Summary:


“Alec Lightwood? That boy puts family and duty before anything else. But he’s smart, Magnus. Very smart. And your succession is not as yet secure. You could do with someone very smart on your side. And someone whose brother is in the Palace Guard.”

“I can’t help but feel they’d be more on our side if we hadn’t just ordered them into servitude,” he retorted and turned back to the Lightwoods only to find Alec standing not two feet away.

“My lord,” he said and bowed.
 
Two years ago, Magus returned to his father’s kingdom to find his old friend – well, possibly more than a friend – Alec Lightwood pressed into service in his household. In those two years, Magnus has fallen deeper and deeper for him, but can’t break through Alec’s walls of propriety.

Now, in the run up to the Seelie Queen’s visit, more and more is happening within the court that could push Alec out of his grasp forever, from potential arranged marriages to his own father wanting to steal Alec to his own bed. And Alec still has no idea what a simple touch from him can do to Magnus – but is about to find out.

Summary:


After Alec comes out to his family, Jace drags Alec to an LGBT friendly strip club so he can ‘expand his horizons’ since he hasn’t even attempted to date or meet anybody new. Alec reluctantly agrees only because he’s grateful Jace is so supportive. While there, his eyes land on an intoxicating man whose body moves so fluidly Alec can’t keep his eyes off of him. Once Magnus is alone with him, he, too, finds himself enraptured by the younger man.

Summary:

After decades of war, when it becomes clear that it is only a matter of time before Edom emerges victorious, King Asmodeus agrees to bury the hatchet with Idris – for a price.

Alec, once heir to the throne of Idris, comes to Edom knowing that he’s no better than a prisoner-of-war. Magnus, who wants nothing to do with his father’s power plays and politics, is furious that his father has saddled him with an arranged political marriage.

But the peace they have bought for both kingdoms is a fragile one, and with luck, maybe this arrangement will only be temporary.

And that’s a good thing – right?

Warlock Mark Reveal

 

Summary:

Alec’s deflect rune emits a golden sheen, like a lighthouse calling fishing boats home. Alec covers it with his hand, but light seeps through the cracks in his fingers, and then it dawns on him.

Magnus releases another energy blast that narrowly misses Alec’s head. Magnus jerks his hand back and stares at Alec, his eyes wild and fearful — almost vulnerable. Alec hates that look. He hates that the High Warlock of Brooklyn is looking at him like a lifeline.

“No,” Alec exhales. “Fuck no.”

Magnus holds his hands up in surrender and takes a step towards Alec. “It’ll be okay. Let’s talk about this.”

Alec backs away until he feels the hard press of the wall against his back. He fumbles around for the doorknob and swings the door open.

“Wait, please!” Magnus calls.

Alec slams the door on his way out.

A soulmate au where you lose control of your magic from the moment you meet your soulmate until your first kiss.

Or Magnus convinced himself that he’s content without a soulmate, and Alec never imagined he would have a soulmate, let alone that his soulmate would be a downworlder.

Summary:

Nearly to the bed, they’d stopped to kiss with a decadent purpose that, if you asked Magnus, fit this ill-gotten hour. It was the pilfered fruit that tasted the sweetest, after all.

Magnus and Alec steal an afternoon for themselves. (Or, “Is it really an OTP until you’ve written them fucking against a wall?”)

Summary:

Upholding law and order in gold-mining town Nephilim Falls, population 1,700 souls, is the responsibility of Sheriff Alec Lightwood. As it is, Alec already has his hands full with the saloons and whorehouses making tempers rise and the men rowdy when the day’s mining goes badly, and the constant threat of bandits in the hills. The last thing he needs is some no-count gambler setting up a gambling hall in his town. And what kind of name is ‘Magnus Bane’, anyway?

Summary:

Alec couldn’t remember the last time the Lightwood mansion had been so spirited. Even when their parents were away on business, the Lightwoods often had guests staying at the mansion, although it usually wasn’t for longer than for a night of festivities in the peak of the summer. Apparently – or so he had gathered from Isabelle’s fondly annoyed and persistent claims – this guest was special, not only because he wasn’t meant to stay for a single night, and not even because he wasn’t a potential business partner.

“He is a celebrity,” Isabelle told him when he lifted an eyebrow at her, silently leveling her with a dubious look.

The Victorian AU no one asked for, where Magnus and Alec fall in love through chess, poetry and whispers in the night, but nothing is that simple.
