Bane Chronicles (X) - The Course of True Love (and first dates) by Cassandra Clare
And, last but not least... The Course of True Love (and first dates) by Cassandra Clare (Der Fluch wahrer Liebe (und erster Dates), À la poursuite d'amour) where it contained 49 pages in the Bane Chronicles Volume.
Alec asked Magnus on a date. Magnus is TERRIFIED. And everything possible goes wrong, starting with a broken glass and ending with a raging werewolf... :)
It's actually pretty sweet, you know? How they both are so afraid of doing something that the other doesn't like – and over that nearly ruin the date. But it's good they got around to it, eventually.
But the reaction of the New Yorker doesn't really make sense. I always thought that New Yorker were used to that kind of thing? They stick around far too long! Really, no matter how good looking that guy is. As well as the thief himself. He had THE opportunity to flee with the briefcase. Instead he didn't only stick around to risk them informing the authorities, he's also Alec's biggest fan, even though Alec kicked his butt. That doesn't make sense.
Additionally, this first date had NOTHING to do with the first date from Magnus memories in the eighth story of this very same series.
The song is... special.
It's funny, but still very, very realistic Magnus expects Alec to break his heart – which he does, in the end. I'm so sorry for Magnus, by the way.
In brief:
A star for style, characters and ideas.
