#leave Alec and Magnus and Izzy and Raphael and Simon and Maia be

[im-out-of-it]

extra bonus of season 2, episode 8 continued ALEC THATS THE WHOLE POST “love is a devil”

I’m going off

210. yeah, maybe let’s see- treat Alec better clary, that would be nice. Magnus is the only one who seems concerned that Alec tried to take his life

LOOK AT THAT FLUFFY ASS PERFECT HAIR IT LOOKS SO NICE AND SOFT AND BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT

also Izzy (kind of sad we only get a second of her here after everything she dealt with. and isn’t it crazy that Izzy is the only one who wasn’t affected? but she is addicted to yin fein so girl has been through plenty)

211. Jace: which means I’m not letting you out of my sight. ew major red flag 🚩 I’m going to need an Advil after this episode is over

212. as Alec’s parabatai, it is on jace to be there for Alec. but see, that’s the problem with the parabatai bond with them. it’s only relevant when jace needs something. how is it that Alec can always feel something is off with Jace but he never feels that for Alec? that’s on CC but the show should’ve handled that better. Alec and Magnus and Izzy are obviously the stars of the show but there is so much more that they could’ve done for Alec and how he is treated

213. this just doesn’t seem enough for me. Alec helped you try to get your mom back, which ended up you almost getting pregnant clary, he’s constantly apologizing, and almost took his life so from the way I see it, clary fucking owes Alec and that’s not adding all the other times he saved her worthless ass. ALEC DID NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL CONSENT WILLPOWER WHEN A DEMON INCORPORATED HIS BODY. this honestly feels like a whole Alec and clary don’t get along but let’s make Alec do the worst possible thing so they can be friends now. get the fuck out of here, not everyone has to worship clary. I certainly don’t and I certainly don’t fucking like her or will ever tolerate her

214. ending thoughts: I know I bring up Alec’s pain the most, it’s because he never seems to recover and is constantly going through it. and he and Magnus are my fucking favs. besides Magnus, Maia, Raphael, simon- alec goes through some of the worst shit possible. and I’ve added it onto a post about everything alec and Magnus (plus thomastair) deal with because it’s an outrageous amount. of all the fears clary has, it’s Simon being unfaithful? seriously? how about all the shit she pulled in the first season? I would have liked to see her fears about how she has treated everyone and what she thinks Alec and Izzy think of her. you know, they could’ve given clary some actual growth but they were like nah, let’s make her almost as insufferable as book clary. or if they didn’t want to make it about Alec r Izzy, how about the fact that she lost her mom for a while and found out she lied all clary’s life and then suddenly died? people die and that’s life but of all things, she worries Simon is cheating?

and same goes for jace. I get he has conflicting views with Maryse and that was a good vision but it would have been nice to see his insecurity with alec. is jace ever jealous of alec? does he hate how he treats alec? is he aware of that? (probably not because he’s self centered) but it would have been nice to see some growth with the treatment of alec from clary and jace. I’m so fucking bloody sick of the parabatai bond only meaning something when jace needs Alec to save him again. Jace doesn’t protect Alec- that whole “I’ll always protect him but while trying to accomplish an interrogation to Magnus was the dumbest attempt he made. since the first episode, jace has been putting Alec through the ringer and I’ve not once seen jace actually go above and beyond to protect Alec. this parabatai bond means absolutely nothing.

Izzy didn’t need one because she’s going through yin fein addiction so we will let her have that so let’s call it a day

215. but also this episode has so much content in just 45 minutes. Alec makes it clear that Magnus isn’t going away and he wants everyone to know how much he adores magnus. Jace hilariously tried to question Magnus and Alec’s relationship as if that’s any of his business and as if he ever carried about Alec. HE DOES NOT and you can’t prove that jace cares about Alec.

Magnus plans this party for alec and then has to deal with Iris, jace and clary bullshit, the love of his life almost dying, Maryse being a cunt, max thinking the worst of him, the poor man goes through it all. Alec almost takes his life and mags seems to be the only one who cares after it’s all done and finished. I never once see jace actually talk to him about it and clary saying “I don’t blame you” just doesn’t seem to be enough especially after all she has done to him and his family.

we find out that max is now a certified shadowhunter and that low scum Robert is cheating on Maryse and that’s why she’s been such a bloody cunt lately. Maryse is still treating Magnus like shit and doesn’t show any appreciation that Magnus saved Alec or any concern that Alec just tried taking his life. oh and the whole stupid I can destroy the sword jace and I can create runes clary bullshit. and it still amazes me how okay everyone is about how jace hid the fate of the downworld from the downworlders. no wonder they fucking retaliate after. I would be hella mad if my family was murdered because of jaces stupidity and he’s walking around as if he didn’t do anything wrong. but all in all, it’s a very good episode and honestly one of my top ten favs but I think it’s poorly executed.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO INCLUDE TRAUMA WRITE IT WELL (and I’m not saying that the show didn’t do Alec and Magnus justice because they did but there is so much that could have been changed for the better) but still a top notch episode and I would give it a 6 on my bitchfest scale

and some extra gifs and others pertaining to my annoyance of CLACE:

me to Alec all first season: 😭

but at least show Malec remains superior

okay okay okay 215 was the number and that is the highest I’ve had so far!!!!!!!! I’ll try to do the next episode probably tomorrow (maybe) but thank you for joining please stop hurting Alec and Magnus and ew rid of CLACE once and for all bitchfest debate discussion post. this was a heavy one and it contained 15 parts!!!!!!! the longest by far but it’s not my fault if I have many opinions but see y’all soon for the next one

Magnus/Izzy – I am so stealing this lipstick. # Clary/Izzy – We make a great team. # Meliorn/Alec – You continue to surprise me. It doesn’t happen often when you’ve lived as long as I have. # Simon/Maia -I didn’t expect to experience the marine life quite that up close. # Jace/Raphael - “I see the spark in you. It’s amazing. Whatever you choose to do with it, you’ll be great.”

(Read on AO3) (Meliorn/Alec)

Alec paces impatiently in the Institute’s meeting chambers. He has Isabelle, Jace, and two security guards present for the arrival of the Seelie representative, standard procedure for meetings that are meant to hold any serious political weight. Honestly, the Nephilim are so generally untrusting of the Seelies that he’s surprised the Consul or Inquisitor themselves aren’t making an appearance just to keep an eye on things.

“Don’t be nervous,” Isabelle says. “Meliorn is no one to be afraid of. They’re harsh, but fair, at least in my experience.”

Alec wants to tell her that his nerves around Meliorn don’t stem from their political standpoints on any of the upcoming Cabinet discussions, but that would mean explaining that the entire reason for this Very Official Meeting is a facade. He dislikes keeping secrets from his siblings but he understands why he has to.

And it’s worth it for the moment Meliorn strides into the room, no hesitation, no questions asked. There’s no sneaking around, no fear of getting caught - they simply walk into the Institute surrounded by two guards on either side as if they owns the place.

“Mr. Lightwood,” Meliorn states with a formal inclination of their head in greeting.

“Meliorn,” Alec returns, ignoring the stutter of his heart and forcing his voice to be even and dry in his own greeting.

“As a sign of trust and good faith, I would like to dismiss my own guards and companions so that we may meet privately,” Alec says, with a dismissive motion towards the other Nephilim.

“Are you sure, Alec?” Jace asks, unable to hide the concern from his tone.

“Positive,” Alec confirms with the smallest of smiles.

Isabelle glances between Alec and Meliorn, eyes narrowed for a second before turning without another word and leaving the room, grabbing Jace by the arm on her way out. The two guards follow reluctantly behind.

“I can agree to that,” Meliorn says, motioning for their own guard to follow the Nephilim from the room. The Seelie Knights look like they want to disagree but follow the orders without hesitation from their superior.

The door closes behind the last of them, leaving Alec completely alone with Meliorn who glances around the corners of the room suspiciously as Alec walks to the door and draws a locking rune followed closely by a silencing rune.

“No cameras in here,” Alec promises. “We’re completely alone.”

“Well done, Alexander,” Meliorn says. “I must say, I didn’t think you had it in you.”

“We haven’t seen each other in weeks,” Alec says, wasting no time in crossing the room to press against Meliorn, chest-to-chest, their faces nearly touching. He isn’t proud of how much the sentence comes out sounding like a whine.

“You continue to surprise me. It doesn’t happen often when you’ve lived as long as I have,” Meliorn says, moving forward just enough to press into the length of Alec’s body, but still keeping their lips from touching Alec’s own in a torturous display of self-control.

It’s a control Alec doesn’t share. He leans in to press his lips forcefully against Meliorns, closing any remaining space between them. The kiss is hungry, desperate, and full of the longing that their weeks apart created in both of them. Hands roam idly up and down backs, fingers tangling in locks of hair, and moans brought on by quick bites are stifled by pressing lips into necks and shoulderblades.

When they pull away both are properly disheveled, and Alec knows they’ve only just begun.

“I think this is going to be a lengthy negotiation,” Alec warns. “I hope your men don’t mind waiting.”

“I’m not sure they’ll have to wait very long if your current eagerness is any sign,” Meliorn teases, a good-natured smirk on their face.

Alec scoffs but smiles as he pushes Meliorn back against the wall. “We’ll see about that,” he says, kissing them before they can say another word.

Bourbon and Mint

Part 4 of Tealeaves for Heart and Home: A Malec (HumanAU) A/B/O series about re-finding lost loves and learning to build a family anew.

Read it Here on Ao3

Part four

Alec carefully tugged Max’s little jacket in place, “You remember what to do if you get separated from your Aunt and Uncles?”

He could practically hear both Izzy and Raphael rolling their eyes at him and privately wondered how anyone thought they weren’t a good match. Simon, kneeling right next to him, looked like he needed Max to answer to reassure him too. That was a worrying thing to see in someone Alec was about to leave his kid with.

“Stay where I am and don’t follow any strange adults. If I see the museum people, with their radios, I can ask them to help but I shouldn’t follow them anywhere.” Max repeated dutifully.

“And if you’re good all day?” Magnus asked from where he was standing behind Max, looking unfairly gorgeous in well fitted jeans and an asymmetric top that highlighted his arms.

Max tipped his head back to look at his  Ayah, “ I get to gift shop!”

Magnus ruffled his hair, unsubtly rubbing his scent over the top of Max’s head, “That’s right! Now, be good for your Aunt and Uncles and remember, you can ask to call Dad and I anytime if you need to come home, okay?”

“Okay!” Max nodded and turned to give Magnus a big hug as he knelt to receive it.

“I swear you think we’re totally incapable.” Raphael deadpanned from where he and Izzy were stood waiting behind Alec.

“It’s his first overnight with you guys.” Alec said, giving Simon a  look, “I think we’re allowed to be concerned. Especially since Magnus hasn’t gotten to spend much time with anyone but Raphael.”

“To be fair, he’s definitely the one I’m least worried about.” Magnus said, releasing Max with a big smile and ignoring Izzy’s “Hey!”

Alec left them to bicker over his head as he pulled Max into a tight hug, appreciating his blueberry happiness and the slight citrus scent that belied his own nervousness as being away from his parent’s. Max hugged him back and said quietly, “Love you.”

“Love you too kiddo.” Alec told him and let go, “have fun, okay?”

“I will!” He said, taking Izzy’s hand as she gave Alec a firm nod. Raphael took his other little hand and they started toward the museum doors. Simon looked at Magnus and Alec, “Seriously, guys, I promise we’re all going to be fine. Izzy and Raphael are total badasses and kids,” Simon grinned, “love me! Now get out of here!” He waved them away and didn’t wait to see if they went before he turned to race after his mates.

“That.” Magnus said, taking Alec’s hand, “That’s what alarms me.”

Alec nodded, “Well, at least you know Raphael and Izzy are used to managing a child.”

Magnus snorted, though Alec and he both knew that Simon was actually a good guy who would take a bullet for any kid, his energy and tendency to talk too much made him an easy target for their shared nerves.

“He is right about one thing. We need to get to our lunch date.”

“Yeah.”

Neither of them looked away from the museum doors.

“How are you doing this? I’ve had him for months and I’m freaked out.” Alec finally admitted and Magnus sighed.

“He goes with Cat fairly often. I’m just nervous because he’s never stayed with them before, but I trust they’ll call us if he needs us.” Magnus squeezed his hand and Alec let out a breath.

