Charlotte just moved to the New York Institute after living her entire life in Idris. She never expected to nearly immediately fall for Alec Lightwood, and he for her. Reunited with an old friend, gaining a new love, and making new friends proves to be good for Charlotte after her haunting past of watching her family be killed by vampires. But when Valentine arises, things get complicated. Can Charlotte and Alec's relationship survive? Can she and Jace still remain good friends? Can she even trust Clary? And Isabelle, could she really trust her to fight by her side? Question after question answered and formed in this thrilling fanfiction based off of the Shadowhunters TV show. I do not own any of the characters except for Charlotte, and any other minor characters I create throughout the story. The plot belongs to me, but the setting and most characters belong to Cassandra Clare. By the way, this takes place before the events of City of Bones, it'll ease into that around the middle of the book. This fanfiction was approved by CASSANDRA FUCKING CLARE HERSELF Yes, I fucked up in a lot of places. I was only on book 2 when I wrote it, I didn't really know shit. Please stop going through my book and pointing out every little flaw, I plan to go through and fix it but for now it's ruining my self esteem as an author because I can't even write fanfiction correctly.

"People who hide their feelings usually care the most."

Cover by the brilliantly talented @amxnaah "This is chaos. And not the good kind of chaos. The 'let me go die in a hole' kind of chaos." "Oh calm down. It's not that bad. The boys aren't even here to stab anything." Clary Fairchild wasn't the only daughter of Jocelyn Fairchild and Valentine Morgenstern-just the only known one. She has a twin sister named Everest who's not exactly your average person. She hates sitting in chairs and stools for reasons unknown to her family, she's got purple hair, she's chaotic neutral-chaotic good at best-and she's had ties to the Shadow World since she was 4 years old. Unknowingly of course. But they were there. Seelie friends, vampires who are like brothers, and Shadowhunter besties. Now Everest and Clary are 18 and they're about to have one rollercoaster of a world thrown at them. While Clary pins after Jace and deals with everything involving that mess, Everest deals with an absurd amount of chaos. She has to deal with people going in and out of her life in ways she never thought possible, a new world that she thought she'd only ever read or write about, a sister who has little to no common sense when it's needed, and she's crushing on two guys who just so happen to be crushing on each other as well as her. But, to top it all off, Everest Fairchild has ADHD and is having a hard time keeping up with everything and keeping herself from having an Emotional Overload in the middle of the Institute or worse-lose herself to her own chaos.

Alec Lightwood: acting head of the New York Institute. Samara Fray: a pain in his ass.
