[avashida.livejournal.com]

Title: City of Shadows
Rating: Eventual R
Warning(s): Swearing, violence (no more than demon-hunting in canon), eventual slashiness
Couple: One-sided Simon/Clary, eventual Jace/Simon, Magnus/Alec.
Summary: When Simon Fray follows a blue haired boy into a storage room, he has no idea how weird his life is about to get.


( “Or is he?” Jace asked softly. The velvety murmur was worse than Isabelle’s snapping or Alec’s frustration, and he still hadn’t looked away from Simon. “Have you had dealings with demons, little boy? Walked with warlocks, talked with the Night Children? Have you – ”

“Did you run out of alliteration?” Simon interrupted. “ ‘Night Children’ – what is that, vampires, probably, could you not think of any verbs beginning with v? Verbalize, vent, venerate, vacuum – that’s a good one, have you vacuumed with vampires – ” )
