Summary:

It took all of his conscious energy and will to keep his eyes open, to not let himself drift off into sleep because if he did, the chances of him waking up were beyond slim. Magnus would be there soon. He would. Jace would be able to track him using their bond now that Alec had been thrown back onto land.

More than anything, being with Magnus was freedom, it was happiness, passion and gentleness, and a kind of intimacy Alec had never dared to believe in; it was having a safe place to crash, a best friend to laugh and cry with, someone who shared your burdens and your joy. Above all, being with Magnus was home. And Alec knew that no matter what, he wouldn’t trade what they had for anything in the world.

Summary:

They had talked about marriage before, hushed voices late at night. The first time it had slipped out of Alec’s mouth it had been fairly early on in their relationship, making Magnus’ heartbeat stutter and Alec blush, feeling like it was much too soon to bring up the topic. But Magnus had only smiled, the way he did now, whispering a soft someday as he was cupping Alec’s cheek before pressing a gentle kiss to his lips. Since then, marriage seemed inevitable, but not in a threatening way. They both took comfort in the knowledge that this was where their paths would lead one day.

It always stayed a someday though, various incidents in their personal and professional lives pushing the thought back. There really was no rush, because married or not they both knew that what they had would last forever. But now that Alec felt the flimsy piece of lace between his fingers, surrounded by his loved ones and eyes focused on the only one that mattered, he felt a new kind of urgency he hadn’t experienced before. He wanted someday to be soon, tomorrow, now. And from the look on Magnus’ face, he understood.

—-
“Hi.” Alec’s voice came through at last, he sounded as sleep-deprived as Magnus felt. It made him feel a little better but then even worse when he realised how relieved he was that his boyfriend couldn’t sleep either.

“You haven’t been sleeping.” Was not what he should have said. Magnus was not off to a good start.

Summary:

Magnus kept going for a few steps without noticing before having to backtrack; he moved to stand in front of Alec and the shadowhunter wrapped his arms around the other man’s waist, dropping his head onto his shoulder. Raphael, however, stopped immediately and grabbed Simon’s hand, a soft expression on his face that Alec hadn’t expected. Magnus hummed curiously at the picture before them.

“What else happened? You’re hiding something, Si.”
