“You’ve got a lot of responsibility now,”Jace said to Julian. “You’ll have to make sure Emma winds up with a guy who deserves her.” 
          Julian was strangely white-faced. Maybe he was feeling the effects of the ceremony, Emma thought. It had been strong magic; she still felt it sizzling through her blood like champagne bubbles. But Jules looked as if he’d been slapped.
          “What about me?” Emma said, quickly. “Don’t I have to make sure Jules winds up with someone who deserves him?”
          “Absolutely. I did it for Alec, Alec did it for me — well, actually, he hated Clary at first, but he came around.” 
          “I BET you didn’t like Magnus much, either,” said Julian, still with the same odd, stiff look on his face.
          “Maybe not,” said Jace, “but I never would have said so.”
          “Because it would have hurt Alec’s feelings?” Emma asked.
          “No,” said Jace, “because Magnus would have turned me into a hat rack.”

          It’s Alec’s turn in the first round of the YA Crush Tourney so Cassandra Clare is sharing a special scene from City of Glass.
          Clare is sharing the original draft version of the scene where Jace kisses Alec to reassure him about Magnus:
          “Drop it, Jace,” Alec said in a warning tone.
          Jace was having none of being warned. “Magnus says it’s because you’re hung up on me. Is that true?”
          There was a moment of utter silence. Then Alec gave a despairing howl of horror and put his hands up to cover his face. “I am going to kill Magnus. Kill him dead.”
          “Don’t. He cares about you. He really does. I believe that,” Jace said, managing to sound only a little bit awkward. “Look. I don’t want to push you into anything, but do you maybe want to —”
          “Call Magnus? Look, that’s a dead end, I know you’re trying to be helpful, but —”
          “—kiss me?” Jace finished.
          Alec looked as if he were about to fall off his chair. “WHAT? What? What?”
          “One what would do.” Jace did his best to look as if this were the sort of suggestion one made all the time. “I think it might help.”
          Alec looked at him with something like horror. “You don’t mean that.”
          “Why wouldn’t I mean it?”
          “Because you’re the straightest person I know. Possibly the straightest person in the world.”
          “Exactly,” Jace said, and leaned forward, and kissed Alec on the mouth.
          The kiss lasted approximately four seconds before Alec pulled forcefully away, throwing his hands up as if to ward Jace off from coming at him again. He looked as if he were about to throw up. “By the Angel,” he said. “Don’t ever do that again.”
          “Oh yeah?” Jace grinned, and almost meant it. “That bad?”
          “Like kissing my brother,” said Alec, with a look of horror in his eyes.
          “I thought you might feel that way.” Jace crossed his arms over his chest. “Also, I’m hoping we can just gloss over all the irony here in what you just said.”
          “We can gloss over whatever you want to,” Alec said fervently. “Just don’t kiss me again.”

“I'll just have them change the entry in the demonology textbook from 'almost extinct' to 'not extinct enough for Alec. He prefers his monsters really, really extinct.' Will that make you happy?”

          “You could have fooled me. Everytime I called you, Luke said you were sick. I figured you were avoiding me. Again."
          "I wasn't. I did want to talk to you. I've been thinking about you all the time."
          "I've been thinking about you, too."
          "I really was sick. I swear. I almost died back there on the ship, you know."
          "I know. Everytime you almost die, I almost die myself.”

“We live and breathe words. It was books that kept me from taking my own life after I thought I could never love anyone, never be loved again. It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them.”
          This one too!!!!

Hi_Its_Rose_

“We live and breathe words. .... It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them. Reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, I felt--I felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamt. I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that truly I just wanted you.”
