The Unbecoming of A Shadowhunter

The Many Reasons to Love William Herondale.

Funny Will: You cut me. It might be fatal.... Dear me, massive blood loss. Death could be imminent.

Wise Will: Never trust a duck.

Desperate Will: No. I'll tell you anything you want to know tomorrow. Anything. Just leave me alone now. Tessa. Im begging you. Do you understand? Im begging you. Please, please leave.

Protective Will: You might think so. Others see no difference between his illness and an addiction, and they despise him for being weak. As if he could stop taking the drug if he had enough will power. They've said as much, sometimes to his face. I didn't want him to have to hear it from you too.

Depressed Will: I have lost everything. Lost everything. Everything.

Book Will: A Tale of Two Cities, i read it again, you know, because we talked about it. You were right. It isn't silly at all.... There is not future for sydney is there, with or without love? He knows be cannot save himself without Lucie but to let her near him would be to degrade her.

Proud Will: Theres nothing to be sorry about. You were brilliant in there, Tessa. Not a step out of place.

More Protective Will: You did love your brother once, didn't you? I could see your face when he was speaking to you, and i wanted to kill him for breaking your heart.

Loving Will: The institute is your family now.

Lust Will: I have wanted to do this, every moment of every hour of every day that i have been with you since the day i met you. But you know that. You must know that. Don't you?

Pained Will: I called you up, you blue skinned bastard, to get you to take the curse off me. My sister - Ella - she died that night. I left my family yo keep them safe. Its been five years. Its enough. Enough!

Broken Will: Everything Ive done. All the lying, the pushing people away, the abandonment of my family, the unforgivable things i said to Tessa - a waste. A bloody waste, and all because of a lie I was stupid enough to believe.... My whole life wrecked, destroyed...

Grateful Will: Charlotte, I forbid you to resign your directorship. Do you understand? Over all these years you've done everything for me as if i were your own blood and Ive never told you I was grateful. That goes for you as well, Henry. But i am grateful and because of it shall not let you make this mistake.

Giddy Will: Demon Pox, oh, demon pox, Just how is it acquired? One must go down to the bad part of town until one if very tired. Demon pox, oh, I had it all along- No not the pox you foolish blocks, I mean this very song - For i was right and you were wrong!

Passionate Will: I did it because I love you! I love you Tessa, and i have loved you, almost from since the moment I met you.

Romantic Will: I pulled them out of the fire my self. I read them all. Every word you wrote. You and I, Tess, were alike. We live and breath words. It was books that kept me from taking my own life after i thought i could never love anyone again. It was books that made me feel that perhaps i was not completely alone. They could be honest with me and i with them. Reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, i Felt- i felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamed. I felt I was dreaming And thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted- and then I realized that truly i just wanted you. The girl behind the letters. I loved you from the moment i read them. I love you still.

Desperate Will: Nothing Matters more! I know that if you hate me its because i forced you to. I know that you have no reason to give me a second chance to be regarded by you in a different light. But i am begging you for that chance. I will do anything. Anything.

Hiding- his- emotions- for-the-benefit -of-others Will: I do not know two finer people, and could not imagine better news. May your lives together be happy and long. Congratulations brother.
