#clace babies

[fairdale]

so. i just imagined clace with kids and my heart is so soft right now i could actually cry. specially for jace.

i know, i know he's gonna give his children the world. i know he's gonna give them all the love he didn't receive when he was young. i know he's gonna make sure they never doubt how loved they are, how special and great.

and don't get me wrong, i know clary will be an awesome mom too. she's gonna love them fiercely, she's gonna always support them and she's gonna show them how colorful the world is.

they're gonna be wonderful parents (they will be because they're gonna be fine and i don't accept another possibility).

SEBASTIAN AND THE SEELIE QUEEN, WHAT??? (I can't believe I'm stuck on this and so eagerly looking forward to it LMAOOO)

I LOVE ALL THIS SO MUCH, BTW!!! (If there's anything here that I couldn't care less for—at least, atm—it's Luke & Jocelyn's story XD)

I really need people to share these. I really, really do 😭

do you know what hurts? that jace completely shut down in shock when Valentine told him clary is his sister because he finally found someone that made him feel like he belonged and Valentine just took that and crushed it. that boy finally let someone in and was ready to let HER in just to find out that she is his sister that he didn’t even know existed like just think how traumatising it must’ve been.

[margareturtle]

So excited for all of the fluff in TWP 🥰

Clace + Sizzy weddings (maybe they already happened so we’ll get a short story at the end)

Tavvy’s First Rune (prob won’t get to see it but he will be 10 in TWP!!)

Someone’s Parabatai Ceremony (Dru+Thais, Dru+Kit, Kit+Ash, Dru+Jaime—depending on his aging in faerie) idk who but it’s not a shadowhunter series without a main set of parabatai so it’s gotta be one of them!!

Babies!!! Manifesting Baby Carstairs II and Baby Herondale

Kit is going to the 1989 World Tour with Magnus!!

Dru and Thais taking a trip into the city to see Chicago and/or Wicked on broadway!! (And Hamilton— it also began summer 2015)

Ash being adopted by Jace and Clary!!!

Kit and Ty communicating!!

(So much fun zero angst 😍)

[vierss-herondale]

You know how in the fics they usually portrayed Jace as scared to have kids? Because he was afraid he'd be a bad father figure? Well canon Jace really said that's bullshit, I want 8 😌

Come on Cassie give him at least a puppy, a cat or a freaking plant... I'm not asking for much

[aqueerincrisis]

i WILL finish tda this time and i WILL enjoy it

[rinadragomir]

My poor baby boy this week be like

@fluffbruary Day 12

Jace liked watching Clary sketch.

She always got this adorable furrow between her eyebrows when she concentrated. She always stuck her tongue out from the corner of her mouth as she tried to get a particularly tricky part. Her movements were so certain, so perfect, so graceful. There was always this one red curl that never stayed in her hastily done ponytail and hung tantalizingly down by her ear that she was too focused and busy to brush back.

She was always incredible, always bright, always incandescent, but never more so than when she was doing something she loved.

“Uncle Jace!” Max called loudly, ruining the introspective mood. He held up and shook the wooden sword in his hand - one of the pair Jace and Clary had spent days painstakingly making for their nephews. “Come and help me!”

Jace smiled ruefully. Romance was hard with kids around, which was why Alec and Magnus had dropped them at the Institute, declaring they were off for a romantic get away which included rarely found gems such as peace and quiet and no levitating children and no explosions.

Fortunately, Max hadn’t started his anti-gravity antics yet, because Clary would kill Jace when he started climbing to follow. He would probably start soon though, seeing as he’d clearly gotten bored of the colouring books and was restlessly walking around, horns bumping into everything.

Rafe looked up from where he watching and helping Clary paint. “Can I go too, Tía Clary?” He asked softly.

Clary reached out to ruffle his hair. “’Course, kiddo,” she said in the tender voice she saved for the children whom she wanted to protect: Emma. Julian. The other Blackthorns. And now their nephews. “I’ll save your painting so you can finish it later, okay?”

Rafe nodded vigorously, before snapping to his feet and rushing over as Jace corrected Max’s grip on the practice sword. “Me too, Uncle Jace!”

Jace chuckled. “No rush, Rafe. Grab your sword and come.” He walked them through some simple exercises and maneuvers he thought they’d be able to do – the same ones he’d done with his younger brother so long ago.

“Gah!” Max growled, swinging his sword wildly. “I’m a Shadowhunter! I’ll kill all the demins!”

Jace grinned. “That’s my boy.”

Rafael was much smoother in his movements – which made sense. He was a Shadowhunter. He had a natural instinct with weapons, and Alec had told him he’d spied on other Nephilim and trained by himself. Jace admired that sort of independence and stubbornness. It reminded him of himself, how much ever Magnus would hate that comparison.

“Uncle Jace, when can we see Tavvy again?” Rafe asked suddenly. He left his sword down next to his overnight bag and came over. Max tossed his randomly and skipped towards them.

“Max, keep your sword properly,” Jace chided gently. “If you get hurt, how are you going to be a little nuisance? Besides, it could get damaged.”

