Forty Eighth One Shot:

Camp

Clary POV:

I was on my way to Camp Navajo to start off the summer and I was super excited. I have been a counselor here since I was in high school. I absolutely loved it. What was even better was my job was really accommodating to me spending summers here. They used my absence during the summer to give internships to the college kids, so really everyone wins.

Working at this camp was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I was always a counselor for the little kids, they were between the ages of 4 and 6 and they were just the cutest kids ever. It also helped that I was close with the other counselors. I loved getting to spend the summer with them, well, not Jace. He is so full of himself, and since he's a counselor for the older kids, the boys pick up his attitude by the end of the summer. He was infuriating.

When I pulled up to the camp I couldn't help but smile. The kids were getting here tomorrow which gave the counselors enough time to get everything in the cabins ready. I got my stuff and headed towards the registration building to find out who I was sharing a cabin with this summer. When I walked in I was greeted by the head of the camp.

"Hey Hodge. How was your year?" I asked and he smiled at me.

"It was great. Got everything around the grounds fixed, and ready to start this summer off right." He said and I nodded.

"Who am I bunking with this summer?" I asked as he pulled up the file on the computer. I was paired with Aline last year, and I absolutely hated it.

"You are with Isabelle this summer." He said and I smiled. Izzy was one of my best friends from this camp. It sucked that we didn't live near each other but I always loved getting to spend an entire summer together.

"Sweet." I said and he laughed.

"You'll be in the 4 year old cabin this summer." He said and I nodded.

"I'm going to go get my bunk ready, I'll see you at the meeting later tonight." I said and he waved and I made my way to the cabin.

I loved this place because it had kids from all different places at all walks of life. It started at 4 years old, and the older ones stopped at 15. People came from Europe, and the west, and anywhere really. It was a great way to make friends, teach the littler kids things, and just have an awesome summer that is filled with experiences you don't get anywhere else.

An hour later, I was unpacked and I heard the door open and I looked back at saw Izzy standing there. I screamed and ran over to her and gave her the biggest hug ever. I didn't realize how much I really missed her until this moment. When we broke apart I took her bags and walked them over to her bunk.

"I gave you the bottom bunk cause I know you hate heights." I said and she smiled.

"You're the best Clare. How was your year?" She asked.

"Uneventful." I said and she laughed.

"Aren't you like an assistant for like the richest man in New York?" She asked.

"Something like that. He's a friend of my fathers, and after I graduated college I needed a job, and he was looking for an assistant and I've been there ever since, but some of the work is kinda boring." I said and she nodded. "How was your year?"

"The usual. Saving lives and everything." Izzy said and I smiled. She was a nurse, and a damn good one at that.

"How do you manage to get the whole summer off?" I asked as I got her bed ready.

"I build up enough vacation days throughout the year. I literally don't take any vacation days and by the time summer comes, they are practically begging for me to take the time." She said and I laughed.

"Is Alec here this year?" I asked.

"Yea. He's up in Iroquois this year. He is actually in the same cabin as Jace." She said.

"Good, so Jace won't corrupt them too much." I said and she laughed.

"He isn't that bad once you get to know him." Izzy said.

"You say that like you spend a lot of time with him." I said and she shrugged.

"I kinda do. He visits Alec a bunch and we get together a lot." Izzy said.

"Isn't he from England? How does he get the time, and money to come here all the time?" I asked.

"Rich kid he is." Izzy said and I just nodded.

"How are Alec and Magnus doing?" I asked after a moment.

"Great. They moved in together like 5 months ago." She said and I smiled. They met here about 4 years ago, and hit it off immediately.

"Where is he this year?" I asked.

"He's with Simon in Cherokee." Izzy said.

"Are they bunking together?" I asked.

"No. Separate cabins." She said and I nodded.

We finished getting all of her stuff unpacked and by that time it was time for the meeting. There were 8 counselors in the Ottawa division, which is where Izzy and I were. There were 8 for Cherokee, and 8 for Iroquois. 16 counselors in all and we all sat around a campfire for the meeting. Jace and I locked eyes across the fire and he gave me his signature smirk. I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back towards Hodge as he began speaking.

