Parabatai (Jace Herondale & Alec Lightwood Fanvid)

Just my very humble homage to one of the most beautiful and epic friendships of television history, and the unique soul-deep bond they share...
Just as I'm deeply grateful to the show for having portrayed an exclusive, healthy romance between a gay man and a bisexual one, without ever making Magnus' bisexuality an issue for Alec (Note: I see absolutely nothing wrong with polyamorous relationships. However, given the misconception that all bisexuals and pansexuals are into multiple romantic partners, the monogamous bisexuality representation was much appreciated!); it was also extremely refreshing to have a gay man be so emotionally and physically close to an heterosexual one without Jace himself ever showing any discomfort with Alec's sexuality.
Even when he discovered that Alec thought he might have some feelings for / be attracted to him, Jace never stopped trusting in Alec's ability to continue to respect his boundaries.
This type of representation is also extremely valuable and incredibly important to have.
