Sacred Sin

This is a tale of ancient times, when the human and non-human worlds had not yet split. The Holy Knights, the defenders of the realm, possessed tremendous magical powers and were both feared and revered. But among their number were a few who betrayed the realm and made enemies of all Holy Knights. These knights were known as the Seven Deadly Sins.There were seven of the Seven Deadly Sins until Minerva joined their ranks. She fought alongside the sins, but never claimed a sin of her own. That is until 12 years before this story begins. She was branded with a peculiar "beast," the dove. Ten years ago, Grand Master Zaratras was brutally murdered, and she (along with the rest of her comrades) took the fall and were forced to go into hiding. Now, Princess Elizabeth, the third princess of Liones seeks the Seven (or rather Eight) Deadly Sins to help take her kingdom back. Meliodas still searches for the long-lost sin of the dove. Minerva knows both will catch up with her soon.That fateful day grows nearer, and Minerva will have to face the consequences, both of her sin and of her choices. A Holy War is dawning and just maybe, she will be on the right side this time.

Sweet Little Serena (Rewrite)

The greatest Shadowhunter of his generation is what they say about the legendary Jace Wayland. But, what you don't know, is that they also say the same of his twin sister, Serena. For Serena is many things. She is the Clave Envoy to Downworlders. She is the parabatai to Isabelle Lightwood. And Serena herself, is a Lightwood, because she's married to none other than Alec Lightwood. Having grown up together, the four of them made a promise that whenever they go on a mission, four go in and four come out. Join them as they fight to keep that promise when their world is turned upside down by the introduction of Clary Fairchild, the fiery daughter of the biggest threat to the Shadow World, Valentine Morgenstern. Will they stay together? And above all, will they stay alive?(Seasons 1-3)(A/N: This is the rewritten version of the original story already published. It is also available on AO3. Would like to note that I have nothing against Alec being gay or Malec, I love them, this was just an idea that popped into my head, so please don't hate. Please don't plagiarise any of it.) (Disclaimer: I don't own anything except Serena and any original scenes and dialogue that I have written.)
