The greatest Shadowhunter of his generation is what they say about the legendary Jace Wayland. But, what you don't know, is that they also say the same of his twin sister, Serena. For Serena is many things. She is the Clave Envoy to Downworlders. She is the parabatai to Isabelle Lightwood. And Serena herself, is a Lightwood, because she's married to none other than Alec Lightwood. Having grown up together, the four of them made a promise that whenever they go on a mission, four go in and four come out. Join them as they fight to keep that promise when their world is turned upside down by the introduction of Clary Fairchild, the fiery daughter of the biggest threat to the Shadow World, Valentine Morgenstern. Will they stay together? And above all, will they stay alive? (Seasons 1-3) (A/N: This is the rewritten version of the original story already published. It is also available on AO3. Would like to note that I have nothing against Alec being gay or Malec, I love them, this was just an idea that popped into my head, so please don't hate. Please don't plagiarise any of it.) (Disclaimer: I don't own anything except Serena and any original scenes and dialogue that I have written.)

What is magic? Our argument: nothing but targeted deception. So I want you to look. Look as closely as possible. Because the tricks you are about to see may not seem connected. But we assure you they are. Is what follows one hundred different tricks? Or is it one, giant illusion? - Athena Stark was just a ordinary street magician with high hopes and dreams. Her parents never believed in her 'tricks' and she was always punished and yelled when she performed. So instead she practiced in secret, and little did they know Athena Stark was going to be one of the most well known magicians in the world...

In 2013, a team of undiscovered magicians sparked the modern world. Known as the Five Horsemen, the group executed a series of strategic heists, capturing the hearts of the struggling public and solidifying their legacies as the greatest illusionists of our time. But nine years after a failed stint--resulting in the imprisonment of their leader and friend--the Horsemen have disbanded, vanishing without a trace. *Almost.* Kate Sherman wants to live a normal life. At least, that's what everyone expects of her. Now that the Horsemen have gone their separate ways, the days of vigilantism and cat and mouse chases should be far behind her. But no matter how much time passes, she can never quite shake the feeling that a rouse is just around the corner ... or rather, tucked inside her back pocket in the shape of a familiar tarot card.

SEQUEL TO "DEATH EMPRESS" It's been a year since anyone's heard of the infamous Horsemen's whereabouts after their great stunt pulled off in New York City. After showering their final audience with feign dollar bills and holographically jumping off of a rooftop, the Horsemen remained a mystery to the world--until now. When their comeback performance is interrupted by an anonymous individual who reveals all of the Horsemen's secrets, they have no choice but to flee. Sliding down a tube in New York City, they land all the way in Macau, China, captured by a spoiled technology prodigy who forces them to steal a data-mining device for his own gain. For Kate Sherman, it's been almost a year since she's seen the Horsemen after leaving for her own unknown reasons. As she agrees to join the Horsemen in one more scheme, she has to work alongside people she thought she would never see again, including a boy who she had once promised to never leave behind.

[THIS STORY WAS FIRST PUBLISHED IN 2013. ALL CHAPTERS HAVE BEEN REEDITED AS OF 6/11/16] The five horsemen are consisted of five magicians who are desperate to get into the maybe or not so real secret society of magicians called "The Eye". Although in this fan written work, there is a different kind of magic going on. Something between Jack Wilder and Kate Sherman makes them inseparable, until everything takes a wrong turn.

After over 50 years of darkness and speaking to one another only through the sarcophagus, King Ahkmenrah and his Queen Amunet finally get to see each other again after 4000 year apart, all thanks to one man... Larry Daley

Delusion. Tricks. Lies. Deception. The Horsemen prefer to call it magic. "and now I'm laughing through my tears, I'm crying through my fear, but baby, if I had to choose, the joke's on you" Jack Wilder x OC cover credits: -cleverlittleminx

When my mother was alive, magic was the only string that kept her and I together. The silly card tricks, even pulling a rabbit out of the hat. It all connected me to her, pulling me into a seemingly better reality than where I was. But in the blink of an eye, she was gone. That string snapped. Magic was only real if you believed, and at that point, it was just a game to me. All it did was provide false hope. I forced myself to keep performing for her, deceive others into thinking that what they saw was real. Seeing magic fill others with joy made me question; why. Why would seeing something impossible make someone so happy? Because seeing is believing. And the closer you look, the less you'll see.
