Summary
Her mother was unreasonable in her protectiveness.
An artist by day and a drill sergeant by night, that was how Clary would describe her mother. And they did share some interests. While her mother’s style was very different, Clary also shared her love of art. In fact that was about the only time should could stand to be around her mother these days, when they were painting together.
Most people only ever saw Jocelyn as a painter, a free spirit. They never saw her training her daughter night after night, the curtains drawn, the furniture pushed to the edges of the living room as they attacked one another with knives. Training knives, different from the real ones Clary carried with her everywhere. Her mother had trained her to defend herself, and insisted she keep the training up and sparred with her daughter six out of seven nights a week.
So was it any wonder that on night number seven, Clary took any opportunity to escape that she could?
In which Clary has a slightly different but still non-shadowhunter upbringing, a very dedicated street art career, and meets Alec as her first introduction to the shadow world a few months before her inheritance.

Summary
Face blank, Alec steps forward without a moment of hesitation to stand in front of the Inquisitor, his people parting respectfully before him to clear his path as he goes. He comes to a halt a few paces in front of the Clave representative and the guardsmen she’d brought from Alicante. A coiled leather whip hangs from the belt of the man at her left shoulder.
Shoulders drawn back and hands clasped behind his waist, Alec meets Imogen Herondale’s steel gaze. The words are ritual and although Alec has said them many times before, never before has he meant them less.
“That it may please the Angel to bring back into the way of righteousness all such as have erred, I place myself before you for Discipline.”
Imogen Herondale smiles.

Summary
Alec reads the email twice through before letting out a breath. He feels anticipation thrumming through him at the invitation and it doesn’t vanish no matter how hard he tries to shove it down.
He’s looking forward to meeting Magnus in person. While there’s still some anxiety lurking underneath it all, it feels almost inevitable.
Truth be told, he’s always felt drawn to the High Warlock. Magnus had been the only downworlder to acknowledge the change in leadership first. He’d been surprising magnanimous in wishing Alec a successful tenure and providing his contact information if he ran into any problems.

Summary
To say that Alec is nervous would be an understatement. If there's one thing he hates it's being unprepared, and no amount of rifting through the database or wracking his brain has yielded any insights as to why the High Warlock of Brooklyn called on the New York Institute this morning to request a meeting on shortest notice.
[AU. Magnus comes to Alec with a request and together they
go on an adventureset about untangling a sticky political situation.]- Language:
