Relaxed, clad in muggle clothes with a book in his hand, he didn’t seem like the disciplined teacher who both inspired and infuriated students, nor the dignified pureblood noble his parents had raised him to be. He was just Alec, the kind, awkward young man who had stumbled into Magnus’ life a few years ago, like an answer to a question Magnus hadn’t even thought to ask.

Can you love a person with the sprawling, manifold love a place demands? The kind that makes you want to find every nook and corner, study every mood and mystery. The kind that grows for years, between tile, between stone, and outlasts the brief lives of people.

My runes, just like your magic, did not define me. They gave me power, made me stronger, but they did not shape my heart or my mind. I used to think they did, and I used that as an excuse to be cruel and close-minded. But your heart, Magnus, your soul, they aren’t connected to your magic. They’re still with you, and they’re still as pure as they have been your entire life.

Alec does not know what he is. He is neither the sun nor the moon, long since condemned to watch them from below and want. Caught between two celestial beings who call him into their orbit. His parabatai and his something. His lover? It is this confusion, the fear of the dark, that Alec fails to grasp. It is the familiarity of a bright morning that throws him into panic as the sun disappears behind clouds. So he pleads and begs the moon to help him bring back the new day. The moon, who loves this beautiful world that thinks nothing of itself, acquiesces. If Alec asks, Magnus will always give.
