~A Lunar Revelation~
~Lily Truesdale~
Set following the events of The Course of True Love (And First Dates) and goes through the series. Luna Lyn Bane, Magnus's apprentice and kind of adopted daughter, meets Alec Lightwood and the rest of the Nephilim in the NY Institute. She entangles herself into their lives and struggles in a far-fetched hope that they may have known her mother, but when you're the apprentice/adoptive daughter of Magnus Bane, you're bound to stir up some trouble.
Disclaimer: I don't own TMI damnit! If I did, the page best left un-numbered of CoLS wouldn't exist and they'd be married by now… But I own Luna Lyn Bane, and any other minor OCs that pop in randomly (that are probably made up as I go. Sorry if they suck.)
WARNING: MENTIONS OF ABUSE, SELF-HARM AND CONSIDERED SUICIDE. And add in some major Malec, Sizzy and Clace (though main will probably be Malec), though it will be unsure if there are any lemons for any couple.
AN: Luna has figured out Magnus's real age (She's still guessing the exact age) of 600 years (give or take), but my math could be all wrong. Please go with it?
Prolog: Awkward but Perfect
It was 11pm when Magnus Bane walked into his loft in Brooklyn, his glittery black hair in messy spikes and his gold cat eyes glazed over in bliss. He heard a yell outside, followed by a crash and a few curses. He couldn't help but chuckle, the thought of his boyfriend, a strong, graceful, and very agile shadowhunter, falling down the steps after an ohh so sweet goodnight kiss. Magnus touched his lips lightly, the feeling of his beautiful nephilim's lips still lingering like a ghost. A soft voice dragged him from his thoughts.
"I wasn't expecting you to be back till morning Magnus." A feminine voice giggled. Magnus looked up to see a pale and petite, but very pretty young woman with reddish brown hair tied back in a damp, messy ponytail, and stormy gray cat eyes filled with amusement and slight curiosity. Magnus sighed as he slowly slid to the floor. She looked at him in concern.
"Dad are you alright? You've never done that before after a first date, and to be honest you look drunk…" She asked as she walked over to him. She looked like she was ready for bed, the baggy t-shirt slid off her thin shoulder, and peaking under the hem of the shirt she wore were multi-colored shorts. Magnus smiled up at her.
"I'm fine Luna. Just happy…" He replied. Luna giggled as she sat down next to him, summoning up two cans of soda from the fridge and handing one to her dad. He took it and took a sip.
"Alright. So how was your first date with the hot blue-eyed shadowhunter?" She asked, having no shame what-so-ever in admitting that her dad's boyfriend was hot. The two shared the same tastes, namely that they both loved black hair and blue eyes. He rolled his eyes.
"No hon. If things don't work out you can't have him." He teased. Luna laughed.
"I know. He's gay. I caught the whole conversation you two had Tuesday, along with that sweet kiss. He'll remember that one. But in either case, you still didn't answer my question." She replied. Magnus smiled as he began to explain the date, leaving out some details like the lovely make-out session that happened before they left the loft, though knowing her she probably already knew.
"So basically the date was awkward, being as it was his first EVER date and he had no effing clue what he was doing, but it turned out perfect in the end right?" She asked. He nodded.
"Aww…that's just sweet…" She cooed before taking a sip out of her soda. The two sat in silence for a minute.
"You know, you're gonna have a hell of a time with this one. Him being closeted and all. Add in that it's his first EVER relationship…you'd best go slow or you both may do things you'll regret. Not trying to nag, just warning you. We don't want a repeat of that asshole vampire that you dated for a bit when I first started living here." She explained. Magnus nodded.
"I know. But I have a feeling it'll be different. I think this time it'll play out like I want it to…and I really really hope he won't break my heart…" He mused as his eyes slid closed and he leaned over so his elbows rested on his knees and his head was pressed against his right elbow, the can of soda in his right hand. Luna took in the picture and sighed.
"You know, sometimes I forget that you're 600 years old…you look 19 and have this air to you that's almost like blissful innocence and like a dreamer. It's pretty in a way…" She mused, her elbow resting on her knee, her head in her hand. Magnus smiled.
"I don't let my long life make me bitter hon. It's something you learn as you live through so much…" He replied. Luna squeezed his hand in a comforting manor.
"And that's a good thing, to me at least. It makes you much more pleasant to be around. Some of the warlocks I've met either from your parties or as your clients are just so bitter and crabby I don't think even them getting laid will be enough." She replied. At that, the two warlocks busted out laughing to the point of tears. Magnus wiped a tear from his eye.
"Oh god Luna…are you sure you're not my biological daughter?" He joked. Luna nodded.
"Yes dad. As much as I act like you, and the fact that we have the same eye type, I look every bit like my mother and my father is a demon." She replied laughing.
"Just making sure. Oh god…" He replied as he wiped away another tear. Luna calmed herself first.
"But back to the main topic, when do I get to meet him?" She asked.
"You already have met him Luna." Magnus replied sarcastically. She punched him in the arm.
"You know what I mean smartass." She replied. He pouted as he rubbed his arm.
"I don't know to be honest. Could be tomorrow or it could be a month from now. It's basically whenever he can sneak away from the Institute. As irritating as it is, I'm willing to wait as long as he needs. He's sweet and honest, and not to mention has the same innocence you say that I have, kind of…" He replied as he tried to describe his boyfriend, with a little difficulty. She sighed.
"Remember dad, go slow with him. The whole dating scene is new to him, and you don't wanna scare him off." She replied. He nodded as she stood up.
"Well come on. We both have work tomorrow, and while my job at the library is nothing compared to your clients, we still need our beauty sleep. Though more than likely I'll be up late reading again…" She stated, muttering the last part. Magnus chuckled as he mussed her hair.
"My little girl, the walking library." He spoke affectionately. She punched him, this time in the chest.
"Shut up…can't help that I'm addicted to reading…" She muttered. He laughed and hugged her to his chest. She hugged him back.
"I love you dad. I really do hope that you're right, and that this does play out like you want it to." She stated. He smiled and kissed the top of her head.
"I love you too Luna. So do I…" He replied. The two stood like that for a minute before Magnus let go of her and left to get ready for bed. Luna looked at the retreating form of the man she called her father before walking into her room and grabbing a spellbook off the bookshelf and snuggling into bed. Halfway through, she felt sleep tug at her and she drifted off, the last thought in her mind being a simple prayer.
Alec Lightwood, please don't break my dad's heart…
Did it fail? Was it awesome? Did I royally fuck up the characters? Tell me in your review.
