"I love you, Jace Wayland - Lightwood - Herondale - whatever you want to call yourself. I don't care. I love you and I will always love you, and pretending it could be any other way is just a waste of time." ~Clary to Jace, City of Glass
Clary and Jace, also known by their ship name Clace (Clary/Jace), is the romantic pairing of Clary Fairchild and Jace Herondale.
They are currently married and have eight children named Emmy, Stevie, Ella, Toby, Liam, Ava, Rose, and Adele.
== History ==
Clary and Jace first met in Pandemonium when Clary found Jace, Alec, and Isabelle trying to kill an Eidolon demon. Clary sees Jace again when she and Simon are at Java Jones. When she is attacked by a demon and stung, Jace rescues her and brings her back to the Institute. Clary later learns that she is a Shadowhunter.
As Clary adjusts to being a Shadowhunter and trying to save her mother, the two slowly develop feelings for each other. On Clary's sixteenth birthday, Jace takes her to the Greenhouse and they end up sharing a kiss. However, Simon interrupts, and Clary hastily explains that there isn't anything between her and Jace. Hurt, Jace becomes closed-off.
When they locate Valentine Morgenstern and Clary's mother, Jocelyn, at Renwick's, they manage to rescue Jocelyn. However, Valentine reveals that Jace is his biological son (Note: Valentine raised him) and, therefore, Clary's brother. This is false, however, it isn't revealed until "City of Glass" that they aren't related. He also reveals that Jace has demon blood, which is also false.
Throughout the next two books, Jace tries desperately to bury his feelings for Clary, blaming the way he feels about his "sister" on his demon blood. Clary also briefly dated Simon. The Shadowhunters then venture to Alicante, where they meet Sebastian Verlac, who is actually Jonathan Morgenstern, who is Clary's actual brother. After Clary shares a kiss with "Sebastian" (Clary didn't realize that he was her brother), Jace becomes jealous. When the two decide to trek to Wayland Manor to find the spellbook before Valentine did so he couldn't raise the Angel Raziel. They share a passionate kiss on the way back, but Clary blames Jace by saying that the only reason he kissed her was to prove that he had demon blood. Jace killed Sebastian (Jonathan went by that name instead of Jonathan). However, while trying to stop Valentine, Jace was stabbed by him and killed. After Clary successfully manages to stop Valentine, she uses the wish of the Angel Razeil to bring Jace back to life.
After it is revealed that they aren't siblings, Clary and Jace begin dating. However, due to being brought back to life, Jace was susceptible to demonic influence. The Greater Demon Lilith began possessing him in order to try to bring Sebastian back to life. This caused Jace to have nightmares about murdering Clary. This caused him to pull away. He then becomes tied to Sebastian due to Lilith's spell to bring him back to life. Jace becomes controlled by Sebastian. Clary joins them around the world, pretending to be on their side.
Eventually, their bond was broken, however, Jace became engulfed in heavenly fire for weeks. This caused them to not be able to see each other. However, after Jace's fire was contained in Heosphoros in Edom, they were finally able to be together.
As of "Lord of Shadows," Jace had proposed to Clary, however, she had declined. Clary had been seeing dreams of her dead body, and didn't want to hurt Jace. While on a mission in Faerieland, Jace and Clary were kidnapped by the Unseelie Court and put in prison. After Emma, Julian, Mark, Cristina, and Kieran join them, they are able to escape back to the Shadow World.
Both Jace and Clary took part in the Cohort's parley in order to defeat them. After they succeed, Clary proposes to Jace, and he accepted.
In September 2013, Clary gave birth to twins named Emmaline and Stephen. The couple went on to have six more children named Ella, Toby, Liam, Ava, Rose, and Adele.
"I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there is life after that, I'll love you then." -Jace to Clary in "City of Glass"
