Title: I loved your colours (before I loved you) Artist: @calliartssâ Rating: Explicit (Chapter 10 only) Pairings: Magnus Bane/Alec Lightwood, Alec Lightwood & Clary Fray, Clary Fray/Isabelle Lightwood Word Count: ~95k Summary: Magnus Bane is a journalist who's always dreamed of modelling for Lightwood Fashions. When the CEO Alec Lightwood starts looking for new models for their spring collection, he jumps on the occasion.
In the meantime, Alec Lightwood is struggling with the idea of finally announcing his role as co-designer. When Magnus Bane strolls into his life, Alec is torn between keeping his secret or throwing all caution to the wind.
This fic was created for the Malec Discord Mini Bang 2020.
Chapter 1: A change to set you free
Magnus woke up with a start, bleary-eyed and confused.
A cup of coffee lay forgotten in front of him, papers scattered all over his desk, his computer still open and ready to be used. He couldnât remember what he had been doing earlier, except that it had something to do with the ridiculous article Lorenzo had been pushing him to publish all month.
It took him a second longer to realise he was in his work office and not at home. He groaned tiredly, knowing there was no way he could fall asleep here. He would never hear the end of it if one of his colleagues found out. Nightmares, the lot of them. Not for the first time, Magnus wished he didnât desperately need this job.
This job he hated with a passion.
He loved being an editor, he really did. He loved writing and going over articles and occasionally working on a piece when his superiors needed his expertise. He loved working alongside bright people who lived to share information with the world. He loved the fast-paced world of media and the friends he had made thanks to it. He didnât love the company he worked for.
He had loved it, once upon a time, when he had been younger and in love with all the wrong people. He had enjoyed waking up early and walking into the Fade Media building, hand in hand with his then-girlfriend. He had been on his way to getting promoted, and had been the best contender for the Head Editor position. He had the credentials, the experience, the seniority.
Breaking up with Camille had ruined it all for him. His ex-girlfriend had shares in the company and was close friends with the CEO, Malcolm Fade. It was all too easy for her to pressure the man into promoting someone else in Magnusâ place. That had been five years ago.
Five years of working under Lorenzo Rey, an arrogant man who believed he was the best employee the company had ever seen. He wasnât a terrible editor, loathe as Magnus was to admit it, but he was far from a people-person. Magnus couldnât count how many times heâd had to interview people himself, trying to salvage the wreck Lorenzoâs bluntness left in its wake.
He loved working, but he hated the people he worked for. He hated crossing paths with Camille and Malcolm, smirks firmly in place every time they saw him. He hated knowing he would never get the job he wanted and hated not having the strength to leave.
Because as much as Magnus hated this place, he also knew it was his best shot. Fade Media was the second largest media company in the city, and Magnus knew there was no way he would ever be hired by the first. He had preferred settling for second-best instead of risking his entire career. He felt pathetic every time he walked into his subpar office, but at least he was getting paid and had some sort of influence on his co-workers.
Still, on days like these, when Magnus was exhausted and working on something for Lorenzo, he wished he were just a bit more brave.
He packed up his belongings as fast as possible, checking his phone and groaning as he caught a glimpse of the time â past ten, already â as well as five missed calls from Catarina. He had promised his friend he would have dinner with her and Madzie, but he had been tired and stressed and it had completely slipped his mind.
Feeling bad for bailing on his best friend yet again â it was the third time in a month, and he knew even Catarinaâs patience had its limits â he called her back as he walked out of the building, promising himself heâd clean his office after a good nightâs sleep.
âMagnus Bane.â He grimaced at his best friendâs cool tone. Before he could apologise for his absence, Catarina was speaking again. âDonât even try to apologise or make excuses. Madzie was devastated when she realised you were skipping dinner again. Now I have a seven-year-old girl clinging to me in her sleep because she thinks her godfather has forgotten about her. I expect you to make up for this, Magnus, gifts and dinners and everything included.â
Magnus gulped, feeling even worse now than he had a few minutes earlier. He loved Madzie more than anyone in the world, and he hated knowing he had hurt her, no matter how unintentionally. His goddaughter had been abandoned once in her life, and she didnât need to go through that a second time.
