Before the World Catches Up, by Mia_Zeklos
“You can’t guard my door all night,” Jace countered, but let Alec get him through his bedroom door with minimum protest.
“I will if I have to,” Alec said as he pushed Jace towards the bed. And he would, Jace realised; he’d stay by the door just to make sure that Jace felt safe, no matter what it cost him.
Adult, post-season 1 divergence. This is utter perfection, I’ve fallen in love with everything about it, from the bedsharing to the office sex.
Involuntary Ties, by Mia_Zeklos
“Finally,” Jace announced, pulling Alec down for a kiss before he’d had the chance to shush him.
Ever since almost all of the responsibility for the Institute had been passed onto Alec, they’d had very little time alone and every time they did manage it was a careful calculation of all the risks they had to take.
Adult, light bdsm. This is hot as burning.

Pairing: Jace/Alec
Summary: By the time he actually voiced it, the thought had been consuming Jace’s mind for weeks on end.
Notes: I was prompted on FF.net to write a fic in which Alec and Jace get caught, since I so often write fics in which they either take many a precaution to prevent that or narrowly avoid that fate. This is that fic. Warnings/tags inside.
This made me hold my breath – it manages to capture the intensity of their relationship and the horror of the trial/deruning perfectly. My heart still hasn’t recovered.
you want me to be yours and, i want you to be mine
i’ve been wanting to get back into video making since i switched computers, and today i saw a photoset on tumblr that inspired me to make this. this is dedicated to everyone in the @jalecsquad who are amazing people.
this video is from jace’s pov.
This is lyrical and perfect.
Closer
Pairing: Jace/Alec
Rating: E
Summary:
“Are you…having second thoughts?”
Alec didn’t know why that offended him. He was the one questioning whether bonding himself to Jace forever was worth a lifetime of unrequited…feelings…or not, so he couldn’t very well resent Jace for having his own doubts.
Notes: Happy birthday @shirasade!
Hope you had a good one 🙂
Your gift is finally here, let me know if I did justice to your prompt 😉
“Something
on your mind, almost-parabatai?”Alec, who
had been lost in thought sitting on his bed, startled, and he raised his head towards
Jace, who was gingerly entering the room.“Jace, we’re not supposed to see each
other until the ceremony,” Alec retorted.Jace
shrugged. “You looked pensive from the doorway.”Alec merely
nodded, looking down at his shoes. He was fine, everything was fine. He was
about to bound himself forever to his favorite person, his best friend, not even mentioning the best
Shadowhunter of their generation…so it’d be fine.
He just had to stop overthinking it.However,
said best-Shadowhunter also looked pensive,
as he nibbled at his bottom lip with his arms tightly wound around himself.“Is something
wrong, Jace?” Alec quietly asked.“No,” Jace simply
answered, shrugging again.Alec
frowned. “Are you…having second thoughts?”Alec didn’t
know why that offended him. He was
the one questioning whether bonding himself to Jace forever was worth a lifetime
of unrequited…feelings…or not, so he couldn’t very well resent Jace for having his own doubts. Still, maybe, maybe this meant that Izzy was wrong,
and that they weren’t as made for each other as everyone thought…
Perfect – full of feels and hotness, my favourite combination!
“Parabatai,” Jace said with unusual gravitas. “A pair of soul-bound warriors. Closer than most and ready to lay down their lives for one another. They are sworn to protect each other, to fight side by side. The runes they draw on each other are stronger and more powerful, and they can draw strength from each other during battle. They are the elite warriors of the Clave, have been for centuries. The oldest pairs were of the first generations, those who only had Raziel’s blood running through their veins, and nothing else.”
“So what, are they just some kind of super-soldiers?” Clary asked, a mix of curiosity and derision in her voice.
Jace snorted.
“Of course not. They’re lifelong partners.” He paused for a moment, the weight of his words filling the space between them. “The parabatai bond is the most sacred oath in the Shadow world. There is no human bond that compares.”
He looked at Alec, who was drawing runes with thoroughness on his arrows, on the other side of the training room. Gone was Jace’s usual cocky façade, and Clary was so taken aback by the raw emotion on his face that she almost missed his next words.
“Our souls are bound as one, and he is
the better half of mine.”
happy birthday @shirasade <3
This is a wonderful canon-divergence, combining many of my favourite things! <3
The Angel Do So To Me
Pairing: Jace/Alec
Rating: T
Summary: Alternative version of the ending of ‘Parabatai Lost’.
Notes: I rewatched The Scene the other day and i was hit by feels, so i had to! Also, this is the first thing i wrote in 2018, a fact that i was tagged to share by @shirasade, so thank you 😉 Whoever wants to do it too, just do it!
“The Angel
do so to me…”Jace’s voice
cracked and died in his throat. His hand trembled as it held Alec’s face, and
that was when Alec let out one last shaky breath, before slumping down to the
side.No, no, Alec…
This was
all his fault. He had done this to
Alec, his parabatai, the other much more honorable part of himself…Jace didn’t
think, not about anything, especially
about the people wordlessly watching the scene unfold. He simply leaned
forward, urged by the crippling, inexorable emptiness
