Magnus was convinced there were no words in the world to express his feelings towards Alec. It was a constellation of feelings; gratitude, comfort, reassurance, safety, home. It was all-encompassing, the kind of love Magnus had been looking for his entire life. And here it finally was, after centuries of searching.
And in the midst of all that, there was Alec. Pulling him back to the ground, shifting everything so it made sense again. It was a feeling of comfort he had never experienced before and even though this wasn’t the first time Alec had made him feel that way, it was always this little, startled Oh.
Calling all Shadowhunters fic writers! I need your feedback for Author Appreciation Day 2.0!
Last year, this blog dedicated a single day to show the fandom’s appreciation for our amazing fic writers on National Author’s Day. Numerous readers and fic writers participated by leaving supportive and appreciative messages, which were then shared with the fandom on November 1, 2017.
I am definitely planning on making this an annual event, as I think it helps bring some positivity to the fandom and highlights a portion of our incredible artists who I feel often go underappreciated. This year, I want to do something a bit different and one of my ideas goes far beyond what I did last year. It would take a lot of planning, so I want to know if there’s interest in it first.
If you write any fanfiction for the Shadowhunters fandom – whether it be for Malec, Clace, Sizzy, Saia, Clizzy, Climon, Saphael, Jimon, BrOTPs, character-centric fics, family fics, or something else – please take part in the polls that are currently live on our Twitter account and will remain open until April 7th.
Question #1: Would you feel comfortable providing a mailing address to a private form so something small could be physically sent to you? The information would NEVER be made public. It would only be used for sending you something showing the fandom’s appreciation.
Question #2: Instead of something being physically sent to you, would you prefer that there was an option where the object showing the fandom’s appreciation could be sent as an attachment via email? Again, this address would NEVER be made public.
Continuation of the final scene of 3×02 for SH: The Powers That Be.
Because I’m never fully ready for any malec scene, let alone a Malec-centric episode, to be over. That episode was amazing but all I need is more fluff.
“are you kidding me?” he asks. because how could learning anything new about magnus ever change the feelings he has for this man? “i don’t care about who your father is. i care about who you are.”
She sees it now: the way they look at each other. Mountains moved and hell torn away to break the distance. She’s missed having someone that can promise her eternity in a smile.

With the sun setting over New York, Magnus and Alec stumble through the main door, letting it click shut behind them. With his arm around Magnus’ back, Alec leads him over to the couch, supporting a big part of the warlock’s tired weight. The loft is alight with golden rays of the sun, everything so seemingly peaceful compared to what they had gone through just a couple of hours earlier.
As Catarina and Madzie walked into the party and her eyes settled on Magnus, she found herself thinking that maybe she had underestimated Alec Lightwood’s presence in Magnus’ life.
