Unhappy Ending

 

Summary:

Ironic. That the thing Magnus feared the most was also what Alec had been afraid of. What he’d always somewhat known, in that little part of his mind that he tried so hard to silence. The voice that being with Magnus had almost silenced. That he, Alexander Lightwood, was both too much and not enough for the person he loved.

Too much: too demanding, too needy, to inexperienced, too apt to making mistakes, too draining, too useless.

Not enough: not good enough, at being a boyfriend, at being a leader, at being an ally. Not strong enough for Magnus to want to lean on, not open enough for Magnus to want to pour himself into. The little bit he had – which was everything he had – wasn’t enough to keep them together, wasn’t worth the effort.

He wasn’t worth the effort.

Summary:

“Alexander, I love you.”

“Stop saying that like it means anything anymore.”

“It means everything. I don’t want to see you hurt.”

Magnus’ eyes had softened, but Alec finally looked up at him with a mask of fury. “Too late. You hurt me Magnus. You walked away from me. And you lost your right to complain how I handle myself in battle when you did that. How dare you judge me.”

“I didn’t – I was just doing what you’d been doing since you – oh hell, you know what, just forget it.”

Magnus closed the space between them, grabbing Alec roughly by the biceps and crushing their lips together.

Post-2×18. Magnus saves a reckless Alec from a dragon demon, and they’re not ready to let go of each other just yet (or at all). Smut ensues. (Read the tags)

Summary:

There was nothing that he could say to Magnus that would fix the mess Alec made of their relationship. He screwed up, badly. Again.

A short continuation of the scene in which Magnus breaks up with Alec, after Magnus disappears into the elevator (Shadowhunters s2x18). Hope you’ll enjoy!

Summary:

Everything is going to hell in a hand basket, but Alec can sit here for five minutes to stay out of the rain and enjoy a cup of coffee, right?

Right. That’s totally why he’s sitting at the coffee shop just round the corner from Magnus’ loft, staring at his ex-boyfriend’s apartment building.
