It was the sort of gesture that would have felt dangerous \nbefore, but he found it hard to refuse his parabatai anything these \ndays, the guilt of almost killing him a not-inconsiderable part of the \nweight that was crushing him. He could still hear the Owl's taunting as \nthe arrow went into Alec's chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\"Jace, it's good to see you.\" Magnus's voice interrupted the \nall-too-familiar train of thought, and Jace realized with a start that \nthey'd reached their destination. The warlock looked the same as always,\n but underneath Jace could see a tiredness in his eyes that made his \nheart ache. He opened his mouth to beg for forgiveness again, only to be\n forestalled by a hand on his mouth. \"No more apologies. It was my \nchoice, and I stand by it. Not only would Alexander have been lost \nwithout you, somehow I've become rather fond of you, too.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Magnus chuckled wrily, and Jace blushed, suddenly aware of Alec still\n holding his hand. A tremble ran through him, and without thinking he \nthrew himself at Magnus. The warlock's arms opened immediately, as if \nhe'd expected this, and Jace hid his tear-stained face in the crook of \nhis neck. His legs threatened to give out, but before they could, a \nstrong body pressed against his back, Alec's long arms embracing them \nboth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sighing, Jace let himself be held. He wasn't fine, not by a long \nshot, guilt still churning in his stomach, but for the first time, \nfeeling Magnus's strength, Alec's unwavering loyalty, he thought that \nmaybe he wasn't past redemption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\"You're coming with me to sleep over at Magnus's.\" Alec's tone brokered no argument. \"You haven't slept since Clary, don't think I haven't noticed.\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_s2mail":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[230,197],"tags":[294,298,302],"series":[],"class_list":["post-1998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-alecjacemagnus","category-shadowhunters","tag-audience-all","tag-genre-poly","tag-special-drabble"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shirasade.net\/fiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shirasade.net\/fiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shirasade.net\/fiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shirasade.net\/fiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shirasade.net\/fiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1998"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/shirasade.net\/fiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1998\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2003,"href":"https:\/\/shirasade.net\/fiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1998\/revisions\/2003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shirasade.net\/fiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shirasade.net\/fiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shirasade.net\/fiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1998"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shirasade.net\/fiction\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=1998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
