Summary:


“Alec Lightwood? That boy puts family and duty before anything else. But he’s smart, Magnus. Very smart. And your succession is not as yet secure. You could do with someone very smart on your side. And someone whose brother is in the Palace Guard.”

“I can’t help but feel they’d be more on our side if we hadn’t just ordered them into servitude,” he retorted and turned back to the Lightwoods only to find Alec standing not two feet away.

“My lord,” he said and bowed.
 
Two years ago, Magus returned to his father’s kingdom to find his old friend – well, possibly more than a friend – Alec Lightwood pressed into service in his household. In those two years, Magnus has fallen deeper and deeper for him, but can’t break through Alec’s walls of propriety.

Now, in the run up to the Seelie Queen’s visit, more and more is happening within the court that could push Alec out of his grasp forever, from potential arranged marriages to his own father wanting to steal Alec to his own bed. And Alec still has no idea what a simple touch from him can do to Magnus – but is about to find out.

Summary:


After Alec comes out to his family, Jace drags Alec to an LGBT friendly strip club so he can ‘expand his horizons’ since he hasn’t even attempted to date or meet anybody new. Alec reluctantly agrees only because he’s grateful Jace is so supportive. While there, his eyes land on an intoxicating man whose body moves so fluidly Alec can’t keep his eyes off of him. Once Magnus is alone with him, he, too, finds himself enraptured by the younger man.

Summary:


It’s Christmas Eve, but instead of being home with his siblings watching cheesy television and eating pizza, Alec Lightwood is stuck in a small town in the middle of nowhere because of a snow storm. Worse, he’s going to have to share a room at an over-priced B&B with his sister’s annoying boss, Magnus Bane. They’ll be lucky if this Christmas doesn’t end in bloodshed.

Summary:


A pacifist raised in a warrior culture, Aleksander has been the subject of his father’s ire since he was old enough to spurn the sword. But after years of scorn and abuse, Alek finally gathers the courage to do what he’s always wanted: leave. Equipped with information that could mean the salvation of an entire culture, Alek sets out to find the dreki – a race of magic-weilding shifters – and warn them of his father’s quest to eradicate their kind.

Magnus Bane, celebrated leader of the dreki, has given up everything in order to help his people. When he accepted the mantle of Drakkson, he did so knowing that life’s ordinary pleasures were forbidden to him. Magnus was happy to make the sacrifice and has never regretted that choice – until he meets Alek. Beautiful, brave, and shockingly innocent, he’s everything that Magnus didn’t know he wanted and the one thing that he can’t have.

Thrown together out of necessity, Magnus and Alek quickly move from open hostility to begrudging respect. But with war looming on the horizon and the dreki council breathing down their necks, forging a way forward together is impossible – unless both men are willing to turn their backs on everything they believe in.

Summary:

Nearly to the bed, they’d stopped to kiss with a decadent purpose that, if you asked Magnus, fit this ill-gotten hour. It was the pilfered fruit that tasted the sweetest, after all.

Magnus and Alec steal an afternoon for themselves. (Or, “Is it really an OTP until you’ve written them fucking against a wall?”)

Summary:

“I’m so sorry to bother you, but would you be so kind as to kiss me?”

“Excuse me?” Alec turned from the bar – his whiskey glass hovering in the air and frozen halfway to his mouth – only to become immediately trapped in scintillating, deep amber eyes, locking onto him with a force that seemed altogether too intimate already.


For a chance meeting with a stranger at a bar, it sure does feel familiar….
Let’s be strangers for the night, darling.
