Jace broke off the kiss and stepped back with an exhale; before Clary could say anything, a chorus of sarcastic applause broke out from the nearby hill. Simon, Isabelle, and Alec waved at them. Jace...

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 the part where you say if I hurt her, you’ll kill me?””No” Simon said, “If you hurt Clary she’s quite capable of killing you herself. Possibly with a variety of weapons.

Fu Alec a parlare per primo. “Cos’è?” chiese guardando Clary.”E’ una ragazza” disse Jace. “Sicuramente ti sarà già capitato di vederne qualcuna, Alec. Tua sorella Isabelle, ad esempio

Yes, she’s bleeding to death upstairs, but I thought I’d avoid telling you right away, because I like to draw the suspense out.

Jace snorted so loudly that she turned on him with a frown. He wiggled his mud-caked fingers at her. His nails were black crescents. “Filthy inside and out.

Sarcasm is the last refuge of the imaginatively bankrupt.

I’m not going to do that.””of course you’re not.” Jace said. “because you live to torture me, don’t you?””Not everything, Jace, is about you.” Clary said furiously.”Possibly,” Jace said “But you have to admit that...

It’s not gray,” Clary felt compelled to point out. “It’s green.””If there was such a thing as terminal literalism, you’d have died in childhood,” said Jace.

It’s a girl,” Jace said, recovering his composure. “Surely you’ve seen girls before, Alec. Your sister Isabelle is one.

Don’t order any of the faerie food,” said Jace, looking at her over the top of his menu. “It tends to make humans a little crazy. One minute you’re munching a faerie plum, the next...

Shapes began to appear in the mist as it thickened. Clary saw herself and Simon as children, holding hands, crossing a street in Brooklyn,; she had barrettes in her hair and Simon was adorably rumpled,...

very funny my sarcastic friend

Jordan slammed the coatrack down on the ground and sighed. “if you were a vampire, this would have been a lot more useful.””yes,” said jace. “or, you know, just someone with a lot of coats.

We had and incident. I took care of it.””Really.” Jace’s voice dripped sarcasm. “Do you even know how to use that knife, Clarissa? Without poking a hole in yourself or any innocent bystanders?

I’m just saying that I think I chose to act the way I did in part because of you. Since I’ve met you, everything I’ve done has been in part because of you. I can’t...

Jace shook his blond head in exasperation. “You had to make a crazy jail friend, didn’t you? You couldn’t just count ceiling tiles or tame a pet mouse like normal prisoners do?

But I do.

Can I help you with something?”Clary turned instant traitor against her gender. “Those girls on the other side of the car are staring at you.”Jace assumed an air of mellow gratification. “Of course they are,”...

Good. Because I don’t need protecting.””I knew you’d say that.But the thing is, sometimes you do. And sometimes I do. We’re meant to protect each other, but not from everything. Not from the truth. That’s...

My heart is your heart,” he said. “My hands are your hands.

You know Jace Lightwood?” said Emma.”I– What?””He’s famous,” Emma said with obvious amazement. He’s the best Shadowhunter. The best.

Enormous? Did you just call me FAT? I am not fat. – Jace

You can’t just go around killing people.You’re right. You can’t go around killing people.

We need to talk. All of us About what we’re going to do now.””I was going to watch Project Runway.

Well, I’d certainly hate to interrupt your pleasant night stroll with my sudden death.”He blinked. “There is a fine line between sarcasm and outright hostility, and you seem to have crossed it. What’s up?

Usually I’m remarkably good natured. Try me on a day that doesn’t end in y.

Surely, she was too young to have so many ghosts.

She knew how breakups went from hearing other girls complain about them. First the pulling away, the gradual refusal to return notes or phone calls. The vague messages saying nothing was wrong, that the other...

The morning star isn’t a stat,” Clary said grumpily. It’s a planet. I learned that in astronomy class.””Mundane education is regrettably prosaic,” said Jace.

We came to see Jace. Is he alright?””I don’t know,” Magnus said. “Does he normally just lie on the floor like that without moving?

To be together at all. Because otherwise we can’t ever be around each other, not evenjust in the same room, and I can’t stand that. I’d rather have you in my life even as abrother...

I guess it’s true what they say,” observed Jace. “There are no straight men in the trenches.””That’s atheists, jackass,” said Simon furiously. “There are no atheists in the trenches.

I know that.

Is standing by the window muttering about blood something he does all the time?” asked Simon.”No,” Jace said. “Sometimes he sits on the couch and does it.

Oh, you know. Jace reminds me of an old boyfriend. Some guys look at you like they want sex. Jace looks at you like you’ve already had sex, it was great, and now you’re just...

NYC Institute has one. I’ll show you sometime if you want.It’s a date.It is maybe the least romantic spot in the Institute, by the way.You’ll make up for that, I’m sure.(Jeez, get a locked room...

Is there some particular reason that you’re here?” …”Not this again.””Not what again?” said Clary.”Every time I annoy him, he retreats into his No Mundanes Allowed tree house.” Simon pointed at Jace.

His eyes softened. “But it doesn’t change what we are to each other. It’s like there’s always been a piece of my soul missing, and it’s inside you, Clary. I know I told you once...

It wouldn’t be my move,” Jace agreed. “First the candy and flowers, then the apology letters, then the ravenous demon hordes. In that order.

And I remind you of your mother now? I have got to look into a manlier cologne.

As long as we’re together, I’m ready for anything.

And maybe I am a monster. I don’t know the answer to that. But what I do know is that even if there’s demon blood inside me, there is human blood inside me as well....

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,”...

Alec flushed. “I think it’s more important for you to go than me. You’re Valentine’s son, I’m sure you’re the one the Queen really wants to see. Besides, you’re charming.”Jace glared at him.”Maybe not at...

Later, when his father left him, the boy cried over his pet, until eventually his father sent a servant to take the body of the bird away and bury it. The boy never cried again,...
