Summary
A few canon facts about Ragnor Fell: He’s grouchy and he complains about everything, but he’s kind underneath the gruffness.
He and Magnus Bane push each other’s buttons like the worst siblings, but he’s willing to let Magnus drag him into any mess, and he’s ready to drop everything and run to Magnus’s aid the second he thinks Magnus is in danger.
He’s the only person who can convince Catarina Loss to take a vacation, and they go hiking and to hot springs together.
He doesn’t like to wear glamours, finding he has better luck with women with his green skin and horns. And you don’t earn endearments like “sweet peapod of love” without being at least a very good flirt.
He teaches Showdowhunters for almost a century without killing any of them, and is the only teacher at the Academy (grouchily) patient enough to put up with Matthew Fairchild at his worst. And he never gives up the hope that the Nephilim as a whole can change for the better.
This is a collection of Ragnor centric stories, spanning roughly two centuries of his long life. Set entirely to songs from the Shrek soundtracks, because Magnus would find that hilarious and Ragnor would not.
