It’s Christmas Eve, but instead of being home with his siblings watching cheesy television and eating pizza, Alec Lightwood is stuck in a small town in the middle of nowhere because of a snow storm.

Summary:

“We’ll have that out to you in about a half hour,” the man at the pizza place said.

Magnus balanced the phone against his shoulder while gesturing at Catarina to put down the orange silk before she wrinkled it. This project was supposed to be done tomorrow and they were nowhere near ready. If Tessa hadn’t insisted he order a pizza he would have just worked straight through—one does not become the top designer in Brooklyn by stopping for silly things like food and sleep. “Great, thanks, love you.”

“Love you too,” the guy said.  

Magnus hung up and turned back to his work before the words caught up to him. He froze, ears going hot as the sound of his two friends laughing broke his concentration. “Did I just…?”

Alec runs a pizza place in Brooklyn with his siblings. Magnus is an overworked and sleep-deprived fashion designer with too many deadlines. When he accidentally ends his pizza order with “I love you”, everything changes—for both of them.

Summary:

Oh, yes, Alec thinks, I’ve actually married this man. He is still a bit sore from his injuries, and more than a little exhausted, but it’s the good kind of exhaustion. Not the drained feeling he gets after long days at the Institute, no. This is that feeling one gets after they travel to the other side of the world and marry the love of their life. For the second time this week, he could add.

(I promise this is not as angsty as the first part suggests.)

Summary:

“Remember what I said.” Maryse said, looking at Alec. “My generation nearly destroyed everything in our passion to fix it. Yours will have to be wiser.”

Alec nodded.

“Let’s begin.” The Inquisitor said.

Maryse closed her eyes again as the Silent Brothers moved to her sides, their steles at the ready, when the doors flew open.

Stop.

No one messes with Magnus’ family. Not Camille, not Iris, and definitely not the Clave. But dealing with them requires a different approach. Thankfully, Magnus has had many years in which to practice the art of dealing with the Clave.

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.

Summary:

“You’re pushing a lot of people away.” Alec comments.
“What else is new,” Magnus mutters in response.
“Don’t worry. You still have me.” Alec smiles softly at him, and Magnus can feel a physical clench around his heart, but doesn’t show it.
“Well that’s a relief,” Magnus says dryly.
Alec laughs. The sound echoes in Magnus’s ears.