“Yeah. They will and I’m pretty sure Jace and Clary are both going over to Izzy’s to make it a sleepover.” Alec let that thought settle him. If there was someone he trusted more than Magnus or his sister with Max, it was Jace.

—

The Hunter’s Moon was familiar to Alec. He had to resist a laugh when he realized where Magnus had picked for their date. They were so close to running into each other so often in the city and it made Alec feel a little spark of superstitious gratitude. Magnus and him were meant to come back together, or at least that’s what it felt like.

He gave the bartender, Maia, a little wave. He didn’t know her well but she and Jace had some kind of frenemy situation and at some point he was pretty sure she’d slept with his sister. It wasn’t the sort of thing a brother cared to investigate.

“I see you’ve been here.” Magnus said, leaning into his side.

“A few times. Jace used to come here to pick up girls, before he met Clary. Now we meet up here occasionally. I’m actually glad you chose this place, it just goes to show.” Alec knew his smile was ridiculous, but he was feeling too happy to care.

“Show what?” Magnus asked, pulling him toward the bar with a playful spark in his eyes.

“That I was meant to find you again.” He let Magnus pull him close and purposely crowded the beautiful man into the bartop a little, getting close enough to breathe in the curl of satisfaction in Magnus’ scent.

Magnus just sighed and leaned back against him, “I would call that a good line, but I do believe you are being completely sincere.” He laughed, “It’s true though. We were just circling each other.”

Alec pressed his smile into Magnus’ hair.

“Hey!” Maia slid over to them with a wide smile, “My best tipper and the only tolerable part of Jace, you guys are cute.”

Magnus laughed at her greeting, “I will take my usual and whatever Alexander is having.”

Maia nodded and started on Magnus’ drink while Alec decided what he wanted, “Are you eating? I can grab your orders whenever you're ready.”

“That was the plan. Max is with Izzy, Simon, and Raphael until tomorrow, so we have plenty of room for a few drinks before we decide.” Magnus flashed another smile and Maia paused, looking between them.

“So, wait, how long have you two been together?”

Alec shrugged, “It’s been about six months, right?”

Magnus nodded, “and change, but who’s counting.”

Maia started mixing the drink again, “I was just surprised you let Max go with his family already.” She looked at Alec, “Most the time he comes in here angsting about it before he even lets people meet the kid. At least he realized he had a decent one this time.”

Alec coughed at that but understood what she was saying, Magnus spoke before he could say anything.

“One: Alexander is definitely the best person I’ve been with, Two: Izzy and Sherman are apparently Raphael’s mates, and Three: Alexander is Max’s father, so no angsting required.” Magnus reached back to pat Alec’s chest fondly.

Maia looked surprised, “Oh my god.”

“I know.” Magnus laughed and Alec couldn’t help but grin.

“You know what, I see it. Look at those eyebrows and that smile. Good luck ever saying no to the two of them.” She shook her head at Magnus and slid his drink to him. She set a lemon drop on the counter beside it with a pointed look at Alec.

“Oh, he didn’t—” Magnus started, but Alec wrapped his hand around the glass.

“You remembered?” He asked Maia who rolled her eyes and told Magnus, “Jace makes fun of him every time, it makes the drinks he does order stick. Let me know if you guys decide on food!”

She moved away from them and Alec cleared his throat and took a step back, giving Magnus some room to move away from the bar. Magnus simply turned so he was facing Alec and took a long drink from his glass, a small curl of steam rising.

“Is that tea?”

Magnus winked and took another sip, making the fondness in Alec’s chest shift into something hotter. It was unfair how good he looked, leaned back against the bar in the warm lighting, a touch of glitter in his hair and on his eyes that flashed when he’d winked. God, Alec loved him.

“I love you.”

Magnus’ expression softened and he used his free hand to cup Alec’s cheek, “I love you too.”

They stood just looking at each other until someone bumped into Alec with a muttered apology and broke the spell over them.

“Pool?” Alec asked.

Magnus’ gaze raked over him, speculative and Alec felt blood rush South as a slow grin spread across his features, “Oh, yes. Pool.”

—

After four games, the first two quick tests of one another and the next two slow rounds of torture watching Magnus bend and stretch and line up unnecessarily complicated shots, they ordered something to eat. Nearly done with game six, Alec was hungry for something he doubted was on the menu.

“You’re still very good at this.” Magnus told him, lips brushing his ear as they were both leaned over the table while Alec tried to focus on his final shot. The reminder of the last time they played, a world away, and the night that followed, was  very distracting; especially with the way Magnus’ scent was growing sweet, the spices deepening in arousal.

Alec held his breath and finished the game with a satisfying  click of the cue, well aware his own pine scent had gone vanilla and cinnamon to match Magnus’.

“Another game?” Magnus asked, casually chalking his cue.

“Next time.” Alec told him, tugging the stick from his hand to return them both to the wall where they belonged. He could feel Magnus’ eyes on him.

“I know it’s only two o'clock, but should we close our tab?” Magnus asked, looking at Alec through his lashes.

Alec didn’t look away from him as he made a motion at Maia to do just that. He could hear her scoffing  wow.. He’d tip her well to make up for the rude gesture.

She brought him his card, laughing a little at the face Magnus made when he realized that Alec had managed to pay for everything.

“You’d better come by with that kid of yours sometime, I want the family picture!” She took the bill that Alec held out to her with a smirk, “But right now, you’d better get out of here, before I have to start spraying scent neutralizers.”

She left them with that comment and color in both of their cheeks.

“Mine?” Magnus asked and Alec nodded, “It’s closer.”

Chapter 2

 They kept themselves together long enough to make the entrance through the tea shop. Magnus      did    need to let Lily know he wouldn’t be available for the rest of the day, and he thought they could use a moment.

 Alec gave his hand a squeeze and straightened his shoulders, striding ahead of Magnus through the tables of patrons. He paused long enough to glance at Magnus for a nod of approval and disappeared into the back room where the inner stair access was. Magnus forced himself to go to Lily instead of chasing after Alec, the heat in his blood not cooled in the slightest from their rather charged walk to the shop.

 “Leaving tall, dark, and in-love-with you to it by himself up there?” Lily asked, leaning her elbows on the front counter just to watch Magnus scowl at her. He didn’t bother this time, too used to Lily’s antics and too distracted by the image her words conjured. The thought of walking into his bedroom to the heady scent of vanilla and cinnamon that had been bleeding off Alec at the Hunter’s Moon, of Alec maybe unable to keep his hands to himself, trying to take the edge off his—

 “Magnus.” Lily was half-laughing at him, “I get it, you’re      busy.    Now, go away before I have to call Lightwood down to get his man.”

 Magnus cleared his throat, ignoring the way his cheeks were flushed, “Have a good shift.”

 “Uh-huh. You have a good—”

 “I will make you take inventory.” Magnus threatened, already stepping behind the curtain that separated the front counter from the back room.

 Lily only laughed at him.

 —

 Magnus found Alec standing in the living room. He was faced away from the door, his shoulders relaxed and his vanilla-cinnamon-pine scent settled in the room. Magnus watched his head shift slightly, aware of the omega in the room. It sent another flash of heat through him. Alec reached to the side, setting a mostly empty glass of water on one of the small tables.  His movements were careful, controlled in a way that they hadn’t been earlier today, and Magnus swallowed.

 “Everything taken care of?” He asked, finally turning to face Magnus.

 He was visibly breathing deeper, his eyes dark and attentive. Magnus had seen Alec focus on something before, on little things like making breakfast for Max, on taking care of Magnus during his heat, but he’d never been quite so obvious. Magnus waved a hand, watching Alec’s eyes track it, “All good.”

 Alec nodded and took a step toward him. Something in Magnus’ hindbrain warred with itself; thousands of years of evolution torn between backing away from the look in Alec’s eyes and submitting to the Alpha. Magnus licked his lower lip, breathing through the feeling and reminding himself that      he    was more than a match for Alexander.

 Something of his nervousness must’ve already bled into his scent, not that he was paying it much attention, because Alec paused, took a shorter breath, and very obviously shook himself. He was still every bit the Alpha in the room, but there was more of the sweet man that Magnus knew in his gaze, his stance went loose, and he smiled.

 “Sorry, got a bit in my head.”

 Magnus chuckled, stepping close and letting himself trail a hand over Alec’s arm, “You’ll get no complaints from me, darling.”

 Alec tipped his head enough to brush their noses together, sighing gently as Magnus ran his nails lightly up his shoulder and into his hair.

 “Still, I made you nervous?” Alec didn’t put any space between them, the soft question falling against Magnus’ lips.

 “Only because everything feels… new, with you. It wasn’t the bad kind of nervous.” Magnus admitted and caught the curve of Alec’s answering smile with his kiss.

 Alec tasted like the lemondrop he’d been having, and the tangle of their scents grew more intertwined as Magnus parted his lips to meet Alec’s eager tongue. The race of fire under his skin was both familiar and foreign, Alec’s touch an accelerant Magnus had nearly forgotten outside of the single moment during his heat.

 With a low sound, Alec walked them backwards between burning kisses until Magnus felt the press of his bedroom door against his back, the wood cool through the fabric of his shirt. Alec pushed against him, pinning him in place with his hips, his broad hands flash-burns as they slid under Magnus’ shirt, even as Alec licked into his mouth with a hungry sound. Magnus could feel the weight of Alec’s cock against his lower stomach, and he returned Alec’s eager kisses with biting, slick ones of his own.

 He used the leverage of the door behind himself to hitch a leg up, and trusted Alec to take his weight with the way they were pressed together, pushed against him until Alec caught on and both Magnus’ legs were around his waist.

 They parted, only to share breath, staring at each other for a burning moment. Magnus tried to get his mouth around any words that would move them away from the door, but his only coherent thought was, “Again.”

 Alec’s gaze went darker still and a low noise, undoubtedly from his secondary vocals, vibrated in his chest, making Magnus shudder in response and reach to open the door.

 They nearly crashed through it, but Alec seemed to be more in tune with his instincts, moving smoothly to keep Magnus held tight against him and using their momentum to twist them instead. Magnus found himself straddling Alec on the floor, mostly in the room.

 “That works.” He said, not caring they were doing a terrible job getting to the bed, and bent to bite at Alec’s jaw instead.

 “You okay?” Alec asked, hands already busy yanking Magnus’ shirt up.

 “More than.” Magnus said, ducking to let Alec pull the shirt over his head. He pressed his face into the crook of Alec’s neck and took a deep breath, groaning softly at the rich scent there. He rubbed his face against it, listening to the catch of Alec’s breath at the action, and sat back up with a grin.

 “Should we move this somewhere more comfortable?” Alec asked. He was gorgeous under Magnus, dark hair messy and skin flushed as he tipped his head back against the wood floor. With a slow roll of his hips against Alec, Magnus hummed like he was thinking, pushing his own hands under Alec’s shirt.

 “Are you saying you’re uncomfortable?”

 Alec settled his hands just above Magnus’ hips, “No.”

 With apparent ease, Alec lifted Magnus and slid out from under him in a move that highlighted how much strength and control over his own body Alec had. Magnus stared at him. He was not a small man himself, despite how Alec’s handspan felt around his waist.

 “Impressive.”

 Alec blushed at that, and Magnus felt some of the frenetic desire ease, especially as Alec offered him a hand. He took it, allowing himself to be helped to his feet and gently pulled toward the bed.

 “Exercise helps me think. Apparently, it helps me impress pretty men too.” Alec gave him a smug little smile, despite the redness of his cheeks.

 “Yes, yes it does.” Magnus gave him a slight shove, watching as he willingly tumbled back onto the pale gold sheets.

 “Going to have your way with me?” Alec asked, shifting enough to pull his shirt off before settling back against the pillows.

 “Yes.” Magnus said, voice layered with intent as the word reverberated in his throat, secondary vocals making themselves known. Alec sucked in a breath in response, and Magnus watched his pupils dilate. “Someone liked that.”

 Alec reached for his own belt, “I’m all yours, I’m just happy you know it too.”

 Magnus couldn't stop the soft smile that drew out of him; how Alec always managed to make him feel warm to his core from a simple sentence would always be a miracle to him. He watched Alec yank his own pants open and start wiggling against the sheets, obviously more than ready to finish undressing. All the skin on display made Magnus' fingertips tingle with the urge to touch all of him, but he held himself back, just taking it in. Alec stopped trying to get out of his pants, falling back against the sheets and giving Magnus an unimpressed look that made him laugh.

