Happy Birthday Alec Lightwood! Our salt king, consul of the clave, and all around best shadowhunter!

Here he is surrounded by some things that I felt represented him :)

He looked to Alec, who was standing between his parents, his stance confident and relaxed, his mouth curved in a smile at something one of them had said.

"Maybe one day it will be just you and me, my little blueberry," Magnus said conversationally. "But not for a long, long time. We'll take care of him, you and I. Won't we?"

He put the bottle down to one side and pressed his lips to the fuzzy curls covering his son's head. He heard Max make a small murmuring sound in his ear. "Don't worry," Magnus murmured back. "We're all in this together."

For always hoping for a good tomorrow, a better tomorrow for the world and himself, and finally living in the reality that he dreamt of once, finding the love that he deserves. Magnus, you deserve all the happiness.

Happiest Birthday Magnus!!!!!

girls don't want flowers, they want magnus bane explaining to kit why love feels so painful at times but that it’s also supposed to make u feel like you’re coming back home after a long day and telling kit that he learned what true love was because of alec :[

[lurafita]

(cracky secret serial killer just found out by his boyfriend scenario featuring malec)

Alec: "I never wanted you to find out. I may not have the right to ask this, but could you give me about an hour before you call the police? I swear I will never trouble you again."

Magnus: "You want to break up with me?"

Alec: "I don't *want* to, but-"

Magnus: "Was it something I did?"

Alec: "What? No! It's something I did, obviously."

Magnus: "Are you seriously pulling the 'it's not you it's me' card on me right now?"

Alec, bloody knife clutched in hand while clothes are bloody as he stands in a pool of blood next to the person he just butchered: "...kinda."

[carelessflower]

believe in my heart there some small bakery with that only didn’t go bankrupt because alec was the only one to enjoy their desserts magnus paid a ludicrous amount everytime to keep them in business

[parabatrishum]

if i had a nickel for every time a (half) demon desperately kissed a (half) angel to get them to stay with them, i'd have two nickels.

which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

[loki-nightfire]

I have 3! New pics I totally forgot to share 😩 typical

Hi, how are you doing?

Can we get some domestic Malec with a kitten? Alec coming home from a patrol with an abandoned kitten or something?

This is in my Quarrel universe which is where Alec and Magnus meet over Alec rescuing a puppy that turns out to be a hellhound

“Shadowhunter.” Magnus says, managing to keep his voice cool even as he greedily devours his shadowhunter with hungry, gold eyes. “What do I owe the displeasure of your company?” He raises a brow and steps forward, waving away the bouncers who called him into the alley. As soon as they’re gone, Magnus sets up a barrier of sound and vision.

Alexander looks as bedraggled as the first time Magnus saw him. Worse, there is a sheepish expression on his face and Magnus already wants to press him against the alley wall and kiss him senseless.

He already knows the need is only going to increase as soon as Alexander opens his stupidly kissable mouth and says something ridiculously charming.

As if on cue, Alexander opens his jacket and shows the kitten he’s got clinging to his shirt. There’s a flash of amber and a possessive little hiss as the little creature crawls its bedraggled way up to Alexander's shoulder. It crawls into the side of his neck and hisses, little whiskers flaring with fire and Magnus sighs.

“Darling, isn’t Quarrel enough? Must we collect every single sentient and somewhat adorable demon that slips to us from Edom?”

“It was in a sewer, Magnus. Being chased by rat demons.” Alexander looks affronted, as if he can’t believe Magnus would stoop so low as to turn away a demonic hellcat.

“Oh of course, I didn’t realize the circumstances.” Magnus says dryly and then he opens a portal, using the shadows to encircle him and his boy and hiding them as they portal away.

Quarrel perks up in a way she only does for Alexander. Paws sliding and scrabbling across the floor as she barrels into his legs and knocks him against Magnus.

“Oh hello sweetheart.” Alexander says and he kneels, one hand holding the scraggly kitten and the other scratching Quarrel’s scruff. Magnus resigns himself to yet another evening of Alexander spending his first thirty minutes focused on Quarrel. Magnus ups it to half and hour and realizes that he will not be getting a shower with Alexander either, as his boy seems intent on cleaning the hellish little cat.

“I’ll get you the appropriate soaps.” Magnus says with a sigh, “and then you’re going to go lie naked on the bed.”

Alexander looks at him hopefully and Magnus swats his flank as he passes him, “Alexander, you’re getting a massage. You’ll be lucky if I fuck you before you have to go back to the institute.” It’s an empty threat but Alexander frowns, not willing to risk it. “Stop bringing in things that take your attention, darling. I'm not as generous as you think.”

Alexander scoffs and kisses Magnus’ cheek as he passes, like he thinks Magnus is being ridiculous.

Magnus resolves to mask Alexander and take him to Pandemonium and show his boy just how much Magnus is not joking.

If Magnus has to take Alexander to a sex club to fuck him without interruptions, then that’s what he’ll do.

Magnus has no interest in sharing Alexander or his identity, but sacrifices must be made and Magnus can keep Alexander hidden.

“What’s the little demon’s name?” Magnus asks, face pinched in a scowl as he watches Alexander pamper and pet the littlest addition to their family.

“I was thinking you might want to name him?” Alexander asks hopefully, hazel eyes wide as they stare up at Magnus. An amber set of eyes and one of umber join and Magnus is staring at two sets of longing, hopeful eyes and one spiteful one.

“Menace.”

Magnus mutters, because they’re all menaces.

“Oh, perfect.” Alexander coos, like he thinks Magnus is being complementary. “I love it.”

To Magnus’ surprise, Quarrel takes to the little beast with ease and delight. Menace rides around on Quarrel’s shoulders and the two of them follow Alexander about the lair like little demonic ducklings.

Alexander seems to enjoy it, if the way he softens more and more each time they bump into him.

If I had a nickel for every time an angel broke up with his demonic boyfriend in a completely devastating way (that he clearly did not want to do but convinced himself was the only righteous thing to do) in a bookshop, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, if you think about it, but still-

Happy Birthday Magnus Bane! Our glitter king, High Warlock of Brooklyn, probably the overall saviour of the shadow world :3

To match the piece made for Alec's birthday, here he is surrounded by some things that I felt represented him! ✨

Can we appreciate the media that actually makes shipping optional not the only way to survive

explanation

When the canon ships are actually good and work exceptionally well

Example

Percy and Annabeth (pjo) , malec (Shadowhunters) , ineffable husbands (good omens )

Like you can ship them but you know they are the best

Clary: Why didn't you say weddings?

[lurafita]

Immortal Malec established relationship!

canon divergent where Malec is an established relationship and Alec is also immortal (vamp, seelie, warlock, other) and the two have been together for centuries, and then the shadowhunter plot happens. And Magnus is like: "Darling, these young shadowhunters need our help desperately. This is Clarissa-" And Alec, who is not a fan of shadowhunters at all, is like: "Oh god don't name them, you will just grow attached."
