Summary:

Magnus pulled the box from the shelf, in perfect condition despite its age. Magnus went to extreme lengths to keep this box safe, even equipping it with its own set of wards. For if he were ever to lose it’s contents, well, he wasn’t sure what he would do with himself. What seemed like his entire life was contained within the walls of this box, when in reality, it had been just less than a century.

Magnus looks through the box of Alec’s things, long after he’s gone.

Summary:

Alec’s entire attention is bent to the box. Before Magnus can decide between umbrage or a gentler opening, Alec says, hushed, “I really wish I could talk to you, sometimes.”

Alec takes the box out again, for a very different purpose. (A distant coda for 3.05.)

Summary:

After Magnus makes the drinks, they move to the balcony, like they do every night. It’s almost as if they are trying to regain control. Perhaps, in the back of their minds, if they follow a practiced and almost mundane routine, there is a higher likelihood of things returning to a sense of normality – if anything, they do it because it feels as though a gate has been opened today leading to a path they both knew was inevitable but had seemingly refused to consider, feigning ignorance until it became too hard to continue.

Or, just after the last Malec scene in 3×05. Neither of them are really all that okay. Ends optimistically!
