Summary:
Magnus has had a long day.
It was supposed to be a relaxing, lazy day in. He had planned on taking a long bath while listening to King Freddie and let the essential oils unwind the tension from his shoulders. Maybe he would have spiked up the whole thing with one of his homemade martinis.
Or the one where Magnus learns he shouldn’t make plans, Alec gets high on a potion, and the Chairman is sassy.
