    Summary

    Angels aren’t individuals in the way humans are, or even the way demons are. Independence is a human characteristic. Rebellion is a demonic characteristic. Obedience to their hierarchy is an angelic characteristic.

    Magnus Bane had spent hundreds of years coming to terms with what it meant for him that his father was a demon, and a few short years coming to terms with being in love with a shadowhunter. When the Clave falls, he is confronted over the course of hours, days, weeks, with what it means that shadowhunters, that nephilim, are descended from angels.

    The pain was not "spiritual." The hierarchy was not "traditional."

    The danger was literal.

    The sacrifice was extremely real.

    But it was not the end.

    Ghosts are people who die with unfinished business. Grieving is the process of the living dealing with the business they have not yet finished with the dead.

    Wangji’s unfinished business is keeping aYuan alive. Wuxian’s unfinished business is figuring out how to help him.

    Xichen's unfinished business is settling everything Wangji needs. And his new nephew.

     

    Make sure you have your tissues.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Sometimes the story is worth the writing. Sometimes the plot is worth the spelling.

    SOMETIMES the plot, the composition, the characters and the writing meld into an osmyrrah of fantastic storytelling that let you read any sentence, or paragraph, or chapter - or just heck, let's do the whole thing again.

    Because there's enough plot to carry it through, and enough good humor to make it always worth the time.

    Contrariwise: this is good enough to sooth your spirits back.

    Delightful Harry Raised By Others fic, featuring the sweet folks of Hot Fuzz, several Hogwarts owls relocating to Sandford, and Sirius Black being informed that while being perverted might not be illegal, being a pedophile definitely was.

    Also Fawkes disguising himself as a mynah bird.

    Clean, crisp, upbeat writing, very much a comfort fic.

    Summary

    'Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you want to go apeshit?'
