“
There were valuable first editions of books in the enormous library, most of them had been scribbled in by some idiot named Will H.

He grinned, and the grin changed his face completely. Ty when he was still and expressionless had an intensity that fascinated Kit; when he was smiling, he was extraordinary.

“
. I’ll find you something. Something that says Herondale.”
“I could slay with my deadly sense of humor and wicked charm,” said Kit.
“Now that says Herondale.” Jace looked pleased.

“
Ah, Watson,” said Ty. “You may not yourself be luminous, but you are an extraordinary conductor of light.

Making promises you can't keep is worse than making no promises at all.

Ty was near Kit, as he almost always was, like a magnet clicking into place.

“
Alec and I are unafraid to express our manly love,” said Jace. “Sometimes he carries me around like a swooning damsel.”
“Really?” said Kit.
“No,” said Jace. “I’m very heavy, especially when fully armed. What did you want to talk to me about?”
“Actually, that,” said Kit.
“My weight?

“
Christopher, family for me was never blood. It was always the family I chose. But it turns out it’s nice to have someone I’m related to in this world. Someone I can tell boring family stories to. Do you know about Will Herondale? Or James Herondale?”
“I don’t think so,” said Kit.
“Excellent. Hours of your time will be ruined,” said Jace.
”
”
Cassandra Clare (Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices, #3))
“
Kit’s jaw was still set. Jem knew that look. Herondales were always flames, he thought. They loved and suffered as if they would burn away with the sheer force of their own fire.

Kit straightened up. “Nope, I’m good. Come on Brother Hauntingly Attractive.”
“There’s no need to mention this to Tessa.”
“And Yet,” said Kit, “I’m gonna.
”

“
Ty reached out and brushed Kit’s hair away from his face, an absent sort of gesture that sent a shot of something through Kit, a feeling like he’d touched a live electrical fence.
”
”
Cassandra Clare (Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices, #3))
“
Ty’s not my shadow,” said Kit crossly.
“My apologies. I suppose you’re his.
”
”
Cassandra Clare (Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices, #3))
“
So Jace is my actual family," Kit said. "But I can't go live with him, because him and his hot girlfriend are going off on some sort of secret mission."
"Guess you Herondales have a type," Julian muttered.

Cassandra Clare (Lord of Shadows (The Dark Artifices, #2))
“
Funerals are always so sad,” said a woman who had introduced herself as Irina Cartwright, staring at Julian with a deep pitying stare. When he didn’t respond, she shifted her gaze to Kit. “Don’t you think?”
“I wouldn’t know,” said Kit. “My father was eaten by demons.
”
”
Cassandra Clare (Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices, #3))
“
Kit guessed it was because he looked like Jace, if Jace had suffered a sudden and unexpected height, muscle, and overall hotness reduction.
”

“
He looked at the boy with the knife to his throat, the boy whose black eyelashes feathered down against his cheekbones as he glanced away from Kit, and he felt something like a shock of recognition pass through him.
He thought, how beautiful.

“
I’d suggest we go get milk shakes or something to celebrate, but this is kind of a scary neighborhood.”
“Shadowhunters don’t worry about scary neighborhoods,” said Dru.
“Have you learned nothing from the way Batman’s parents died?” said Kit, feigning shock.
Ty smiled. And for the first time since Livvy had died, Dru laughed.

Cassandra Clare (Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices, #3))
“
He remembered something about darkness, about pressure and weighted blankets and silence. Though he had no idea how he was going to get hold of any of those things up on top of a building.
"Tell me," Kit said. Tell me what you need.
"Put your arms around me," said Ty. His hands were pale blue blurs in the air, as if Kit were looking at a time-lapsed photo. "Hold on to me."
He was still rocking. After a moment, Kit put his arms around Ty, not knowing what else to do.

Jem said, “we want you to stay, and to know that the choice is entirely yours, and we wanted to show you something. We want you to know there is nothing in this house more precious to us than you.

“
Whoever you have loved, and however you loved them,” said Jem, “anyone you loved would be lucky.

“
A cruel sort of bond, he thought, that made one person out of two people, and left such devastation when half was gone.

