The Story of How You Met Jace

A/n: You're really good friends with Magnus.

You walked up to Magnus's apartment. He had invited you over for a little bit of time together in the brief period of peace that was happening in the Shadow World. He said he wanted to do normal stuff with you before someone decides that it's getting too peaceful and does something stupid to get shit stirred again.

You knocked on his door, even though he told you not to do that. It was a force of habit though. The door opened to see Magnus talking to a guy around your age, who was obviously a Shadowhunter. He was attractive, you had to give him that, but he seemed like the kind of guy who knew that he was and used it to his advantage.

You saw the guy whisper something to Magnus and from the look Magnus gave him said that whatever he just said was rather stupid.

I just kind of stood there, sizing up the situation, trying to decide if this guy was a friend or a foe. On the one hand, your pack had always told you that Shadowhunters couldn't be trusted. It had been drilled into your head since the day you joined the pack. But on the other hand, Magnus was talking to him in a calm manner, and there didn't seem to be any kind of an issue.

What made up my mind was when Magnus beckoned me over and introduced me to this stranger.

"Y/n. Meet Jace Herondale. He's one of the few Shadowhunters I can actually trust." And that decided it. If Magnus trusted him, then so did you.

He looked at you with his eyebrows scrunched together as if you were a puzzle you couldn't figure out.

"Can I help you?" You said sarcastically. He grinned, seeming like he liked your spark.

"I was just thinking that you're really pretty, and I was trying to decide whether or not it was worth telling you." Now it was your turn to grin.

"You know, I was thinking that you were attractive, too, but I wasn't going to tell you because you look like a dick." He burst out laughing at that. I was beginning to find it attractive that he could deal with my honesty.

"Okay, I'll be honest with you, I have my moments. You could ask my parabatai. It drives him nuts sometimes. Now with that being said, would you ever consider going out on a date with me?"

Well, that escalated quickly, you thought to yourself. You knew that when your pack found out about this, you would get hell for it, but at that moment, you couldn't really bring yourself to regret it.

Your smile grew bigger. "Yeah. Yeah, I would totally consider it."

I think that went well. I can't really think of anything else to say except that the next 14 chapters will be how you met each character in the order that they have been in thus far.

I have also realized that I have forgotten some of the characters. I had meant to do Maia, Jordan, Jessamine, Sebastian, and Ragnor. But I forgot and now I feel slightly stupid, even though I know I'm not. I'll probably go back through and update those, to get those characters in as well.
