The Sibling Matchmakers Club

Ch. 6: And So It Begins

here’s the link to the latest chapter on AO3!

normally I’d post the full chapter here as well but I thought it’d be easier not to this time since I doubt a lot of people remember this story and I know it’s kind of a dead fandom at this point. either way, here’s the first chapter on both tumblr and AO3 for anyone who’d like to check it out! it’s a Parent Trap AU for Herongraystairs, with Mina, James, and Lucie getting switched!

BIG UPDATE: me and The Sibling Matchmakers Club

hey everyone. it’s sure been a while!! two years have came and went, new books in the series have been released, and I haven’t updated my main fic TSMC in a long long time. if you don’t know who I am or remember me, I’m Ellie and I’ve written a couple fics but mainly The Sibling Matchmakers Club which is a parent trap AU for TSC on here and ao3!

here’s the link!

for anyone still interested (if anyone is still here and interested in TSC lol) I’m actually planning to update! a lot of things happened and life was too hard to write for a while, but I never actually lost interest in that fic and I always wanted to go back to complete it. now is that time!

I am going to be updating TSMC on a day this coming week!

I’m even planning to start working on chapter 7 directly after I post chapter 6 and already have it all planned in detail, so all hope is not lost!! TSMC will be completed no matter what!!! I still remember when I first came up with this idea and outlined/planned the entire story, and I never lost that excitement for it. I also want to really thank everyone who ever supported me in my writing, and everyone who left comments both on AO3 and on here!! <3 <3 <3 those comments (especially the ao3 ones I’ve gotten throughout the past 2 years) have especially kept me determined to finish it!

I also have a couple halfway finished one-shots for TSC that I plan to complete!

those won’t be out as soon since I want to focus only on TSMC for the moment, but know that I have 2 separate one-shots that are halfway done! one is a Kitty AU where they’re college students stuck in a snowstorm (that I wrote the first half of on Valentine’s Day of 2020… now isn’t that crazy) and the other is a family centered fic about Kit learning to deal with affection from Jem and Tessa! so those will be out at some point as well!

that is all, thank you for reading and if you remember TSMC or are interested in any of this please let me know <3 thank you again!!

Little Mina wanting to learn runes like her big brother is so fucking special to me because in quaad Kit noticed how much Dru admired Ty and thought to himself that if he had a little sibling he would show off all the time

[older-brother-kit]

I know he probably didn’t but I really hope Kit did give Julian an uncomfortably long hug for Dru

You gotta love how committed Emma is to her journaling. There is a literal kidnapping and hostage negotiation situation going on and the girl is just there like

[older-brother-kit]

We were clowns thinking that we had to wait until twp to see Kit Herondale suffer

[older-brother-kit]

something about kit sleeping in mina's room to make sure she's still there in the morning.. and about ty having done the same for kit

Going thru it rn

okay but jules including emma in the mural as a part of the family, in her own little section, across the wall from the depiction of julian himself is everything. she's not a part of the family because she's a part of julian, or because her being his parabatai forced them to adopt her. she's a part of the family in her own right, and would be included even if julian were to somehow be erased from the portrait.

Tessa to Maryse

Dear Maryse,

As one mother to another, I’m writing to you for advice. It’s been many many years since I was raising children, and when I say many years, I mean more than a century. And now I find myself in that position again. Although we have not talked frequently, I have often thought what a wonderful mother you must have been and continue to be. After all, your children have turned out so wonderfully. Isabelle is so brave, Alec such a leader, and Jace, well, I can only tell you that I know what an excellent example of a Herondale is, and he is one.

I also know that you have experienced profound loss and grief, and that you understand it.

I am writing to you about Kit. He too is a Herondale, and I believe that he will be an excellent example of one as well. But like all Herondale men (and the girls, too, believe me I know!) he is very private and secretive. On the whole Jem and I wish nothing but to respect his privacy. But when comes the time when worry requires one, as a parent, to intervene?

A few nights ago after dinner I stopped by Kit’s room to give him his phone (he is forever losing it and leaving it somewhere!), and I found that he was not there. Glancing out the window, I could see him outside, standing in our front garden. He had his back to me and appeared to be staring off into the distance, but I could tell by the way he was standing and the movements of his shoulders that he was agitated. Concerned, I followed him outside. I came up behind him quietly, not wanting to startle him. Perhaps I came too quietly. I realized immediately that he was talking to a ghost—I’ve had experiences of such things before. As is always the case in this kind of situation, I could hear only his side of the conversation.

Kit said, “If you keep trying to talk to me about this, I’m not going to be able to see you anymore.” Then he said, “Of course I believe in forgiveness. But some things are so terrible that you never want to revisit them.” There was a long pause. I thought maybe it was over. And then he said, “Don’t you understand? Everytime you bring him up, it tears another piece out of my heart.” Then he turned around, and of course saw me, standing on the path outside the house. He didn’t say anything, just gave me a sort of betrayed look and ran inside.

The next day of course he just pretended that nothing had happened. I just don’t know what to do. Should I leave him alone to work through this on his own? I always figured there must be ghosts at Cirenworth—Kit has informed me that there is a ghost dog that he plays with sometimes, a retriever I think —but I can’t imagine any of them as malicious or hurtful. And indeed it didn't sound as though he were afraid of the ghost, but as though the ghost brought back dark memories of his past. Perhaps of his father? I just don’t know what to do. Jem thinks we should let him work it out on his own, as he is a teenager, but then I remember my first two children, when they were teenagers, how there were times when they did need my help. (I am very much hoping that Kit is not having a tempestuous affair with a ghost, as I’m not sure I could go through that again.)

It’s keeping me up nights worrying. If there’s any advice that you have, I’d love to hear it.

I’m enclosing a picture of Jace and Clary with Kit and Mina, last time they visited. They look so happy!

All best,

Tessa