"Welcome back counselors. Since you all are returners, I'm going to cut you long speech and make a few announcements." He said. "Well, all of the showers in Ottawa have been fixed, so fear not ladies and gents. No more freezing cold showers for you." We all cheered. It was the longest last week of summer I've ever had. "I delayed telling you who was in charge of the three campsites this summer because you all are such great candidates, that it was hard for us to choose. We took a vote, and than another vote, and than another, but there was one person who stuck out no matter how many times we voted." He said and looked around at all of us. "The person in charge of Ottawa this summer is….Clary Morgenstern." He said and my jaw dropped. Izzy hugged me and I hugged her back seriously shocked that I was given this job. "You have been an amazing counselor at this came for 7 years and you are the perfect example of how we want out counselors to be."

"I really appreciate this Hodge. It means a lot." I said and he nodded.

"The person in charge of Cherokee is…Julian Blackthorn." He said and the guys gave him high fives, and I smiled. "And the head of Iroquois is…..Jace Herondale." He said and my eyes nearly popped out of my head. There were so many great people in the teenagers department and he picked Jace. "We have a meeting on Friday after the kids go to sleep right here, and we'll get this summer rolling the right way, but for now let's just have a fun night before it gets busy!" He said and everyone smiled and nodded.

The night was amazing. I caught up with Alec, Magnus and Simon and we all laughed until out stomachs hurt. Only being able to catch up with these people during the summer was hard, we were really close and it sucked but I was glad that we at least had the whole summer to spend together and be kids again. It was getting late, so we put out the fair and started making our way back to our cabins. Izzy and I walked with our arms linked and laughing and smiling the whole way back. I couldn't wait for the kids to move in, and start having the time of my life this summer.

Time Jump – Two Weeks Later

Jace POV:

I loved coming to this camp and working. It was a great way to just leave my life and problems behind and enjoy a summer spending time with kids, and some friends who I don't get to see often. And I can't forget Clary. There was something about her that really draws me in but she doesn't like me in the slightest. I get that I can come off as really arrogant, but that's who I am. Who I've always been, and probably how I'll always be. It's a defensive mechanism that I got from my childhood, and I don't think it can ever go away.

This summer I was going to try to get her to like me. I didn't like that she didn't like me, but I understood why, I was an ass, but I wanted to change that. Today there was a whole camp pool party and all the counselors were invited to have fun and hang out with the kids. I didn't swim much, and neither did Alec so we were sitting on the side watching all the kids.

"Clary! Clary! Come swim with us!" I heard a bunch of little girls shouting. I looked over and saw Clary getting up from her chair and removing her cover-up. She wasn't like the normal women that I normally wanted to get with, but that's why I liked about her. She was independent, and she was smart, and I just felt a connection with her. She got into the pool and the girls swam towards her and attached themselves to her.

I didn't even realize that I was staring at her until I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. When I looked up Izzy was standing there smiling at me. She took a seat next to me and followed where my eyes always ended up.

"Why are you staring Jace?" She asked with a wicked smile.

"I think you already know Iz." I said and she laughed.

"Why don't you just talk to her if you're so fixated on her?" She asked.

"Cause she already thinks I'm an asshole, she won't give me the time of day." I said and she put her arm around me.

"I think she would change her mind if she knew you. I told her you weren't really that big of a jerk, but until you prove it to her, I don't think she'll understand." Izzy said and I nodded. "When did this even start?"

"I think I realized that she was different than other girls last summer, and when I got back to England I went out on a date with a redhead but I couldn't stop thinking about Clary, or comparing them. It freaked me out at first, but I follow her on Instagram, and Twitter, and I was constantly curious about her life, and what she was doing. I found myself thinking about her all the time."

"How come you never mentioned this to me?" She asked.

"You two are friends, I didn't want you to tell her." I said and she nodded.

"I do have a big mouth don't I?" She asked and I laughed and nodded.

The rest of the day went by quickly and before I knew it I was getting ready for bed and staring at the ceiling thinking about Clary yet again. It was weird how she was constantly on my mind, and how I never seemed to think about anything else. The past year Clary had been a constant in my mind, and if I didn't do something about it soon, I might just lose my mind.

Time Jump – One Month Later

Clary POV:

This summer has been a weird one to say the least. Being in charge of the Ottawa cabins was really eye opening because I had more work, but I also relied on Julian and Jace and honestly they were really dedicated to the job and pretty good at it. I had to admit, Izzy was right. Jace was different once you got to know him, and after spending this month and a half in meetings with him, I was seeing him in a whole new way, and I did like who he was. He was a hard worker, and he was actually really creative when it came to themed nights, and activities for the kids. I was surprised but I was glad it was a good surprise.

