Summary:

Alec held up his hand in front of his face, and noted that while his skin was still smooth aside from the scars that had accumulated over the years, Isabelle’s was weathered. She had aged gracefully, but the differences were still obvious. It made Alec feel a little bit sick, like his stomach was twisting- though that may have been due to the alcohol. He had stopped aging decades ago, and it hadn’t even really been a choice. He couldn’t leave Magnus behind, couldn’t watch the light in his eyes dim with each passing day as he grew older. He wanted his husband forever, and that would never change. Even so, he couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that his siblings were growing older, and one day they would be gone.

Summary:

The alliance rune means everything to Magnus. When Alec works the night patrol and Magnus is left alone in their bed, a sudden pulse of elation soothes his wracked soul. Sharing his magic with Alec, who has such a childlike whimsy for sorcery, feels more intimate than any time they spend between silk sheets. Knowing Alexander is safe and always with him — it’s more than Magnus could have ever dreamed of. A bond, something tangible keeping them tethered so they can always find their way back to each other.

When a mission goes awry, and Alec almost perishes at the hands of a unique demon, the others start to notice something’s off about him. He heals too fast, his skin’s devoid of any wrinkles, and he still has the body of a twenty year old. He seemingly hasn’t aged a bit, and neither has Clary. While the gang investigates how to banish the demon back to Edom, they learn more about the alliance rune than they ever thought possible.

Summary:

He was in mourning.

He mourned what he’d lost—his magic, his immortality, and his identity. He also mourned what had never been his—a father who didn’t seek to take from him, an infinite life of love with the man of his dreams, and a place in which he had never known this kind of loss.

“I’m not who I used to be,” Magnus whispered, looking himself in the eye.

Alec POV,

Angst, Death, Established Relationship, Family, Immortality Issue

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.

(the beginnings of an idea lead alec to seek out cat’s advice)

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:

Magnus pulled the box from the shelf, in perfect condition despite its age. Magnus went to extreme lengths to keep this box safe, even equipping it with its own set of wards. For if he were ever to lose it’s contents, well, he wasn’t sure what he would do with himself. What seemed like his entire life was contained within the walls of this box, when in reality, it had been just less than a century.

Magnus looks through the box of Alec’s things, long after he’s gone.
