Literally all of The Shadowhunter Chronicle romances are completely unhinged it’s not even funny (I lied, it’s very funny). Here’s just some examples:

William “Will” Herondale/James “Jem” Carstairs + Theresa “Tessa” Gray: It totally would have been a vee type polyamorous situation if it wasn’t for all the death and 1800s London society going on.

Henry Branwell + Charlotte Fairchild: How dare this misogynistic society put us together, I mean, we wanted to get together anyway, but not for those reasons. Welp, time to be as unconventional as possible.

Gabriel Lightwood + Cecily Herondale: Look, you made fun of my sister, it’s only fair that I marry your sister; that’s the rules.

Gideon Lightwood + Sophia “Sophie” Collins: Dad, I have a perfectly valid reason to betray you and go to the other side. What your doing is wrong and – nO tHiS haS nOThiNG to do wiTh tHeIR mAid wHy wOUlD yoU eVEn sAy tHat?

Jesse Blackthorn + Lucie Herondale: Your request to not be brought back to life has been denied, deal with it.

James “Jamie” Herondale + Cordelia Carstairs: He didn’t commit arson we were just having sex – why are you all looking at me like that’s worse?

Anna Lightwood + Ariadne Bridgestock: Listen, there’s a lot of society going on right now, so we’re going to have to get together in secret. Oh, you don’t want to? Okay, never mind, fuck society, let me win you back real quick.

Christopher Lightwood + Grace Cartwright: Oh good, you broke into my house, now we can talk about science.

Thomas Lightwood + Alastair Carstairs: I’d really like to hate you, but I think the biggest problem with that is that I love you. Once I get over that hurdle, I think we’ll be in the clear.

Lucian “Luke” Graymark + Jocelyn Fairchild: Good job on us for breaking away from the genocidal cult run by our best friend/husband; we should hook up, you know, as a reward.

Jonathan “Jace” Herondale + Clarissa “Clary” Fairchild: Ayo the same guy conducted experiments on our blood, that’s crazy; btw so glad we’re not actually siblings.

Alexander “Alec” Lightwood + Magnus Bane: Marrying each other is against the law? Okay, fine, I’m a law biding citizen. Oh oops, I made it legal. I am the law now, and I want a wedding on the beach.

Simon Lovelace + Isabelle Lightwood: It makes sense to have our engagement party on the day of my brother’s death, that’s when we really started bonding.

Helen “Alessa” Blackthorn + Aline Penhallow: Well, I guess we’re going to go in exile together. Yes, I said together; your exile is my exile, what’s mine is yours and what’s yours is mine, that’s how relationships work.

Julian Blackthorn + Emma Carstairs: Yes, it’s a technical war crime to love each other, but the law itself is not really our main concern about it.

Kieran Hunter + Mark “Miach” Blackthorn + Cristina Rosales: We’re really living that cottage core aesthetic, and all we had to do to get here was do a small war and some amnesia. Worth it.

Gwyn ap Nudd + Diana Wrayburn: I’m going to stand by just in case something happens, but it probably won’t, she knows what she’s doing – WHY IS SHE JUMPING OUT THE TENTH STORY WINDOW OH MY GOD WAIT

Tiberius “Ty” Blackthorn + Christopher “Kit” Herondale: We take cosplaying Sherlock and Watson VERY seriously, so of course we needed to go to all the most illegal places, it’s only natural.

Ash Morgenstern + Drusilla “Dru” Blackthorn: So anyway I saw them in a sort of fever dream like state this one time and they’ve still been on my mind for years.

Helen nearly calling off her wedding because she felt like she was like her mother & dooming Aline by holding onto her 🤝 Mark being told by the Unseelie King that he made a fool out of Kieran just like his father made a fool out of his mother

best tsc ship and worst tsc ship in your opinion

Best ship has to be Herondaisy. I know a lot of people would rank them lower but idc, they’re peak romance to me. There is something about the way TLH is written that makes the characters & by extension the romance feel so much more human and realistic. I’m rereading ChoI rn and their post-marriage era is everything to me. Plus y’all probably know how I feel about Heronfairstairs atp so the love triangle drama did not bother me in the slightest.

Thomastair & Blackstairs are a close second though, and I have a soft spot for Kierarktina & Jessa as well. (Sorry for not mentioning TMI & Wessa I do love them all just not as intensely.)

Wish we had more Heline they’d be much higher on the list.

Worst ship is more difficult and I couldn’t think of any off the top of my head. Though none of the TID/TDA ships qualify, they’re all too strong.

If we count Alastair and Charles as a ship they obviously take the cake. Same goes for Maia and Jordan.

I’m just gonna confess rn that I don’t feel very strongly about Ghostwriter and Sizzy. Like they’re cute to me but that’s it. And I have conflicted feelings about Arianna.

Bonus: fav fanon ships by farrrrr are Heronchild and Heronthorn and I know it shows

[rosesfromthedeep]

I still find it hilarious that Clary and Aline have more chemistry in one fight-scene than Clace has during the whole show (and I say this as a Clizzy/Heline-stan).

[the-rebels-and-the-saints]

When you just realised that in the entirety of TSC, there are only two lesbian couples (Arianna, Heline) and one of them is just a side couple, and you see Arianna in Better in Black.

And then you're sorta optimistic, 'cause now you're hoping for Heline too.

You go through the rest, and you're pleasantly surprised to find Kierarktina, Thomastair, and Sizzy too.

But then you are mentally disturbed, because you also found SEBASTIAN AND THE SEELIE QUEEN instead.

I HAVE QUESTIONS.

Why, CC, why? Is it to give context on the birth of Ash Morgenstern? Is it the Seelie Queen telling Sebastian she's pregnant? Because they definitely don't have that kind of relationship, the kind we actually ship. Better in Black's theme is love and romance, but what love and romance is there between them? They were just using each other, and Sebastian died! Is this an easter-egg story where we find out some things about TWP? Is their Better in Black story not exactly about Sebastian and the Seelie Queen at all? CC, you better not be playing with us.

Onto a slightly less bewildering topic, am I the only Malec fan who wasn't surprised to not find a story about them in Better in Black? Like HELLO, they are the TSC couple with the highest amount of content, even more than Clace. Apart from TMI, they have their own separate series, four short stories, and are included in other series as well (TDA, TWP). And the amount of ART on them is wild. So no, I am not unhappy that CC didn't include them. While I wouldn't have minded if she had either, you have to admit she was only being reasonable.

Okie, thank you for coming to my rant!
