“It takes a lot of bravery to just ‘stand there’ in front of a host of bigoted shadowhunters. You could have easily written off a shadowhunter - no one would blame you. It’s sure to be a complicated relationship not just because you’re both men.” Helen frowned briefly before rubbing her forehead, pushing her fringe out of the way.”It was brave. And that makes more of us want to be brave too. So thank you.”

To be honest, it was one of the most terrifying experiences of his life. Magnus had closed himself off to feeling for so long, and while he had told this to Alec, no one else knew . And then, he was standing there in front of the Clave, putting his heart in Alec’s hands and not knowing what would happen. “When he chose me, it was like the sun had broken through the clouds. I never thought I could know such happiness.”

Magnus smiled at her, “I hope that what we did makes it easier for you to be brave. Who is she? The one you want to be brave for?”

“No one yet, but I know plenty of young shadowhunters who feel trapped. Fae have a reputation for being bisexual, so people just assume I am too. I never really got the chance to be in closet.” Not that she wanted to be, but maybe it would have been nice for people to just hate her for being half fae - or maybe it would make no difference at all. Could the prejudice be compounded like that? Did it get worse with every ‘mark’ against her? “They’re not wrong, but it’d be nice if people didn’t make assumptions about my brother and I. We’re more shadowhunter than fae I think.”

I just want Helen and Mark to learn the truth about their mother

#ooc #i'm not crying you're crying #I was listening to shelter #and I just kept thinking of lady nerissa #and what conflicting emotions they must have #they were old enough to remember their mother at least vaguely #how do they reconcile the woman who loved them with what the stories tell them

“Where else would I be?” Aline replied mid-yawn, doing absolutely nothing to mask how sleepy she was currently feeling. She began to stretch and wiggle her toes to try and jolt her body awake, Aline’s head turned to meet Helen’s when she finished and she grinned. “Helen you are my home. There is no place or person in this entire world I choose over you.” she sighed dreamily looking into Helen’s eyes. “You have never been ‘just a girl’ to me.”

Helen watched her stretch with a small smile of her own which grew when Aline’s dark eyes finally met hers. The other shadowhunter’s words had Helen’s eyes stinging, but she held back the tears and instead leaned forward to press a quick kiss to her lips. “You deserve so much more than this. You deserve the world. But I’m glad you’re here with me.”

One day she’d find a way to give it to her, but until then Helen was content to wake up to Aline’s cute mess of bed head every morning.

February 5. Has your character ever had surgery (or other major medical treatment)?

Helen has had major injuries - a few stab wounds from demons during her early years as a shadowhunter - but the shadow world doesn’t have surgery like mundanes do.

Mark’s thoughts went to Kieran and he smiled. “As I said, it was not all pleasant, but…I was not alone.” The scars on his back and various ones here and there on the rest of his body were proof that the Hunt was no picnic, but he was sure things would have been worse without Kieran with him.

Helen looked at her brother curiously, noting the almost fond smile. She could relate in a sense, Aline had made her exile somewhat bearable, though it was still hell to be away from her siblings, knowing they had no one to take care of them. “You’ll tell me everything?”

‘’I wouldn’t know - well not personally. But I wouldn’t be surprised if unicorns did exist somewhere.’’

“I probably shouldn’t admit it but most shadowhunters are content to just kill demons. There’s a lot about our world we don’t know. But I can understand that to a degree. Studying isn’t a priority when you’re working around the clock to prevent a demon incursion from wiping out the human race.” Helen shrugged as she pondered it, not realizing nothing about her statement was comforting.

“Shadowhunters have a saying - ‘all the stories are true’ - but I don’t think you’re going to find a unicorn. At least not outside of Faerie.”

“I still can’t believe you’re here with me.” Helen's voice was raspy this early in the morning, though she had been up for almost an hour now. The blonde shadowhunter rolled until she was close enough to lay her head on Aline’s pillow, until they were almost nose to nose. Her lips curved into a mischievous smile, but her eyes were still fond. “You’re pretty crazy you know, moving all the way out here to the middle of nowhere just for a girl.”

Magnus knew that Alec had gotten a few letters from other Shadowhunters, thanking him for his bravery. He’d also gotten a lot of dark looks from others who were less than impressed by them. But Magnus? No one really considered him in the equation, which was why he gaped for a moment at the young Shadowhunter. “You.. are welcome?” He hadn’t meant for it to come out as a question. “I mean, I just stood there but I’m glad it helped you and others.” It had helped him too.

“It takes a lot of bravery to just ‘stand there’ in front of a host of bigoted shadowhunters. You could have easily written off a shadowhunter - no one would blame you. It’s sure to be a complicated relationship not just because you’re both men.” Helen frowned briefly before rubbing her forehead, pushing her fringe out of the way.”It was brave. And that makes more of us want to be brave too. So thank you.”

February 4. How does your character feel when he visits someone in the hospital (or other major medical facility)?

Helen doesn’t mind sick bays. Having so many siblings meant she’s skill with basic first aid, both shadowhunter and mundane and she’s used to taking care of them when they’re sick. It’ll be a bit of a shock to see them more seriously hurt, but it’s something Helen is prepared for as a shadowhunter. Injuries are common.

February 3. What does the color blue make your character think of? How does it make him feel?

Blue reminds Helen of her family, of the signature blue-green eyes of the Blackthorns. It’s her favorite color.
