Summary:

“It wasn’t that he was gay. That much she was sure of. It was that she still had her prejudices, as much as she tried to deny it, and Alec had tarnished their reputation by falling in love with Magnus Bane. A warlock. A Downworlder. There was no way they would ever recover.”

Five Times Maryse Lightwood observes Magnus and Alec’s relationship and realizes that maybe what she knows about Magnus Bane is not entirely correct. +1 time that she admits that she was wrong.

Magnus POV

 

Summary:

Whenever painful memories would come back to him in the middle of the night, his first instinct was to get up from his bed and go to his balcony. There was always something comforting about seeing the subtle beauty of Brooklyn under the silvery moonlight. The aura of the borough during this time of the night was always very soothing for Magnus, especially when he hears the quiet murmurs of people coming and going, the few cars still driving by, and the distant music softly playing from another apartment nearby.

If you loved me, you’d show it.

He closed his eyes as his mind drift back…
____

Or, Magnus wakes up in the middle of the night, and he reflects on the moments he shared with people who he had loved (and lost) in the centuries he has spent living in this world. Along the way, he figures out the answer to all the questions that’s been bothering him for so long.

Summary:

So this is based off the moment in 2×12 when we see that Magnus’ contact name for Alec is supposedly “A. Lightwood.” Obviously this was completely OOC as Magnus would never use such a totally basic and impersonal name for Alec…so I somehow decided to come up with a reason why he would use that name for him. This jumps off from that little moment but isn’t related to canon at all.

Summary:

Magnus was quiet, he was still. It unnerved Alec to his core. Since he’d met the older man, it seemed like Magnus was always talking, always moving in some way. With a smirk or a snap of his fingers, Magnus was always doing something. Seeing him so still, so silent, it broke Alec’s heart.

Summary:

Magnus gazes at the fierce intensity in Alec’s eyes, the same intensity that sparks to life when they fall into bed together, the intensity that had burned when Alec had first told Magnus he loved him, when he’d stalked towards Magnus down the aisle of his wedding. It’s the fire that Magnus had fallen in love with first, and the fire he never wants to be without.

Cautiously, Magnus reaches out his hands, and Alec meets him halfway. They fold their hands together, and Magnus takes a breath.
