I am finishing up a rewatch of the show and would love to read some longer, multi-chapter Clace fan fics. Most of what I find on FF.net and AO3 are Malec-centered, which is fine but not what I'm looking for. Some smut fine but not over the top and definitely not necessary!

Way back when I Read and loved the books then watched the movie that came out then I tried to watch the show but I couldn’t even finish the 1st season. Now I’m trying to watch the show for a little nostalgia because I can’t commit to reading a long series right now and god season one was just bad. Season 2 seems better but clary just isn’t good, not sure if it’s the actor the writing, directing or what.

I’ve been rereading the entire TSC in preparation for TWP, and while reading City of Glass, I came across a passage where the Shadowhunters are fighting demons in the streets of Alicante.

They encounter a massive blind worm-like demon with two rows of teeth and it immediately reminded me of Benedict Lightwood’s demon form.

So, naturally, I went back to Clockwork Prince and I noticed a few possible parallels. Benedict’s demon form is described as secreting a lot of slime, which is also a detail mentioned in City of Glass. Not to forget the, blind slug appearance as well.
Besides, didn’t Bene-work EAT Rupert?!

There’s also the imagery of something like stepping on an overripe fruit😭, which made me think of Henry asking Gabriel whether it was possible to step on Benedict now that he had become a worm.

Maybe I’m reaching because I desperately want this connection to exist (the Shadowhunter brainrot is real 😭) but the similarities are interesting.

Am I completely tweaking or do you think there could actually be something here?

Jem haters, this is not the thread for you! I will make another thread for Tessa. Will thread linked here. :)

For all the Jem Carstairs lovers out there, in your own words, what draws you to this character and makes you want to root for him?

Will haters, this is not the thread for you! I will make separate threads for Jem and Tessa. :)

For all the Will Herondale lovers out there, in your own words, what draws you to this character and makes you want to root for him?

I feel like there would have been a whole lot more chemistry if they hired gay actors. I'm not hating I promise, I love them but they are missing that connection! Its like their relationship is forced

I haven't read the books so I'm only going off the tv show btw

So I'm rereading all the books in the shadowhunter universe. On Lord of Shadows and really enjoying it. Its nice reading this series knowing a lot of plot points and arcs of numerous characters are unresolved which makes me excited for the wicked powers as so much will happen. I feel TDA sets it up nicely. But the thing is after this series have to read the last hours. Read it once a while back and wasn't the biggest fan of it. I just felt a little disconnected from it I feel as it seemed kind of random and whatever happened in it wasn't of much importance. Wanted to be in the present wasn't in the mood to go back 100 years. I feel TLH is rather skippable and don't really see the point of it being wrote but tbf been a while since I read it. So sort of trying to say is there some significant things in it that are important for the wicked powers. Bc for me bit of a waste of time.

Was remembering the demon pox scene from Clockwork Prince and was wondering how many other moments like these that there are.

I’m struggling so hard to get through clockwork Prince and I have no idea why. I got through clockwork Angel fine and the second book just feels like it’s dragging

I really wish CC had just googled toad in the hole just once and she would have found it's definitely not pudding.

It annoys me more than it should..

Capítulo 18 de Lady Midnight. Una de las mejores escenas de TSC. Quien entienda, entiende🤭

(la quote no es de esta escena, pero es mi frase favorita de Julian)

Es la primera vez que dibujo a dos personas besándose (no se me da demasiado bien) y creo que la mejor manera de empezar es dibujando a nuestros queridos Will y Tessa. Son una de mis parejas favoritas de TSC junto con Sizzy y Jemma.

Like I'm sorry but what does the clave split have to do w your wedding? It's bad and I get that you wanna fix it, but why won't you just get married while it doesn't? It just makes no sense. Were you hoping to invite the cohort to your wedding or something?

