Summary:

But that would have to wait until Magnus finished his call, so Alec settled down against the back of the couch and watched his boyfriend move across the loft. He liked this side of Magnus. Dressed to the nines still from their date, talking about goblin spit and sheep guts, while sipping expensive wine.

Or:

Magnus has to interrupt a date to help a young Warlock, and Alec distracts himself with Magnus’ everything.

Magnus braced his hands on the counter in front of him and closed his eyes for a second, taking a deep breath. Just because he was gorgeous and sweet and the Chairman liked him did not mean that Magnus needed to get ahead of himself. Plenty of people were endearingly kind and liked by animals. It shouldn’t be making his heart beat double time in his chest.

Alec and Magnus go on their first date.

EVENTS

Although June was supposed to be a fun month, filled with several events, the cancellation news and #SaveShadowhunters campaign led to a temporary hiatus. But regardless of what happens with the show, rest assured that I’ll be back once we actually get official statements from networks and streaming services. Those events will take place eventually! Thank you for your patience and understanding in the meantime!
