Summary:

Magnus waited patiently for Jace to return to the loft from another late night of patrolling. It was apparently the only way the older man was ever going to be able to corner the stealthy blonde Shadowhunter. After trying for two days to no avail, Magnus decided his best bet would be to just wait. It was inevitable that he’d catch Jace coming and going eventually.

Alec had once been told that he would blow up the very ground he stood on to make things right. If that was true, why did he feel as though the ground below him was disintegrating at the same rapid pace as the relationships he once held dearly.

Summary:

“I would expect no less of you, Alexander.”

“Shouldn’t you?” Alec scoffs. “It’s not like I’ve made a habit of being forgiving or even, I don’t know, gracious about, well, anything.”

“No one can deny you’ve taken some body blows recently.” Magnus’s fingers explore his in the dark, twining and stroking. “Made some incredible adjustments in your life and worldview. A certain shortage of…let us say ‘generosity of spirit’…is understandable. Up to a point.”

“I can’t afford that.” Alec’s eyes burn and he wipes them quickly. “That demon…latched onto something in me. We even spoke about it, when we were briefing before the hunt. We talked about profiling the people in the Institute, coming up with a list of who might be at-risk for a demon that feeds on anger. I should have been the first person we looked at. I should have been quarantined, locked away somewhere I couldn’t–”

“Hindsight is meant to be a learning tool, Alec, not a scourge.”

Summary:

There’s a growl, there’s a bang, there’s the gentle splashing of water, there’s the sound of his own breath, there’s something just out of range that’s whispering something. But he’s not thinking about that.

Basically the events from Jocelyn’s death to the aftermath of Alec’s suicide attempt, but Alec has a psychotic episode throughout.

Summary:

Now Isabelle and Max were probably studying runes together in Izzy’s room, Clary and Jace were off talking about her pure angel blood and what to make of it, and Maryse had retreated to her room to rest before returning to Idris the next morning. Leaving Alec to his thoughts and an abused punching bag.

“You’re a murderer Alec, nothing more”
“Don’t worry, Nobody’s gonna miss you”
“Why are you still here?”
“You let a demon possess you.”
“You’re weak.”
The words Clary had said in his spelled mind rung in his head.

Alec pressed against him. “Hey,” he whispered, before finding Magnus’ mouth briefly. “Can we not… worry about stuff? Just for a while. And go back to worrying later?”

“Is this the Alexander Lightwood way of asking me to fool around? By turning it into something to do in between worrying?”

Magnus grinned at him as Alec pushed at his shoulder in protest, and then Alec shrugged.

“Yeah, kinda.”

Summary:

A rewrite of 2×08 with some wholesome Max Lightwood and Magnus feels. I just really love the idea of Magnus winning over each Lightwood sibling, and Alec just going heart-eyes over how much magnus genuinely like(loves) Max. Also maybe Magnus talking to Alec about his [suicide] attempt and them not getting interrupted like in 2×09.
