So I had originally started this fanfiction two years ago, and had uploaded it on here. But I later got rid of it, and now I'm putting it back up :) I'll hopefully continue it this time.

So an insight on what this is gonna be:

It starts in Chapter 10: These Violent Delights of CoHF when Sebastian is inside Clary's room at Amatis' house after she has just dealt with a drunken Simon. He puts a binding spell on her and asks her to join her and they have a long conversation. Sebastian goes out of control and is about to kiss Clary when Jace interrupts them. Well, at least in the actual book. In my Fanfiction Jace comes just a little too late (hence the title) and that flips the entire plot line around. That's all I can tell you without sending out spoilers.

Other Notes :
-There was never a dinner with the Fey that night for Jocelyn, Luke, Raphael and Magnus. Jocelyn and Luke did go out for dinner, but they went to some family's house (I didn't really bother making up a family).
-Max is still alive
-The rating is M for a reason - there is going to be smut later on, but I'll have a warning before the chapter, for those of you who wish to skip it.

Ships: There will be Clabastian/Clonathan, Claphael, Clace and maybe Clalec or Clagnus.

Disclaimer: I do not own TMI or any of the characters.

(A last note : I do realise the writing style might be really bad, considering I was like pretty young when I wrote it. But uh hopefully the newer chapters write will be better, and I hope you all like it.)

Chapter One : Everything's Changed

"But you're mine," he said. "I want you to—I need you to—" He took gasping breath; his pupils were blown wide; something about it terrified her more than anything else he had ever done. Sebastian in control was frightening; Sebastian out of control was something too horrible to contemplate.

Clary felt fear take over her body, just as Sebastian brought up his lips to touch hers. The sickening wrongness hit her, as if she was falling into darkness upon no end. But there was something different; a subtle hint of longing was blooming inside Clary. Then, with no conscious thought, she eased the tension in her body and encased her hands around Sebastian's neck. He nearly drew back but then pressed himself closer to her, kissing her with a passion unlike before. The longing kept on growing fiercer and causing Clary to cling onto him tighter. Sebastian moved his lips away for a moment to mutter something. From the release on her legs, Clary realized he had just undone the binding curse.

She hooked her right leg around Sebastian's and he picked her up, taking her to the bed. He laid her down and then held himself on top of her, balancing his weight on his hands. He was leaning in to kiss Clary again when a loud thump near the window stopped him. Both of them jumped and then turn their heads toward the source of the night, Sebastian's expression angry and Clary's somewhat regretful. There he stood, bathed in moonlight that made his gold hair shine and evidently showed the betrayed expression masking his features. Jace.

Clary sat right up, her mouth opening to say something; anything to make sure Jace didn't get the wrong impression. But Sebastian beat her to it.

"Hello, little brother. Nice to see you again," he said.

A series of emotions flickered in Jace's eyes as he took one step forward. Anger, betrayal, pain and absolute loathing. When Jace reached for his sword, Sebastian picked up Heosphorus as quick as a blink and pointed the tip at him.

"Careful now, Jonathan. You don't want to hurt me. Everything that marks me marks you," Sebastian said with a smirk and then added, "And vice versa".

Jace flinched ever so slightly and stepped back, momentarily dazed, his eyes scrunching close. When he opened them again, they were as dark as the night sky, two black, endless voids. Sebastian smirked and then moved closer to Jace and took his hands in his own. Jace made no attempt to stop him on his part, instead he relaxed and a half-smiled played on his lips.

Clary watched in horror as blood started to run down both their arms and mingled with each other at their hands. Sebastian seemed to be enjoying the connection and Jace was gleeful as well. Then the blood stopped and Sebastian spoke, his eyes trained on Jace's.

"We're united again, brother. You and I together, we're invincible," he said, smiling coldly.

Clary snapped out of her reverie at those words and jumped up from the bed, running towards the boys. She wrenched their hands from one another's and glowered at Sebastian, asking,

"What did you do? What did you do Jace? Is he- Please tell me you didn't- Raziel! You did. You are truly a heartless psycho!" She yelled, and then broke down into sobs.

Sebastian just stood there smirking, watching his sister cry. Then almost inaudibly, he said, "You didn't think so when you were kissing me."

"What?" Clary said, looking aghast.