"Okay boys, we need to plan the next three weeks of activities to plan." I said and Julian and Jace both nodded.

"I think we need to have a movie night. Like, projected on the side of the barn with a camp fire, and s'mores, and popcorn, and soda." Jace suggested and it sounded like a great idea.

"I like it. How do we pick the movie?" I asked.

"Why don't we have the kids write down movies and narrow it down for all ages and than we put it out to a vote and that's how we vote?" Julian said.

"Sounds like a plan. I'll do it for Ottawa, Julian you do Cherokee, and Jace you do Iroquois." They nod in agreement. "So, what about the other idea we can think of?"

"How about a mission impossible night?" Jace said. "We hide flags, and each cabin has to go find them and which ever cabin finishes first wins."

"That sounds cool, but that's a lot of kids running around." Julian said.

"We could do it on different nights." I suggest. "Ottawa can go first, but it can be when its lighter out since they are so little. The next night can be Cherokee and that can happen later but not too late, and than Iroquois can go the next night later."

"That could work." Jace said and I wrote it down along with the movie night. "How many more idea do we need?"

"3." I said and they nodded. It was quiet for a while before Julian spoke up.

"How about we do like a huge game night. WE could play tug of war, red rover, like classic playground games."

"What is Red Rover?" Jace asked and I laughed.

"You don't have Red Rover in England?" I asked and he shook his head. "It's a playground game. There are two teams. They stand like 30 feet apart or something like that, a good distance. Than they all hold hands. They chant 'red rover red rover please send' and than they say someone's name 'over' and that person gets out of line and runs towards the line of kids and tries to break the hands and if they break the line they can go back to their side but if they don't they are out."

"Sounds like it could get dangerous." Jace said and I laughed.

"It doesn't have too." I said and he nodded.

"Seems fun, we could try it." Jace said and I wrote it down.

"Alright, two more ideas." I said and than something popped into my head. "Let's have a sports night. Pick teams and make a bracket, and go to town. But the teams must be co-ed. They boys can't gang up on a team of girls. Each team has to have at least one boy and one girl on it."

"Let's do it." Julian and Jace say at the same time and I write it down.

"Alright boys, last one." I said.

"How about a midnight pool party to end the summer off?" Jace said and it sounded like a great idea. The little kids might have a hard time but I think it could be fun.

"It sounds fun, and I know the kids would love to stay up that late." Julian said and I agreed and wrote it down.

"Great meeting boys, and we'll meet tomorrow to start planning the first event." I said and they nodded. Julian got up and walked away and that left Jace and I. It was late, and I had to walk all the way back to Ottawa and I was slightly afraid of the fact that a bear could be lurking in the woods. They were the biggest fear of mine, and I took a deep breath to get ready to make the walk back to my cabin.

"Would you like me to walk you back?" Jace asked and I was shocked. "You seem a little put off about the thought of walking back alone."

"I'm not a big fan of the woods at night." I said and he laughed.

"Being a camp counselor is the perfect career you." He said and I laughed as we started to walk. It was quiet for a while. I could hear the rocks under my feet and the wind whistling through the leaves on the trees. I didn't mind the company of Jace, I had never enjoyed the silence before, but with Jace it just felt comfortable. We made it back to my cabin and we both stopped and lingered.

"Thank you for walking me." I said and he smiled.

"It was my pleasure. I'll see you tomorrow Clary." He said and than he walked away. I stood outside for a few minutes and before I knew it Izzy was standing next to me.

"What are you doing?" She asked and I blushed and I'm glad that it's dark.

"Getting some fresh air." I said

"Who was the other voice I heard?"

"Jace." I said and she raised her eyebrows at me. "He walked me back. You know I don't like the woods at night."

"Sure. That's the only reason." She said and I playfully pushed my shoulder into her. "Face it, you like him."

"Izzy." I said but she cut me off.

"If you don't like him romantically, you at least like him as a person." She said and I smiled.

"Yea, I do like him as a person." I said and she laughed.

"Come on, let's go to bed." She said and we walked into the cabin and got into bed, and I started thinking about what Izzy said. Did I like Jace romantically? Or did I just like him as a friend? I mean, he was incredibly handsome, and he was actually really sweet when he let his walls down. Now I just had to figure out my feelings because at the end of the summer we would be going our separate ways and wouldn't see each other until next summer.

