                   “I’m sorry...I’m sorry that I don’t remember more,” Simon said, regretful of whatever he couldn’t recall. He didn’t necessarily understand why, but a sharp pain tugs at his heart just thinking of the young woman in front of him being unhappy. “If it’ll help me remember you, I’ll go to Shadowhunter Academy. I’ll do whatever...as long as it’ll make you feel better.” What Simon did know was that he would do anything if it made Isabelle happy. 

              “So, you and Lewis, huh?” Jace shrugged, lips turning up in a mischievous smile. Although he was still mourning the loss of the love of his life, the loss of her memories, he could still be happy for his siblings and their blooming and flourishing relationships. “I dunno...I sorta called that coming since day one. I mean...we had to scrape his jaw off the floor when he first met you.” 

       at first he wasn’t sure he’d heard her right, but by the time he turns & sees her, he can’t contain the smile & he just nods. ‘ yeah -- ‘ he manages. ‘ yeah, of course I will. ’ he reaches for her, pulling her into a tight hug, grateful that he gets to be a part of something so PRECIOUS to their family, but also feeling acutely aware as to why it has to be him. he hugs her a little big tighter, closing his eyes as he reminds himself that while it feels like the walls are closing in, their family continues to GROW, that there’s so much good left, & he’s incredibly glad his sister will have this chance, remembering the agony she had felt when Simon was taken from her before, when those memories had been bartered away to save them. ‘ I love you, Iz, ’ he murmurs. ‘ of course I’ll do it. ’

"yeah, i know that now." steve still couldn't believe he'd been suckered into eating food from the faerie realm. they all knew that it was dangerous and while they hadn't been in the realm when they ate it, the effects were still something he wouldn't ever forget. "back then, though, we didn't really know. or if we did we probably had too much to drink and didn't care. at least it all happened while at the institute and not anywhere else."

"Simon is a good person, Isabelle." He couldn't have been happier for her. After seeing her with Meliorn and knowing that seelies weren't to be trusted, he had hoped that Alexander's sister would find someone that would appreciate her talents and the person she'd become. Magnus was also happy to see another downworlder involved with someone from the Institute. He and Alexander shouldn't be the only ones. "I know your brother may not approve of it, but I'm happy for both of you. I can see just how much you care for each other. But we all fall for that one person who's not suited for us."

“if you’re looking for your bracelet, I don’t know where you put it.” he said absent mindedly as he laid on a chair, legs over the table and a couple of books on each hand as he read a page from each. jace was a hard student when he wanted to be, and the library was the perfect place to occupy his mind.
