Summary:

“It wasn’t that he was gay. That much she was sure of. It was that she still had her prejudices, as much as she tried to deny it, and Alec had tarnished their reputation by falling in love with Magnus Bane. A warlock. A Downworlder. There was no way they would ever recover.”

Five Times Maryse Lightwood observes Magnus and Alec’s relationship and realizes that maybe what she knows about Magnus Bane is not entirely correct. +1 time that she admits that she was wrong.

Summary:

The stranger in the water had moved aside in time, avoiding the demon’s spray. He was now laying on the sand, flat on his back, arms splayed out like a snow angel. Well, a sand angel, Alec felt, was more appropriate. He could make out warm-brown skin, dark hair and…

And.

A…tail.

A huge, metallic, dark blue and purple, shimmering, unavoidably real, tail.


In which a certain shadowhunter befriends a merman. They may fall in love. Who knows?

Summary:

“I won’t tell,” Max is saying, and Alec is already halfway out of the bed when the child’s voice answers with a small: “Okay.”

There are a few moments of silence, interrupted by the raffling of sheets, and then: “I like the room.”

More silence, and: “It’s just too quiet.”

Alec glances at Magnus, worrying his lower lip between his teeth.

Max says: “You can stay with me,” sleep dragging his words a bit, “Dad and Papa say I’m never quiet.”

Magnus and Alec both snort.

Summary:

“I don’t care if your warlock mark was horns, gills, wings even,” Alec stifled a small chuckle as he saw Magnus smile. “I’d still, I’d still be into you.”

Magnus had ran through every way he could possibly expose his warlock mark to Alec in his head. But he was pretty adamant he wanted to wait for a while before letting his new lover see him in such a vulnerable state. So how did it happen that Magnus was standing in his living room, cat eyes on display, and Alec was only feet away, just days after their first date.

Summary:

Alec Lightwood didn’t swear much (unless he was drunk on a certain warlock’s infamous party cocktails – or just drunk on the warlock himself, really), but his iron control slipped that morning when he spotted his younger brother Max, book clutched to his chest and glasses askew, making his slow but determined way towards Magnus Bane.

Summary:

Alec shakes his head and rubs his palm over the white scar of the faded deflect rune permanently inscribed on the left side of his neck. He wishes he had his stele or his bow or even his sword. Anything would be better than facing an unknown foe nearly weaponless and certainly powerless. He wishes a lot of things. “Keep your head and don’t get cocky, Izzy. We stick together, remember?”

Isabelle nods and stares at the door, weapon hanging loosely from her hand at her side. “You and me against the world, Alec.”


Or, after the Downworlders rise up against the Shadowhunters, the United States is quarantined off. Downworlders capture Shadowhunters and force them to fight in arenas for entertainment. Alec and Isabelle do their best to stay alive in the ring despite everything that has happened in the year since they were captured, but what happens when they try to escape?

Magnus thought that Alec would be repulsed by his cat eyes. In truth, it was the opposite. He found them beautiful.

Summary:

“Magnus can feel himself giving in to it, giving in to loving Alexander. And that’s when it happens. He feels the glamour fade from his eyes, emotions erupting out of him, he can’t get a handle on it.”

My take on how the scene progresses from Magnus’ “Sometimes I lose control” in the Freeform ad to the bed scene in the 2×18 Promo. Originally a comment on a tumblr post from a username I can’t currently remember, so I thought I’d post it here as well.
