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.

Summary:

When Magnus Bane walks into Alec’s third grade classroom, a scowl printed on his face and a permanent chip on his shoulder, Alec has no idea that, one day, this scrawny smart-ass will mean the world to him.

He has even less idea that he’ll mean just as much to Magnus.

In which Magnus and Alec are destined for each other, everyone around them can see it, and sometimes, love is found in the most unexpected places.

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.
