Summary:


Izzy poked him in the rib. “C’mon, show us some tricks.”

“Ha-ha,” said Alec, pushing backwards on his skates. “Do you want to see the one where I fall on my ass, or the one where I crash into the side of the rink?”

“Hmm,” hummed Izzy, easily gliding along with him. Max stomped awkwardly on the ice next to her, his hand tightly clasped around her wrist for support. “How about the one where a dashing young man sweeps you off your feet?”

Alec frowned. “What–”

“Look out!”

Alec felt a body collide with his own for the second time of the evening, nearly knocking him off his feet. He staggered under the weight of a full grown man, hands instantly reaching to his assailant’s waist to steady the both of them. When neither of them went toppling down he let out a relieved sigh, breath white in the frigid air. He looked up to meet an inquisitive pair of brown eyes set into one of the most attractive faces Alec had ever seen. He nearly dropped the man.

Summary:

Alec was running through his options when he opened his eyes, trying to survey how much he had jotted down before he had drifted off to sleep. He sat up straight in his chair when he saw a full page of notes.

His own chicken scratch was at the top of the page in black pen, maybe one or two lines written down. The rest of the page was filled with purple ink and beautiful cursive writing depicting what Alec assumed to be the rest of the lecture.

Or Alec falls asleep in class and when he wakes up, someone has left a note for him

It’s his senior year of college, and Alec Lightwood needs money.

There’s just one problem.

As the study goes on and they grow closer, Alec might be starting to fall for him for real.

But it can’t happen. Because Magnus isn’t his soulmate.

Summary:

The year is 1894, and queer culture is quietly thriving in London and across Europe. Magnus Bane, an important and highly intelligent diplomat from Batavia, is nervous and thrilled to have been selected to negotiate greater freedoms for the people of his home country. Alec Lightwood is the eldest son of the Foreign Secretary, a dedicated student at Oxford University, and is writing his dissertation on international relations between the Dutch East Indies and the surrounding countries.

They’ll have a lot to talk about when they meet in a society gala at the Houses of Parliament. Magnus has spent his life focussing on honing his mind so he can ignore his heart, and when that mind is met with the mind of Alexander Lightwood’s, his heart cannot stay silent any longer. Alec has spent the better part of his youth exploring his identity as an openly queer man in the microcosm of his college, and refuses to accept that Magnus, a successful diplomat, can’t have his cake and eat it too.

Or: A mundane!Malec AU set in 1890s England and Amsterdam.
