It Doesn't Hurt." "but My Eyes Do," Said A Coolly Amused Voice From The Doorway. Jace. He Had Come In So Quietly That Even Simon Hadn't Heard Him; Closing The Door Behind Him, He Grinned As Isabelle Pulled Simon's Shirt Down. "molesting The Vampire While He's Too Weak To Fight Back, Iz?" He Asked. "i'm Pretty Sure That Violates At Least One Of The Accords." "i'm Just Showing Him Where He Got Stabbed," Isabelle Protested, But She Scooted Back To Her Chair With A Certain Amount Of Haste.

How Can You Tell? That I Like Books, I Mean. The Look On Your Face When You Walked In, Somehow I Doubted You Were That Impressed By Me.

No," Jace Agreed. "we Don't Fly. We Break And Enter.

In All The World, You Are What I Love The Most.

Will Had Shrugged Once, Helplessly. He Had Almost Wished Jem Would Be Angry With Him. It Would Have Been Easier. He'd Never Felt So Small Within Himself As He Did When He Faced Jem's Expansive Kindness.

Memories Did One No Good, Not When One Knew The Truth In The Present. Will Was Beautiful, But He Was Not Hers; He Was Anybody's. Something In Him Was Broken, And Trough That Break Spilled A Blind Cruelty, A Need To Hurt And To Push Away.

Will: "nice Place To Live, Isn't It? Let's Hope They Left Something Behind Other Than Filth. Forwarding Addresses, A Few Severed Limbs, A Prostitute Or Two ..." Jem: "indeed. Perhaps, If We're Fortunate, We Can Still Catch Syphilis." "or Demon Pox," Will Suggested Cheerfully, Trying The Door Under The Stairs.

And So What? I Just Killed A Demon In My Own House, And You're Going To Be A Dickhead About It Because I'm Not Some Spoiled-rotten Rich Brat Like You And Your Sister?" Alec Looked Astonished. "what Did You Call Me?

Demons Feed On Death And Pain Madness," Valentine Said. "when I Kill, It Is Because I Must. You Grew Up In A Falsely Beautiful Paradise Surrounded By Fragile Glass Walls, My Daughter. Your Mother Created The World She Wanted To Live In And She Brought You Up In It, But She Never Told You It Was An Illusion.

It Was A Very Bad Idea. It Was A Terrible Idea. It Was The Worst Idea He Had Ever Heard. It Was Irresistible.

Does She Still Love You?" "i Don't Think So," Magnus Said Dryly. "she Wasn't Very Pleasant The Last Time I Saw Her. Of Course, That Could Be Because I've Got An Eighteen Year-old Boyfriend With A Stamina Rune And She Doesn't." Alec Sputtered. "as The Person Being Objectified, I ... Object To That Description Of Me.

Alec Would Have Said He Could Have Benefited From A Bit More In The Way Of Constructive Cowardice.

He Has Become A Worm. That Is What I Am Telling You." "i Don't Suppose It Would Be Possible," Said Henry Into The Silence, "to, Er, Step On Him?

Lightwoods,” Magnus Said. “they Always Have To Have The Last Word.

Will Began To Straighten Up, To Turn Away From The Bed. And As He Did, He Felt Something Wrap Tightly Around His Wrist. He Glanced Down And Saw Jem’s Hand Braceleting His Own. For A Moment He Was Too Shocked To Do Anything But Stare. “i Am Not Dead Yet, Will,” Jem Said In A Soft Voice, Thin But As Strong As Wire. “what Did Magnus Mean By Asking You If I Knew You Were In Love With Tessa?

It Was Will Who Broke The Silence. "very Well. You Have Me Alone In The Corrider-" "yes, Yes," Said Tessa Impatiently,"and Thousands Of Women All Over England Would Pay Handsomely For The Privilege Of Such An Opportunity. Can We Put Aside The Display Of Your Wit For A Moment? This Is Important.

It Could Have Been The Whole Thing Where You Stabbed Him.

It's Always Better To Live The Truth Than To Live A Lie.