"I said, you didn't -"

"No, I heard you the first time," Clary intercepted, not crying anymore, and instead speaking quite fiercely, "What I mean is that me kissing you was a mistake. That's it, just a mistake- with no meaning. I was tired and ready for bed and was not in my senses. Heck, for all I know you could have put some sort of rune on yourself so I would kiss you back. I would never kiss you willingly, especially after you possessed Jace again."

Sebastian face was expressionless, but his eyes shone with anger. Suddenly, quicker than the eye could follow he had pinned Clary up against a wall for the second time tonight, holding her wrists on either side of her head. His grip was tight, and she could feel a stinging pain. That was going to leave a mark.

"Ah, dear sister, we both know that I don't need a rune to attract you. You do it pretty well on your own," Sebastian whispered in her ear, sending chills down Clary's spine, "And as for Jace, I haven't possessed him, you know. Just unlocked the better side of him, by transferring some of my demon blood in him. Now he can't get hurt, and he is much stronger. He knows exactly what he is doing and he is completely willing."

"I don't see how this benefits you. In fact, I don't even know why you want Jace, I thought you just said that me releasing him from you was a benefit," Clary said, genuinely curious.

"Well, he was here, and I was not just going to let him take you away again. And as for why I want him… Clarissa, surely you must have figured it out by now. He was trained my father, making him a more equal match for me than others even though that is not saying much. Anyway, it is much safer to have him by my side, rather than the enemy lines. Not that he can beat me with the pathetic little shadowhunter army, but they would only cause trouble and distract me from my main goal," He said, still looking at her, "Oh yeah, I almost forgot to say so but with his blood in my veins, I am virtually immortal to the heavenly fire as it now lives in my own heart. So basically I am invincible."

Clary gasped at those words, her mind refusing to accept them. If Sebastian couldn't be killed at all… then the future of every living creature in this dimension was in very serious trouble. But he had lied before; in fact no one has any reason to trust him.

"H-How do I know you are telling the truth? You could easily be lying to me," Clary said, trembling in a hardly noticeably manner.

Oh, he is telling the truth, as much as I hate to say those words.

Clary yelled and tried to step back, hitting her head on the wall. She had heard someone- a man- speak in her head, sounding solemnly regretful. Sebastian was watching her with interest, entirely unfazed by her sudden shout.

"Someone talked to you, didn't they?" Clary nodded and he continued speaking, "That would be Raziel. He used to speak in my head all the time, always about putting an end to this silly obsession of mine. Eventually his babbling gave me headaches, so I started drawing runes to block him out. The old angel doesn't bother me anymore."

"But I thought angels didn't interfere with shadowhunter problems unless they were specifically called."

"They don't," Sebastian said, chuckling lightly, "But with shadowhunters like us three, rules just kind of go out the window. Actually, the angels take an unnecessary amount of interest in us. So, if Raziel starts bothering you too much, tell me and I will help."

Jace then cleared his throat. Clary had completely forgotten he was in the room and jumped at the sound of the voice.

"I hate to interrupt, but when you're done with your conversation, we have to leave or we are going to have unwanted visitors."

Clary nearly started sobbing again from hearing his voice. It was so similar to the Jace's that she loved but yet it was lined with cutting coldness.

"We're done now," Sebastian said, letting go of Clary finally. She was right about him leaving marks. She rubbed the red, raw skin on either of her wrists and glared remorsefully at the person responsible. Both boys saw the look and they chuckled at her expression.

"Sorry about that Clarissa, I'll draw an iratze on it when we get home," He said, grinning at her, "Now if you don't mind, hold my hand."

"Wait-what? I am not going anywhere with you, Sebastian," Clary said sharply.

"Oh yes, you are, Clarissa. Unless you want to battle against Jace…" Sebastian said, trailing of at the end of the sentence.

Clary sunk her head in defeat. There was no way she could leave Jace alone with Sebastian. He knew bringing Jace would hit a weak spot. He knows my weak spot but I don't know his, Clary thought angrily. She would have to work on finding that out, soon. Right then, she moved closer to Sebastian and let him grab her hand. But then pulled back, abruptly realising something.

"Wait, won't you burn me, with the heavenly fire in you and all?" She asked cautiously.

"No, the fire was divided when it transferred into me. I can control it as there is only half the amount than there was in Jace," He said. Clary looked at Jace and felt hope blossom inside her as she thought, If the heavenly fire split in two than Jace must have less in him and he can control it. Sebastian guessed her thoughts and said, "Don't worry Clarissa, the same applies to him." He was smiling at her but there was a bitter edge to his tone. Clary chose to ignore it and instead let him hold her hand again.

