“If you’re trying to distract me from talking about my feelings, you’re not being very subtle about it.” He touched her face. “You know I make speeches. It’s okay. You don’t have to make them back. Just tell me you love me.”

“I’m not trying to distract you.” She held up her hand and wiggled the fingers. “There are a hundred trillion cells in the human body,” she said. “And every single one of the cells of my body loves you. We shed cells, and grow new ones, and my new cells love you more than the old ones, which is why I love you more every day than I did the day before. It’s science. And when I die and they burn my body and I become ashes that mix with the air, and part of the ground and the trees and the stars, everyone who breathes that air or sees the flowers that grow out of the ground or looks up at the stars will remember you and love you, because I love you that much.” She smiled. “How was that for a speech?”

To the golden boy! 💛 To the book character that made me rise my love standards maybe a little too much and who taught me that no matter how broken me might feel, we can always heal, we can learn to love again and with our whole heart. That the love from our family and friends is one of the most beautiful and powerful things we can have 💕 And that family is not blood, it's the people who have our backs. Who taught me to be brave and strong for the people we love, but that it's okay to be vulnerable too. That you can be a warrior and an artist and a nerd, everything at the same time. And the most important thing that he taught me: that we can overcome our traumas, we can heal from the pain caused to us and grow to be a good person ♥️🗡️🎹🦁

Jace’s eyes danced, and Clary felt that familiar surge inside her chest, that pull she had felt since the first time she’d ever seen him. She couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment she’d fallen in love with Jace, but there had always been something about him that reminded her of a lion, a wild animal unfettered by rules, the promise of a life of freedom. Never “I can’t,” but always “I can.” Always the risk and the surety, never the fear or the question. —Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

Many people hates Jace, but he has a special place in my heart for everything he taught me while reading his books in my teens. A broken child who grew up to be a happy man, I hope Cassie gives him his happy ending with the love of his life when the last book it's written 🥺♥️

He drew back to look at her. With his free hand he traced her cheekbone gently. She had missed that, his gentleness. It was one of the things that had made her fall in love with him in the first place—realizing that this scarred, sarcastic boy was gentle with the things he loved.
