Simon stepped between them. I’m not going to let you fight with each other.And what are you going to do about it if . . . Oh. Jace's gaze trailed up to Simon’s forehead, and he grinned reluctantly. S...
So you're trying to make her happy despite the fact that the reason she's unhappy in the first place is you, said Simon, not very kindly. That seems contradictory, doesn't it?Love is a contradiction,...
You and your name-dropping. 'I knew Michael'. 'I knew Sammael'. 'The angel Gabriel did my hair'. It's like with biblical figures.
Alec keeps sending me annoying photos. Lots of captions like Wish you were here, except not really.
