Summary:

“No.” Alec says, period and all, as soon as he steps foot in the frat house. He doesn’t even need to stand on his tip-toes to take a good look at the whole party since he’s taller than most people there, so he simply leans forward to glance at the kitchen and immediately shakes his head: “Definitely not.”

He turns on his heels and manages to take all of zero steps before Izzy’s hand clamps down on his bicep, holding him there: “Don’t,” she says, clearly a warning, squinting up at him.

Alec groans and throws his head back in protest: “But people,” he says, gesturing at the truly staggering amount of people dancing and drinking and shouting in the main room.

“It’s a party,” Izzy says, rolling her eyes; she takes a step forward and drags Alec with her, “What did you expect?”

Alec glances over his shoulder at the room, where someone has apparently decided to strip down and start dancing on a table; he looks back at Izzy, eyebrows raised: “Civility?”

Summary:

It was over. They’d won. Valentine was dead and the Downworld was safe once again.

It was supposed to be over… so how did he end up there – barely able to keep himself conscious and upright even in the position he was in, groveling pathetically on his knees.

It was supposed to be over, but instead Alexander was going to die. He was going to be ripped apart by the demon barreling towards him and Magnus could do nothing but watch helplessly as another person he loved died before his very eyes.

Anonymous asked: I had a quick question: are we allowed to rec our own fics to you?


If you would like to recommend your own fics or the fics of others, please feel free to send the title and author. I’d be more than happy to look at them. Please remember though that this does not necessarily mean that they will automatically be featured in a rec or that, if they are, they will appear quickly on the blog. The queue is typically set up at least five to seven days in advance. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Anonymous asked: How do you choose what fics you post?


It’s kind of a complicated answer, simply because there are layers to it. A lot of it has to do with my own preferences, especially in terms of grammar, spelling, theme, and so on. For example, a few things that I tend to avoid are first-person point of view (unless it’s done really well) and spelling/grammatical errors (especially if they appear repeatedly throughout the fic and/or its description). I also tend to prefer fluff, hurt and comfort, and family fics, which is probably pretty apparent based on what I tend to rec. Part of the reason that I create events is to ensure that I read and rec a variety of fics so that it (hopefully) isn’t as noticeable.

Overall, as long as the fic is well-written and has an enjoyable storyline, it has a good chance of being recced – or recced eventually. There are a number of fics that I have read and bookmarked to rec, as well as others that I have bookmarked that I want to eventually return to and read. Unfortunately, it’s all time-sensitive.

I hope this made sense! If you’d like more information, let me know. I tried to sum everything up so I didn’t ramble, but I’d be more than happy to explain it more in-depth or answer a more specific question in regards to this.

Updates & Reorganization

I have a day off of work, so I’ll be periodically making updates and changes to the blog’s pages today. There’s quite a bit that I want to do, so I probably won’t be completely finished with it by tonight. However, I will make sure that everything is working before I log off. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Alright, I’m done for the night. I have updated the Tags Index and Series & Connected Fics pages to reflect everything that has been added the last few months. I tried to double-check everything, but if you have any problems with either one – or anything else, obviously – please don’t hesitate to let me know. I’ll fix it as soon as I possibly can. Again, thanks so much for your patience through this!

Summary:

“You’re pushing a lot of people away.” Alec comments.
“What else is new,” Magnus mutters in response.
“Don’t worry. You still have me.” Alec smiles softly at him, and Magnus can feel a physical clench around his heart, but doesn’t show it.
“Well that’s a relief,” Magnus says dryly.
Alec laughs. The sound echoes in Magnus’s ears.

Summary:

“I won’t tell,” Max is saying, and Alec is already halfway out of the bed when the child’s voice answers with a small: “Okay.”

There are a few moments of silence, interrupted by the raffling of sheets, and then: “I like the room.”

More silence, and: “It’s just too quiet.”

Alec glances at Magnus, worrying his lower lip between his teeth.

Max says: “You can stay with me,” sleep dragging his words a bit, “Dad and Papa say I’m never quiet.”

Magnus and Alec both snort.

Summary:

Magnus Bane turned up on the steps of the NYC Institute when he was ten years old with no memories and nothing on him but the clothes on his back, three runes, and a stele. Fifteen years later, he’s one of the best Shadowhunters in the world, but he’s never solved the mystery of where he came from. When he starts having visions from his past, he consults the High Warlock of Brooklyn, Alec Lightwood, for help.

Despite the fact that Lightwood has a reputation of being a recluse who hates meeting with anybody, he’s more than a little flustered when greeted by the most gorgeous Shadowhunter he’s ever seen … who promptly asks him out on a date.
