“I do. Feel what you feel, I mean.”
“And what’s that?”
“Are you really gonna make me spell it out?”
“Yes.”Alec calls off the wedding and Magnus finds him sitting on the altar’s steps.
Magnus has always been in that nebulous role of a lover, where the definition is fluid and dynamic, a romantic connection between souls and bodies. A husband is something entirely different. The idea of being one is – it’s frightening. The idea of being wanted as one is humbling. It’s something Magnus has never considered, seen as something that could be possible in his future. But Magnus had never expected Alec – had never expected what it would mean to be loved by a shadowhunter who is a good man and a traditional one. Who loves Magnus not just between the tangled sheets of their bed, a perfect and untouchable pocket of time and space, but also in the difficult, complicated reality of the world outside the two of them that must be navigated. Magnus doesn’t expect how much he wants it.

Length:Secondary Characters:
Ragnor Fell
Secondary Pairings:Maryse Lightwood / Robert Lightwood
Summary:
It would take a miracle to save Queen Maryse and her unborn child. And a miracle is what happens one fateful night in the kingdom of Idris. There is, of course, a price, one not even the angels above could have predicted.
Prince Alexander Lightwood gets taken.
Twenty years later, another miracle stumbles into the life of the Prince. In the form of a glittering thief running for his life.
Magnus Bane.
Maybe the two can show each other just how much more there is in the world than pure darkness and greed.
You know what you’re really frightened of? Someone really loving you—heart and soul. Someone you can’t hide from. That person who sees all the ugly pieces of yourself that you’ve been hiding away for years. Those parts of yourself that have made countless other people run away. It is terrifying when you find the person who sees all of that, but doesn’t leave as fast as they can. Because you finally begin to let down walls, yet you’re constantly wondering what the one thing will be that breaks them. But the thing is…. When you find that person, there’s nothing that will drive them away. And that…. That is even more terrifying.

Summary:
“And it’s not like I don’t miss you when I’m stuck at the Institute. So I thought, maybe I could try it.”
Magnus’s eyes trailed down to the ring in sudden understanding. “You wanted to wear something of mine,” he clarified.
I may be half-angel, but I am not an angel. Just like you might be half-demon, but you’re not a demon. We are more than just one part of our heritage. We are what we make ourselves. We choose who we are.
