"Eventually, I will, but not right away. He may never have wanted kids or gave up on it." Centuries of assuming he could never have children might mean that Magnus wouldn't want them. At least not without time to accept that it was possible.

As he played, he tried not to think about the lyrics, but he couldn't help wondering if there was more meaning to them than most beings would assume.

It might be better to choose a non-Shadowhunter name." If anyone suggested Jonathan, it would automatically be a no. "Gideon married a Mundane woman. I think he's how we're related. Him or his brother."
