Summary:

Isabelle leaned against the doorframe. “Any progress?”

Magnus looked around at the notes spread around him. “As dear old Thomas used to say, I’ve found 10,000 ways that won’t work, so we’ll call it a productive day.”

Magnus Bane has dedicated his immortal life to science, new inventions and discovering everything magic can do. After years of hard work, he is so, so close to revolutionising transportation by creating a magical portal that actually works, but he has let his work take over his whole life. However, when Isabelle, his mundane assistant researcher, brings around her brother Alec, Magnus’s obsessive focus wavers for the first time in a decade. Maybe giving himself a few breaks will actually help him figure out the magical theory behind portals.

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:

Magnus reaches up a hand and holds Alec’s wrist, breaths steady and long, fingers pressed to the veins in his wrist. Alec stills, cupping Magnus’ neck and feeling the pulse thud there. He thinks about twin hearts and eternity, the way that some souls must be drawn together by fate or the hand of some God or possibly their own determination.

Or, Alec’s love for Magnus in three parts.

Summary:

Magnus leans up for a quick peck, they share a smile, and Alec watches him walk away. It’s only when Magnus has rounded the corner and is out of sight that Alec tries to tune back in to the demon hunting discussion, which turns out to be harder than expected, because it’s fallen silent. All eyes are on him.

“You guys are so cute,” Izzy says – coos, really.

“Yeah, honey sweetie pie!” Jace chimes in. “So sweet.”

Or: 5 times Magnus uses terms of endearment for Alec + 1 time it’s the other way around

Summary:

Even from across the crowded restaurant, the unrestrained sound of her oldest son’s laughter rang crystal clear. She scanned the room and spotted him sitting at a small, private table in the back. He was accompanied by a man Maryse had become increasingly familiar with during the last year.

Maryse reached into her pocketbook and drew out her stele to discreetly activate her heightened hearing rune.

“What?” Alec asked, voice light as he settled down from the laughing spell.

“I can’t take you anywhere without you making a mess,” Magnus teased, “You got aioli on your nose.”

As one relationship comes to an end, another begins to blossom for Maryse. While out on a date with Luke, Maryse finds herself in the same restaurant as Magnus and Alec. She takes the opportunity to observe her son’s softer side and comes to an important realization.