âI know you donât want to hear it, but Iâm sorry,â he sighed, shivering as the December air wormed its way underneath his clothes. He should have brought a coat, but he hadnât thought heâd be out so late. âI fell asleep at work again, not that it excuses anything. Iâll make time for Madzie this week-end, I promise. Iâm almost done with this piece and Lorenzo should be leaving me alone for a while after it.â
âFor your sake, I hope youâre telling the truth,â his best friend said sternly, though Magnus could hear the worry lingering in her throat. âBut MagnusâŚâ
âIâm fine,â he muttered before she could get any further than that. âI know you hate hearing about my terrible sleep schedule, but Iâm more than okay. This piece is just harder than I anticipated. Lorenzoâs got expectations bigger than his ego, and thatâs saying something. â
âI canât wait for the day when you finally knock that lizard off his pedestal,â Catarina huffed. Even as tired as he was, Magnus took a second to laugh delightedly at his best friendâs nickname for his boss. If anyone hated Lorenzo more than Magnus did, it was Catarina. She had been looking forward to his promotion almost as much as he had and had despised his replacement from the get-go. âYou know, you could still leave. You donât have to work for that horrible man if you donât want to. Iâm sure Fade will be begging you to come back as soon as he realises youâre the only thing keeping his company together.â
Magnus smiled at the compliment even though he knew it was far from true. Did he believe he was a better reporter and editor than Lorenzo? Yes. Did he think Lorenzo couldnât live without him? No. There were dozens of incredible journalists out there, and he knew all of his colleagues were waiting for him to crack under the pressure and resign. He refused to give them that satisfaction.
âIâll be fine, Cat,â he answered, turning onto his street and sighing contentedly. A few more minutes and he would be in bed, getting the sleep he deserved and desperately needed. âIâm almost home, so Iâll call you later, alright? Are you guys free on Saturday?â
âYou know we are,â Catarina said. Magnus could picture her rolling her eyes as she spoke and an amused smile twitched at his lips. âWeâll figure out the details during our call tomorrow. Donât you dare forget about me again.â
âI wonât,â Magnus promised. âGood night, Cat. I love you, and please tell Madzie I love her too. I wonât disappoint her again.â
âI know you wonât,â Catarina murmured. âI love you too, Magnus, now go get some sleep.â
With that, she hung up, leaving Magnus alone in front of his apartment. He walked inside, sighing at the âout of serviceâ sign still plastered onto the elevator, and resigned himself to having to walk up eight flights of stairs. He loved his penthouse, but the elevator had stopped working over a week ago and his legs were starting to protest the constant trips up and down the building.
By the time he made it to his loft, his whole body was aching and his mind was begging him to get into bed. He threw his bag somewhere near the door, and kicked his shoes off, hoping heâd be able to find them the next day.
He thought about taking a shower, since they usually made him feel better, but the mere idea of having to move more than strictly necessary had his limbs protesting angrily. Instead, he took a few minutes to remove his make-up and splash some water on his face in the hopes that it would keep him awake long enough to go through his nightly routine.
He looked at himself in the mirror briefly, wincing at how grey his skin appeared. He hadnât gotten a proper nightâs sleep in over a month and it showed. He really needed to get his act together if he didnât want his clients and colleagues to start noticing how run down he truly was.
Pulling himself away from his horrifying reflection, he walked back into his bedroom, jumped onto his bed and stretched out lazily. He didnât get enough time surrounded by his silk sheets anymore, but he always relished in the few moments he did get.
He grabbed his phone, determined to scroll through the news and stay on top of things before falling asleep. As an employee of one of the main media companies in the country, he always made sure to be as aware of what was going on in the world as possible. It was extra work he didnât get paid for, but it was worth it when his exclusive writings turned out better than anyone elseâs.
The news was particularly dull this week; nothing exceptional was happening in the country, and the bigger celebrities had been strangely quiet all month. It meant less things for the magazine and website to cover, and more time for Lorenzo to come up with outrageous jobs for his subordinates.
He opened twitter last and immediately noticed the increase in activity. His followers were screaming about something, and Magnus sleepily tried to find the source behind their excitement.
The last thing he saw before he fell asleep was a headline that would undoubtedly make him freak out once he woke up the next morning.
