Summary
Kouta thought that he’d known everything about Darkwick.
They were tricksters and safety all in one, pulling the strings behind just about every incident about anomalies no matter how small. They only helped themselves and would use anyone they could to assure it stayed that way, all while preaching that they wanted to help those in tight spots caused by anomalies. They lied to those people, using them as puppets to take whatever they wanted.
But they were one of the biggest powers amongst the supernatural world, and that, in the end, made them safe. Safe enough he thought it might be worth it to put some level of trust into their faculty, if nothing else.
Turns out, even he hadn’t learned everything.
He really should have known better.

Summary
When Magnus was called to the Institute late one night, he wasn't entirely sure what he expected to happen. Late night calls often meant injured nephilim or some other serious threat. But there was always a chance the new Head had called him in about the wards or some other random shadow world business. Hell, maybe he just wanted a meeting to assert his dominance the same way the last Heads had liked to do.
What he hadn’t expected at all was to find himself suddenly neck-deep in the biggest magical, political mess since the Dragon Wars.

Summary
For as long as there’d been Shadowhunters roaming the earth, using the powers granted to them by the blood of angels that flowed through their veins, there had been dragons. Wonderful, stunning creatures of magic who, for some reason that no one knew, bonded to Shadowhunters and Shadowhunters alone in one of the only shows of magic the Clave approved of.
It was a ritual when a Shadowhunter had their first rune ceremony for it to be followed by a trip to Idris. There, in the sacred nesting grounds where all dragons went to lay their eggs, a Shadowhunter would walk through those already hatched and those waiting, and they would find their dragon. Sometimes they’d find them in the youths playing, the two drawn together with a bond considered even more sacred than that of parabatai. Other times, the touch of the Rider would be enough to draw a dragon from their egg.
It was rare for a dragon to reach adulthood without bonding to their Rider.
It was unheard of for a Shadowhunter not to have a dragon.

Summary
Everyone has their own resolution for the s02e18 break up. Here's mine. It comes in moments, not grand gestures.
"What would he have done, Magnus?" Jace asked coolly, one foot already out the door. "If it had been you, if you were the one to mess up, what would he have done?"
They both knew the answer to that, and it broke Magnus' heart all over again.
"Stayed," Magnus finally whispered, shattering whatever illusions he'd been clinging to since the day he left Alec at the infirmary.
"He would have stayed."

Summary
There’s a deep weariness in Alec’s eyes when he finally looks up to meet Catarina’s gaze. Magnus, on the other hand, turns away to glare at the wall behind Alec’s head, the line of the warlock’s shoulders as razor-sharp as the war paint masquerading as eyeliner on his face.
Alec takes a deep inhale, pushing back the hurt and tilting his chin up ever so slightly in quiet resignation as he breathes out slowly.
“In order for true love’s kiss to break the curse,” and here Alec’s voice is carefully even against the incipient tightening of his throat, “is the love required to be mutual?”
