Romantic Ships: Jonathan Morgenstern x Simon Lewis

Disclaimer: This JC didn’t spend some odd 10 years in Edom nor was he raised by Valentine, but just ending up being Clary’s grungy older brother who has a ridiculous crush on his younger sister’s adorkable best friend.

Lewistern College AU that I’m currently indulging in.

Lewistern Mundane Parents AU - they own one of those cute houses in the middle of suburbia. They have two kids, the oldest being their daughter, Anabella and the youngest being their son, Ethan, named after Simon’s dad. Simon works at the high school as a Music Teacher, on the side he plays for his family and friends. Jonathan works for the school as well, as a Chemistry teacher. He enjoys pyrotechnics a bit too much, but hey the sophomores love it. Little Ana loves exploring the outdoors with her brother and occasionally pushing him when he doesn’t do what she says. Ethan juts really likes leaves and gluing them to walls, much to his parent’s dismay. However Grandma Jocelyn swears he’s gonna be the artist of the family. Clary will visit from time to time with her wife, Maia, who just loves hanging out with the kids. They are expecting their own in the Fall. All in all they are a happy family, complete with Pizza and Movie Fridays.

Simon Lewis x Jonathan Morgenstern - soft and hazy in the mornings.

AN: The facts are these, you will have to pry my Lewistern mundane and healthy AU from my under oxygenated, caffeine addicted hands. I just want my bois to have a nice, happy, non-demonic life, where they embody the falling for your best friend’s older brother trope, but in gay. Who do I have to bake cookies for in order to ignore canon and make this happen instead? Who?

Kings of Edom - A Lewistern AU - Simon Lewis x Jonathan Morgenstern

This is based on an AU I was sharing with @seb-verlacs , which she then made even better with her suggestion of my bois ruling Edom.

The Lewistern AU no one asked for but imma write it anyway so hold on tight ft Claia

Jonathan Morgenstern is a grungy college student who studies Chemical Engineering because he’s a NERD. He had an emo phase during his teen years and never really got over it. Ergo the constant band t’s and the huge poster of MCR in his room. Jonathan is hella protective of his smol sis, despite the fact she could take on anyone if angered enough.

So when smol Clary walks into their apartment after school in first grade on a day Jonathan was sick at home, he is surprised to see a smol thing with brown hair and huge ass glasses come through. Immediately he doesn’t trust the dude, until he smiles at him. Then he thinks he’s having a heart attack.

That is how it goes for the most part. Simon becomes a constant in their life. Where ever Clary is, Simon will be right behind. He knows Simon likes his sister, he can see it. He also knows that Clary doesn’t like him like that. In fact, he’s pretty sure Clary doesn’t like boys in general. If the fact she hasn’t stopped staring at Maureen. “But she’s so smart, brother. And she has a pretty laugh.”

He doesn’t think much about him, except that he really does have a nice smile and a really nice laugh. But Jonathan is oblivious to anything else. Like the way Simon sometimes looks at him when he’s laughing with Luke and his Mom.  Or how his eyes brighten when Jonathan ruffles his hair after a Baseball game.

Years pass and Jonathan learns to play the drums and tries to form a band. He’s struggling to find a guitarist when he walks into the Lewis residence because “Becca, I need my textbook back, it’s not my fault you forget everything at school.” when he sees Simon jamming to his guitar in his room.

And, look okay, so Jonathan may have a thing about guitar players. In fact all of his major crushes have been guitar players. Like Calum from 8th period in 7th grade. Who also had brown hair and brown eyes and glasses. Sue him.

Anyway, so his brain short circuits for a bit before he walks into Simon’s room and tells him he’s hired. Simon is a confused, before Jonathan finally explains his band idea. Of course, nothing in Jonathan’s life is easy, so Simon apologetically tells him he’s already in a band.

Jonathan is not bitter. Not is the slightest. And no Clary, he’s not sulking.

“Really, then why are you eating ice cream? You know you’re lactose intolerant.”

“Death is sweeter this way.”

“Alrighty then. MOM JONATHAN IS TRYING TO DIE VIA LACTOSE.”

Needless to say, Jonathan finds a guitarist. Calum is available, but its not as exciting as 13 year old him expected. Still he sees Simon whenever they have band nights in the local cafes. Its usually him, Maureen, and some punk named Eric. Whatever. And then he watches as sings and is once again blown away. Seriously, not fair.

Still, he guesses it is fun watching Simon play and then knowing he’ll be in the crowd watching him. And if his heart soars when Simon bounces up next to him saying that he was awesome or so talented on the drums, well, he’ll deny it.