Time Jump – One Month Later

Clary POV:

Tonight was the night of the movie night and Jace, Julian and I were getting everything ready for the campers. The movie that they all picked was Annie, which surprised me, but when we actually explained what Annie was, everyone seemed to really want to see it. We chose the 1999 version so it would be a little more current. I was getting the snacks ready, while Jace was getting the projector ready, and Julian was setting out blankets, and benches and everything kids could use to sit on out on the ground.

A half an hour later the Iroquois show up and take their seats, followed by the Cherokee and last but not least the Ottawa. They all took their seats and got settled. Once they were all there Jace, Julian and I stood in the front and when the quieted down Jace began to speak.

"Alright guys, the movie that was selected tonight was Annie, and I don't want to hear the groans, this is a good movie, and everyone will like it, and if you don't, bit your tongue until its over." Jace said and everyone laughed and nodded. "There is food along these tables, and the fire pit is for s'mores, and you can get as much as you want. Ottawa goes first, and than Cherokee and Iroquois are last. If you need a counselor, they will be in the back so don't be afraid to ask." Everyone nodded and everyone started to get food and when they were all settled, Julian pressed play on the projector and Annie popped up on the screen.

When Annie had snuck out of the orphanage, I snuck away from the group and made my way to the bridge that crosses the water. I had an overwhelming feeling growing in my chest and I just needed to get away and clear my head. I don't know how long I was standing there but I heard leaves crunching and it freaked me out and I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw Jace standing there.

"Jesus Jace, don't sneak up on me." I said and he stood next to me.

"You're really jumpy. Are you okay?" He asked and I looked back at the water.

"Just felt a little trapped, I wanted to clear my head." I said but I didn't look to see if he answered. I just kept my eyes on the water.

"You seem really freaked out by the dark." Jace final said and I shrugged.

"I've never been a fan of night time. So many things can happen, and people get lost, or taken, and things lurk in the trees."

"Sounds like paranoia." He said and I shrugged. I was about to say something when I heard leaves crunch in the distance, and I turned around and looked in the trees, and the tightness in my chest was getting worse. I think Jace was trying to talk to me but everything was completely tuned out and I was looking around trying to find the source of the noise. I couldn't get my breathing in check and I couldn't even control my legs. I was pacing and close to hyperventilating when I felt someone grab my arms and before I knew it, lips slammed against mine and I stopped breathing all together. After a moment he pulled away and our eyes locked.

"How did you do that?" I asked after a moment.

"I've read once that if you hold your breath in the middle of a panic attack that it helps control your breathing. When I kissed you, you stopped breathing." He said and I nodded.

"That was a really good idea." I said and he nodded. It was silent for a while before I spoke. "We should get back to the party." I said and he nodded. We walked back to the party and the movie was almost over. We took a seat with the rest of the counselors and didn't speak of that moment for the rest of the night. It wasn't that I didn't enjoy the moment, it's just I didn't really know what to do now that it happened. When the movie was over and we cleaned up we made our way back to the cabins. I was laying in my bunk and staring at the ceiling thinking about what this changed between Jace and I but we left in a couple weeks, and we wouldn't be in the same country.

Time Jump – End Of Summer Camp

Clary POV:

The end of the summer camp was here and the kids were all leaving today. I was cleaning up the cabin and getting my stuff in order to leave once all the kids were gone. Jace and I haven't talked about what happened on the bridge that night. We didn't let anything get awkward between us, but we both definitely wanted to talk about it, but neither of us brought it up. I liked that the friendship between us didn't really change, but there was a change in my mind. I was seeing Jace in a different way since that kiss. I was loading up my car when I heard someone clear my their throat. When I came around my car Jace was standing there. He was leaning against my car and I walked over to him and it was silent for a little before he spoke.

"I guess this is it until next summer." He said and I took a deep breath.

"I guess." I said and I finally looked up into his golden eyes and they looked darker today.

"I don't want it to be." He said and I smiled a little. I reached into my car and pulled out one of my business cards and went back and stood in front of Jace. I handed it to him and smiled up at him.

"In case you're ever in New York." I said and he smiled.

"I will defiantly call." He said and I smiled. We were silent for a couple minutes before he looked at his watch. "I have to go. My plane leave in a few hour."

"Have a safe flight." I said and he pushed himself off the car.

"Have a safe drive home." He said and I nodded. He walked away and I got into my car and took a deep breath. This was a step in the right direction, and I only hoped that it continued in a positive direction.