Our Hearts, They Need A Mirror, Tessa. We See Our Better Selves In The Eyes Of Those Who Love Us. And There Is A Beauty That Brevity Alone Provides.” He Dropped His Gaze, Then Raised It To Hers. “i Would Give You Everything Of Myself,” He Said. “i Would Give You More In Two Weeks Than Most Men Would Give You In A Lifetime.

Oh, I Don't Know. I Prefer To Think That When They're At Home, The Silent Brothers Are Much Like Us. Playing Practical Jokes In The Silent City, Making Toasted Cheese-" "i Hope They Play Charades," Said Tessa Dryly. "it Would Seem To Take Advantage Of Their Natural Talents.

History Gets Written By The Winners.

You And Jace – You’re Not Quite Normal, Are You? I Mean, Not Normal Shadowhunters. There’s Something Special About You Both. Like The Seelie Queen Said. You Were Experiments.” He Smiled At Her Startled Look. “i’m Not Stupid. I Can Put These Things Together. You With Your Rune Powers, And Jace, Well…no One Could Be That Annoying Without Some Kind Of Supernatural Assistance.

Magnus Did Not Like To Go Near The Hotel Dumont If He Could Help It. It Was Decrepit And Unsettling, It Held Bad Memories, And It Also Occasionally Held His Evil Former Lady Love.

It Is What Is Left To Him," Said Will. "do You Not Recall What He Says To Lucie? 'if It Had Been Possible... That You Could Have Returned The Love Of The Man You See Before Yourself- Flung Away, Wasted, Drunken, Poor Creature Of Misure As You Know Him To Be- He Would Have Been Conscious This Day And Hour, In Spite Of His Happiness, That He Would Bring You Misery, Bring You To Sorrow And Repetance, Blight You, Disgrace You, Pull You Down With Him

Mene Mene Tekel Upsharin,' Jace Said With A Faint Smile. 'you Don't Recognize It? It's From The Bible, Vampire. The Old One. That's Your Book, Isn't It?' Just Because I'm Jewish Doesn't Mean I've Memorized The Old Testament.' It's The Writing On The Wall.

You've Always Been What You Are. That's Not New. What You'll Get Used To Is Knowing It.

A Great Sadness Welled Up In Magnus At The Sight Of Him. It Was Human To Age And Die, And Jem Stood Outside That Humanity Now, Outside The Light That Burned So Brightly And So Briefly. It Was Cold Outside That Light And Fire. No One Had Greater Cause To Know That Cold Than Magnus Did.

Speaking Of Hope, Did You See That Shot Alec Got Off With His Bow? That's My Boyfriend." He Beamed And Wiggled His Fingers; Blue Sparks Shot From Them. He Shone All Over. Only Magnus, Simon Thought Resignedly, Would Have Access To Sequined Battle Armor.

But The Person Who Stepped Out Of The Front Door Was Tall And Thin, With Short, Spiky Dark Hair. He Was Wearing A Gold Mesh Vest And A Pair Of Silk Pajama Pants. He Regarded Clary With Mild Interest, Puffing Gently On A Fantastically Large Pipe As He Did So. Though He Looked Nothing At All Like A Viking, He Was Instantly And Totally Familiar. Magnus Bane

You Don't Get It, Clary. You Don't Understand What It's Like To Live Always At War, To Grow Up With Battle And Sacrifice. I Guess It's Not Your Fault. It's Just How You Were Brought Up-

Everyone Has Choices To Make; No One Has The Right To Take Those Choices Away From Us. Not Even Out Of Love.

What You Said Was True. We Don't Live Or Love In A Vacuum. There Are People Around Us Who Care About Us Who Would Be Hurt, Maybe Destroyed If We Let Ourselves Feel What We Might Want To Feel.

You’re Not The Only One Who Calls Them That; The Other Downworlders Do The Same,” Said Will. “i Discovered That Fact While Investigating The Symbol. I Must Have Carried That Knife Through A Hundred Downworld Haunts, Searching For Someone Who Might Recognize It. I Offered A Reward For Information. Eventually The Name Of The Dark Sisters Came To My Ears.” “downworld?” Tessa Echoed, Puzzled. “is That A Place In London?” “never Mind That,” Said Will. “i’m Boasting Of My Investigative Skills, And I Would Prefer To Do It Without Interruption. Where Was I?

