Whiskey Lullaby

A/N 

Listen to this song when the song comes in this fic and I'm sorry already.

The audience applauded as Simon played the last notes of Christina Perri's Thousand Years. Simon didn't smile though. He just bowed slightly and thanked the people who were gathered in Hunter's Moon. "Thank you," he said. "I have one more song and I hope you would listen to the story behind it."

The downworlders and shadowhunters alike stopped talking and listened to Simon. He cleared his throat and started speaking, "I wrote this song to honor two of my friends who are not with us anymore," he told, voice slightly wavering. "Jace, can you come here?" he asked from his friend who had become more like a brother as years passed by. Jace rose from his seat and walked to the stage to stand beside Simon. 

Simon started playing his guitar and singing.

He put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
He broke his heart, he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get him off his mind

Until the night

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory

Life is short, but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees

We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said, "I'll love him till I die"
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Jace sang the next verse.

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much he blamed himself
For years and years he tried to hide the whiskey on his breath
He finally drank his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get him off his mind

Until the night

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory

Life is short, but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees

We found him with his face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid him next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

Both boys sang the last one together.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, laLa, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, laLa, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

The audience had tears in their eyes when Simon stopped playing his guitar. Jace was in tears too. Simon drew in a shaky breath.

"This was written for Magnus and Alec who loved each other maybe too much for their own good. We found Alec five years ago after he and Magnus broke up. I think no one knows why they did it, but one thing is sure and it's that they still loved each other. We found Magnus only two days ago with a gun beside him, just like we found Alec. They are both buried beneath a willow in Idris and I hope they are finally at peace," Simon stopped his speech and let the tears flow.

Beneath that willow, two figures embraced each other. No one saw them, but they finally had found peace for eternity.

Guys I'm sorry about this but this was a random idea that popped into my mind. Also I'm making a discord server for Shadowhunters fans so I haven't had time to write anything. And if you want to go check my Tumblr account it's queenofsparkles.
