Summary:
The glamour was gone. Magnus was so exhausted that he couldn’t be bothered to expend the energy to hide his real eyes. He hadn’t even considered the fact that Alec would be there. The thought would be a humbling one if Alec hadn’t forgotten everything he’d been doing literally less than a second ago.
(In which Magnus comes home after a long day, and Alec reevaluates his bias towards the color black.)
Month: February 2018
Magnus saw the cruelty of the world but decided to be compassionate and kindhearted. There was a strength in him that Alec saw clearly, even hidden through layers of glitter and fancy clothes.

Summary:
This was just all so new, Magnus and he, Alec was nervous but excited to see where it would go. How in the hell was he ever suppose to ever get some alone time with Magnus with Jace-the-constant-mood-killer-Wayland as an unwanted houseguest? The story of how Alec Lightwood tries but doesn’t always succeed in moving his and Magnus’s relationship to the next step.
‘Alexander…’ Magnus whispered, his breath hot in Alec’s ear. ‘Tell me if you want me to stop.’ Stop? If Alec wasn’t so far gone he might have actually laughed at the thought. Alec gave a quick nod of understanding before pulling Magnus’s mouth back to his, pretty sure he felt the Warlock smiling against his lips.
One-shot set post episode 2.06 Malec trying to get it on with Jace cockblocking all over the shop.
I asked Magnus the end of the story but he said it didn’t have one. He said the beauty of a love story is that it never truly ends.

Magnus POV,
PWP, Warlock Mark RevealSummary:
Magnus couldn’t control the torrent of gasps escaping from his mouth when Alec left his lips and started sucking on his neck. He couldn’t do anything but lie there and feel the stars. “Magnus,” Alec moaned.
Magnus felt his glamour slip away before he was aware it was happening. Alec was still kissing his neck, but Magnus could no longer see the stars flash before his eyes, could no longer feel the warmth rushing through his veins. All he could think of was the fact that this gorgeous boy was kissing him, making out with him, and he let his cat eyes out. Alec wouldn’t want to see those.
The one where Alec first sees Magnus’ cat eyes, and Magnus is more insecure that people think.
