a/n So... after reading City Of Heavenly Fire, I was left with so many questions... I went searching for a Fic that would give me answers... but with the book being still so new... none were available. Im not a writer... but I can dabble and have fun. There will be some lemons I think, but I'm going to set them off as one shots that fit in here, so that I can still maintain a T rating and those who are not fans of lemons or smut... they can still enjoy without having to skip over read back yadayadayada... and those who just want good old down and dirty can just read them; whereas those of us who like the whole picture can get it... blah blah blah... I talk alot. SO without anymore of my rambling... The City Of Changing Tides.: A MI Fan Fic

Preface:

It had been six months since the end of Johnathan's rein of Terror. Well... It had Been Sebastian... but they were two halves of the same coin. Her brother. She had only seen a glimpse of the man who he should have become moments before his death. Moments before he died... after his alter ego had close off the portal and trapped them in Edom... Clary still fought the nightmares...

Edom had been trying on her. Well to consider it just hard on her was selfish, it had been hard on her whole group, but the trip hadn't been all bad. They had trapped the Heavenly fire in her blade, Heosphoros, and safly out of Jace. It then led to Seb's demise. Her mother had yet to recover. It had been like loosing her son all over again. The fire burned all the evil out, but there was not enough good to surrive for more than thirty miniutes.

Things got tense after the night at the farm house. Simon remembered his love for Izzy, but Clary wasn't important. Their past had been taken from him. She knew he had given it up for all of their safty... for their return. Now as a Shadow Hunter himself, while he was still nice to her, it was really like she had lost her best friend. Jace just couldn't understand it. It lead to them fighting, words they didn't mean, but weighed them down, until there was nothing but a shattered soul in both.

Jace had tried to call, to text, he had even stopped by the house. Clary ignored him. She was ignoring everyone. She stayed locked in her room, hardly eating. The plates full of rotting food scattered around attested to that, yet twice a day Luke would knock and leave a plate next to her door. Her Mother and Step Father didnt hide their worry; it made Clary sick what she was doing to them, but her world was upside down. She didn't want to see people, she wanted to be punished. She wanted to live out what was left of her misrable life alone. She had caused so much pain already, all because she wanted the truth. If she had just stayed ignorant to the shadow world as her mother had fought so hard to do, she never would know this hurt... She would never have lost Simon, or lost Jace more times then she could count.

Jace, well he had been her crush, her brother, her lover. He had been her rise, her fall, her heart her soul. Without him she was empty, she needed him. That was her punishment for her dark heart, to not have him. She sat on her floor in darkness with her knees at her chest and cried a tearless cry. She had cried so much over everything she had lost, everything she had left that she had no tears left. Finally her eyes shut and she was ripped from the real world...

Freddy, Jason, they would have been welcome compared to what she faced when she walked the dream plain.

She was on the outside looking in this time... Sand, sand that in many spots was stained with blood. Jace, Alec, Izzy, Simon were chained like dogs at her feet. Beside her was Seb, holding her hand, kissing her neck. She was his queen. Her blade, charged with the fire, at her side. She couldn't kill her brother when the moment came. She loved him. They were married by Lilith and she was with child.

She felt a pressue on her, and her eyes flickered open, the line between dream world was blurred. She could see both, she could hear herself screaming, feel the cold sweat, She felt and saw arms around her, and then dream world drifted away, but she still herd her scream, and a voice, a voice like an Angels.

"Clary, wake up."
