everyone’s always like “she fell first but he fell harder.” No! HE fell first AND HE FELL HARDER. she just tripped somewhere along the way and he caught her

lady midnight always makes me giggle a little bit bc emma is just like "dude why's my parabatai like kinda...." and julian is like "i am going to kill myself right here right now"

[allthestories]

Julian Blackthorn in Lady Midnight: *literally vibrating with suppressed yearning and love for Emma 24/7, willing to die and kill for her, imagining that they’re married and his siblings are their kids along with other atrociously down bad behaviors*

Emma Carstairs in Lady Midnight: omg he’s upset with me for putting him and his siblings in danger with my investigation and being a bad parabatai also I’ve somehow deluded myself into thinking he doesn’t consider me a real part of the family

if kit and ty don't fuck in the middle of the apocalypse or in a cave then are they even a real tsc couple

[debutsdestar]

saw a post "Parabatais are all in love with each other" and

Simon had a thing for Clary

Alec had a thing for Jace

Julian and Emma are canon

Matthew and James act like a married couple

Lucie had this obsession for Cordelia's titties

Do I really have to explain Will and Jem?

Luke and Valentine's interactions can be described with two words: sexual tension

Michael was in love with Robert and Robert, the act of you being straight is not fooling anyone

Hey Cassie, it’s been a while, I’m 33 next week. It been a fun 15 years reading your books. Recently I read Castellane, also beautifully written. Shadowhunter world remains my favorite though, and I’m a Blackstairs girl. I’m still gathering up the nerve to read Bred in Bone because I hear it’s a sad one. Can you tell me if we see them again in the first book? Do we know where they are?

Bred in the Bone is sad, but not because anything terrible happens to Julian or Emma. It is more sad in the philosophical sense of reminding us that nothing is permanent, that as Stephen King once titled a story, "All that you love will be carried away." Mortality, human nature, love, you know. The little stuff.

So it's not so much sad as haunting, I would say. And Emma and Julian are fine; we see them in book one. Still happy, still together. :-)