Her Eyes Met His, But She Looked Quickly Away; Entangling Gazes With Will Was Confusing At Best, Dizzying At Worst.

Of Course, The Guests Were Also Staring Because They Know Of My Relationship With Camille, And Are Wondering What We Might Be Doing Here In The Library... Alone." He Wiggled His Eyebrows At Tessa.

Luke Moved As Silently As Fog, While Maryse's Heels Sounded Like Gunshots On The Marble Floor. Clary Wondered If Isabelle's Propensity For Unsuitable Footwear Was Genetic.

You Disappear So Completely Into Your Head Sometimes," He Said. "i Wish I Could Follow You.

For As Is Often The Happenstance With That Which Is Precious And Lost, When You Find Him Again, He May Well Not Be Quite As You Left Him.

That Was Enterprising," Will Sounded Nearly Impressed. Nate Smiled. Tess Shot Him A Furious Look. "don't Look Pleased With Yourself. When Will Says 'enterprising' He Means 'morally Deficient.'" "no, I Mean Enterprising," Said Will. "when I Mean Morally Deficient, I Say, 'now, That's Something I Would Have Done'.

Watching Jace Hug Isabelle, She Tried To School Her Features Into A Happy And Loving Expression. "are You All Right?" Simon Asked, With Some Concern. "your Eyes Are Crossing.

I’d Rather Have You In My Life Even As A Brother Than Not At All—

I Know," He Said, Looking Down At Himself Self-consciously. "i Am Not-i Mean, I Look-" "beautiful," She Said, And She Meant It. "you Look Beautiful, James Carstairs.

A Massive Fir, It Rose To Nearly Touch The Ceiling At The Far End Of The Ballroom. When Will Asked Charlotte How On Earth It Had Gotten In There, She Had Only Waved Her Hands And Said Something About Magnus.

I Know There Are Monsters On This Earth,' Said Tessa. 'you Cannot Tell Me Otherwise. I Have Seen Them.

As Long As There Is Love And Memory, There Is No True Loss.

(jace) "is There Anything Special You Want To See? Paris? Budapest? The Leaning Tower Of Pisa?" Only If It Falls On Sebastian's Head, She Thought.

Looking At Her, He Was In London Again. He Saw The Gaslight And Smelled The Smoke And Dirt And Horses, The Metallic Tang Of Fog, The Flowers In Kew Gardens. He Saw A Boy With Black Hair And Blue Eyes Like Alec's. A Girl With Long Brown Curls And A Serious Face. In A World Where Everything Went Away From Him Eventually, She Was One Of The Few Remaining Constants.

Will Suspected Jem Was In Fact Cleverer Than He Was Himself - But He Lacked Will's Tendency To Assume The Absolute Worst About People And Proceed From There.

Miss Cecily," She Gasped, And Then Her Eyes Went To Will. She Clapped A Hand Over Her Mouth, Turned, And Bolted Back Into The House. "oh, Dear," Said Tessa. "i Have That Effect On Women," Will Said. " I Probably Should Have Warned You Before You Agreed To Marry Me." "i Can Still Change My Mind," Tessa Said Sweetly. "don't You Dare-," He Began With A Breathless Half Laugh.

Even If You Haven't Had The Exclusivity Conversation, They're Still Going To Be Mad If They Find Out You're Dating Someone They Know And You Haven't Mentioned It. It's A Dating Rule." "well, How Am I Supposed To Know That Rule?" "everyone Knows That Rule." "i Thought You Were Supposed To Be On My Side." "i Am On Your Side!

Were You Ever Actually Going To Leave New York, Or Were You Just Saying That To Get Her To Finally Make A Move?” “clary,” Said Luke, “i Am Shocked That You Would Suggest Such A Thing.

Sebastian Sighed An Exaggerated Sigh And Swung The Door Shut. Clary Stared At Jace. "what The F-" "language, Fray." Jace's Eyes Danced. "relax.

Oooh, That Was Fun." "that Does It," Said Jace. "i'm Going To Get You A Dictionary For Christmas This Year." "why?" Isabelle Said. "so You Can Look Up 'fun.' I'm Not Sure You Know What It Means." Isabelle Pulled The Long Heavy Mass Of Her Wet Hair Forward And Wrung It Out As If It Were Wet Washing. "you're Raining On My Parade." "it's A Pretty Wet Parade Already, If You Hadn't Noticed." Jace Glanced Around.

You Could Dress It Up With A Sequined Headband,” Magnus Suggested, Offering His Boyfriend Something Blue And Sparkly. “just A Thought.” “resist The Urge, Alec.” Simon Was Sitting On The Edge Of A Low Wall With Maia Beside Him, Though She Appeared To Be Deep In Conversation With Aline. “you’ll Look Like Olivia Newton-john In Xanadu.” “there Are Worse Things,” Magnus Observed.

He Looks," Simon Had Once Said To Isabelle, "like He's Thinking About Something Deep And Meaningful, But If You Ask Him What It Is, He'll Punch You In The Face.

I Believe In Good And Evil," Said Jem. "and I Believe The Soul Is Eternal. But I Don't Believe In The Fiery Pit, The Pitchforks, Or Endless Torment. I Do Not Believe You Can Threaten People Into Goodness." Tessa Looked At Will. "what About You? What Do You Believe? "pulvis Et Umbra Sumus," Said Will, Not Looking At Her As He Spoke. "i Believe We Are Dust And Shadows. What Else Is There?

James, You Are All The Family I Have. I Would Die For You. You Know That. I Would Die Without You. If It Were Not For You, I Would Be Dead A Hundred Times Over These Past Five Years. I Owe You Everything, And If You Cannot Believe I Have Empathy, Perhaps You Might At Least Believe I Know Honor--honor, And Debt--

Maybe He's Lonely. Sebastian Can't Be The Greatest Company." "we Don't Know That. He Could Be Absolutely Fantastic At Scrabble," Said Magnus.

I Like That Stick Of Yours," He Said. "it's A Staff." Jem Swung Out To Knock Another Automaton Sideways. "made By The Iron Sisters, Only For Silent Brothers." [...] "anyone Can Sharpen A Stick." "it's A Staff," Jem Repeated, And Saw Will's Quicksilver Smile Out Of The Corner Of His Eye.

I Am A Man, And Men Do Not Drink Pink Drinks. Now, Be Gone, Woman, And Fetch Me Something Brown." Jace Said. "brown?" Said Isabelle. "yes. Brown. It's A Manly Color. See? Alec Is Wearing It." Jace Said. "well, It Was Black But It Faded." Alec Said. "well, I Can Always Fix It Up With Something Sparkly," Magnus Said, Holding A Sparkley Headband. "resist The Urge, Alec, Resist The Urge." Simon Said.

It Was Strange How Your World Could Shift On Its Axis And Everything You Trusted Could Invert Itself In What Seemed Like No Time At All.

You're Not Gay, Are You?" Simon's Greenish Color Deepened. "if I Were, I Would Dress Better.

He Found Himself Wanting To Write Poetry About How Her Blue Eyes Were Like Starlight And Her Hair Like Night, Because "night" And "starlight" Rhymed, But He Had A Feeling The Poem Wouldn't Turn Out That Well.

Jem’s Eyes Had Widened, And Then He’d Laughed, A Soft Laugh. “did You Think I Did Not Know You Had A Secret?” He’d Said. “did You Think I Walked Into My Friendship With You With My Eyes Shut? I Did Not Know The Nature Of The Burden You Carried. But I Knew There Was A Burden.” He’d Stood Up. “i Knew You Thought Yourself Poison To All Those Around You,” He’d Added. “i Knew You Thought There To Be Some Corruptive Force About You That Would Break Me. I Meant To Show You That I Would Not Break, That Love Was Not So Fragile. Did I Do That?

I Like In Books When We Start The Book And You Really Don't Know How It's Going To Turn Out.

Molesting The Vampire While He's Too Weak To Fight Back, Iz? Jace Asked. I'm Pretty Sure That Violates At Least One Of The Accords.

But That's What You're Doing, Isn't It? You're Part Of The Fight Just As Much As The Shadowhunters On The Ship—and I Know You Can Take Some Of My Strength, I've Heard Of Warlocks Doing That—so I'm Offering. Take It. It's Yours.
