Title: Maze Rating: PG Word count: 175 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 had to get up, he ain’t coming home now. (lyrics from Dance Floor Anthem—I Don’t Want To Be In Love By Good Charlotte.)
The sounds of fighting echo dimly down the streets near the docks of Port Caynn, and Mattes speeds up.
By now, the port city is familiar to him, and he doesn’t have to pause and think before turning corners; he’s been away from Corus too long, he thinks.
Clary’s in the thick of things when he arrives, back to the wall behind her as a handful of coves and a few hard-faced mots surge around her.
Mattes doesn’t know which of them is on Clary’s side when he enters the fray, but he doesn’t care enough to stop and watch; he pushes through, his baton coming down solidly on a few arms and shoulders along the way, until he’s got Clary by his side and everything goes back to feeling almost like it should.
The streets are a different maze than Corus, and the capital doesn’t have the brine of a salty breeze blowing through, but coves and mots and scrabbles underneath the moon are the same, and Mattes has Clary on his right again.
