A new snippet!
(well, new to me anyways.)

“Wo wei ni xie de,” he said, as he raised the violin to his left shoulder, tucking it under his chin. He had told her many violinists used a shoulder rest, but he did not: there was a slight mark on the side of his throat, like a permanent bruise, where the violin rested. 

“You — made something for me?” Tessa asked.

“I wrote something for you,” he corrected, with a smile, and began to play.

Awwww. JEM! That’s so sweet! 

Goshdarnit. Now I feel conflicted because I NEED Will and Tessa to end up together….

I bet Cassie Clare just wakes up every morning plotting about how she can further break my heart…

Yet another CP2 snippet!

Y'ALL.... I can't help it! I shamelessly stalk the internet--but mainly Tumblr--for all things shadowhunter related.....

Anyways, in honor of Magnus's showdown in the YA Sisterhood's Crush Tourney, Cassandra Clare has gifted us with a Will and Magnus scene from CP2!!!

“If Jem dies, I cannot be with Tessa,” said Will. “Because it will be as if I were waiting for him to die, or took some joy in his death, if it let me have her. And I will not be that person. I will not profit from his death. So he must live.” He lowered his arm, his sleeve bloody. “It is the only way any of this can ever mean anything. Otherwise it is only —”

“Pointless, needless suffering and pain? I don’t suppose it would help if I told you that was the way life is. The good suffer, the evil flourish, and all that is mortal passes away,” Magnus said.

“I want more than that,” said Will. “You made me want more than that. You showed me I was only ever cursed because I had chosen to believe myself so. You told me there was possibility, meaning. And now you would turn your back on what you created.”

*SOBS* MY SHIP!!!!
