James: OH, SO WHEN EMMA CARSTAIRS MAGICALLY SAVES HER PARABATAI FROM DEATH WHEN RUNES WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO WORK IT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE IN LOVE. BUT WHEN I, JAMES HERONDALE-

you know what would be really funny? if james didn't notice it either. sylvain noticed, cordelia noticed. thomas had to beg alastair not to comment on it. the parents noticed. the only people completely oblivoius to it are james and matthew. and no one knows how to approach the subject

You know what I want to read now? I need James being absolutely jealous ( in a platonic way). Like James and Cordelia were supposed to return to London after meeting Matthew at his last stop but now they are meeting Matthew and HIS MAN. I think Sylvian's reaction if any to James and Matthew will be longing and grief for what he lost. But James? He is meeting his parabatai after 9 months and suddenly Matthew isn't that free anymore? Matthew is also still learning what his relationship with Cordelia could look like so he avoids spending too much time at Curzon street unless Thomas is also there. And James/Matthew train at the institute but Sylvian is also there. And Matthew also is going to spend time reparing his bonds with his parents/introducing Sylvian and they spend time at Hell Ruelle with Anna and Ari, at some point James just explodes. Now that the wretched bracelet isn't there, he feels the friendship and longing and misses his parabatai 100 fold ( which is his normal, james is an emotional guy at his core) and he is so jealous that Everyone else gets time with his parabatai but him. He is also scared that Matthew will leave again. He wants to hold him close and hug him for years and just be. I need feral james. I really do.

wdym james wouldn't let tessa throw away the shirt he was wearing when matthew asked him to be parabatai even when it was way too small for him and then dug through the trash to get it back when she did throw it away. like that's the sweetest most james herondale thing ever
