 “It was one of the few things he had to believe in, the possibility of beauty when faced with the reality of so much ugliness.”


This is the perfect little story. It gives you a quick background of how Valentines group came to rise. How Magnus and Tessa came to help Jocelyn and Clary. And most importantly how Magnus and Tessa spend time as friends.
Honestly, I think any story with Tessa and Magnus will earn my 5 stars.
