Her phone vibrates beside her hand on the desk, and she smiles at Alec’s name on the screen.

“Hello,” Aline says as she picks up the phone.

“Hi, it’s Alec, I hope I’m not calling too early,” he says, sounding barely awake himself. “I just wanted to let you know that as thankful as I am for the offer, I’ll have to refuse the position on the Council.”

Summary:

The springtime has finally fully settled into the city air, and Alec and Magnus take full advantage of that one morning after they’ve had coffee on the loft’s balcony. Walking hand in hand, they’re making their way through Central Park when they spot the entourage of people trailing behind two women is flowing white dresses. Without exchanging a word, Magnus and Alec come to a stop, taking in the scene before them. There is a man with a hefty camera in his hands, and he is checking something on it as a woman fixes the hair of one of the women in a white dress. A few more people are running around them, fixing the dresses or fiddling with the trees and flowers, but soon enough almost everyone steps behind the photographer, leaving only the two women in each other’s embrace.

It is only then that it clicks finally, at least to Alec.

Those are wedding dresses.

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.

Summary:

Catarina falls back onto the couch, her legs seemingly giving out at Alec’s story. About Lorenzo summoning Asmodeus, the threats and the attacks, about Magnus being taken by his father. She just stares off into the distance for what feels like hours, and Alec can barely look at her, waiting, because she has every right to send him away, and he wouldn’t blame her if she did.

“Why did you call?” she asks instead, her voice barely held together, even though her expression is trained into a neutral mask, something Alec recognizes very well.

“I found a spell book that might help, but I can’t read all of it, and I obviously can’t perform any of it,” Alec says, handing Catarina the book. “I was hoping you could help me.”

“Do what exactly?”

“Get to Edom.”

Summary:

“Lila here has a question for you, if that’s alright,” the woman says, glancing at the little girl- Lila, who lifts her gaze to Alec. He smiles at her, and she instantly smiles back, more relaxed.

“What did you want to ask, Lila?” Alec says, his voice gentle, and he can feel Magnus’ eyes on him, but he keeps his own on Lila, silently encouraging her.

“Do you have to put on your tattoos by yourself every day or does your boyfriend help you?”

He can’t believe he ever thought staying in the closet, hiding who he is, was what he planned to do for the rest of his life, can’t believe he almost missed out on having all of this. Not just Magnus, but this feeling of freedom and ease, this weight lifted from his heart, this unique feeling of being himself, of accepting himself.

Summary:

They stay on the balcony for a while, listening to the sounds of New York at night. Alec noticed the glasses and the discarded pillows when he walked in, but he doesn’t want to break the comfortable silence they’ve fallen into. He looks over at Magnus, and by the angel, he looks beautiful, breathtaking. but the longer Alec watches him, the more he can see the makeup and hair and the clothes for what they really are.

An armour.

Summary:

Alec often thought about kissing Magnus.

Whenever Magnus would casually touch him, a hand of his arm, an arm wrapped around his shoulders, Alec would be overcome with warmth, feeling each touch throughout his entire body. Each touch left him wondering how his body would even contain him if Magnus ever kissed him.

And whenever Alec thought about this, his mind barely registered the world around him, barely aware of anything existing but Magnus. Which was a wonderful thing, a beautiful world to have his mind focused on, a world consisting of only Magnus.

Still, their English teacher didn’t really appreciate it.
