Next door is only a footstep away by HopeSilverheart for half_bakedboy
Fandoms: Shadowhunters (TV), The Shadowhunter Chronicles - All Media Types

Summary
The first thing he noticed was how good of a dancer his new neighbour was. The man was dancing around carelessly, clearly singing along to something as he moved around elegantly. His steps were precise in a way Alec could appreciate. Steadiness and skill were two of his biggest turn-ons, especially on such a beautiful face and gorgeous body.
Those were the second things he noticed. The man was a vision, all golden skin and colourful hair and clothes that stuck to his body as he weaved around his living room. Alec had never been one to spy on his neighbours, but he might just have to make an exception for that one.
Or: Alec has a new neighbour (and a new crush).

Summary
“Alexander!”
The man looked up, and Magnus was lost again. Seeing him from a distance had been a pleasant shock, but this was something else entirely. As soon as he spotted Magnus, Alec’s face lit up and a small smile curled at his lips. Despite his formal attire, he looked relaxed and happy to be there and Magnus wondered – not for the first time – if it was possible for him to already be in love.
Or: Alec and Magnus go on their first date; Magnus is very smitten.

Summary
Ever since her brother had taken control of the family business, she had known she would eventually become one of his trusted lieutenants. And now that she was of legal age, there was nothing stopping her from taking her rightful position as his second-in-command.
She trailed her fingers over the surface of his desk, humming softly. Alec had told her to wait for someone to come get her, and she was eager to meet whoever had gained his trust enough to become his right-hand man. More than anything, she was looking forward to overthrowing them.

Mightier than the Thorn by HopeSilverheart for half_bakedboy

Tags
Summary
“I’ve only let three people leave this organisation unthreatened and unharmed, and I’m not sure why you think you’ll be the fourth.”
“Because you don’t want to hurt me.”
Her words rang sure and true, and Alec barely held back a grimace. He wanted to deny her statement, wanted to tell her that he wouldn’t hesitate to hurt her to make sure his secrets and people were safe. He wanted to, but he couldn’t, because Helen was right. Alec was determined enough to hurt the people he cared about if he thought it would keep others safe. Aline, on the other hand, wasn’t. Or she was, but not when it came to Helen.
Or: Helen wants to leave the Lightwoods behind; Alec isn't so easily fooled.

Revenge is sweeter (with you by my side) by HopeSilverheart for half_bakedboy
Fandoms: Shadowhunters (TV)

Summary
Well, this place is positively dull,” Lydia pouted, and Aline snorted, glancing up at the imposing skyscraper in front of them. She was quite sure this was the first time anyone had referred to it as ‘dull’. “Oh come on, you have to admit it doesn’t live up to our Headquarters. It’s probably all superficial on the outside and boring on the inside, just like its employees.”
This time, Aline outright laughed at her sister’s words. She sometimes forgot how light-hearted and funny her sister could be when she wasn’t trying so hard to be the perfect criminal.
“Are you ready for this, sweetheart?” the blonde asked, and Aline barely hesitated before nodding. “Well then, let the pettiness begin.”
Or: After Helen breaks up with her in the worst possible way, Aline gets her revenge.

Summary
He closed his eyes and breathed in deeply, trying to swallow back the sounds that threatened to spill past his lips.
When he opened them again, his gaze settled on his window. Or more specifically, on his curtains – his open curtains. His heart skipped a beat as he let his eyes trail towards the neighbouring apartment complex. Magnus’ curtains were open too and, unsurprisingly, Alec’s boyfriend was home.
Home and staring at him with horrified eyes.
Or: Magnus finally finds out what Alec really does for a living.

(Family is) A lot more than blood by HopeSilverheart for half_bakedboy
Fandoms: Shadowhunters (TV)
30 Jun 2020
Tags
Summary
“We should have dinner,” he blurted out, regretting the words as soon as they left his mouth. If the alarmed look on Alec’s face was anything to go by, he was just as enchanted by that idea as Magnus was. Which was to say, not a lot. “Oh come on, it could be nice! You could invite all your siblings, I could invite all of mine, and we would all spend a wonderful evening together. I have a feeling you would get along well with Ragnor, and you seem to think Isabelle and I would hit it off immediately. What could possibly go wrong?”
Alec snorted derisively, and Magnus grimaced. Alright, so a lot of things could go wrong, but now that the idea – however distasteful – had popped up in his mind, he wasn’t going to let it go until his boyfriend agreed to hosting the family dinner of the decade.
Or: Magnus and Alec meet their partner's families.

