They’re both a little cracked around the edges, both their hearts are tender and bruised but they’re careful with each other, and though Alec can’t speak for Magnus, he knows that being with Magnus is healing his own. Magnus makes him feel special in a way that Alec had never felt before – never thought he’d be able to feel. It’s – incomparable.

Summary:
Magnus is bursting with pride. He can see the shift happening inside Alec, the way he’s exploring his newfound and reassured identity, how he’s reshaping who he’s once been into someone he feels like now – someone confident, happy, at peace with his own heart. He’s finally able to flourish and Magnus wants nothing more than to experience this journey with him, glad to witness all of it first-hand.
After all, it’s an amazing feeling, to find oneself after a long time spent hidden away.
The rainbow flag draped loosely around Alec’s shoulders feels weightless. It’s where it belongs, Alec supposes. He’s where he belongs.

The air is suddenly saturated with coloured powder, every colour of the spectrum mixing in the atmosphere, filling the sky with a sea of colour. And then the crowd erupts.

The rainbow flag draped loosely around Alec’s shoulders feels weightless. It’s where it belongs, Alec supposes. He’s where he belongs.

I think everyone understands taking some time away from regular fandom stuff for the #SaveShadowhunters movement right now! ❤ Thanks for everything and keep up the amazing work!!
Thank you, I really appreciate your understanding and support! ❤ I just feel bad, because I’ve been so MIA with everything going on. I don’t want anyone to think that I’m giving up on this project because I’m not definitely not.
Short Hiatus – NOT PERMANENT
As originally posted on the affiliated Twitter account.
I know I said that I’d try to keep the You Pick the Tag Event on schedule, but with how much I’ve been concentrated on the #PickUpShadowhunters campaign I was only able to read and rec one fic that fits your request from last week’s voting. I think it would be best to postpone the event for one week so I can ensure you actually get the amount of content you all deserve. So on that note, Week #1’s Arranged Marraige fic recs will be posted NEXT Friday instead.
I want to keep my attention focused on contributing to the #SaveShadowhunters campaign, but I’m only human and can only do so much at once. I am going to put the blog on a short hiatus over the weekend; I will re-evaluate the situation on Sunday night and we’ll go from there.
This is NOT a permanent hiatus. Regardless of what happens with the show, the blog will remain functional. I just want to make sure that I’m doing everything that I can to help save it. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
I’ll be on hiatus here a little while longer. I’m really sorry, but I think the campaign to save the show is really important – not to mention incredibly significant for fandoms as a whole – and I want to do everything that I can to help.
I’ve been extremely active on the account’s affiliated Twitter account and will continue to be until we actually get a statement from networks and streaming services. I’ve been providing Analytic Updates throughout the day and have created a database to keep track of hourly tweet counts for each hashtag. I have also created a blog, NotOurLastHunt, to try to connect the campaigns on different platforms a bit more cohesively, so feel free to check that out as well!
As you can probably understand, maintaining all of this has been extremely time-consuming. But I want to reiterate that this is NOT a permanent hiatus. I WILL be back to continue this blog – I have things lined up already – but I feel that it’s necessary to focus on the #SaveShadowhunters campaign at this time.
