In some ways you’re too sensible for him, but it’s what he needs – someone who thinks about him when he won’t. He’s been burnt in the past, scorched to the bone, and he thinks it’s what he’s worth, but you and I both know that isn’t true.

Summary:

Missing scene after Magnus rescues Alec in 2×08. I thought there was room for a little comfort and worry there before everyone got down to business finding the warlock that cast the spell on them.

Alec, look at me. You’re amazing, darling, not because of what you wear, but because of who you are. You’re a leader, Alexander, you’re strong and brave, and loyal to a fault. You care so much about those around you, you’ll do anything to keep them safe, you want to make things right between our worlds, and you’ll stop at nothing to make that happen. That’s what everyone sees when they look at you darling, they don’t see the clothes you wear, they see a powerful leader that’s going to protect them and bring us all into a better world.
