Hi. I haven't written in a while but I've had this idea bouncing around in my head for a while.

So these are letters are from Magnus to Tessa. Set after the events of Clockwork Prince I think but possibly set a bit after that. There is no one left from the time in London apart from Magnus and Tessa.


My Dearest Tessa,

Where are you? It's been years since we last talked. What have you done in all this time? I know I didn't always seem like the one to get concerned but you're all I have left of the old days. We're all we have, together. I just need to know you're alright. I know you can take care of yourself but believe me old habits die hard. Please just let me know you're alive and well somewhere, that's honestly all I ask.

Your friend,

Magnus Bane

Dearest Tessa,

You still haven't replied but I'm hoping you're just being stubborn and not lost forever somehow. I think I keep writing because it keeps me sane. I don't know what you think but there is something about living in the 21st century which is driving me a little crazy. I don't know what it is but things don't seem as simple as they were back when the world was younger, when we were younger.

Please be alright somewhere, where ever you are.

Your friend,

Magnus Bane.

Tessa,

I'm in New York now. Strange to think that this was where you started your journey and how I ended up here. It's probably changed a lot since you were here but then again I don't know when you were last here. It could've been yesterday but I hope if it was you would've visited.

I want you to know that you are always welcome in my house whenever you need a place. I know what you're feeling. That hurt and pain hasn't eased since the day it started and I hate to admit it but it never fades. But I know you're strong enough to live through it. Please Tessa, just contact me. I need to know you're alright. When it comes down to it, I'm the only person who understands what you're going through even though it's been decades since we last saw each other. I know what happened in London, I was there remember. I hurt too. It may not have seemed that way but they were my friends as well. When it comes down to it, we're all we have left. We will be the last ones standing when everything and everyone else fades away.

Forever you friend,

Magnus Bane.

Tessa,

I've got myself involved with Shadowhunters again. Really you think I would've learnt by now but apparently not. They're not a bad bunch really. Shadowhunter names don't fade through generations, they keep living. Names you would know really well, Lightwood, Fairchild, Wayland. The Lightwoods aren't anything at all like the ones we used to know. Well the boy isn't. Alec, he's different somehow. He seems more like James than anything but somehow he looks so much like Will. I'm sure it's still hurts to think about them, I know it still painful for me but sometimes they just pop into my mind. I've met Charlotte and Henry's descendent. Clarissa Fairchild. She has the same colour hair as Henry, that bright flaming colour. She is the only human that I've watched grow up. Sometimes I think it's Charlotte who always came to visit me rather than her descendent. You should meet her, maybe one day… I think you would like her.

Anyway contact me please.

Magnus Bane.

I know they're short but it was just a little bit of drabble. Might expand it sometime.

Let me know what you think,
