Hello! Yes, I have failed Jace. I'll do a part 2 when I can, because this seriously is not enough.
10 Things You Didn't Know About Jace Wayland
1. Once or twice when he was younger, he swore he could fly. And it seemed like he was floating at times, too.
His father told him about being an angel, and it seemed to Jace, at that point, quite impossible, but still very endearing.
If only he knew how true it was, and how sour his father's face had been as he turned his back on his young son.
2. Jace thought about being a musician before, because he was good at it, and because music was beautiful. His father slammed the idea down and told him not to focus on such things, because the beauty was in fighting and in knowledge far beyond what books could give him.
3. On the day before his father's 'murder', Jace had wounded himself. His father had watched him as he bled there, and didn't do anything. That was when Jace held on to his own truth – that pain will not always bring compassion, and that pain will only be something but a mere memory if ignored. The blood could not be ignored, and it was another faint reminder.
His father could only look at him then and give a small nod, because Jace understood now.
4. He was older then, maybe thirteen, and Maryse Lightwood was putting him to bed, Jace had called her mother.
He watched as the fingers she was brushing on his forehead stiffened, and his golden eyes locked on hers. He shouldn't have, he wasn't taught to welcome affection or love, or reciprocate it. He wasn't taught…He wasn't taught that.
5. Jace knew of Alec's alignment – being gay, yes – even before Izzy knew. It was kind of funny, really, just because he can get sadistic at times and because he likes to withhold information and put it above everybody's heads. He hasn't told anyone, though, and hasn't even told Alec that he knew.
6. Meeting Clary was the best day of his life.
7. Also the day he knew he'd get himself into deep trouble. Guess he saw crazy times ahead.
8. He didn't like it when Isabelle cooked, not because she was better off fighting, but because it reminded him of a mother he never had, even if the idea of Izzy being his mom was awkward and disgusting at the same time, he still thought so.
9. Jace had not trusted his father a hundred percent. His so called father had drilled into his brain what he needed to be, what he wanted Jace to be as a Shadowhunter. He had stripped him of his childhood, of pleasures a child would love. He had forsaken love and affection as weakness. But Jace…Jace knew it didn't make him weak. It gave him something to fight for, and no, he would never admit that to anyone. He's the sarcastic bastard, not the poetic jerk.
10. Although he enjoys battles and lives for them, the war was something that has haunted his dreams. But he has somebody that would slap him out of those nightmares now.
Before somebody says this chapter lacks too much about Jace, let me just say that I'm re-reading the stories again and have decided to continue this series because I liked what I was doing before. Okay. And um I promise to do part 2 for Jace because I missed out on so much! D:
