#but it's sooo worth it for malec. everything is.

[khaleesiofalicante]

These fic was sooo good😭this will be my new canon from now on bc here bad people are killed and good people can live happily!!!

The institutes being turned into nightclubs makes me so happy you have no idea jdvdjdkd

“He never did,” Magnus says and then gasps softly. “Alec, we killed the wrong person!” I never thought I would read this from malec but my life is way better bc of it 😂😂 also yes they are a team!!!

“Can I get a please before you ask me to break the law I swore to protect?” Jace drawls.

“No.”

“Fine,” Jace huffs. “What’s up?”

Jace is a mood here😎😎

We do have to admire Max's constance and ability to lie...

“There is much good left in this world, Alexander,” Magnus whispers gently. “You’re still here, aren’t you?” morally grey but soft malec is definitely a fave from now on. I need more if them🥺🥺

What the fuck?? How did they manage to put an additional carriage though??

I can't get enough of them😍 them theorizing and researching together and coming with solutions... Yeah I do have a type of ship huh?

Holy shit jshskdjdkdk. Mavid dating and then getting secretly married and no one knowing anything about it is actually NOT SURPRISING AT ALL😂

I actually wanted to point out my favorite bit of the last letter but I just can't. I love everything this man writes, but this may be one of them 💙💙

The thing is though, the world isn’t divided into good guys and bad guys.

We are all both. Sometimes we are neither.

We must choose who we want to be.

He actually wasn't lying when he went as Lightwood-Bane on the train. He literally was one already!!

David as a letter writing phsyco 😍😍😍 I support David's rights, but mostly David's wrongs!!!

“The book!” Alec gasps. “You hit him with that big red book.”

David chuckles. “It was rather poetic.”

Damn, that was my dream too😔

“I killed five people in cold blood for your son,” And he was so sexy for it

“Magnus stopped killing people for you. I started killing people for Max,” David hums. “It’s not very different if you ask me. We both did what we did for love.” They are precious babes who did nothing wrong in their lives if you as me....

“I think it’s been well established that I’m no saint,” Why am I a little bit more in love with him?

Alec: are you crazy?? You killed those people and wrote the letters and everything?? And got married and had kids and we didn't know? My husband and I are going to k-

David: after this, we can move to NY and you can see your grandkids

Alec: oh ok. Who are we killing then? I need names. Now. The sooner we get this done, the better🙂

“You took hell of a risk, kid,” Alec shakes his head.

“I found my reason,” David smiles. “And he was worth risking everything.”

And he was worth risking everything 😭😭 ok well then watch me make this a new fave mavid quote!

I loved this, you have no idea. David is precious and malec are badass and the comedy here was *chef kiss*

I love it. I loved them. I love you.

💙.💙.💙.

Thank you so much 💙

This fic took our bebes to a new level of unhinged and I'm here for it. We need more unhinged chaos. MORE!

Love you!

I'm having such a good time following your sh rewatch kjfghkdfg

i think you just passed the last bit i watched so i just went from "yeah i remember that, so nostalgic" to "oh shit! did that happen?!" very fun!

KDMKSJFJDF glad it's entertaining lmfaoo and oh man i almost said "you should watch the rest" but like. should you?💀 i enjoy it ngl but I'm pretty sure this show is unwatchable to anyone who wasn't insane about it while it was airing idk

[magnus-the-maqnificent]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way you write malec in your fics! It's exactly how I see them in canon! Like, idk how to explain it, I know fanon malec could be different than canon, but still it's sooo amazing to see some writers know Malec sooo well that they can portray it this perfectly, like in lots of the fics there are usually situations that make me think 'i don't really think Alec/Magnus would do this' [1/?]

Hol up lemme tag @khaleesiofalicante real quick

ANNNIEEEEE YOU’RE MAKING ME BLUSH 🥺🥺❤❤❤❤

And yes, I get what you mean??? Like sometimes the characterisation just doesn't hit the spot and you're just like "I could fix this" lol 😂

YESSSS I COMPLETELY AGREE W EVERYTHING YOU'VE SAID ABOUT MAGNUS AND ALEC!!!! Like Magnus does have a really young spirit and he's such a "live like you're gonna die tomorrow" person and Alec... God so much of his character gets erased sometimes 😭 they turn him into a literal damsel in distress sometimes sksjjs

I'm glad to hear I get them perfectly 🥰 my secret but not-really-a-secret is that I tend to see their characteristics and traits as dials of sorts, things I can increase and decrease. EVR, for example, had me dialing up Magnus’s disasterness from TBC a little bit, and for SMNIYB Alec, i just had to amp up his protectiveness to the max. Like, sure i can imagine these characters differently, but it's so much easier and better when simply fiddling with their default canon settings will give me the character I need for this plot, ya know?

