Thanks for your letter! We’ve never been to Cirenworth but it sounds beautiful. Funny to think of quiet, modest Jem and Tessa living in a turreted MANOR HOUSE. It sounds like Kit’s settled in well and really become part of their family, which is wonderful to hear. And we need more pictures of Mina! Never enough pictures of Mina! I will drop a line to Tessa immediately.
But mostly I wanted to say: please don’t worry yourself about Ty and Kit. You’ve got a house to renovate and fairy renovators to manage and a ghost to help and a curse to break…it’s a lot on your plate already. You know Ty, and you know he always speaks his mind. He’s made it clear he doesn’t want to talk with us about Kit. Whatever happened between them (and yes, we’re curious, of course we’re curious!) we have to respect his wishes.
Besides, you remember being a teenager. It is a time of HIGHEST DRAMA. (Uh, admittedly, your teenage years contain some specific drama that most people’s don’t, e.g. the civil war in the Clave, Malcolm, you turning into a glowing giant stomping on people.) (Yes, we know you didn’t actually stomp on anyone.) With a little more time and distance from whatever happened, I bet Ty will eventually come around and want to talk about it. We just need to give him time. And maybe Ty needs more time than most people. (For instance, it turns out he needs more time than Kit.)
Either way, please don’t worry too much. You know as well as I do that Ty is stronger than he seems. He’ll be all right.
Thanks for the picture, which Aline is going to have printed out at the drugstore so we can hang it on our well. I think we’ll put it in the kitchen—I miss our CHAOS BREAKFASTS. (Aline has come by to read this and she says that she is going to switch her primary Shadowhunter weapon and start training to fight with Chaos Breakfasts.) Here’s a photo for you in return! Tavvy has gotten deeply into Pokemon, which is very cute and also worrying. Will memorizing 700+ imaginary monsters get in the way of his learning the names of actual demon types or weapons? We worry he won’t be able to tell the difference between a glaive, a guisarme, and a bec de corbin!
Love you, love to Emma and hey, love to the ghost, ghosts need love too,
“Wait,” said Helen. “So you’re saying that your boyfriend isn’t the leader of the Crimson Hand, but you have another travel companion who is? Like, do you always insist on traveling with cultists?”
Alec glanced at Aline for support, but she only spread her hands, as if to indicate that she felt Helen was making a fair point.
“No, I always insist on traveling with cult leaders ,” said Alec.

The eldest sister of the family! We weren’t able to see much of her but I love the ralationship Helen has with Aline, they are just perfect for each other! Hopefully there will be more of them in the next chapter?
“It’s a classic love story. I hit on him at a party, he asked me out, then we fought an epic magical battle between good and evil side by side, and now we need a vacation.”
Aline, seeing Helen making breakfast: Good morning love of my life, my beautiful wife, do you enjoy stealing my shirts every FUCKING morning? like do you feel bad at all? be honest.
She remembered the first love note Aline had ever written her. The curves of your lips rewrite history. The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. Later, she’d found out it was an Oscar Wilde quote, and had said to Aline, smiling, You’ve got a lot of nerve. Aline had looked back at her steadily. “I know. I do.”

Aline tugged at her skirt. “Do you - want a baby?” Helen scooted close to Aline, pulling her wife’s cold hands into her lap. “My love,” she said. “I do! Of course! It’s just - I still think of us in exile, a little bit. As if we’re waiting for our real life to truly start up again. I know it’s not logical… .”
Something I wanted to do for quite some time became finally reality! A collab with the amazing, beautiful, talented @thorndale
We made a joined Haline fanart where each of us drew one character. Look at her Helen!!! Seeing both of our styles next to each other…I got blessed All in all was it such a fun thing to do and honestly working with her was like sharing the same brain cell
I definitely want to do more collaborations in the future!!!
PS: If you haven’t follow her yet… SHAME ON YOU! What are you doing here??? Go to her account! Sent her love, likes and follows and say I said Hi
