It was charming to watch him, trying new things and enjoying them just for the sake of enjoyment, without any reasons or excuses necessary. Without denying himself the pleasure. Magnus loved giving Alec these things, these experiences, just as much as Alec loved giving him gifts.

Summary:
But one thing they could never seem to fix was how often they got interrupted whenever they did have time to spend together. It seemed as if no one in the entire shadow world could function without dragging Magnus and Alec into their problems.
So that’s what this vacation had been about, three weeks away, just the two of them.

Summary:
Alec’s breath catches nearly every time he looks at Magnus, and it happens even during times they haven’t been on an official date. But tonight is different. Magnus isn’t his sedate and dignified self right now. He’s back to being flirty and relaxed, and he looks so good that Alec can’t stop thinking about touching him.

Magnus can’t remember when he’s slept this well, or been this comfortable being literally wrapped up with someone in bed. Magnus spends so much time alone, and has done so for decades, that waking up with someone else feels odd.

Summary:
Alec can hardly believe Magnus sometimes. He knows that Magnus is powerful. He feels the magic coursing through him every time Magnus heals him or steadies him when he’s using the parabatai rune. He can feel the emotional and physical strength inside Magnus every time they touch. But still… sometimes Magnus does something to remind him that the beautiful warlock is incomparable to anyone Alec has ever known.

“Why is this so important to you?” Alec’s voice bit into him, signaling that this discussion was touching a nerve for him. Which meant that it was a conversation to be had and not forgotten.

It took Jace a little while to realize that something was subtly different about his favorite spot, but it finally occurred to him: he hadn’t seen any of the cats on the balcony in a few days.

Summary:
The morning after the fiasco that was Max’s first rune ceremony was one that Magnus planned to spend in bed. Actually, he’d planned to spend the entire day in bed, ignoring the world and its problems.

Summary:
He lied. He wasn’t fine, absolutely not. But Alec did not want Magnus to worry, to burden him with his thoughts. Alexander was born and raised a soldier, he had to be strong, had to be the leader. That’s everything he ever was and everything he learned to be.

Summary:
The squeak of the patio door sounded inordinately loud when he pushed it open. Even though he’d known this would be where he’d find Magnus, he still sucked in a gasp when he saw his shape lined out against the bright Brooklyn skyline. It wasn’t so much Magnus’ presence that surprised him – Alec had expected to find him there – but his position. He was leaning over the balcony railing, gazing down into the steep drop falling away below him.
He should have known. He really should have known that was the reason Magnus was upset.

Summary:
Based off of the promo for 2×08.
Alec knows that what Clary’s saying is true. Up on the roof of Magnus’s building, sick with guilt, Alec contemplates taking that one final step off the edge into the night sky. Until, at least, he hears the door to the roof click behind him. Will Magnus manage to bring him back from the edge?

Summary:
Maryse watched Alec go and knew she should follow. Everyone else was gone and she couldn’t be late for Max’s rune ceremony. She took a step but faltered. There was something she hadn’t done but what was it. She glanced at the balcony and spotted Magnus and sighed. Magnus Bane.
Length: Under 5K
Rating: Mature
Summary:
“Magnus, will you stop? Just look at me?”
No. No no no. Looking at Alec would be an absolutely terrible idea. If he looked, he’d see Alec falling again. And his imagination would build on that memory to show him what would have happened if he’d arrived just half a second later.
“I get jittery after a fight that intense. Adrenaline, I suppose. Does that happen to you?” The bottle rattled alarmingly loudly against the rim of the glass and he put them both down.
“Yeah. But it’s time to stand down now.” But Alec’s breath warmed his hair on the back of his head, accompanied by the lightest brush of a kiss, and the tension drained from Magnus. He sagged under the hands resting on his shoulders like a puppet whose strings had been cut.
“Alexander–” Part of him wanted the shrug off Alec’s hands and pull himself together, and part of him wanted to just fall into those and let them bear him up for a while.
It had been so very long since he’d had someone he could count on for that.

Summary:
Another missing scene! alec and magnus talk things out after the last episode (2×08).
Alec shifts on the couch, angling himself away from Magnus and gesturing to the mess. “I can help you clean this stuff up,” he offers, moving to do just that.
“No.” Magnus catches his wrist as he stands. “Just. Stay close to me, Alexander. Please.”