Lightwood Fashions: Open Calls for Spring Collection Models
***
âRaphael Santiago! How dare you forget to mention your bosses were opening auditions for models?â
Magnus only had a few minutes until he had to get to work, but heâd be damned if he didnât take that time to condemn his friendâs lack of forewarning.
Lightwood Fashions was one of the biggest fashion brands in the world, mostly thanks to the incredible work of Clary Fray and her secret partner. The two designers had single-handedly pushed the Lightwood name back to the top of the industry thanks to their superb designs. Magnus himself owned his fair share of Lightwood pieces, specifically from Frayâs collections.
A few years ago, Robert Lightwood had almost caused the downfall of his half of the family company. His divorce with Maryse Lightwood and the accusations of discrimination against his employees had completely ruined his companyâs name. Lightwood Media had stood strong, but Lightwood Fashions had been seconds away from being shut down.
Thankfully, their eldest son had taken control of the company and turned it around. Hiring Fray had been a wonderful business decision, and although Magnus had his doubts about the Lightwood heir and his ability to run a fashion company, he had to admit everything had been going well so far.
So well, in fact, that they were apparently looking to temporarily increase the number of models for their Spring collection photoshoots and shows. Magnus had been dreaming of an opportunity like this one for years, and he had hoped his friend would tell him if one came up.
After all, Raphael was Lightwood Fashionsâ best photographer, and Magnus had it on good authority that he was close to a few of the higher-ups. He had probably been aware this was going to happen for months, and yet hadnât breathed a word of it to Magnus.
âThere is such a thing as professional secrecy, Magnus,â Raphael answered dryly. âAlec mentioned the open calls a while back but I wasnât sure it would actually happen. Even if I had been sure, I wouldnât have told you. Besides, youâre aware of it now, arenât you?â
âYes, but now I only have a week to decide whether or not I want to put myself out there,â Magnus pouted, walking into Fade Media and plastering a fake smile on his face as he spotted Lorenzo Rey in the lobby. âI have to go, but weâll be talking about this as soon as I have a minute to spare.â
He hung up before Raphael could answer, widening his grin and standing next to Lorenzo in front of the elevator. He could only hope the damned machine wouldnât take ten minutes to arrive, because he wasnât sure he could handle that much time alone with his âbossâ.
âMagnus,â the man grinned, looking as smug as ever. He had never said it out loud, but Magnus knew Lorenzo adored being above him in the chain of command. âHow are you doing today? Finally done with that project I assigned you last week?â
âNot quite,â Magnus grit out. Lorenzo knew it would take most people a month to complete what he had asked for, but Magnus was working day and night to make sure he got it done within the week. âIt should be on your desk tonight, tomorrow at the latest.â
The Head Editor tried to hide his shock, but Magnus had spent his life learning how to read people, and he noticed the surprised twitch of Lorenzoâs fingers as he reached for the elevator button. He smirked inwardly, though his face remained an impassive mask. Oh, how he loved getting on this manâs nerves.
âThat was fast,â Lorenzo finally answered. âI hope the quality of your work wonât be impacted by your insistence on rushing it.â
Magnus bristled internally but refused to say anything or show how much the jibe affected him. Lorenzo wanted him to lose his cool, and Magnus lived to make sure the man never got anything he wanted. He smiled instead, stepping into the elevator and glancing down at his phone in an obviously dismissive move.
Lorenzo twitched again, and this time Magnus let his smirk show on his face. If the man thought he would ever win one of their verbal spars, he was dreaming. Magnus was a master of words and human interactions, and he wasnât about to let someone like Lorenzo Rey beat him at his own game.
Satisfied he had bested him once again, Magnus focused on his phone, sending a flurry of messages to Catarina about the damned lizard. Once that was done, he sent off two more angry texts to Raphael, asking for more details about the auditions. Finally, he let himself open his web browser and stare at the Lightwood announcement for the hundredth time that morning.
Apparently, their spring collection was shaping up to be the biggest and best one Fray and her partner had ever created, and they wanted to make sure they had the perfect models to get them through the season. Everyone could audition but only ten models would be chosen at the end of the process.
Some of the spots were already pretty much guaranteed, or at least Lightwood Media seemed to imply they were, since Fray had a few models she always worked with. However, there was still a chance Magnus could be chosen for the project, and his heart fluttered at the thought.
