Summary:

Magnus and Alec take the long way home, but get there in the end.

Or, Renaissance geniuses, night rain, hand-kissing, duty and love, the Brooklyn Bridge, quiet revolution, and Alec giving Magnus everything he deserves.

Victory looks good on Magnus, is the thing. The neon lights of the streets are reflected on his jewelry and the glitter he’s wearing on his skin, painting him in bright pinks and blues, like a galaxy is mirrored on his skin.

Summary:

At some point, Magnus and Alec have to talk. It’s just, Alec doesn’t quite know how.

“I’m nervous,” Magnus admitted eventually. Alec reached down and found his hands and squeezed them.

“I’m not.” He waited until Magnus looked at him again, and shook his head. “I’m not nervous, Magnus. Not about us. Never about us.”

The look on Magnus’ face was almost awestruck, his dark eyes contemplating Alec’s until he shook his head, brushing Alec’s hair off his forehead.

“You’re so sure,” he marveled. “So sure. And it’s not like I’m not sure, about us, about you, don’t get me wrong, but. I sometimes can’t believe you’re this sure about me.”

It hadn’t been bravery that let Magnus fall in love with this beautiful, beautiful boy with the heart of a lion and the grace of what an angel is supposed to be. It had been nothing short of divinity. Something out of his control. The universe finally saying, here – here’s someone who will do right by you, who will stand by you.

Summary:

Magnus’ bed hasn’t felt like his own without Alec in it. His body hasn’t felt the same without Alec’s warmth pressed up against it. From the second Alec takes his hand, Magnus doesn’t waste any time fixing either of those things. [Coda to 2×20]

When Magnus asks, “Do you want to get out of here?” it really, truly isn’t his intention to imply anything. He doesn’t even know what he expects. To finally pull Alec back into the loft, maybe. Sit on the sofa, conjure up another drink. Maybe rest his hand on the steady, reassuring beat of Alec’s heart and lean in to kiss his waiting lips.
