“Daddy isn’t dead, Papa,” Rafael states, and Magnus’ stomach drops.
“Rafe…” Magnus trails off, unable to figure out what he could possibly say to fix this. He thought this was over. He doesn’t think he can deal with this.
He doesn’t think he can break his son’s heart again.

or the one where Alec dies, but Rafael knows he’s coming back home to him. Alec promised him.
He knew that he belonged in Magnus’ arms with as much certainty as he knew that he loved his siblings or that looking at the sun would blind him. And Magnus was his sun: warming him up from inside with the gentlest of touches on his hand, his arm; dazzling him with every smile he flashed him, burning and giving him life with every breath he took.
“So, Alexander,” Magnus said, fully enjoying the lack of etiquette in the way he addressed the Crown Prince, “What can I do for you tonight?”
“Well… I want… Can you…”
The prince stuttered and trailed off, staring at Magnus with wide, frightened eyes that, to the warlock’s utmost horror, filled with tears in a second. He didn’t have the time to ask what was wrong though, because the boy took a breath and then blurted out:
Calling all Shadowhunters fic writers! I need your feedback for Author Appreciation Day 2.0!
Last year, this blog dedicated a single day to show the fandom’s appreciation for our amazing fic writers on National Author’s Day. Numerous readers and fic writers participated by leaving supportive and appreciative messages, which were then shared with the fandom on November 1, 2017.
I am definitely planning on making this an annual event, as I think it helps bring some positivity to the fandom and highlights a portion of our incredible artists who I feel often go underappreciated. This year, I want to do something a bit different and one of my ideas goes far beyond what I did last year. It would take a lot of planning, so I want to know if there’s interest in it first.
If you write any fanfiction for the Shadowhunters fandom – whether it be for Malec, Clace, Sizzy, Saia, Clizzy, Climon, Saphael, Jimon, BrOTPs, character-centric fics, family fics, or something else – please take part in the polls that are currently live on our Twitter account and will remain open until April 7th.
Question #1: Would you feel comfortable providing a mailing address to a private form so something small could be physically sent to you? The information would NEVER be made public. It would only be used for sending you something showing the fandom’s appreciation.
Question #2: Instead of something being physically sent to you, would you prefer that there was an option where the object showing the fandom’s appreciation could be sent as an attachment via email? Again, this address would NEVER be made public.

Simon can’t believe this is the same Alec he met all those months ago. It’s as if someone lifted the weight of the world off his shoulders at some point, and judging by the way he’s looking at Magnus, Simon is pretty sure who it was.
Alexander loved with all that he had. Unfiltered, honest. It never ceased to amaze Magnus, how Alec could be such a strong and fierce leader, commanding his people with one harshly barked word, and still be the same person who blushed and stuttered at compliments but never hesitated to dole them out; who always treated Magnus with such tenderness, worshipping his body as though it was a treasured gift that Alec was blessed to be permitted touch. He wondered if Alexander would ever truly understand what a miracle he was.
