Summary:

Ironic. That the thing Magnus feared the most was also what Alec had been afraid of. What he’d always somewhat known, in that little part of his mind that he tried so hard to silence. The voice that being with Magnus had almost silenced. That he, Alexander Lightwood, was both too much and not enough for the person he loved.

Too much: too demanding, too needy, to inexperienced, too apt to making mistakes, too draining, too useless.

Not enough: not good enough, at being a boyfriend, at being a leader, at being an ally. Not strong enough for Magnus to want to lean on, not open enough for Magnus to want to pour himself into. The little bit he had – which was everything he had – wasn’t enough to keep them together, wasn’t worth the effort.

He wasn’t worth the effort.

Summary:

Every so often, Magnus breaks out his tarot cards and does a reading for Alec. A series of codas set after 1×06, 2×07, 2×15, and 2×20 (and one more in an undetermined future).
–

“Tarot cards,” says Alec, unimpressed. He frowns at the worn, faded deck that Magnus places on the table. “Do you really believe this stuff? That it can tell your future?”

“This craft is less about divining the future and more about… getting perspective on the present,” corrects Magnus. “Would it really be too much trouble to indulge your newest – and by my guess, only – warlock friend in a harmless hobby?”

Summary:

Magnus gets tangled up in a spell that has everything he touches, living or not, turn to gold. Thankfully, the key to breaking any fairy curse is true love’s kiss. Alec would be the simple solution to this dilemma – except that despite his best efforts he and Magnus are still not together, an uncrossable line drawn on the sand between them.
–

“Is anything different for you now?” Alec asks quietly. “If I tell you again that I’m sorry, if I ask you again to give us a shot, that I really think we can make it work – will that make a difference?”
