Secondary Pairings:

None

Themes:

Cat-Eyed Magnus,

Drained Magic, Established Relationship,

Magnus POV

Summary:

The man charges forward, blade in front of him, and Magnus steps out of the way, turning as he does, facing the man once again. The smile forming on the man’s face fills Magnus with unease, and then the man speaks.

“No magic, warlock?”

His tone is triumphant, cocky, downright arrogant, and Magnus can’t help but smirk at him, any unease he felt slowly disappearing. He says nothing in response, letting the man bask in his confidence for a breath, before charging forward.

/ malecficlibrary / Leave a comment

His life had been split into two parts, before Magnus, and after Magnus. But suddenly, he’d found himself facing a new, even more terrifying chapter; without Magnus. The idea had suffocated him. He remembered how to be callous, how to cage himself up as tightly as he could, how to cover the bars with harshness and sharp words. He could survive that way, sure, but he couldn’t live like that, now that he knew the difference between living and surviving.
