clace clarymorgenstern jaceherondale themortalinstruments

My name is Clary Morgenstern. I'm sixteen years old and have been living with my dad ever since my parents divorced. After six years of moving from place to place we're back in New York. 

Only I'm not an innocent ten year old girl anymore. I have scars. I have my ghosts. And above all--I have my secrets.

I was hoping to start fresh with everyone I met in New York. I wanted to find love and happiness. I wanted to leave the constant path of horrors that follows me and maybe get off. But as my mother used to say...

The carousel never stops turning.

And I'm just not what I seem.

Behind the Shower Curtains (Revised) by BellaWrites13

Clarissa Morgenstern, heir to the fashion giant Morgenstern Co., has always lived in the shadow of her family's wealth and influence. But when a violent robbery shakes her father's penthouse, her mother, gripped by fear, moves her to a local public school for safety. As Clary navigates this new and unfamiliar world, she is horrified to discover that her attackers are now her classmates. A/N: I originally wrote this story in 2019, I decided to rewrite it in 2023, and now it's 2024. My writing has improved, and I hope the story is more enjoyable to the people who loved the original concept. I have made a couple changes to the original version, but all of them were made with love and creativity as well as hope for a more interesting story. I will be updating once a week up until this book has caught up with the original, after that I will let you know the timing between updates. I do have a planned ending for this story, so hopefully I am able to not only make this story better, but give it the ending it deserves. Thank you so much for your support. Love you all <3 -Bella

Shadows | Clalec by iovemay

[COMPLETED] "Emotions are nothing but a distraction, Clary." He said and I looked at him and knew that his heart and soul was filled with ice-cold nothing... Clary had been a normal girl her entire life and lived as a mundane. She always had loved to draw everything that inspired her and always stayed away from drama. She applied for the art academy in Brooklyn and was about to go to college. One day she met the mysterious Alec in a club and was determined to get to know him but didn't knew what secrets he held deep inside his heart and did not expect to become a part of it... All the characters belong to Casandra Clare, not me! The storyline is different and has an original storyline and is nothing similar to the show nor the book. ©iovemay 19/10/18 - 1 in #clalec

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. That one night turns her whole world upside down. She has no one to trust, to depend on, to love. Will she survive this like she survived everything else or will she lose herself along the way? On top of that horrible sundae of a life there's a cherry of danger to top it off. More and more problems pile up on her plate and she is burdened with all of it. As usual she has to vanquish evil and save the world. Can she do it? Does love really conquer all and survive through the worst of odds? Read to find out!

The Mortal Instruments: City of Past Ghosts (Book 1) by initialfindings

Clary is pronounced dead by the Clave, leaving Jace heartbroken and never the same.

But convinced she is HIS Clary, the one rumoured dead by the Clave, Jace tries his very best to save her and bring her back to the Shadow World. To him. Things are complicated when they find something that can threaten the whole of the world-something far worse than Sebastian Morgenstern. Many are after it and the Clave are thrown into a havoc-especially since it involves Clary and Jace himself. Jace will stop at nothing to keep Clary safe his actions may cost him his Nephilim blood, his family and his ultimate love, Clary. _____________ © 2014 by @EndarkenedWarrior

Project Reunion by ShelvesHalfEmpty

(Sequel to Project Revenge) "You asked me to run away with you once, do you remember?" A conversation plays in my mind like a song. Slow and distant. "Yeah," he sighs wistfully "i remember." He looks at me up through his long, blonde lashes from where he's perched on edge of his mothers corner sofa like he shouldn't be looking at me at all. Like somehow he's sinning. "Do you ever wonder what our lives would be like if we'd actually gone through with it?" A question i had asked myself every single day for eight years. I watch it register across his face. "I did. It used to be all i thought about." He admits and rises from his seat to busy himself with straightening out the picture frames on the side table. His long, tan fingers lingering on some more than others. "What's changed?" His back tences as i ask and he turns to me attempting to straighten out his disheveled shirt and tie "Everythings changed Clary. I'm getting married in the morning." °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Time changes everything, even love. Clary Fray had convinced herself that, despite everything, she was over Jace Herondale. She no longer thought about his lazy smirk and care free attitude, his bright gold eyes that could put the sun to shame or even the way those eyes had looked at her once the way mankind gazed apon the night sky. Or so she thought until she recieved an invitation to his wedding and the years melted away.

That is were the wedding is taking place. This is the first time I will see Jace in those three and a half years. Everything will be fine...right? Highest ranking: #15 in Clary - 8/11/18

Clace's Story by 1234clace

What would life be like for Clary Morgenstern if she had a normal Shadowhunter family? Her brother didn't have demon blood, her father wasn't a maniac and Jocelyn and Valentine couldn't be happier. Clary and Jace Herondale have been friends since they could walk. What happens when Clary finds out Jace has had a huge crush on her? Will friendships turn to more or will they be destroyed? Disclaimer. I do not own the characters all rights go to Cassandra Clare

Belonging to Brooks by Madelyn8110

Life seems perfect from the outside. Atleast for everyone else who looks at the family that Clary thought she needed and craved. The love they promised, drew her in. But growing up being thrown from foster home to foster home? She should've known how it was going to be, right? The abuse. The names. The hate. All emotions flown out from her heart... Atleast that what Clary thinks... Till her knight in...well shining boots? Comes along. But what will happen after all the pain? After the hell she's put through? Will she ever truly be loved? Will she ever let anyone in? Or was it really love at first sight? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warnings! There is self-harming, abuse, rape and bullying included in this book! If you have strong triggers against any of these, I'd recommend moving on! There will maybe be a sexual scene or two in this book. Just a warning before you continue! I would recommend this book for 16+, please.
