#also uh no im not back from hiatus yet. for anyone who's wondering. even though no one's wondering

[initiare]

@leuthros​ So, you got your actual birthday present two days early— and now you get an extra little something almost two days later, because, well, I’m a real rebel like that. And I guess also, possibly, because I adore you. Only a little, though. Anyway, I hope that you can deal with some (I promise it’s just ‘some’, it’s nothing too long) mush, because if not, I wouldn't recommend clicking read more. I’m French, okay, being mushy is in my blood; get off my case.

“excuse me i got home and sat down and was about to reblog that and i very distinctly remember there being super sweet tags on there and now they're gone what gives insert hands-on-hips-emoji that doesn't exist here” 

‘you’ve done nothing but enrich my life since you first entered it’

I know that’s how I started the tags; because it’s always how I’d start when it comes to you. There’s no simpler truth. Cris, I’ve mentioned all of this to you on numerous occasions before, but you stuck with me when you had absolutely zero need to and I cannot get over that. I want you to know how much that meant and still means to me. Honestly, our interaction started over me liking a post of yours regarding interaction while I was in the midst of a hiatus still, I fell quiet in our IMs immediately and despite it, you messaged me a second time (regarding Reign), to which I went quiet, again. I was busy and anything but talkative until I was done with coding; I was so adamant about it. But you were relentless in your typing about Clary, about Jace, about Clace. You stuck with me despite it all, heck, you kept going. You even had this plan where you insisted that your first in-character post on your Clary blog would be a starter to me— what a starter it was. And the fact that the idea that you had for a first thread with me was that scene, meant even more. It’s such a very hefty one, so it showed a sort of faith, which really warmed my heart and served as an insane surge of rejuvenation.

But what was even more thrilling to me, was the ease with which I replied to you, how much our writing meshed and flowed. But primarily, it was how quick Jace woke up and how present he was from thereon out— how whenever you typed anything to me from that moment forward, he was right there. And I think that speaks volumes as to what you've done and still do— it speaks volumes to your talent and to your dedication. Honestly, when a muse awakens the way my Jace does when you bring up anything in-character— that tells me everything that I need to know; it tells me something is pretty darn right.

But honestly, Cris, your passion when it comes to Clary Fray is unrivaled. I really mean that. It’s truly one of the most beautiful things about you. The way that you've spoken to me continuously about this fiery little redhead for hours on end— nothing spells out ‘I love my muse’ more than that. I’ve had partners that I’ve adored and thought I meshed with immensely, but then you came along and you made me realize what I was missing, while I didn't even know I was missing it— and now I can’t fathom going back. I missed having a partner that has a mind in regards to these muses which rivals my own, I missed having a partner that talks to me at random for hours about their muse, mine and ours combined; I missed having a partner who’s as detailed and nit picky regarding everything as I am. I missed having a writing partner like you. Because you've been nothing short of utterly magnificent. You’ve been nothing but an enrichment, and I know that you've rejuvenated not only my muse, but the ones of others, as well.

Thank you, seriously, for having decided to reread this incredible franchise one day and to have added Clary Fray to your list of muses. There are many of us who’re grateful, but none more than me. Because I’ve found an amazing friend and writing partner in you that I didn't know I was looking for, but got anyway. And on top of it all, that together, we write this ridiculous and astounding ship known as Clace— I mean, that’s the best bonus anyone could ask for, right? Anyway, I thought the end of 2017 was pretty darn good, but 2018 is better because, well, that’s when our paths crossed. You’re like a Christmas, New Year’s and birthday present x 50, all in one.

Thank you for being a wonder, thank you for doing such justice to that fiery bundle of red that numerous of us love so dearly (though none more than Jace, obviously), thank you for being so passionate in regards to her character; I’m sure even Cassandra would be flattered and honored. And thank you for dealing with my salt, judgment and lack of calls— on which note, when are we going to watch City of Bones together, hmm? We're engaged and we haven’t even had a movie night yet— geez.

Oh, and thank you for having exemplary taste, by the way. I mean, an autumn wedding? I’m beyond game for that. So hey, summer, I know you haven’t started yet but uh, can we skip you? Because I’m getting really impatient. Gotta put an actual ring on that finger.

Hope your weekend was a blast, my dear; here’s to many threads and talks to come! <3