“Not a nuisance,” Max slurred petulantly, but he went and retrieved his sword anyway.

“Alec or I’ll talk to Helen and Julian,” Jace promised his other nephew in response to his question. “I’m sure you’ll get to see him soon.”

He cast his mind back and tried to remember. Right. They’d had only one playdate with the youngest Blackthorn after the whole Cohort-fake death-giants fiasco, and Magnus and Alec’s wedding. Max and Rafael were probably still worried about how Tavvy was holding up after everything his family had gone through. Jace knew he worried about Emma and Julian plenty, despite them seeming perfectly happy on their travel year.

Rafe nodded, satisfied. Jace directed him to the myriad of toys spread on the floor, nearly obscuring it. Sometimes he nearly understood Alec’s concern that they were spoiled, but nah. If he was saw something he thought his nephews liked, he’d buy it. If he took them out, he’d get them unhealthy stuff and ice creams to eat. He was their uncle. That was his job. It was Magnus and Alec’s job to be the boring dads.

“I want to build the Col-o-se-um,” Max enunciated carefully. Clary came up to them, and Jace slid his arm around her waist, lightly pulling her in for a kiss.

“Where did you hear of the Colosseum?” She asked curiously.

“Bapak talked about it,” Rafe answered as they scrambled around looking for materials for the project. “He said he was there when it started to crumble. He said it was very ‘siting.”

“And then Daddy called him a very big liar,” Max added.

“But then Bapak said he was a liar whom Daddy loved,” Rafe continued.

“And Daddy said he was lucky he did,” Max said, gathering the cloth from their short-lived knitting project and dumping it to the side. Jace wondered how that was going to go in the Colosseum but decided not to ask. He didn’t want to know. “And Bapak agreed.”

“And then they kissed,” Rafe made a face. “So many kisses.”

“I don’t see why Alec and Magnus had to go on a vacation to get their share of romance,” Jace complained to his fiancée. “They seem to be bringing every cliché ever to life.”

“Yeah, but they won’t get their peace and quiet with you around,” Clary grinned as he made a face, and went over to the boys. “You know, I painted the Colosseum once.”

“Really?” Max asked, wide-eyed. “Can we see it, Tia?”

“Yes!” Rafe said excitedly. “I want to see your studio, Aunt Clary!”

“Sure, later,” Jace interrupted. “Didn’t you want to make your own Colosseum first? To work, builders!”

They nodded in agreement, starting to discuss (read: argue) how they ought to begin the construction.

“I don’t know how you get them to always listen to you,” Clart said, smiling, as the brothers argued over the largest of the plastic multi-colored building blocks Jocelyn had given Magnus and Alec, which Clary and Simon had played with when they were kids. There was a ‘CF + SL forever’ scribbled on one of them, which at one-point Jace would have loathed and felt intensely jealous of, but now merely smiled at in fond amusement.

How things had changed in the years since he’d left his father and the foreboding mansion in Idris to the welcoming shores of New York: Max. Alec. Isabelle. His mother. Robert. Simon. Magnus. Jem and Tessa. Ragnor. Emma and Julian. Rafe and Max. Kit.

And Clary. Always, always Clary. His one constant in the world, his home, where his heart would be forevermore.

He thought about the seven-year-old he’d been when his father had first told him that parabatai was weakness, emotions were to be hidden, love was destruction.

He’d run at risky missions and self-destructive behaviour and death in his teenage years like flies going to amber: so attractive a prospect that all intelligent thought was out.

He remembered telling Kit that however much he thought otherwise, he didn’t want to die. He remembered looking at that fragile, orphaned, sarcastic, scared, defensive child and feeling a pang of commiseration, of old memory and a person he wasn’t any longer.

“Uncle Jace?” Max tugged at him worriedly when he was silent for a while. “You okay?”

Jace pressed a kiss to his head, carefully avoiding his horns. He exchanged a look with Clary, who smiled softly at him. “Yeah, Max. I am.”

[illstuckwithclace]

Whos your favorite Herondale

part two cause people were actually right I forgot other Herondales

[claryshortredheadedwabadtemper]

Clace is the type of couple that argues about who loves who more. (Don’t tell Clary, but I personally think Jace loves more

[khaleesiofalicante]

How is Selena named after Alec I feel like I missed something

They were referring to Lexi and David (his middle name is Alexander) :)

[idk-i-just-really-like-tsc]

clace short story in the better in black book !!! thank GOODNESS!!!!!

[timingmatters]

Re-reading tales from the shadowhunter academy and oh my god mark and Kieran!!! But most importantly!! Kieran!!!! My little baby boy i love him so much!!!!!

Like if i could rate all characters i think it would be (and this is a v unpopular ranking i think btw):

1- all the malec family. Including the kids. They all take the first spot.

2- KIERAN MY BABY

3- Jace and Isabelle

4- lily (i just love her shes so fun!! And yet so complex, full of longing and tragedy and yet so much live and fire and a will of iron. So brave. So gay. My beautiful girl).