 "Well?" Magnus asked, raising an eyebrow and letting his gaze drag over Alec's body meaningfully.

 "Maybe I'm waiting for you." Alec gestured to Magnus, who was shirtless but still wearing pants and shoes.

 Magnus easily kicked off his shoes and, without a moment’s hesitation, dropped his pants so he was completely naked. He was rewarded by the sound of a low vibration rolling up Alec's throat as he stared, gaze like liquid heat as it raked over Magnus. Alec didn't bother playing anymore, twisting to shove his pants off and away and letting Magnus see him.

 He was gorgeous, his cock flushed where it curved against his stomach, thighs flexing slightly as his feet pushed impatiently against the bed as he made himself more comfortable. His lips were already red from their kisses, and his hair was messy and dark against Magnus' sheets. He looked at Magnus from under dark eyelashes as Magnus knelt on the bed beside him, and Magnus wasn't sure for a moment how he wanted this to go. He wanted a taste of everything, eventually, but he'd been assuming Alec would run this show, Alpha and filled with the determined, loving need like he was in the living room. Looking down at him, Magnus was certain that would be      very    rewarding. Just as he was sure, watching the way Alec kept looking back at his cock like he couldn't help himself and licking over his bottom lip, that Alec would enjoy being taken apart just as much.

 "Did you mean it?" Magnus asked, startled, almost, at how much deeper and rougher his own voice had gone, "I can have my way with you?"

 Alec gave him a long look and very deliberately tipped his head further into the pillows, baring his gorgeous neck to Magnus and staring at him over the sweep of his cheekbones. "Absolutely."

 Magnus groaned low in his throat and let himself fall on Alec then, lips sliding over his chest, enjoying the way Alec’s chest hair scraped against the softer skin of his cheeks. He bit lightly at the skin just above Alec's nipple, listening to the way his breath hitched at the feeling, only to press the flat of his tongue to the same spot and soothe the burn of his teeth. Alec sighed above him, relaxing again, and Magnus smiled against him, only to do it again, and again as he worked his way across Alec's chest. He laved his tongue over Alec's nipple, relishing the sharp noise and the way Alec twitched toward his mouth, clearly enjoying the attention.

 Magnus left his chest after another sharp bite, this time scraping teeth over his nipple, and trailed a line of hot kisses up Alec's neck. He could feel the coil of hot tension in his belly and lower that told him he was going to start slicking soon, something he hoped Alec would like. He hoped Alec would notice, would smell it on him, how much this was affecting him.

 He could certainly scent Alec's lust, especially as he pressed sucking marks to his throat, chuckling against the hot skin when he felt the way Alec was straining.

 "You can touch me." He murmured into Alec's ear, noticing how hard he was trying to keep his hands away from Magnus.

 Apparently, he'd only needed the permission. Alec's hand caught Magnus, tugging him until he was laying pressed against Alec, both of them gasping as their cocks settled pressed tight together. Magnus smirked, ready to say something he lost a second later as Alec used the hand he tangled in Magnus' hair to direct him into another mind-melting kiss. Alec knew exactly what he wanted as he kissed Magnus, sucking at his tongue and biting at his lip when Magnus tried to gentle him.

 When they parted again, Alec was mindlessly rolling his hips up, dragging against Magnus and pressing friction to their cocks. Magnus pushed up on his hands to look down at the two of them, the way Alec was longer than him, thicker at the base and absolutely proportionate.

     "Fuck."  

Magnus made his decision then, using his leverage over Alec, catching his hips with his knees and gripping his shoulders to roll them so Alec was covering Magnus, pressing him into the sheets. Alec didn't ask him, just looked amused and re-positioned them more comfortably. He caught one of Magnus' hands, and with an intent look, slowly raised it over Magnus’ head and pressed it against the pillows. Magnus arched against him, feeling himself slick at the movement and the weight and scent and everything about Alec above him.  He started to lean back down, clearly ready to continue driving Magnus crazy with his mouth, but he paused, nostrils flaring. Magnus watched his pupils dilate and his lips part as he dragged in a breath, obviously trying to taste the air.

 “      God.”    Alec pressed his face into Magnus’ neck, “You smell amazing.” He started kissing down Magnus’ neck, raising gooseflesh as he went. “Bet you taste even better.”

 Magnus moaned and bent his knees, happily giving Alec plenty of room to find out. Alec flashed him a satisfied smile, skimming a line of quick kisses down Magnus’ stomach and inner thighs. He paused to look up at Magnus, waiting, though Magnus wasn’t sure for what. The longer he stayed still, his hands gripping Magnus hips and his chest heaving as the air between them grew heavier with their scents, with Magnus’ desperate want, the less Magnus cared what he was waiting for.

 “      Alexander.”    He pressed out, teeth gritting around the word, as he flexed his core to push his hips up, trying to show Alec where he wanted him. Alec just watched him, tightening his hold on Magnus and helping lift him away from the bed. Magnus tried to kick at his shoulder, “Alec, please!”

 In a second Alec was turning him, flipping him and dragging him back so all Magnus could do was let himself be manhandled into place. He’d barely adjusted to the new position, ass in the air and facing his pillow, when Alec’s hands shifted to spread him, exposing him to the open air that immediately cooled slick against his skin.

 He didn’t try not to gasp and cry out when he felt Alec’s mouth against him. His own cock was aching between his legs, but he didn’t care about that or the way he was surely smearing makeup over the bedding. Alec's mouth was all heat, his tongue flicking against Magnus’ rim only to press insistently into him as Alec moaned, impatient to taste him fully. Magnus shuddered and pressed back against him as much as he could with how Alec was holding him. He bit down on the pillow in front of him as he felt the scrape of Alec’s teeth against sensitive skin; only to choke around it as Alec sucked at his rim. Magnus lost the next while to the delicious heat of Alec’s talented tongue and the sounds Alec made against him, registering the low sounds Alec made as more slick dripped from him.

 He found the willpower to move his arms again when Alec pressed the pad of his thumb against his hole, rubbing gently in tandem with slow circles of his tongue. He tried to reach the table where he kept lube but couldn’t get his hand to work well enough. He made a frustrated sound, only to sigh as Alec’s mouth left him. Alec’s hand caught his flailing one, winding their fingers together and squeezing as he let Magnus’ hips free, bending over his back to kiss his shoulder.

 “I’ve got you.” Alec said, voice rough from his recent activity. “Get comfortable for me, sweetheart.”

 Then the weight of him was gone, and Magnus rolled back over, taking deep breaths and watching through his half-lidded eyes as Alec found the lube, waving it at him with a smile. His mouth was redder than ever now, and Magnus distantly made a note to ask Alec not to shave, for next time. He was distracted from the thought as Alec rejoined him.

 Alec ran his fingers softly up Magnus’ leg, pulling it over his lap until he was kneeling between Magnus’ parted thighs, rubbing his hands over Magnus’ hips. The bottle of lube was cold where Alec left it on the outside of Magnus’ hip, but it didn’t bother him when compared to the heat of Alec’s skin.

 With smooth movements, Alec lifted Magnus’ right leg so his ankle rested on Alec’s shoulder. He sat back far enough it was a comfortable stretch, pressing kisses to Magnus’ calf and reaching to coat his fingers in lube. Magnus raised his own hands over his head, pleased enough to purr lowly as Alec smiled his approval of the movement.

 “That’s it, sweetheart.” Alec told him, sliding his fingers through Magnus’ slick to press unhurriedly against him, “Look at you, gorgeous and all on display for me.” Alec pushed his leg toward his chest, the stretch leaving him open to Alec’s hungry eyes. “I can’t believe I ever let you get away from me.”

 Magnus was glad to find the sorrow of their years apart, the sometimes still present bittersweetness of being together again, didn’t hurt him in this moment. Instead he felt a rush of gratitude, for what he didn’t know. Whatever had brought Alec back to him, had brought them here.

 Alec kissed his ankle and sunk a finger deep inside of him, and Magnus stopped      thinking.    He didn’t look away from Alec, watching Alec watch his own hand moving between Magnus’ legs. He looked like he was going to start drooling, lips parted as he panted, eyes dark and hungry.

 The gentle stretch of his finger didn’t last long before Magnus was impatient for more. He didn’t bother asking, deciding to show Alec what he wanted, since that seemed to work well enough. He started rolling his hips down, fucking himself on Alec’s finger. The spike in Alec’s scent, pine sharpening over the heady cinnamon, told him the message was received.

 “Impatient.” Alec chided him, voice warm with affection anyway. Magnus just laughed, the sound catching in his throat as his head fell back, Alec dropping out of his line of sight as he pressed two more fingers alongside the first. This stretch was all molten desire, the slick of Magnus’ body and the lube Alec was using liberally making wet sounds as Magnus worked his hips against Alec’s hand.

 “Alec.” Magnus gasped, his tongue too thick in his mouth as he tried to tell Alec what he wanted—needed.

 “I know, baby, I know.” Alec answered. “Look at me, Magnus.”

 Magnus made himself focus on Alec’s face despite the way pleasure made his eyelids flutter. Alec smiled at him, cupping his cheek with his free hand and dragging his wrist over Magnus’ cheek to leave a trail of his scent behind. Magnus pushed into the movement, aware of the instincts that drove him to do it and embracing them as he mouthed at the scent gland embedded in Alec’s wrist.

 “Magnus.” Alec said, moving his wrist away from Magnus' mouth. Right, he thought hazily, he was supposed to look at Alec. Even if it was hard to focus on anything but the fingers still inside of him and the scent of Alec so close to him. Alec drew his fingers out, and Magnus rolled against him, wanting the feeling back.

 “Alec—” He started, tongue still too thick but more of a warning in his tone now. He wanted more.

 Alec didn’t make him wait for it, with Magnus staring up at him, he filled him in one smooth movement of his hips. His strong arms on either side of Magnus as he leaned down for a kiss and swallowed Magnus’ gasping moans.

 Magnus couldn’t keep his hands over his head, not with Alec over him, in him, dragging sounds out of him as he ground into Magnus, tight and close. Magnus’ fingers scrabbled at Alec’s back, sliding over his shoulders as Alec bent low to lick fire over his throat, biting kisses following his tongue. Magnus thrust up to meet him, moving to grab at Alec’s ass even as he curved up to meet Alec’s mouth again.

 Alec made another low growling sound, the feel of it vibrating against Magnus lips. He sat up again, making Magnus’ nails dig into his lower back, a sound of protest leaving him at the space it put between them. Alec just smiled at him, something sharp in his gaze.

 His hands cupped Magnus’ hips, pulling Magnus along with him and making his eyes roll back at what the movement did to him. Alec’s cock pressed tight to his prostate, shifting inside of him just right as Alec spread Magnus out over his lap.

 “I—” Magnus tried to speak, but Alec chose that moment to thrust, hard, and he choked on the words. His eyes slipped closed as Alec repeated the movement.

 “You have no idea how you look, how much I’ve wanted this.” Alec said, words heavy with desire and an awed edge.

 Magnus reached for him, grateful when Alec let go of one of his hips to tangle their fingers together and squeeze. He made himself open his eyes again, watching Alec as he gently laid Magnus’ own hand against his stomach, Alec’s thumb trailing along the slight stretch marks from when he’d carried Max. Neither of them said a word about that, for now.

 Then Alec’s hand returned to his hips, and he flexed his fingers against Magnus’ skin, staring at him intently, and Magnus knew what he was planning.

 “Please.”

 Alec didn’t need to be asked again, thrusting into Magnus and using his grip on Magnus to pull him back into every movement. Magnus lost himself to the feeling. Alec’s scent blanketed him, his fingers pressed much-wanted bruises into his skin, their bodies met with a filthy sound. Alec was a burning heat inside of him and Magnus barely registered the way he was grabbing at Alec’s wrists, desperate. The heat inside of him coiled tighter, his heartbeat pounding in his ears as Alec took his cock in hand, squeezing more than stroking.

 He made a high, thin sound as he felt Alec’s knot, smaller than it would be during a full rut, but still perfect, press against him.

 “Shh, I’ve got you.” Alec said, as though Magnus would ever protest what Alec promised.

 Alec rolled his hips forward again, and Magnus could      feel    more slick rush out of him. He wanted more of Alec, always more. Alec groaned, obviously able to feel and smell the change.

 He released Magnus’ cock, making Magnus lurch up to try and stop him, only to realize Alec was gathering some of the excess slick on his hand. He groaned and fell back as Alec’s hand, wet and perfect, returned to his cock, stroking him firmly.

