Super canon divergence. Like I am diverging so hard here! Look at all that divergence!
I have been thinking about Johnathan Morgenstern lately, and as horrible as he was, I can't help feeling sorry for him, for the way his life played out, hardly giving him a chance to be anything but a monster.
And I love Magnus (and Magnus with kids), and I thought,
What if Magnus was in Edom the day that Valentine sent Johnathan to Lilith.
(Reason for Magnus being in Edom could be because he needed to re-bind his father to the realm, because Asmodeus almost got out?).
And Magnus, on his way back, saw Lilith hurting the boy and saved Johnathan. Portaling the both of them back to his apartment in Brooklyn.
How would the story go if Magnus had raised Johnathan, giving the boy a real chance at life?
Magnus getting the story of Johnathan's origins out of the boy (as far as Johnathan knew at that point).
Fearing the Clave would condemn Johnathan for his demon blood and relation to Valentine, maybe Magnus would use his connection to Brother Zachariah (who was a Shadowhunter once), to get Johnathan both the tools and training of a Shadowhunter, as well as teaching him magic and control over his demonic heritage.
There could even be some kind of meeting with Sebastian Verlac, and maybe the two (Johnathan and Sebastian) become friends and later even more?
Maybe Magnus would convince Jocelyn to let her daughter and his son form a friendship (maybe Magnus suspects about the two being siblings?), in exchange for removing any supernatural memories from Clary, giving Johnathan a relationship with his sister (that isn't tainted by his obsession with her).
And when it comes time to meet the rest, a grown up Johnathan could be protective over Magnus and that stupid Shadowhunter (Alec) that flirts with Magnus.