5- cristina my wild baby

6- mark! (He would be so much more up if i didnt get a little annoyed every time i think on how he manipulated kieran with his love while simultaneously persuing cristina as if kieran didn’t matter. Ik he made up for it, and i adore him, but i will always be a little annoyed at him).

7- emma and julian!!!!!!!!!!!

8- clary and simon!!! (I swear i do love them, they just tend to annoy me more than the rest lmaoo)

9- the other blackthorn kids!!! Altho i feel like once the last series is out Dru and Ty (and ash + kit) will all go up in the rankings tbh.

Everyone else regardless of how i love them doesn’t really call to me. Like these are all characters i would read books based on. Everyone else i wouldn’t read a story solemnly on them so no spot number 10. Maybe Helen and Aline take spot number 10 because i could read a story about them???? But I’m genuinely not too sure i would. I tend to like really angsty characters trying their best and i just feel like Helen and Aline tend to be written as very stable people shhdhn so i’m not too sure i would jump to read a story about them immediately as is out, but i would 100% read it with time.

I might as well also rank my fave ships tho:

1- malec (obviously)

2- KIERARKTINA MY LOVES EVERY DAY I PRAY FOR THEIR HAPPY ENDING

3- Sizzy tbh altho half their written time has been spent with me vocally threatening simon (me talking to the books) whenever he hurts izzy bc thats my baby angel girl

4- jace and clary!!

5- emma and julian!!!!!!! They could honestly go up jace and clary, is just that jace and clary have nostalgia on their side

6- Helen and Aline!!!!!!!

7- Jem and Tessa. I do waver sometimes because (VERY UNPOPULAR OPINION!!!) i didnt like the love triangle with will!!! Those books fill me with anxiety more than enjoyment lmao. I do prefer jem and tessa. I like the peaceful love they have so much more. I like the idea that the one you love gives you serenity and peace over the PASSION!!! ANGST!!! Tropes. BUT I understand the love triangle is complicated, that she loves them both equally but differently (or thats what Cassandra tries to write at the very least, didnt feel like that because she disregarded Jem’s pov but whATEVER). Nonetheless i do really love the jem and tessa dynamic. A love that waited thousands of years but never weakened or hesitated.

Again, i have the suspicion ty and kit will go up a lot in rankings once the books about them are out. I also have my eye on Dru and Jaime, but with the age difference i put a stop. I know the books coming up will have a time skip and Dru will be like 18 or close to it, but i hear people say her love interest might be ash and the idea of that actually calls my attention so much???? So they could potentially go up too. Although mostly I’m excited to see how the time skip changed the kierarktina dynamics (Hopefully they still see each other like montly at the cabin and are very domestic by now. Hopefully someone has given kieran a cat by the time skip). And how the time skip and made the lightwood-bane family grow🥹 (the kids hopefully will have more scenes on their own and with malec).

“You disappear so completely into your head sometimes.” he said. “I wish I could follow you”

“You do.” she wanted to say. “You live in my head all the time”

- Jace and Clary, City of Ashes

[margareturtle]

Pitching another one of my TWP Crackpot Theories

Soooo

We know Cassie doesn’t give Clace a break

So I’m calling it now that Janus does kidnap Clary

(And to raise the stakes she’s pregnant too)

Janus takes Clary back to Thule

For some reason Jace isn’t around when this happens (he might be away with Malec that has smth to do with The Black Book of the Dead)

But Clary stayed back to run the NY institute and with her parabatai Simon and Izzy

So Janus kidnaps Clary and brings her back to Thule (maybe before Clary has been able to tell Jace that she is pregnant)

But he doesn’t bring Ash with him (Ash wouldn’t want to go back to Thule anyway)

Dru hears what has happened through Luke at the Academy (prob bc she was spying not bc she was told) and she immediately thinks of Ash knowing he one of the only ones who can open a portal to Thule. So she takes it upon herself to hunt down Ash…

Meanwhile Ty is currently hunting down Kit (he doesn’t know he’s looking for Kit but he’s looking to protect the First Heir from intel the scholomance received that the Seelie Queen and/or the Cohort is after him)

When Ty finally reunites with Kit is when they hear that Dru is missing (most likely it would be when they’re about to have a first kiss but then interrupted)

So obviously they have to go after Dru

And this inevitably ends up with the whole gang headed to Thule (after several adventures in faerie I’m sure: included but not limited to multiple close calls with Kit, seeing Kieran in Unseelie, getting weird warnings from the phouka, and prophetic dreams about the rising of the prince’s of hell)

They do eventually get to Clary and Janus in Thule (Thule Livvy and Ty meeting — devastating) — luckily not much time has past in Thule (Clary is still pregnant)

Kit and Ash together are able unblock Faerie in Thule (we find Thule Mark, Kit, Dru, Simon as well djsbrdjrjj) — imagine Kit has to fight his Thuleself lmao

They return to their world with the Thule Gang in tow (they can’t fight the final battle without Livvy, Raphael, etc— Cam and Thule Livvy maybe 🥹🥹)

Ash + Clary fight together — aunt & nephew bonding 🥹

While they have been gone a lot of shit has gone down!
