    Summary

    Once again, Chuck felt the need to withdraw from her nurturing touch, obstinately avoiding intercepting her eyes. He didn’t want to meet them and discover that they were full of compassion, delicate and warm, and yet immovable, resolute in the intention of sheltering him from his worst impulses and misguided decisions. He didn’t need her to do that. He was not a thoughtless mess of a man who had to be micromanaged by his wife.

    Summary

    "Sometimes, Alastair thought that he wished to speak with someone who had the same little voice that made a cacophony in his head. The voice that sounded so much like Elias Carstairs’, telling him that he was a worthless little fool. The voice that sounded somehow like both Charles Fairchild telling him what Alastair owed to him and Augustus Pounceby telling him that the universe owed Alastair nothing.

    He had no idea that such a person was closer than he thought."

    Or, the one where Alastair and Matthew discuss what would now be known as cPTSD.

    Summary

    Between the Coda and Epilogue of Chain of Thorns, we see that a lot has shifted and settled between the main cast. What could have kept them in London: James and Cordelia still not having had their honeymoon, Matthew keeping a distance from Cordelia? More than Lucie and Cordelia's parabatai training, Grace somehow working her way into the group (and James forgiving her?) and the Fairchilds' household, a lot of healing and restructuring of relationships and worldviews occurs during this time. It's not easy being a Shadowhunter, even less so when you grieve as someone who loves harder than most, when you're part warlock but have lost your powers, when you're expected to keep going on as normal after abuse and addiction and loss, when you don't have the words for neurodivergence and mental illness much less therapy and someone to help you--and those around you--live life as fully as you can in light of it.

    But one thing that you do have is stubbornness. Dead or alive, you're going to do what it takes so you and your friends can thrive.

    Summary

    Ever since they watched Le Voyage Dans La Lune in 1902, Thomas Lightwood and Alastair Carstairs have been fascinated by film.

    From bad Christmas shorts to technicolor musicals, watch as they make their way through decades of cinematic history hand-in-hand with the person they love most in the world: each other.

    (Or, the 6 times Thomas and Alastair went to the movies the 1 time they stayed home.)
