Kit's diary

I'm obviously not Cassandra Clare, so all the characters, fictional places and content that happened before this belongs to her.

Summary:

After the events in Secrets of Blackthorn Hall Kit is even more traumatised than before. Not only does his heart hurt from meeting Ty (and Livvy) again, but he's also concerned about his family's well-being, as he sees himself as a danger to them now. While sleeping in his sisters room helped a bit, Tessa and Jem can still see how much he's hurting. After consulting Emma, who obviously also had to deal with a lot of trauma, Tessa convinces Kit to use a diary. Well, if it can calm Emma it can calm everyone, I guess. Even though he's sceptical first, Kit warms up to the idea of letting out all your feelings, thoughts and memories on a piece of paper and starts to describe his life and his feelings to the special someone, whom he dedicated the diary to. With time, Kit learns how to deal with his trauma and his feelings towards the people from his past and starts to heal.

Updates:

To cure your post-SOBH-monday-depression, I will publish a new chapter every Monday afternoon CET, unless I forget. In that case please DO remind me. I'm very forgetful. If I can't publish that day because of something else I will let you know.

You can also find it on Wattpad. Here's the link:

Edit: I also really hate the title of the book, so if you have any suggestions, please comment them here. Thank you.

I was just thinking about the parallels between the Herondales and the Blackthorns about curses. Will thought he was cursed by a demon, but he wasn't - he had been tricked into thinking he was. James thought he was cursed because of his power. Heck, the poor guy thought he was damned. Lucie never openly discussed her power so far, so one may believe that she doesn't feel like her brother in this regard, but I just think she doesn't want others to worry about her like they worry about James. James and Lucie aren't troublemakers - quite the opposite. But they have been under scrutiny in the shadow world because of their heritage. They are half-warlocks, plus they have unusual powers. Everyone found out about James' power after the event at the Academy, but no one (except Jesse) knows that Lucie can also do something very shocking and exceptional for a shadowhunter and against their rules. Necromancy is forbidden by Shadowhunters, and it's also something against nature itself. So Lucie in this regard parallels with Will. Will never told anybody about his curse, except for Magnus and Tessa. Lucie never defined her necromancy power as a curse, and only told Jesse. Grace also participated in the 'let's bring Jesse back to life campaign' but she thinks that Lucie is helping her, and she doesn't seem to realize the extent of Lucie's involvement in the whole thing (as an animator of sorts - or better resuscitator! lol). Also, while Will didn't love anyone but Jem because he thought they would die, Lucie is in love with a person who used to be dead. Ironic, right?

While the Herondales believe they are cursed, the ones who really are damned are the Blackthorns. And, to some extent, they have been cursed by association to the rot side of the Lightwood family: Benedict and Tatiana. Benedict was cursed with demon pox and thus punished by turning into a worm, eating his son-in-law Rupert Blackthorn and damning his daughter to live a lonely life full of disdain, vengeance and bitterness. After learning Rupert is the ghost in SOBH, I want you all to read these lines from the poem opening chapter 7 of Clockwork Prince, which I believe illustrates his situation very well:

An orphan’s curse would drag to hell A spirit from on high; But oh! more horrible than that Is the curse in a dead man’s eye! Seven days, seven nights, I saw that curse, And yet I could not die. —Samuel Taylor Coleridge, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”

It's like Benedict's curse passed onto his daughter, who carried it on her children and, unknowingly to us, to her deceased husband. As we know, Tatiana's hatred brought Jesse to his death and Grace to being completely neglected. Both of them were used as a means to an end (stupid revenge). Both of them, in my opinion, are cursed. Not a literal curse. Jesse had been cursed to die young and to live half a life, while Grace had been cursed with a siren power to deprive others of their free-will. CoI ended with Jesse's life being restored into his body, although we still don't know to what extent... is he really the Jesse we've known so far or it's 'another' Jesse? As for Grace, she also seems to have realized she needed to turn to a new leaf, but we still don't know if she will do it in CoT. What I want to emphasize here is that: Will wasn't cursed but Tatiana vowed to 'curse' James with the gracelet by using Grace. James 'fell' for Grace but Cordelia, broke the curse with the power of love (sounds stupid but that's what happened bro). The question is, yet again, if Tatiana also vowed to 'curse' Lucie by pushing Jesse to make her fall for him or that was completely unexpected. I want to believe that Jesse falling for Lucie is real, as opposed to Grace 'falling' for James which was all fake, and that Lucie broke Jesse's curse with her love.

"The shape of a man who had lost the only thing that mattered in his life and had to learn to live without it. Food tasted flat; the wind and sun visited him differently; the sound of his heartbeat was always audible in his ears, a broken metronome."

Day 7: Malcom Fade

(I'm going to be posting an aesthetic for a different character every day until the first chapter of Secrets of Blackthorn Hall. You'll be able to find them under the tag '#sobh countdown')
