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.

Summary:

Alec thinks he knows which memento Magnus will keep when he dies. Magnus makes it clear that he doesn’t.

(aka Shadowhunters 3×06 Malec Sneak Peek Reaction Fic)

He knows he could die on a mission just as likely as he could before he met Magnus, but his life’s purpose isn’t just serving the Angel anymore. Magnus and what they have is what keeps him going, the person he’s become in the past few months doesn’t want to live just to die an honourable death.

Summary:

The box of mementos gave him a firm reality check, and now he can’t stop picturing his hair graying and his skin wrinkling, his body growing weaker, him dying.

But what if I didn’t?

It’s a thought that stops him dead in his tracks as he paces around his office. It’s ridiculous, crazy, but it lights a spark inside Alec’s heart.

(the beginnings of an idea lead alec to seek out cat’s advice)

Summary:

Three conversations that could have happened after Episode 3×05 Stronger Than Heaven, all based around these lines:

“Yes, there will be life after you. If I’m not killed by something or someone, I will go on living. That’s a certainty. It doesn’t make me happy about it. And it doesn’t make our life together any less.”