 “Ready?” Alec panted. Magnus looked into his eyes, almost all pupil now, and nodded.

 Alec thrust into him, his knot sliding past Magnus’ rim and sending lightning up his spine until it spilled out of him as a keening sound that was all instinct, the omega in him right at the forefront. Then Alec was grinding into him, hissing his name and panting, lost in his own pleasure, and Magnus felt like he was turning into liquid fire.

     “Fuck, sweetheart.”    Alec was half-moaning, tugging Magnus against him with one hand, the other working Magnus’ cock.      “Fuck.”  

 Magnus felt Alec’s cock jerk inside of him, and his head went to white noise as he came over Alec’s fingers, crying out and reaching for Alec blindly. He was distantly aware of Alec filling him, catching his hands in his trembling grasp.

 Eventually he came fully back to himself, relishing the loose, sensitive way his body felt. Magnus stretched, shifting so that Alec, who was slumped and panting but still mostly upright, could slide out of him.

 “I’ll get a towel.” Alec said, starting to slide toward the end of the bed despite the way Magnus could see him shivering.

 “No need.” Magnus pointed toward the side table where he kept the lube, and Alec rolled toward that instead, careful to mostly not smear fluid all over the place. Not that Magnus had any illusions about the state of his sheets.

 Once Alec had used the wipes and cloth Magnus kept for this sort of thing, though rarely ever had cause to use, to clean them up they curled together. Magnus’ head was pillowed on Alec’s shoulder, their legs tangled and Alec playing loosely with Magnus’ fingers over his own stomach.

 They lay in silence awhile, just enjoying the feeling of being together in the afterglow.

 “I love you.” Alec said, voice low and sincere.

 Magnus tipped his head, happily accepting a light kiss. “I love      you.”  

 “So, still good?” Alec asked, though Magnus could hear the teasing mischief in his voice.

 Magnus pretended to consider the question, tipping his head from side to side and laughing when Alec prodded him in the side. He kissed Alec again, because he could.

 “Very good. Better even. I’d say you had practice but… I have a suspicion you’re just a natural.” Magnus flashed Alec a grin to show he didn’t mind in the slightest.

 “You inspire me.” Alec agreed and Magnus laughed, happy and filled with love.

Inside TMI Gang's diaries part 2

Clary: Dear diary, WHAT THE HELL? so my father is an evil overlord who wants to destroy Downworlders, my mom is still kidnapped and it turns out Jace is my brother, what is life??????????, Also Simon is a vampire and I can't help but blame myself, Alec is off doing things but I know he's gay, Izzy is Izzy, Magnus is currently looking after Jace but says Jace keeps cleaning his loft, I just want things to be normal again, I need coffee.

Jace: Dear diary, *screams!* Why does everything I do end up wrong?, My father is alive, we ain't gonna talk about the Clary situation cause yeah, Alec is avoiding me and idk why, Izzy seems like she's gonna explode over all the love drama. Church seems pissed at me, Magnus keeps telling me to stop cleaning but I clean when I am stressed and when I am anxious and when I am mad, but chairman meow snuggles on me. Simon is a vampire and I honestly don't know. I apparently have a mom? The inquisitor has it out for me she is a scary woman, I am not afraid of her but I imagine others are, and Maryse seems upset with me again don't know what I did. And the Clary situation *sighs*, also Clary and Simon are dating and I guess I was right about it, anyways *SCREAMS*.

Alec: Dear diary, I am officially done, I am fucking done, this is way to much drama for me, also Jace has gone into depression over the Clary situation and he doesn't even realize it, Izzy tried to make me food and I had to run. Magnus is hot, and we have meetings but like I can't be with him and besides I like Jace, Simon is now a vampire but still annoying and he and Clary are dating whatever that is. But also Magnus. oh, and the inquisitor really is um... I can't say that it's rude, mom is very stressed, Max has no idea what's going on, and Jace is staying with Magnus, also Clary is the daughter of an evil overlord. But yeah Magnus.

Magnus: Dear fucking diary, why do I always get dragged into the Shadowhunter's business, if it weren't for Alec and Biscuit I would have ran away, but Alec and those blue eyes. Oh, and now I am watching over Jace Wayland/Lightwood, they say he's a Morgenstern but I don't think he appreciates being called that, also there's something oddly familiar about some of his vibes, they remind me if Will Herondale but I don't know why, also he's afraid of ducks like the Herondales it's weird, but he also keeps cleaning, he keeps fucking cleaning and I don't know where things are, what is he? A housewife? No offense to housewives. Clary and Jace have a situation and I honestly want nothing to do with it. Simon Lewis is a vampire now, I actually feel bad for him, poor guy didn't want anything to do with it. Isabelle Lightwood is not someone to be fucked with I have gathered. The inquisitor is a pain in my ass, but I will do it for Alec in hopes that he'll finally see he isn't in love with Jacey and will realize why I am doing all this cause I like him a lot.

Izzy: Dear diary, I am tired, I like drama but damn this amount and kind of drama is not fun and Jace is actually in a lot of emotional pain and I am tired of seeing him like that, I want my partner in crime back. Clary is Valentine's daughter and her mom is kidnapped, I kinda wish she would go away since she's the cause of my brother's pain but he would be mad if he knew i was thinking this, and I suppose we do need her. Simon is a vampire gotta admit it isn't going to be easy for him and I feel bad for him but idk why. Jace is staying with Magnus and I find it kinda funny. The inquisitor is a word I shouldn't say, and mom seems tense. Dad is idk, and Max I hope doesn't have to understand what's going on. But ya know, I never thought this would be the shit I would be getting into, and I never thought Jace would meet someone who would wreck his whole world. But I swear if the inquisitor hurts my family I won't fucking hesitate.

Simon: Dear diary, life as a teenager is harder then I expected, I am a vampire, I remember when me and Clary were kid's and we pretended we were vampire's, yeah it isn't so fun anymore. I want to go back to normal life. Jace is insufferable right now but I guess I feel a little bad for him, maybe. Clary and me are dating but I feel she isn't as serious about it as I am. Alec and Magnus have something going on but I can't place it. Raphael is interesting, and he definitely doesn't like me. Luke is back and is like dad to everyone, also Maia is cool. Also apparently Clary is the daughter of some super villain and like wtf? Also the Clary and Jace situation..., Yeah let's not get into that. I feel like we are on a drama train and we won't be getting off any time soon. Also Izzy is really cool too, and she's a badass like a super badass. Life is fun *he says sarcastically*.

Church: Dear Cat diary, where do I begin, I seem to be the only intelligent one, I miss Jem he was always intelligent. Also Jace doesn't realize he's a Herondale, if I could talk to these stupid hoomans I would scream it at him, this bitch radiates Herondale, also he's afraid of ducks, what other family would he belong to? But I can't talk and now he will go on thinking he is related to that Clary girl and will descend into the tragic love of the Herondales. Jem where are you? Also Alec and Magnus are meant to be like I know that much, Isabelle is always angry and one day she will figure out why. Simon Lewis is actually a good guy who needs to be wrapped in a blanket, believe me I find it odd that I said that too. But we are going on a drama journey and we won't be leaving anytime soon. I just hope Jem comes and saves me before I get too involved in it.

[normal-thoughts-official]

Au where everyone meets in Among Us. It's chaos. Magnus and Alec hit it off in the lobby and Magnus calls an emergency meeting to hit on Alec. Everyone votes Jace out for complaining about it. In fact he gets voted off every round but won't take a hint and leave. Memes are thrown about everywhere, Maia and Raphael become the imposter team from hell, Izzy swears to avenge her brother even though she killed him etc. they play for hours then (excluding Jace) exchange info and whatnot.

that is such a fun idea omg and now that u mention it im surprised that this hasn’t become a thing yet (or well maybe it has idk but i’m unaware) 

important things to consider

magnus and alec pretty much spend the whole discussion time flirting and they defend each other fiercely when other people accuse them. up until one of them is the impostor and kills the other and ALL HELL breaks loose because they are sUCH competitive mfs so quickly it becomes a game of who can fuck the other up the most, while still flirting. every time one of them is impostor and the other isn’t the other is first to die. otherwise they keep accusing each other every round. “it’s alec” “magnus everyone saw him scan” “TRUST ME” 

simon is actually pretty good at the game but for the first few rounds he can’t manage to say anything even tho he correctly figures out who the impostors are because he can’t be succint and they run out of voting time before he can finish his explanation on who they should vote and why

eventually everyone figures out that if magnus or alec are the first to die, the other is the impostor, so they start trying to frame each other instead

when neither of them is impostor, they compete to see who can find out who they are first. accusations are thrown around wildly. no one is to be trusted

when both of them are impostor, they compete to see who gets the highest body count. inevitably they lose within the first two seconds because they keep being hasty and getting caught

jace always gets voted off first and when he actually IS the impostor everyone cheers

one time someone kills jace right when the game begins and everyone pretends they haven’t seen it and his body is in the cafeteria for minutes until someone else is found

maia and raphael are absolutely the impostor team from hell. they are very good at dissimulating and just like, can keep an absolute straight face as they LIE THROUGH THEIR TEETH, and not only that but they love teasing, they will be like “oh no simon died? i just saw him in storage but i was headed the other direction :/” (they killed simon). they are the most likely duo to win

simon as an impostor either wins or gets voted off the first round there’s no in between

when both magnus and alec are dead the ghost chat becomes IMPOSSIBLE. they have nothing to compete over so it’s just back to constant over the top ridiculous flirting

“DO YOUR TASKS” - raphael, every time

“oh, don’t worry. i have wires now, wouldn’t miss it for the world. love getting tangled up on them ;)” - magnus, also every time

actually he finds a way to turn every task he has into a dirty joke somehow and raphael wants Instant Death, alec is very charmed even if it’s ridiculous

daohdsauih that’s all i have for now but i genuinely love this

[echo-bleu]

Ooohh can I ask for something soft, intimate, and hurt/comfort-y featuring both 10 & 24 (together) 😚

Thank you for this prompt Anon, I really loved writing it! I love writing non-sexual intimacy. This ended up being a “Alec has an autistic shutdown” sort of fic so, I hope you like it. (1.6k)

Thank you so much to @eternallysilvermagnusandalec for betaing. The title is from Radical Face's The Mute which is a beautiful song Silver just recced me.

[CW: autistic shutdown, light self-harming stims]

Read on AO3.

Alec opens his mouth, trying to raise his voice enough to go over the racket of everyone in the room yelling at the same time, but he fails to utter a single word. He wants to clasp his hand over his ears and curl up into a ball – or better, run away to a quiet corner. The Institute’s chapel sounds like heaven right now. But he’s in the middle of a Cabinet meeting and he simply can’t afford it.

Instead, he stands up brutally, his chair screeching on the stone floor. The noise dies down immediately. He feels their stares on him, heavy and expectant. He tries to speak again, but his throat feels constricted, tears rising to his eyes. He blinks them away before they can show on the outside and clasps his hands behind his back tightly, digging his nails into his palm.

He knows how he must look, towering over them mutely, his gaze firmly on the table. He can’t think straight enough to change it. His head is ringing and he can’t make his words work. He hates this, but he can’t even move to flee.

“Let’s adjourn this meeting,” Magnus says, his voice low but authoritative. He makes a simple gesture, and everyone else nods. They file out quickly, with no more than a glance at Alec, who doesn’t move. They understand.

Somehow, they understand.

It should be the height of irony that Alec feels safer here, surrounded by Downworlders – Maia and Bat, Raphael and Simon, Magnus and Catarina, the entirety of the current Cabinet excluding Izzy who is in Idris on a mission – than he could ever feel in a meeting with the Clave. He dreads finding himself like this in front of the Consul or the new Inquisitor one day, unable to speak or make his body obey his commands. He doubts they would look kindly on him.

Magnus comes closer, staying carefully within Alec’s field of vision. He reaches out with one hand, but doesn’t touch Alec.

“It’s just us,” he says. “Do you want to stay here or go home?”

Alec rolls back on his heels. He wants to...he doesn’t know. He can barely keep his thought process focused for long enough to figure out the implications of either options, and more importantly, he can’t decide. Choosing is beyond him. He shakes his head with something that sounds too much like a whimper to his ears.

“Do you want me to decide?” Magnus asks.

