Ok. So I was reading this Malec Dancer fic and its called “Eyes on Me” and I accidentally closed the tab and can’t find it anymore. If you could find it and link it that would be amazing. Thanks
Hi! I think you’re referring to Eyes on Me by clockworkswan. It’s currently on my to-read list, so I won’t be posting a fic rec for it at this time, but you can use the link provided to find the spot where you left off. Happy reading 🙂
You’re welcome 🙂 and sure! I’m assuming that you’re referring to his eyes and not his belly button. If so, I’ll be sure to include any future fics that have a story line that predominantly feature them in the new Cat-Eyed Magnus tag. Thanks so much for your feedback!

Summary:
Magnus was no stranger to having a person, or two, in his bed. But the reason behind his current bedmates broke his heart.
Keep in mind that these requests are fairly specific, which can make it a bit difficult to match exactly.
I browsed quickly through the Fluff and Jace tags, but I would encourage you to go through them a bit more extensively to see if anything else fits.
With the time that I had, I wasn’t able to find many fics that I hadn’t already recced to fit your Jace request. However, that doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. Some fics have more complex plots and it may be featured somewhere within them, but they’re difficult to find simply by searching for them. If anyone has any recommendations on this front, please feel free to respond to this post or send me a message.
Keeping that in mind, these are the fics that I can recommend at the moment. Most of them are one-shots and all of them are complete.
For works that have been previously recced and fit your “sleepy and cuddly” request, see:
And for works that fit at least portions of your Jace-related request, see:
For works that I have stumbled across more recently that fit your “sleepy and cuddly” request, see:
Finally, for the work that fits your Jace request, see:
The full recs for all of these will be posted over the course of the day, but you can use the links provided above, if you so choose, in the meantime. Happy reading!
Chapters: One-Shot

Secondary Characters:
Catarina Loss, Izzy Lightwood, Jace Wayland
Secondary Pairings: None
Themes: Alec POV,
Established Relationship, Fluff, Hurt & Comfort
Summary:
Magnus hasn’t touched Alec since it happened, and Alec feels his absence like a missing limb. All he wants to do is hide away in his boyfriend’s arms, instead, he had to undergo an exam by an Institute medic, his sister, and now Catarina. Three people have touched him since the incident, and none of them have been Magnus. Alec hates it.
Alec accidentally acquires magic. No one is really sure how to deal with that.
The response to the Fic Preference Poll honestly blew me away. Over the course of three and a half weeks, sixty-eight people participated. Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to vote! This wouldn’t have been possible without all of you!
The results have been tallied and are represented below. Please remember that fic recs will be based on your preferences from July 3rd to July 16th.
Note: If the categories you voted for didn’t earn enough votes to be featured, please don’t be disappointed. Yes, I designed this poll to guide my recs for these two weeks specifically, but the results will also influence future recs as well.
For this question, participants were asked to vote for only one choice. The majority overwhelmingly went to chaptered fics. Although both will be featured throughout the two weeks, these will be featured more predominantly.
Do you prefer canon-verse or alternate universe fics?
For this question, participants were able to vote for up to two categories. When all canon-verse (Canon Compliant, Canon AU, and This World Inverted) and alternate universe (Human AU, Crossovers, Other AU) fic categories were combined and compared, canon-verse was preferred. Both canon-verse and alternate universe fics will be featured for one week of recs, but based on these results canon-verse fics will go first.
Of the canon-verse choices, the majority went to Canon AU fics, while Human AU fics were the most popular alternate universe choice. These will be featured more predominantly in their corresponding weeks.
For this question, participants were able to vote for up to five themes. The top ten choices were Fluff, Domesticity, Hurt & Comfort, First Time, Soulmates, Angst, Established Relationship, Warlock Mark Reveal, Family, and Relationship Milestones. These themes will be predominantly featured during the seven days devoted to canon-verse fics.
For this question, participants were once again able to vote for up to five themes. The majority went to Soulmates, Friends to Lovers, Coffee Shop, Domesticity, Crime, Established Relationship, College, Fluff, Pretend Relationship, and Fairy Tales / Fantasy. These themes will be predominantly featured during the seven days devoted to alternate universe fics.
“I would love to see more Magnus focused fics! A lot of the fics seem to be Alec focused/centric or Magnus taking care of Alec physically or emotionally. I think this is probably a bigger trend in fandom where Magnus seems to be secondary to Alec, unfortunately, even if the fics are from Magnus’s POV.”
I have definitely noticed that the majority of the quality fics I’ve been able to find so far tend to be Alec-centric. As you point out, I think part of that is just a trend in the fandom. However, I have already started to focus a bit more on trying to find quality Magnus-centric fics. Thanks for your request!
“The Proposal AU.”
I’m not sure if this is a fic rec request or a request for someone to write, but I haven’t been able to find anything like this on A03. If someone knows about a fic that would fit this or if the person who submitted this could contact me with more information, I’d be willing to look into it a bit more, but keep in mind that I’m only here to rec quality fics that have already been written. Thanks for your participation!
“Rivals-to-partners, particularly in AUs (neighboring shop owners, professors, etc.)”
I will try my best to work this into the requests I post in response to this poll, but I have a lot of other criteria that I have to make sure I fulfill. If I’m not able to fit it in, you can count on recs with this theme being posted either before or after this event. Thanks so much for your request!
“Please only complete fics :)”
For these two weeks of recs, I will abide by this. However, outside of that time period, I cannot promise that I won’t rec any works-in-progress if I think they are high quality, especially original, and deserve to be highlighted. I know that some readers prefer to only read complete works – and sometimes I fall into that category myself – but there may be just as many who appreciate works-in-progress and I have to try to cater to everyone’s preferences. Whenever a work-in-progress is recced though, I will be sure to mark it as such and update the post when the fic is completed. Thank you for your input though! I’ll keep it in mind as I continue preparing recs, even outside of the two weeks in July.
“I love when they have problems and then they work it out. Whether it’s jealousy or something else.“
Quite a few longer fics include plots where they have to overcome some sort of obstacle, whether interior or exterior, and since chaptered fics will be predominantly featured during these two weeks I don’t think I’ll have any problems fulfilling this request. Thanks so much for participating!
“Honestly, I just need to see them happy and healthy. Have they drank enough water? No? Let’s have a 5000 word fic of them staying hydrated!”
This might be my favorite response 🙂 the way you worded this was fantastic. I’ll definitely try to include fics that feature fluffy, happy, and healthy storylines. Thanks for participating!
