Summary:

Every so often, Magnus breaks out his tarot cards and does a reading for Alec. A series of codas set after 1×06, 2×07, 2×15, and 2×20 (and one more in an undetermined future).
–

“Tarot cards,” says Alec, unimpressed. He frowns at the worn, faded deck that Magnus places on the table. “Do you really believe this stuff? That it can tell your future?”

“This craft is less about divining the future and more about… getting perspective on the present,” corrects Magnus. “Would it really be too much trouble to indulge your newest – and by my guess, only – warlock friend in a harmless hobby?”

“He watched with a sadness he couldn’t define as Alec drained the last drop of his drink. A toast to the dying, he thought, and took another sip of his own. Magnus supposed Alec had stuck to their agreement: One more drink and then decide. He’d decided.”

This author’s take on the missing scene from 1×06 “Of Men and Angels”.

Summary:

“Last time we called the memory demon–” Alec starts.

Magnus theatrically rolls his eyes. “When we called Valak you were a miserable teenager, in love with your brother. You had something to hide. It isn’t going to be like that this time.”

When Magnus had changed, he’d pulled on tight pants and an ornate emerald green jacket, open to his sternum to show off the necklaces he has layered on. His makeup is perfect now, smudges of kohl transformed into dark black lines. He looks every bit the High Warlock again, no longer like some late night fantasy created solely to torment Alec.

Alec forces a brittle smile. “Sure,” he says.

Summary:

An almost awed expression takes over Alec’s face when he looks down at their hands between them, Magnus’ own looking small and delicate when locked with strong archer’s hands.

“I can have this” Alec muses, “can’t I?”

“You really must stop playing hard to get, Alexander” Magnus tells him, “it makes things difficult”

And how refreshing it is for Alec to meet Magnus’ light-hearted flirting with an embarrassed smile rather than a stoic mask of refusal, how beautiful Alec is when he’s not trying to be otherwise. Magnus brings their hands to his mouth and brushes a soft kiss across Alec’s knuckles. “Will you let me take you out, Alexander? For fear of sounding cryptic, I’ll clarify and say that I do mean a date. Dinner, perhaps?”
