City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments, #2)

by Cassandra Clare

chanting in a demon language that sounded like the crackle of flames.

“Just because you said dragon demons were extinct—” “I said mostly extinct.”

Jace reminds me so much of Will its actually wild

Every once in a while one of them would speak, but since it was all in Japanese with Chinese subtitles,

Why are we watching Anime w Chinese subtitles fam

“More chibis,”

We love a chibi

Since Hodge’s death, Jace had tried boiling the plants’ leaves

Wait I thought he wasn’t dead?

And here he leaned forward and said something to Bat so quietly that Maia didn’t hear it.

Instigating shit with wolves just like William

“Do you mean a lycanthrope or some other sort of Downworlder?” The boy arched his light eyebrows. “You all blend together to me.”

Jace wtf

“I think it’s a little too late for him to need protection,” said the boy, “if he’s already dead.”

Why does this not feel like Jace

As if we could be bothered just because some stupid cub decided to splatter-paint himself all over your alley—”

This cannot be Jace

“I can’t believe you know someone named Freaky Pete,” said Simon.

Simon is hilarious honestly

Clary thought suddenly, This is why he came here, to this place. Not just to start a fight, but to get to Luke. Because Luke would understand.

“That’s sweet,” said Maia. “That he loves his sister like that.” “Yeah,” Simon said. “It’s precious.”

Lmao i feel like everyone knows deep down that theyre not related

“Somehow what?” Jace was several strides ahead. “Colder,” said Luke.

Damn

“The Soul-Sword. The second of the Mortal Instruments. It’s used in trials. It compels Shadowhunters to tell the truth.”

“You did the right thing, Maryse,” said Luke. She turned on him, eyes blazing. “Don’t patronize me, werewolf. If it weren’t for you—”

This bitch, how dare you blame Luke because he told you to not believe Valentine and you chose to anyway

“You would be stringy and hard to digest.” “But kosher,” Simon pointed out cheerfully.

Hahahahahaha

“Looks like a bite mark,” said Jace. “What have you been doing all day, anyway?” “Nothing.” Beet red,

Ohhhhhh shit

Inquisitor Herondale’s stiff collar dug into her throat as she turned to look at Maryse.

TF I BEG UR FINEST PARDON

the sound of a terror more profound and powerful than the ancient Rune of Silence.

Do you honestly expect me to believe that you and your brother were motivated to come to the Bone City because of a distress call,

This bitch getting on my damn nerves

“All of us. About what we’re going to do now.” “I was going to watch Project Runway,” said Jace. “It’s on next.”

BYE

“A demon army?” said Alec. “This guy is big on armies,” observed Simon.

Simon theyre gonna kick you out lmaooo

“She said she doesn’t want it,” said Simon. “Ha-ha.” “Ha-ha?” Jace looked incredulous.

Lmaoooo

“And Madonna wants me as a backup dancer on her next world tour.” Alec looked puzzled. “Who’s Madonna?”

Lmaooo

a faerie could make you dance until you died with your legs ground down into stumps,

Jace stood up, knocking his chair back violently. “You are not taking Clary to the Seelie Court without me and that is final!”

Dang chill baby

as long as another of the Nephilim was willing to take your place.” “Where are we going to find another— Oh,” Alec said meekly. “You mean me.”

Magnus just has the hots for Alec

“That you freed a possible criminal by trading away your brother to a warlock who looks like a gay Sonic the Hedgehog

Haahahahhaahh Simon, Jesus Christo

Honestly, Clary, if you don’t start utilizing a bit of your natural feminine superiority, I just don’t know what I’ll do with you.”

ON GOD

“Simon’s not an ordinary mundane. He can be trusted,” Jace said, startling them all,

She put the finger into her mouth with a wince. The sprites were cute, but they had a mean bite.

Clary you are so dumb sometimes

what blood runs in your veins, Jonathan.”

“and your brother’s is the Angel’s own gift. Your father made sure of it, when your brother was a child and before you were ever born.”

Shes not talking about Jace here, but her actual bro

“Forever’s an awfully long time.” Jace raised his eyebrows. “I knew it,” he said. “You want to kiss me, don’t you?”

They kill me, i hope they become best friends

“I guess it’s true what they say,” observed Jace. “There are no straight men in the trenches.”

She felt the brush of his lips, light at first, and her own opened automatically beneath the pressure.

WOAH WOAH WOAH I THOUGHT WE WAS DOING A PECK

she stared at Jace in blank astonishment—what did he feel, did he feel nothing? She didn’t think she could bear it if he felt nothing.

“What we feel—what I feel—it’s sickening to you?”

Jace right now yall think ur bro and sis jfc

“It’s not often you get to see someone drool,” Jace observed. “Especially with such total abandon. Mouth wide open and everything.”

Jace please hahhaha

“Alec’s been there a long time, and—” “I doubt he minds, somehow,” Jace said,

Damn he must know

just to get drunk and pass out in some gutter,” said Jace. “I must say, I’m disappointed in the little fellow.”

She thought of the look on Simon’s face—and then of him almost running to get away from her,

Its prob luke, maybe her mom is awake

His body tensed under her fingers, every muscle tightening, his skin hard as iron. “—all right?” she finished.

Clary ur so fking stupid sometimes

“I’m Magnus Bane,” he went on in a soothing tone, stretching out his ringed hands.

Lord knows Magnus hasn't had a good nights rest since Jem, Will, and Tessa lmao

“What’s its name?” she asked, moving away from the door. “Nakir.”

IS THAT WILLIAMS BLADE

I’m not exactly sure what it is you think you’re doing, calling on me every time one of you has so much as an ingrown toenail that needs clipping.

Im screaming

“We’re not dating,” Alec said again. “Oh?” Magnus said. “So you’re just that friendly with everybody, is that it?”

OMGGGGGGGGG THE BEANS HAVE BEEN SPILLED EVERYWHERE OMG

“Nothing,” chorused Clary, Simon, Alec, Magnus, and Jace, in surprising and probably never-to-be-repeated unison.

I honestly love these people

and he’d never seen a ship where everything was painted black. Jace wondered where his father had gotten it.

Wtf are you doing Jace

“you are in fact familiar with Milton’s Paradise Lost?” “You only made me read it ten or fifteen times,” said Jace.

I love paradise lost and it seems like Clare does too
