Title: Nightmarish Rating: PG-13 Word count: 149 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? He was always giving her attention, working hard to find the things she mentioned. (lyrics from Dance Floor Anthem—I Don’t Want To Be In Love By Good Charlotte.) Warning: reference to past drug abuse, drug abuse not condoned by author.
Finding Clary on the docks was a relief and the beginning of a waking nightmare.
Relief: she’s safe, Mattes had found her.
Nightmare: she’s caught up in something bigger than he can see; there were rushers and dirty deals going down, and she’s been drugged for her silence.
Mattes shies away from thinking too hard about all of this—she’s gone rogue—his mind whispers.
Dirty Dog
He won’t be the one to accuse her.
Mattes has always tried to be the best partner he can be, and its gotten him this far, gotten him partnered to a woman that he would trust absolutely at his back. Maybe there’s been a touch of fear here and there of messing up, but now…
He doesn’t want to think about it, but if he messes up now, he knows he’s afraid that Clary will break upon the ground like shattered glass.

Aww! I love that he's worried about Clary still, and not himself.
