Summary:
The dichotomy of Alec is endlessly fascinating to Magnus. He knows– was confronted once upon a time– that Alec is surly and can be downright brutal, his temper running hot or icy depending on the situation. He can be rude and standoffish and frighteningly cold to whomever hasn’t earned his respect. He’s a consummate professional, a brilliant leader and tactician, but there’s no denying that his boyfriend can be a bit of a dick.
But he’s also soft and soaks affection up like a sponge, physically demonstrative in a way that Magnus could never have predicted.
A typical day in the life of Alec Lightwood.
