wonderland is ending
-:-
It's s l o w, at first.
No one notices anything c}h[a)n{g]i(n}g.
But, wait!
jace&clary are now siblings
- what?! -
!suddenly!, he's just jace and she's just clary
and everyone pretends they were never
maybesortofreally
together
((guess that's the first thing that breaks))
-:-
A few months into the future,
and everything's
d~i-f=f~e-r=e~n-t
because jace likes fighting
DEMONS more than
he likes PEOPLE
& poor clary is miserable
=drown your sorrows, little girl=
But, other than that, everything's alright.
okayfinejust. fucking. peachy
Except, actually, no it's not.
Not even close.
Because everyone seems to forget about
the youngest Lightwood
-(excluding izzy, who'll just keep smoking cigarettes
& kissing random boys until she does)-
-:-
They're trying to hold it together
& but this thing's way too
br/ok/en to fix.
But they'll keep lying.
To themselves, to each other.
"we're fine"
okayalright just. fucking. ecstatic
-(especially alec, who's just fine without Magnus)-
-who needs love these days, anyway?-
-:-
But even them, who are so well-practiced
with the art of make believe can't pretend this is okay.
alrightfine just. fucking. miserable
Because they are a family, God damn it,
and family .doesn't.do.this.
-:-
They were supposed to stick together,
the Lightwoods against all odds.
But now robert isin Idris & maryse is crying
& jace is gone & izzy is shattering
& alec is emotionless & max is dead
and, finally, they're breaking apart the real way.
