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)

Summary:

There was nothing that he could say to Magnus that would fix the mess Alec made of their relationship. He screwed up, badly. Again.

A short continuation of the scene in which Magnus breaks up with Alec, after Magnus disappears into the elevator (Shadowhunters s2x18). Hope you’ll enjoy!

Summary:

Everything is going to hell in a hand basket, but Alec can sit here for five minutes to stay out of the rain and enjoy a cup of coffee, right?

Right. That’s totally why he’s sitting at the coffee shop just round the corner from Magnus’ loft, staring at his ex-boyfriend’s apartment building.

Summary:

“Help me. I need your strength.”

Words uttered in desperation to the beautiful but troubled young Shadowhunter that had suddenly appeared by his side, who would probably never understand the gravity of what Magnus was asking from him.

But maybe this time would be different. For once Alexander Lightwood said “take what you need” and offered up his hand, his deep gaze seemed to tell him that he understood exactly the cost for Magnus would be.

—-

A warlock loves intensely, shattering themselves over and over again. Until they can find someone who will make them whole again. Magnus somehow knew, it was always going to be him.

He’s not handling it as well as he’d like.

Summary:

“Remember what you said? We always seem to find our way back to each other. Trust in that.“ Magnus swallows heavily, his features getting blurred further into Edom’s fire. “Alexander, I love y-”

The scream that rips through Alec as Edom disappears around him leaves his throat hoarse and knocks him to his knees, leaves him wondering if it’s possible to live with only half of your heart.
