jimon + jace showing up to simons drunk after the seelie court and confesses to simon.

here you go :)

Simon was woken up in the early hours of the morning by an insistent knocking on his door and someone repeatedly calling his name. Sighing, Simon jumped down from his canoe to see who it was.

All he really wanted was to be left alone. It had been a long and difficult day and he was still trying to process what had happened. He’d headed to the Seelie Court with Clary and Jace, anticipating that they would go in, find out the information they needed and then leave, but it had all gone a bit wrong.

Clary had been tricked into eating some Seelie food which meant she couldn’t leave until the oh so benevolent Seelie Queen had decided she would be allowed to leave if she kissed the person she desired most. Naturally, Clary had gone to kiss Simon but the Seelie Queen had just laughed and pointed at Jace.

Simon almost wasn’t that surprised when Clary kissed Jace and the Seelie Queen let her go. He should have guessed that Clary still had feelings for Jace and now Simon was alone again, heartbroken and defeated and all he really wanted was some space to think.

However, the knocking at his door continued. Simon pulled it open and Jace stumbled inside.

Great, Simon thought, just who I wanted to see. He shut the door and then turned to Jace who was staring back at him mournfully.

“Simon, hey Simon. How are you? Stupid question really I suppose.” Jace was slurring his words and Simon groaned. The last thing he needed right now was a drunk Jace in his room.

“What do you want, Jace?”

“I just needed to talk to you about- about what happened. I’m so sorry, man. I feel awful about what happened. If I could change it-” Jace swayed slightly where he stood, so Simon guided him to a seat.

“You don’t have to act as if you’re unhappy about Clary still being into you, Jace.” Simon sighed.

“But I am unhappy. You look so- so sad.” Jace reached out a hand towards Simon but Simon batted it away. Shrugging Jace continued, “I didn’t want Clary to kiss me. Honestly. You don’t have to believe me but if I’d been in her position I’d have wanted to kiss you.”

Jace looked up at Simon, gaze wavering slightly but looking completely sincere. Simon was aware that he was staring back at Jace somewhat shocked. Was Jace saying what Simon thought he was saying?

“What- what do you mean?” Simon asked.

“I mean that if I had to kiss the person I most desired,” Jace stopped and hiccoughed, “it would have been you.”

Simon blushed, but a nagging voice at the back of his head told him that it was probably just the alcohol talking and that Jace didn’t really mean it. Simon was desperate to hear those words again but from a sober Jace. Not wanting to let him stumble back to the Institute on his own, Simon decided to let him sleep it off there.

He grabbed a couple of blankets and put them in one of the other canoes before turning back to Jace.

“Let’s get you to bed. If you still feel this way in the morning, then we can talk.”

jimon + date on the beach prompt, pretty please? ❤️

thanks for the prompt! here you go :)

simon is appalled to learn that jace has never been to the beach. not for fun anyway. jace makes a point of telling simon he has been a couple of times for missions, but simon just rolls his eyes and says that doesn’t count

so one day when the weather’s good, simon packs towels and a picnic in his van and picks up jace to take him to the beach

jace doesn’t really get the appeal at first, just sitting on the beach all day doesn’t sound very exciting but while he’s driving simon tells jace some of his fond childhood memories of being at the beach with his family. that and the bright, happy look on simon’s face make jace a lot more excited

it’s kind of a busy day, but simon manages to find them a good spot where it isn’t quite so crowded. he lays out towels for both of them and motions for jace to sit on the one next to him.

when jace joins him simon immediately makes sure that they put on enough sun cream (this may or may not involve them rubbing sun cream into each other’s backs)

they start off in the sea. jace decides to show off how long he can hold his breath but resurfaces almost immediately because it was a lot colder than he expected. simon’s laugh makes it worth it though

splashing each other and generally just being really happy and relaxed together

simon went all out with the picnic food, bringing all of jace’s favourites. he packed far too much but jace makes sure it doesn’t go to waste

after lunch simon pulls a bucket and spade from his bag and insists that they build sandcastles. jace decides to turn it into a competition, trying to make the biggest, most extravagant castle he can. simon gets distracted from making his own sandcastle by watching his boyfriend excitedly build his, so simon happily admits defeat

they get ice cream cones and simon ends up with a bit on the corner of his mouth so jace leans forward to kiss it off

at the end of the day as the sun is setting and the beach is clearing, simon and jace walk hand in hand along the beach, barefoot so they can feel the sand beneath their feet. they don’t say much, content just to be in each other’s company

when they get back to simon’s van, jace thanks simon for showing him that spending all day at the beach was not as boring as he thought it would be, before kissing simon softly

jimon + jace being behind the door with simon with clary telling simon she wants to be with him.

Thank you so much for the prompt :) Here you go, I hope you like it!!

it’s you [read on ao3]

It had been half an hour since Simon told Jace he was on his way to the Institute and Jace still hadn’t seen him. Normally Jace wouldn’t think much of it. He wasn’t Simon’s only friend at the Institute after all, but he and Simon had made plans to watch movies together and it was unlike Simon to be late for that so Jace went to look for him.

