Warning: Might be a few spoilers in there. This is a lot of text, but I just couldn't let this slide with a short snippet. Some guy on guy action.

These one on ones are based out of songs that inspire me. I will do more and I'll try and keep to two to three pairings per song. If you have request feel free to come with it. Tell me a song, or a pairing, or both and I'll see what I can do for you. I do not own the characters or the story the originate from, also I do not own the songs. This took quite some time and effort, however I'm pleased with the result. Please review. Enjoy the read.

Marianas Trench – Beside you.

And if your heart wears thin, I will hold you up.

And I will hide you, when it gets too much.

I'll be right beside you.

Clary x Jace –

She gasped, dropped to her knees, cried enough for a river, half-mute sobs escaped her lips and she gasped repeatedly; her chest was tight as if she was wearing a very suffocating corset. Breathing at the very moment was the most difficult thing she had done in her very life and Clary had gone through a hell of a mess recently. Mud soiled through her pants, but she didn't care. Her side was bleeding, but the pain was dull compared to the one in her heart. The rain was soaking her down to her undergarments, but she hardly felt it. Blind to the rest of the world; expect two males in front of her, one lying on the ground in a heap of useless flesh, the other standing above with blood dripping from a sword. One male she loved, the other she currently hated with such a rage she couldn't even put words on it, of course the one she loved was the one dead on the floor. No matter how many times she wished it was the other way around the golden haired male on the ground just wouldn't stand up. No matter how much she begged who ever ruled the world for his rescue, it wouldn't come. No matter how hard she tried to push reality back it always came back, hitting her like a boulder.

Nobody will break you.

Clary didn't want to believe it, but the truth was right in front of her. Jace was dead and there was nothing she could do other then watch, cry and beg. She felt miserable, a pitiful creature hardly worth of living. Dying seemed like a good choice, she could just stop fighting the darkness that edged in her vision and the pain would be over. Everything would be forgotten and nothing would matter anymore, not that much mattered anyways; Jace was dead, the person she loved and held dear. The one that swore he would always protect her and never leave her, well he had broken that promise. Clary closed her eyes and let her body slump to the wet ground, she actually welcomed the wet grass in her face, it felt somehow refreshing. At least she wouldn't be alone in the world if she died, but who knew what awaited her. She watched the standing male in the corner of her eyes and saw him inching towards her, his face a mask, his clothes stained with blood. Valentine raised his sword and stood above her, she swore she got see a hint of sorrow strike his complexion, but it was her imagination, Valentine was a monster he didn't have emotions other than hatred.

It was then it struck her; Valentine didn't deserve to live, all the things he would do with the world if he got what he wanted. Clary thought about what Jace would have done and she realized he would have stood up, blind with rage and killed the bastard right where he was standing. Without even noticing she whimpered, trying to clamber up unto her feet again, it seemed an impossible task. The world went dark and she collapsed onto the ground yet again, Clary was unconscious.

Warmth seeped through her body and she swore she could hear a voice calling her name. Arms were wrapped around her like a protective blanket and despite her later state of danger she felt completely safe. The familiar feelings urged her to wake up, urged her to open her eyes and find what lay beyond, the sweet voice was calling her name. Clary's eyes fluttered open weakly and she gazed up to see an angel, her angel; Jace. Worry was painted on his face, but all Clary cared about was the fact that he was breathing, living. With strength she was sure she summoned out of pure will she pulled her arms around him and latched onto him with such force he had to gasp for air. "Clary, your crushing me.." he muttered softly and all she could do was to cry, hearing his voice clear as day made the tears come rolling yet again, yet this time it was tears of happiness, relief and most importantly; love. Despite everything a weak grin spread on Jace's face, he was such an ass for smiling at a time like this. "I promised you I would always be beside you, didn't I?" he said in the softest voice he could manage, but it only came out smug. Clary laughed, just almost and kissed him full on the lips, ignoring the pain raging through her body.

"I love you Jace" she said. Was it all a dream?