For a while it’s okay, but then Simon starts seeing this girl Maia and Jonathan kinda feels like shit. So he starts sleeping with Calum, and Eric, and everyone really. And he doesn’t stick around for Simon’s shows anymore. And when he comes over he just stays in his room and doesn’t leave until Simon is gone.

Clary gets concerned and wants to confront him about it, but then Jonathan is graduating and he spends the majority of his summer with his friends or out of the apartment and more importantly away from Simon. Then he’s off to NYU and he only calls Clary, Luke and his mom every few days to keep them updated.

Simon on the other hand can’t figure out what he did. Seriously. All he knows is that Jonathan started ghosting him, doesn’t return his texts and if he does they’re one worded or blunt. He tries asking Maia but she’s busy trying to convince Clary that they should totally date. And when he sees Calum and Jonathan making out after a show, he feels his heart drop, because of course, he remembers Jonathan’s huge ass crush on Calum, and now he’s got him.

And then Jonathan sleeps with Eric and he hates it. Hates it. Hates it so much. And suddenly Jonathan has slept with all of his friends and he’s just so confused. Like, what a way to tell a guy you’re not interested in him. And he doesn’t say hi or talk to him or smile at him anymore and Simon is just so upset and hurt.

Clary officially thinks boys are idiots and finally takes Maia out on a date, much to Maia’s delight. Together the girls do their best to get Simon out of his funk.

“Seriously Simon you can’t just eat poptarts for the rest of your life.”

“Why not? They make me happy.”

“Babe, can you bring me a nerf gun?”

“Already ahead of you.”

So Maia starts dragging Simon to the gym with her and the boy puts on some muscle. They have rom com nights, which are good intentions but just kinda make him feel lonely. But the exercise helps and suddenly he’s writing songs again and before anyone realizes it its winter break. And Jonathan comes home.

He’s changed a bit. He’s also more muscular, though thats mostly because Alec needed a workout buddy and Jace was still in high school with his sis. He’s made some new friends, Sebastian Verlac who is the biggest dork second only to Simon with he’s fucking suspenders and good boy attitude. Really it’s delightful teasing him. And Alec is hilarious with his grumpy attitude and his lawful tendencies, and of course when they get him drunk enough to wax poetic about his not so secret crush on his Poly Sci TA, one gorgeous Magnus Bane. He loves them really, they’re an odd pair of really tall people, but it works.

But he misses Simon. He misses late night jokes and Star Wars trivia. He misses someone helping him with music and his beats. He misses his smile and witty humor. He misses his horrible puns and cult classics. He misses Simon Lewis. And he realizes after Clary announces who her girlfriend is, that Maia is a proud lesbian and in no way was she ever dating Simon.

So when he walks into his home he greets Luke and his mom with a hug, a kiss on the cheek and a hair ruffle for his Sister, and then he walks into the kitchen to grab a glass of water, and stops.

Simon Lewis stares at him, holding a bag of doritos, in a nice tight long sleeved shirt, sweatpants, and his signature Chewbacca fuzzy socks and Jonathan has to remind himself to breathe.

“Hi”

“Hey”

It’s painfully awkward, because the last time Jonathan saw this kid, he brushed him off and now he knows he was wrong and he damns his jealousy and inability to calmly read a situation. Still, after a bit of awkwardness, Simon smiles softly at him and he thinks for a moment that this is a start.

It’s slow, Jonathan trying to reach out to Simon and mend what he broke, but Simon has always been forgiving and Jonathan is immensely grateful for that. When he explains why he was such an asshole, Simon laughs and explains that Maia became friends with him to meet Clary. Aka the really cute redhead with the freckles and button nose.

Things get better and by the time Jonathan returns for his spring semester him and SImon are back on good terms. He visits his family physically more often. Sometimes he drags SImon on to campus with him, just to show him around. He introduces his sister, Maia, and Simon to Alec and Sebastian, and they all get along. Alec swears he is confused by Simon’s existence, but he can tell that Alec would literally punch anyone who would look at him funny.

Its sometime in April when Simon gets his acceptance letter to NYU. Its the weekend and Luke and Jocelyn are on a weekend get away because they are tired. And Clary and Maia are hanging out at the Mall, when Simon stops by and tells him the news. He’s so excited and he’s jumping up and down, and Jonathan is so happy for him and suddenly Simon’s in his arms and Simon’s hands are cradling Jonathan’s face and they’re kissing.

When they pull back, they stare at each other in shock, but Jonathan doesn’t let go. Simon asks if that was okay and Jonathan can’t help the smile that breaks out across his face.

“Yeah, that’s perfect.”

“Good.”

Then they live happily ever after. The End.
