When The Rune Glows
You are Y/N Fairchild - Welsh, mundane, and completely unprepared for any of this. You’ve never liked visiting New York. New York means Clary, and Clary has never particularly liked you either - family by blood, strangers by choice. You’ve never known why she resents you. You’ve learned not to ask. But this summer is different. Clary’s world has cracked open, and somehow you’ve been pulled through the gap with her. The Institute is real. Shadowhunters are real. Demons are real. Everything you were never supposed to know about is suddenly your immediate problem. You have no runes. No training. No weapon. What you do have is the attention of Jace Wayland - and that, it turns out, comes with complications of its own. The moment he sees you, something happens. Something that shouldn’t be possible. His parabatai rune - the mark of a warrior bond, sacred and fixed - glows. For you. A mundane girl who didn’t know this world existed forty-eight hours ago. Nobody can explain it. Clary does not look happy about it. You don’t know why the rune reacted, or what it means, or why Jace looks at you like the answer to a question he’s been asking his whole life. You don’t know if you’re in danger, if you’re special, or if you’re simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. What you do know: Clary wants you gone. Jace wants you close. And the Institute keeps its secrets the way all old places do - slowly, and only when it has no other choice.
