A - Z Mortal Instruments
F - J
Failure, Alec
There was a time in his life that Alec believed that he was a failure. He had never even killed a single demon, whilst his sister and Jace had killed so many it was pointless even trying to guess the number. He also felt a failure because of the love he felt for Jace, he knew that he could never return his feelings.
It was only since he met Magnus that he felt like he had a reason to live. But of course, the love that he felt was frowned upon, he had failed yet again.
Guilt, Isabelle
Isabelle Lightwood had seen many people die in short lifetime, it is hardly avoidable since she was a Shadowhunter, with their lives of killing. She had seen many fallen comrades. It evoked many emotions, living the life of a Nephilim, but instead of crumbling under the weight of it, she turned to ice. As a result, the girl had never felt guilt for another's death, even if she could possibly have helped them. At least, not until she had watched her brother, an innocent little boy, killed by Sebastian. Then, the guilt had cracked through her mask, plunging her into an ocean of foreign emotion…
Hope, Jace
Jace had always been slightly pessimistic, seeing only the bad parts of a situation - which, unfortunately, was usually most of it. He knew, being that son of the most hated man in Shadowhunter history, that he was destined to be loathed, to poison everything he touches, and everyone he cares about. So he had tried not to see, not to notice the people around him, hiding his pain with his arrogance and sarcasm…
But then, when he saw her, she shined so brightly, as sun of hope in his darkened, shadowed world. Even as she was taken away from his, his love forbidden, sickening - he hadn't let go of that hope.
Inspiration, Magnus
Everyone who had known the high Warlock Magnus Bane - which, in truth, wasn't numerous - had recently noticed a change in the man. He had always been happy, optimistic, colourful - but that was nothing compared to how he was now; he was a changed man. He seemed to have a new wave of energy, and it radiated from him, he appeared to glow. Alec, noticing this, questioned the man, who laughed and replied "Isn't It obvious, Alexander? Now I have inspiration," and bent down to plant a kiss on his lovers forehead.
Jealousy, Luke
Once upon a time, Lucian Greymark was jealous of Valentine. He was jealous of everything; his good looks, his charm, his confidence, his natural talent. Yet, somehow, his jealousy had turned to respect, to love - he would have given his life for him. And he almost did, more than once. He was tricked into believing that the other man would have done the same to him. If only the jealousy hadn't turned to respect.