Idk how much of that explanation makes sense, but yeah 😅

I love that you're in this fandom too, annie 🥺❤ I swear, readers like you make it all worth it <3

[daeneryn]

ida bless me w ur writing pls!!! could you do malec + “Enough with the sass!” or if that's already been done “STOP INTERRUPTING ME!”? extra points if u do both in one but absolutely not necessary!!! thank you sm!!

aaaahhh ily saskia! thanks for sending a prompt, i hope you don’t hate it! I’m sure it’s not what you wanted but after the 3a finale I had to write a scene that was missing from the episode. Sooo spoiler alert for episodes 3x09 & 3x10!

Word count: 1.5k

85. “STOP INTERRUPTING ME!” & 83. “Enough with the sass!”

I will carry youThe night was almost over, the solace of the dawn reaching for them as they slowly made their way through the wintery city. It had all felt like a fevery dream, every moment fleeting, something you could barely even begin to grasp before it was gone. Magnus tried to remember everything that had happened, everything that had led him to this point - his fight with Lorenzo, meeting his father and losing his magic. It had all happened so fast that he hadn’t even really realized it all.

He could feel Alec leaning onto him more fully now, his strength leaving him with every heavy beat of his heart, fighting to keep him alive. More than anything, in that moment Magnus wished he still had his magic, his powers so he might save him or at least create a portal and get him to safety faster.

The sun was already rising, the fresh morning painting the city with its frail colors, melting the frosts of the night. He glanced at Alec then, not an ounce of color left  in his pale features, his eyes darker than Magnus remembered them being. He stopped walking to adjust his grip on him, his jacket already covered in his blood.

“Alec, stay with me”, he whispered, nudging him a little, causing Alec to smile faintly at him, as if there was something to smile about.

“I’m fine”

“You were stabbed, you’re not fine”, Magnus said with a roll of his eyes, tightening his grip on Alec’s arm, holding him closer.

“Yeah, yeah, are we far from the institute?”, he asked then, his voice a little slurry and his eyes drooping. Magnus glanced at the arrow still sticking from his chest, now riddled with awful memories.

Will one of my arrowheads end up in that box?

Magnus shook his head, chasing the thought away. He supposed that question had been answered now - he would never want to remember Alec by his arrows, not now that he had been stabbed with one.

“Just a couple blocks, can you hold on that long?”

“Mmhmm”, Alec slurred, his eyes closed as Magnus began walking again. Magnus was strong, always had been, but this was testing every ounce of strength he had left in him, for all that he had lost, he wouldn’t survive losing his Alexander. He could give up his magic, the very core of his being, but not Alec. Never him.

He gave a silent prayer to anyone who might’ve been listening, to spare him. For if Magnus lost him now, what was there left for him then?

“Magnus, I have something I need to say, though, in case I don’t make it”

“Don’t talk like that”, Magnus exclaimed, turning to look at Alec with panic in his eyes.

“But just in case”, Alec insisted, angling his head so he might see him, “it’s important”

Magnus sighed then, leaning a little closer so Alec might whisper into his ear.

“You look really hot in that coat”, he said, more loudly than necessary for any regular conversation, causing Magnus to huff in mild disbelief at his words, all worry gone for the time being.

“Alright, enough with the sass until we fix you up”

“I wasn’t being sassy! It’s true what I said”

“Alright, but if you die here, I’m going to repeat those words at your funeral so maybe don’t speak until you’re better”

“Fine”

Magnus rolled his eyes at him, though he couldn’t help the incessant smile tugging at his lips, or the fluttering in his heart. He really did love his angel, didn’t he, even in silly moments like this. So he simply fixed his grip on him, and carried on, feeling much lighter than before, wondering if that had been Alec’s purpose all along.

