I LOVE number #4It's just so... Will
Mod
It's just so... Will"
*laughs* That it is!
ah i love all of these! i think in the last few months i've read them 30 times!!!#2 do you think cecily's jealous of tessa?! that would be perfect so tessa and will can be together!!! *grins*
#3 do you think jem is going to ask will to be his best man in this quote?!
#4 you're right that is so will:)
#5 hopefully means the wedding won't finish and maybe she can be with will!
#6 oh the irony;)
Mod
#2 do you think cecily's jealous of tessa?! that would be perfect so tessa and will can be together!!! *grins*
#3 d..."
#2: I DEFINITELY think so!! I would love for Cecily to fall for Jem, and try to be close to him, all the while jealous at Tess. Then Will would be angry at his sister for her indifference to Tessa and that would leave Tessa free for Will!
#3: Hmm...maybe. Or, he could be asking him something to do with 1.) his illness or 2.) what will happen to/the welfare of Tessa after Jem dies (haha. I just thought of this: Jem asks him to be there for Tessa if Jem dies. As if Will needs telling, right?!)
#6: Magnus should thank his lucky stars that Alec didn't hear about this particular conversation!!!:D

#3 haha!! you're probably right! i can't wait to see will's reaction to that!

Will's reaction: *blinks* Ah...what?
Jem: *hurriedly* I know, I know - it's alot to ask, but if you could just take care of her...you are under no obligation to, Will, but if you would...
Will: *slings an arm around Jem's shoulders* Of COURSE, my good man!! I shall do everything in my power for Tessa - I'll stick to her side like glue, take her to balls, buy her a library for her own personal use, marry her even-
Jem: *laughs uneasily* Now let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I'm not dead yet!
Will: *stops talking* Damn it- I mean, you're right. I think we'll have plenty of time to talk about this *cough* serious business later.
hahahaha!!! this is perfect! of course my good man! i'm dying over here! :D
Mod
I'm glad you find it funny! Maybe I should start a discussion where I take scenes from books and re-write what could have happened like the one above!!
that's an awesome idea!! you should definitely do it!
Mod
Just added it now!! It's Booknut 101's things folder.

Thanks Anna! IF you ever have any ideas for a chapter, let me know, and I'll be more than happy to write one up!!:D
you're welcome! and will do:)
Im hoping that #5 means she isn't going to marry Jem...he's a sweetheart but tessa and will belong together!

SAME!!!
I feel so bad for Will, he finally realizes he can be with Tessa only to find out she's going to marry his best friend...... That's gotta be tough
Mod
Nothing could be tougher, I think - not to mention he loves Jem so much that it just isn't possible to be so cruel as to fight for the right to have Tessa!!

