My current fic Into Fire, Into Ice will not have a posting schedule. This is so I don't burn out and because my graduate program is actual hell. With that in mind, I am making this pinned post so anyone who's interested can check for progress updates.
I prefer to be at least a chapter ahead at all times, so once you see two chapters fully written, that usually means editing should be taking place soon and a new chapter will be up shortly.
The plan was simple, really. Interdimensional travel to Thule. Find Simon Lewis. Summon Janus back to the correct realm where he belongs. Convince Kit Herondale to break a three-year estrangement and help with executing this scheme.
But as Ty Blackthorn should well know, plans are rarely as simple as they seem.
This fic is: Canon divergent KitTy set primarily in post-QOAAD Thule, with a Jimon B-plot starting around the halfway point.

An Overdue Confession
Kit x Ty smut taking place sometime during TWP. They finally confess their feelings regarding ~~the event~~ at the end of QOAAD, then sexy times ensue. Oh, and they're in a cave, because Herondale.
This is a KitTy AND Jimon fic involving interdimensional travel, yearning, and much angst.
In chapter 10, ✨yearning intensifies✨. Plus, only one bed trope spotted.
Ch. 10 excerpt:
Without warning, Ty grabbed a hold of Kit’s wrist. Kit froze, mid dab.
“Are you descended from the First Heir?” Ty asked.
Kit blinked in surprise. He set down the bloody strip of cloth. “Should’ve guessed you’d figure it out eventually.”
(Given the lack of context in the above snippet I feel compelled to clarify that Kit is not doing that kind of dab lol. As funny as it would be.)

“One… two…”
The air before them began to shimmer. There was a bright, iridescent rippling, then Angels Flight materialized in the distance, framed by dilapidated buildings and a copper-toned sky.
Ty grabbed Kit’s hand. Kit was too surprised to react. He simply followed Ty through the portal into the unknown.
This fic is: canon divergent KitTy with a Jimon B-plot starting around the halfway point. The story begins in a similar place as Last King of Faerie, but instead of traveling around Europe, Kit and Ty travel to Thule. And a lot has changed there since Julian and Emma left it three years ago.

Chapter 9 includes: ✅ Ash mentioned ✅ hints of Kierarktina ✅ Ty fussing over Kit.
Ch. 9 excerpt:
“But you tried to do better,” Simon guessed. “You tried to be a better father figure.”
Jace snorted. “Yeah, try being the operative word. I don’t know that I’ve been much of an improvement. I’m too broken, too fucked in the head.”
“Broken things can be fixed,” Simon said quietly.

Ch. 8 excerpt:
Simon watched silently with raised eyebrows as Jace continued to tantrum. After much too long, Jace finally ran out of steam, slumped miserably to the floor, and leaned over to vomit into the shower drain. That would be the Kuri demon venom making its way out of his system.
“Are you done?” Simon asked dryly.
Jace bared his teeth. Despite this gesture, he did not look particularly threatening, what with the green tinge to his skin and the dark circles under his eyes. “Where the fuck am I?”
“Welcome back to your home dimension, Jace Herondale. Home sweet home. Home is where the heart is. Live laugh love, et cetera.”

Every time Ty enters a room people are falling all over each other to talk to him and Ty doesn't even notice meanwhile Kit is slowly losing his sanity/will to live.
(I'm thinking back to COFA when Simon and Jace go grocery shopping and two random girls were losing their mind over Jace. And Simon was like, "is this your life always??")
Chapter 7 of my Kitty and (soon to be) Jimon fic is posted! The premise of this fic is that Kit and Ty reunite after three years of estrangement to travel to Thule so they can rid their world of Janus by returning him to the correct dimension.
The angst train continues. Two big events we have been building up to finally happen in this chapter: 1) the summoning ritual to return Janus to Thule, 2) Thule!Livvy confronting Ty.
Ch. 7 excerpt:
Kit blinked and realized that he’d been openly staring. Ty had caught him and was staring back. And Kit was still holding on to Ty’s hand. He gingerly placed Ty’s hand back on the bed and scooted his chair away for good measure. His face felt warm, his skin too tight.
“I think Livvy’s madder at you than I am,” Ty said, breaking the silence.

