It’s the Little Things by katwriting

Chapters: One-Shot

Rating: General Audience

Secondary Pairings: None
Additional Relationships: None
Themes: Alec POV, Domesticity, Established Relationship, Fluff, Hazel-Eyed Alec, Head of the Institute Alec, High Warlock Magnus, Outside POV, Post-2×20, Shadow World Politics, Travel, Winter

Summary:


When Magnus has to go away on a business trip to wintery London, Alec makes sure he won’t get cold.

Growing up in the Institute had taught Alec a lot of things. Most importantly, to always have warm clothes at hand as soon as the weather became chilly. The concrete walls of the Institute may be a perfect shield against the heat during summer, but they absorbed every bit of warm air inside as well. So warm clothing during winter it was. For Alec, that didn’t really pose as a problem, he had long gotten used to low temperatures in the Institute.

Magnus, however, was an entirely different story.

The Butler Did It by Carmenlire

Chapters: One-Shot

Genre: Canon AU

Length: 1K to 5K

Rating: Not Rated

Secondary Characters: None

Secondary Pairings: None

Additional Relationships: None

Themes: Domesticity, Established Relationship, Fluff, Magnus POV, Winter 

Summary:

There’s a few moments of shuffling as they both find comfortable positions but soon enough Magnus is stretched out with his feet on the low coffee table in front of the couch and Alec cuddled close to his side. The blanket is over them both now and it’s all adorably cozy.


It settles something in him. It’s a nonchalant closeness that he never thought he’d have and Magnus soaks it up even as he rolls his eyes as Alec leeches every bit of his body heat. He opens his book back to his spot and lays the hardcover in his lap. Alec, for his part, hums faintly and burrows deeper into Magnus.

Or, a quiet winter morning.

A NEW HOME

/ malecficlibrary / Leave a comment

This site originated on Tumblr and moved to WordPress in December 2018. While the site is usable, it’s important to note that it will still be under construction for the foreseeable future. There are quite a few things that need altered and updated in order to re-create and improve upon elements here from the site on Tumblr. Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience as I continue working on the site in order to make it as user-friendly as possible.

For more information concerning what you can expect from this transition and what I will be altering, please click here.

Anonymous asked: hi! i’m sorry to bother you about this but i saw you uploaded your blog to wordpress and i had a question since i’m trying to do the same thing: do you know if posts you make after your blog is imported will still automatically be uploaded to wordpress?

Hi there! No, it appears that anything you post on Tumblr after you have imported your blog to WordPress does not automatically post there too. There are plugins available on WordPress to allow you to do that, but you have to have a Business Plan (which you have to pay for) in order to use them. However, I have just found out that you can use an applet on IFTTT to connect your Tumblr to your WordPress and vice versa in order to auto post. You might want to look into that to see if it fits your needs. I hope that helps!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

/ malecficlibrary / Leave a comment

In case you missed it the last week, I have been in the process of moving the blog to WordPress following Tumblr’s announcement last week. While there is still a lot of work left to be done, I feel comfortable announcing that the blog will officially be moving to its new home and begin posting new recs this Saturday, December 15th.  I will share the link to the new site on Saturday morning, Eastern Standard Time. The site here on Tumblr will remain up and available, but all new content will be posted on WordPress.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THE BLOG’S NEW HOME?

All of the positives that were applicable here on Tumblr will still be present on WordPress, along with a few added benefits thrown in. 

  • All of the fic recs that were posted over the last (nearly) two years have already been imported to the new site. They will not be lost in the transition.
  • The Tags Index page, which allows for easy browsing of fic recs based on a variety of categories, has already been created and completed.
  • There is no tag limit on WordPress. This allows for a more widespread and accurate organizational system than Tumblr, which will make it easier to navigate the recs that have already been posted as well as those to come.
  • WordPress also utilizes categories, which will be featured in the sidebar alongside each page and will make it easier to browse through recs and administrative posts at a broader level.

WHAT WILL STILL BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION?

While the site will be usable, it’s important to note that it will still very much be under construction for the foreseeable future. There are quite a few things that need altered and updated in order to re-create and improve upon elements from the site here on Tumblr.

  • The formatting of every post was altered when it was imported to WordPress. I am currently in the process of fixing it, but this will take some time.
  • The tags linked within the recs will not transition to other pages on the new site. I am currently working on altering them so they eventually will but, in the meantime, if you scroll to the bottom of the recs you can click on the tags linked there to browse them on the new site.
  • I am also working on re-creating a few other pages that were on this site, which allowed readers to browse fic recs by series, author, and fandom event. 

Thank you in advance for sticking with me through this transition, as I attempt to preserve this collection of recs, as well as for your patience as I continue working on improving the new site and its organizational system. Stay tuned for the link on Saturday!