Alec nods, his hands still clenched behind his back. He knows – they’ve discussed this before – that Magnus is doing his best to help while still giving him the ability to decide for himself, and he’s usually thankful for that, but right now it’s just frustrating. He’s stuck, and he doesn’t want to move, to change, but it’s the only way it’s going to get better.

Magnus has opened a portal in the few seconds it takes Alec to parse this. “Go on through, Alexander,” he says, and it’s what gets Alec in motion. He finally manages to unclench his hands as he steps through, gritting his teeth against the sensation of being sucked through – he hates it, but it’s over very fast, and a sense of calmness falls over him as soon as he’s back in the loft.

He finds himself facing the bay windows, but the curtains are drawn, so the light only hurts his eyes a little. The quiet makes him realize how taxing the constant buzz of noise is at the Institute, even when he’s not in the middle of a screaming match between disagreeing Downworlders.

Magnus deftly avoids running into him when he comes behind him, even though Alec has stopped right out of the portal without thinking. “Home sweet home,” he murmurs. “Can I touch you?”

Alec shakes his head immediately, hoping that Magnus won’t take it personally. His own clothes itch and burn his skin right now, distorting his perception of his own body.

“Alright,” Magnus says without changing his tone. “We can get you to the bedroom to rest for a bit. Does that sound good?”

Alec nods, more to Magnus’ tone than the content of his question. He trusts Magnus. He trusts Magnus more than he trusts himself, especially right now.

“Come with me, Alexander,” Magnus coaxes. “Bedroom.”

Alec struggles to make his brain process it, then to get his body moving past the petrifying exhaustion. He rocks on his heels a few times, his hands hitting each other almost beyond his will, knuckles against palm, hard. The pain sends a small jolt through his body.

Magnus flinches a little, but doesn’t try to stop him. “Come with me,” he repeats softly.

Alec walks behind him, stiffly, feeling like his body doesn’t really belong to him, like he doesn’t know how to move his lanky legs fluidly. He hits his shoulder on the doorframe, hard enough for the pain to register in some part of his mind. Magnus makes an aborted motion to reach out, but Alec flinches back against his will.

“Here,” Magnus murmurs. “You need to take off your shoes. Unless you’re ready to let me do it.”

Alec closes his eyes tightly, until he sees stars, and makes a hand motion he hopes Magnus will understand.

“By magic? I can do that. Your clothes too? You’ll be more comfortable in sweats.”

Alec nods, still standing too straight by the bed. Magnus makes a deliberately wide gesture with his hand, and both of their outfits change at the same time, Magnus into one of his workout outfits and Alec into the sweats he usually sleeps in. They’re both barefoot, and Alec flexes his toes, relishing and mourning the loss of his shoes at the same time.

Magnus lifts the covers on Alec’s side of the bed as Alec tries not to squirm inside the new clothes. The sweats are worn and soft, but the change is jarring all the same. He shudders and hits his fists together a few times to get rid of the crawling feeling.

“You can lie down,” Magnus says, taking a step back.

As soon as Alec’s knees hit the bed, he folds in on himself, melting into the mattress like a puppet whose strings have been removed. Magnus pulls the covers back on his body, deftly avoiding touching him, and adds Alec’s weighted blanket on top. Alec sighs in contentment as the weight settles over him, turning him into a puddle. His world shrinks until it’s bearable again, his skin no longer two sizes too small for his body.

Magnus gets under the covers on his side, sometime in the seconds – minutes? – it takes Alec to settle down. Alec doesn’t bother trying to track his movement, trusting him not to do anything painful. “Better?” Magnus murmurs, lower than he usually would, his hands inches from Alec’s face but not touching.

They’re both lying on their sides, facing each other, Alec curled up in a ball and Magnus stretched out. Alec nods and even manages a hum.

“Come here,” Magnus murmurs, scouting a little closer. “You’re trembling.”

Alec’s eyes sluggishly find his hands and he realizes that Magnus is right. He’s shaking. He’s cold – no, not cold exactly, but the tension seeping out of his body leaves him off-balance, unable to self-regulate. His teeth are shattering.

“Do you think you can handle me if I squeeze hard?” Magnus asks.

Alec thinks about it. It takes him too long, he knows that, but Magnus is patient. He waits without moving, expectant but not pressing.

Maybe, Alec tries to convey with a half-nod.

He braces himself. For a fraction of a second, as Magnus closes his hand around his, he feels like he might explode, but Magnus squeezes almost hard enough to hurt, and the pressure helps. Alec almost unconsciously pulls Magnus closer, wanting more of his warmth and his weight. “You want me to lie on you?” Magnus asks, not resisting.

Alec nods, since that’s what his body is clearly craving. They’ve done this before, and it’s a little hit-or-miss, but Alec has come to love it. Magnus is careful not to graze him as he climbs on top of him, deliberately digging his knees and elbows into Alec’s skin. It hurts, but in a way that appeases the urge to hit his hands or his head on something.

Alec does his best to avoid hurting Magnus himself by touching him, but his control is poor and Magnus gently replaces his hands a couple of times before they’re both comfortable. Alec melts under the pressure on his whole body, Magnus’ head tucked under his chin, his soft breathing giving him a rhythm to follow.

He should feel trapped, unable to move as he is, but he doesn’t. He feels...loved. Cared for. Magnus understands him without words. He’s the one person who doesn’t make him feel embarrassed when he shuts down like this, who just calmly and unquestioningly helps.

When he feels settled enough, Alec removes one hand from Magnus’ grasp and signs T-Y, as Magnus is not in a position to see the regular thank you sign. Magnus nods against his chest. “You’re welcome, Alexander,” he says quietly. “Want me to get off you?”

Alec shakes his head, his chin brushing against Magnus’ gelled hair. It tickles, and he lets out a small laugh, his free hand fluttering at his side.

“I’m staying right here, then,” Magnus says, a smile in his voice.

Alec closes his eyes, exhausted but feeling grounded. They both fall asleep within minutes, even though it’s the middle of the day.

Chapter one: normal days.

New York is a city field of all kinds of people. going from place to place leaving their lives. What everyday people did not know is that there small little world was all fake. For underneath all the coffee dates and business. There is a world of darkness a Shadow world.

In this world, we have guardians called Shadowhunters or “police for Downworlders”. They are humans that have angel blood. The angel blood allows them to use rune to enhance their already heightened natural abilities to battle rouge downworlders or demons.

Jace Lightwood Herondale is one of these guardians. He is a tail man with saggy blind hear and golden eyes his body was covered in black marks and a long sword was griped in his right hand. His eyes were locked on a huge wolf that’s stands in front of him. “Torrent don’t make me do this.” Jace pleads throw his teeth. The wild wolf Just snorts and lunges at Jace.

Jace quickly doges to the side. So fast no mondane could of seen him. The wolf slide on the wet grass of Central Park. It turns and finds Jace right in front if it’s face. Jace brings his sword down quickly and blood shouts out from the wolf’s head and now a human ear lays on the grass. “Torrent you have broken the law and if you continue to hunt Mondanes I will be forst to kill you.” Jace grips his sword handle ready for another attack.

“Torrent he will do it” says a girl voice. Jace smirks as a black girl walks up behind him. “It's about time you got here Maia.” Jace says as his body losses.

“Sorry the pack was on a hunt last night. I did not get your note tell today.” Maia replies. Maia Roberts was the leader of the New York wolf pack. She was a slender girl with curly black hair. She did have a aura of leadership to her. “Did you have to cut his ear off?” She asks.

“It was a ear or his life. I think the ear was a batter idea.” Jace snickers. Slow the huge wolf turned back into a teen boy with his left ear cut off.

“I will kill you shadowhunter!” Torrent snapped. Maia looks at Torrent with a stern look and he drops his head in somishen.

“Lisson cub and lisson good you got a chose to make. Join my pack and deal with the punishment I give you or.” Maia says

“Or I kill you for breaking the Law” Jace smirks. Torrent looked form Maia and Jace then charged at them full speed his transformation beginning. Maia was way more skilled and was able to change in to her wolf form in a split second and attacked Torrent her jaws biting down on his throat. Jace sheaths his sword and shakes his head in disapment. There is a loud snapping sound and Torrents human body falls to the grass. Maia turns back to normal spitting out blood. “I really don’t like having to do that.” She spits out angrily.

“I know Maia but he left us no choose. If he head not joined your pack the clave would of sent the order to kill him. He murdered four Mondanes.” Jace stats laying a hand on Maia shoulder.

“I know but it still sucks. We will deal with the body. He is of are kind after all. A child of the moon.” Maia gives a wisale and two very big men come out of the tree line and pick up the body. One slow picks up the ear and holds it out with two fingers. They nodded at Maia and walk off. “Say where is Clary and the others?” Maia asked looking around.

“Clary is with her mom and Luke getting them saddled in at the academy. Alec and Magnus are off somewhere with the boys. Ask for Izzy and Simon there still on their honeymoon.” Jace says with a black face.

“Man how long they going to be in Israel?” Maia retorts. Jace just shrugs. The two walk over to the street where his Motorcycle sits. “You have a Vampire bike?” She asks.

Jace smirks and looks at his bike with admiration. “Yep the Vamp clan made it for me after that event with the ogre attack on the hotels dumort.” He responds with joy. Maia just shakes her head and start off for the subway. “See ya later blondy” she waves. “Later fle bags,” Jace chuckles and jumps on his bike and speeds off.

In Manhattan live Magnus and Alec. In side there home kayus is happening. Max a blue skinned worlock child is running after a young black haired shadowhunter child named Raphael. “Daddy help!!!” Raphael says running into the kitchen and ducking be hind Alec’s leg.

“Wow wow wow what’s going on?” Alec asks looking at his boys.

“Dad he broke my Harry Potter wand.” Max says holding up two pieces of a toy wand.

“I didn't mean to I was just practicing my dagger throws Ankle Jace showed me.” Raphael cry’s.

Alec lets out a heavy sigh. “Where's papa?”

“He was in the study last we saw him.” Max says glaring at his younger brother. Raphael head more behind Alec.

“Ok Max we will get you a new wand and Raphael no more knife throwing in bedrooms.” Alec takes the wand from Max and then rifles both his boys hair. “Go play with Chairman Meow for a bit boys.” The two kids hug their Dad and runoff and a few scents later there is the sound of a cat crying out in tirrer. “I side play not kill!”

Alec walks in to the studies to see his Husband setting behind his disk. Magnus is a strap dresser and has his very own still. However today Magnus was dressed in a old gray sweater and black sweats. His black hair was tasseled like he head been holding his hands in his hair. Alec cross the room so quiet and light. He kisses his Husbands cheek. Slow Magnus looks up and smiles.

“Hey there my handsome man.” Magnus says and is cut off by Alec kissing his lips.

“You ok Magnus? You look like you seen a ghosts?” Alec inquirers.

“Oh yes fine fine it’s just a letter from someone wanting my sirves.” Magnus explains shifting the latter he was reading under some other papers. Alec looks unaffected. “Well I need to go in to town Max wand is broken and we need milk.” Alec says and heads for the door. “The boys are playing with the cat.” Alec says and opens the steady door. Chairman mew came running into the room and hides under Magnus disk. “Playing?” Magnus says raising his left eyebrow. Alec shrugs and walks out of the office.

A week later Jace sits in the library. Behind a large oak desk with angels holding up each end. On the desk papers are everywhere. Some in piles others just scattered around the desk. A few are all crumpled up in balls. A young 20 year old girl with fire red hair walks in to the Library and over to Jace and kisses his cheek. “Hello hottie.”

“Hey there Clary.” Jace says smiling up at the girl.

“They are all in the main yard and the others will be here soon.” Clary says smiling. Jace hangs his head down

“Man why are we doing this again?” He asks

“Because we are a institute and the clave wants us to and I love to see you tell the Console no” Clary responds pulling Jace to his feet. The two walk out of the library and head down to the front of the Institute.

In the main yard stands three other people. Two guys and a girl. One of the men is Alec Lightwood. The other guy is kind of scrawny compared to Jace and Alec his hair was plain brown and it was ruffled. He was wearing black jeans and a black T-shirt with the words the mortal instruments on the front. This was Simon Lovelace. Standing next to Simon was a girl with long black hair she was in a short black skirt that come to just above her knees and a black string tank top with a black leather jacket. This was Isabelle Lightwood.

“Magnus gone to get them?” Clary asks walking up holding on to Jace arms. Alec just nods.

“We’re are the boys?” Isabella asks.

“With mom” Alec answers.

“You guys get moved in?” Clary inquiries looking at Simon and Isabelle.