Cassandra Clare (Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices, #3))
“
Kit had never had any siblings, never had a mother, had only had Johnny. His father. His father who had died, and he didn't think had ever looked the way Ty looked now, as if the possibility of something happening to Livvy was enough to break him inside.
”
”
Cassandra Clare (Lord of Shadows (The Dark Artifices, #2))
“
Kit burst out laughing. Ty looked even more astonished than he had when Kit had said he'd miss him. But after a second, he started to laugh too. They were both laughing, Kit doubled up over the blankets, when Magnus came into the room. He looked at the two of them and shook his head.
"Bedlam," he said, and went over to the counter where the glass tubes and funnels had been set up.

“
People are flawed," said Jace. "Not every member of your family is going to be awesome. But when you see Tessa again, and you will, she can tell you about Will Herondale. And James Herondale. And me, of course," he added, modestly. "As far as Shadowhunters go, I'm a pretty big deal. Not to intimidate you."
"I don't feel intimidated," said Kit, wondering if this guy was for real. There was a gleam in Jace's eye as he spoke that indicated that he might not take what he was saying all that seriously, but it was hard to be sure. "I feel like I want to be left alone.

“
You hated the Shadow Market in London,” Kit said. “It really bothered you. The noises, and the crowd —“
Ty’s gaze flicked down to Kit. “I’ll wear my headphones. I’ll be all right.”
“…and I don’t know if we should go again so soon,” Kit added. “What if Helen and Aline get suspicious?”
Ty’s gaze darkened. “Julian told me once,” he said, “that when people keep coming up with reasons not do something, it’s because they don’t want to do it. Do you not want to do this?”
Ty’s voice sounded tight. The thrumming wire again, sharp with tension. Under the cotton of his shirt, his too-thin shoulders had tightened as well. The neck of his shirt was loose, the delicate line of his collarbones just visible.
Kit felt a rush of tenderness toward Ty, mixed with near-panic. In other circumstances, he thought, he would just have lied. But he couldn’t lie to Ty.

As Emma watched, Jace offered Kit a slim silver dagger with a design of herons in flight etched on the handle. Kit took it carefully, nodding his head.

Cassandra Clare (Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices, #3))
“
Now that says Herondale.” Jace looked pleased. “Christopher—can I call you Christopher?”
“No,” said Kit.
“Christopher, family for me was never blood. It was always the family I chose. But it turns out it’s nice to have someone I’m related to in this world. Someone I can tell boring family stories to. Do you know about Will Herondale? Or James Herondale?”

“
Altheia is Greek," Livvy said.
"She was the Greek Goddess of truth," said Kit. He shurgged when they stared at him. "Ninth grade book report."
Ty's mouth crooked at the corner. "Very good, Watson."
"Don't call me Watson," said Kit.
Ty ignored this.
”
”
Cassandra Clare
“
You want a—wait, you’ve been sleeping outside my room because you want a sort of Watson for your Sherlock Holmes?”
Ty’s eyes lit up. They still moved restlessly around Kit as if he were reading him, examining him, never quite meeting Kit’s own, but that didn’t dim their glow.

“
He let the shirt fall and grabbed a Tupperware container of cookies out of the fridge. Maybe he could frustrate the Shadowhunters by refusing to work out and sitting around eating carbs. I defy you, Shadowhunters, he thought, thumbing the top off the container and popping a cookie in his mouth. I mock you with my sugar cravings.
”

Cassandra Clare
“
Kit found himself holding Ty harder, until Ty relaxed under the tight grip of his hands; held him more tightly than he’d ever held anyone, held him as if they’d been lost in the sea of the sky, and only holding on to each other could keep them afloat above the wreckage of London.
”

He wanted to kill anyone who would try to hurt Ty. It was a very peculiar feeling.

The world seemed to be swaying around him, and strange things were important.

