"For people of our intellect, we really are fools."
For as long as she could remember, Esme Montclaire has been taught that being different was the worst mistake one could make. She has been conditioned to be the perfect lady, and shamed away from her passions and hobbies. Esme's mother has raised her daughter in the hopes that she would one day become a loyal wife and mother.
But Esme wanted more. She often spent her nights in her father's study, reading anything she could get her hands on. She read books about any variety of science, desperate for the power that knowledge gave.
Knowledge and charm made a deadly combination. Perhaps too deadly, as Esme's wit tended to scare away anyone who dared get to know her. But if she meets someone as clever as her, will she scare them away too?

City of Shadows
SEQUEL TO CITY OF SECRETS It has been three months since Ember Fairose defeated Jacob Ashwright, and the Shadow World has been lulled into a certain sense of peace, or so it seems. In the New York Institute, Ember is leading the seemingly perfect life-she is raising her ten month-old daughter alongside her fiancé, Jonathan Morgenstern, has her loyal parabatai, Isabelle Lightwood, standing by her side, and has the help and love of all of her friends and family, not to mention that everyone in the Shadow World seems to know her name and face. Ember is presented with new chances and opportunities, but finds herself feeling unsure of the ideas of the future everyone is creating for her. To make matters worse, a familiar evil emerges from the shadows, stronger than ever, calling Ember back to the battlefield. The hope of finally achieving peace in the Shadow World shatters, as does Ember's hopes of living a simple, uncomplicated life with her family. Suddenly the perfect life doesn't seem perfect anymore. Tensions appear in places she never thought possible when a person from Jonathan's past makes an unwelcome reappearance, shaking them to the core with a surprising revelation, and suddenly she finds herself questioning the only thing she never thought she would ever have doubts about. It's bad enough to live with secrets, but when shadows are added to the mix, darkness always follows, and, well- Facilis descensus averno. Yes, the descent into hell is easy, and if there's anything Ember Fairose has learned in the Shadow World, it's that we are all so much lovelier when we fall.

the fallen queen | shadowhunters x teen wolf
"Why aren't you more shocked?" "I live in a world with werewolves, banshee's, twins who can form basically into Megatron, scaly lizard teenagers and washed up has-beens who burn up and come back to life. Hate to break it to you, but none of this surprises me." Sadie's life was anything but normal - from werewolves to banshee's to every other supernatural creature known to man. But one thing that always made sense to her was her family and the life she lived. She grew up as an Argent. She lived under their customs. Abided by her father's code. Trained with her sister to fight against all evil. But the life she lived for eighteen years was one forced upon her. After years of fighting off bad guys, she finally made it to prom. But that was the night when everything changed for her. She was taken by a stranger under the orders of a madman, held hostage for months, suffering a sufficient amount of mental, emotional and physical pain. After five months, she was saved. But, not by the people she had hoped, but rather by a group of stunning people covered with magical tattoos who call themselves "Shadowhunters." Which led to the reveal of the life that was once a secret to her. As it goes... the rise of a king and the fall of a queen... disclaimer; i don't own any of shadowhunters or teen wolf, only my oc and the original characters i create. don't tell my story !!
Sweet Little Serena (Rewrite)
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.)Complete

Secretly Broken *ON HOLD*
Hi! I took over this story from the user @traaassshhh because they will soon be deleting the original story. The story may change a bit because I only have the original eight chapters in a doc. Anyways, here's the description. When Stiles' dad is killed by the most recent supernatural being to terrorize Beacon Hills, he decides to visit his dad's adopted sister (his auntie), Jocelyn Fray, and her daughter (his cousin), Clary Fray. To get away from his pack... his problems. But when he arrives at a burnt-down apartment and his auntie and cousin nowhere in sight, he is thrust into the opposite side of the supernatural spectrum. Deciding to help Clary find her mother and the cup, he is faced with the task of keeping his problems and his father's death on the down low, for the sake of Clary, which is proving more and more difficult, considering he's truly broken. Clary and the others are buying his facade of sarcasm and lies... Except from one sexy shadowhunter...Complete![{1} Hunters [Shadowhunters / The Mortal Instruments]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/158380882-256-k4d2629.jpg)
{1} Hunters [Shadowhunters / The Mortal Instruments]
Clary Fray had turned 18 and she all of a sudden had her world turned upside down. First, her mother and Luc saying they had to have a serious talk with her, then seeing a boy covered in tattoos that apparently neither Simon or Marie could see, then killing some sort of demon-like thing with the 'family heirloom' that her mother called a 'stele', and there was so many other things going on that she could hardly keep track of them all. Then all of a sudden, she is thrusted into a world war of two worlds, the Shadowhunters world which was also the human one, and the Demon one. Then Clary finds out that she has an older sister, Ren Fairchild, who has the same powers she has, except more powerful. Ren is 3 years older then Clary and remembers the day she was dumped by their mother, like it was yesterday. Ren is clearly an able fighter, but can she fight a war, keep her little sister safe as well as her adopted siblings, and still uphold the oath she made to the Clave, while still saving the mother that abandoned her? They will all have to stand together, or none will survive. Welcome to the Shadowhunters.Complete
