Predictions for Love Triangle in Clockwork Princess

Will and Tessa
Sophie and Gideon
Cecily and Jem (if he doesn't die)

Will and Tessa
Cecily and Gabriel
Jem and Sophie
or Tessa dosn't end up with either Jem or Will, I think it would actually be good if that happend cuz if she chose one of them that would ruin Jem and Will's friendship

haha i do not think Jem would let Will just take Tessa i mean his whole life at the instite Will has always outshined him and Jem may seem or say he dosn't care but i bet you he does and for once he wants to get the girl. I bet you Jem is gonna put up a fight he's not gonna let Death control him. :)


True true. Taking that into hand I think that it will end with Tessa turning out to be as mortal as the next person (always wanted to say that) or that Magnus will work some hocus pokus with his magic fingers and make whoever Tessa chose immortal as well, and if it is Will she picks then there is a good chance of this happening because I think Magnus has a little crush on this particular shadow-hunter.

I agree with you wholeheartedly

no i don't think magnus has a crush on will in clockwork prince...ya i think it was clockwork prince he said that will wasn't his type


1. Jem dies, or maybe becomes a silent brother and leaves Will and Tessa to it?
2. Will finds somebody else to love
3. Tessa dies (gasp! is she really immortal?) |:

OMG so true I have got to agree with you, though if tessa had to get with somebody it should be Will, hes way cooler than Jem( Jem should die)

Second: Clare said that she believes that who Tessa does or does not end up with will be a surprise to the reader, but fitting to the story. She also said that the end would be "bittersweet." So she either leaves them both or seems to be leaning towards a certain one for most of the story then changes her mind at the last second.
Third: Jem is awesome, yes, but I am most certainly NOT team Jem. Jem is best friend material: steady, comforting . . . Will is more than that. Throughout the book, Bridget's songs tend to reflect tessa's moods or thoughts (Nate trying to kill her, unrequited love, etc.). At the end, remember how when Jem announces their *SPOILER* engagement, Bridget sings a song that says that true love's name is "Sweet William"? I think that that shows where tessa's heart may be leaning, even if she won't admit it to herself because of Jem.
Fourth: Tessa continuously has to remind herself that she loves Jem, and remind herself NOT to think of Will. Again: best friend versus the love interest.
Fifth: Clare says that Jem loves tessa. She also says that Will loves Tessa in that way which can never be found again in a lifetime. So the question that, I believe, will resolve where Tessa's heart will end up with, is which one loves THE OTHER most: Will or Jem? And if they're the same, what will Tessa do?
TEAM WILL!

I love the idea of Jem and Cecily together, I think that would be amazing. But can Jem love Cecily like he loves Tessa?
Clockwork Prince was one of the most amazing books I've ever read, and I have no doubt Clockwork Princess will be just as good. Apparently, Clare has said we will be surprised at who Tessa ends up with, but that it will be a suitable end. So who knows?

Anyhoo, Im kinda team Jem even though I don't think Tessa will end up with any of them. And personally i think its smart to marry your "best friend". I would want too.


I thought you said this perfectly I agree completely about Will and Tessa! Its an impossible situation, but what she has with will is true love they have so many similarities, such as their love for books and poetry. The passion between them is so real and she will never be able to get him out of her mind. I feel bad for Jem but the love she has for him is different more of a protective friendship love but not the passion and tangible love she has with Will. That scene with her and will at the end broke my heart, they have to end up together!!!!
Also I didn't notice that about the songs, but now that you pointed it out your so right!

I think she is... there is a part in CoFA where magnus is thinking of a girl with brown hair and a serious face, and he thinks, "in a life where everything was changing, she was one of the few remaining constants."
So, I think she is immortal... and faeries can't lei... I mean she could have twisted the truth but how do you twist "you won't age past youth?"

Well stated. I have to agree with this. I do need to go back and re-read The City of Glass to find Tessa. Do you remember what page or chapter? Also, I believe Jem is going to die without giving Tessa to Will and Tessa wont feel right being with Will after the fact. Thats my prediction. I just cant wait to see what happens.
I think I might go insane waiting for CP2...

Yeah, I agree with you. I'd rather see him die than be rejected and end up broken hearted.
What I'm worried about is that when Jem dies, "he'll take all that's human about Will with him" (as Charlotee said in Clockwork Prince). And... well, I just can't see Will moving to Tessa after Jem dies even though Jem gave Will his blessing. Because to Will, Tessa will always be the girl his best friend loved.


The strange cook with jacked up songs makes me think but i feel like the author is using her like the quotes, to just add a little deeper thought to what is happening in the book. On the other hand CC does have a wonderful way of working each characters stories in and out and over eachother

:O what would alec say? XD"
probably: "you dated her too" XD


Jem? no way, he doesn't have a mean bone in his body! I'm team Will though too. And I mentioned something like that about her being a ghost. Wouldn't it be odd? Maybe she dies but she's immortal so she doesn't really die? Then Cassandra leaves us with a heartbreak but not so much that we totally hate it. It would be an interesting twist...

But if Tessa is immortal it also means she can't have children, which means that she and Will can't be together. There's going to be a twist in this storyline when we find out exactly what Tessa is.
I always thought it was obvious that Jem would die and that Tessa and Will would be together but if Clare is saying that it will be a surprise who she ends up with, then I'm completely confused!
And I can't believe we have a whole year to wait to find out!

*SPOILER ALERT* (for Clockwork Prince): I must say, the kissing scene between Jem and Tess was HOT!!!!!! I have the audiobook, so I listened to that part about 3 or 4 times before moving on. I'm still Team Will, though. He is the ultimate hottie, right alongside Jace. (I listened to the balcony scene over again too)




ps: it really annoys me when people say jem should die and tessa and will can be togather.

I am team Will but i think that it will be too harsh for Jem to die, i mean that would be predictable and just harsh. Yes Jem dies, Will/Tessa's problem solved but what about Jem? His innocents can kill me, i personally hope that Jem finds out the passionate bond between Tessa and Will and let Tessa go. Sometimes to love is to let go....


that would really interesting if he was a bad guy in the end. hmmm... but i don't think so. i am team will too, forever always!

yay!!!! another will admirer!!

love is an understatement. i absolutely adore him!!!

Well, 'you won't live past youth' could mean either she dies or she stays imortal in her teenage years.

hmmmm..... maybe. but she does appear in the end of city of glass. i don't think she could be a ghost as cassandra didn't mention ghosts in any of her books if i'm not mistaken

I am most definitely Team Will! and Jace, but I believe I like Will better. Who do you like better? Will or Jace?

Tessa did show in the mortal instruaments..She was in City of glass at the end when everyone is celebrating and Clare looks over and see Magnus talking to a woman in white I believe..Clary thought to herself that she looked familiar. We just weren't given a name to the face..Clare answered that question on her web-site.....

love is an understatement. i absolutely adore him!!!"
I do too, WILL!!!! IS THE BEST! I must say we are kind of sad falling in love with a book character, but still who gives a crap

Also I KNOW Tessa will slip up and kiss Will in Clockwork Princess, (as she did in Prince) so there will be too many inconsistencies in her relationship with Jem for her to be confident that she made the right choice in saying yes to him.
Thoughts?
