Me and Kit when Ty casually dropped the iconic line “You may not yourself be luminous, but you are an extraordinary conductor of light.“ in QoAaD

“Sometimes, when I have to do something I don't want to do, I pretend I'm a character from a book. It's easier to know what they would do.”

― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

“YOU MADE YOURSELF A DIFFERENT PERSON THAN THE ONE I LOVED”

i’m convinced ty will just spend the entirety of twp wondering what kit’s hair feels like and the moment he finds out my boy will lose his shit

Felt really inspired today 🖤 quote from City of Bones by Cassandra Clare.

⇢

"To love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed.”

A quote that has stuck with me since the 7th grade

From a book I blindly pulled from my library's shelves, untouched by so many,

With no idea this single book would subconsciously change my perception of love

forever.

A love so powerful, it consumes everything around it. Devours and ignites everything aflame.

Nothing in the universe exists, no. Not when

I see my golden boy.

My boy with gold blood in his veins,

a boy with fingers so thin and slender—an artists hands,

able to spin a web of worlds and endless

creations from his fingertips.

A boy so beautiful, with his blonde curls resting against his freckled skin.

Blue eyes like the tide, deadly enough to

pull you closer, yet there's something so

hypnotic about the back and forth swaying

of his waves.

A siren’s voice, singing so melodically.

I am merely a sailor in my siren's sea.

Sunshine in your smile

A Heronchild poem written from James' point of view.

-> for the @yearoftheotpevent May prompt ‘Sunshine’

-> read below or on AO3

Sunshine in your smile hair like gold so bright To be under your gaze is to be touched by rays of warmth and light I know that I‘d presume in pride, for all you are so fair and fleeting as the hours of day to ever think you mine Too often now I find myself the devils own device, in shadows wreathed on blackened shores and under starless skies But always it is you who finds me in my night The one whose touch does still cut through to pull me back into the light Yet as of late it seems your shine is clouded, your gemstone eyes in grief so deep are shrouded I know you fear to burn too hot if looked upon to blind I care not whom you think you wronged or what you seek to hide: You cannot parch my skin nor scorch my eyes To cancel out the light within will ever be enough no darkness and no sin

Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee - for whither thou goest, I will go.

-Cassandra Clare

[clockwork-carstairs]

i was minding my business working on an essay and i suddenly remembered that will is never going to hold mina in his arms or play with her, he’ll never be present in her life like jem (as brother zachariah) was with james and lucie. he would’ve loved mina so much. and jem and tessa will live the rest of their lives without will ever being there again. will’s random demon pox singing, his hilarious poetry, they’ll only ever be a memory. will herondale will never live with a healthy jem carstairs. i’m shattered

My favorite Sherlock x John retelling

1) Holloway Holmes & Jack Moreno from The Adventure of Holloway Holmes (book series).

- These two have the most special place in my heart. They are the healthiest, most adorable pairing I've ever encountered and I love them like my own sons. (And they are canonically together!!!!).

- they really said MISCOMMUNICATION WHO?? IDK THAT BITCH. Couple goal at its finest, really 😭🤌🏻 Jack will sit Holloway down an be like, "TALK YOU EMOTIONAL CONSTIPATED MF 👺👹 ILY 🥰💞✨😻

- HOLLOWAY HOLMES IS MY SAD MENACING CINNAMON ROLL AND HE NEED A HUG.

- Jack Moreno is really out there casually being Holloway's #1 defender. He needs a hug too let me give it to you, baby 😭 (and this is a SPOILER but he IS a Watson. He just didn't know that).

- again, they are just ADORABLE. SICKENINGLY DOMESTIC MARRIED CRIME SOLVING BOYFRIENDS. And Jack's internal monologue is so fun to read, he's hilarious!!

2) Ty Blackthorn x Kit Herondale from TDA (book series)

- okay this is not technically a Sherlock retelling but they have the vibe!!! Ty basically fancy themselves Holmes and Watson and I'd do anything Ty told me to do.

- fella is it gay that you're waxing poetry for this boy who held a knife at your neck the first time you met? Kit doesn't care he's dying. He was too shocked at how pretty Ty is (I am NOT EVEN EXAGGERATING)

- HOWEVER they are the KING OF MISCOMMUNICATION. KIT HONEY I PROMISE YOU TY HAVE A BIG FAT CRUSH ON YOU.

- the way Kit adores Ty is peak literature. I CANNOT deal with their angst. I wouldn't survive it.

- hope they solve more crimes (and kiss!!) in the coming books. I'VE WAITED YEARS FOR THEM OKAY.

3) Sherlock Holmes x John Watson (BBC Sherlock)

- the first two seasons of them are SO ADORABLE.

- they matched each other's freaks so much. What do you MEAN John shot someone for Sherlock just a DAY after meeting him???

- I haven't watched beyond season 3 but I know what was gonna happen and maybe that's why they're kinda low.

- THEIR FANFIC IS FIRE. I LIVED OFF IT. WHENEVER AO3 WENT DOWN ITS LIKE MY LIFE SUPPORT WAS PLUGGED OFF.

- they aren't canonly together tho 😭😭

4) Charlotte Holmes x Jamie Watson from A Study in Charlotte (book series)

- I ate them up when I was 14. Still crazy about them.

- their relationship is SO COMPLICATED and low-key toxic. It makes me want to tear out my hair, it makes me want to eat paper and scream and cry.

