the ghost of his last laugh;

at four years old, andrew doe woke up from a nightmare and raised his arms to his foster mother to be comforted. instead, she slapped him across the face and told him to stop crying

at five years old, andrew doe squeezed his pillow when he was scared because no one was there to comfort him

at six years old, andrew doe hid under his bed and trembled with terror while his foster father yelled and screamed about a toy car andrew forgot to pick up before he got home

❝ i enjoyed the meetings, too. it was like having friends. ❞

Dear Alec,

I once told you that you were not trivial. It broke my heart that you would think so I should have known then that one day I must tell you this.

It was never your fault that I didn’t talk to you about my past. Centuries are not easy to speak of, and they were not easy to live.

There have been people I loved who thought that because I laugh so that I don’t weep or break, that I was trivial. There have been people I loved who learned more of me, and thought I was evil incarnate who must be destroyed. I didn’t know how to make those I loved think of me as more than nothing, or less than a devil.

I have seen the hearts of Warlocks go hard and fragile as glass over time, seen them shatter and destroy the world around them. I have seen hatred and evil in Shadowhunters and Downworlders and Mundanes. I never dreamed that I would meet a son of the Angel who could love me. Once I met you, so many feelings seemed made new: love, hope, and fear you would see me for what I truly was, and turn your face away.

That you, steadfast and clean-hearted and clear-eyed, would be right to turn away.

I never doubted your heart. Only my place in it.

I hoped for a long time to meet someone like you.

I didn’t know I had almost stopped hoping, until you came. Whether you choose me tonight or not, whether you want me for always or never again, thank you for being all that you are. Alexander Gideon Lightwood, archer boy who never misses, my hope past hope.

You will know me better after you read these stories. I don’t know what you will think of me then. I only hope you know this one truth about me, with all the good and all the bad. I spent days dying in chains thinking you would never know this, so let me tell you now.

I will love you as long as I live. However long or short my life may be, it seems to me that I could never find time enough to love you as you deserve. Loving you made me believe in eternity.

Aku cinta kamu.

— you are my dearest punishment.

because we all know that’s the only thing i care about 

SPOILERS !!!

the title of the first book, the red scrolls of magic, correlated to the book because the cult followed the red scrolls of magic. The next book therefore, is most likely to have something major to do with the book of the white, owned by magnus bane, and according to the title - lost. 

the lost book of the white specializes in binding and unbinding spells - spells that tie the soul or untie the soul to the body (x)

the eldest curses are as we know, children of princes of hell (i don’t think it can be just any greater demon) 

magnus is one, tessa is another

magnus and hypatia’s relationship didn’t sound too serious so the only way he would have told her about his father is if she was also the child of a prince of hell 

i’m guessing every prince of hell chooses the one child they think is best fit to be their eldest curse (the title is derived from these lines) : 

O, my offence is rank, it smells to heaven; It hath the primal eldest curse upon’t, A brother’s murder.

which basically says that the worst sin has been committed worse than the slaying of cain’s brother

what i’m basically guessing is that the plan is some sort of vengeance on angelic power since all the princes of hell were originally angels. 

now back to the lost book of the white !!

this book is for spells about binding and unbinding souls. i think in the lost book of the white, we’re going to see some plan in action that has to do with the souls of these eldest curses being at risk. 

for one, cassandra clare once answered that magnus’s soul was in danger in the lost book of the white (x)

i think the plan is to use the souls of the eldest curses (due to their power) for vengeance, tbt to when asmodeus wanted to take magnus’s immortality - and possible soul - in cohf 

though i do not think that she would leave tec hanging because it’s meant to be a separate series you can pick up and read without having to read any of the main series. 

maybe she succeeds with only some of the eldest curses because magnus and tessa and Hypatia are alive and well after qoaad.
