Hi Cassie!! What made you decide to change TWP to be set in 2016 instead of 2015?

I wanted the characters to be older, considering what they go through.

Hi, Cassie! We know Kit has had some dating experience prior to TWP, which led me to wonder about Ty… has he explored his options as well? Who’s more experienced out of the two?

mayaheronthorn asked:

Hi Cassie! We know that Kit had a girlfriend - love u Hazel - and I was wondering if he dated other people in those 4 years? And most importantly, I wanna know if Ty dated someone? 💖 sending love

hi cassie!! 

i got into your books in november of 2024, and it's been one of the most rewarding fandom experiences of my life. I love all the characters (especially kit and alastair, they're my shaylas) and am SUPER excited for TLKOF. I was wondering, while Kit was in london, did he date (or even just kiss) anyone other than Hazel? Thank you for your amazing books!!!!

yviintheclouds asked:

Has Ty had any romantic experiences in the time between TDA & TWP?

sherlockwaatson asked:

hi cassie! i want to say thank you for all of the content lately - it is truly giving me a reason to live and i am so grateful

my question is kind of silly but did ty date anyone between qoaad and tlkof? we know kit had a fling with hazel so i was only curious........

------

Friends, Romans, countrymen/women/people. I do understand why this is a burning question. Between TDA and TWP we have missed quite a bit of Kit and Ty's lives. Dating-wise, we only know about Hazel, and that was very clearly not in any way a serious relationship.

But unfortunately, any real answer would contain spoilers. Not even just for the first book! When Ty and Kit meet again, they don't know these things about each other either — Kit doesn't know if Ty's dated or kissed anyone, and Ty only knows about Hazel. Which he genuinely has no jealous feelings about because it is pretty clear that Kit's heart was not involved there.

I did not want either Kit or Ty to feel that the situation between them was impacted by the existence of some romantic rival. It's not the case, there's no love triangle, Kit and Ty's challenges come from other things: memory and forgiveness, understanding, star-crossed challenges of the epic sort.

Ty and Kit are probably not each other's first kiss. But they definitely would be each other's first most other things. :)

Hi! I am so sorry if there was confusion about this. The Wicked Powers was never supposed to be four books that I remember — it was sold to publishers as a trilogy. (If it was meant to be four books, it would have been sold as four books, publishers like to know what they are getting!)

Here is the official announcement of Wicked Powers being sold, which calls it "the final trilogy" in Shadowhunters.

In 2023 I sort of mused out loud about how many books it might end up being, but it was very "I don't know" and that that was before the announcement (in 2024) that it was going to be a trilogy. And you never do know. I'd have to be further along in the story to decide whether a fourth book was needed, so all I can say is that it's supposed to be a trilogy, it was sold as a trilogy, but then so was TMI.

I know there is a lot of anxiety about the fact that there are four main characters and three covers at the moment. I don't know who is going on the later covers but I can promise you this is something my publisher is well aware of! We'll figure something out. And if eventually it does stretch to four books, well, that would fix that problem!

Hi! Is Ash queer or will he go down as the only straight faerie in history lol? Word in the streets is he's Drusexual

I was about to write a longer answer but Holly said, "What about him would make people think he was straight?" She also suggested he could have gotten heterosexuality from his demon side, and I thought that was pretty funny so I'm sharing it. I don't think any faeries are really straight, though they can certainly lean more toward being attracted to one gender presentation or another. Some are aro/ace, but Ash is not. I do think he has a very very very hard time falling in love, as that requires trust and his has been broken many times.

Hey! I was wondering if we’ll see the Seelie Queen interact with Kit? How would she feel, knowing that he’s descended from her daughter? Would she care? 🤔

She doesn't interact with Kit in LKOF but she does talk about him. She has some concerns.

[cassandraclare]

has magnus told alec, as his husband and consul, about livvy being a ghost?

What do you think? One could argue that he should tell Alec everything, but one could also argue that it isn't his secret to tell.

The Time of Two prophecy being about the Clave, and therefore Nephilim as a people, being spilt in half. The First Heir being born to put Seelie and Unseelie back together after fracturing into two centuries ago. The war between heaven and hell which began eons ago but who were once a reconcilable whole too. Ty and Livvy, The Twins, who in legends are one soul in two bodies. Ty who fell when Livvy did, who stands in apocalyptic wastelands all alone. The Twins, who will great or terrible things, in two broken parts. In an uneasy decaying bond, holding them together but only barely and bound to break. Just like everything else.

Seeing the cover of The Last King of Faerie made me remember that this is a real book that is really going to be published and not just a concept that we all collectively hallucinated.

what a lot of people on here don’t seem to understand is that shane is going to outfreak ilya every single time. I’m rewatching ep 1 and five (5) seconds into his very first gay experience ever shane hollander is on his knees hob slobbering. ilya puts his thumb near (near) shane’s mouth and shane is swallowing that thing. like yes ilya has more experience but shane has the vision

I’ll never get over Ilya being like no no, I must set record straight. I want to fuck your son since the literal moment I first saw him at seventeen. It was freckles. And then I fuck him. Repeatedly. For entire decade. He gave up that ass like absolute freak. He is my good little boy. Yes, that is right. Since the markets crash and millennial dream is dead. I hear on radio, then I fuck your son. We grow old together. Lovers.

Ilya trying to keep a doped up Shane from airing all their laundry is so special to me.

[skyrigel]

gurl what kind of rivalry is this?

[sedicciardo]

everyone in the league calling ilya an asshole meanwhile he’s apologizing to the bartender for his rowdy teammates, smiling politely at the nurse, playing mermaids with the kids, painting hayden’s kid’s nails and then his own nails to show them that boys can paint their nails too, getting excited over the team puppy, and then spoiling his dog rotten when he finally gets one. sorry but idgaf that he’s mean to grown ass men, they deserve it 😭😭
