Thank you to everyone who has reviewed!


Knowledge, Simon

Knowledge is a strange thing. Simon thought that he was quite clever and rather successful so far in his young life. He had enough knowledge of the world around him and how it works, but that was before he was thrown into the shadow world, crawling with demons and other beings which walked in the shadows of the dying sun. But he was okay with these; it was the Shadowhunters that got to him. There, he was baffled. He couldn't keep up with their lives of scars and killing; of secrets and lies. But, in some circumstances, being blind was better than the truth. After all, knowledge can be a terrible thing.

Loneliness, Isabelle

Isabelle had always seen boys as playthings, toys, as distractions from her life of killing. She usually went for unusual, risky boys that her parents would disapprove of - perhaps a Faerie knight, or a troublesome Warlock. Of course, she had never really loved any of them, not even close. She merely sought them for her own amusement, discarding them like a child would a broken toy when she grew bored with them. Previously, she had never minded. But that was until Clary and Jace - she saw the way they were together, she saw how happy they were together. She longed for that happiness herself; she wanted someone to hold, to love, to tell her that everything was going to be alright - but nothing was as simple as that for Isabelle Lightwood.

Memory, Clary

Clary had always thought that her mind was somewhere she could feel safe, something that was completely hers, which no-one else could touch. But of course, she was wrong. When she found out that her mother had been paying Magnus to block her Sight and suppress her memories of it, she was angry, hurt, and disappointed. Her own mind was the one thing she thought she could count on, which would show her the truth, but she was mistaken. However, this was only the beginning of the many betrayals and false truths that she would have to face.

Name, Jace

What is in a name? Is it even important? To Jace, a name meant identity. But what was Jace's true name? His father had given him a false surname, because it suited his lies. But Jace had never really had any blood relation to Michael Wayland, so he could no longer use that name. After realising his "real" identity, the Inquisitor had called him Jonathon Morgenstern, giving him Valentines surname. But, of course, this was another lie, he wasn't even related to him, either. So, what was his name? Jace…Herondale? Clary had corrected him there, "Of course not, you're Jace Lightwood".

But to Jace, this number of different names confused him, he only wanted one name, one identity, where everything was simple and there were no secrets. But nothing ever worked like that, not even something as simple as a name.

Obedience, Jonathon (Sebastian)

Jonathon had always obeyed his father. Anything Valentine had asked him to do, he did, no questions asked. Even when he discovered he had demon blood in him, that he was only half-human, an experiment, a tool for his father's own selfish bidding, he still remained loyal to him. Even as the demon blood burnt away his humanity, like poison, he still was loyal, obedient, not caring that his own father was using him. But really, Jonathon had known no different. He had not known anyone but his father, so, really, could he be blamed for what he did? It was the only life he had ever known.
