What is ur personal favourite, hands down recommended reading order? The way you like most, the way that's the most optimal way of reading it? According to you of course (and maybe including extra chapters) ? :))

Key:

Cassie Clare Canon -> If a short story is listed by name, it means I recommend you read it there rather than where I list the rest of the story collection. Or, you know, you could reread the story and have fun ;)

My fanfic

NOT PUBLISHED YET. Indicates a WIP that I am actively working on. I did not list WIPs that I am not actively working on.

My fanfic, but NSFW

@vwritesaus fanfic because I accept all her works as canon and also we share almost every headcanon so they fit in with all the other stuff on this list.

W/T -> Wessa

M -> Matthew

EIR -> Expert in Romantics Series

T/A -> Thomastair

TWLTB -> Together We'll Learn to Breathe Series

J/C -> Herondaisy

Note: I have only included fanfics that are fully canon compliant. I have others as does V, and you should read those too :P But these are just canon and bonus chapters.

Honestly why do we keep making ship names based on surnames when they all have the same last names

[edwinspaynes]

how do you think ari and anna story will be like? which tropes? which characters will appear or be mentioned?

I think the Ari/Anna story will be primarily about their adoption post-ChoT. I dig it - I personally just want to see them in a functional relationship when they're not in life or death situations, and I want to see how they manage their very stark lifestyle differences. I'm rooting for them. Let them have some tough talks!

Trope-wise, the only thing I'm really expecting is Dead Guy Junior. That kid is going to be named after Christopher, I have no doubt about it.

I'm pretty sure that Flora Bridgestock will appear because she seems like a pretty big/involved part of Ari and Anna's story. She's also going with them to India, and I think she's serving as a kind of parental figure for Anna too which I love. Great for healing for everyone in a society rife with systemic homophobia.

Beyond that, I'm hoping and praying for a Matthew cameo with his love interest (I think it'd be neat if they briefly showed up in both the Thomastair and AriAnna stories and wrote to Herondaisy in their story solely because it's our last chance to see him, but hey. I'll accept it if he doesn't, but yeah.) I also would love a Cordelia cameo so we could see her with Anna, I adore their friendship.
