reaching instinctively for his seraph blade when there was a warm mouth at his neck and Jace’s voice in his ear. 

“Looking for someone?” 

Alec startled, pulling away to turn and look at him. “When did you ?” 

“It wasn’t hard to figure out.” he replied, moving to pull Alec towards him. “The girl mentioned my boyfriend watching and I noticed the look. So I came to finally have what we’ve both been craving.” he leaned in to kiss Alec, hands sliding along the archer’s hips to hold him close, giving a soft moan as he felt Alec returning the kiss, the two nephilim lost in the kiss as the beat played around them in the darkened club.

8; Lips of an Angel - Hinder

Jace was very mad. Not at anyone in particular, though. Well, if one could count the Clave as a single person, he supposed that would be the one he was mad at. Alec had been gone for over a month, and even though he could tell his parabatai was fine, he hated the distance. To top that off, he missed waking up to kisses, and going to sleep with Alec’s back pressed firmly against his chest, his face buried in Alec’s neck along the deflect rune. He just wanted the raven haired male back. The night had been uneventful and he’d retired to his bathroom to shower, a low music to keep the silence away. As he stepped out, towel wrapped around him, he heard the music turn down. He opened the cabinet door and pulled his small seraph blade, twirling it in his hand and walking to the door in only his towel, rushing out only to pause. Alec was sitting on the bed as if he’d been there when Jace had gone to shower. 

“Hey, beautiful.” the elder shadowhunter murmured, standing only to lose his balance as Jace quite literally pounced him onto the bed. He laughed and gave quiet moans as JAce kissed over any part of skin he could find. “I missed you, too.” 

“Why were you gone so long?” 

“I had some convincing I needed to do.” ALec countered with ease, shrugging a little as he looked up at Jace, smiling. He reached into his pocket, pulling out a little clear box with a golden ring. He watched as emotions crossed Jace’s bicolored eyes. Curiosity, confusion, observation, realization and then pure love before he was kissing Alec again. 

“I love you, Alec Lightwood.” 

“Pretty soon, I’ll be Alec Herondale.” Alec answered, smiling as he pulled Jace in for a deeper kiss.

9; Angel - Theory of a Deadman

Jace had never thought he could love anyone as much as he did. Let alone that the person he loved would love him back. After all the hell he’d been put through growing up, he finally felt like he had gone through it for a reason. It had all led him to this moment; to have a family that believed in him, loved him. Alec loved him more than most, even if no one really knew. He hadn’t even realized Alec was a literal angel in his life. Alec had saved him on many more levels than he could ever admit to anyone [except his parabatai]. Their love, their souls, were unique in their connection, and Jace was willing to explore everything about it for as long as Alec wanted him at his side.

10; Life After You - Daughtry

It didn’t seem real, to live without the one person you held so close you thought that you would die without them. Jace was finding out first hand that no matter how precious someone was, he could be ripped apart and still live. He held the chilling body close to him, crying into a neck with no pulse. There was no happy ending, not for him. Not ever. Valentine had seen to that. Jace woke with a gasping breath, a scream forming on his lips as he sat bolt upright, sweat soaked skin making him shiver in the cool air of the bedroom. 

“Jace?” The voice is sleepy and confused, a warm body moving as Alec sat up beside him and draped himself over his husband. “What’s wrong, baby?” 

“Just a nightmare.” Jace replied. 

“The one about Valentine killing me?” he asked. It had happened on occasion since before they’d ever been married. And Alec was always there to remind him that Valentine was dead, and they were safe. That Isabelle and Max were alive and well, and Clary was content in her role as godmother to the various children, including the ones she’d been a surrogate for so that Jace and Alec could have children. “It’s just a bad dream. Come on, lay back down.” He carefully coaxed Jace back into their bed, curling into the younger male and giving him a soft kiss. “Go back to sleep, I’ll be here when you get up. I swear.”
