Alec’s mind lingers on the colours, the man in his arms a rainbow, a spectrum. He wonders how he never saw in colour before, but maybe he needed this – this man, who seems to be every colour at once, whose spirit shines bright from within – to overwhelm him, oversaturate him, wake him up.

Summary:

Before Magnus, Alec’s life was pale and colourless.

They’re both a little cracked around the edges, both their hearts are tender and bruised but they’re careful with each other, and though Alec can’t speak for Magnus, he knows that being with Magnus is healing his own. Magnus makes him feel special in a way that Alec had never felt before – never thought he’d be able to feel. It’s – incomparable.

Summary:

Magnus is bursting with pride. He can see the shift happening inside Alec, the way he’s exploring his newfound and reassured identity, how he’s reshaping who he’s once been into someone he feels like now – someone confident, happy, at peace with his own heart. He’s finally able to flourish and Magnus wants nothing more than to experience this journey with him, glad to witness all of it first-hand.

After all, it’s an amazing feeling, to find oneself after a long time spent hidden away.

Summary:

The air is suddenly saturated with coloured powder, every colour of the spectrum mixing in the atmosphere, filling the sky with a sea of colour. And then the crowd erupts. It’s louder than it has been all day; people are jumping, shouting, kissing, hugging. The euphoria in the air is so thick it’s almost tangible.

The rainbow flag draped loosely around Alec’s shoulders feels weightless. It’s where it belongs, Alec supposes. He’s where he belongs.
