‘What was my first gift to you?’ The smile that bloomed across Magnus’ face made the memories come flooding back: the stunned look in Magnus’ eyes, his startled little, ‘Me?’, the way he immediately discarded the dainty gift bag from Tokyo in his eagerness to get to its content. He was so sure the word omamori would come out of Magnus’ mouth, he sucked in a startled gasp when instead he answered, his voice warm with tenderness, ‘Your strength.’

Set in the show canon alternate universe from This World Inverted

Six months after meeting at the Institute party, Magnus and Alec are balancing the unconventionality of a relationship that merges the mundane and supernatural worlds with the threat arising from the dreams Magnus is plagued with even while he’s awake. With the knowledge that something dark and destructive is coming, they must scramble for answers and a way to handle what happens when their two worlds collide.

Blog Update: New Custom Pages

As referenced in this post, I’ve been playing around with custom page themes for the last few weeks. You’ll notice that I have made several of them live tonight, including the Ask Page, About Page, Tags Index Page, and Collections & Events Page. I have tried to double check all of the links, but obviously this has been a huge project and I may have missed something. If you find that a tag isn’t working or is incorrectly linked, please do not hesitate to let me know and I’ll look into it as soon as I can.

I am still working on two matching pages for Canon Universe Series and Alternate Universe Series, which will replace the current pages, as well as another that will house all of the Author Appreciation Day 2.0 information when it is released in about a week. Stay tuned!

do you know any authors who write stuff mainly about Magnus? I can’t find any really

tenderalec:

shit… uhm, i wish i could help you, but when i read fanfics i don’t very often check out the author’s other works because i’m a dumbass  u___u so i don’t actually know a lot of authors, just a lot of fics. But!! i’m gonna make a malec fic rec post soon 😀 so hopefully you’ll find some goode stuff on there. @malecficlibrary has a great tagging system though, so check that out.

if anyone has any recommendations, comment on this post please!!

Thanks so much for the shout-out! 🙂 

For the anon: while Magnus-centric fics may not necessarily be all from his perspective, here’s a link to the Magnus POV tag for ease of access. That’s as good a place as any to start.
