@bald-dinosaur asked: Hi! I was just wondering if you would help me look for a malec fic I’ve been wanted to read for ages. Its set after Alec comes out and he gets a letter from another shadowhunter who tells him how much that meant for him/her. Thank you so much in advance 🙂 


Hi! I think you might be referring to “A Different Kind of Hero” by heartsdesire456. The rec for this fic will be posted shortly. I hope that helps!

@lightinsidethedark​ asked: Hey; could you rec me some long multi chaptered and completed malec fics? Thank you😊 


Sorry for the delay, but I’ve purposefully neglected delving fully into longer fics because I tend to get caught up in them and I can’t be distracted due to school at the moment. I did quite a bit of research though (which increased the size of my to-read list, so thanks for that!), because I wanted to do your request justice, and this is what I’m currently able to recommend. 

Per your request, all of these fics are over 30,000 words and multi-chaptered. You never specified if you preferred canon universe or alternate universe fics, so I included a bit of both.

For works that have been previously recced and fit this criteria, see: 

There appear to be some really, really incredible fics that are still currently works-in-progress, but I tried to steer clear of them in order to fulfill your criteria. However, these two are fantastic (and the first one is nearly complete). I felt that they are both far too great and original to ignore.

Finally, here is a list of completed fics that fit your criteria: 

The full recs for all of these will be posted within the next few days, but you can use the links provided above, if you so choose, in the meantime. Please be aware that there may be some triggering content. Be sure to read the tags and warnings and take them seriously. Happy reading!

Anonymous asked: Hey can you recommend a few Hogwarts fics with malec? 


After a bit of research, these are the fics that I would recommend. 

The first is a one-shot from Malec Week 2016: 

There is also one chaptered fic that seems to have an interesting foundation. Just be aware that it hasn’t been completed as of yet and I have no way of knowing when (or if) it will be, so read at your own risk:

Finally, there is the Hogwarts Malec series, which you could check out as well:

  1. Something Wicked This Way Comes by Thealmostrhetoricalquestion
  2. Toil and Trouble by Thealmostrhetoricalquestion

These parts are completed, but based on the status of the series there might be other parts to come *crosses fingers.* 

The full recs for all of these will be posted over the next several hours, but you can use the links provided above, if you so choose, in the meantime. Thanks for the ask! Happy reading!

[NOW UPDATED TO INCLUDE LINKS TO POSTED RECS]

Oh man after that last fic I need more hurt magnets with Alec freaking out. Any suggestions?

Based on what I’ve been able to find, unfortunately there aren’t too many injured!Magnus fics – or at least there aren’t on A03. I’ll keep looking, but you could try these in the meantime:

Summary:

Magnus Bane has never been weak. He’s an all-powerful being, capable of great and mind-blowing feats of magic. He doesn’t need to be carried into his own apartment. And yet, here he is, gathered in Alexander’s arms, protesting weakly. Alec doesn’t bother listening to him, going so far as to hum tunelessly to drown out Magnus’s already too quiet words.


If anyone else has any recommendations, please feel free to comment. And thanks for the ask 🙂
