Magnus emotes so powerfully, seems to consume himself with feelings until it burns. Alec doesn’t know how he lives like that, year after decade after century, without losing anything of himself.

There are not enough words, to explain how much of an impact you have had on my life. You’ve done more than just unlock my heart, you’ve healed it, you’ve given me faith in love and in people again – you’ve shown me that I’m not a monster, when all my life, that is all I have been told.

I stand by my decision, because I did believe it to be the right one at the time – however, I recognise that I shouldn’t have pushed you away. I’m sorry. It wasn’t meant to be personal, it was meant to be about survival; how I ever thought I could survive without you, though, I’ll never know.

A voice shouldn’t feel like home, Magnus tells himself, but it does, Alec does. Alec is the home that Magnus has always longed for, the anchor that he’d resigned himself to never knowing.

I don’t expect you to be perfect. I expect you to be you, every part and every shadow and every single thing you don’t like, because that’s – you’ll still be a fucking miracle to me.

You have been consuming my thoughts for days, Alexander. It would be rude for me to not return the favour.

Well, in some ways, yes [it does get better]. You start to know yourself better. You get over heartbreak once, you know you can survive it. You start to recognize the hurt for what it is, and…you endure. But in other ways, it gets much harder. The stories you tell yourself start to wear thin. ‘I’m still young’ stopped comforting me after my first centennial. ‘I’m just intimidating,’ that was another. I told myself I was too open, or maybe too closed off. I did too much for this person, then not enough for this person. None of it worked. None of them worked. And then, at some point, the hurt comes again and you have nothing left to say to yourself, except ‘Maybe I’m not meant to have this.’

Alec Lightwood might kill him, and Magnus had felt that death before. The death of hope; the crumbling, cutting decay of loving someone and realizing they didn’t love him back. Alec had unlocked something in him, and in all the delight and attraction, Magnus had forgotten all the reasons he’d locked himself away in the first place.

Oh, he’d forgotten this feeling. Alec made him feel like he had champagne in his veins, bubbling, light and golden.

Like the way they had kissed the first night, it’s like nothing he’s ever felt before. He feels like he’s drowning in reverse, like Magnus is breathing life into him and suddenly everything is in vivid color. Magnus draws him in like the tide. He’s helpless before it, and it’s the best feeling he’s ever had.