Before he had joined Fade Media as an editor, back when he had still been a college student struggling to find his place in the world, he had applied for a job at Lightwood Fashions. Everyone had always told him he would make a fantastic model, and he had wanted to see if there was any truth to their words.
What he hadnât known at the time was that Robert Lightwood was both homophobic and racist; his application had been doomed from the start. He had taken the blow harder than anticipated and had shoved the idea of ever modelling to the back of his mind. But now⌠Now he knew the reason he hadnât been accepted was most likely because of the colour of his skin and the people he was attracted to rather than his ability to do the job.
Alec Lightwood, on the other hand, was notorious for hiring people no matter their gender, skin colour, sexuality⌠The only thing that mattered to him was skill, and Magnus appreciated that â if nothing else â about him.
However, knowing he had a shot didnât mean he would succeed. He knew Raphael would probably put in a good word for him, and knew he wasnât bad at modelling, but the odds were still so low⌠He sighed and put his phone away, not wanting to make a decision before he had had the chance to speak to anyone about it.
âSomething bothering you, Magnus?â Lorenzo asked. Magnus groaned internally but smiled and shook his head at his boss.
âNothing at all,â he said. âI was just going over the news and thinking about Lightwood Fashionsâ latest stunt. Iâm wondering if thisâll mean an increase in their media departmentâs coverage or if theyâll be contacting fashion-oriented magazines instead. And if they stick to their own company, does this mean weâll have a better chance at focusing on non-fashion related events?â
He was making most of it up on the spot, but Lorenzo didnât need to know that. Heâd rather have the man believe he was strategizing than realise Magnus was thinking about working for their biggest competitor. Thankfully, his boss bought it, gritting his teeth as though he was mad that he hadnât thought about the impact the Lightwood collection might have on their media company.
Honestly, Magnus couldnât care less about any of that, but it made Lorenzo seethe, so heâd count it as a win. The man hated that even after her ex-husbandâs scandal, Maryse Lightwood had managed to keep her company at the top of the media game.
âAn interesting point,â his boss finally answered, smiling unconvincingly. âSomething Iâll have to think about. Anything else you might want to mention before we start the day?â
âNot that I can think of,â Magnus shrugged, walking out of the elevator with one last smirk. âAlthough if you need help or advice, you know Iâm always free for you, Lorenzo.â
He swayed his hips as he walked towards his office. The Fade Media executives may have given Lorenzo the Head Editor position, but everyone knew the best person to go to when they needed help was Magnus. He didnât know whether it made him feel proud of what he had achieved or annoyed at his co-workersâ refusal to put in a good word for him with the higher-ups.
Either way, it meant a higher workload for him and less time to focus on Lorenzoâs demands, let alone his own personal projects. Usually, his colleagues came to see him in the morning, once they realised the work they had done the day before didnât meet their bossâ expectations. So when he walked into his office only to find Lily, one of the newer recruits, waiting for him with an apologetic smile, he wasnât even surprised.
âA problem with your latest interview?â he sighed, thinking back to the projects she had been assigned.
âYes,â she huffed. âAnd of course, Mr. Rey doesnât have the time to hear me out and figure out whatâs wrong with it, soâŚâ
âI understand,â Magnus smiled, throwing his work bag on the floor, and taking out his laptop. As soon as he had stepped into his office, he had shoved all thoughts of Lightwood Fashions, modelling and a better job to the back of his mind, switching to his professional persona seamlessly.
Time to remind everyone of just why he was the best goddamn employee in this entire building.
***
It was almost nine at night when he finally found the time to call Catarina back. He cursed his bad luck and the extremely long day he had had, hoping his best friend would understand. She always forgave him but, every time he messed with her already busy schedule, he felt like he was disappointing her.
