The mortal war is over and a year has passed. Clary and Simon went to the newly-opened academy, while you, Jace, Alec and Izzy went back to New York.

Since Alec became head of institute, you and Jace had been working alone mostly. Side by side, as Parabatai. As it all started.

But there had been moments where you thought you could feel a literal spark between you too. You had thought that maybe it was just some residual power from the heavenly fire he had in him before, since the first time it happened was during the last fight in the demon realm, when you thought you were going to lose him.

All parabatai know the rule. Falling in love is forbidden. But what if that's what is happening?

You and Jace were sitting at your secret spot, high up in the greenhouse. You both used to hide there as young, but these days it's been a good spot for just some peace and quiet.

"I heard you had been offered to go to L.A to mentor those Blackthorn kids." Jace stated, watching your reaction.
