    Summary

    Coincidentally, the physical effects of romantic and sexual desire match up very closely with the physical effects of fear. But it's not a problem-- it's not like anyone is going to be able to hear the way your heart speeds up, or see the minute dilation of your pupils, are they? They'd have to be some sort of Superhuman to do that.

    And what's worse than a Superhuman hearing that quick pulse and seeing those dilated eyes and concluding that you're in love with them?

    A Superhuman hearing that quick pulse and seeing those dilated eyes and thinking you're terrified of them.

    Summary

    “My abuela always said. ‘You like because, and you love despite.’ You like someone because of all of their qualities, and you love someone despite some of their qualities.”

    There’s a beat of silence. A heavy pause. “So what does that mean?”

    “You know what it means, sweetheart.”

    Percy and Nora are tired of their bosses being miserable and decide to do what any sane overworked assistants would do - set their bosses up.

    Luckily for them, their bosses’ secret history is about to make this a lot easier.

    Summary

    Jace blinks, peering at the loft in vague stupefaction. “This,” and Alec’s parabatai’s voice sounds like he’s dragging each noise out from his exhausted mind and forcing it out before he can forget what word he just discovered. “Isn’t the Institute?” The final phrase comes out as a question.

    Alec tilts his head in puzzlement, glancing at his brother as if wondering how he could possibly consider that Alec had taken them there instead of here. “No?”

    Alec’s head moves back to level and he narrows his eyes instead. “We said we were going home after patrol.”

    The ‘ergo, we are home now’ wasn’t said, but it was obvious in implication.

    Summary

    Magnus advanced steadily. There was no compassion, sympathy or mercy in his blank eyes. His outfit and makeup gleamed under the summer sun, reminding Alec of creatures who wrapped their poison in the brightest colors possible.

    (Alec and Magnus try to kill each other, then try to live with themselves.)
