He’d always known Shadowhunters as a society felt the need to control every aspect of their life, including pretending they didn’t have emotions. He’d just never really met a Shadowhunter who was so obviously bad at denying how he felt, and who was so incredibly sad because of it.

Summary:

“Two can play at this game.” Alec had the pleasure of watching Magnus go from confused, to a slow smirk, and understanding coming to his eyes. “I might not be able to kick him out, but I can make him want to leave.”

A.K.A
The story where Jace keeps interrupting Alec and Magnus’s ‘alone time,’ and they’re both super fed up.

The bow is just a tool. You give the bow its power. Can’t you see it, Alec? […] You’re not hiding anymore. By admitting who you truly are, you’re no longer using part of your energy keeping everyone at a distance. It’s confidence, Alec. You’ve always been strong. Capable. Fierce. Now you’ve been unleashed. A true warrior.

Summary:

Magnus’ bow. The thought doesn’t come with the bitter aftertaste Alex expects. He turns it over and over in his head in the dark when he’s lying on his bed at the Institute, unable to sleep, hands clenched at his sides. He thinks about the moment when he handed the bow over to Magnus, fulfilling their contract, and how gently Magnus held his most prized possession.

Summary:

Magnus cast his gaze around the group before him and rolled his eyes. “Oh please, don’t act so surprised,” he said, with a haughty sniff that may or may not have been genuine, and he brushed invisible debris from the right shoulder of Raphael’s embroidered suit jacket. “Where did you think his impeccable dress sense came from?”

A collection of stories about Magnus the Downworlder Dad, his Alexander, and his (their) Downworlder sons.

(Spoilers up to Episode 2×13).

He never expected to have something like this again, barely even dared to hope. Although, again might be the wrong word. He has been in love before, too often and too easily, some might say, but this is decidedly different. The way Alec makes him feel, fireworks going off in his chest whenever he’s near, everything and everyone else blurring to gray as soon as Alec enters a room―that’s something else. It’s frightening. It’s exhilarating. It makes him want to smile for no reason.