- they love each other, they truly do. As far as I remember, they're still not canon by the end because Charlotte wasn't ready (and what happened to her was heartbreaking. I understand why she isn't ready to be with Jamie but it still broke my heart) 😭😭

- Charlotte Holmes can be BBC Sherlock's daughter. They are so similar in so many ways. And they are so destructive 😭😭 AND CHARLOTTE NEED THERAPY PLEASE GIVE THIS CHILD A THERAPY.

- Jamie just... He needed a break. Give him a break, you guys. He's tired and sad. He's only 17, he doesn't know anything but he knows he loves Charlotte.

- (I can write a whole essay about their relationships and of Charlotte. I think I did at one point lmao).

- okay now that I'm writing this should be at least the top 3. I'm ranking it 2 but I'm too lazy to move it up. This book is the one that got me into the Sherlock lore in the first place, I was obsessed.

5) Enola Holmes x Louise Partridge (I don't remember the characters name sorry 😭)

- I watched this movie on my ex bestie's birthdays when I was like, 14 so in a way I have a special connection to this movie

- but honestly I think it's boring lmao.

us (gracie abrams ft taylor swift) is such a kitty coded song

“I know you know, It felt just like a joke” (ty still doesn’t process everything)

“I know your ghost, I see her through the smoke” (LIVVY!!!!) 

“And if history's clear, someone always ends up in ruins” (a blackthorn and a herondale doing necromancy)

“And what seemed like fate becomes "What the hell was I doin'?"” (kit after the lake lyn)

“Do you miss us, us? Wonder if you regret the secret” (self explanatory)

“I know you know, It felt like somethin' old, It felt like somethin' holy, like souls pleadin', so” (ty hasnt felt this way in his life)

“It felt like what I've known, you're twenty-nine years old” (ty and kit after reuniting and theyre 18) 

“So how can you be cold when I open my home?” (kit saying to ty everything will go back to how it was after everything passes)

“And if history's clear, the flames always end up in ashes” (a carstairs aka kit running to europe after confessing to someone)

“That night you were talkin' false prophets and profits, they makin' the margin of poetry sonnets” (kits letters 😭)

“You never read upon it” (HEAVY ON KITS LETTERS)

“Shame, could've learned something, Robert Bly on my nightstand, gifts from you, how ironic” (the heron necklace…)

“The curse of a miracle, curse of an oracle. You're incomparable, fuck, it was chemical”

[wikitpowers]

AND MAYBE I’LL CRY THE MOMENT I READ THAT DESCRIPTION???????? AND BY “MAYBE” I MEAN I DEFINITELY WILL BE????????

I just realized that Kit is the only Herondale men of whom we’ve never gotten an poetric discribtion by his significant other. Like Clary, Tessa and Cordelia described Jace, Will and James with such poetic words that I‘ve always thought of them as the most beautiful men existing.

However, since we‘ve never gotten Ty‘s POV, we only perceived Kit the way he perceived himself - not as trained and „flawless“ as the other Shadowhunters. And it will be so beautiful to see how this insecure teenager grows into a full man and to get Ty‘s description of his appearance and beauty in full length.

So of course we all know and love the beauty mark BUT I am here to spread the gospel of Kit's freckles which are in a lot of the sobh art and also on his flower card and they just make me very emotional because like, my boy was kept indoors in a basement only going outside at night for so much of his life and now he's able to be outside in the sun enough to get lil freckles on his face and 😭😭😭😭😭😭

OH NO FEAR NOT I AM AN ENTHUSIAST OF KIT HERONDALE’S FRECKLES, THERE IS A REASON HE HAS THEM IN MY PFP BC I JUST FALL APART WHEN I LOOK AT THEM THEY’RE ADORABLE

BUT OH MY GOD NO THE COMMENT ABOUT HIM BEING OUTSIDE ENOUGH TO EVEN GET FRECKLES MADE ME SO :(( WHY ARE U DOING THIS TO ME AM I NOT SAD ENOUGH :((

i just know that tessa and jem take him out on daily walks with mina and have quality family time so our boy can get his cute little freckles and yeah i just want to cry basically thank u for this

[onetimetwotimesthreetimess]

okay but Jace is such a simp friend lol. like he kept on waxing poetry about everyone’s hair lol and only bullied simon a lil cause of his experiment but like he didn’t have a single bad thing to say—he’s just being a goofy, simp friend on a company wide email lmao. I love this stupid boy so much. to think how far he’s grown from the 2006 version of Jace Herondale, I am emotion. 🥺🥺

[marrr444]

who do you think matthew will end up with?? downworlder or shadowhunter??

A Shadowhunter but not because he wouldn't want to end up with a downworlder.

Matthew was the one who continued the Fairchild line wasn't he??

If Clary had even a drop of downworlder blood she would have known simply because of the prejudices of the Clave, especially towards older generations. Her ancestors would have been treated badly because of it (and to a certain degree so would she have been) . Instead the Fairchilds are one of the most important Shadowhunter families (yet again so are the Herondales, but Tessa was a generation before Matthew). Besides if there were even rumors about it, Valentine wouldn't have married Jocelyn, would he?

Anyway, I think somewhere among his travels he's going to randomly meet a Shadowhunter who appreciates mundane art and poetry the way he does and he's gonna be like that's it, she's the one.
