You don’t hold me back, Alexander. You push me forward and give me strength when I most need it. And that’s not even getting started on the comfort and – and acceptance. Forgiveness. You give me hope.

It hadn’t been bravery that let Magnus fall in love with this beautiful, beautiful boy with the heart of a lion and the grace of what an angel is supposed to be. It had been nothing short of divinity. Something out of his control. The universe finally saying, here – here’s someone who will do right by you, who will stand by you.

Summary:
Magnus’ bed hasn’t felt like his own without Alec in it. His body hasn’t felt the same without Alec’s warmth pressed up against it. From the second Alec takes his hand, Magnus doesn’t waste any time fixing either of those things. [Coda to 2×20]
–When Magnus asks, “Do you want to get out of here?” it really, truly isn’t his intention to imply anything. He doesn’t even know what he expects. To finally pull Alec back into the loft, maybe. Sit on the sofa, conjure up another drink. Maybe rest his hand on the steady, reassuring beat of Alec’s heart and lean in to kiss his waiting lips.

Summary:
“I check in from time to time. Some of those times just so happened to be when you and the Lightwood boy were in some rather … compromising positions,” Ragnor threw his hands up into the air, “Or maybe I’m just a lecher. I don’t really care which you believe, I’m dead.”
“Did you seriously astral project into my living room just so you could mock my sex life?”

Summary:
“What do you want from me, Jace? I’m sad. But I’m still head of this Institute, and we’re still on the brink of war. I don’t have time to just be sad, so I figured why not multitask with a little target practice,” he took another swig from the open can beside him and placed it back down on the floor.
Alec fumbled around on the ground looking for another arrow. When he found one, he struggled to get it into position with his bow. This wasn’t the Alec that Jace was used to fighting with. This wasn’t the highly skilled archer who could take out a Prince of Hell with a single shot. This was a shell of a warrior who needed help.

Or the one where Jace is a good parabatai and comforts Alec at Hunter’s Moon after his fight with Magnus. Cause if Jace expects Alec to talk to him about Clary in 2×19, he better have talked to Alec about Magnus first!

Summary:
“I thought we might take advantage of the opportunity this photo booth provides us with?” he answers, but it sounds like a question, like he’s unsure if Alec would be at all interested. Alec gets why, honestly – he’s never been big on taking pictures. It’s not that he doesn’t see the value in them, but photographs have always been such an ordeal with his family. Perfectly unwrinkled clothes, standing with a rigid posture. Smiling, but not too wide. It’s exhausting, trying to mold himself into whatever someone else wants him to be for a photo.
But it’s never like that, with Magnus. There’s no posing, there’s no readjusting of their clothes. It’s all very real, and Alec finds that when it’s like that, he doesn’t mind at all.