Teaser #7 (Snippet read by Cassandra Clare on ‘City of Lost Souls’ U.K. tour)
“What are you doing following me around the back streets of London, you little idiot?” Will demanded, giving her arm a light shake.
Cecily’s eyes narrowed. “This morning it was cariad (note: Welsh endearment, like ‘darling’ or ‘love’), now it’s idiot.”
“Oh, you’re using a Glamour rune. There’s one thing to declare, you are not afraid of anything when you live in the country. But this is London.”
“I’m not afraid of London,” Cecily said defiantly.
Will leaned closer, almost hissing in her ear *and said something very complicated in Welsh*
She laughed. “No, it wouldn’t do you any good to tell me to go home. You are my brother, and I want to go with you.”
Will blinked at her words.
You are my brother, and I want to go with you.
It was the sort of thing he was used to hearing Jem say.
Although Cecily was unlike Jem in every other conceivable possible way, she did share one quality with him. Stubbornness. When Cecily said she wanted something, it did not express an idle desire, but an iron determination.
“Do you even care where I’m going?” he said. “What if I were going to hell?”
“I’ve always wanted to see hell,” Cecily said. “Doesn’t everyone?”
“Most of us spend our time trying to stay out of it, Cecily. I’m going to an ifrit den, if you must know, to purchase drugs from vile, dissolute criminals. They may clap eyes on you, and decide to sell you.”
“Wouldn’t you stop them?”
“I suppose it would depend on whether they cut me a part of the profit.”
She shook her head. “Jem is your parabatai,” she said. “He is your brother, given to you by the Clave, but I am your sister by blood. Why would you do anything for him, but you only want me to go home?”
“How do you know the drugs are for Jem?” Will said.
“I’m not an idiot, Will.”
“No, more’s the pity. Jem- Jem is like the better part of me. I would not expect you to understand. I owe him. I owe him this.”
“So what am I?” Cecily said.
Will exhaled, too desperate to check himself. “You are my weakness.”
“And Tessa is your heart,” she said, not angrily, but thoughtfully. “I am not fooled. As I told you, I’m not an idiot. And more’s the pity for you, although I suppose we all want things we can’t have.”
“Oh,” said Will, “and what do you want?”
“I want you to come home.” A strand of black hair was stuck to her cheek by the dampness, and Will fought the urge to pull her cloak closer about her, to make her safe as he had when she was a child.
“The Institute is my home,” Will sighed, and leaned his head against the stone wall. “I can’t stand out her arguing with you all evening, Cecily. If you’re determined to follow me into hell, I can’t stop you.”
“Finally,” she said provingly. “You’ve seen sense. I knew you would, you’re related to me.”
Will fought the urge to shake her.
“Are you ready?”
She nodded, and he raised his hand to knock on the door.
Teaser #8
Will rose slowly to his feet. He could not believe he was doing what he was doing, but it was clear that he was, clear as the silver rim around the black of Jem’s eyes. “If there is a life after this one,” he said, “let me meet you in it, James Carstairs.”
“There will be other lives.” Jem held his hand out, and for a moment, they clasped hands, as they had done during their parabatai ritual, reaching across twin rings of fire to interlace their fingers with each other. “The world is a wheel,” he said. “When we rise or fall, we do it together.”
Will tightened his grip on Jem’s hand, which felt thin as twigs in his. “Well, then,” he said, through a tight throat, “since you say there will be another life for me, let us both pray I do not make as colossal a mess of it as I have this one.”
Teaser #9
Tessa put a hand against the wall as she made her way numbly down the stairs. What had she almost done? What had she nearly told Will?
Teaser #10
Gideon touched her cheek, lightly, with the tips of his fingers. “Did you know your name means ‘wisdom’? It was very well-given.”
Teaser #11
Tessa craned her head back to look at Will. “You know that feeling,” she said, “when you are reading a book, and you know that it is going to be a tragedy; you can feel the cold and darkness coming, see the net drawing tight around the characters who live and breathe on the pages. But you are tied to the story as if being dragged behind a carriage and you cannot let go or turn the course aside.” His blue eyes were dark with understanding — of course Will would understand — and she hurried on. “I feel now as if the same is happening, only not to characters on a page but to my own beloved friends and companions. I do not want to sit by while tragedy comes for us. I would turn it aside, only I struggle to discover how that might be done.”
“You fear for Jem,” Will said.
“Yes,” she said. “And I fear for you, too.”
“No,” Will said, hoarsely. “Don’t waste that on me, Tess.”

“Would you?” said Gabriel to Will, hotly. “If it was your family?” His lip curled. “Never mind. It’s not as if you know the meaning of loyalty —”
“Gabriel.” Gideon’s voice was a reprimand to his brother. “Do not speak to Will in that manner.”
Teaser #2
“He began it,” Cecily said, jerking her chin at Will, though she knew it was pointless. Jem, Will’s parabatai, treated her with the distant sweet kindness reserved for the little sisters of one’s friends, but he would always side with Will. Kindly, but firmly, he put Will above everything else in the world. Well, nearly everything.
Teaser #3
Jem knotted his fingers in the material of Will’s sleeve. “You are my parabatai,” he said. “You said once I could ask anything of you.”
Teaser #4
Jem drew the bow back and let the arrow fly; it struck the creature in the side. The massive demon worm writhed in agony, undulating as it swept its great, blind head from side to side, uprooting shrubbery with its thrashings. Leaves filled the air and the boys choked on dust, Gideon backing up with his seraph blade in his hand, trying to see by its light.
“It’s coming toward us,” he said in a low voice.
And indeed it was, the arrow still protruding from its wet, grayish skin, humping its body along with incredible speed. A flick of its tail caught the edge of a statue, sending it flying into the dry ornamental pool, where it shattered into dust.
“By the Angel, it just crushed Sophocles,” noted Will. “Has no one respect for the classics these days?”
Teaser #5
And the gold of her ruined wedding dress.
Teaser #6
“A very magnanimous statement, Gideon,” said Magnus.
“I’m Gabriel.”
Magnus waved a hand. “All Lightwoods look the same to me.”
