Author's note: Good day! Well, it is for me. I just found a Tumblr dedicated to one James Carstairs, so it is a very good day for me! I hope it is for you, too! Anyway, I hope you enjoy C!
Disclaimer: If I owned Infernal Devices, there wouldn't be near as much Jem bashing in this fandom. So I obviously do not own Infernal Devices.
Candle
There was something special about candlelight.
Something special about the way it flickered and twisted and painted walls with sultry shadows.
Something special about the way it cast a beauteous glow on everything it touched.
Something special about the way it could cast that glow on one side of a face and leave the other side completely in shadow.
Something special about the way it made her look tonight, even sprawled ungracefully as she was across the bed and covered in a light sheen of sweat.
Something about the way made her even more beautiful in his eyes, which he had previously considered to be impossible.
He continued to marvel over that, even as she lifted her head to smile wondrously at him. Neither of them broke the silence. He simply crawled back onto the bed and settled his body next to hers, protectively—almost possessively—wrapping his arms around her.
I will never look at a candle the same way again.
This is what he swore to himself as he drifted off to sleep with the love of his life.
Clumsy
Magnus took a moment to study the beautiful vampire sitting by the fireplace. Camille certainly is a lot of things, he mused.
She was beautiful, for one. And that certainly helped explain his attraction to her. She was dangerous. Undoubtedly. She was a vampire, after all. She could be picky. And demanding. There were several things he was forbidden to do within her house. She was capable of love, hatred, even jealousy, though the emotions were rather shallow and tended to be brief.
And there were several things Camille was not.
She was not patient. She was not entirely truthful with him at times. And, being a vampire, she was not clumsy.
Magnus almost snorted at the image of this fierce delicate beauty actually tripping over a rug or some other such obstacle.
No, Camille was definitely not clumsy.
That sort of thing was beneath her.
For Candle, I guess that's kind of a "pick your own pairing" isn't it? ;) have fun! Thanks to all who have favorited/alerted! Reviews are always loved and very much appreciated! Oh, and I was wondering, do you think Woolsey Scott should make an appearance? Leave a review or send me a message, please!
