Summary:

When Magnus has to go away on a business trip to wintery London, Alec makes sure he won’t get cold.
Growing up in the Institute had taught Alec a lot of things. Most importantly, to always have warm clothes at hand as soon as the weather became chilly. The concrete walls of the Institute may be a perfect shield against the heat during summer, but they absorbed every bit of warm air inside as well. So warm clothing during winter it was. For Alec, that didn’t really pose as a problem, he had long gotten used to low temperatures in the Institute.
Magnus, however, was an entirely different story.

Summary:

“I was flattered,” he admitted. “Not enough to seriously consider it though.” He shrugged, watching Magnus carefully, and picked up his own glass again.

Magnus looked up at him then with a sharpened gaze. “Why not?”

“Many things, to be honest. I’d miss too many people. There’s a lot of work to do here still. Part of me wondered if they were offering it to me to get me away from New York.”

“From me.” Magnus’ voice was flat with no inflection and Alec winced. He moved to sit next to Magnus and put his glass down on the table so he could take one of Magnus’ hands, his thumb rubbing at one of his rings.

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.