But before they could teleport wherever they were going to, a loud pinging on the window interrupted them. It was as if someone was throwing stones at the window. Clary could hear someone familiar singing as well, as if they were drunk. She walked towards the window and opened it, and saw a dark, figure-a boy standing in the middle of the alley.

Then in an astonished tone she said, "Is that- that is Raphael."

Isabelle

Isabelle was about to go back to sleep after Simon's confession in the middle of the night after he drank spiked blood, when she was once again disturbed by the sound of a person walking in the street while singing. Whatever more, it was another drunk vampire, Raphael.

"What do you think you are doing, Raphael, singing in the middle of the night?" Isabelle yelled, after throwing open her bedroom window.

Raphael looked up at her and shouted back, "I am really happy; because I am finally about to do something I have not had courage to do before."

"And what is that?" said Aline. She must have woken up at the sound of Isabelle shouting.

"I am about to confess my feelings to my love," He said, absolutely beaming with happiness. Isabelle was shocked that Raphael liked someone, especially a shadowhunter at that. Unless he was gay and liked either Simon or Magnus.

"You like someone? Who?" This time it was Alec who had asked the question. Funny that, he hadn't woken up during the conversation with Simon and Clary, Isabelle thought, or he chose to stay out of it.

"Clary," Raphael yelled, absolutely beaming with happiness.

Both Alec and Aline burst into fits of laughter. Isabelle followed them, thinking that Raphael must have drank a crazy amount of spiked blood to decide to tell Clary that he liked her. Clary hated Raphael, mainly because he turned Simon into a vampire. The point was that nobody would have ever thought that Raphael would like Clary. He was always so … indifferent towards her.

"Well, don't go alone. She is going to be spooked if a vampire turns up at her house, claiming to love her. I'll come with you," Isabelle said, deciding it was true. She also wanted to see Clary's expression when Raphael admitted his feelings.

"No," Raphael pouted, before turning around and sprinting away. Boy, he is fast, even for a drunk vampire.

"Someone call Clary and tell her that she is about to get molested by the head of New York's vampire clan," Isabelle said dryly.

"No need," Aline replied, "We'll go there ourselves. I want to see her reaction."

"Me too," Alec said, "I'm taking my camera."

"Seriously?" Isabelle asked.

"Yeah, this is an opportunity of a lifetime. Imagine Raphael's expression when he is sober again and watches this video I will shoot."

"If you say so," Isabelle said, and with that they all got ready and ran towards Amatis' house where Clary was staying.

Clary

Clary had just gotten over the shock of seeing Raphael, when he said,

"Clary, hermosa, I love you more than anybody else in this world. I would do anything for you, even sing," He called out and then promptly started singing A Thousand Years by Christina Perri.

On cue, Sebastian and Jace burst out chuckling nearly falling over, just as Aline, Alec and Isabelle came running round the corner and stopped next to Raphael. They saw Clary looking unbearably embarrassed and Raphael still singing and started laughing as well. Clary was redder than ever before and suddenly the temperature seemed too hot.

"Hey, Clary is Jace there?" Alec yelled, over Raphael as he went into the chorus singing 'I have died every day, waiting for you'. For some reason, he was clutching a camera. Alec that is, not Raphael.

Before Clary could say no, Jace came to stand next to her and shouted back at him, "I am right here. Are you filming this?"

Clary shot a warning look at Jace and he winked back at her. She then glanced at Sebastian with her eyebrows raised who just shrugged at her as if saying 'He does what he wants'.

"Yeah, this is proof that the head of a vampire clan can be irresponsible and get drunk," Alec said.

So that's what was wrong with Raphael. He had drunk spiked blood. Not that it made matters any less embarrassing. To make it worse, Clary could hear Simon making his way up the stairs to her room. She realized that her criminal of a brother was still standing in the middle of her room. As subtly as she could, she gestured for him to go inside the bathroom and lock the door. He nodded, looking a bit surprised that she would care and followed her instructions. Simon came right into the room without knocking and paused, momentarily left speechless when he saw Jace.

"You are lucky you didn't come in here fifteen minutes ago," Jace said, grinning at Simon's shocked expression.

Way to make this more embarrassing, thought Clary and then sighing said, "Shut up, Jace."

"What? It's the truth."

