ALSO I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT. for a second when ragnor came to visit magnus, and raphael appeared behind him in just a towel after his shower, looking like all of the 15 year old boy he was, ragnor was like MAGNUS NO. NO MAGNUS. YOU DIDNT. AND HE THOUGHT THEY WERE DATING. like i completely forgot about that and its actually the funniest fucking thing ever written. and raphael and ragnor immediately bond over dunking on magnus. “i love this kid” so true ragnor me too

okay.

The Bane Chronicles: Saving Raphael Santiago

‘Word had spread throughout New York that Magnus was the warlock who would get you out of a jam. There was a Sanctuary, too, up in Brooklyn, if you needed to hide, but the witch who ran it didn’t solve your problems. Magnus solved problems. So why not get paid for it?’

Saving Raphael Santiago

[inlovewithquotes]

It was only because Magnus had seen where the vampire was looking and because he knew how Raphael felt, the exact exquisitely cold feeling of being an outcast, so alone that he barely seemed to exist, that he moved fast enough.

Raphael: I’m well aware that I’ve accidentally set myself on fire and it’s none of your business. I don’t need your pity water either. Let me burn in peace. Magnus: [looks around] Magnus: [throws gasoline]

[navree]

i have broken down and decided to spend my free time today rereading the bane chronicles (shut up shut up shut up i know okay but shut up) and i forgot how much of a dark horse favorite raphael was for me

[starrieshq]

Clary: I'm the main character, I'm the first protagonist of The Shadowhunter Chronicles!

Emma & Julian: No, we are, we had to break our parabatai bond AND save the world AND Livvy died!

Tessa: Aww, your sister died? My brother betrayed me before dying, PLUS my fiancée almost died because of yin fen!

Cordelia: My father brought shame to our family name!

Magnus Bane: *in every TSC book*

Magnus: *watched as one of his close friends Raphael Santiago sacrifice himself for his sake*

Magnus: *boyfriend tried to turn him mortal*

Magnus: *ex-girlfriend was manipulative*

Magnus: *having to deal with shadowhunters for centuries*

Magnus: *father is a literal prince of Hell*

Magnus:

The Bane Chronicles are so underrated

I think it’s bc the first few stories are Pre TID and so we don’t get to see as many favs

BUT STILL

What Really Happened in Peru — Magnus & Ragnor in Peru ICONIC. Magnus not really knowing what to do with his life REAL

The Runaway Queen — MARIE ANTOINETTE + MAGNUS ARE YOU KIDDING ME !! The hot air balloon. The vampires. I have no choice but to stan.

Vampires, Scones, & Edmund Herondale — early days of Camille. Shadowhunters being icky as usual. Will’s parents <3 Edmund left the shadowhunters for her 😫😫 (imagine if Jace lost his runes 💔💔)

The Midnight Heir — JAMES AND GRACE IN THE MIDNIGHT HEIR >>> I WILL MOURN YOU ALWAYSSS 😫😫

The Rise of the Hotel Dumort — the vibes. Just the vibes !! 1920’s NYC. Speakeasies. Camille & the vamps.

Saving Raphael Santiago — RAPHAEL MY BBG <33

The Fall of the Hotel Dumort — more RAPHAEL !! Plus a super old crazy warlock !! Magnus is so done lmaoo and the drama hasn’t even started

What to Get a Shadowhunter Who has Everything — Elyaas my bestie it’s been a while lmaoo also Ragnor + Catarina my besties. Alec’s bday !!

The Last Stand of the New York Institute — Followed by a flashaback of Magnus to a pregnant Maryse “i have no interest in the world you want or your doubtless repellent brat” LMAOO COMEDIC GOLD (Also seeing circle dynamics with Luke & Valentine, + Robert & Michael !! ) + Tessa & Magnus being besties ft baby clary

The Course of True Love (and first dates) — Malec first date <33

The voicemail of Magnus Bane — don’t do this to the cats Magnus !! Church and Chairman are in love 🥹😭

[starwolf-and-marauders]

I'm crying. Like bawling my eyes out crying. Screaming-crying-throwing up crying.

This contains spoilers for CoHF, the red scrolls of magic and the lost book of the white

I had really forgotten that Raphael has died ok? I don't know why, just Raphael Santiago was still alive in my head.

And I haven't read the lost book of the white yet, but I've read the extract there is at the end of the red scrolls of magic. So I've just assumed that in the end of the book they save ragnor.

I don't really want to know if they manage to save him, I want to find on my own so pls don't do spoilers.

But if they don't manage to save him, just imagine that they succeeded. And if they do manage, then you don't have to imagine anything.

But. Listen. Me. Out.

Ragnor, after he comes back to himself from being demonized, finds all his loved ones there. Magnus and Catarina are there, Tessa and Malcolm amd even Jocelyn has shown up (alec is there too bc he wants to be there for magnus, and Clary wants to save ragnor because he's the reason Jocelyn is alive, so jace ofc is with them bc where these two go, jace goes).

ANYWAY.

And it's just one person missing. Raphael. And ragnor is a little hurt because he was supposed to be dead for a couple of years and then he was possessed by a demon, and the least Raphael could do was show up. But he also knows how raph is so he doesn't take it personally. He just says "So what? The dickhead Raphael was too busy as always to attend my welcome back party?" And it's a joke. He's joking. But as he looks around at his friends' devastated faces, and Magnus almost being in tears, he realises.

And oh.

Isn't that the most hideous realisation on earth? Because Raphael is dead. He was gone too long and now his Raphael has died. He looks at his best friend for centuries, and pleads him with his eyes to say it isn't true. That his Raphael is alive. He has tears in his eyes as he shakes his head repeatedly ever so slightly no. But Magnus only clenches his eyes shut, a few tears slipping down his cheeks as he whispers "I'm so sorry".

And then Ragnor breaks down. For the first time in all the centuries he's been alive for, he sobs hard as his two best friends' arms circle him in a secure hug.

And then it all clicks for Alec. Because right then is when he remembers a young boy with dark hair, a phone on his hand, countless unread and unresponded messages, and lastly, a saved contact as "RF".

Ok I know Ragnor isn't emotional and that's out of character but he's been imprisoned and possessed for years and he just found out his lover is dead so i think it is a suitable reaction. What do you guys think?

Also, all this because I had forgotten about Raphael's death and I was thinking their reunion :')

[the-best-of-the-myrmidona]

yall do you remember in the bane chronicles what Raphael said to Lily

"You're gonna say, "man, I wish I had been a smart cookie and listened to Raphael Santiago"

(Paraphrased from recent memory from Saving Raphael Santiago from the Bane Chronicles)

Check out what I found in tftsa

finished rereading saving raphael santiago. i heart raphael so much. i miss him

[sprolden]

this line from saving raphael santiago is completely irrelevant to everyone else probably but it's referring to the downworlder sanctuary that's seen in CoB, which is at the top of my List of Things CC Once Invented In The Very Early Stages of Creating the Shadowhunter Universe, And Then Immediately Forgot About. I can't believe she randomly remembered...... and then seemingly forgot again
