The look on Magnus’s face is one Alec doesn’t think he’ll ever forget; his mouth slightly open, eyes wide and bright with tears. He’s looking at Alec like he’s a miracle, like he just told him he single handedly hung up every star in the sky just for Magnus to see; as if he didn’t know Alec would do anything for him.

Summary:
A knock on the door startles Luke from his thoughts, and he looks up just as the door opens slightly, Maryse standing on the other side.
“Alec told me you were here, I thought you could use some company,” she said, unmoving. Luke smiles slightly, and nods, gesturing to the chair beside his. She makes her way to it, the door shutting again behind her, and they sit in silence for a while, Luke’s eyes on Ollie, even though he can feel Maryse’s on him.
He knows he could die on a mission just as likely as he could before he met Magnus, but his life’s purpose isn’t just serving the Angel anymore. Magnus and what they have is what keeps him going, the person he’s become in the past few months doesn’t want to live just to die an honourable death.

Summary:
The box of mementos gave him a firm reality check, and now he can’t stop picturing his hair graying and his skin wrinkling, his body growing weaker, him dying.
But what if I didn’t?
It’s a thought that stops him dead in his tracks as he paces around his office. It’s ridiculous, crazy, but it lights a spark inside Alec’s heart.

Summary:
Luke stood before them, a bright smile on his face as he gestured to Alec, and said, “I understand you wrote your own vows.”
Simon can’t believe this is the same Alec he met all those months ago. It’s as if someone lifted the weight of the world off his shoulders at some point, and judging by the way he’s looking at Magnus, Simon is pretty sure who it was.

Summary:
“It can’t be worse than the last double date we had,” Maia says, smiling slightly. Simon rolls his eyes at that, but squeezes Maia’s hands.
“I know you’re trying to make me feel better, but that’s setting the bar really low.”
Maia smiles fully then, and Simon can feel his nerves easing a bit at the sight.
“Why are you nervous, anyway? I thought you liked Alec and Magnus,” she says softly.

Summary:
She finds herself in front of the New York Institute, the sun shining in her eyes. As Aline enters the church, she automatically starts looking for familiar faces, looking for Alec or Isabelle. Before she finds them though, another figure catches her eye.
He stands out from the sea of Shadowhunters, dressed like a prince on his day off, magic blooming at his fingertips. She knows who he is, of course, there are few Shadowhunters who don’t, especially now that he’s dating the Head of the New York Institute, who is standing right beside him.
It was as if I was holding my breath all my life, and he helped me exhale, helped me breathe freely, around him, around my family, even when I’m by myself. So yeah, it was worth it. This, him, it’s worth everything.
