No lover, no partner, has ever shown this same level of care. It’s something else entirely to find yourself the centre of another person’s world, and for them in turn to be the centre of yours. Magnus can’t quite find the words to describe it, because it’s indescribable, it’s unique, it’s something entirely theirs.

Summary:

Magnus throws a party for Madzie.

He proposed to her, he turned Magnus away at every turn, and he’s the reason they’re both standing at this altar ready to marry for the sake of duty and not love. This is all his fault and he’s about to pay for it for the rest of his life. He thinks he might be ready, might be able to pull this off. He’s just convinced himself of this when Magnus walks through the doors, looking like every dream Alec never allowed himself to have. He looks like hope, happiness, a life where honesty is something Alec doesn’t have to have only with himself. He looks like the promise of love and laughter and a loyalty that doesn’t leave behind an unsettlingly wrong feeling. He’s beautiful.

Summary:

Tonight, Lord Bane looks pensive and Alec can feel in his bones, in his heart, that this marriage proposition might end up in an actual deal instead of failing, like they all have before. His heart and hands clench painfully. The pommel of his sword leaves a deep indent in his palm.

Summary:

At his feet, Chairman Meow cries piteously to be fed, and Magnus shoos him off. Plenty of time for that later – he’s at a delicate juncture of the potion, the slightest movement could spell disaster. The good Chairman will understand. They’ve done this plenty of times before.

He does not, in fact, expect the cat to jump onto his table, upsetting the bottle of dragon’s teeth perched precariously on the edge, flipping one small piece into the bowl. The potion turns a sickly green, it bubbles and smokes. Magnus has one split-second to think, Oh shit.

Side effect: telepathy. It’s not as much fun as Magnus thought it would be.
