Jace was eleven years older than Clary, but he made her insides feel all mushy and brought her the really expensive photography lights that she had been saving up for, so it wasn't really something she thought about it. Clace.

Instead of Clary being raised as a mundane in New York, she's raised by Valentine with her brother Jonathan after Jocelyn ran away to New York. Now, 15 years later, Valentine sends both of his children to New York to figure out where Jocelyn hid the Mortal Cup so he can finish what The Circle started and rewrite everything that Shadowhunters are supposed to stand for. NO INCEST.

Clary is a 27-year-old who has a 10-year-old daughter Claudia and a boyfriend Aiden. She is a very successful artist and has made a name for herself. But Clary has been avoiding the lightwoods for years but one hockey game forces her darkest secret to come out. (And yes this is a Clace fanfic)

It was an interesting predicament. That she knew. Being in love with the same guy since she was little. Being in love with her brother's friend. Being in love with an older man. Being in love with her roommate. Being in love with her teacher... She would play innocent, but never shy. She would tease him and she would be completely honest. And he knew... But Oh, if he really knew.