“Yes we did thanks for that huge room.” Isabelle smiles.

“It was the farthest from our room I don’t want to hear you newlyweds all night.” Jace snickers.

“Oh ya like we had to deal with the two of you.” Simon retorts. Jace was not able to use a come back because a blue portal opens up.

Magnus Bane walks out of it smiling. “Right this way kiddos.”

Out of the portal rolls a young man with brown hair and a average build . After him tumbled a girl with poofy brown hair and a slender body. Once that girl was out of the way a younger boy with black hair shaved down to the skull and was a skinny toothpick came flying out Superman style and finally a small girl with long reddish brown hair down to her butt and a slim build walked out like any other normal ShadowHunter would.

“On your feet and line up!” Jace shouts and the four teens scramble to their feet and line up shoulder to shoulder. “Ok newbies I am going to only say this once and if you don’t get it to bad. I am Jace Lightwood Herondale and this is Clary Fray Fairchild.” Jace says and points to Clary who gives a light wave. “We run this place. You will be sent on missions by us. Simon will be your physical trainer and Izzy will be your weapons master.” He adds and then points to Simon and Isabelle. “Most of your are from the dregs class and one is from the elite class. The one that is form the elite class you go nowhere in this city without one of us! Now I want your names and were you lived before here.” He finishes.

The tallest teen steps forward and with a very british accent says. “Mekyle form London.”

Next is the girl with puffy hair. “Angelique form Texas.”

Then the Superman diver steps forward.

“Xander from Queens, New York.”

And last the small redhead skipped up and seemed to be jumping out of her skin. “I am Ruthie from Europe and can I just say I am so honored to be here working with legends.”

“Hold up this is one of the group of Shadowhunters. You been fangirling over?” Angelique asks looking down the line at the jittery Ruthie.

“Yes this is the shadowhunter that ended not only the mortal war but the Dark war also.” Ruthie adds bouncing on her heels.

“Then that means your Headmistress Jocelyn’s kid?” Xander chimes in looking at Clary. Clary just smiles and nods.

“Guys I need to get going to the meeting with Maya and Lily” Alec says.

“No way the leaders of the Vampire and lycan clans!” Angelique squeals in excitement.

“Umm ya” Alec says a little shocked.

“Don’t mind her. Her focus of study was Downworlders and politics.” Xander says.

“Welp maybe next time you can tag along.” Alec smiles and grabs Magnus hand and turns to walk away.

“Ok Newbie head inside and find your own room.” Jace says. All the teens nod pick up their bags and head into the Institute. “This is going to be a pain.” Jace says after all the teens were in the building.

Quiet Night In (read on ao3)

Pairing: Magnus Bane/Alec Lightwood Rated: General Summary: “If I don’t get to kiss my husband at the stroke of midnight, I’m leaving him,” Magnus decided. Alec’s bright laughter chimed through the phone and it was beautiful music to Magnus’ ears.

“Well, then you better let your husband get back to work,” Alec said teasingly. “I love you, Magnus. I’ll be home soon,” he muttered as the phone clicked off.

A gift for JCCortes! Thank you so much for your support!! 

“Alexander, I know you said you wanted a quiet night, but I thought you would at least be here,” Magnus groaned into the phone, trying not to let his displeasure be too obvious in his voice.

He had spent enough New Year’s Eves alone to concede to however Alec had wanted to celebrate, even if that meant staying at their loft in Idris, a place where time really had no meaning, and just being together. He had already received multiple messages from his friends who had spent the evening at lavish parties or creating elaborate firework displays for the mundanes who found the bursts of color and noise exciting. Magnus didn’t mind that he was going to ring in another new year with Alec at home, but it would have been nice for his husband to actually show up.

Alec sighed heavily and said, “I know and I promise I’ll be there before midnight.” Magnus glanced down at his phone and saw that there were only 30 minutes until the end of the year and his heart clenched in fear that Alec wouldn’t make it on time. Alec was not one to wrap up his work until it was finished and a half-hour didn’t seem like nearly enough time.

“If I don’t get to kiss my husband at the stroke of midnight, I’m leaving him,” Magnus decided. Alec’s bright laughter chimed through the phone and it was beautiful music to Magnus’ ears.

“Well, then you better let your husband get back to work,” Alec said teasingly. “I love you, Magnus. I’ll be home soon,” he muttered as the phone clicked off.

Magnus glanced down at his home screen, a smile curling on his lips when he saw himself and Alec at the Lightwood Christmas party Maryse had thrown a few weeks earlier. Alec had worn the most ridiculous sweater Magnus had ever seen but Magnus was smiling at him like Alec was the light of his life. Magnus could never deny that was exactly right.

So he waited. He passed the time by pouring an incredibly strong cosmopolitan - he wasn’t going anywhere so he could drink as irresponsibly as he wanted - and turning on the television to watch the mildly entertaining New Year’s Eve special the mundanes were so fond of. He told himself to trust that Alec would be on time, but 20 minutes had gone by without so much as a text message. He wasn’t trying to let his disappointment get the best of him, but as he heard the clock on the wall ticking, his heart beat a little faster.

When he heard the key in the front door, he jolted up and a large grin spread across his face. He should have known better than to doubt his husband.

“Magnus? You here?” Alec called before Magnus entered the entryway.

“Where else would I be, my darling?” Magnus called back as he sauntered toward Alec and rested his hands on his shoulders. He leaned in for a welcome kiss, but Alec put a hand to his chest and backed away, raising his eyebrows as if Magnus had offended him with his affection.

“We’ve still got 5 minutes!” Alec complained and Magnus just rolled his eyes.

“I can’t kiss my husband before this dreaded year is over?” Magnus asked with a dramatic wave of his hand. They deserved for the year to be over and if Magnus had any say in the matter, he would have erased he and Alec’s memory of it altogether. They hadn’t spent nearly enough time together with their new roles in the Shadow World taking over every aspect of their life, and if Magnus wanted to kiss his husband after a long year of limited affection, he would kiss his husband, dammit!

Magnus leaned forward again, hoping to catch Alec off guard, but was met with another push to his chest and rich laughter filling the air. Magnus crossed his arms over his chest and said, “Seriously, Alexander?”

“I promise you it’ll be worth it!” Alec responded with a wink. He glanced over Magnus as if inspecting him and tilted his head in clear judgment. “You can’t wear that to ring in a new year, babe,” Alec noted and Magnus gaped at him.

“Oh, I can’t? What’s wrong with your favorite silken robe with nothing underneath?” Magnus teased with a coy wiggle of his eyebrows. “Maybe we can both welcome the birth of the new year just as we came into this world, hmm?”

Alec grinned at him and moved to kiss him, but at the last second, he veered and yelled, “Stop distracting me! We’ve only got three minutes!” Alec grabbed his hand and brought them into the living room, swirling his hands wildly at the wall. “Come on!”

“Alexander, what is the angel’s name are you doing? Is that supposed to be me?” Alec glanced at the clock and did the motion again.

“Yes, it’s you! Just--” he sighed and grabbed onto Magnus’ hand, “--create a portal and trust me?” Magnus didn’t need to be asked twice. He conjured a portal with the hand that wasn’t laced with Alec’s and glared at his husband as best he could. Before he could ask what all of it was about, Alec pulled them through the portal, and his ears were met with a screaming countdown.

“10… 9… 8…” Cheerful voices filled the air and Magnus’ glare turned into one of shock when he saw the entire Lightwood family and all of their friends crowded together in the middle of his loft in New York.

“Alexander, what is this?” Magnus asked as Isabelle thrust a champagne glass into his hand.

“It’s about time! You almost missed it!” Jace shouted from where he had his arms thrown around Clary and Simon. Isabelle fit snugly between her brother and Simon, handing them their own glasses of champagne before slipping her arms around their waists.

“7… 6… 5…” Alec wrapped his arm around Magnus’ shoulder and moved them closer to where Raphael and Maia spread out on their respective chairs.

“I can’t believe--”

“It’s like you don’t trust me at all,” Alec scoffed, turning toward Magnus as the countdown continued. “You make so many sacrifices for me, I figured it was my turn to surprise you in return.” Magnus’ gazed up at Alec with so much love in his heart and a feeling of luck that he still hadn’t quite gotten used to. Alec cupped his cheek in his hand and rested their foreheads together.

“4… 3… 2…”

“Cheers to a year of sacrifices, surprises, and our wonderful marriage, Magnus,” Alec whispered before finally connecting his lips to Magnus’ just a second before the year ended. Magnus wanted to tease him for it, but the kiss was so full of love and devotion, he couldn’t find it in himself to care. His arms wrapped around Alec’s waist, gripping the fabric of his jacket tightly to pull him closer, and he kissed back with as much passion as their first kiss contained. Every kiss - every moment - with Alec was just as sweet as the last and Magnus was lost in the feeling of his husband, his forever.

“Happy New Year!” His friends cheered as loud music and noisemakers blasted through the loft and confetti floated down around them. When he pulled away, Alec was smiling brightly, his lips covered in Magnus’ lipstick and his eyes full of laughter and happiness.

“Happy New Year, Magnus,” Alec shouted as he pressed a firm kiss to Magnus’ forehead. Izzy and Clary moved underneath each of Alec’s arms as Jace threw his over Magnus’ shoulders. They were singing loudly and incredibly off-key to their own horrible rendition of Frank Sinatra but Magnus couldn’t care less. He was surrounded by his found family and the love of his life and it was more than he could have ever asked for that year and every year to come.

“Quiet night in, huh?” Magnus teased as he wiped his smudged lipstick from Alec’s mouth, grinning at the joy that filled Alec’s face. His eyes were crinkled, his teeth were bright, and his cheeks were just a little flushed and Magnus thought he was the most beautiful man on the planet when he was happy.

Alec winked at Magnus and said, “With the Lightwood-Banes? Never.”

magnus & the main characters interaction count: a study

an interaction counts as magnus talking specifically to 1 main and that main character responding, or vice versa. (you know like alec does with jace/ clary/ izzy in 95% of the episodes throughout the whole series and luke/ simon in half of s1 and s3.) an interaction is NOT where magnus addresses the group in general with no one responding to him directly, or him being in the same room with all of them, but they only talk to alec or to each other.

this count starts from 2b. s1/ 2a did NOT have anywhere close to an adequate amount, but at least there wasn’t so little that it was total joke like after that. the sad truth of this is so glaringly obvious when it’s listed.

plz take note this post is about magnus/ MAIN character interaction ONLY

and obviously this count is about the 6 mains other than alec

SEASON 2B

2x11: NONE

altho clary/ jace are in the room, they only talk to alec

2x12: NONE

2x13: NONE

2x14: 1 scene with luke

2x15: NONE

altho jace/ izzy are in the room, they don’t talk to him

2x16: NONE

he was not in the episode. he also was not in some episodes in s1. luke and maia have also not been in some.

clary, jace, alec, izzy, and simon have been in every episode. just saying.

2x17: 2 scenes with luke

2x18: 1 scene with luke

2x19: NONE

altho the shadowhunters/ luke are in the room, they don’t talk to him

side note: making literally everyone be against magnus/ glaring at him/ shading him behind his back after all he’s literally done for every single one of them was… a choice. they all didn’t seem to care that he was hurting.

2x20: 1 scene with izzy

final count:

6 episodes (over half the season) with NONE

2 episodes of only 1 scene interaction

only 1 episode where he interacts throughout, yet still only with 1 other main

only 3 scenes where he gets to talk to another main without alec there

no scene where he talks to another main and alec isn’t mentioned

SEASON 3A

3x01: NONE

3X02: NONE

altho shadowhunters/ luke are in the room, they only talk to alec

3X03: 1 scene with izzy

3x04: NONE

altho clary is in room, she only talks to alec

3x05: NONE

3x06: multiple scenes with clary

3x07: NONE

altho clary/ izzy/ simon are in the room, they only talk to alec

3x08: multiple scenes with izzy

no, owl!jace saying alec would chose jace over him doesn’t count

altho luke/ simon are in the room, they only talk to alec

3x09: 1 scene with izzy

3x10: 1 scene with jace

altho should a scene of him telling the parabatai he gave up his magic for them and them not saying anything count?

final count:

5 episodes (half the season) with NONE

3 episodes of only 1 scene interaction

only 2 episodes where he interacts throughout, yet only with 1 other main

only 1 episode where he gets to talk to another main without alec there

no episodes where he talks to another main and alec isn’t mentioned

SEASON 3B

3x11: 1 scene with izzy

altho jace is in the room, he only to talks alec

3x12: NONE

altho jace/ luke are in the room, they only talk to alec

3x13: 1 scene with izzy

and 1 single line to clary, i guess

3x14: NONE

3x15: NONE

aside from 1 single line to simon, i guess

no, clary/ jace/ izzy unkindly questioning him being there doesn’t count

side note: making magnus be surrounded by a room full of racist-coded shadowhunters in s3 was… a choice. what was the point of that? it showed that apparently only laws have changed but not societal sentiment- outside of the main foursome- since s1 in their mindset towards downworlders. and then they had malec get married amongst these racists a few weeks later?? to show him being treated so disrespectfully (again in s3, so nobody’s mindset progressed outside of the 4) and be made so uncomfortable and then never have them show him any love or treat him as an equal later on (as an individual and not just as half of malec) was… a choice. a bad choice.

