Summary:

“Asmodeus.” Recognition dawned on Isabelle’s face. “One of the princes of hell.”

“Of Edom specifically,” Asmodeus corrected.

“He’s your father?” Jace asked, shocked.

Alec growled, Asmodeus didn’t deserve to be in Magnus presence, didn’t deserve to lay eyes on him. Magnus had shared the story of his parentage with Alec, and while he knew Magnus had come from Asmodeus’ blood. He was no father to Magnus.

The calendar above indicates this month’s events.

Due to personal and professional responsibilities, I will be in and out of town quite a bit through the first week or so of January. Because of this, there will be a limited posting schedule. There will not be a hiatus.

Barring any extenuating circumstances, the rest of the month will be business as usual with two to three recs posted per day.

New Year’s

Summary:

It’s New Year’s Eve. The year is 1936.

“I hope I’m not interrupting something important,” he says, looking back and forth between the two of them. They are both silent for a moment, and it’s apparently enough of an answer for him to continue. “Could I borrow you for a moment, Mr. Lightwood? I believe we have some unfinished business to settle.”

End the year on a high note with a few New Year’s Eve fics featuring fluff, fluff, and more fluff!

On a separate note, I want to thank all of you for sticking with me. I know things have kind of been touch-and-go from time to time due to my insane schedule lately, but I really appreciate the support that I’ve received. The last ten months of running this blog have been great and I’m really looking forward to continuing this journey with all of you in 2018. Happy New Year!
