Summary:

Alec never meant to actually start crushing on Magnus. Magnus was brave and beautiful and didn’t care what people said about him. He was so unapologetically himself despite how much shit he’d been through with bullies, and Alec admired him, he really did. But he never meant to actually like like him.

Summary:

Fairchild’s bakery is a second home to not just Magnus, but also to most of his found-family. As a pastry chef, he works long hours and takes great pride in his craft – so much so that he has little time or attention for much else. Least of all romance. After plenty of experience with heartbreak and disappointment, he has come to expect the worst from anything in that department, and the arrival of the wealthy Lightwoods in the neighborhood isn’t about to change that. Especially not when their eldest son might just be the most insufferable prick Magnus has ever met, no matter what anyone else has to say about the guy.

(aka the Pride & Prejudice/bakery AU no one asked for)

Summary:

Alec stared at the silver key, slowly turning it over in his hand. It was small, about the size of his little finger, and cold against his skin. It seemed to sparkle in his hand. He wasn’t sure if there was an actual glow to the silver or if it was just his nerves getting the best of him. Then again, if there were a key in the world that sparkled, it would be the key to Magnus Bane’s apartment.

Or, the one where Alec is nervous about using his key to Magnus’ apartment for the first time, and somehow ends up trying to patch up his exasperated not-yet-boyfriend.