âIâm sorry,â he said as soon as his friend picked up the phone. He had just entered his apartment building and was wondering if he had the time to cook dinner himself or if he should just give in and order take-out, as always. âI swear I didnât forget. I just needed to finish this stupid article Lorenzo has been hounding me for, and it took longer than I expected. Heâs been harassing Lily again, even though he knows sheâs new and still trying to get the hang of things, and Iâm honestly two seconds away from murdering him.â
âSomeday youâll no longer have to work for that lizard, and youâll finally be able to live normally,â Catarina sighed. âAnd you have nothing to apologise for; we didnât exactly decide on a time for our call. Just tell me you managed to get this week-end off. Madzie needs to see you again, Magnus.â
âI need to see her too,â Magnus rubbed a hand over his face tiredly. Screw that homemade dinner; he pulled out his laptop and sent out an order to his local pizza place. âAnd I did get this week-end off. Lorenzo didnât look happy about it, but I completed this project faster than anyone else could have so it would have been unprofessional of him to deny me such a simple request. Madzie can have me all to herself on Saturday, I promise.â
âThank god,â his best friend said. Magnus could imagine her smiling on the other side of the phone. He hoped his hard work would make up for their missed dinner dates. âI know I was pissed about you bailing, but Iâm proud of you for never giving up on your job, no matter how shitty your boss is.â
This was the perfect opening. All throughout the day, thoughts of Lightwood Fashions had drifted through his mind. If he got a job there as a model, perhaps they would also consider him for their Media department once his contract was over. That would mean no more petty colleagues trying to bring him down, no more Lorenzo to satisfy, and no more Camille controlling his life from afar.
âI was actually thinking about quitting,â he announced.
Utter silence.
âI know it sounds insane,â he added, not wanting Catarina to think he was going crazy. âIâve been dealing with this for years and thereâs no reason for me to break now, but Iâm so tired, Cat, and I just want to stop feeling like Iâm drowning every time I walk into that building. That place takes a little bit out of me every time I enter it and I donât know how much more I can take. And thereâs⌠Lightwood Fashions opened model auditions for Frayâs spring collection.â
He didnât have to mention how much that job would mean to him, or have to tell Catarina how long he had been dreaming of getting an opportunity like the one he was being presented with. Sheâd heard him rant about Frayâs work ever since the redhead had stepped into the spotlight, and she knew about the heartbreak Robert Lightwoodâs rejection had brought upon him all those years ago.
She knew everything about him, and he didnât think he could go through with this if she thought it was a bad idea. If she told him to stay at his current job and suffer for a while longer, he knew he would do it.
He would do it even if it dragged him down and made his body itch and left him tired and listless and impassive. Catarina was like an older sister to him, and he trusted her implicitly. If she thought modelling for Lightwood Fashions wasnât worth the possible loss of his job, he would forget all about it and shove his dream to the back of his mind.
âOh my god, Magnus! Thatâs amazing!â his best friend exclaimed. âWait a second, doesnât Raphael work for Lightwood? Why didnât he tell us about this? Magnus, this is incredible! With Lightwood Sr. out of the picture, you definitely have a shot! Theyâre going to love you, and youâre finally going to get out of that crappy company.â
Relief flooded his veins. A part of his mind was still screaming at him, telling him this was a terrible idea, that he was too old for this sort of thing, but he didnât care. If Catarina thought this was what he should do, then he wouldnât deny himself the one thing heâd always wanted.
âYou donât think this is a terrible idea?â he asked, just to make sure.
âMagnus, youâve always loved fashion,â Catarina answered patiently. âAnd youâve always wanted to model, no matter how much you tried to convince yourself otherwise. I know you had a bad experience a long time ago, but thereâs no reason for you to be rejected this time. You could finally get to leave the company and people you hate. Youâll have the chance to be truly happy again. Whether or not it works out in the end, I think you should take the risk. I know you, Magnus, and youâll end up regretting it if you donât even try to get this contract.â
Magnus smiled wryly. There was a reason Catarina was his best friend. She knew exactly how his mind worked, even better than he did. She could read him like an open book and never hesitated to tell him when he was acting stupidly. She was smart and compassionate and empathetic, and Magnus trusted her with his life.
And as always, she was right. If he didnât audition for this job, he would spend his whole life wondering if he had missed out on something extraordinary. He was almost 30, and for all his creativity and tendency to act on impulse, he had never really taken a professional risk.
Leaving Fade Media and becoming a model for Lightwood Fashions was exactly what he needed to regain the joy and excitement he had lost after Camille. He would rather have a few months there and get fired once his contract was over than another ten years at Fade Media, stuck with a boss he couldnât stand and a position way below his skill level.
