    Summary

    Gustave, since he lost half his arm, his body had felt foreign to him, like he was off balance all the time (even literally sometimes). He had read stories of people using tattoos as a way to reclaim their autonomy, to reclaim themselves.

    That was what he was hoping this would do for him.

    And Verso, his Tattoo Artist, accidentally puts a little of his painter magic into Gustave's tattoo.

    Summary

    Gustave dies at Renoir's hand on the Stone Wave Cliffs. Then Gustave opens his eyes to the sound of a cane striking stone at the edge of the Continent. He dies again, he opens his eyes again. Again, again, and again, until he gets it right.

    A slow-burn Verstave time loop from Gustave's perspective. The content warning is for time loop-typical death and violence.

    Summary

    SPOILERS FOR THE GAME, LIKE SERIOUSLY

    Verso let Gustave die on those cliffs, but he couldn't bring himself leave him there.

    He should know that despite good intentions, his sentimentality has never ended well for him.

    This becomes even more evident to him as he watches the picto he contained Gustaves chroma in, dissolve into his skin.

    or

    Verso now has his own personal ghost- Gustave

    and Verso is the only one who can hear or see him

    Summary

    Monoco’s station was just as it had always been, Gommage or no. The painted curves of it flowed and trailed, one long brush stroke after another. The snow stayed, and so did the grandis, the gentle petals of iron, the curve of playful trains.

    Only Monoco had left. Only they had changed. And then they’d returned, and for what? To scavenge the chroma of corpses long gone to rest? To scrape the paint from a hundred abandoned creations?

    Verso was tired.

    “Yes,” he said, “I could have saved him.”

    Or: Maelle brings Gustave back, and accidentally ties his soul to Verso. This changes things.

    Summary

    FUTURISTIC AU
    ALL HUMAN AU

     

    Long into the future, people live to incredibly old age with the help of quite new cloning technology. At the Institute ‘products’ are created. To some they serve as spare parts, to others they become long longed for children. The government and a small majority of the public have silently accepted the ethically questionable industry.

    Alec Lightwood works at the Institute because he has no other choice and helps as many of the children there as he can. Knowing that due to his badly ailing health his time to do so is incredibly limited. When a chance to save the life of a little girl named Madzie comes, Alec runs. Leaving behind everything he’s known for the child he’s looked after since she was created. On the way they run into Magnus, who has secrets of his own.

    Will Magnus manage to help them? Will they survive until they make it to safety? And what happens when unwanted feelings make themselves known, complicating matters further?

    Summary

    Jace blinks, peering at the loft in vague stupefaction. “This,” and Alec’s parabatai’s voice sounds like he’s dragging each noise out from his exhausted mind and forcing it out before he can forget what word he just discovered. “Isn’t the Institute?” The final phrase comes out as a question.

    Alec tilts his head in puzzlement, glancing at his brother as if wondering how he could possibly consider that Alec had taken them there instead of here. “No?”

    Alec’s head moves back to level and he narrows his eyes instead. “We said we were going home after patrol.”

    The ‘ergo, we are home now’ wasn’t said, but it was obvious in implication.

    Summary

    When a request comes through from the Vienna Institute, asking for assistance in partnering with their downworld, Jace jumps at the opportunity to take Alec's place.

    The chance to see Oberon and Qinemru again isn't one Jace is going to squander, even if he is uncomfortably aware that this parabatai knows precisely why he is willing to run there and far away from the ghosts that haunt New York.

    It was going be the break that he desperately needed. It would be a chance to have more fun with them, and do some good work in the name of his parabatai.

    It was going to be perfect.

    Summary

    The sensation of blood-soaked metallic dirt beneath his cheek is insubstantial and fleeting, overlaid and then replaced with the smooth slide of cheap cotton and Alec jerks back into being entangled in the rough weave of Institute-standard sheets, agony shrieking down his side.

     

    In which the world burns the first time and Alec and Magnus break reality (to burn it down again the right way).

    Summary

    The first time Alec sees a pride parade, he doesn’t know what it is.

    It isn’t the big NYC Pride March; it’s a small parade. Or, at least, Alec will eventually realize it’s small for New York. 

    He never finds out whether the march is completely impromptu or a gathering of a few different neighborhoods or even something else entirely, but on a steamy June day three months before his fourteenth birthday, Alec stands alone, partially hidden in the mouth of a Brooklyn alley, and watches six hundred rainbow-garbed mundanes dance their way through the streets.

    Summary

    Alec immediately regrets the instinctive shift of his feathers, knowing how many Downworld throats have been slit open on nephilim wings, knowing how many times Magnus and his council must have seen that happen. But what’s done is done and moving them back would do nothing. Alec comes to a halt at a respectful distance from the High Warlock and waits. His arrival was without notice and is certainly unwelcome. By both nephilim and Downworld custom the next move belongs to Magnus alone.

    “Tell me, Alexander Lightwood,” Magnus begins icily, and it’s no surprise that he knows Alec’s name. “What brings the Head of the New York Institute to my door, unarmed, runes inactive, and completely alone?”