Alec x Magnus -

His knuckles were white from tension, a bead of sweat was running down his forehead, his breathing was shallow and he could hardly make a sound or move an inch. Everything was being destroyed in his life, Max was dead, Magnus had broken up with him, Jace had vanished and was probably not himself anymore, his parents had given up on each other, even Isabelle seemed to be falling in love, which was an obvious sign of the world falling apart. Mute sorrow followed him everywhere he went and even if he tried to act like an adult, act like he was strong and nothing bothered him, everybody knew he was lying, not only to the world, but himself.

Alec wanted everything to turn back the way it was. Demons he could deal with, underworlders he could deal with, danger he could somehow deal with, but when the people he cared about seemed to vanish bit by bit. Now that was hard to deal with, Alec had always been a bit of a loner, more of a third wheel than an actual asset to the group. However he had actually tasted the sweet fruit of love for the first time in his life, he was starting to turn for the better. Magnus had made the world easier to live in, a lot easier. The raven haired boy was getting stronger, prouder, but everything had changed once Max had died. One thing after the other ripped from his world and it hurt equally much each time. Of course loosing Magnus had been the worst piece of all, but he felt lost without his brother in battle. It was almost as if he was dead, even though he wasn't.

With the little will power he left he finally decided to get some fresh air and went for a walk. He hardly realized the fact that it had gone dark and even worse; he didn't notice the fact that someone, or something, was following him in the shadows. A sudden sound from the bushes made him halt and look around in around and it was at this time he noticed the sun was gone. Of course, he thought as a demon jumped out of the bushes at him. He dodged, but just barely, why in the world had he left his weapons in his room at a time like this, did he really have a death wish? The blue eyed male cursed himself out loud and moved away from the demon the best he could, the claws from the creature dripping with lethal poison. Alec tried to figure out what to do and turned to run the fastest he could, but there it was; another demon. "Ah h-" he almost cursed, but was interrupted by another attack towards his vital areas. "I'm so dead" he muttered for himself, trying to keep an eye on both demons, one he could run away from, two was a different matter and he had nothing on him what so ever he could protect himself with.

In the distance a sudden red glow came shooting towards the demon and before Alec knew both the demons were fleeing with their tails between their legs. "What the h-" he was about to say when Magnus came out of the shadows and shook his glittery head. "You shouldn't curse Alec, it doesn't fit you" he mused in is normal cat-like voice, his eyes seemed to shine in the moon light. The blue eyed male didn't know what to do or how to react, had Magnus just come to his rescue like some sort of dashing prince? What on earth was he doing out here anyways? A part of him was pissed off; he didn't actually want to see the male at the very moment. While the other part was grateful and actually happy he was able to see the colorful warlock again. Even though Magnus had a somewhat smug smile on his lips, Alec could see the worry in his eyes. It was clear as day. "T-thanks, I guess" he muttered under his breath and turned to leave the warlock alone. However he was stopped by a hand grabbing his wrist, not harshly, but the grip was strong none the less. Alec turned to find Magnus giving him an intense look; the cat-like eyes staring him down almost made the black haired male melt.

After a pause Alec finally opened his mouth to speak, make Magnus let him go. However the warlock had other things in mind as he suddenly whipped forward while dragging Alec closer, their lips crashed together in a passionate kiss and soon Alec's worries were done as if blown away by a very strong wind. Strong and long arms wrapped around him in a strong embrace and even as their lips departed Magnus drew him even closer. Without a word Alec rested his head on Magnus' chest, he hated being shorter than him, but it couldn't be helped. A comforting hand stroked his back and suddenly, as if a lid had been removed tears came running down his cheeks uncontrolled. How pitiful, Alec thought, but Magnus only continued stroking his back gently and kissed him on the top of his head. The black haired male had almost forgotten how good it felt to be in his arms. "Trust me Alec, I'll always be here" Magnus simply said and Alec let himself be swept away by him, feeling completely at peace.

- Trust in me, trust in me. Don't pull away.

Note: I love this song and when I listen to it I can't help, but to think about everything the people in the Mortal Instruments have been trough. And how they've been there for each other. Sadly I write far too much to do every pairing I can think of, but if you have a special request, don't be afraid to ask.
