Summary:

Alec couldn’t remember the last time the Lightwood mansion had been so spirited. Even when their parents were away on business, the Lightwoods often had guests staying at the mansion, although it usually wasn’t for longer than for a night of festivities in the peak of the summer. Apparently – or so he had gathered from Isabelle’s fondly annoyed and persistent claims – this guest was special, not only because he wasn’t meant to stay for a single night, and not even because he wasn’t a potential business partner.

“He is a celebrity,” Isabelle told him when he lifted an eyebrow at her, silently leveling her with a dubious look.

The Victorian AU no one asked for, where Magnus and Alec fall in love through chess, poetry and whispers in the night, but nothing is that simple.