As he passed Clary’s door, Jace could hear her and Simon’s muffled voices inside. Figuring that Clary had seen her best friend when he arrived and pulled him in for a chat, Jace decided to just head back to his room to wait for Simon, but as he was about to leave he heard his name.

“Clary, is this about Jace?” Simon asked. Without thinking, Jace moved closer to the door so he could hear them more clearly.

“What? No, Simon this isn’t about- It’s about-” Clary paused and took a deep breath. “I know we’ve been friends, best friends, for ages and the last thing I’d want to do is ruin that but I really like you Simon and I was wondering if maybe you’d want to go out me?”

Jace’s heart dropped at Simon’s response a few moments later.

“Clary, I love you-”

Jace had heard enough. Head reeling, he pushed himself away from the door and headed back towards his bedroom. He’d suspected that Simon might have feelings for Clary for a while now but hearing that Clary had been the one to make a move took him by surprise. He and Simon had been getting closer over the past few weeks and Jace had begun to wonder if there could be something between them but now he had no doubt that Simon and Clary would get together. He flopped onto his bed in defeat, hugging a pillow to his chest.

Ten minutes later there was a gentle knock on Jace’s door.

“Go away.” Jace mumbled into his pillow.

“What?” The voice that floated through the door was Simon’s and Jace groaned. “Jace, it’s me. I thought we were going to watch movies?”

“Leave me alone,” Jace called out, hoping that Simon would get the message.

“Jace, what’s wrong? Are you ok?” When there was no answer Simon continued. “Jace, has something happened? Please let me in.”

Sighing, Jace rolled off his bed and went to answer the door. He’d hoped to have a bit more time before he saw Simon to think about what he was going to say but hearing the worry in Simon’s voice changed his mind.

“Hey,” Simon said, casting his gaze up and down Jace’s body, checking for any signs of what was wrong. “What’s going on?”

Jace pulled Simon into the room, shutting the door behind him. He reached up a hand to run a hand through his hair before he answered.

“So I guess congratulations are in order,” he began, words tinged with bitterness.

“Congratulations?” Simon’s eyebrows drew together in confusion. “What do you mean?”

“On you and Clary finally getting together.”

“Me and Clary? We aren’t together.”

“But you told Clary you loved her, I heard you-”

“Wait. You heard me?” Simon looked unimpressed and Jace shifted uncomfortably.

“I- Yeah. I came to look for you and I heard you and Clary talking in her room. I wasn’t intending to eavesdrop but then I heard my name and couldn’t stop myself from listening in. I know I shouldn’t have. It was a private moment between the two of you and I had no right. Simon, I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine. Well, no, you shouldn’t have done it, but I forgive you. But Jace, did you hear the rest? After I told Clary I loved her, I mean.”

Jace just shook his head and Simon sighed.

“Oh, Jace. You missed the most important part.”

Jace gave Simon a quizzical look. “What do you mean?”

“I turned her down. I told Clary that I didn’t want to be with her. I told her that I loved her and she was my best friend but that I wasn’t interested in dating her. That I didn’t feel that way about her because I already feel that way about someone else,” Simon said with the hint of a smile, his gaze fixed steadily on Jace. Jace’s eyes widened, heart pounding, scarcely daring to hope that Simon was talking about him, that Jace was the person that Simon was interested in. Jace wanted to ask him who he was talking about but the words were stuck at the back of his throat as he looked back at Simon.

“You see, I’ve got my heart set on a certain blond Shadowhunter.” Simon continued, eyes searching Jace’s face for a reaction. “It’s you, Jace. It’s been you since the moment we met and you grabbed my hand. I just didn’t realise it for a while. You’re captivating, Jace. You grab my attention whenever you enter a room and I think about you all the time. Yes, I love Clary but because she’s my best friend and she’s always been there for me, not because I want to date her. Because I don’t. I want to date you.”

Simon dropped his gaze from Jace’s face, too nervous to maintain eye contact, and instead focused intently on the pattern of Jace’s bed sheets.

“Simon-” Jace’s voice cracked. He cleared his throat and began again, “Simon, hey, look at me.” Simon lifted his head slowly to see Jace smiling back at him. Reaching out, Jace took Simon’s hand and laced their fingers together, pleased to see the way Simon’s face lit up as he did so.

“You caught my attention that day too, but with everything that’s been happening I didn’t allow myself to think about it, to act on it. But these last few weeks, spending all this time with you and getting to know you made me realise I don’t want to keep holding back. I want to be with you, Simon.”

Simon grinned, eyes flickering from Jace’s eyes to Jace’s lips as he whispered, “Can I kiss you?”

“Yes.”

Jimon Week: Day 2 - valentine's day or what made you ship jimon

pairing: jace/simon rating: g word count: 1137 summary: It's Jace and Simon's first Valentine's Day together. When Jace gets sick, Simon looks after him.

shout out to @capstevierogers for saving me late last night with the film suggestions because this probably wouldn't have been finished otherwise <3<3

It was Jace and Simon's first Valentine's Day together. They'd only been together for a few months so they'd decided that they wouldn't do anything too over-the-top but would instead just stay in, order takeout and watch a movie

When the day finally arrived, Jace woke up feeling lousy. His throat was sore, he kept sneezing and his whole body ached - just what he needed.
