Blue jeans and blue sky [Mortal Instruments, Malec, Nc-17]

Blue jeans and blue sky by Evil_Keshi

Magnus was seven years old when he arrived in Colorado to start his new life - with new parents, a new language, a new everything. Making friends would have helped him, except that his first encounter with the neighbours' kids didn't go too well, and Magnus vowed to hate the Lightwoods forever.

Forever. No matter what.

First of all. Stories about horses (especially fics) always let me down. They are always this fictional shit where people just take the horse from the barn and gallops to the sunset. That's it. There is zero hard work, zero warmups for the horse and zero common sense when dealing with horses.

So I kind of did not know that this fic was going to revolve around horses. If I had known that, I probably wouldn't have opened the fic. But now I am really happy that I opened this fic. Everything was awesome in here. How they actually did some work with the horses and nothing was just handed to them.

Okay. I have to admit. This contains teenage angst and drama and what else. But it fits them when they are just teenagers. You can't really expect anything else from them but that. Also, the competitions bring more drama and action to their lives. Otherwise their life is pretty ordinary and kind of boring. They go to school, they ride and they do the normal teenage crap. There is no supernatural shit nor there are some weird murders that only teenagers can solve. So the whole fic is just something that I would like to read about teenagers more.

And I don't really have anything bad to say about this. I liked Magnus backstory, I liked how Jace was jealous of him and how their chemistry was logical but dramatic. The only part of this fic that I did not understand was Alec. But we can totally skip that part because in the books (and in the show) Alec is always falling in love pretty quickly and makes hasty stuff because of it. So it just fit the character too well to be a bad thing.

So yea. Totally worth it. And maybe if you want to write a story about horses, you should do your research better and take a look at a story that has a good example of how a horse story should go. So all the kudos about that. Seriously. All the kudos for the horse part. Everything. Yea.
