‘You are…everything,’ Alec confesses. It’s nowhere near the truth, though, because everything implies there is a limit to what he feels for Magnus, and Alec knows he’s merely scratched the surface of who Magnus will become to him.

Summary:

“Help me. I need your strength.”

Words uttered in desperation to the beautiful but troubled young Shadowhunter that had suddenly appeared by his side, who would probably never understand the gravity of what Magnus was asking from him.

But maybe this time would be different. For once Alexander Lightwood said “take what you need” and offered up his hand, his deep gaze seemed to tell him that he understood exactly the cost for Magnus would be.

—-

A warlock loves intensely, shattering themselves over and over again. Until they can find someone who will make them whole again. Magnus somehow knew, it was always going to be him.

Despite Magnus’ complaints about not being able to cook often, one of Alec’s favorite things was that they did manage to have regular, proper meals together. Irregular hours, of course, between Shadowhunter business and Magnus’ clients, and it was often takeout, but they had regular meals, nonetheless. Quiet times, just like this, the moon casting light through the windows, one of Magnus’ records playing softly, the smell of warm meats and breads and vegetables. When Alec had fallen in love with Magnus, he hadn’t realized he’d also be getting a home and a life to fall in love with too.

Summary:

“Jace’s opinion is important to you, Alexander. What if my roast beef is dry and he thinks I can’t provide for you?”

Alec hears those voices every day. Not just in his head, but in the Institute, in places like Pandemonium. When Alec fails, it’s not a secret. It’s a publicized disgrace. And Alec can’t let it get to him, and so he doesn’t. If he let other people convince him that he’s not worth the space he takes up, that he’s not worth a second and third chance, then he wouldn’t be able to find his way back.

Summary:

Alec is fairly popular, he has his friends and his brother and sister, and no one seems to mind that he doesn’t talk that much. He’s not exactly shy, he’s just awkward and gets nervous around strangers.

Magnus is a senior, a year above Alec, and he’s quite possibly the most beautiful person Alec has ever laid eyes upon. The problem isn’t that he’s a year older, however. It’s that he has a girlfriend.

And, of course, if Alec ever was to start a conversation with Magnus, he’d probably trip over his own feet, stumble over his words, and faceplant into the ground … or something.

The embarrassment just isn’t worth it. Or is it?

I’ve lived for centuries, Alexander. I didn’t believe it was worth it, all the pain, love and heartache that came along with the years, to try again. Until now. You’ve challenged me and surprised me. More importantly, you’ve seen me. And chosen to continue to do so. Thank you for that.
