    Cassandra Clare
    “That's why when major badasses greet each other in movies, they don't say anything, they just nod. The nod means, 'I' am a badass, and I recognize that you, too, are a badass,' but they don't say anything because they're Wolverine and Magneto and it would mess up their vibe to explain.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    “No. That's Clary; shes's my best friend." Simon pocketed his phone. "And she has a boyfriend. Like, really, really, really has a boyfriend. The nuclear bomb of boyfriends. Trust me on this one.”

    “Is this Clarissa Fray?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded familiar, though not immediately identifiable.
    Clary twirled the phone cord nervously around her finger. "Yeees?"
    "Hi, I'm one of the knife-carrying hooligans you met last night in Pandemonium? I"m afraid I made a bad impression and was hoping you'd give me a chance to make it up to-"
    "SIMON!" Clary held the phone away from her ear as he cracked up laughing. "That is so not funny!"
    "Sure it is. You just don't see the humor."
    "Jerk." Clary sighed, leaning up against the wall.”

    “Look," Luke went on, "In all the years I've known him, there's always been exactly one place Simon wanted to be, and he's always fought like hell to make sure he got there and stayed there."
    "Where's that?"
    "Wherever you were.”

    “Isabelle snorted. 'All the boys are gay. In this truck, anyway. Well, not you, Simon.'
    'You noticed' said Simon.

    'I think of myself as a freewheeling bisexual,' added Magnus.

    'Please never say those words in front of my parents,' said Alec. 'Especially my father.'

    'I thought your parents were okay with you, you know, coming out,' Simon said, leaning around Isabelle to look at Alec, who was — as he often was — scowling, and pushing his floppy dark hair out of his eyes. Aside from the occasional exchange, Simon had never talked to Alec much. He wasn’t an easy person to get to know. But, Simon admitted to himself, his own recent estrangement from his mother made him more curious about Alec’s answer than he would have been otherwise.

    'My mother seems to have accepted it,' Alec said. 'But my father — no, not really. Once he asked me what I thought had turned me gay.'

    Simon felt Isabelle tense next to him. 'Turned you gay?' She sounded incredulous. 'Alec, you didn’t tell me that.'

    'I hope you told him you were bitten by a gay spider,' said Simon.

    Magnus snorted; Isabelle looked confused. 'I’ve read Magnus’s stash of comics,' said Alec, 'so I actually know what you’re talking about' A small smile played around his mouth. 'So would that give me the proportional gayness of a spider?'

    'Only if it was a really gay spider,' said Magnus, and he yelled as Alec punched him in the arm. 'Ow, okay, never mind.”

    “I wouldn't change it," Simon said. "I wouldn't give up loving you. Not for anything. You know what Raphael told me? That I didn't know how to be a good vampire, that vampires accept that they're dead. But as long as I remember what it was like to love you, I'll always feel like I'm alive.”

    “Jordan doesn't really care about the blood," Simon said now. "His whole thing is about me being comfortable with what I am. Get in touch with your inner vampire, blah, blah."
    Clary slid in next to him onto the bed and hugged a pillow. "Is your inner vampire different from your...outer vampire?"
    "Definitely. He wants me to wear midriff-baring shirts and a fedora. I'm fighting it."
    Clary smiled faintly. "So your inner vampire is Magnus?”

    “That does it," said Jace. "I'm going to get you a dictionary for Christmas this year."
    "Why?" Isabelle said.
    "So you can look up 'fun.' I'm not sure you know what it means.”

    “Alec looked at her and shook his head. "How do you manage never to get mud on your clothes?"
    Isabelle shrugged philosophically. "I'm pure at heart. It repels the dirt.”

    “I get the feeling," Alec said, and smiled, "she hasn't forgiven me for betraying you, as she sees it."
    "Good girl," said Jace with appreciation.
    "I didn't betray you, idiot."
    "It's the thought that counts.”

    “We shouldn’t,” protested Isabelle. “The Clave has a plan.”

    “The Clave has the collective intelligence of a pineapple,” said Jace.

    Alec blinked up at them. “Jace is right.”

    Isabelle turned on her brother. “What do you know? You weren’t even paying attention.”

    “I was,” Alec said, injured. “I said Jace was right.”

    “Yeah, but there’s like a 90% chance of me being right most of the time, so that’s not proof you were listening,” said Jace. “That’s just a good guess.”

    “I've noticed the Fair Folk often say 'perhaps' when there is a truth they want to hide," Clary said. "It keeps you from having to give a straight answer."
    "Perhaps so," said the Queen with an amused smile.
    "'Mayhap' is a good word too," Alec suggested.
    "Also 'perchance,'" Izzy said.
    "I see nothing wrong with 'maybe'," said Simon. "A little modern, but the gist of the idea comes across.”

    “Don't bother her, don't try to talk to her, don't even look at her, or I'll fold you in half so many times you'll look like a tiny little origami werewolf.”

    “Isabelle looked at him thoughtfully. "Did you seriously jump thirty feet out of a Malachi Configuration? Did he, Alec?"
    "He did," Alec confirmed. "I've never seen anything like it."
    "I've never seen anything like this." Jace lifted a ten-inch dagger from the floor. One of Isabelle's pink brassiers was spread on the wickedly sharp tip. Isabelle snached it off, scowling.”

    “It doesn't hurt."
    "But my eyes do," said a coolly amused voice from the doorway. Jace. He had come in so quietly that even Simon hadn't heard him; closing the door behind him, he grinned as Isabelle pulled Simon's shirt down. "Molesting the vampire while he's too weak to fight back, Iz?" he asked. "I'm pretty sure that violates at least one of the Accords."
    "I'm just showing him where he got stabbed," Isabelle protested, but she scooted back to her chair with a certain amount of haste.”

    “Stop it." Isabelle tapped a booted foot in the shallow water at the lake's edge. "Both of you. In fact, all three of you. If we don't stick together in the Seelie Court, we're dead."
    "But I haven't-," Clary started.
    "Maybe you haven't, but the way you let those two act..." Isabelle indicated the boys with a disdainful wave of her hand.
    "I can't tell them what to do!"
    "Why not?" the other girl demanded. "Honestly, Clary, if you don't start utilizing a bit of your natural feminine superiority, I just don't know what I'll do with you.”

    “I am here to determine my relationship."
    Simon goggled. She couldn't be talking about him. Could she?
    "Do you see that man?" Isabelle asked, pointing at Simon. Apparently she was talking about him. "That's Simon Lewis, and he is my boyfriend. So if any of you think about trying to hurt him because he's a mundie or--may the Angel have mercy on your soul--pursuing him romantically, I will come after you, I will hunt you down and I will crush you to powder.”

    “I think about him all the time,” she said. “It’s awful. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before.”
    “You mean Simon?”
    “Scrawny little mundane bastard,” she said, and took her hands off Jordan’s chest. “Except he isn’t. Scrawny, anymore. Or a mundane. And I like spending time with him. He makes me laugh. And I like the way he smiles. You know, one side of his mouth goes up before the other one—Well, you live with him. You must have noticed.”
    “Not really,” said Jordan.
    “I miss him when he’s not around,” Isabelle confessed.”
