Magnus is his best friend, he’s the person that Alec thinks of when he has a secret, he’s the warm glow in Alec’s chest and the laughter that bubbles in his throat.

Summary:
“I did dream about it,” Alec finally answers slowly. “For a long time. But –” Maryse hears him swallow, hears the crackle of him switching the phone to his other hand. “It’s not my dream now. I want to stay in New York. I’m happy here, and he can’t – I can’t be anywhere else.”
(or a series of coda ficlets from shadowhunters s3)
I haven’t hoped for love in a very long, long time, Alec. Not until you unlocked that part of me. I didn’t dream about you because I didn’t think someone like you would ever exist for me. Not only did I never expect you, but you’re also… unprecedented. You still haven’t stopped amazing me. With every day that passes, I realize more and more that you never will.
