Alec understands perfectly now. Intimacy isn’t going to break him, or be his undoing. It’s going to save him, make him stronger. It dissolves his fears, or makes him brave enough to face them, to stand up and deal with the world.

Summary:

When a new same-sex dancing rule gets people talking, Magnus Bane decides to take the jump from Latin to Ballroom in order to prove that change is a good thing. Looking for a new challenge, he’s determined to win the Ballroom Championships and be crowned victorious in the first same-sex partnership. Now all he needs are the right shoes, the right music, and the right partner.

Alec is well on his way to securing another victory for his parents’ prestigious dance school, yet a new face, and surprising feelings, might change that. When Magnus turns up, he sweeps more than dancing traditions off their feet. As the competition rounds heat up, and dreams hang in the balance, can the pair prove themselves to a worldwide audience of fellow dreamers, critics and cynics?

Magnus POV

Summary:

When he had left the institute last night he had been so sure that he made himself clear – that he needed a break to make a decicion for his people and that his boyfriends presence would distract him from that. That he needed to make the decision for the downworlder in his care and not for Alec. But now –

Now he recalled the look of utter heartbreak on Alecs face, of the tears that had slowly started to form in his eyes and he silently cursed. Sometimes he truly forgot how young Alec was, how inexperienced.

He thought him leaving meant he was breaking up with him.

‘Oh my poor, stupid Nephilim.’, he thought for himself before he created a portal to go back to the institute. He still wanted a break and time away from Alec, but he couldn’t just leave him thinking he had broken up with him.
