Summary:

A pacifist raised in a warrior culture, Aleksander has been the subject of his father’s ire since he was old enough to spurn the sword. But after years of scorn and abuse, Alek finally gathers the courage to do what he’s always wanted: leave. Equipped with information that could mean the salvation of an entire culture, Alek sets out to find the dreki – a race of magic-weilding shifters – and warn them of his father’s quest to eradicate their kind.
Magnus Bane, celebrated leader of the dreki, has given up everything in order to help his people. When he accepted the mantle of Drakkson, he did so knowing that life’s ordinary pleasures were forbidden to him. Magnus was happy to make the sacrifice and has never regretted that choice – until he meets Alek. Beautiful, brave, and shockingly innocent, he’s everything that Magnus didn’t know he wanted and the one thing that he can’t have.
Thrown together out of necessity, Magnus and Alek quickly move from open hostility to begrudging respect. But with war looming on the horizon and the dreki council breathing down their necks, forging a way forward together is impossible – unless both men are willing to turn their backs on everything they believe in.

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?

Summary:

Alec loves his job. He’s been touring since he was sixteen. He’s stayed in dozens of countries over the years, learned enough of their languages to get a beer in his hand and a man in his bed. The road is as much his home as the townhouse on the Upper West Side. He’s as comfortable in cheap hotel rooms with scratchy linens and glaring lights as he is in his penthouse that overlooks Central Park with its silk sheets and the constant hum of the city that never sleeps.

Alec works hard and that hard work has paid off. He just finished his latest sold-out world tour and by all rights, he should be on top of the world. But the mental pressure of celebrity is getting to Alec and he doesn’t trust his footing. He’s stuck where most people would kill to be and he just wants to know what his next move should be.

Enter Magnus Bane. A history professor at Columbia University, Magnus is content with his friends, his classes, and the occasional warm body in his bed. But he’s been feeling stagnant, looking for the next chapter in his life to begin. If only he knew what Alec would bring his way.

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.

Summary:

The year is 1894, and queer culture is quietly thriving in London and across Europe. Magnus Bane, an important and highly intelligent diplomat from Batavia, is nervous and thrilled to have been selected to negotiate greater freedoms for the people of his home country. Alec Lightwood is the eldest son of the Foreign Secretary, a dedicated student at Oxford University, and is writing his dissertation on international relations between the Dutch East Indies and the surrounding countries.

They’ll have a lot to talk about when they meet in a society gala at the Houses of Parliament. Magnus has spent his life focussing on honing his mind so he can ignore his heart, and when that mind is met with the mind of Alexander Lightwood’s, his heart cannot stay silent any longer. Alec has spent the better part of his youth exploring his identity as an openly queer man in the microcosm of his college, and refuses to accept that Magnus, a successful diplomat, can’t have his cake and eat it too.

Or: A mundane!Malec AU set in 1890s England and Amsterdam.

Summary:

The thing is, he was seeing someone. Not in the sense that would make his sister grin but in the sense that he was quite literally seeing this man, but he was sure that the man was not real. And even if he was, he was never truly where Alec was but in his mind. He was seeing a man that was never actually there.

or. a Star Wars AU where Magnus is a Jedi and Alec is a Pilot for the Resistance. They’re complete strangers on the different sides of the Galaxy. Until a connection begins.