Chapter 6 of my Kitty (and eventual Jimon) fic is posted! The premise of this canon divergent fic is that instead of roadtripping around Europe as they will in LKOF, Kit and Ty reunite to travel to Thule so they can rid their world of Janus by returning him to the correct dimension.
Up until this point, Kit and Ty have been the main POV characters (though we’ve had some guest POVs too). Simon will now be added to the mix as the third main POV.
Warning: angst ahead.
Ch. 6 excerpt:
Simon acknowledged her with an incline of chin. She seemed awfully young to be chairing a Council. But beyond her age, his mind snagged on the name “Blackthorn”. Hadn’t Ty said his last name was Blackthorn? Was this the sister Raphael was talking about? Simon was curious, but also not convinced he wanted to know. Regular family drama was complicated enough as is. He couldn’t begin to imagine the complexity involved in interdimensional family drama.

We have lots of fun things in this chapter. Kit and Ty sharing a motorcycle. Jealous Ty. Simon hiding out in the most absurd location possible (because I can).
Ch. 5 excerpt:
Simon’s expression darkened. “The last time I saw Jace, I told him I’d kill him.”
“Sure,” Ty replied. “Do whatever you want with him. Just do it in this dimension.”

So, I'm not going to make any arguments about the morality of necromancy because I don't have strong feelings about it either way. I'm willing to wait and see what in-universe justifications are made in TWP before making up my mind. (Remember when we were told repeatedly that parabatais falling in love was BAD, BAD, BAD, only to learn that, oops, it was just a big misunderstanding?)
I do think there's something to be said about shortcutting necromancy when you don't have the powers of heaven or hell behind you (as Clary did with Raziel and Lucie did having inherited powers from Belial). Ty and Malcolm both had access to the same lil dark magic textbook. If all Malcolm had to do was gather a couple of ingredients and a catalyst, don't you think he would have done it a lot sooner? This makes me believe that Malcolm knew something about the nature of dark magic that Ty did not. Instead, Malcolm spent years of effort establishing his weird little death cult so he could build his hand chandelier. He worked so hard on that death cult, bless him.
In TDA, Kit's underlying motivations seemed pretty clear to me. He'd had a neglectful upbringing and was psychologically poised to latch on to Ty and Livvy in an unhealthy way (which then turned into just Ty). Ty ostensibly rejected him when he was at his most vulnerable and honest. Kit felt used and disposable. Then, when he had a chance to explain to Ty what was really going on, he couldn't, because Kit didn't understand himself what he was feeling.
This all felt very clear to me at the time, but some of the material released in the interim between TDA and TWP has muddied the waters imo. Saying he's mad at Ty for forcing Kit to lie to his new family. Saying Ty changed himself (whatever the hell that means). Lots of talk about "forgiveness" and not being ready to forgive. Forgiveness for what? I don't think Kit actually knows, and my sense is that he's inventing reasons so he doesn't have to go back and examine the actual reasons why he felt hurt in the first place.
What's interesting to me is that Ty and Livvy (on Ty's behalf) have both made overtures to Kit in the interim, and it's really just Kit now who has been unwilling to reconsider. So the original reason for his hurt (feeling like Ty didn't care about him) now has evidence to the contrary. My hunch is that Kit associates this time in his life with a great deal of pain, and he also associates this time in his life with Ty. And somehow in his mental space the two have morphed together into Ty = anguish. Regardless of whether that actually makes sense in the present day context.
I am back from my brief hiatus with an update of my Kitty (and eventual Jimon) fic! The premise of this canon divergent fic is that instead of traveling around Europe, Kit and Ty travel to Thule to rid their world of Janus and return him to the correct dimension.
In this chapter, Kit and Ty attempt to persuade Raphael to help them find Simon. Plus, Thule!Livvy gets an unexpected visitor (and its neither Kit nor Ty).
Ch. 4 excerpt:
Ty felt his stomach tumble, as if he were careening down a long drop on a very tall roller coaster. Words eluded him briefly, but he managed to pull himself together. “I’m trying to make pancakes.”
Kit shuffled toward Ty and peered suspiciously at the batter. He dipped a finger in.
“What are you doing?” Ty asked tersely. “You can’t just put your finger in there.”

On rereading this paragraph in QOAAD I have had a sudden thought™. When Ty mentions he hears Livvy calling his name, did he mean this figuratively? Is Livvy's voice imagined in his grief? Or is it possible that the person whispering thoughts into Ty's ear could have been... Lucifer?