Simon brushed off Jace's comment and asked Clary, "Care to explain why Raphael is singing outside your window?"

"He drank spiked blood," Clary said, blushing yet again.

"He's in love with Clary," Jace said at the same time.

"Oh, wow, Clary. I never knew you were Raphael's type. I wonder who is going to fall for you next. Sebastian?" Simon said, not noticing that Clary flinched at the name and continuing to talk, "What about Jordan? Hmm… I know- Magnus!"

"Be quiet, Simon. Magnus is dating Alec, remember? And aren't you supposed to be drunk as well?"

"The alcohol works its way out of my system quicker than it does for normal humans. So, I am sober now."

"Good, because we need someone to take Raphael back to his house or to Magnus- if necessary."

"Oh, he is going to have to go to Magnus. He is ten times as drunk as I was," Simon said.

"How do you know that?" Jace asked, an amused expression playing on his face.

Simon shrugged and said, "A vampire thing, I guess."

"Alright then, off you go, Simon," Clary said, pushing him towards the door deliberately.

"Uh, Clary, can't I just jump off from the window?" Simon asked cautiously.

"Yes, of course. Sorry," Clary blushed and stepped aside, letting him walk to the window.

"And Clary," Simon said in a low voice so only she could hear, "I know you're hiding something so when we meet again, I want answers."

She just swallowed and nodded, not making any promises because she didn't know whether or not she would see him again. Simon jumped from the windowsill and onto the street below, glancing up at Clary before walking towards Raphael. Isabelle, Alec and Aline had been trying to quieten Raphael down so he wouldn't wake up the neighbours, but so far they had had little success. Raphael was still singing love songs.

"Come on, Raphael, let's take you to Magnus," Simon said, taking hold of his right arm.

"No, I want to stay here, with Clary," He said pouting childishly. Clary smiled at that. He looked so cute. Woah! She thought, her alarm senses going off, Hold up, Clary. Where did that thought come from? You should not find Raphael cute at all, in fact you shouldn't even think of him in any way close to affection.

"You can meet Clary tomorrow, now let's go," Simon said impatiently, tugging his arm.

"Okay then, but first I need to say bye to Clary," He said and then called out to her, "Bye, Bye Clary. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye, Raphael," Clary said in spite of herself. Raphael looked absolutely delighted to get a response from her and he starting bouncing on the balls of his feet.

"Claaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyy, can I get a goodnight kiss?" He asked.

Clary blushed for the umpteenth time that night and heard Jace snigger next to her. Even Sebastian was chuckling as he came out of the bathroom.

"Umm… Maybe later," She said, without trying to make it sound like she was rejecting him.

Raphael was pleased by her hardly satisfactory answer and skipped along with Simon and the rest of them, as they all waved goodbye at her. Clary smiled and waved back, but her façade disappeared as soon as she had slammed the window shut and leaned against the wall, sliding on to the floor.

"What's wrong, little sis?" Sebastian asked her as he crouched down next to Clary. She was shocked, he actually seemed… concerned.

"This, this life as a shadowhunter. It's is so exhausting. My life was less hectic when I knew nothing about demons and downworlders."

"But you wouldn't have met me if you weren't a shadowhunter," Jace said, coming to sit down next to her.

"And you wouldn't have the world's most important vampire confessing his love to you," Sebastian said lightly.

Clary smiled tentatively even though she should have been trying to kill him instead. For once, it seemed right that Sebastian was her brother. Not that it would last very long; he could go back to his attitude of a demon anytime. Clary felt a tear slid down her face, as she thought of the life she never would have, with Sebastian being just her brother and Jace a loving boyfriend with no problems meddling their relationship. Jace saw her crying, and cupped her face with his hands, wiping away the tears. He then pulled her into kiss, their first one in what seemed like months.

Oh, Clary had missed this so much. It was sweet, gentle, caring and had so much emotion in it. She was sinking in his arms, drowning in a sea of love. It felt so good to finally kiss Jace like this again, she thought that she never might be able to again. Suddenly a cough made them break apart from each other. Sebastian had cleared his throat. He seemed really awkward, but Clary could see the fury and jealousy dancing dangerously in his eyes.

"If you don't mind, we should get going. It is going to be light soon."

Clary and Jace broke away and stood up. This time Clary held Jace's hand instead and she saw Sebastian glance at them angrily. Ignoring him, she took one last look outside the window at the silent street in Alicante before she was whisked away somewhere unknown.
