Alec held his gaze and he seemed somehow calmer, unflinching, as he stood face-to-face with Magnus’s otherness, his permanence and power. As calm and steady as he’d been when he walked away from the altar at his own wedding to kiss Magnus before his family, the Clave, and everything he’d ever thought he believed in. Always his steadiest, his most decisive, when the situation most called for uncertainty and fear.

I believe…I do believe marriage is a partnership—I shouldn’t have mocked you for that, I’m sorry…One built on passion, love, trust. I heard it said once that marriage should be a soft place to fall. That you can be more, strive higher, because you know there’s someone to catch you if you fail, someone who will remind you of everything you are. Who can lend you strength when you’ve lost yours.

Or, Why Magnus Never Married

***

“Meaning well is not well enough,” Ragnor said to Magnus in some shabby French café several decades ago. “You remember what Simone said. ‘The danger is not that the soul doubts there’s any bread, but lest, by a lie, it persuades itself that it is not hungry.’ My dear friend, there is no bread. Do not pretend any of these well-meaning ‘acts of love’ feed that starving soul of yours.”

“That’s not exactly how she said it. I do believe you’re paraphrasing.”

“And you’re avoiding the issue, which I’ll allow because I’ve eaten too much and need to concentrate on digestion. But I hope you’re listening too.“

Magnus doesn’t know which part of this is making his heart ache more. Is it that Alec, beautiful, innocent Alec, is doing all of this to repair what his parents broke? That he’s carrying such a heavy weight with no one to share it, that he’s expected to throw his life away into a loveless marriage so that the Clave will respect the Lightwood name again? Or is it that Alec has gotten under his skin, that his gentle voice flows through Magnus’ veins where his blood should be, that his heart has come out of hiding for the first time in over a century only to be kicked back into the depths of his chest because Alec won’t ever want Magnus like that?

Relationship Milestones

 

Summary:

An almost awed expression takes over Alec’s face when he looks down at their hands between them, Magnus’ own looking small and delicate when locked with strong archer’s hands.

“I can have this” Alec muses, “can’t I?”

“You really must stop playing hard to get, Alexander” Magnus tells him, “it makes things difficult”

And how refreshing it is for Alec to meet Magnus’ light-hearted flirting with an embarrassed smile rather than a stoic mask of refusal, how beautiful Alec is when he’s not trying to be otherwise. Magnus brings their hands to his mouth and brushes a soft kiss across Alec’s knuckles. “Will you let me take you out, Alexander? For fear of sounding cryptic, I’ll clarify and say that I do mean a date. Dinner, perhaps?”