Summary:
Coda/ fix-it fic for Love is A Devil. Conversations in various stages of darkness.
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.”
Length: Under 5K
Rating: Mature
Summary:
Magnus understands that, but he’s not sure that Alec does. The spell was not created to force any of them into action. It creates hallucinations of deep fears, the fears that dredge up hollowness and self-loathing, that create suspicion and hatred. That’s all. But where others had fought among themselves and attempted to hurt each other, Alec’s fears made him turn on himself, and there is little Magnus can do to stop that from happening again.
He can’t fix this with magic, no matter how much he longs to try.

Following a week of excellent fic writing in the fandom, here is a round-up of one-shots that are based on the events of 2×07.
Collective Themes: Established Relationship, First Time, Fluff, Hurt & Comfort, Relationship Milestones
Note: From here on out, I’m hoping to put one of these together each week and post them on Monday mornings prior to the new episode being released. I am also planning on going back and creating something similar for past episodes, but that probably won’t happen until the mid-season hiatus.

Summary:
“Hi,” Magnus says, moving closer and smiling softly like he knows what’s going on in Alec’s head, running his thumb over one of Alec’s eyebrows and cradling his jaw. “Are you ok?”
Alec swallows and nods, fingers splayed over Magnus’ ribs as he takes a shuddering breath at the contact. It takes a little while for the words to come, and when they do his voice is low and thick. “I never. I didn’t think I could have this.”

They both know that there’s something special between them. They both know that being vulnerable can open you up to amazing things some times.
Sex, though.
It never goes the way you imagined.
Magnus knows that. Alec doesn’t.

Summary:
Magnus trips a little over his own feet as Alec backs him further into the bedroom, making their hold on each other tighten. For a moment it’s impossible not to get lost in it, not to open his mouth for Alec’s tongue and grab at the back of his shirt, allowing Alec’s big hands to hold him steady while he kisses him deeper.
“Wait,” Magnus says and finally breaks away, the two of them still standing so close he can feel Alec’s breathing, the way it’s gone heavy. He closes his eyes, the tips of Alec’s fingers playing with the hair at the nape of his neck, and the want in his body curses the words that come next. “We should – wait.”

Summary:
“Magnus,” Alec says softly, moving closer to him, “you have nothing to worry about. I promise.” He swallows and Magnus traces the line of Alec’s throat with his eyes. “We don’t have to do anything if you don’t want to.”
Magnus inhales. “Let’s just slow things down a moment,” he suggests, taking Alec’s hand. “We should talk.”
Length: Under 5K
Rating: Mature
Summary:
This seems to have come out of nowhere. One moment they’re making their first tentative forays into heavy necking and light petting and suddenly Alec is talking about “the next step.”
I think we’re pole-vaulting over a few steps here, my dear.
The sudden leap shows. The energy in these kisses is all wrong. Thoroughly pleasant and full of potential, yes. Absolutely. Without a doubt. But still wrong. Not since he charged the wrong way down the aisle at his own wedding has Alec kissed Magnus like this, as though afraid that if he doesn’t keep plunging ahead, he’ll falter and turn back.
Maybe that was necessary at the wedding. For Alec to stop his life mid-course and veer off in an entirely new direction took tremendous courage and one hell of a leap of faith. Magnus knows that. He’ll be eternally grateful that the leap carried Alexander in his direction.
But sex between them shouldn’t be something Alec needs to psyche himself up for.

Summary:
Ducking his head Alec nods again. “Okay. We should talk? Should I- should I put my shirt back on?” Alec looks around and sees his shirt is hanging off the back of a chair. “Oh I don’t see why you would want to go and do that. I think this is the first time we’ve finally been shirtless at the same time!” Magnus lets his hand move up Alec slowly to meet the other in Alec’s hair. The action brings their foreheads back together. Alec lets out a shaky breath and his hands move down just as slowly to hold onto Magnus waist.
“So we probably need to talk about what we would want to do umm like positions and stuff. Right?” Alec’s cheeks go pink. “Yes. I’m sure you’re not completely in the dark, Jace and Isabelle probably being very open about this stuff.” Magnus pulls away slowly as his hands gently trace along Alec’s skin from his neck down his shoulders and arms to take his hands.
“Why don’t we sit? It’s always best to be comfortable when talking.”Alec just nods at him a little dazed and let’s Magnus sit them down on the bed.

Essentially a continuation in place of the fade to black in the episode. Magnus slows things down a bit and he and Alec sit and talk. And Alec and Magnus both come to a deeper understanding about what they mean to each other and sex means for them together as a couple.
