Title: Patience and Perseverance Rating: G Word count: 170 Pairing: Clary/Mattes Round/Fight: 4/A Summary: AU: Clary’s lived her whole life in Summersea, and now that she’s finally sixteen, she’s intent on joining the Provost’s Guard—the Harriers. She just wants to be a Harrier; this magic stuff just gets in the way.
Ahuda ended up granting Mattes—it was odd, calling a full Harrier by his first name when she was still just a Trainee, not even in her first year in the street—permission to take Clary out of her book lessons altogether.
Everyday, as Clary trotted to keep up with his long strides on the way to the Citadel, Mattes quizzed her and taught her all about working in the Provost’s Guard.
Once there, Clary tried, really tried, to do what Sandry said.
“The sarden thread won’t do anything right,” she groused as once again it went to pieces in her hands.
Sandry’s mouth quirked up. “It just needs a patient hand; here, try again.”
“Try again, try again, I just can’t get it!” Clary muttered to herself when she and Mattes were walking back to the Coop that afternoon.
“Did it ever occur to you that patience and perseverance, like with your thread magic, is something you’ll need as a Guard?” Mattes wondered, and Clary snapped her mouth shut.
