Part #1 of the Do You Miss Me Like I Miss You series
Chapters: One-Shot
Genre: Canon AU
Length: 1K to 5K
Rating: Teen & Up
Secondary Characters: Jace Wayland,
Secondary Pairings: None
Themes: 2×18, 2×19, Alcohol, Angst, Break Up,
Summary:
“What do you want from me, Jace? I’m sad. But I’m still head of this Institute, and we’re still on the brink of war. I don’t have time to just be sad, so I figured why not multitask with a little target practice,” he took another swig from the open can beside him and placed it back down on the floor.
Alec fumbled around on the ground looking for another arrow. When he found one, he struggled to get it into position with his bow. This wasn’t the Alec that Jace was used to fighting with. This wasn’t the highly skilled archer who could take out a Prince of Hell with a single shot. This was a shell of a warrior who needed help.

Or the one where Jace is a good parabatai and comforts Alec at Hunter’s Moon after his fight with Magnus. Cause if Jace expects Alec to talk to him about Clary in 2×19, he better have talked to Alec about Magnus first!

Summary:
“I thought we might take advantage of the opportunity this photo booth provides us with?” he answers, but it sounds like a question, like he’s unsure if Alec would be at all interested. Alec gets why, honestly – he’s never been big on taking pictures. It’s not that he doesn’t see the value in them, but photographs have always been such an ordeal with his family. Perfectly unwrinkled clothes, standing with a rigid posture. Smiling, but not too wide. It’s exhausting, trying to mold himself into whatever someone else wants him to be for a photo.
But it’s never like that, with Magnus. There’s no posing, there’s no readjusting of their clothes. It’s all very real, and Alec finds that when it’s like that, he doesn’t mind at all.

The Only Thing Holding Me Back is You by curupia

Themes: 2×18, Alec POV, Angst, Break Up,
Summary:
Ironic. That the thing Magnus feared the most was also what Alec had been afraid of. What he’d always somewhat known, in that little part of his mind that he tried so hard to silence. The voice that being with Magnus had almost silenced. That he, Alexander Lightwood, was both too much and not enough for the person he loved.
Too much: too demanding, too needy, to inexperienced, too apt to making mistakes, too draining, too useless.
Not enough: not good enough, at being a boyfriend, at being a leader, at being an ally. Not strong enough for Magnus to want to lean on, not open enough for Magnus to want to pour himself into. The little bit he had – which was everything he had – wasn’t enough to keep them together, wasn’t worth the effort.
He wasn’t worth the effort.

Summary:
“Alexander, I love you.”
“Stop saying that like it means anything anymore.”
“It means everything. I don’t want to see you hurt.”
Magnus’ eyes had softened, but Alec finally looked up at him with a mask of fury. “Too late. You hurt me Magnus. You walked away from me. And you lost your right to complain how I handle myself in battle when you did that. How dare you judge me.”
“I didn’t – I was just doing what you’d been doing since you – oh hell, you know what, just forget it.”
Magnus closed the space between them, grabbing Alec roughly by the biceps and crushing their lips together.

Post-2×18. Magnus saves a reckless Alec from a dragon demon, and they’re not ready to let go of each other just yet (or at all). Smut ensues. (Read the tags)
