Shadowhunters, dev buddy & emotional feedback, T & multi

Fandom: Shadowhunters
Characters/Pairings: Ensemble piece, focusing primary on Alec, Jace, Izzy, Clary and Magnus, with the pairings Alec/Magnus, Clary/Jace and developing Simon/Maia, with a very strong focus Alec & Jace.
Rating & Warnings: rated T so no significant sexual content. Canon-typical violence, non-graphical. Major warnings for mental health stuff, primarily in earlier parts of the series. (i.e. not in the part being currently written - and I don't expect a beta coming in at this stage to backread!)
Estimated Fic Length: 20-50k
Notes: I am stuck on the final installment of this series. Importantly, I don't expect anyone coming in at this point to read all 208k existing words! The best summary for this series is that I take all the CPTSD in the show seriously so things are pretty awful for a while, and then they get really better. (At this part of the story, most of those themes are resolved, though Clary's still dealing from fallout of how her mom died and the Jonathan situation.) Additionally there are Jewish OCs and I'm trying to meld the show's worldbuilding with Jewish sensibilities. (I'm Jewish and have access to support on this front.)

In order to finish (and I'm quick once I get writing!), I need to be able to (1) talk with someone about the story and what's going on with it and (2) share parts of the story as I write them and receive emotional feedback.

Please talk to me if you think this may be of interest to you!

I'm sorry, I have no time or emotional energy to beta, but I'm very interested in Shadowhunters and melding it with Jewish sensibilities. I'm very excited to learn about this and look forward to the reading the whole series. Good luck finding a beta!

Hey, sorry for the late answer, but if you don't have anyone yet, I might be able to help. The series sounds very interesting and I love the concept of paying more attention to the obvious CPTSD that gets neglected in the show. Send me a message if you'd like!
