Summary:

Magnus gazes at the fierce intensity in Alec’s eyes, the same intensity that sparks to life when they fall into bed together, the intensity that had burned when Alec had first told Magnus he loved him, when he’d stalked towards Magnus down the aisle of his wedding. It’s the fire that Magnus had fallen in love with first, and the fire he never wants to be without.

Cautiously, Magnus reaches out his hands, and Alec meets him halfway. They fold their hands together, and Magnus takes a breath.

Summary:

“You little fool,” Azazel says, interrupting Alec’s rising panic as his polished leather shoes coming into his line of sight. “You cannot do what you did and expect no consequences.”

(Or how Azazel captures Alec Lightwood, and Magnus lights it up and saves his boyfriend)

Telling him about his past would not be for Alec after all. It had to happen for Magnus himself, be a way for him to finally work through it without simply forgetting, he knew that now. And maybe, hopefully, he had finally found someone who would simply listen and hold his hand while Magnus did just that.

Summary:

At this point, Magnus was hanging on by a single thread. Emotions kept spilling over the edges of the walls he had built anew after regaining his own body, pretending to all that he was fine. But his past was catching up to him, his reflection blurred in all mirrors he passed. It was inevitable really, his own breakdown. This was the one thing he could do, channel his emotions into power until only wrath remained.