Time Jump – Four Months Later

Jace POV:

I was going to a business meeting in New York and I was pretty excited because I was going to give Clary that call and see if we could meet up. I didn't really know if we were even going to be in the same part of New York, but I was willing to rent a car and drive to go see her. When the plane landed I immediately got in the car and was headed straight for the hotel. I had to take a late flight due to business meetings earlier today and my flight got out in at 3 am and I was so ready to go to bed.

When I woke up the next day I felt refreshed and ready to meet with the potential client and honestly, this client was a shoe in and I wanted the meeting to be over so that I could give Clary a call and meet up with her. I got to the building and made my way to the conference room. The whole meeting was a blur. We exchanged information about our companies, and we've made another time to meet and discuss this again, this time in England. We talked numbers, and ideas, and it went really well and when I walked out I took a deep breath, pulled out my phone and pulled out the business card and gave her a call. It rang a few times before she picked up.

"Mark Blackthorn's office, Clary speaking. How may I help you?" She said and I laughed.

"Hi, I would like to make an appointment." I said.

"Sure, what is your business with Mr. Blackthorn?" She asked and I smiled at how she didn't recognize me.

"I was actually looking to make an appointment with you." I said and I heard a gasp. "Miss me?"

"Jace, what are you doing in New York?" She asked and I laughed.

"I had a business meeting for a potential client. And I knew a certain redhead lived in New York and asked me to call her whenever I was here." I said and I heard her laugh.

"My lunch break is in 20 minutes. There is this great coffee shop near my building, it's called Java Jones, meet me there." She said.

"You got it. See you soon." I said and we hung up. I made my way over to Java Jones and waited for Clary.

Twenty minutes went by and than Clary walked into the coffee shop. It was weird seeing her in actual clothes because at camp she was in t-shirts and shorts wearing an old pair of converse, but here she was in a fitted dress, heels, and a pea coat that fit her to perfection. Her hair was perfectly curled and she was wearing make up, she looked flawless, and I stood up and immediately pulled her into a hug when she came up to me. I knew I probably caught her off guard but I needed to hug her after all that time spent apart. When we sat down she smiled at me and I smiled back. I didn't realize how much I missed her until now.

"It's good to see you Jace." She said and I smiled.

"You too." I said and she smiled. "You look incredibly fancy."

"I know. It's part of the job. I would much rather be in a t-shirt and shorts running after four year olds." She said and I laughed.

"So why not be a preschool teacher?" I asked.

"Wasn't really in the cards for me. My dad wanted me to get a real job, so I did." She said and I nodded. "How was your business meeting?"

"It was good. I think he'll be a client rather soon." I said and she nodded.

"What exactly do you do again?" She asked.

"I am the CEO of my families company." I said and her jaw dropped.

"What are you, like 24?" She asked and I laughed.

"Just turned 24 actually." I said and her eyes got even wider.

"How did you get that job?" She asked.

"My father got sick and he couldn't do it anymore, so he gave it to me. I've been in charge for a couple years but he officially gave it to me when I graduated from university." I said and she nodded.

"That's impressive." She said and I shrugged. We talked for another hour until her break was eventually up. I walked her back to her building where we lingered for a little. "I'm glad you called Jace."

"Me too. If I had to wait until this summer to see you again, I would have gone mad." I said and she laughed.

"It couldn't have been that long." She smiled and I nodded.

"It was. Trust me." I said and she looked at me and I did the one thing I've been dying to do since that night on the bridge. I slammed my lips to hers and she stumbled in shock but once I steadied her she started kissing me back. We spent a couple minutes kissing on the streets of New York until we broke apart and our eyes locked and I smiled. "I have been waiting to do that since the bridge."

"Really?" She asked and I nodded.

"Honestly Clary, for the past 2 years you're all I've been able to think about. I don't know what happened. One summer you hated my guts and I couldn't care less and than the next I had this insane urge to get you to like me, and when I finally got you to be my friend I liked you even more. The night we kissed, this is going to sound horrible, but I was glad you were having a panic attack because it gave me a reason to kiss you."

"Why didn't you just tell me?" She asked.

"Because you hated me. I figured if you already had an opinion on me, it wouldn't change in a couple months." I said and she nodded.

"Well, I'm glad that my opinion of you changed." She said and I pulled her into me.

"So am I." I said and she smiled.

