Title: Future Rating: PG Word count: 134 Pairing: Clary/Mattes Round/Fight: 4/A Summary: AU: Clary’s rogue years; arguing with Tom brings out a rebellious streak and she runs off to Port Caynn to get away from it all. Mattes follows, to stand between her and the darkness. Is there any way to recover from this? You got nothing to lose, don’t be afraid to get down. (lyrics from Dance Floor Anthem—I Don’t Want To Be In Love By Good Charlotte.)
The road from Port Caynn to Corus is a long one, but Mattes would travel anywhere willingly with Clary, and since she’s by his side he doesn’t mind whistling the whole way.
Even when she smacks him and calls him a looby.
He wonders if she’s worried, about returning to Corus, about the rumors that might have reached the Jane Street Kennel about where she’s been all this time, about…about everything.
He wonders only until they reach the Lower City and her stride lengthens and becomes the clipped, familiar steps that he remembers, and perhaps you can’t ever just walk away from the past (but they’re trying), and there’s something to be said for fighting for the future, yeah?
Clary turns in the doorway to the Kennel. “Mattes, you looby, you coming or not?”

Oh, I adore how she sort of merges back in to the old Clary!