growing inside of him, and placed his bleeding lips against Alec’s equally
chapped ones. He shut his eyes closed, hoping, praying that some of his life would transfer directly into Alec.
Their lips had never met like this, and Jace had no idea why he had thought of
it now, why he didn’t want to break
away from Alec, why Alec’s lips felt exactly right against his…
Be still my heart… This is so completely believable, the version of Parabatai Lost I dreamed of. <3
One Hell of A Soulmark
Pairing: Jace/Alec
Rating: G
Summary: Jace had always thought the universe had something profoundly against him.
Notes: I was writing other things then i stumbled into a prompt that was just too good to pass up, and i had to do it immediately! Enjoy 😉
Jace hated
to say that he was a very unlucky person. From dead parents to terrible foster-fathers
– which on their own had caused him a crap-load of existential pains – to the
very foundation of his being, the
universe seemed to have something profoundly against him.Everyone knew
that they had a soulmate; that somewhere, someone
was meant to be theirs forever. To find this fated person, a very effective way
existed…the first words your soulmate would ever say to you were marked on your
skin from the moment you were born. The most common words of first greetings,
however, were Hi or Hello or Nice to meet you, so there were admittedly many cases of people thinking
the wrong person to be their
soulmate.The fact
that Jace wouldn’t have that problem
was the only upside to having “Fuck
you!” written permanently on his skin.Otherwise,
that was all he needed to bring to the table when he proclaimed to be the
unluckiest person in the world. The fact that the immediate reaction to being
shown his mark was laughter or any of the most terrible jokes under the sun was
another incontrovertible proof.Fuck all of
them, to be honest. Especially his soulmate; they surely had a storm coming whenever they’d decide to
show up.Like any
other normal day, Jace was walking home after a long day working at his coffee
truck. A cute girl he had meant to offer a drink to had snickered as soon as
she had caught a glimpse of his mark under his sleeve; for that reason, Jace
was particularly cranky and absentminded. Further sign of his bad luck; of course that would cause him to slam
right into someone. And pretty hard
at that. Shit, better apolog-“Fuck you!”
Jace’s eyes
widened as they landed on a ridiculously tall (and okay, admittedly handsome)
guy, who was both glaring at him and wincing as he rubbed his chin.Until Jace’s
nose flared – he wouldn’t have been
surprised if smoke came out of it – as
twenty years of build-up frustration burst out of him all at once.“OH!” he
breathed dangerously. “SO YOU’RE THE
MOTHERFUCKER WHO GAVE ME THE WORST FUCKING SOULMARK EVER! WELL, GUESS WHAT, I
WILL NEVER LET THIS GO, THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN HAVING THE WORDS “Fuck
you!” PERMINATLY MARKED ON YOUR SKIN!”The
stranger’s – his soulmate’s – eyes
widened as well, before they turned into slits. “Well, imagine having that
fucking essay written on you in
caps-lock…”Jace froze.
Damn, shit, fuck…okay, maybe that guy had had it slightly worse than him, or maybe
a bit more than slightly…Jace gulped
as the two of them stared at each other for a long heavy moment – he really, really hoped that his soulmate would not
punch him in the face…But the guy’s
lips twitched upwards, and that was it. They both burst into laughter, so hard
that they were clutching their stomachs in the middle of the sidewalk a few
seconds later, people sending them weird looks from all directions. Not that
Jace cared; he couldn’t believe he had ever
cared about what others’ opinions were.And when
they finally calmed down, and his soulmate stretched out a hand towards him,
Jace’s smile wouldn’t go away.“So, well…hey,
hi, I’m Alec,” his soulmate introduced himself. His voice was very deep. Jace
thought that Fuck you would carry a
whole new meaning from now on, if he thought of it said in that voice.Jace took his
soulmate’s – Alec’s – hand. It was
very big and firm in his; he almost didn’t want to let go. “Hi…I’m Jace. I
guess I owe you a drink?”Alec nodded
cheerfully. “And I guess I do, too.”Alec fell easily
into steps with him, and Jace might’ve finally been ready to forgive the
universe. He had not fucked that one
up.

Oh dear god, this cracked me up so bad.
Beautiful Mess (¼)
Pairing: Jace/Alec
Rating: E (eventually, this particular chapter is T)
Summary: After Jace is set free from his dark parabatai-like bond with Jonathan Morgenstern, he has a hard time dealing with the aftermath. It’s clear to him what he wants, but is he worthy of it?
Notes: Merry Chritmas and Happy Holidays! This is my contribution to the Jalec Secret Santa, and it is for @myltzi !!

Absolutely wonderful future!fic – how I wish season 3 would bring us anything even half as emotionally satisfying!

Jalec fic for the Jalec Secret Santa 2017, hope you enjoy @morgandeeyue
Alec shrugs Jace’s shoulder off his shoulder.
Jace reels back. It’s been years of Jace initiating contact and Alec greedily taking it. Alec craves touch even though he’ll only admit it when Jace needles him about it, but only from people he explicitly trusts. Jace’s hand burns from where it slid off Alec’s shoulder.
“Hey, are you ok?” Jace asks, concern laced in his words.
“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be rude,” Alec hunches into his shoulders, moves his body away from Jace’s, “I’m Alec by the way.”
Amazing amnesia fic in which Jace is determined to become Alec’s friend, again – and maybe more…
