employment ama, daemon: anned
Preferred Alias: Magnus Lightwood-Bane
Worst Job(s) Held: That might be a toss-up between escorting a ship full of animal droppings through enemy waters and nearly anything involving politics. At least the former was a one-way trip (to the bottom of the ocean, but nonetheless). I got less muck on my shoes, too.
Best Job(s) Held: Transportation adviser to the queen of France. Club owner in multiple universes. I did a brief turn as a private investigator, trench coat and all. Oh, speakeasy operator! No trench coat for that one.
Fantasy Job(s): Perhaps one day I'll open a night club in outer space...
Current Job(s): High warlock. Until recently, club owner. Baked good taste tester. I also work full-time as one half of the Lightwood-Bane Coalition for Uninterrupted Date Nights.

You know that as well as I do.

I won't storm into your own place unannounced, don't worry
no subject
You guys were supposed to be out.
[ On a date of your own, for the record. ]
I'm just teasing you anyway. I won't get in your way.

Have you talked to Clary?
no subject
we talk all the time. have you?
[ Intentionally obtuse? No, not Jace. ]

Alec, I can't. There's more than this she doesn't know. She's from before we captured Valentine, before the sword, before all of that
She thinks Jocelyn is still alive
You want to be the one to tell Clary her own future? Because I don't, and I can't tell her part without explaining it all.
private
right. he hadn't anticipated that to hit him the way it does. ]
You could figure out a way to tell her you're not her brother that doesn't involve... doesn't involve changing everything else.
Are we just going to lie to her, then?
private
She's lost so much. She doesn't need to know about it yet, she has enough to deal with here.

If we tell her, how do you think she'll react
She already tried to bring Jocelyn back once, and that was when she had no choice but to deal with it
You really think we could tell her this and she's just accept it as fact?
private
But that could alter things. Timeline wise.
private
We can't afford that. Not with Valentine finally in custody, it's too important
If I could go back, there's a hell of a lot more than what happened to Jocelyn that I'd want to change, but we can't
We can't let our emotions lead on this. We have to make the right call for the greater good

Alec think about it. You know Clary, she'd want to do something about it
Anyone would, and the same goes for all the rest. If I tell her I'm not her brother now, would she go back and tell me? She'd have the exact same problem we have right now
We don't know what else it would change. You really think it's worth the risk just to ease our conscience? All we'd be doing is putting the burden on her future instead of our present.
private
I dont want to lie to her about this but we cant risk that.
private
We can't risk changing what's happened and making things worse
Losing more people, or failing to get Valentine
