OK CASSANDRA CLARE IS OFFICIALLY DEAD TO ME!
DEAD TO ME!
MAJOR SPOILER
And Clace shippers..... grab your torches and pitchforks.
Okay at the end of Lady Midnight copies ( I don't know if only specific copies or every copy gets this) there's a short story called "A Long Conversation" I read LM online and wasn't expecting this little treat ( or it was a treat at the time) while I was casually flipping through a hard cover copy at Walmart. Of course, I wasn't gonna buy a book i've already read for just a few extra pages, so i'm pretty sure I read the story illegally but hey... don't judge. Anyway, It features our favorite characters from TMI. At the start of it Simon declares
MAJOR SPOILER
that he proposed to Izzy. She said yes but wants to have an engagement party on Max's birthday, which is two days away. Clary and co manage to put it all together and the party is going great. Jace pulls Clary aside into a storage closet at the party and
MAJOR SPOILER
proposes to her. Before she can give her answer Magnus comes in and says there's a problem at the los angelous institute. They rush over there and then they fall into play with the events of lady midnight. Their actual apperance is in LM. "A Long Conversation" stops with them going through the portal and clary thinking this: " They were shadowhunters first afterall, but when they returned, she would have to give him an answer. She dreaded it." (Not an exact quote didn't memorize it but about the same thing)
I started fishing around for her answer in LM and sadly, I think I found it. I remember distinctly this quote (not exact) from LM. Robert Lightwood: You better give me a good reason why you interupted my daughter's engagement party. Emma ( thinking): she looked at Jace and Clary and as far as she knew ( I can't remember if as far as she knew was included or something my brain added to keep me sane) THEY HAD NO PLANS TO GET MARRIED
I wish I could find the quote I would but.... it's just.. to coincidental to ignore.
Therefore, I will spend my summer crying and waiting for the next installment to come out.
EDIT I FOOOUUUUNNDDD IT!!!
“Mazel tov to them,” said Jace, leaning against the banister rail. “Anyway, we were at the party, and Magnus got this alert about necromantic magic near the L.A. Institute, and he tried to reach Malcolm, but no luck. So we snuck out, just the four of us. Which is a big loss to the party if you ask me, because I was going to give a toast and it was going to be glorious. Simon would never be able to show his face in public again.”...... clearly connecting to the engagement party in "A Long Conversation"
............................. Enter Robert
What’s going on here?” he demanded. “There was a flare of necromantic magic traced to this Institute several hours ago and your uncle claims to know nothing about it. More troubling, he refused to tell us where you disappeared to.” He spun around, his eyes raking their group—and landing on Mark. “Mark Blackthorn?”
......
“I already said that,” said Clary. Julian had the feeling she wasn’t overly fond of her prospective father-in-law—if he was that. He realized he didn’t know if Jace and Clary had plans to get married.
Yup........ I don't know anymore guys. It's still possible that they are getting married but I have to take the pessimist pov. I'm either right or pleasantly surprised. I don't want to be right though...
