Length: 1K to 5K

Rating: Not Rated

Secondary Characters: None

Secondary Pairings: None

Additional Relationships: None

Themes: Domesticity, Established Relationship, Fluff, Magnus POV, Winter 

Summary:

There’s a few moments of shuffling as they both find comfortable positions but soon enough Magnus is stretched out with his feet on the low coffee table in front of the couch and Alec cuddled close to his side. The blanket is over them both now and it’s all adorably cozy.


It settles something in him. It’s a nonchalant closeness that he never thought he’d have and Magnus soaks it up even as he rolls his eyes as Alec leeches every bit of his body heat. He opens his book back to his spot and lays the hardcover in his lap. Alec, for his part, hums faintly and burrows deeper into Magnus.

Or, a quiet winter morning.

Summary:

Alec loves his job. He’s been touring since he was sixteen. He’s stayed in dozens of countries over the years, learned enough of their languages to get a beer in his hand and a man in his bed. The road is as much his home as the townhouse on the Upper West Side. He’s as comfortable in cheap hotel rooms with scratchy linens and glaring lights as he is in his penthouse that overlooks Central Park with its silk sheets and the constant hum of the city that never sleeps.

Alec works hard and that hard work has paid off. He just finished his latest sold-out world tour and by all rights, he should be on top of the world. But the mental pressure of celebrity is getting to Alec and he doesn’t trust his footing. He’s stuck where most people would kill to be and he just wants to know what his next move should be.

Enter Magnus Bane. A history professor at Columbia University, Magnus is content with his friends, his classes, and the occasional warm body in his bed. But he’s been feeling stagnant, looking for the next chapter in his life to begin. If only he knew what Alec would bring his way.

Summary:

Magnus is idly tracing shapes over Alec’s heart. His head is a comfortable weight on Alec’s chest and Alec almost thinks the crick in his neck come morning would be worth it if he didn’t have to move in a few minutes.

In his soft voice, as if he was afraid to disturb this peace that’s wrapped around them this evening, Magnus had asked Alec his favorite color and Alec doesn’t know what to say.

Alec has trouble deciding on his favorite color.

Summary:

Alec throws back the rest of his drink, feeling pleasantly buzzed. He has no intention of getting drunk, he doesn’t want to miss a moment– is trying to sear every second of this day on his memory– but he’s feeling good and this drink is delicious.

He’s about to turn around and order another, planning on taking it with him as he looks for his errant husband, when a hand wraps around his arm.

“Quick, kiss me! I’ll explain later–”

Alec’s smiling as he mutters, “Wha–”

Magnus’s lips meet his before he gets the word all the way out and then he’s not thinking at all.

Christmas,

Domesticity, Established Relationship, Family, Fluff,

Head of the Institute Alec,

High Warlock Magnus,

Kids, Magnus POV,

Shadow World Politics,

Winter

Summary:

The dichotomy of Alec is endlessly fascinating to Magnus. He knows– was confronted once upon a time– that Alec is surly and can be downright brutal, his temper running hot or icy depending on the situation. He can be rude and standoffish and frighteningly cold to whomever hasn’t earned his respect. He’s a consummate professional, a brilliant leader and tactician, but there’s no denying that his boyfriend can be a bit of a dick.

But he’s also soft and soaks affection up like a sponge, physically demonstrative in a way that Magnus could never have predicted.

A typical day in the life of Alec Lightwood.

Outside POV,

Pandemonium

Summary:

St. Vincent’s attention catches on the one spot of stillness in Pandemonium– there’s a man, no a shadowhunter, staring at Magnus with single-minded focus. He’s leaning against the bar, untouched drink in hand, and it looks like he doesn’t even register anything going on around him.

He only has eyes for Bane.

Or, Magnus’s friends have the best of intentions, even if they are a little out of the loop.

Summary:

There’s no hiding the blood crusting on Alec’s ribs, the mauled opening in his chest. While not bleeding, Magnus knows the extent of the injury is serious. Fatally, so.

The demon’s claw has nicked Alec’s heart. More than nicked– it had cut into Alec’s heart, severing an artery. Magnus had tried desperately in the alley, but he couldn’t knit Alec’s heart together. There’s a painful irony in there somewhere about broken hearts but if Magnus allows himself to travel down that path he may never make it back.

Magnus waits for Alec to wake up.

Alec spends the time thinking about the past year. While Magnus had been the catalyst for his change, ultimately it was Alec who had taken his life by the horns and set it on the track he wanted. He was more comfortable with himself, more confident, than he’d ever been and a large part of it was due to coming out.
