Alec and Izzy - Just some gen fic about them growing up together, Alec playing both the part of big brother and parent. (If you make reference to how Alec was one of Izzy's best memories i will love you forever)
Isabelle learned how to walk early. Her dad said that, when she was a baby, Alec used to pick her up and toddle around with her like a sack of potatoes - but Isabelle doesn’t quite remember back that far. Her earliest memory is running after Alec through the house and garden, always trying to keep up with him

In the following weeks, the babysitter was made redundant very quickly. She cooked them meals and put them to bed, but Alec always managed to get to the other chores first. He brushed Isabelle’s hair in the morning, stood up on tip-toes to reach her favourite cereal for breakfast, cleaned up their toys at the end of the day, and let her practice drawing some basic runes on his skin in Sharpie. At night, she snuck into his bed and they read picture books until they fell asleep. He was no longer just her playmate, but someone safe and responsible. She clung to that while their parents were gone

One night when she was eight, Isabelle was singing and dancing along to a Mundane CD while Alec read his book. He had become great at ignoring her, which helped when she was always in his room. Isabelle knew she got annoying sometimes, but she couldn’t help but barge in all the time, to reassure herself that he was still there

Max was born, and Isabelle wanted to hate him so badly, because he somehow taught Maryse how to hug and smile again. But he was perfect. From the moment he was placed him her arms and she awkwardly curled her skinny arms around him, Isabelle was smitten. He was curiously blonde and pale, not like the rest of his family, but when he smiled at her silly faces, he looked just like Alec
( ... )
Like Isabelle, Max learned to move around by himself very quickly. He didn’t seem to get the memo that Alec wanted to avoid him at all costs, and waddled after him from room to room like the world’s fastest duckling. It was the funniest thing Isabelle had ever seen.
He came into her room one day, holding Max out as far as his arms could reach. Max thought this was awesome, kicking his legs and babbling away. Alec just looked like he was in pain.
“Izzy, please, just take him for a while. I can’t get anything done

Later that night, after a long afternoon of saving family heirlooms from a toddler’s rampage, Isabelle finally deposited a sleepy Max in her parents’ arms. Maybe Alec had a point about the weapons. Still, at least it wore him out. He was much cuter when he was unconscious
( ... )
When Isabelle was eleven, she was quick, agile and wiry, and eager for a fight. But she started her official training late. Maryse had wanted to do it her own way first, keeping her home and working with her for hours every day. It was the most time they’d spent together in forever, and Isabelle would appreciate it if she wasn’t so over it

Preston looked behind him, confused. When he laid eyes on Izzy, he sneered. “Are you serious, Lightwood? You’re even more of a coward than I thought

Suddenly, his big hands were wrapped around her throat. Isabelle went stiff with shock. Preston’s face was screwed up in anger and hatred, and blood was dripping down his nose, falling into her eyes. Distantly, she heard voices crying out in shock, and Alec yelling for them to stop. He appeared on the edge of Izzy’s vision, grabbing Preston and trying to pull him off. But Preston lashed out with his elbow, catching Alec across the face. He stumbled back, out of view
( ... )
Alec tried to keep his word and take full responsibility for the Second Preston Incident, but Isabelle beat him to it. It was her fault things escalated, for letting her anger and pride get the better of her. So she stood tall in front of the instructor, tossed her ponytail, and said that it was all her idea
