Summary:


“Alec Lightwood? That boy puts family and duty before anything else. But he’s smart, Magnus. Very smart. And your succession is not as yet secure. You could do with someone very smart on your side. And someone whose brother is in the Palace Guard.”

“I can’t help but feel they’d be more on our side if we hadn’t just ordered them into servitude,” he retorted and turned back to the Lightwoods only to find Alec standing not two feet away.

“My lord,” he said and bowed.
 
Two years ago, Magus returned to his father’s kingdom to find his old friend – well, possibly more than a friend – Alec Lightwood pressed into service in his household. In those two years, Magnus has fallen deeper and deeper for him, but can’t break through Alec’s walls of propriety.

Now, in the run up to the Seelie Queen’s visit, more and more is happening within the court that could push Alec out of his grasp forever, from potential arranged marriages to his own father wanting to steal Alec to his own bed. And Alec still has no idea what a simple touch from him can do to Magnus – but is about to find out.

Summary:

“I was flattered,” he admitted. “Not enough to seriously consider it though.” He shrugged, watching Magnus carefully, and picked up his own glass again.

Magnus looked up at him then with a sharpened gaze. “Why not?”

“Many things, to be honest. I’d miss too many people. There’s a lot of work to do here still. Part of me wondered if they were offering it to me to get me away from New York.”

“From me.” Magnus’ voice was flat with no inflection and Alec winced. He moved to sit next to Magnus and put his glass down on the table so he could take one of Magnus’ hands, his thumb rubbing at one of his rings.

Summary:

“Happy Pride!” Clary cries, throwing her arm in the air and releasing hundreds of small glittery rainbows over the both of them. Well, over Magnus and mostly in Alec’s face.

Somehow Alec manages to look stoic and nonplussed at the same time; like he’s become used to not knowing why Clary is doing something and is refusing now to even ask the question.

It’s Alec’s first Pride – once he figures out what Pride actually is.

Summary:

Three conversations that could have happened after Episode 3×05 Stronger Than Heaven, all based around these lines:

“Yes, there will be life after you. If I’m not killed by something or someone, I will go on living. That’s a certainty. It doesn’t make me happy about it. And it doesn’t make our life together any less.”

Summary:

He cautiously walked to Alec and sat down, sitting cross-legged. He tugged the box away from Alec’s unresisting fingers, closing it with care.

“They’re just memories,” he said gently. “Some happier than others.” Alec still didn’t raise his head.

“Is that why you said no? Because one day I’ll be in that box.”

Summary:

At some point, Magnus and Alec have to talk. It’s just, Alec doesn’t quite know how.

“I’m nervous,” Magnus admitted eventually. Alec reached down and found his hands and squeezed them.

“I’m not.” He waited until Magnus looked at him again, and shook his head. “I’m not nervous, Magnus. Not about us. Never about us.”

The look on Magnus’ face was almost awestruck, his dark eyes contemplating Alec’s until he shook his head, brushing Alec’s hair off his forehead.

“You’re so sure,” he marveled. “So sure. And it’s not like I’m not sure, about us, about you, don’t get me wrong, but. I sometimes can’t believe you’re this sure about me.”

Summary:

They sit in silence for a long, agonising minute before Alec asks him again, his voice hitching mid-word.

“Please. How can I fix this? I have to… Magnus, please.”

Magnus closes his eyes and shakes his head in a tiny gesture that silences Alexander more than a shout could.

Summary:

Given how freely the Shadowhunters walk in and out of Magnus’ loft, especially when they need his help, it’s only a matter of time before they manage to embarrass Alec.

Comedy fluff scene I’d love to see sometime in 2b, because I can’t get enough of red-faced Alec and shameless Magnus.

Alec pressed against him. “Hey,” he whispered, before finding Magnus’ mouth briefly. “Can we not… worry about stuff? Just for a while. And go back to worrying later?”

“Is this the Alexander Lightwood way of asking me to fool around? By turning it into something to do in between worrying?”

Magnus grinned at him as Alec pushed at his shoulder in protest, and then Alec shrugged.

“Yeah, kinda.”