âThank you,â he told his best friend, already switching to the Lightwood Fashions website on his computer.
The page was bright and welcoming, done in tasteful colours that reflected Frayâs latest works. Rumour had it her secret partner was a colour theory genius, and Magnus had to admit their palettes were always impeccable. He couldnât help but wonder if they had had a hand in the creation of the website or if Lightwood preferred keeping everything separate.
âTheir website is fancy,â Catarina said over the phone, startling Magnus. He should have known his best friend would look up the company and the job offer as soon as he mentioned it.
âThe colour scheme matches Frayâs fall collection,â Magnus hummed. The collection had been released a few months ago and Magnus was just as in love with it as he was everything else Fray designed. âEveryone thought they were crazy for choosing purple as the dominant colour, but it worked out wonderfully. The public went absolutely crazy over the line.â
âDonât they always?â Catarina chuckled. She wasnât far from the truth. Although Lightwood had started as a luxury brand few could afford, the company had slowly started integrating cheaper â but no less stunning â options on top of their high-couture pieces. It was another reason why Magnus had gone back to supporting them after Lightwood Seniorâs resignation. âYou do realise this means youâll be meeting your idols, right? After years of telling Raphael you didnât care about getting to know Fray, youâre finally going to work with her.â
Magnusâ heart stopped. He hadnât even considered that; hadnât even thought about coming face to face with one of his idols, the talented woman who created the clothes he adored. He could have easily met her if he had wanted to, but something had always held him back. This time, there would be no avoiding it.
âStop freaking out,â Catarina scoffed. Magnus knew she was rolling her eyes at him fondly in the safety of her apartment. âSheâs going to love you. Sheâll be so thankful to have a model as amazing as you, and then sheâll realise youâre a wonderful human being on top of that. Thereâs nothing to worry about, Magnus. Besides, youâll have Raphael with you the whole time. Our dear friend may like to pretend he doesnât care about us, but you know heâll protect you against anyone who doesnât treat you right.â
Magnus exhaled, trying to let his best friendâs words soothe him. He knew he was being ridiculous. He had met countless celebrities, had interviewed them, had worked with them, but Clary Fray had always been the one person he kept at a distance. He didnât think he could stand it if he found out she wasnât as kind as everyone made her out to be.
Before he could let himself fall back into his old insecurities again, another thought popped into his mind uninvited. Magnus perked up, a sly smirk appearing on his lips.
âDo you think Iâll finally find out who her secret partner is?â he wondered out loud. âHell, Raphael might tell me himself once Iâm his colleague. Surely, this is common knowledge within the team, right?â
âI donât know, Magnus,â Catarina hummed thoughtfully. âWhoever this mysterious partner is, they clearly want to keep their identity hidden for the time being. Maybe youâll find out once you work there, but maybe you wonât. Donât get your hopes up and please, for the love of god, donât push anyone into giving you an answer that might get you into trouble.â
Magnus rolled his eyes. His best friend was so dramatic sometimes. He understood why someone might want to keep their involvement hidden in order to avoid the spotlight, but surely Lightwood employees knew about the secret partner.
âMagnus,â Catarina repeated, a hint of warning in her voice. âIf they tell you, thatâs great. But if they donât, leave it alone. You want this job more than you want to know this personâ secret. Please donât ruin this for yourself.â
Immediately, Magnus deflated. His best friend was â once again â right. He couldnât let his curiosity get in the way of what might be the job of his lifetime. No matter how much he wanted to know about Frayâs partner, no matter how enthralled he was by this personâs ability to choose the perfect colours and tell a story with their palette, it wasnât why he was thinking of joining Lightwood Fashions.
He had managed to live five years without knowing who Fray worked with. He could live without it for as long as it took this person to step out of the shadows. Sighing heavily, he clicked on the âopen auditionsâ tab and tried to push the mystery to the back of his mind.
âI wonât ruin anything,â he promised Catarina, hoping he would be able to stay true to his word. âNow, want to help me with this application process or should I call our traitor of a friend?â
Catarinaâs laughter echoed in his empty loft and Magnus felt a smile tug at his lips. Finally, after years of trudging through a job he hated, he was going to start anew.
A change was long overdue; it was time for him to be free.
