Summary:  Alec Lightwood always wanted to be a writer but familial pressure sent him into law instead. But he never gave up on his dream and started publishing under a pseudonym, Gideon Day. 

Magnus Bane always wanted to be a writer but the twists and turns of life led him to working at a coffee shop he now owns. But he never gave up on his dream and started publishing under a pseudonym, Augustus Darkhallow. 

Alec loves Magnus. 

Alec hates Augustus. 

Magnus loves Alec. 

Magnus hates Gideon. 

How do you come out and say, “My love, I wrote all those books you hate”? 

Neither of them really knows.

“Mag...Magnus...You need-” Alec cried out a little bit, the room starting to spin around him. He couldn’t lose consciousness, not now, they needed to get Magnus. “Get him!” Alec cried again, sweat dripping from his body, his breathing laboured, and his runes too weak to do anything. It was really bad, Alec knew that, and everyone else knew that too by the panic that was on their faces.  Missions went sideways all the time, but a Ravener demons stinger breaking off in your chest mid-fight was about as bad as Alec had ever had it. It was a miracle that Jace got them out of there and to the institute before it was too late. “Jace...” He gasped, looking to his parabatai as they came into the infirmary. “You have to tell him...I...Love him. Tell him.” There were rumours that Shadowhunters weren’t afraid of anything, but Alec was terrified. He was terrified that even though he was still alive, it was still too late. That he would be taken away from everyone, from Magnus. If he was being honest it felt like he was dying. He couldn’t stop himself from crying out in pain, his body burning as if it was on fire, and the world, the world was starting to fade away around him no matter how determined he was to stay awake until Magnus got there.  Alec was starting to come in and out of consciousness when he thought he saw the portal he was waiting for, but it could have just been his head playing with the lights. “Magnus..” Was all he managed to whimper out, before he slipped into unconsciousness, hoping that the warlock was there, praying it was a portal that caught his eye. @brooklynxmagic

It was getting late by the time Ebony had finished her shift at the diner. Like usual, she took the shortest way home, past the nightclub pandemonium, ignoring all of the wolf whistles and comment that came her way. Men only seemed to have gotten worse through the century and a half that she had been alive, treating women like things instead of people. It was like that when she was a girl but in an entirely different way.  Turning the corner one of the men that had been leaning against one of the walls grabbed her, throwing her up against the brick causing her to scream. She kicked him in the groin but to no avail, the only thing that happened was a human face turned into a monstrous one. Her hands sparked and as she lost control of her magic her glamour dropped. Brown eyes turning pitch black showing that she was terrified.  With a swipe of her hand the thing went flying and with another rather uncontrolled burst of her magic, the thing disintegrated. Shaking she sunk down to the floor, tears rolling down her cheeks, her hands still lit with purple flame as her magic roared. She brought her knees to her chest when another figure approached. “Don’t come near me. I might hurt you.” She warned, knowing full well that her magic was taking over her, like it often did when she lost her grips on it. @brooklynxmagic

Warlock KIds

“He come back,” Magnus assured Ace.  Why would he carry Chairman when the cat could just reappear once his feet were firmly on the ground?  Besides, he was happy right now so he didn’t need the comfort his cat provided.  

Some people had security blankets, Magnus conjured magic cats.

Jumping off the branch, Magnus followed his friends through the grass.  It was beautiful, different from the land where he grew up but Magnus thought that was okay.  He’d like Ragnor’s gardens too and this was like that.   Running his hands over the plants, Magnus smiled at the softness of the petals, the rough bark.  

Through the arch, he saw something that looked more like what he was used to and he beamed.  “Pretty!  We play?”  He hurried in, losing himself in the grass for a moment before turning back to his friends.  

“Play now?” he prompted, nodding towards the tree.  Realizing Chairman wasn’t there, he murmured in Indonesian and the cat reappeared on his shoulder.  Pointing where the swing was, he grinned, “Look!  Tree, Chairman!”

xoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

“ Play! Let’s play!” Ace yelled as he ran through the garden, taking high steps to move through the taller grass. The walled in garden was his favorite place to play, and now he had two new friends to play there with!  And sure enough, Chairman came back, which only made Ace even happier. “ Chairman here, we play! Magnus, go swing, hold on I give push, you fly!” For Ace, knowing he had two new friends (before, Sophia had been his only friend) and he got to show them his favorite places to play, this made it a Very Good Day for the young boy. 

