Everything with Magnus is so new, there’s just first after first, so many things Alec never thought he would think or feel. It’s overwhelming. It’s amazing. It’s scary, to think he almost missed it.

Themes:
2×18,
Summary:
Magnus gets tangled up in a spell that has everything he touches, living or not, turn to gold. Thankfully, the key to breaking any fairy curse is true love’s kiss. Alec would be the simple solution to this dilemma – except that despite his best efforts he and Magnus are still not together, an uncrossable line drawn on the sand between them.
–“Is anything different for you now?” Alec asks quietly. “If I tell you again that I’m sorry, if I ask you again to give us a shot, that I really think we can make it work – will that make a difference?”
This is How I Do When I Think About You by Madzie
One-Shot
Genre: Human AU
Length:
Secondary Characters:
Max Lightwood,
Simon Lewis
Secondary Pairings:
Dot Rollins / Maia Roberts, Dot Rollins / Max Lightwood,
Lydia Branwell / John Montverde
Themes: Alec POV,
Business Owner, Enemies to Lovers,
Family,
Food & Cooking, Hazel-Eyed Alec,
Summary:
“Hello, I’m the owner of Pandemonium—the bakery right next door.” he gave Alec a deliberate once over, leering in that coquettish way that tells Alec that Bane likes what he sees—And he might be just a tad bit smug that the visceral attraction is mutual. “sorry if we end up running you out of business cheekbones, you understand ’s just the rules of the jungle. Nothing personal on my end.”
–
And that was it. Their fate was sealed.
IF Alec was anything, it was competitive. So now it was his fucking duty to not only thrive, but turn the tables and make it so Pandemonium was the one hanging for dear life, and it was Alec offering up his condolences to the dying business.
It’s always scary to abandon yourself to someone, to put your heart in their hands and trust them with it. It doesn’t mean it’s not worth it.