3x16: NONE

3x17: NONE

3x18: NONE

altho clary/ jace are in the room, they only talk to alec (and then when he’s sad over something that their 3a choices caused, they leave. in the same episode the writers have maryse say “we’re all here for you”…what a joke.)

3x19: NONE

3x20: NONE

altho izzy/ clary/ jace are in the room, they only talk to alec

3x21: NONE

aside from 1 single line to simon, i guess

no, saying only biscuit doesn’t count

3x22: NONE

altho it’s his wedding day, they don’t let jace/ izzy welcome him into the family but instead irrelevant max.

and altho it’s literally the finale, the ONLY person he gets to talk to is his rival. (side note, but lorenzo and underhill should NOT have been at the wedding after their awful treatment towards him. such two-faced people.)

final count:

10 episodes (the length of a normal half season) with NONE

2 episodes of only 1 scene interaction

0 episodes where he interacts throughout

1 scene where he get to talk to another main without alec there

in his 1 scene in 3x13, he talks to another main and alec isn’t mentioned

i think the point i’m making is obvious: the 3 white showrunners and mostly white writers almost never ever let magnus even talk to any of the other main characters. (he also goes three seasons without a single story arc with another main that lasts more than 1 episode. (no, the writers using luke as a mouthpiece to justify alec’s mistake in 2b does not count.) you know, like how alec had big long arcs with both clary and jace in s1, 2a, and 3a and izzy here and there. even maia, the most neglected character on this show, still got to regularly interact with simon and luke- 2 mains. even luke with his limited screentime, still got to regularly at least talk to literally all of the mains in all his group scenes.

and what about the 3 downworlder mains and alec?

well, altho alec and maia only had 2 scenes together, that’s still twice what magnus/ maia got, seeing as they only had the 1 scene together in 2a.

alec and luke had at least 3 scenes together in s1 that i can remember vs magnus/ luke only having 2 lines in 1x06. both duos had about equal in 2b.

in 3a alec/luke had 5 scenes together. magnus/ luke had none where they actually spoke to each other. in group scenes magnus only talked to alec.

in 3b alec/ luke had 3 scenes. magnus/ luke had none. plus luke told alec that he couldn’t go to his wedding, instead of telling magnus.

in s1 magnus/ simon had maybe 1 line. alec/ simon were interacting constantly throughout, i don’t remember how many scenes it was.

in 2a magnus/ simon had 2 episodes together. in 2b they had 1 scene but i don’t really count it since it was only to have it be literally everyone vs magnus. alec/ simon had 1 scene in 2b and none in 2a.

in 3a alec/ simon had 3 scenes interacting together. magnus/ simon had none where they actually spoke to each other.

in 3b all the fans complaining really paid off! 2 scenes in 3x15. 1 scene each in 3x17, 3x19, 3x20, and 3x21 for a grand total of 6 scenes. plus no talking- yet still in a scene together- in 1 other scene in 3x15, 3x17, 3x18, and 2 others in 3x19, for a grand total of 5, not counting the edom finale scenes. magnus/ simon only said 2 lines to each other in 3b.

not to mention alec stood next to simon in a nice two-shot in 4 separate scenes. it really reminded me of what they do with clary/ alec in group scenes. the writers don’t always give them a lot of dialogue together, but they’re sure to get that dynamic in at least visually. alec always has at least crumbs vs magnus getting nothing. where is that energy from the writers, directors, or fans with magnus and literally any main? really, where is it?

i mean, there was no reason for alec/ simon not to have scenes, but i’m so truly disappointed that this is where the fan effort was spent instead of lobbying for magnus to get to interact with even one main character other than alec, seeing as alec always already get to constantly have many, many, many duo and group scenes and big arcs with the 3 other shadowhunters. and now he gets to be more bonded with all of the main downworlders too instead of magnus with his own people. the writers are so so so wack.

also obviously magnus interacts with alec on a regular basis. the point is that’s it. malec is the main reason why i watch the show, so it matters a great deal, but when every other main is getting vastly more interactions, it’s a problem. also in nearly all of the episodes when alec has scenes with other mains- and magnus is not there- magnus is not mentioned. not so when it’s vice versa.

why not count any supporting characters you may be saying? because that’s not what i hear everyone demanding for alec or the others, is it? because he didn’t interact with raphael, his supposed son, in s1, or at all after 3x01 to the actual finale. because aside from her bringing madzie over in 3x11, catatrina and and him didn’t speak in 3b. she wasn’t even introduced until 3a (so 2 seasons w/o any friends.) they only spoke in 4 scenes total in all of s3. she was his best man, yet that’s not important enough to show on screen. ragnor was literally only 1 episode. who’s left- his jealous, bitter pathetic rival or his father who has obvious gross, creepy incestuous, jealous feelings for him. or alec’s mother, who only had scenes with him for the same reason maia/ jordan had all those scenes- to give them something to do away from the group/ main plotlines. why couldn’t magnus and maia had scenes together also or instead? and being bffs with his bf’s mom but not getting to even TALK to his parabatai, the person alec’s closest to platonically, let alone be friends, is truly beyond words. and also harry and matt are only 5 years apart (kat/ dom have more of an age difference) so i’m tired of the writers/ fans keeping alec in the playpen with his younger co-stars while magnus is separated to only older ones.

and also i just really don’t care about supporting characters. i see them as just taking screentime away from the mains, specifically the downworlder mains, who are already running on limited time. look at 3x13 when they want to do a whole heidi arc, who gets cut- magnus. or in 3x17 when they want to introduce helen and aline, i resented them right off the bat for getting twice as much screentime than magnus, a main character, in that important episode for him. throughout the whole show, whenever supporting characters are getting screentime, it always means magnus, maia, and luke are not. that’s not good.

some final thoughts, nearly every single malec fan spent the entire 9 month hiatus from 3a to 3b relentlessly saying alec needs interactions. as if he didn’t get huge bonding arcs with clary and jace in s1 and 2a and 3a. as if he doesn’t talk to and go places and do things with clary, jace, and izzy nearly every single episode, every single season since the beginning. mighty handy to not count the 3 of them when you want to cry “alec has no friends” every single day, as if he hasn’t had an enemy to friendship arc with clary 3 times in 3 seasons. as if he hasn’t had a dying, can’t live without you arc with jace 3 times in 3 seasons. as if he doesn’t hug jace twice more than magnus per half season. as if he doesn’t have izzy there to lean on and talk to. funny how siblings don’t count as friends when it’s mighty convenient that’s they’re the only mains to have siblings. i would kill, KILL, for magnus to be even talk to jace and izzy let alone be real friends, yet fans are taking their friendships with alec for granted, while simultaneously saying they’re robbed of the parabatai dynamic. that’s rich.

if alec having scenes every other ep, and melodramatic arcs every other half season, wasn’t such a guarantee the fans have learned they could count on, nobody would say that his siblings and clary don’t count. but everyone knew they could say that because we know it wouldn’t be taken away. i mean, look at the stark siblings in game of thrones. they never interacted, and the entire fandom cried about that being the most important friendships to show, but it wasn’t shown. this fandom needs to put things in perspective and stop taking the lightwoods sibs and the shadowhunters squad dyamic for granted and realize that magnus and maia don’t get even a minuscule fraction of that. also want to add that simon got plenty of constant sturdy dynamics too, with clary, jace, luke, maia, and izzy. and fans got their alec/ simon content and yet still so ungrateful. i beg the malecs to compare what magnus gets before complaining.

[im-out-of-it]

season 2, episode 2 “a door into the dark” part five I think

130. magnus did not say that Simon lmao

131. anyone would be lucky to have Magnus as their sponsor- I mean mentor- FRIEND

132. well Valentine has killed an innocent wolf but that took care of simons other problem

133. MY ALEC

134. next Alec will be fighting for his life all because jace chose to leave. MAKE THAT MAKE SENSE

135. here are some I probably forgot

136. I’ve saved two of these drafts and THEY KEEP DISAPPEARING STOP IT TUMBLR

137. but I do want to state how much I love the show versions of almost everyone but not CLACE- though they are better than their show counterparts

138. the friendship Magnus has with Raphael and Simon is so sweet. it’s nice that Alec has a voice most of the time and that Izzy received more love and storylines and purpose. I love that Maia also got more screen time as well 💓 and I cannot wait to see her

139. I’ll probably end it here because I’m so tired of trying to remember what I wrote smh but here are some Alec and Izzy appreciation (I FUCKING LOVE THEM)

140. I don’t know what episode this is but I love the same exact eye roll and family trait

AND ALSO THIS BECAUE SERIOUSLY ALEC (I forgot the first one and how I feel and have and clary when they talk plus exist and have is dead to all of us lmao)

okayyyyyyyy so 140 was the number and thank you for joining why do they make Alec suffer and why can’t jace and clary just stay away debate and discussion and list time thing!!!!!!! and I seriously have to finish this because my cat is yelling at me 😭 but I’ll try to do the next one aka Alec almost dies for a worthless jace in a couple days 💓 thank you again to anyone who reads what I post. y’all don’t know what it means to me 😌🥹

GIVE MY MAN ALEC AND MAGNUS A BREAK

[bytheangell]

Sending some prompts & hoping one of them sparks some creativity. Would love to read some new fic from you! :) All SH because that’s where my brain’s at currently: Magnus/Alec - “You should sleep.” - “I’m not human, therefore, I do not require sleep.” # Simon/Raphael – A sudden explosion # Izzy/Simon - “Don’t tell me you’re fine, I can see the blood!” # Maia/Catarina – I realize this the fourth time I showed up at your door needing to be patched up…have you considered giving out discount cards?

(Read on AO3)

Maia knocks on the door in front of her quietly at first, knowing there's a 50/50 chance there's a sleeping kid inside. When there's no answer, she knocks again, a little louder this time, stopping when she hears the shuffle of feet approaching from the other side.

"Again?" Catarina says with a sigh in lieu of a greeting at the sight of several unhealed wounds on Maia's arms and face. Even as she says it she steps aside to let Maia in without hesitation.

“I realize this is the fourth time I’ve shown up at your door needing to be patched up…" Maia admits. "Have you considered giving out discount cards?”

"Discount for what? You aren't even paying," Cat counters, but the tone of her voice is friendly, and teasing. "And you know I don't do this for just anyone."

"I certainly hope not," Maia gives Cat a knowing smirk as she makes herself at home on Catarina's sofa, wounds facing up for full transparency and easier access.

Maia can practically feel the heat that rises from Catarina's cheeks at that, followed quickly by the chill of cool blue magic settling over her injuries.

They aren't terrible anymore - that was earlier tonight when she had to break up a fight that showed no signs of stopping without intervention, leaving her to use all of her remaining energy to heal a couple broken bones over the surface cuts.

"Isn't there anything I can say to convince you to stop being so reckless?" Cat asks as the last of the open wounds seals itself shut.

"No," Maia admits. "But you could ask me to stay and keep me out of trouble the rest of tonight?"

It's said with an air of confident flirtation, but the end still lilts up, wondering if the answer might be no.

Catarina assesses Maia quickly before answering.

"You know you're always welcome here, Maia."

"Good," Maia says, fully relaxing for the first time since she arrived. For all her talk, she's suddenly exhausted. Catarina, with all her healing instincts, immediately senses the shift.

"I have a t-shirt you can wear to bed. Come on, my dear."

It doesn't take much convincing for Maia to follow Catarina's lead, leaning on her ever-so-slightly on their way down the hallway.

Maia’s asleep before her head even hits the pillow.

