As always! I do not own any of these characters, they all belong to the wonderful Cassandra Clare! Although I will happily take Alec, and Chairman Meow!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

The room was loud, chaos filled the air, and laughter warmed the hearts of those present.

After the year they had, it was no surprise they were boisterous in their momentary freedom.

They had lost too many people, and they had felt too much pain for a group so young.

Hard lessons had been learned and innocence long since lost.

There had been blood and tears, laughter and new friendships.

They had burned the bodies of loved ones, and worn the ashes of demons.

Together they had come together with a common enemy, and formed alliances no one would have ever though possible.

The love was strong. The trust was present. Downworlders and Shadow Hunters celebrating as one.

Jace held Clary tightly on his lap, Laughing at a confused Simon, who was trying to keep up with his vibrant girlfriend. Isabelle was trying to tell him a story, he couldn't remember while trying to stop laughing herself to tears. Poor Simon looked thoroughly lost.

Aline and Helen had come back to visit and were curled up in the love seat wrapped up in only themselves for the moment.

Raphael was standing with Tess and Jem, laughing brightly as he so rarely did. Even he the cold, aloof Vampire, couldn't deny the cheeriness of the moment.

And Magnus, beautiful, beautiful Magnus! Was happily harassing Raphael, insulting and receiving insults in turn. His eyes were bright, lined dramatically in all colors of the rainbow. His hair was spiked, and decorated in glitter, in contrast to his outfit.

Tonight Magnus was dressed to impress Alec, wearing a white loose shirt, with Tight black skinny jeans and combo boots.

Looking up, Magnus wandered over, Leaning down he grasped Alecs face in his hand.

Those beautiful blue eyes met green. A smile lit up the eldest Lightwoods face.

And in that moment, everything was perfect.

3...2...1...

Their lips met.

Little by little, their hearts began to heal in the new year.

END!
