Summary:

She finds herself in front of the New York Institute, the sun shining in her eyes. As Aline enters the church, she automatically starts looking for familiar faces, looking for Alec or Isabelle. Before she finds them though, another figure catches her eye.

He stands out from the sea of Shadowhunters, dressed like a prince on his day off, magic blooming at his fingertips. She knows who he is, of course, there are few Shadowhunters who don’t, especially now that he’s dating the Head of the New York Institute, who is standing right beside him.

Summary:

Filler-y stuff for 3×01

It was as if I was holding my breath all my life, and he helped me exhale, helped me breathe freely, around him, around my family, even when I’m by myself. So yeah, it was worth it. This, him, it’s worth everything.

Her phone vibrates beside her hand on the desk, and she smiles at Alec’s name on the screen.

“Hello,” Aline says as she picks up the phone.

“Hi, it’s Alec, I hope I’m not calling too early,” he says, sounding barely awake himself. “I just wanted to let you know that as thankful as I am for the offer, I’ll have to refuse the position on the Council.”

Summary:

The Institute is New York City’s finest dining establishment, winner of two Michelin Stars and currently chasing after its third. Head Chef Alec Lightwood is notorious for running a tight ship in his kitchen, but everything is about to change with the arrival of their newest recruit, renowned pastry chef Magnus Bane.

In the competitive, cut-throat world of the restaurant industry where pressure runs high and tempers run hotter, can Alec keep his team under control, win a third Michelin star, and ignore his ever-growing attraction to a certain charming pâtissier, whose smile is even sweeter than his desserts?
