Summary:

“It’s not much. Just a few touches of gray. On anyone else, he’d think it looks distinguished. Hell, he’s always thought a little hint of silver in dark hair was pretty attractive. On anyone else, he’d probably think this hair looks kinda hot.
But, of course, it’s not on anyone else. It’s on him.”

Alec has a gray-induced bad hair day. Obviously, Magnus can’t allow that.

Set over twenty years after “The Mortal Instruments” series.

I may have kissed you, Magnus, but you showed up. You didn’t give up on me, even when I told you to. If you hadn’t come, I would’ve married her, and I would’ve been stuck in a loveless marriage for the rest of my life. […] I’m not in love with you, Magnus, but if you hadn’t refused to give up on me, I would’ve never gotten the chance to even dream of falling in love someday.

@bald-dinosaur asked: Hi! I was just wondering if you would help me look for a malec fic I’ve been wanted to read for ages. Its set after Alec comes out and he gets a letter from another shadowhunter who tells him how much that meant for him/her. Thank you so much in advance 🙂 

Hi! I think you might be referring to “A Different Kind of Hero” by heartsdesire456. The rec for this fic will be posted shortly. I hope that helps!

Summary:

“What happened?” Alec asks, and he very suddenly notices the three huge tears in the fabric over Magnus’ torso. The shirt isn’t being held together by much and this at least allows him to tear it off swiftly, finding gauges made clearly by claws. “Is this the worst of it? Are you hurt anywhere else?”

“I think I may have sprained my ankle” Magnus answers thoughtfully. “And my pride. But that’s the main source of the problem, I imagine.”

He feels like he’s carved his heart out of his chest and he’s holding it out in front of him. He shouldn’t care this much about Alec, this soon, but the fact is that he does and that means Alec has power over him, power Magnus never thought any Nephilim would have. His heart is Alec’s to take or destroy, and so he waits.

One Night Stands

Summary:

So there he was. Midnight, at a party. Preparing himself to do something with a guy. To spend one night getting all of this- this unspeakable desire out of his system. He needed to forget it before he made a mistake and ruined his career, his chances of becoming Head of the New York Institute.

(Alec’s panic attacks were getting worse and worse and maybe if he spent one night with a guy he could get it out of his system, and he could forget being gay and loving Jace. But nothing went that smoothly, so of course Alec’s one night stand had to be Magnus Bane, and they had to keep bumping into each other. It wasn’t like Alec wanted to understand his emotions, anyway.)

Summary:

‘How did one go about starting a conversation with a complete stranger? Say ‘hi’? Ask the man to pass him a book? Compliment him, out of the blue? Oh god, he wouldn’t be able to do that, not in a million years, and – the stranger was staring back at him now.’

Alec Lightwood lives his life in monochrome. He lacks the color and the vibrancy that he knows he needs- it’s what he longs for everyday. He just doesn’t know how to find it. The first year of college can be a confusing time for anyone, and Alec is no exception. He’s at a point in his life where he begins to question everything about himself.

And then he meets Magnus Bane.
