SHimonraksedthCupl*.
He is tangled in Isabelle’s arms, he is curtained by Isabelle’s hair, he is touching

Isabelle’s body, he is lost in Isabelle, in her smell and her taste and the silk of her

skin.

He is onstage, the music pounding, the floor shaking, the audience cheering,

his heart beating beating beating in time with the drumbeat.

He is laughing with Clary, dancing with Clary, eating with Clary, running

through the streets of Brooklyn with Clary, they are children together, they are

one half of a whole, they hold hands and squeeze tight and pledge never to let go.

He is going cold, stiff, the life draining out of him, he is below, in the dark,

clawing his way to the light, fingernails scraping dirt, mouth filled with dirt,

eyes clogged with dirt, he is straining, reaching, dragging himself up toward the

sky, and when he reaches it, he opens his mouth wide but does not breathe, for

he no longer needs to breathe, only to feed. And he is so very hungry.

He is sinking his teeth into the neck of an angel’s child, he is drinking the

light.

He is bearing a Mark, and it burns.

He is raising his face to meet the gaze of an angel, he is flayed by the fury of

angel fire, and yet still, impudent and bloodless, he lives.

He is in a cage.

He is in hell.

He is bent over the broken body of a beautiful girl, he is praying to whatever

god that will listen, please let her live, anything to let her live.

He is giving away that which is most precious to him, and he is doing so

willingly, so that his friends will survive.

He is, again, with Isabelle, always with Isabelle, the holy flame of their love

encompassing them both, and there is pain, and there is exquisite joy, and his

veins burn with angel fire and he is the Simon he once was and the Simon he

then became and the Simon he now will be, he endures and he is reborn, he is

blood and flesh and a spark of the divine.

He is Nephilim.