As Sophia followed the boys more slowly, stopping to say hello to the trees and plants, something was becoming very apparent to her, which made her sad. Ace and Magnus were going to be better friends than she and Magnus ever would be. They would be friends - good friends, even- but Ace would always be more important to Magnus than her. And she had a feeling it would be this way when they were Adults, too. 

Mai told her than when she Knew Things, she had to work very hard to separate her Feelings from what she Knew. After all, Things Happen as they are supposed to. Just because she was Special and able to Know, it didn’t give her the right to meddle and make it personal. But even with all that, it was still Okay to feel sad and unhappy sometimes - she was just a warlock after all, and warlocks had Feelings. But she had to control what happened when she had Feelings because her magic sometimes Went Not Good when she had sad or angry Feelings. 

So she did that now, going to her main sources of comfort: the trees and the plants. She asked the roses for flowers to decorate her side of the room, and they gave her very beautiful blossoms. After that, the wildflowers let her pluck them to make a crown for herself, so she might be Queen of the Gardens. She even spied the Pesky Rabbit, that Cookie didn’t like as it ate up the vegetables from her kitchen gardens. 

So in all, it was still a Good Day. And those were the best kind.

Guilt

Jace had died. He’d died, and Alec hadn’t been able to do anything to stop it. If anything, he’d been the one who caused it. He hadn’t been careful enough. Hadn’t kept a close enough eye on him and Clary. Because of that, Jace had died. He’d come back somehow, but he’d still died. Alec had felt his rune bleed, felt their bond break…

He hadn’t been able to sleep. So he was in the miscellaneous room, punching at the punching bag he'd put in after a while of living with Magnus. He wasn’t sure how long he’d been there - he was just trying to wear himself out enough for him to maybe get a couple hours of sleep before he had to get up and head back to the Institute. He kept the door closed, keeping as quiet as he could to ensure he didn't wake his boyfirend.

Magnus blinked when he heard Alec speak.  He hadn’t meant to be ignoring Alec.  Far from it as Alec was one of his favorite things to focus on.  But Chairman looked so cute in his costume that Magnus couldn’t help but become distracted.  

“I’m sorry darling.  Forgive me?  It’s just…. isn’t Chairman the cutest little bumble bee you’ve ever seen?”

Alec stared at what had distracted Magnus for so long. Chairman was wearing a costume. A bumblebee costume. Oh the Irony. Alec couldn’t help stiffle a laugh at that.

“The cutest cannibalistic Bumble bee I have ever seen.” Alec laughed, half expectig Magnus to look at him confused. “Given how happily he chases and eats bumble bees - and then proceeds to puke them up in my shoes. I think he thinks I can’t hut food and need it pre-chewed or something. But he is adorable. How did you get him to hold still?”

@brooklynxmagic||CONTINUED

“I suppose SOMETIMES is a key word for you?” Alice quirked a brow, now seated on the fellow warlock’s couch with a bit of a grin. New York’s weather was still odd to her, but the company seemed to make it worth the hassle.

“It’s still in the sixties back home, can you believe that? Sometimes, I feel bad for you East coasters.”

Closed Starter For @brooklynxmagic

When Alec had followed the shout in the woods, he'd expected to come across the scene of some horrible crime. He definitely hadn't expected to come across a guy in some kind of altercation with a… whatever that thing was.

Luke was trying to advise him to at least think before he went charging in, and Alec might have listened, if at that moment the creature hadn't grabbed the guy he'd been chasing. That was when Alec noticed that he was unarmed, and before he could think better of it, he was already marching up to them.

"Excuse me, um, sir," he said, praying that he'd said the right thing. "I'm gonna need you to release that young man you've got there."

