Henry, wielding a stele from his Bath chair, helped Will with the runes of love and luck he’d decorated his hands and arms with before he put his shirt and gear jacket on. But Will had decided to wear wedding gear anyway, because he was going to be the head of the London Institute, and his children would be Shadowhunters, and Tessa would run the Institute by his side and be part of all of his Shadowhunter life and they should begin as they meant to go on, in his opinion. It wasn’t strictly a Shadowhunter wedding, because Tessa wasn’t strictly a Shadowhunter. His brand new wife.Įverything had started out perfectly well. That was why he was sitting on a window seat staring at winter-bitten London instead of downstairs by the fire kissing his wife. And he had been happy, since the moment he’d woken up, even through having Henry, Gabriel and Gideon troop into his room and bother him with advice and jokes while he was getting dressed, all the way up to the end of the ceremony. He ought to be happy, he knew that much - after all, it was his wedding day. Though at the moment, Will was not feeling very friendly toward fairytales. Snow dusted the tops of houses reaching away toward the pale ribbon of the Thames, giving the view the feeling of a fairytale. Will Herondale sat in the window of his new bedroom and looked out at a London frozen under a chilly winter sky. Today will be the happiest day the two of you will ever have together. This new short story is called Fairytale of London and here is the first part of it: Warnings for romancey business and not knowing how often I’ll update. It wound up being a riff on Sleeping Beauty, and taking me quite a while (since I’m writing…four…books at the same time) but I thought I’d share the beginning and post the rest in installments. I decided a while ago to pen a little tale of Will and Tessa’s wedding and wedding night.

Five years after the epic finale to her The Infernal Devices trilogy (March 19, 2013), Cassie wrote a tumblr post about Will Herondale and Tessa Gray, one of the main TID ships, and I’m sure the following is something that many, many fans are going to love and appreciate. Yesterday evening (US time), while I was peacefully sleeping in Europe, Cassandra Clare treated her fans to something very special.