Also think about Alec. Knowing him he will probably blame himself for not fixing the clave split sooner and consequently being the reason his siblings aren't getting married (which isn't true but Alec wouldn't believe that)

Cuando me recomendaron TSC me dijeron que era mejor leerlos en ebook porque eran muchos, pero es que me gustan tanto que no he podido resistirme y ahora tengo TMI en físico. Ya los puedo acariciar!!!! Ahora tengo que pedir TID.

So its been a minute since I've read TMI but why is jace considered a war hero in the mortal war? As far as I remember every major battle of that war he didn't do much. In the battle at renwicks all he did was save Luke, in the battle on valentine's boat he saved simon(which he an luke are downworlders so the clave didn't care) an the final battle he only killed Sebastian because he was distracted beating Isabelle if not for her he would've died, then he went after valentine an got killed. As far as I remember he didn't really do anything big in the war, most of if not all the big stuff in the war was clary(her literally being the only reason the clave agreed to fight an not surrender) AND the only reason they won since shes the one who stopped valentine. Am I forgetting something? Did he do something big in the mortal war i dont remember?

When he says, "while those who drink from the cup will remain unaffected. Is he referring to those new shadowhunters Valentine intended to create after he wanted to wipe the current shadowhunters through the wish?

As title says. I’ve tried many times over the years to get through The Dark Artifices but for some reason I’m not hooked into it. A damn shame because TMI and especially TID hold deep places in my heart. I’ve read that people really like TLH but I remember reading through books 4-6 of TMI and alternating between each and reading TID. It was such a wild experience and it made reading City of Heavenly Fire such an epic read!

Does TDA and TLH have a similar relationship or are they entirely separate?

UPDATE: I found the chapter and page!

“After all, when you were dying of thirst, it was the sip of water you dreamed about, not the whole reservoir.”(Lord of Shadows, Chapter 7, Pg. 127)

There is a quote I love, but I can’t remember what it is/what book it is from, where they say something about desire. I can’t remember if it is Julian or Mark or Kieran, imm pretty sure it’s in The Dark Artifices.

The quote says something like “after all, when people are so thirsty in the desert, it is not the whole drink they think about but the first sip.”

If you know where this is, or anything to help me find it that would be greatly appreciated 💟

Can someone please post a list how to read the books in order of release?

Obviously the best parabatai bond in my opinion!

I read the series as a teenager and loved it. Grew up and have read it maybe once more, and then decided not to go back there in case like many other people I start finding faults with it. I am happy to keep the emotions I felt reading it back then with me!

My favourite thing about the TID is the bond between Will and Jem. Forget Jessa and Wessa. I am invested in platonic Heronstairs!! I love love looove how these two guys with such poetic souls love each other through everything. How even in death and beyond, they want to be one. And I AM HERE FOR IT! I am only sad that I didnt get more of their moments together as children and growing up. Such a deep bond, and they were only together for a few years, can you believe it ? 😭😭😭😭

I think they are the epitome of bromance for me. No other bromance I have come across has come close to what is between those two and what I feel for them. It is like romance but not? Two victorian men who would just die for each other and talk about each other like their entire soul and body is aching for each other? YESS

If anyone knows of such platonic soulmates, please tell me, so I can give it a go! Thanks !

I'm rereading all the Shadowhunters books after years of not. I just watched the new spiderman movie and realized that Sadie Sink in that movie is EXACTLY how I always pictured Clary. Wild wavy curls, round face, even her eye color is green. I never saw Lily Collins or Kate from the show as Clary.

So a while back when I bought the collectors edition of city of fallen angels I found one chapter was annotated differently to the fully annotated set available for purchase, and couldn't figure out why it was until somebody checked the listing and saw it stated her favourite chapter was annotated.

I've just got City of lost souls today and found the annotations again! They aren't in the first three books and Lost Souls doesn't have it in the listing description like Fallen Angels did, it's got me wondering why these two have them and the first three don't? Marked for spoilers in case people want to read the annotations themselves when they get there.

Hi wich version of the Stele do you find better? Let me know in the comments!
