The Dark War has been won, and Clary Fairchild believes her time to rest has come. This all changes one night during a regular patrol mission, where they encounter a peculiar situation, and an even more peculiar girl. 

At first glance, Ember Valenza seems to be nothing more than a dreadfully average mundane. The thought is all but destroyed the minute she is brought into the New York Institute. It is quickly discovered that she has the Sight, and she shows skills and abilities enough to rival a Shadowhunter's own. What's worse, she seems to know too much about the Shadow World, along with too much information about one of the Shadow World's greatest and recently-defeated enemies-Sebastian Morgenstern. 

It soon becomes clear that Ember Valenza is no ordinary mundane. Her harbored secrets are revealed, along with a hidden gift, and new questions arise as Ember strives to take her place among the Shadowhunters.

Will she be worthy enough to drink from the Mortal Cup and Ascend?

Only one thing is for sure: the Morgenstern name is not dead, and its legacy will live on even after the death of its presumed last heir. 

Will Ember be able to restore the abhorred Morgenstern name and save Jonathan's reputation? Is it a risk worth taking, a battle worthy enough to fight? Will Clary and the rest of the Heroes of The Dark War help her through her journey?

Memories Are All She Has by Kirsten_Sharp

This happens after the city of heavenly fire.(In the Mortal Instruments series) She walks in gracefully and says with so much venom, that I flinch, "Sit down and listen." I obey, sensing a very wrong and dangerous vibe from her. She continues, "I am Ms. Smith but you will call me madam." I reply, "And I am Clar-" "I know who you are if not why would I have summoned that demon to kidnap you," she interrupts, glaring at me. I am shocked, why would this lady kidnap me. I am completely perplexed. She must have seen it on my face because she says, "You killed Jonathan Morgenstern when all he did was love you. I HATE YOU. If you weren't there he would have loved me. Now I will take your loved ones away from you." I am just about to reply when she sends electrifying green sparks towards me which make me lose consciousness. When I finally up she says, "I have cursed you. When you leave this house it will be the day of your sixteenth birthday again but this time Simon won't remember you and neither will your other friends especially your lover, Jace. If you get close to them then they will all die after a year. No other warlock can reverse this spell." Clary gets cursed one night by a certain vengeful warlock.

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.

Fear by fandomz_baby

We all know the story... Clary finds out she's a shadowhunter and is taken in by the inhabitants of the New York Institute. But what if someone else gets to her first, someone on the other side? And what if Clary was already a shadowhunter in the past but her memories were taken from her by a certain brother of hers? Clary is forced to face her brother and herself in a fight for her freedom and a fight to save the shadowhunter race from the demon that is Sebastian Morgenstern. Can she do it? Disclaimer: all characters from 'The Mortal Instruments' books belong to Cassandra Clare as does the initial idea. All i really own are the characters i create which will probably pop up later in the story.

Whitestorm || a.l [DISCONTINUED] by gabriellealiza

"Nephilims" That's what they're called, beings that protect the mundane world from demons, beings that are half-angel and half-human. They only have one task, and that's to keep all demons at bay until the time arrives where they can slaughter all demon-kind. Ophelia Morgenstern is a shadowhunter who can't seem to get through a day without making a sarcastic remark. She's undoubtedly one of the best at what she does, but she's also the daughter of the most wanted man in the Shadow World. Alec Lightwood is a brooding shadowhunter with the tendencies of following the rules no matter what. He basically lives his life on the saying, "Sed lex, dura lex." which means "The law is hard, but it is the law." They've known each other for practically their whole lives, and they have always felt a burst of emotions around one another, but with the arrival of the "new" shadowhunter, their whole world flips on its back. With everything that's going on around them, will they gain sight of the feelings they truly have for one another?

Love & Arrows (Shadowhunter Series #1) by RosyStella

Yvanna Abigail Wayland is the younger twin sister of the notorious Jace Wayland. She is more of a rule follower than her rule breaker brother. When she and her brother arrived at the New York Institute after their father's death, she knew she was in for a change - a huge one - but she knew she had her brother with her no matter what. That day, she met the eldest Lightwood son - Alexander "Alec" Gideon Lightwood. It's been ten years, those years were full of fights, of being together and of fighting side-by-side. Everything was going well, that's what she thought until Clary Fray entered the picture. The life Yvanna imagined started to crumble; relationships wrecked and quarrels became more heated between family members, especially hers, all because of the red-head girl. Will love soar over their heads or pierce their hearts as precise as an arrow? For Yvanna, love was like an arrow; fast but accurate knowing it would land on bull's eye but before being an expert in archery there are challenges to be faced. Challenges that demand sacrifice and sacrifice for a Shadowhunter is a relatively normal term. Will there be conflicts or will their promise to each other crumble into dust? When someone comes and wrecks their slowly destroyed lives, will everything be the same again or will this be the glue that binds them together as one? Can love defeat all these challenges the inseparable four will face? Shadowhunters love fiercely and when that's gone, they feel hollow inside which could lead to their downfall. The twins have a saying about love; "To love is to destroy and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed." Can they prove that what their father said is true or will this be the foundation that proves that all love is not perfect? Can love soar through all these conflicts? Can everything go back to the way it was or will they suffer the consequences of it?

Dark Angel - TMI by OneUniversalThought

A 'Mortal Instruments' Fanfiction - Being brought up by Valentine Morgenstern made Clarissa into one of the best Shadowhunters in the world. His ways of teaching were flawless. She had infinite potential... Until he injected her with demon blood, just like he had with Jonathan. Clary could control her demon side, she could even be good if she wanted to but she loved being bad. Being bad gave her more power than she could imagine and she revelled in it. Jonathan found it difficult to control and it took over him. Valentine would say that he just wasn't strong enough but he believed that Clarissa was. Jonathan was without control and father hated that. She was the perfect hunter in her fathers eyes. The demon blood had bonded with her instead of destroying her like it did her brother. When Valentine had died and Clary had nobody left she decided to keep up what her father had been doing. Hoping to make him proud still, even if he wasn't with her. Read to see what happens when Clary meets the Shadowhunters of the New York Institute. Clace story. Sizzy and Malec also. All rights go to Cassandra Clare for all the characters in the story.
