Hey yourself! <3 Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked them and I hope you enjoy this one too and sorry for being so atrociously late with it ;x. I kind of used both quotes, because they seemed to fit well ;D
Sometimes when he was alone and unglamoured in the mundane world, Jace was amazed at just how unsupervised everyone was. Of course, there were cameras everywhere. He had always known that – the Institute had access to most of them – but the purpose here was to make people feel safe rather than watched.
Jace closes his eyes. He can’t say it. If he gets his way, he’ll never have to say it. He’ll live through a successful NFL career being the dashing bachelor Jace Wayland, the guy no woman can sink her claws into. Unfortunately, his parents are asking when he’s going to bring home a nice girl to settle down with, Luke thinks a steady relationship would be good for his temper, and he can never escape the sorority sisters at events who want him to call them back.
Jace swallows, “Please, Clary. Do this for me? It’ll help us both.”
Teen, AU. Jace and Clary fake-date, because Jace has problems facing certain truths… This is the college AU I didn’t knew I needed.
‘Charlie,’ Matteusz said as they lay in bed, blinking lazily at the back of Charlie’s profile, just an outline in the darkness. ‘Why do you never want to fuck me?’
Adult, pwp. Of course this fandom has alien dick fic – and it’s super hot. 😉
“I had it under control.” Audrey doesn’t need a man to save her.
“I know you did. I just don’t like bullies.” He gives her a shy smile, and suddenly she likes him a whole lot more than she did. A guy who looks like him could easily have been a bully.
“Well, thank you, Captain America.”
One of the USO girls realizes there’s more to Captain America than meets the eye… I love outside POVs, and this one is just lovely.
A Jalec Vampire Academy AU. Jace’s a Moroi, the queen’s grandson, Alec’s his dhampir guardian. More of a set-up than a real story, just something that kept nagging at me ever since I saw the movie!
Warning: I’m reading the books in Czech, so if I get any of the terms wrong, sorry! (This is the ficlet @shadowandbones )
For @adidas-queenb who asked me to describe Alec and Jace’s emotions during their 109 fight. I hope you don’t mind I turned your ask into a ficlet?
… he’s furious, he’s so furious, his life’s falling apart, everything’s falling apart, and it’s Jace, it’s Jace, his parabatai, the man he’s given everything, the man he’s trusted the most, the man he’s in– it’s Jace who’s doing this, destroying everything they’ve built together over the past 10 years, Jace’s tearing it – him! – apart, piece by piece, for a girl, for someone they all met only a week ago, for her Jace’s betrayed the Clave, betrayed him, attacked him – and he’s going to make Jace pay, he’s going to show Jace how it feels, he’s going to…
… he’s blocking and punching and ducking, trying to stay on his feet, and he’s barely keeping up because he’s never seen Alec so angry, so enraged, Alec’s fury’s burning like acid through their bond and it hurts, it’s agony, it’s wrong, so wrong, how come they letit get this far, how did he let it get this far, how come when he promised himself, he swore to himself that he would never hurt Alec – to love is to destroy, Jonathan! – Alec’s his parabatai, Alec’s… everything, how come…
… there’s a blade at Jace’s throat and everything freezes for a moment…
… how/when/why did it happen?!
Do it. Do it! I don’t wanna be alive if we’re on different sides, Alec.
… but Alec doesn’t do it, Alec sits down hard, shaken and shocked, and Jace gets up, shaken and shocked, and they can both feel it, their bond’s trembling as if someone’s plucking at it, tearing at its strands, unraveling them slowly…
I’m begging you, my parabatai my brother. Please, Alec, come with me.
If he were being honest with himself, he likes getting a reaction out of her, period. Boyle is definitely right; he wants her attention, wants her to look back at him the way it took him a very long time to realize he’d been looking at her.
Adult, porn battle fic. This is hot and sweet and funny, just like them.
For a moment there, Alec had almost said it out loud. Hearing Jace said those unthinkable four words, – I love you too – even if he didn’t meant them quite like that, was enough to completely throw him off, his carefully constructed barriers all but crumbled in the face of painful, uncontainable hope.
But Jace hadn’t meant it like that and his foolish hope was as quick to die down as it had been to rise. Still, it left a trail in its wakening and Alec still felt the lingering effects of it as he struggled to maintain a conversation with his parabatai. I just thought you’d think that-
“What?”
That it’s true; That I’m love with you; That I’m gay. They were all truths, and all words Alec bit back and swallowed down almost visibly so, uttering a dismissal in their place and feeling it rest upon his tongue as heavy as lead: Whatever.
His eyes betrayed the feigned carelessness of his words, drawn as they were to Jace’s features, helpless but to fall down to his full lips and wonder. I love you too, Jace had told him, and even while he said it and a foolish part of Alec’s heart allowed itself to hope, the rest of him had thought No, you don’t. Not the way I love you.
Now Jace settled for his dismissal, his lie, accepting to pretend everything was okay even though it clearly wasn’t and Alec never thought it would be again. He had exactly what he thought he wanted. Jace was dropping the subject, letting it go, this brief raw moment between the two of them coming to an end with a simple set of words.
In that very moment, Alec realized he didn’t want it to end, taken by a burst of courage he surged forward, cutting Jace off mid-sentence as he reached for his shirt and pulled him upwards and forward.
“If you want to follow Mom’s ord– ” the words died on his parabatai’s lips, swallowed by Alec’s kiss.
Jace’s mismatched eyes were open wide at first, the shock of what was happening keeping them so for a while longer before he caved. They were standing in the middle of the dais, literally anyone could walk in and they would find the parabatai duo in the most compromising of embraces. Knowing what it must have took for Alec to do so, Jace didn’t have it in him to stop it and, were he to be honest with himself, it wasn’t like he wanted to either.
The kiss was rough, carried by Alec’s unique combination of inexperience and determination, a press of lips as first that evolved into something more with one heavy exhale. Alec kept waiting for Jace to push him away, the moment he finally realized the blonde simply wouldn’t, he melted.
A quiet whimper came up the back of his throat, the emotion of the moment unable to be bore quietly. They were kissing and Alec was smiling into it, smiling wide and pressing the sharp line of his smile into Jace’s slowly moving, welcoming lips.
This, Alec though brightly, loosening his hand on Jace’s only to rest it openly over his parabatai’s heart
– there was no surprise in realizing the beat of it mirrored his own
– This is how I love you.
It was his first kiss, and already Alec knew he’d never want to kiss anyone else.
This just makes me melt. Seriously, that last sentence alone – perfect… *happy sigh*
