✹ ☀ Charlie Starkweather was a wanderer with blood on his hands. For probation, he's taken to the London Institute; the sentencing for what he had done would have been more brutal had it not been for his age and family influence. Though he would rather have suffered death at the hands of the Clave than suffer painstakingly in his current state-a ghost to the world around him; smoke of the flames in his soul, surging out of his lungs. In his bitter spite, against the people who refused to believe his innocence, Charlie Starkweather was killing himself slowly. Unintentionally deliberate. All he wanted to do was fly, to be free, but even someone as bright and fiery as him needs to drown in the deadly blue waves of his inevitable demise. As flashing, jagged, and so blue as pansies. As alluring and dangerously wicked as the gaze of William Herondale.

" surprise . "
" i thought you were dead . "
in which an afterthought
that haunts a man comes
back to life to get him!
" you left me in the dust
without a thought ! "
" i had to do what i needed
to win the game ! "