-

The cold winds were playing with the small fire that sat in the large fireplace, decorated with rose vines, creeping up and down its stony exterior like the light coming from the small windows, dotting the grey walls with its life. He turned to look back at Alec then, his small, but steady breaths the most wonderful sound to him then, for they let him know he was alright. He was going to be alright.

The arrow was now lying on the table next to him, discarded there in haste as the doctors had rushed around Alec, pushing Magnus aside with feeble words of encouragement. But it was only then, as he saw Alec alive and breathing, that made him feel better. If he was alright, his sacrifice had been worth it.

He could feel Alec stirring, waking up and his hold on his hand tightened as he perked up, eager to see his angel awake.

“Magnus?”, Alec asked, his voice small and weak, but Magnus heard him all the same.

“I’m here, Alec, I’m here”, Magnus reassured, hovering over Alec as if his very presence was enough to keep him from any future harm.

“Good”

He opened his eyes then, focusing his attention solely on Magnus, a gentle smile tugging at his lips as he studied his face. To Magnus, that smile was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen and he was sure Alec had never smiled so beautifully before.

Alec sat up slowly as Magnus supported him, fixing his pillow and holding his hand, as if he was ever going to be able to let go. He had almost seen his greatest love die, so he wasn’t going to leave him for a long time. He knew he couldn’t even if he wanted to.

“You okay?”, he asked quietly, Alec only rolling his eyes at his concern.

“Magnus, I’m fine”

“You died! Your heart stopped beating!”

“Almost died”, Alec corrected with a pointed look, earning an exasperated sigh from Magnus.

“Glad to know your humor is as terrible as always”

“You wound me, Magnus”, Alec said, feigning hurt as he adjusted his position. Magnus only sighing as he sat back down on the chair beside his bed.

Alec turned to properly look at him then, his eyes stern and unreachable as he studied him.

“What did you say about your magic being gone?”

Magnus couldn’t claim to be surprised that Alec remembered that, but he hadn’t really thought of how to break it down for him, and not make him all the more worried.

“Asmodeus wanted it in exchange for helping me”, he said simply, not daring to meet Alec’s eyes, “I knew this when I left - he always requires a sacrifice”

“But your magic? Was there nothing else you could’ve given?”, Alec worried, sitting up more straight as he took Magnus’ hands in his.

“He did ask me to rule with him, but that would’ve meant giving up everything”, he explained, finally meeting Alec’s gaze. “And I couldn’t bear to lose you”

Alec stayed silent then, unsure how to continue or simply surprised that Magnus would rather give up his magic than not be with him. So Magnus stayed quiet too, not telling him how easy the choice had been.

“So you just, what, gave up it up? Without a fight? Magnus, you’re a warlock - your magic is a big part of you and you just-”

“Alec, it isn’t like that!”, Magnus interrupted, his mouth opening and closing as he searched for the right words.

“Don’t interrupt me!”, Alec said then, his voice rising as he turned to fully face him, wincing a little in pain at the sudden movement. “You did all that just for me?”

“What do you mean just for you? I-”

“Stop interrupting me!”, Alec shouted then, his hand on his heart to stop the wound from opening up. Magnus only closed his mouth then, not wanting to fight.

“You should’ve stood up to him, fought him or something! You can’t just give up such an integral part of you, after all you’ve already sacrificed, just to save me and Jace”

“I didn’t do it just for you, I did for everyone. I needed to free Jace, so we might have a chance at stopping Lilith and had I not, you- you would’ve died Alec”, he said, his voice getting quieter and quieter.

“I know that, but I just- I don’t want you to resent me because of this”, Alec said, his eyes dropping to look at his hands, clasped on his lap, instead of Magnus.

“Resent you? This isn’t your fault, Alec”

“But it is”, he said, worrying the inside of his cheek before continuing, “I shouldn’t have let you go”

“We didn’t have a choice”, Magnus reassured, raising his hand to hold Alec’s, smiling softly at his concern, “and we’ll get through this, like we always do”

“Okay”, he whispered, finally meeting Magnus’ eyes, “but I’m going to train you”

“What? Why?”, Magnus chuckled, his brows furrowing in surprise.

“So you’re not totally helpless”, Alec said very matter-of-factly, as if it was obvious that he needed to train Magnus now that he no longer had his magic.

