#A year of Malec

[ayearofmalec]

Welcome to A Year Of Malec,

This is a year long event for all you other Malec lovers! Since there are so many wonderful fanfictions written by brilliant authors, we wanted to share the fantastic works with you - FOR A WHOLE YEAR!

So this is how it works: Every day for a year, we are going to post a Malec fanfiction rec. THAT'S 365 MALEC FANFICS! And because we don't want to loose ourselves in so many awesome stories, we sorted them into monthly themes.

For the month of January, we're looking at Malec as parents and there are so many amazing stories that capture their love for each other and their children.

Our first recommendation is "New Starts" by aurora_chiroptera!

Rating: Mature

Summary:

Even with the Institutes closed following the Revised Accords 15 years ago, Magnus still found he had to deal with the Clave more than he liked. But when Alexander Lightwood shows up at his door in need of a place to lay low and work on starting a new life, he finds little reason to say no.

In a world where the Downworld rebelled and won, Magnus is High Warlock of NYC and Alec was his contact within Idris to smuggle out captured downworlders. But when Alec needs to flee the Clave, Magnus finds himself with three unexpected roommates. Luckily, the kids seem to get along.

Or, I made an AU just to write a fic that is 90% single parent fluff and 10% to say Fuck the Clave.

If you enjoy the story, you should definitely let the author know by leaving kudos or a comment.

We hope you decide to join us for the ride!

Your AYOM-Team, @springlily25 and @lifeofpatterns

P.S.: If you have any good Malec as parents recs or ideas for future themes, feel free to put them in our ask box - thanks!

i miss the malec fic page u and @lifeofpatterns created?

Hi! I called @lifeofpatterns when I saw this ask because I was so shocked that there were still people curious about what happened to that Paige. It was just a fun little project, mainly her idea, to keep our favorite fandom alive because we realized that less people were posting in it.

A few things led to the lack of updates from the account. That summer, I had just started a new internship that took up a lot of time, and my lovely partner was finishing up her bachelors thesis. By the time all of that was over, we let so many posts go unposted that it was just kind of overwhelming for us to start again. But also, we are absolutely horrible at finishing long-term projects even the ones we are having fun with. You should see the long list of ideas that have been started by us on three hour phone calls and long voice message chains that have not seen the light of day.

That being said, the account will still always be up there for those of you who are looking for a little slice of Malec. We appreciate the occasional notification that someone has liked or reblogged one of the posts, or when an author finds their story on the page. Though we will most likely not revisit posting on this account, we hope that you all enjoy it for what it is, a way to appreciate all the wonderful authors in a fandom that brought us so much.  We had such a fun time getting to share some of our favorites with all of you and getting to support our authors who keep this fandom going. And we hope all of you did too.

With love,

Lily, part of your a year of Malec team

PS: Though we may not be posting anymore fic recs, we are always accepting them so please feel free to let us know what you’re reading! Our love for this fandom has not and will not end just because we stopped posting :-) and you all had some great recommendations!

My brain is on a nostalgia trip right now and next on my list are these two 🥺🥺

Low-key the actual loves of my life. The cutest beans and their story had me in a choke hold for so long

Me rewatching Shadowhunters for the 1828393030 time just for them?? More likely than you think🙃

Mundane!Malec neighbors AU

Mundane AU, where there is a bit of an age-gap between Alec and Izzy, maybe about 10 years, and 25 year old Alec has custody over his teenage sister.

And for most of her life, Izzy was a bit of a tomboy, and Alec was just fine with that. But now suddenly she wants to try girly clothes and make-up, and gets frustrated when she doesn't get things right following a youtube tutorial about applying shades of mascara? lipstick? something that goes on the face, Alec is almost sure! Now Alec does not want to see his sister upset, but he has no clue about make-up and color coordination and shades and stuff, either. HOWEVER, his pretty neighbor, who is stylish and pretty and uses make-up and is pretty , has all the experience that Izzy could need! So now all Alec has to do is go over, knock on the door, and ask Magnus Bane to please help his sister get ready for this party that all her friends are going to because she will die if she doesn't show up looking her best. DIE, Alec!

Imagine listening to a love song and only fictional characters/fictional couples come to your mind. That's the final stage of being completely crazy obsessed with people that don't exist. (Embrase it).

Malec as Universe/Time Travelers #13

Today, we have "Time Loop" by theonetruenorth for you.

Rating: Mature

Summary:

Alec is done.

“You win,” he whispers as he sits down, his back against the wall of the crypt. He rubs his fingers together, trying to brush away the ash that covers them. He looks at the podium and the orb resting on it. Alec finds it hard to believe that such small thing can be the cause of such great grief.

“I’ve tried everything.” Alec looks down at his hands and in the past he would have cried, but he is already out of tears. They are all used up by now. “So you win.”

Happy reading!

I’ve been doing this fandom thing for a long fucking time, and I will say: I do not give a fuck what is canon I will ship what I want always and forever. But I just gotta say. There is something so DELICIOUS. About the creator of the thing you like just straight up being like “yeah obviously he has feelings for him”

I can’t think of another hyperfixation where I have ever been so vindicated

Anyways I know this is not the first time he’s done this but everybody say thank you Liam

[idk-i-just-really-like-tsc]

oh my GOD i miss magnus and alec so much… haven’t heard from them in so long cassie PLEASE malec content in 2024

[margareturtle]

The Bane Chronicles are so underrated

I think it’s bc the first few stories are Pre TID and so we don’t get to see as many favs

BUT STILL

What Really Happened in Peru — Magnus & Ragnor in Peru ICONIC. Magnus not really knowing what to do with his life REAL

The Runaway Queen — MARIE ANTOINETTE + MAGNUS ARE YOU KIDDING ME !! The hot air balloon. The vampires. I have no choice but to stan.

Vampires, Scones, & Edmund Herondale — early days of Camille. Shadowhunters being icky as usual. Will’s parents <3 Edmund left the shadowhunters for her 😫😫 (imagine if Jace lost his runes 💔💔)

The Midnight Heir — JAMES AND GRACE IN THE MIDNIGHT HEIR >>> I WILL MOURN YOU ALWAYSSS 😫😫

The Rise of the Hotel Dumort — the vibes. Just the vibes !! 1920’s NYC. Speakeasies. Camille & the vamps.

Saving Raphael Santiago — RAPHAEL MY BBG <33

The Fall of the Hotel Dumort — more RAPHAEL !! Plus a super old crazy warlock !! Magnus is so done lmaoo and the drama hasn’t even started

What to Get a Shadowhunter Who has Everything — Elyaas my bestie it’s been a while lmaoo also Ragnor + Catarina my besties. Alec’s bday !!

The Last Stand of the New York Institute — Followed by a flashaback of Magnus to a pregnant Maryse “i have no interest in the world you want or your doubtless repellent brat” LMAOO COMEDIC GOLD (Also seeing circle dynamics with Luke & Valentine, + Robert & Michael !! ) + Tessa & Magnus being besties ft baby clary

The Course of True Love (and first dates) — Malec first date <33

The voicemail of Magnus Bane — don’t do this to the cats Magnus !! Church and Chairman are in love 🥹😭
