HEADCANNON #1

The death of James Carstairs:

And with Tessa held against his chest, her fingers running through his dark hair, James let go. Tears soaked through the thin material of his shirt, as Tessa felt him still beneath her.

A silvery blue, almost iridescent river ran through the darkness of Jem’s mind. Beneath him, his legs moved towards an apparent destination. Emerging in the fog of the river, a tall figure stood by the water’s edge. A figure Jem knew like the back of his hand, a fundamental part of his own soul. A familiar head of blue-black unruly curls turned. Bright blue eyes sparkling with happiness met his own.

With a slow smile, Will Herondale spoke, “you’ve kept me waiting quite a while Jem.”

My heart broke. I moved out of home and into the city and I made new friends and I started to realize that no-one is just good or bad, that everyone is both. I started to discover in a profound, scary, blood-aching way who I was when I was alone, what I did when I did things only for myself. I was reckless and graceless and terrifying and tender. I threw sprawling parties and sat in restaurants until the early hours, learning what it’s like to be an adult, even talking like one sometimes, until I caught myself. All I wanted to do was dance. I whispered into ears and let my eyes blaze on high and for the first time I felt this intimate, empire-sized inner power.
