File this under "I work in a funky old building and am gradually discovering more about it." Bill told me that if one walks alllll the way to the far end of the corporate office's hallway, then turn right, then turn left, and then turn right again, you'll be in a stairwell that not only goes all the way up to the roof, but also has this mysterious sheet of glass decorated to look like a stained-glass window mounted on a wall at the top of the stairs.

This is the same stairwell that has a light fixture from the original Buffalo Brewery. The brewery was on the site until 1948. A lot of the building was torn down but some pieces were saved.

Here's a shot of the old light fixture.

And an embellished sign at the top of the stairs…

This stairwell is worth checking out, but I haven't had the nerve yet to try opening the door to the roof; it isn't marked as having an alarm, but with my luck … ha! I'm too short to peer out through the little window at the top of the door, so the only way I'm gonna see what's out there is by opening the door. (Or by hauling a stepstool up there … LOL)

Jamie instantly looked at Jem, pleasantly surprised to hear her birth tongue coming from him. She recoverd and gave him a quiet, pleased smile. It had been awhile since she had heard Chinese from a fellow native speaker and it showed in how she looked at him.

“Wǒ hěn bàoqiàn, qǐng yuánliàng wǒ yīhuǐ'er,” she murmured, dipping her head to him. She shot another look at her brother before escaping back upstairs.

She came back down a few minutes later in a buttercup yellow dress, her black hair tied back with a matching ribbon. “I’m sorry for my earlier appearance,” she said again. “I wasn’t expecting company.” She sat next to Magnus and accepted the tea he passed her. “What brings Shadowhunters here?”

Tessa shoved her hand behind her back, hiding it from view, “I’m fine, I didn’t mean to make a fuss. It’s tiny, really, you’re going to think I’m being silly.”

Jamie kissed him back, shyly reaching up to touch his cheek as she did. Something in her cried as though her heart was broken. Perhaps she was mourning for her younger self, the self that had fallen hard and fast for Jem Carstairs so long ago. Or maybe something in her was repairing itself at long last.

Either way, she kissed him with bittersweet joy.

“It’s open!” Jamie called when a knock sounded on the door. Magnus has mentioned coming over so she assumed it was him. She didn’t turn around as she looked over some mail. “Mags did you grab the tea on your way?”

Jem smiled softly, stepping into the room and quietly closing the door behind him. It was certainly taking some getting used to, being himself again. He was adapting, though. Slowly. The Shadowhunter tilted his head slightly at the question, and his smile grew. “No, but I did come with a surprise.” He replied, not attempting to disguise his voice in the slightest.

“But you are different, and it’s a good thing.” ((Notstainedglass))

@notstainedglass

“I’m glad that you think so Jem,” he didn’t speak up about the fact that most didn’t, and that he had for the longest time doubted that even Charlotte actually liked his tinkering. Still as often as he was the butt of the joke in their little family he had come to realize that perhaps the people he cared for didn’t all view him the way most of their society did.

Jem was already awake when Maria woke in the morning. He’d prepared breakfast to cook once Maria woke, and was sitting on the sofa editing a video while he sipped at some tea. ((Notstainedglass))

"You are up early, mi amor." Maria yawned as she left their room, hair a mess and wrapped up in a blanket still bur ready for the day.

Magnus’ eyebrows rose and he gave a kind smile, tilting his head. “I didn’t have to, that doesn’t mean I didn’t want to.” He offered his arm for him to hold, though he knew that he wasn’t ill anymore and didn’t need help walking. This was only Magnus being a gentleman. “I figured you would not be allowed to stay at the City of Bones any longer, and seeing as Jace is about as obnoxious as Will was, I doubt you want to stick around the institute either.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you,” Emma started staring the man who was the last of their name. Decades past between them accompanied by so much deaths and pain, but also cherishing moments few could ever know. Jem was handsome though the sensibilities of his past made him blush and cluster at that declaration. Though it might have been mean, the girl enjoyed Lily Chen’s taunts every once in a while. Such a pale man becoming so feverishly red and eloquence becoming a flutter of odd constants and tongue. The only silent brother to loose who he once was. To gain his life back. Just another thing Jace did. One day, Emma carstairs would move up from second to the fighter. See his smirk and clary’s thumbs up. A blind man could see that Jem was in love. There were long looks at Tessa that were hard to miss much less ignore. Those bright orbs flickered with her beauty. Yet, they remained unlustful and careful. Like Jules eyeing her and the kids or an artist trying to memorize every little piece of the love of their life. Mabye that was a carstairs thing. Julian was her parabatia and romantic eyes were only on him. They were parabatia long acquainted with eachother and spelling words on bodies. The blackthorn boy kept their world afloat. He was a father and leader at such an age. Stubborn enough to not allow help or burdens. Like the other man, she caught glimpses of the time of his lips when he smiled and the movements of his hands. Loosing her parents had made the shadowhunter take moments. In fact, Julian often angrily teased that she through herself into the abyss with second thought. But they couldn’t be lost and she held the memorizes of the boy who played with her hair for centuries. Jem knew what being robbed of things you want was like. He took that leap just as quickly. “I guess you and Tessa couldn’t be pulled away,” Emma teased affectionately. She was never great with words when feelings came. “Wherever we stand ,Jem, we’re family now. I don’t know what you want from this but it seems odd to dance around the issue. Two orphans.”

Concern flashed across Will's face. "Do you need your medicine?"

Shield - Notstainedglass protecting Will

It was a calm evening in London; even the rolling fog was at bay, the stars making a faint appearance in the sky above them. Will and his parabatai were enjoying a rare quiet moment, strolling leisurely along the streets. Armed to the teeth, naturally, but in civilian clothes, their gear remaining at the Institute. 

The demon came out of nowhere, ugly limbs reaching for them. The world slowed down, but Will barely registered the thing was there before Jem had thrown himself in between the two of them, brandishing his staff. Will reached for the seraph blade tucked into his clothing, but he didn’t even have time to bring it to life before burning ichor sprayed over the both of them. Will’s stance relaxed as they watched the demon crumple into nothingness, but then his gaze was trained on Jem.

“James,” Will began, frowning. “I – thank you. Stupid thing came out of nowhere,” he muttered, brushing ichor off his sleeve with a look of distaste, disguising the stab of guilt he felt at the fact that he’d been so oblivious. 

He glanced back up at his parabatai. “Are you injured?”

“Jem!” Jamie whispered frantically as she felt his slow pulse. She hovered her hands over his heart and closed her eyes. Dark green wisps of light emmenated from her hands and into his body, searching for the problem.

“Jem,” she whispered. “Please wake up.”

       “You seem to be doing better,” Cristina commented, looking up from the censor she was working on for just a moment. “How is your head feeling? And your legs for that matter.”

"I'm not half asleep," Will muttered. He pulled his stele from where it had been keeping his place in an ancient looking book. "Raziel is helping keep me awake."

‘ if you don’t get some sleep soon, you’ll make yourself sick. ’ ((To Will from Notstainedglass))

Surrounded by books and papers, fingers stained with ink, Will barely looked up. “ ’M busy,” he mumbled, paging through one of his journals and leaving smudges on the edges of the pages.