"I have to get back to work, but when do you leave?" She asked.

"My flight is tomorrow." I said and she nodded.

"Dinner tonight?" She asked and I smiled.

"I'd love to." I said and I gave her a quick kiss on her lips. Her cheeks turned a rosy red and I smiled. "I'll see you tonight."

"Bye Jace." She said and she walked into the building. I got back into the car and went back to my hotel thinking about what just happened and I couldn't get the smile off my face because I was going to enjoy getting to know everything about Clary.

Time Jump – Two Years Later

Clary POV:

"I can't believe you Clary!" Izzy yelled as we got our cabin ready for the final summer we were working at this camp.

"I'm 25 Iz, and I'm adjusting to my new home, and I've worked here since I was 17. It's time for a change." I said and I looked at her.

"What am I going to do without you?" She asked and I walked over to her and gave her a hug.

"You can always come visit me Izzy. Trust me, I would die if I never got to see you again." I said and she smiled.

"I still can't believe you moved to England." She said and I smiled.

"I'm still adjusting, and everything but there was no way that Jace and I were going to survive being in two separate countries and since his company is in England it made sense for me to be the one to move."

"Who would have thought you two would be living together, being in a cute relationship, and getting your life together." She said and I laughed.

"Life has a funny way of working itself out." I said and she laughed. "Now, if only he would purpose, we could get our lives started."

"You know Jace, he's probably going to make it as special as possible." She said and I smiled.

"Probably. He is such a dramatic guy." I said and she laughed.

We finished getting our cabin ready and when we were finally finished it was time for the annual counselor meeting. Izzy linked her arm in mine and we began walking down the path to the meeting place. We got to the bridge and I noticed the subtle differences in he bridge. There were flower peddles thrown around and bows on the end of it. I looked over and Izzy and she had the biggest smile on her face. We kept walking to where we were supposed to and that's when I heard the soft music playing. I was so confused but when I saw Jace standing there with his hands in his pockets looking incredibly attractive made my heart start racing. Izzy walked me right up to him and than let me go. Jace took my hands and looked directly in my eyes.

"I'm sure you're incredibly confused as to what is going on." He said and I nodded. "I know you've been dropping hints for a couple months, and you don't even know how many times I wanted to ask you but I had it in my head a certain way, and I wanted to keep that." He said and he pulled out a box from his pocket. My hands went over my mouth and Jace smirked. "This is where it all started. We met, and you instantly disliked me, and I didn't really care." Everyone let out a little laugh as so did Jace and I. "Everything changed for me one summer, and I knew that I had to at least see where we went or if we even had a chance, and here we are, two and a half years later, and we have our own house in England, we are building our life together, I mean, we have a cat." He said and I laughed. "I can't wait to start our lives together and I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else. I love you more than I ever thought was possible Clary, and I want to have everything with you." He said as he opened the box. "Will you marry me?"

"Yes!" I yelled and he put the ring on and picked me up and spun me around and pressed his lips on mine. When we broke apart and I finally heard everyone clapping. When we faced them I was brought into a hug by the girls and Jace was talking to the guys.

When the meeting finally started Jace took a seat next to me and pulled me into his side. I looked up at Jace and than back at my ring and couldn't help the smile on my face. Who knew that Jace and I were going to end up getting married? Certainly not me. I never thought that he would be the guy I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, but I also couldn't be any happier. He made me laugh, and smile, and he made me feel loved. Nothing in the world could compare to the love that Jace shows me every single day, and I couldn't wait to see where our future held for us because it certainly looked incredibly bright for us.

Authors Note:

This was requested by NightReader1214, and I am so sorry that I have taken so long to do your request, but I really had been trying to come up with an idea, and I had a hard time sleeping last night and I came up with this, and I really hope that it was worth the wait! I really enjoy this one shot. I think it's pretty cute, and very Clace oriented which I felt like you wanted! Let me know what you think and I hope you like it! :)

Also, the whole thing with Clary being afraid of bears, and the woods, and night time doesn't really have a real reason behind it. She's just never liked night time, and it clearly really freaks her out, and it's just the way she is, and I like her that way, and I'm sorry if you don't like that little character part of her!

AND, the part with the kiss on the bridge, I totally used Teen Wolf as a reference because Season 6 is killing me, and I don't want it to end, but I really want Stiles and Lydia together, and I will cry if they aren't! Okay, my little rant is over! Let me know what you think! :)
