valentine’s day with jace ⋆. 𐙚 ̊

ꨄ jace who… didn’t have a lot of affection as a child, so he always makes sure to shower you with love so you never doubt his feelings for you

ꨄ jace who… definitely pretends to hate all the cheesy, modern traditions but secretly loves all the little photo strips the two of you collect and writing you love letters

ꨄ jace who… plans a private evening for you at the institute, taking you up to the gardens and picking a flower just for you, tucking it behind your ear for safekeeping

ꨄ jace who… sneaks a bottle of champagne, sharing it with you between kisses, his cheeks tinged pink from the alcohol and the excitement of being with you that never seems to fade

ꨄ jace who… takes you back to his room, pressing you into the bed and mumbling how beautiful you are, how much he adores you as he kisses you dizzy

ꨄ jace who… takes his time with you, tracing the runes he’s inked into your skin with his fingertips, slowly taking off your clothes like he’s scared to rush this

ꨄ jace who… never stops the sweet words even as he fucks you, pressing hot kisses to every bare spot of skin, repeating your name like a prayer

ꨄ jace who… helps you clean up afterwards, pulling one of his t shirts over your head, pulling you to his chest and humming in contentment as you fall asleep against him

ꨄ jace who… will surely have to hear about this from alec in the morning, who will scoff as his best friend calls him whipped, though he’ll admit it was worth it

ꨄ jace who… swears he can’t remember when he started caring about something as trivial as valentine’s day, but he knows it started when he fell in love with you

NEWS: BOOK 1 OF "THE WICKED POWERS" HAS BEEN POSTPONED (with proof, or so it seems).

[We posted this on X/Twitter, but the news has made it to Tumblr, so let's just repost it here as well😄]

Recently, Cassandra Clare shared that she had just finished writing "The Last King of Faerie" and that she had turned in the manuscript some days before.

Though it was initially announced that it was going to be published in spring 2026, the first book in the series now will be published in fall 2026. The presale page of Better in Black on Walmart confirms it in the description, stating the following:

Okay, so we've seen you all commenting "Well, this is not official cause it doesn't come from Cassandra Clare, this could be a typo, Walmart is not a reliable source".

Oh, well... We did in fact ask Cassie about it and she ACTUALLY replied on an Instagram comment, confirming that TWP1 will be published in fall 2026 (North American time)

(Although she's mistaken here, she DID announce it for spring, it was never fall. But that's just the way Cassie's memory has been crashing lately, considering the issues with some facts stated in Better in Back that contradict the previous canon.)

So, yeah, this was inevitable. We knew this was coming. And you may say "But she said she had turned it in already!"

Yes, she turned in the book, but please do remember that there's still lots to do afterwards. Even if the manuscript is finished, editing it takes some months. The editing stage implies a deeper revision for corrections, rewriting and potentially reworking from scratch parts of the text, all that takes no less than 4 months. Don't forget the continuity reading too!!! Plus the time designing the inside of the book and the cover. Also, printing usually takes place several months before the release date, it's not something they do 1 week before the publishing date, they need a timeframe that allows transporting the hundreds of thousands of books they print with major writers.

We also haven't had any news on the cover (let alone an established release date). Be reminded that Cassie reveals the book covers 1 year prior to the publication of the books. And as this is the start of a new series and the first stage of the grand finale, this book needs more time to properly advertise it, they will likely send ARCs some months before like they did with BIB. Let's not forget Cassie is publishing on a new publishing house, so they need time to make the people know they will be publishing TWP.

Considering all this, there was definitely not enough time, we're only 6 months away from the start of spring in North America😅

So, this is absolutely not a surprise. This was needed. There was no other option. This is all for the best, we all want this book to be worth it. We've been waiting for it for over a decade. The Wicked Powers better be the best books ever written.

The note read: Who could ever love it?

- Tales from the shadowhunter academy

Answer: I CAN!!!! 😤😤😤😤 Magnus and Alec can! The whole TSC characters can!!! And Max Lightwood would adore the little blueberry just as much as he adored his siblings.

And that's a fact!😢

Have fun with the little blueberries sleeping time with Alec and Max watching over him😊💙

Characters belong to @cassandraclare

📚 What books made you love reading? And what are you reading this weekend?? Happy Friday, fellow Bookworms … The weekend has finally arrived. Do you have any reading plans? I have not had much reading time this week, so I’m definitely looking forward to curling up with some books. I plan to finish up *Spare* and *Two Wrongs Make a Right* this weekend for sure. What are you reading this weekend? And do you remember what book, or books, made you love reading? I loved to read as a kid, but didn’t really have a lot of options available. I stopped reading in my teens, but then fell in love with it again when a friend recommended *The Mortal Instruments* series way back when. These are the books that got me reading again, and I’m so glad I found them. ❤️ What books made you love reading?? 📖 📚 📖 📚 📖 📚 #AlltheBooksJan23 #MyFictionalMusings #CourtofReadingJan23 #ReadingintheWeb 📖 📚 📖 📚 📖 📚 #cassandraclare #themortalinstruments #shadowhunters #theinfernaldevices #thelasthours #bookseries #bookstack #currentlyreading #amreading #weekendreading #yabooks #yafantasy #fantasybooks #bookstagram #books #reading #bookpile #booklover #bookobsessed #cozyreading #bookaesthetic #booknerd #bookcommunity #bookphoto #booksaremagic #readingtime https://www.instagram.com/p/CnWqfi4OxJ6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
