Instead of replying, Alec reached down and took Magnus’s hands. Magnus let Alec pull him to his feet, a questioning look in his eyes. Before he could say anything, Alec drew him closer and kissed...

And therefor,” said Magnus “We must go.” Will blinked at him. “Go where?””Don’t worry about that right now, my love.”Will blinked again. “Pardon?

Magnus held up a warning finger. “Don’t overstep yourself, biscuit,” he said, and moved past them, disappearing into the crowd around the portal.”Biscuit?” said Simon.”Believe it or not, he’s called me that before,” Clary said.

If you do not intend to help us,” she said, “then leave this house. Dawn is coming.””I am not a vampire.” Magnus said. “I shall not disappear with the light””You will if I kill you...

Magnus began to be truly alarmed. Will’s voice would have shaken, betraying that his cruelty had been part of his playacting, but his son’s laugh was that of someone genuinely delighted by the chaos erupting...

Once he asked me what I thought had turned me gay.””I hope you told him you were bitten by a gay spider,” said Simon.

If no one in the entire world cared about you, did you really exist at all?

Excellent. I’ve been told I have a lovely, melodic reading voice.” He flipped the book open to the front page, where the title was printed in ornate script. Across from it was a long dedication,...

The witchlight made his skin paler, his eyes more intently blue. They were the color of the water in the North Atlantic, where the ice drifted on its blue-black surface like the snow clinging to...

Love potions? For Will ‘erondale? ‘Tain’t my way to turn down payment, but any man who looks like you ‘as got no need of love potions, and that’s a fact.””No,” Will said, a little desperation...

Nice work in their, Herondale, setting the place on fire,” Gabriel observed. “Good thing we were there to clean up after you, or the whole plan would have gone down in flames, along with the...

I take your hand, brother, so that you may go in peace. Will had opened his blue eyes that never lost their colour over all the passing years, and looked at Jem and then Tessa,...

Dear me,” said Will, and he took another bite of his apple. “Is it because I’m better-looking than you?

…If you’d like to go back in there and try kicking him, I recommend aiming upward and a bit to the left–

I can keep a perfectly good eye on Simon, thank you. He’s my neophyte Downworlder to mock and boss around, not yours.

No wonder you and Jace like each other so much. You’re both crazy walking arsenals.

We’ve been here before, haven’t we? Last time you were starving, I gave you my blood. It was a little homoerotic, maybe, but I’m secure in my sexuality.

Sharp are the arrows of a broken heart.

What would you know about it?” he said. “Love, I mean.”Dorothea folded her soft white hands in her lap. “More than you might think,” she said. “Didn’t I read your tea leaves, Shadowhunter? Have you...

There she is.” Alec spotted his sister and waved her over, looking relieved. “Over here. And watch out for the phouka.””Watch out for the phouka?” Jace repeated, glancing toward a thin brown-skinned man in a...

For that was love, wasnt it–to burn bright in someone else’s eyes?

I was going to put what birthday it was on the sign,” he said, “but Jace said that after twenty, you’re just old, so it doesn’t matter anyway.”Jace stopped with his fork halfway to his...

He slid his stele across the table toward her. “Use it.” “No,” Clary said, and pushed the stele back across the table at him. Jace slammed his hand down on the stele. “Clary-” “She said...

Will: Have you ever seen what happens to someone with demon pox? First it lies dormant. One begins to turn yellow and green. Then the swelling sets in -Jem: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS...

Always when Will did something to protect Tessa, Jem thought it was for his sake, not for Will’s. Always Will wished Jem could be entirely right. Each needle prick had it own name. Guilt. Shame....

You could have had anything else in the world, and you asked for me.”She smiled up at him. Filthy as he was, covered in blood and dirt, he was the most beautiful thing she’d ever...

Herondales.” Zachariah’s voice was a breath, half laughter, half pain. “I had almost forgotten. No other family does so much for love, or feels so much guilt for it. Don’t carry the weight of the...

The meek may inherit the earth, but at the moment it belongs to the conceited. Like me.

So it’s true. You can walk in sunlight. I thought perhaps it might have worn off.””If I feel the urge to burst into flames, I’ll let you know.

He looked back at her, and when she saw the look on his face, she saw his eyes at Renwick’s, when he had watched the Portal that separated him from his home shatter into a...

Life is a book and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read.

I love you, Clary,” he said without looking at her. He was staring out into the church, at the row of lighted candles, their fold reflected in his eyes. “More than I ever–” He broke...

She made an impatient noise. “By the Angel, you don’t know anything about your kid, do you? Do you even really know how vampires are made?””Well, when a mommy vampire and a daddy vampire love...

I learned to play the instruments of war,” he said, “and paint in blood.

Beauty is harsh.

The Herondales are a rather infamous line, as you probably know. Many of them heroes, some of them traitors, so many of them brash, wild creatures consumed by their passions, whether it be love or...

Andwhose fault is that?

There might not be so much of a difference between the side of Light and the side of Dark as you suppose. After all, without the Dark, there is nothing for the light to burn...

A steady flame unwavering & honest

And I believe in the importance of stories.

You are mortal. You age, you die. If that is not hell, pray tell me, what is?

Will-,” Tessa began but it was too late, Church made a yowling noise at being woken, and lashed out with his claws. Will began to swear. Tessa left, unable to hide the slightest of smiles...

I don’t care,” Clary said. “He’d do it for me. Tell me he wouldn’t. If I were missing-” “He’d burn the whole world down till he could dig you out of the ashes. I know,”...

Clary wasn’t sure what she’d expected -exclamations of delight, perhaps a smattering of applause. Instead there was silence, broken only when Jace said, “Somehow, I thought it would be bigger.”Clary looked at the Cup in...

Is this some manly bonding thing I can’t be a part of? Are you getting matching haircuts?

But Jace”, Clary said. “Valentine taught him more than just fighting. He taught him languages, and how to play the piano””That was Jocelyn’s influence.” Sebastian said her name unwillingly, as if he hated the sound...

But God knows, I don’t want anyone but you. I don’t even want to want anyone but you.

He tried not to hug her too hard, even though she was kind of hugging him too hard. In fact, she was pretty much crushing his rib cage. He didn’t mind, though.

And tell them what?” Jace said witheringly. “That invisible people are bothering you? Trust me, little girl, the police aren’t going to arrest someone they can’t see

Come in. And try not to murder any of my guests.” Jace edged into the doorway, sizing up Magnus with his eyes. “Even if one of them spills a drink on my new shoes?””Even then.