“
Where’s Kit, really?” Ty said, “I keep asking, but no one will tell me.”
Magnus looked up. “Kit’s all right. He’s with Tessa and Jem.”
“I know,” Ty said. His voice shook. “I know, but—can I say good-bye to him? If I could just talk to him once—”
“He’s already gone,”
Magnus said. “He didn’t want to say good-bye to you. To anyone really, but I suspect it was mostly you.
”
”
Cassandra Clare
“
Also . . . ,” the faerie said in a rush. “I saw you once, about eight years ago, when you were still . . . I only got one glimpse, but you seemed so hauntingly sad. And so hauntingly attractive.”
“Thank you,” said Jem. “I’m very happy now. Your cough seems to be getting worse, Kit. Do you need medicine as well?”
Kit straightened up. “Nope, I’m good. Come on, Brother Hauntingly Attractive.”
“There’s no need to mention this to Tessa.”
“And yet,” said Kit, “I’m gonna.

“
We could go to Baker Street,” Kit said, without even knowing he was going to say it. “We are in London.”
Ty looked up at that, his gray eyes aglow. “To 221B Baker Street?

“
Ty stood at the water’s edge. He wouldn’t have wanted to be close to the noise and the lights and shouting, and Kit hated that even now he wanted to go down to the beach and draw Ty away, to protect him from anything and everything that might upset him.

Cassandra Clare (Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices, #3))
“
The Council?” said Kit. “How are they different from the Clave?”
Livvy laughed harder.
“I can see how your case might not be successful,” said Ty. “Though I suppose we could tutor you a bit.”
“A bit?” said Kit.
Ty smiled his rare, dazzling smile. “A bit.

“
What’s the Nephilim motto again?”
“ ‘We are dust and shadows,’ ” said Ty, not looking up from his book.
“Some of us are very handsome dust,” Jace added
”

Cassandra Clare
“
It was like holding a loosed arrow: Ty felt hot and sharp in his arms, and he was vibrating with some strange emotion. After what felt like a long time he relaxed slightly. His hands touched Kit, their motion slowing, his fingers winding themselves into Kit’s sweater.

Cassandra Clare
“
Kit miró el anillo que Jace llevaba en la mano izquierda. Era de plata, pesado, y parecía muy antiguo. Y valioso.
—Te escucho.
—Lo único que digo es que esperes una semana. Después de todo —Jace sonrió de medio lado—, los Herondale nunca se resisten a un buen reto.
”
”
Cassandra Clare (Lord of Shadows (The Dark Artifices, #2))
“
—Si haces reír a Livvy, puntúas doble —añadió Ty desde el pasillo.
—Bueno, en ese caso... —Kit fue tras ellos. A fin de cuentas, ¿qué era lo que había dicho Jace? Que los Herondale nunca se resistían a un desafío.
”
”
Cassandra Clare (Lord of Shadows (The Dark Artifices, #2))
“
—¿Y ya te has decidido? —inquirió Jace—. ¿Vas a ser cazador de sombras?
Kit vaciló. No sabía exactamente cuándo había sucedido, pero había sucedido. Se dio cuenta de que fue en la playa, con Sombra, cuando por un momento temió no ser un nefilim.
—¿Qué otra cosa iba a ser?
La boca de Jace se curvó en las comisuras en una sonrisa descarada.
—Nunca he dudado de ti, chaval. —Le alborotó el pelo—. No tienes entrenamiento, así que diría que el arco, la ballesta o los cuchillos arrojadizos no son para ti. Te buscaré algo, algo que diga Herondale.
—Podría matar con mi hiriente sentido del humor y mi encanto matador — bromeó Kit.
—Mira, eso sí es Herondale. —Jace parecía muy complacido—. Christopher... ¿puedo llamarte Christopher?
—No.
—Christopher, para mí la familia nunca ha tenido que ver con la sangre. Fui siempre de la familia que escogí. Pero resulta que es agradable tener un pariente en este mundo.

I have to say I never thought I'd have the pleasure of entertaining the Lost Herondale."
"I'm not all that entertained, actually." said Kit. "We could put on a movie."
Livvy leaned forward. "Sorry," she said. "He gets like this when he's uncomfortable. Sarcastic."
"Who knew that was an inherited trait?

Jem Carstairs und Kit Herondale passierten das Portal gemeinsam - aus dem samtigen, mitternachtsdunklen Schwarz der britischen Waldlandschaft hinein in das von orangefarbenen Lichtern durchsetzte Abendblau einer New Yorker Straße.
