The Merry Thieves of Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter world.
Rather dark academia these Shadowhooligans you might say? James with his head in every library and a shadow haunting him at every corner. Matthew with his blinding smile and his Dorian Gray facade. Christopher with his scribbles of formulas and burnt clothing. Thomas with the songs he plays in his head, the poetry that will only be spoken to one person. ~ “Please recall that I am the pale neurasthenic one and you are the stern heroic one,” Matthew said to James. “It is very tedious when you mix up our roles.” “So what is my role?” said Christopher. “Mad inventor, of course,” said Matthew promptly. “And Thomas is the one with a good heart.” “Lord, I sound dull,” said Thomas.” ― Cassandra Clare, Chain of Gold
