Shadowhunters

The Shadowhunters AU is my take on the Shadowhunter Chronicles, centering around the Seoul Institute ran by the Song family

The Songs have always held the Seoul Institute for as long as it has existed. Generation upon generation helped build it to its current glory. They were one of the few strongholds that remained free during Sebastian Morgenstern's brief reign of terror, though at the cost of several of its residents lives. They were also present at the founding of Livia's Watch. Though not as famous as other Institutes like the ones in New York, Los Angeles or London, they can and will be equally as formidable especially when its residents are concerned.

At present, the current Heads of the Institute are Song Jae-Min and Ryu Hye-Rim. The couple have four children Eun-Hye, Ji-Hwan, Tae-Yeong and Yi-Hyeon. Living with them are 4 Shadowhunter families: Seo, Moon, Chae and Kim.

To outsiders, the Songs are a tight-knit family whose loyalties lie within each other first and foremost. They represent an Institute that might as well be an autonomous body given how fairly detached they are to the rest of the Nephilim. However, there's a little bit of an open secret within the family; something they've never bothered hiding but no one ever bothered knowing for it had all happened during the chaos that was the Dark War.

Lady Ryu wasn't Lord Song's first wife. In fact, they aren't each other's first spouses and their marriage is nothing but a political move to keep appearances up. Ryu Hye-Rim is the younger twin sister of Song Jae-Min's first wife, Ryu Yoon-Hee, who was killed during the Dark War. wip
