The Between. The purgatory where the dead are divided by their cause of death, where they become a bit more than human and a bit less than dead. Will Herondale, Naturi, died of old age, and now goes by the name of "Deimos". Cloaked in raven's feathers with wings as black as night, he hides his face behind a mask. Jem Carstairs, Inferni, died in a final blaze of glory, saving the life of Tessa Gray. Caught between Shadowhunter boy and Chinese dragon, he fights as a deadly silver beast. Parabatai in life. Enemies in death. Each has killed the other twice, without realizing who they are to each other. Now they face each other for the last time-but a single familiar face might just be enough to awaken them to their pasts again.

The world as we know it ended 209 years ago. From a desert wasteland springs a single kingdom, ruled by a tyrannical King and trapped in an endless war against the shadowy desert warriors. As a desperate bid to save what remains of humanity, society has been split into two distinct classes, nicknamed the Court and the Commons. For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone. Reckless and impulsive, wanted by the King's guard, Kay has become known as the Runner. Using the city's rooftops as her personal domain, she manages to keep one step ahead of the King with one hand buried in the purses of the courtiers. Driven by the plight of the commoners and the unjust death of her family, Kay seizes the chance to graduate from small-time thievery to full-scale rebellion. Her opportunity comes in the form of Will, a wealthy ex-soldier with a dark past. Plucked from the streets and thrown into the shimmering palace court, Kay must use her every strength to blend into a world where she doesn't belong, closer to the enemy than she ever thought she would be.

Leah is a Radiant, a dying race that is able to crystallise Light. Plagued for centuries by a parasite able to turn them into mindless monsters known as Lightless, the Radiant's homeland has been long since lost. Leah's seen what the parasite has done to her people's morale, and she's determined to be the one who finds the cure. Only the League of Light still challenge the expansion of the Lightless, but new recruits are growing scarcer, their Radiant blood thinner as the League struggle to maintain numbers. When Leah arrives with her Radiant features and the full ability to manipulate Light, not all of them see her as a blessing. There's a divide between the pure Radiants and the humans who can claim their blood, and with shadows in the League, Leah's going to have to wade through it all if she wants to find her cure.

Almost a year ago, Olivia Shadowheart and Jason Frostsong had to figure out how to protect a city from its own possessed citizens without anyone knowing they'd had anything to do with it. They are Banshee and Cryophoenix--two of six Luminaries that save the Manifested from themselves when the Other takes their minds and turns them into twisted monsters bent on revenge. But like all Luminaries, Banshee and Cryo's true identities are a secret, even from each other. As the newest Luminary pair, not much is expected of them except to learn and train for their eventual responsibility in a few years but Banshee's got ambition. She's determined to be more than Olivia ever could, and with Cryo by her side, they find themselves in the middle of a battle they aren't ready for. Their lives, both civilian and Luminary, are about to collide. The question is whether they can learn to trust each other--both with and without the transformations--or if the Other's growing power will claim more than just their secrets. *+*+*+* [ Both books are in this work. Book 1 is chapter 1-38, book 2 continues straight after] [ NaNoWriMo16 & 17] *+*+*+* Cover by @Prisim

Jem Carstairs never expected to be snatched off the streets and thrown into a cage like an animal, but expectations have never exactly served him well. After all, he keeps expecting to see two people when he looks over his shoulder, but they're never there. Will Herondale never thought he'd be turned into some half-demon thing. All he wanted to do was regain the memories that kept haunting him at night, but he's used to not getting what he wants. After all, he wants the silver boy and the brunette girl in his dreams to be real, but of course, they aren't. Tessa Gray believed she'd lost the two people she loved most forever-until she received an package with Will's dagger, Jem's cane, and a note with the words: come and get them-S., Fallen I. Now Tessa's fighting her way back to Jem and Will, hunting down the mysterious "S" and following the clues that the twisted Fallen Industries seems to have laid out for her, searching for information about the two. Meanwhile, Jem and Will are struggling to control their new, impossible powers before they destroy themselves and everyone else around them-which is looking more appealing by the day. The only reason they haven't yet? Their memories have returned. And they're going to raze Fallen Industries-but with Tessa at their side. Highest rank: #10 in Fanfiction
