My ability to have a poker face while reading fanfiction when other people are in the room has proven that my theatre classes have paid off.
“Alec blames Max’s attitude on his aunt Isabelle, who kept telling him his bedtime was never.
They were saved by Jace’s signal, a faerie-leaf folded plane striking the glass of the window. Alec gave Max a little kiss, in the midst of his curls but avoiding his horns. ‘No, I’m going on a mission.’
‘I come with you,’ Max proposed. ‘I be a Shadowhunter.’ Max said that a lot too, for which Alec blamed Max’s uncle Jace.”

City of heavenly fire, after Simon lost his memories, but started getting a few back.
“Simon was looking at Jace as if he were both fascinating and also a little alarming. ‘Did I—did we ever—did I bite you?’
Jace touched the scar on his throat. ‘I can’t believe you remember that.’
‘Did we... roll around on the bottom of a boat?’
‘Yes, you bit me, yes, I kind of liked it, yes, let’s not talk about it again,’ said Jace.”
-Page 635
“Jace looked around uneasily at the walls hung with veils, fans, tiaras, and seed-pearl-encrusted trains. ‘Everything is so... white.’
‘Of course it’s white,’ said Simon. ‘It’s a wedding.’
‘White for Shadowhunters is the color of funerals,’ Luke explained. ‘But for mundanes, Jace, it’s the color of weddings. Brides wear white to symbolize their purity.’
‘I thought Jocelyn said her dress wasn’t white,’ Simon said.
‘Well,’ said Jace, ‘I suppose that ship has sailed.’
Luke choked on his coffee.”

*Me, blushing and smiling at my phone*
Family: ooh, texting a boy?
*Me, reading a fanfic*
Me: I, uh- yes. A boy. I am texting a boy.

“There is a fine line between sarcasm and outright hostility, and you seem to have crossed it.”
-Jace Herondale
“To love is to destroy, to be loved is to be destroyed.”
-Jace describing both Will and Julian & Emma’s curse.
Imagine the crap that would go down if your OTP was forced to pick which one of them would die/be tortured.
Okay, stick with me for a second...
Villain: The two of you have been very... problematic... for my plans. That cannot go unpunished. However, because I am undoubtedly fair and reasonable, only one of you shall pay.
Person A:...Pay with what?
Villain: One of you shall be punished thoroughly, in a rather generous way, if I do say so myself. It’s not death, though they may wish it was. Torture of course. And, I’ll even let you chose who receives this punishment. You have fifteen minutes.
And with that, the walk out, and the only exit sealed. The shackles released their limbs.
They both just stared at each other for a few seconds, then Person B spoke up.
Person B: It obviously has to be me.
Person A sputtered.
Person A: W-what no. I’m not letting you do that. No way in Hell.
Person B: They’ve hurt you before, and I will be damned if I let it happen again.
Person A: This is worse. This is worse and you know it. I’d rather chop myself in half then have you get a hangnail. This would hurt me more.
Person B was turned around, frantically searching for some way out, panicked by the realization that it didn’t exist.
Then they collapsed to the floor. Person A had knocked them out.
Person A: I’m so, so sorry, Person B. I can’t see you get hurt. I won’t let it happen. I love you.
Dear Fanfictions,
Stop saying that Percy will cheat on Annabeth.
Stop saying that Annabeth will cheat on Percy.
Stop saying that Clary will cheat on Jace. Stop saying that Jace will cheat on Clary.
Stop saying that Jason will cheat on Piper, or that Piper will cheat on Jason.
Or Isabelle and Simon, or Leo and Calypso, or Finnick and Annie.
Percy WON’T cheat. Annabeth WON’T cheat. Clary WON’T cheat. Jace WON’T cheat. Piper WON’T cheat. Jason WON’T cheat. Izzy WON’T cheat. Simon WON’T cheat. Leo WON’T cheat. Calypso WON’T cheat. Finnick WON’T cheat. Annie WON’T cheat. Hazel WON’T cheat. Frank WON’T cheat. Magnus WON’T cheat. Alec WON’T cheat. Ron WON’T cheat. Hermione WON’T cheat. Katniss WON’T cheat. Peeta WON’T cheat. Will WON’T cheat. Tessa WON’T cheat. Harry WON’T cheat. Ginny WON’T cheat. Emma WON’T cheat. Julian WON’T cheat.
These people are together because they have gone through Hell, Edom, Tartarus, The Games, War, and Death together. And they are still together. They adore, and support and protect each other.
They would not waste that for shit.
So forget it.
Sincerely,
Everyone
Let’s talk abou the TMI-TDA parallels!
Our main characters are:
- The sassy, golden haired character, who always has the perfect comeback, full of sarcasm, angst, and tragedy. Their parents died, leaving them as an only child, but they found their way to a family that takes care of them and the character thinks of them as their family. They grow up to become “the best Shadowhunter of their generation”.
- The artist who spent most of their time with their best friend. They considered their art to be like a diary, and they only willingly show it to people when they know they could trust them with theirs lives. They are their true self only when they are around the ones they love, otherwise they put on a mask. They often draw/paint their love interest.
They were ashamed as they fell in love, as the whole world told them it was wrong, but they couldn’t help it. They would and they have given up everything for the ones that they loved. Their family and friends are the most important thing in the world for them.
Am I talking about Jace and Clary, or Emma and Julian?
Okay, rant time: I’m sick of reading fanfictions where the pregnant character is so worried that their lover (who is the father, will leave them.) Like EXCUSE ME
•Percy’s fatal flaw is loyalty, he broke every rule imaginable to keep you safe. He fell into flipping Tartus with you. And let’s face it, you could go on a murder spree and he wouldn’t love you any less.
•Julian is willing to give up everything to love you, Emma.
•You were the last thing Harry thought of before dying... but Ginny, please don’t let him name the children.
•Jace was still madly in love with you when y’all thought you were siblings
•Izzy, Simon loved you, lost all his memories of you, AND THEN FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU AGAIN! CHILL.
•Tess, Will fell in love with you despite every possible problem that could arise happening.
•Katniss, there is no alternate reality where he would leave you.
Guys, just... chill.