“Fine, you can train me”

“Good”, Alec said with a firm nod, and Magnus couldn’t help but lean in and press a small kiss on his forehead, ruffling his dark hair as well.

Let's talk about Kit & Ty (I NEED TO GET THIS OUT OF MY CHEST)

When I first start to read TDA I already knew a lot of people were shipping Kitty (sorry if it’s not the right name), but to be honest I didn’t. I read the snippets and start to think about them as a really good and truly friendship. I thought about them as parabatai (BY THE ANGEL, I WAS SOOO WRONG). But after finishing LoS I must say that I’m fully on with the ship. 

Whaaaaaaaataaat??????!! 

Let me explain myself to you (8 

The thing is that they really start with a friendship at first, they start to know and trust each other. 

Through LoS we can see little by little their relationship developed from this wear attraction to protecting each other and not wanting to be apart because they realize they will miss the other one. We can see it and so did Livvy, [SPOILER] which is why she tells Kit they shouldn’t try something [END OF SPOILER], she knows how Ty feels even before he himself knows. I mean, let’s be honest, they still don’t how they feel and they can’t stop a couple of minutes to think about it and figure it out because they are this close 

to die every 2 chapters! And seeing how things ended in LoS that will remain not happening; the two of them have way more things to process. 

Now, the reason why I thought about them as parabatai it’s because:

they were really getting along.

 Ty use to doubt a lot about being parabatai with Livvy and..

 [SPOILER] in a brief moment even Kit thought about asking Ty about it  [END OF SPOILER].

BUUUUUUUT ( 🍑 ) the thing is that the only true parabatai relationship Kit has ever seen it’s Julian’s with Emma, and bro, that’s some crazy shit. 

Could be possible that Kit wants with Ty what he sees in Julian and Emma (love, trust, support, family, friendship, SOMEONE WHO IS ALWAYS WHIT YOU NO MATTER WHAT) and assume that’s what a parabatai relationship is?

HELL YEAH, WE HOPE SO.

I think this is going to be one of the best ships in the Shadowhunters Chronicles, because it will be one of the few that we will actually get to see progress. Cassie is not just jumping to put them together right away, she’s actually creating a relationship slowly like Jemma or Sizzy or Malec or Heline or Kierark or, I’ll admit, Kierarktina and we are actually getting to see it…

 for the first time!

Don’t get me wrong: 

I love Clace, they are the most intense ship in the series (maybe with Jemma by their side) but they were attracted since the moment they saw each other, and that was all: if it wasn’t for the problem others put it their relationship (INCEST) they have probably ended together since the first book. 

We know that Jemma is based on a friendship that start since the beginning of times and they are INTENSE, but they fall for each other during all of those years (almost two decades) and we obviously didn’t get to see it. And let’s not forget the parabatai issue that sometimes, for me, it’s just to much drama. It kills me. 

Sizzy is the sweetest ship, they just are, but they didn’t have POV’s at the beginning of the series, and even with Simos’s POV in ToSA, it’s kind of a deal breaker. Even that way, it’s one of the two couples that we have seen really work in their relationship. 

¿The two couples that we have seen really work in their relationship? ¿Which is the other one? You know it baby, I’m talking about Malec. They are not the sweetest or the most passionate ship, THEY ARE THE OTP. That’s why I’m saying they have earned their place as the #1. And the reason they will remain in that place it’s thanks to The Eldest Curses because that way we will finally see EVERYTHING about them. 

We know Kieran and Mark love each other but we just have flashbacks about the start of their relationship, really really short flashbacks 8( 

As for Heline, they are so beautiful but we didn’t get to see them falling in love (The Eldest Curses COME TO ME, I NEED MY LESBIAN DOSIS). 

And that’s why I love Kitty, the reason of why I now ship them sooooo much.

Cassie is giving us the start of their relationship, she’s putting all the bases for their moment, because sadly, their moment will not come until The Wicked Powers, not for Ty’s identity as one solo person, not for Kit’s true past and origin, not for neither of their individual story nor their story together. 

So Cassandra, pretty please, make the wait worth it. But we still love you if you don’t 💕💕💕 and thank you so much for making the books queerer

PS. I think Ty is Demi-sexual

and Kit Pan, what do you think?