Hi shakthi! what do you feel about royalty/ fairytale au's? The idea of any variations of prince!Magnus au always gets me. -luxxmagnus

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! i love royalty au when it’s set in a diff universe and i dont always go for modern royalty, but a few of them i’ve read are well done so it’s really dependent on the way it’s written! but i’ve got a few must haves for a royalty au that get me like 😍 

sorry this is messy and all over the place sgkagbkdag

MAGICAL PRINCE MAGNUS AHHHHHHHH okay so obviously prince magnus>>>> because the aesthetic of prince magnus in fancy clothes, with an intricate crown and beautiful jewellery!!! also it means we can get courtship! and political intrigue! he still has magic because i say so!! also because magnus is so perfect he’d be the type of prince with a great relationship with his people so we’d get magnus being the sweetheart he is! also prince magnus overthrowing his father, the tyrannical king asmodeus????? UGH PERFECTION!!!!!! also i’d like to think that after asmodeus is overthrown, magnus still is not yet of age to be crowned king so ragnor (his older cousin, and no dont ask how they’re related) is the regent but really magnus has a lot of input in the ruling and ragnor is there as more of a formality and an advisor to magnus? cat, raphael, and dot are also members of the royal court and are magnus’ closest advisors and they have their own little family you know? also magnus’ mom died of a sickness when magnus was young and it was tragic and he was really broken by it because he loved his mother so much. so asmodeus tries to raise magnus to be the perfect weapon but thanks to his heart of gold and his found family, he doesn’t become the monster his father says he is. he wants to lead his kingdom to greatness, and do his best to help his people recover from asmodeus’ rule and move forward. 

WARRIOR PRINCE ALEC HELL YEAH so with alec i like the idea of him being the crown prince of a neighbouring kingdom and he and magnus meet and it’s like Instant Sparks and they fall in love at first sight, as they tend to do, and it’s amazing. alec would be the prince who has a reputation of being stoic and cold and closed off but he’s just under the weight of all the expectations you know? plus i feel like his kingdom would be a kingdom of warriors and so he’s also excellent in combat and gets a reputation as an amazing archer and strategist. and it’s hard to please the lightwood parents who are forever comparing alec to jace and belittling him, and it’s tough but he does it for izzy and max, so they don’t take the pain. (alec lightwood is the best big brother ever). and he’s got all these ideas to open up idris and form proper alliances with the neighbouring kingdoms, to unify and bring peace to his people.  

FANCY ROYAL BALL FOR LIKE SOMEONE’S ENGAGEMENT IDK IT’S NOT RELEVANT BUT THAT IS WHERE MALEC MEET it’s the 18th birthday of idk clary who’s a princess of some other kingdom idk it’s not relevant the exact occasion and the only thing that matter is this is where all the romance get set up! so it’s a big diplomatic thing and the leader and/or their heirs are expected to attend and magnus goes to represent edom with the immortal squad, and alec is there with izzy (and jace but they just ignore him after he runs after some poor girl to dance wth her). alec exchanges pleasantries with a few of the other guests but he’s not really there for gossip, trying to discuss alliances and trade agreements. magnus is asked to dance by many suitors, but he’s not looking to start a relationship nor to fuel the rumour mill so he politely declines and carries on mingling and soon enough the two princes meet and it’s like magic. magnus makes a terribly cheesy pun in response to a stranger at the bar’s sarcastic retort at some pompous duke and oh no he’s hot!!!! they both smile and introduce themselves with a distinct lack of effortless flair for magnus, or the calm composure typical of alec. they get to talking and it’s easy to see that neither of them have experienced this kind or ease and comforting familiarity when talking to someone outside of their inner circles. 

whilst magnus and alec are falling in love over the course of a conversation, there is some hilarious shenanigans as maia, raphael, meliorn, and simon find themselves tangled in a love quadrangle as they all feel so drawn to one another, taking turns to dance with one another before retreating to their friend groups to be like “they are all so beautiful and sweet and kind please help!!!!” and so ensues one of the most elaborate slow burn romances the royal courts have seen in ages (the betting pool is also exceptionally large and is won by meliorn who with raphael, started more than half the rumours in order to stir the pot and collect the winnings and spoil their partners). 

so anyway back to malec, they talk and have a few drinks and all is well and good and still pretty calm until alec picks up the way magnus is swaying to the music and tapping his feet to the beat, so alec asks magnus to dance and leads him to the dancefloor where they dance the night away, alec more than happy to twirl magnus around the dancefloor and make him giggle and blush, showing him off to everyone else. realising that they’ve attracted quite a fair bit of attention, they decide to steal away to an empty garden and continue dancing in the moonlight, the night is pure and utter perfection, and they part somewhat reluctantly, wanting to spend more time with one another, but also eager for the next day where they have agree to spend the day together. alec steels himself to press a brief, sweet, chaste kiss to magnus’ cheek before leaving to escort a tired and tipsy isabelle back to their guest chambers. magnus is left blushing, hand pressed to his cheek where alec’s warm lips pressed a gentle kiss that gave him butterflies.

oh my god this is not what i set out to write im in too deep now kdsbvfvasjbvjsav sorry may

COURTSHIP!!!! i desperately need courtship rituals!! like alec sending magnus elaborate flower arrangements with sweet, affectionate messages in flower language, magnus sending alec charmed tokens like a simple necklace or leather bracelet that has protective and healing spells woven into it!! them sending love letter to one another! they spend a lot of time together at social events and at “diplomacy meetings” where yes, they do discuss trade and alliances and what not but also it’s an excuse for them to spend at least a week with one another in either kingdom and they go on picnic dates on palace grounds, sneak out of their rooms at night to stargaze, wander through towns and eat street food (and alec always buys magnus little gifts and tokens that remind him of his love) and they train together, teaching each other the fighting styles of their respective kingdoms, and yes, there is a gratuitous alec teaching magnus archery scene because im fucking weak!!! and alec likes to hang out in the royal apothecary in edom and watch magnus make a whole bunch of cool potions, invent spells, and write magical theory. magnus in turn, is very fond of going to the training sessions of idris’ elite warriors–the shadowhunters, to watch alec obliterate a whole bunch of soldiers at various combat skills. 

BATTLE COUPLE!!!!!! so they’re together for months and all is good but then valentine happens and has been getting his forces gathered during this whole thing and even before it (im just stupid and forgot to mention it sdkfvbabhvjabv) and anyway he attacks!! and the crown princes of idris and edom unite, together with the other young royals from the neighbouring kingdoms and their armies to defeat valentine. and the two of them are damn near impossible to beat, alec with his honed-from-birth warrior skills, and magnus with his proficiency in both magical and non-magical combat. and it goes well at first but then the tides turn and they have to split up and they part and it’s this moment of “i don’t know if we’ll survive this” and they almost go tosay i love you but then alec is like “i’ll tell you when we survive this, so please come back to me, and i’ll come back to you” and they’re both crying a little but they share one last kiss before separating.

the battle ends and they’re desperate to find each other, tearing through the battlefield to find their love. and they finally see each other and run into each other’s arms, both looking a little worse for wear, and they pull away from the embrace long enough for alec to blurt out “i love you” with so much conviction and surety that magnus subconsciously shakes his head, disbelieving that someone could love him of all people, before confessing his own love for alec. they kiss and it feels like relief and home and hope. 

IDK HOW TO DESCRIBE BUT THE THING WHERE THEY’RE A DISGUSTINGLY CUTE COUPLE AND THEY’RE BASICALLY ENGAGED BUT NOTHING OFFICIAL

so they recover from the battle and they mourn their fallen, celebrate their victories, and bring justice to the invaders. this young generation of leaders more or less formally ascends to power and usher in a new era of peace, collaboration, and unity (the fact that there are so many inter-kingdom royal romances certainly doesn’t hurt the alliance)

in this time of peace, cat and dot get married and adopt madzie, the polycule are living their best lives, and izzy gets together with clary. 

magnus and alec continue their courtship for a couple more years until they both turn of age to be crowned kings. alec plans an elaborate proposal that sweeps magnus off his feet and just a month after their respective coronations, they marry and their kingdoms are merged as one. and they all lived happily ever after

[minhkhoas]

happy tsc

i felt bad for making u all sad so here are happy things :] most of these r happy resolutions to the last post but some r just random happy shit

kit finally being able to sleep peacefully at night because ty is right there next to him. ty never has to worry about kit leaving again.

alec and magnus feeling safe leaving their kids with other people like maia or lily because finally, they know they can trust people. they’ve put meliorn and sebastian’s betrayals in the past, and put their family first.

clary knowing that jace is safe and is never leaving her; their wedding runes prove that raziel has no intention of taking his wish back. jace has no worries of being connected to him again, because his wedding rune has covered the spot where the binding rune used to be.

simon never has to worry about forgetting anything. izzy insists on taking pictures, videos, and doing anything to document everything they do. besides, they fell in love twice, so who’s to say it couldn’t happen a third time?

emma and julian are finally happy for the same reason. wedding runes would be blocked on parabatais, and they had no trouble. there’s no more danger.

tessa’s worries disappear after the silent brothers repeatedly confirm that jem is stable and will live out the rest of his life as an (inactive) shadowhunter.

mark finally feeling safe because diana made gwyn swear that he and the hunt would leave mark alone; it wasn’t hard to make him promise.

james is able to use his abilities to his advantage, without worry, because he knows that matthew is there to pull him out of it if he goes too far.

helen no longer fears the ocean, because her siblings help her slowly get over her anxiety and panic about it. as it turns out, she’s rather good at surfing.

julian still makes extra pancakes, but now they’re for other new family members. he watches with astonishment but fondness when aline and kit simultaneously drown their pancakes with syrup.

lily and ragnor becoming friends over their close bonds with raphael. they remember the happy memories they made with him, and know he would be glad that they’re both no longer alone.

when kit has an occasional drink, jem is able to stay calm because he knows his son is strong enough to control himself. they trust each other.

isabelle no longer wakes up sobbing because she’s had a nightmare about her baby brother, max. instead, she dreams about her new family members. she’s happy, and she knows her little brother is watching over her like she watched over him.

For the ask game thing, Shadowhunters! ♡

thank you!! 💖 also, I mixed in the books a bit as well, I don't really want to separate them.

Leave a TV show or movie in my ask box and I’ll tell you…

favorite male character: Alec Lightwood. I mean, he's (was) a sarcastic side character who also turned out to be gay. he's exactly my type. also, does Jem count? he was only in the show as Brother Zachariah, but I won't let that stop me. honoroable mentions: Meliorn, Raphael and show!Jonathan (love a good villain).

favorite female character: Isabelle Lightwood, love of my life, my sunshine on a rainy day, my moon and stars in a dark night, my one and only. I mean... I named one of my kittens after her. honorable mentions go to show!Clary, Lilith and show!Maryse's character development.

least favorite character: in the books I hated Clary and Luke, but the show made me love them, so... maybe Aldertree? idk... I never really liked Maia tbh. didn't like her in the books, she was.... okay in the show

prettiest character: *screams in bi* also I wanted to add separate gifs of them but this was one of the firsts and it's perfect, so...

(her whip?? his knife in the thigh holster?? the soft moment in that ☝️ gif? their training session????? *bi panic*)

funniest character: Simon. in the books I hated him, I almost threw CoLS across the room when it started with his POV, but in the show? he was perfect. even made me ship sizzy a little bit (although I'd give it all up for clizzy)

favorite season: whichever had Will Tudor. s2? I think. but s3 had Jem, so it's a tough choice. honestly, I liked the whole series. all seasons had different vibes and I liked how they mixed in the books, and not just TMI, but TID too.

favorite episode: it's been a while so I don't remember the details too well (yes this is an excuse to rewatch). This World Inverted aka the opposite world!AU was 👌. the one where Magnus and Valentine switched bodies. literally every episode with Will Tudor was fantastic (when he went full badass down on the prison level?? amazing). the second to last episode, with the alliences betwern Shadowhunters and Downworlders bc it was great and also the CoG reference. and the series finale, obviously.

favorite romantic ship: malec ever since I first read CoB and I loved them in the show as well. and the show made me ship clace too, which was unexpected. and I loved Izzy and Raphael, sue me. they could have been great if things were a little different.

favorite family ship: Luke and Clary, Izzy-Jace-Alec

favorite friendship: Alec and Lydia? I liked them. also Luke-Magnus-Raphael(-Meliorn?)

worst ship: Simon and Clary. I can't get over that...
