The stars are brighter tonight, Alec notes. Maybe it’s because he feel so unabashedly happy with Magnus’ warmth pressed into him, with the way Magnus keeps leaving sloppy kisses against his pulse point, trailing down to his shoulder and his collarbone. Maybe it’s the way their mouths meet and everything becomes a little heated, more demanding, more needy, but it never truly escalates. Maybe it’s the way they push and pull, the dance they know so well by now, until they’re left breathing into each other’s spaces. Maybe the sky is happy for them. And it’s one of those sleepy, late-night thoughts, but it makes something magical bloom in Alec’s chest, right under where Magnus’ hand lies.

Summary:

So now Alec’s confused, because the midday sun is pounding against the bare skin of his back, his feet are burning against the ground, and there’s a very attractive boy in the pool. On an air mattress, of all things. He’s also bare-chested, with abs that might as well attract the sun, his hair pushed up into gentle curls and his eyes closed. He’s floating near the edge, a towel piled near the ladder with a loose-fitting shirt thrown over the bars.
Alec’s gaping, and he really doesn’t mean to be, but dammit—he can’t really stop himself. And then the stranger opens his eyes, and squints at Alec through the light.

‘Are you going to watch me all day, pretty boy?’ He says, and Alec almost collapses where he stands.

(aka: magnus and alec fall for each other over the course of four weeks. this particular summer love involves tennis courts, silk shirts and wine.)

He knows – Raziel, does he know – that Magnus doesn’t need protecting. He’s one of the most powerful warlocks – the most powerful people – in the world. He’s four centuries old. He doesn’t need a Shadowhunter to defend him against the sadistic cruelties of the universe. But Alec wants to anyway.

Summary:

Alec has been told the same stories all his life. He’s been taught the same lines, over and over again. Downworlders are reckless, impulsive, demonic. They’re not to be trusted. And Magnus Bane is the epitome of everything evil about Downworlders. At least, that’s what people keep telling him. Alec’s not quite so sure anymore.

Or: In which the Nephilim have wings, are taught to loathe Downworlders, and Alec is presented with a conundrum when Magnus Bane saves his life.

Then who’s going to protect you, Alec? Tell me. Because for all the love your siblings have for you they’re the ones being protected. You leave yourself open and I have enough memories of you coming close to death to not need any more, thank you very much. I didn’t even want those to begin with! So tell me, Alec. If I leave, who’s going to protect you?
