TMI Appreciation Week → Day 1: Favourite Character

→ Alec Lightwood

“If Jace was gold, catching the light and the attention, Alec was silver: so used to everyone else looking at Jace that that was where he looked to, so used to living in Jace’s shadow that he didn’t expect to be seen. Maybe it was enough to be the first person to tell Alec that he was worth being seen ahead of anyone in a room, and of being looked at the longest. And silver, thought few people knew it, was a rarer metal than gold.”

ANNOUNCING TMI/TID APPRECIATION WEEKS!

To keep the fandom more active, we had the idea of doing appreciation weeks for both of Cassandra Clare’s amazing series. The appreciation weeks take place from July 14th to July 27th. This means the first week will be all about The Mortal Instruments, the second week about The Infernal Devices.
This is the list of themes for each day:

  • Day 1: Favorite Character
  • Day 2: Favorite book out of the series
  • Day 3: Favorite scene(s)
  • Day 4: Favorite quote(s)
  • Day 5: Favorite Relationship
  • Day 6: Favorite Family
  • Day 7: Favorite Species

The themes are the same for both the TMI and the TID week!
Make sure to tag all your posts with #nephilimweek (this tag applies to both weeks) so we can post it to NephilimDaily. And don’t start posting before the 14th! If you have any questions about the week, don’t hesitate to ask.

Malec Hogwarts AU [Part 2/?]

Magnus Bane’s life is perfect. He is adopted son of a rich, noble wizard family, the best student of his age, Prefect of Slytherin house, & everyone at Hogwarts know him. The only thing that bothers him right now is Alexander Lightwood – the cute, shy Ravenclaw boy with the bluest eyes he has ever seen. They met at Magnus’ party the other day & hit off pretty well, but ever since then Alec seems to avoid him whenever they met. He would avert his eyes when they met Magnus’s and he would even run off if Magnus tried to approach him. Until one late night, he came across Alec studying alone in the library …
