There were detectives, and then there was Clary-
A name passed in pubs like contraband, whispered between crooked lips and desperate hands. A phantom. A shadow. "The one who always solves it." No badge. No official record. Just results, and smoke.
Zach Weller, 19, reporter for the Inkridden Tribune, thought "that's the story." That shadow. That rumor.
Find Clary, write the truth, get his name on the front page, the real front page -not book reviews or school award listings. He needed this.
His father, a desk-bound ex-cop, called him foolish for chasing myths. But Zach had always trusted the trail, and Clary left just enough breadcrumbs.
In foggy 1950s London Clary is a shadow, an enigma, a riddle wrapped in a sarcastic comment. And Clary isn't even HER real name.

The Justicier: Shadow of Justice
The Justicier: Shadow of Justice From one day to the next... the city began to bleed. Atrocious murders, each more brutal than the last, struck without warning - no evidence, no fingerprints, no witnesses. Just silence... and bodies. Detective Anabelle and her team gave everything to catch the invisible hand behind these crimes. And at her side, always calm, always precise - Dr. Hausttyn, the brilliant forensic pathologist. A man whose hands touched the dead more often than the living. A man who seemed to know... too much. Together, they followed the trail deeper into the shadows. Clues led nowhere. The killer always stayed one breath ahead. And every path circled back to the morgue, where secrets whispered beneath steel tables. But truth... is a dangerous thing. Because some truths do not want to be found. And when the mask finally falls, will justice prevail - or will it be justice itself that wears the mask?

You ran from us and from Valentine. And you run away from your feelings." Emery left before the war, working with the Clave. After the war she returns back to the New York Institution to her family.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
