Martin Blackwood is Barnabas Bennett. Kind of. (MartinElias, but endgame is JonMartin.)
----
Martin took a deep breath, double-checking his appearance in the mirror. He tried to look as best as he could- After all, he'd be having an interview with the Head of the Magnus Institute, Elias Bouchard.
Which was very nerve-wracking.
Truth be told, he'd always felt some sort of draw to the place, or at least the name. It felt oddly.. familiar.
As if there was something he should know, perhaps an old memory that he doesn't recall. Which was.. weird. He'd never faced anything out of the ordinary, or 'supernatural' either, so he had no reason as to why he felt as if he should recognize the institution in the first place.
---
.."Barnabas Bennett". Martin couldn't say why, but he felt as if he'd heard that name before. As if there was a familiarity with it, yet one he could not name.
Barnabas sounded like a bit of an old name. Certainly not one that would be used often currently.

"The only reason you want to marry her is because you thought that maybe the commitment will make you forget him." Magnus point his finger at Alec's chest. "You-" "And just to make yourself better, also prove it to him and to others that you got no feelings whatsoever with him. All because of that stupid one-sided love you got." Magnus smirks.

Nevermore 》 Shadowhunters
Of course it would be raining at a time like this. But, I can't think about anything except the big news he brought on me. I had to get away. I couldn't stay at the Institute with him still there. I knocked on the door. I don't even care if my makeup is ruined or that fact that I'm still crying, I need to stay somewhere else and this was the best place I could think of. I tried to smile, "Hey." He noticed my bloodshot eyes, "Samantha, what could I do for you?" "I was wondering, if I could stay here for a few days?" I choked as I wiped the tears in my eyes. Magnus gave me a sad smile while opening the door, "Of course. Now, tell me what happened?" [Disclaimer: I do not own Shadowhunters. Just Samantha Wayland and her plot.] [Season 1]Complete

WE WALK ALONE [Jon Snow]
"Jon Snow?" Sage asked without missing a beat. Jon turned around startled, not expecting someone to interrupt his and Olly's lesson. "Aye?" He answered, recognising the girl from Stannis' attack against the Wildling camp. She still wore her hair in a long braid and had the same simple clothes of leather. She was holding a bo staff in her right hand. "Your friend Samwell Tarly doesn't believe a blind girl without a sword can fight therefore I'm here to prove him wrong. So, would you like to spar?" She asked. Jon, startled by the upfront question had a hard time giving an answer. Instead, he found himself lost in those unique cloudy grey eyes and the secrets they hid.Complete
There's A Boy in my Bed (BoyxBoy)
"We can't do this." I whisper as our lips re-connect, a tingling fire surging through my body as his hands ravage unexplored lands; my innocence dissipating away with every peck he trails down my neck. "I know we can't. That's why it's so exciting." He replies through kisses. His effortless charm intoxicates me; drowning me; hunting me; devouring me. "What if my brother finds out?" The perpetuated patter of the rain unable to subdue my groan as he digs his nails deeper into my skin. "Who cares." ********** Welcome to my story, where an innocent boy finds a not so innocent boy in his bed; where they do not so innocent things. - YOPComplete

"Shut it!" Chills shoot down my spine as if someone just dumped a bucket of ice water down the back of my shirt. What is he doing? I know he can get angry sometimes, but he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me in public, would he? I wait and wait for him to do something, but he does nothing because we get interrupted by a loud voice that sounds through the quiet of the night. "Hey!"

Behind Closed Hearts
""I don't hurt myself. I don't. I don't." He inhaled sharply. Through his mind flashed images of Nathen at his worst, towering over him with that look in his eyes. James flinched into his arms, gasping. "I wish he would just leave me alone," he said lowly. Suddenly something grasped his arm and James knocked himself backward in surprise. His head shot upward and he was terrified. Aleks was clenching James' arm from where he was lying with a murderous look on his face. It was one James had never seen on Aleks' face. Ever. It stopped James' tears instantly. The cool air brushed his drying tears as the two stared each other. "Who is it, James?" Aleks growled out. "Who?"" Aleks and James' parents died and they were left with nothing but eachother. What's worse is that they are forced to move to a new town and live with separate families. At first, things looked good: they didn't live far from each other, they went to the same school... but then things take a turn for the worst when James doesn't live up to his new parents' expectations.Complete