Have You Read This? by @astudyinfic / @brooklynxmagic

Pairings: Magnus/Alec, Jace/Simon, Maia/Lydia, Raphael/Ragnor, Luke/Maryse, Clary/Izzy

Rating: Teen and Up

Summary:  What started as a simple book recommendation from his boyfriend quickly spiraled into a book club that grew to include anyone who meant anything to Alec. 

With one exception. 

And Jace really doesn’t appreciate everyone rubbing their sex lives in his face, thank you very much.

Alec had a room in the institute, but it seemed as of late that his bed was replaced by his desk, and his bedroom was now his office. It had been three days since he had left the small area for more than five minutes, consequently, any kind of self care such as eating and sleeping for more than an hour went out the window. Thank the angel for runes that could somewhat keep him functional.  He was trying to please everyone, that is what it boiled down to. Between his parents, the downworlders and the clave, he was being pulled in multiple directions, trying desperately to get back into everyones good graces; especially his parents. Everything he had pulled with Magnus months ago at what was supposed to be his wedding to Lydia put a strain on his relationship with his parents to say the least.  It seemed like the only good thing that had happened was the death of Valentine, which he was still doing paperwork on for the clave, along with sending almost all of their shadowhunters to round up members of the circle that got away. It was never ending. Alec lifted his head off of his desk from one of his quick 45 minute to an hour naps, his phone buzzing with messages from Isabelle, Jace and his significant other. He sighed, running a hand through his hair placing his phone back down. He was too exhausted, all he wanted to do was lay his head back down but instead, he picked his pen back up and forced himself to keep going.  @brooklynxmagic

Continued from here:

Sweat glistened from his body, pooling around a gorgeous set of abs as Alec reached for a nearby towel to try and dry himself off. Still breathing heavily, adrenaline pumping through his veins, and his eyes locked on the warlock as he approached. A few months ago he would have been embarrassed by someone talking about his body like that, but now he smiled and let out a small laugh while shaking his head.

“I’m done training, but I can’t leave the Institute just yet.” Much as he wanted to, Alec was always keenly aware of just what his responsibilities were and those responsibilities had multiplied ever since he came to run the Institute.

“But you’re welcome to shed your shirt and spar with me to pass the time.” Here, his grin widened just slightly and suddenly it was his turn to cock a brow at his boyfriend.

You and I (mer!verse)

France’s waters were getting cold - winter was on its way. It wasn’t bad yet, but that wasn’t a certainty- the waters, like the winds - were unpredictable this time of year. 

Acelin gathered his pod together. They were small in number, only five of them. Two merwomen and three mermen. But they were fast, they were strong, and they were smart. Popping his head to the surface, he took a deep breath, sensing the air. Yes, time to move. 

“Let’s head south, everyone. Stay together - we’re heading to the waters off Morocco. Warm sands to sun on, warm water to swim in, and plenty of fish to eat for everyone.” The rest of the group cheered at that. 

With Ace in the lead, the others formed on his sides in a V formation, and they were off. They swam deep by day, and closer to the surface at night, to take advantage of the warmer surface water. Within a day or so of near-constant swimming, they had found an abandoned cove on a deserted stretch of beach off the coast between Algeria and Morocco. Spain was a day’s swim away.  They could do no better for a winter migration. 

“ This seems perfect,” commented Sophia, who inspected the cove inside and out with her partner and best friend Adri. Adri hummed in agreement. “ It’s closed off, one way in or out, space to hide if needed.” 

Nic and Celeste, the other two members of the group, had gone on a quick exploration trip. When they came back, they also agreed. The mated pair had gone to the surface, and the sun wasn’t too hot, the air wasn’t too dry, there were lots of fish towards the surface and the sand was clean and free of big shells and human litter. 

So the five settled in for the winter.

brooklynxmagic||HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAGNUS”

“Catarina said you liked sweets.”

 Cue the elder of the Lightwoods, attempting to ice a red velvet cake he baked for Magnus while he was away. He managed to figure out the food coloring, attempting a glitter filled galaxy design over the dessert, though Alec was only making a mess of himself.

Not only that, the cake wasn’t quite coming out like he hoped, which was rather upsetting.

“There’s--also wine in the fridge.”