Summary
“Well it was,” Lydia sighed over-dramatically. Izzy rolled her eyes at her, already sick of this conversation. “But then I heard you argue with your brother again, and I’m suddenly not in a great mood anymore. Still arrogant enough to believe you’re better than me, Isabelle?”
“Still unwilling to fight me one-on-one to prove you’re not full of shit, Lydia?”
Or: Lydia and Isabelle are sent on a mission together. Things go... relatively well.

My love, I will not say goodbye by HopeSilverheart for half_bakedboy
Fandoms: Shadowhunters (TV), The Shadowhunter Chronicles - All Media Types
13 Jun 2020
Tags
Summary
When the words had slipped past his lips, a weak ‘Izzy’s injured’, Lydia’s heart had stopped. So much for keeping her feelings separate from everything else. So much for not letting love get in the way of logic.
As soon as he spoke, she was standing up and rushing out of the room, Alec leading the way to his apartment.
Or: Sometimes, it takes a near-death experience for feelings to come to light.

Summary
“Hello there.”
Clary squealed loudly and flinched away from the sudden voice, spinning around to face whomever had just scared the living daylights out of her. She had already opened her mouth, ready to scream at the person behind her, but she was stopped in her tracks by the sheer beauty of the woman she came face to face with.
Glossy blond hair, sparkling blue eyes, and a bright, mischievous smile; the woman looked like an angel, and Clary wasn’t sure what to do with herself.
Or: Clary meets two stunning women and has no idea what to do with herself.

Summary
“I wonder what your colleagues would think if they found out you brought a gun to work. Hell, I wonder what they would think if you published that story only for me to release some damning information about our relationship.”
“You would never do that.”
To anyone else, Helen would have sounded certain, but Aline knew the blonde better than that. She heard the slight waver in Helen’s voice, the way her blue eyes turned fearful and soft before they took on their usual diamond-sharp stare again. Helen wasn’t afraid of a lot, but she was definitely afraid of what Aline could do to her career.
Or: Aline and Helen are determined to hurt each other (no matter how much they still love each other)

Summary
“What on earth is going on here?”
Lydia and Isabelle exchanged a panicked glance, their eyes flickering between the guns on the floor and the blood pooling from Isabelle’s arm. Any hope of getting rid of the evidence before their girlfriend could find it disappeared when Clary took a step closer to them and gasped.
Or: Clary finds out about Lydia and Isabelle's night jobs.

Summary
When Isabelle and Lydia had told Clary that she would finally get to meet the mysterious Alec, brother and boss to the two women she loved, Clary hadn’t been sure what to expect.
The man was a crime lord, the leader of a dangerous organisation that killed people and did all sorts of illegal things. He was probably the deadliest person Clary would meet in her life, and she had no idea how to handle that. However, he was also Isabelle’s brother, a man who was apparently caring and attentive and always ready to save his siblings from whatever disaster they had caused. That, she knew how to handle.
Or: Clary finally meets the infamous Alec Lightwood and tries her best not to screw things up.

Summary
“Sorry,” Simon smiled sheepishly. “People always tell me I talk too much, but I’m trying to work on it!”
Instantly, Jace’s heart fluttered guiltily. He hadn’t wanted the other man to think Jace didn’t like hearing him talk. Really, there were few things he liked more in life than adorable men who smiled as brightly as Simon and could talk for hours without getting bored.
Or: Jace meets the mysterious and adorable Simon Lewis.

Summary
“Desperate to get rid of me, Mr…”
“Andrew,” he answered immediately, flushing darkly at his own eagerness. “I mean, Underhill. Andrew Underhill. And I’m not desperate to get rid of you at all, on the contrary, but Lydia is going to be waiting for me and I wouldn’t want to make us even later than-”
“I was teasing, Andrew,” the man chuckled, sending shivers crawling down Andrew’s spine. The way he had said his name should have been illegal.
Or: Andrew may be a criminal, but that doesn't mean pretty boys don't fluster him.

Summary
Jace was a protector at heart, and Simon loved that about him. However, it also meant he would need the extra boost tea could provide him with.
“You only make tea when you’re unsettled,” Jace spoke from behind him, startling Simon badly enough that he almost dropped the mug in his hands. Apparently, sudden noises were a no-go for now; he’d have to get that fixed soon enough. “You know, I was serious when I said you didn’t have to talk about this, but I’m your boyfriend, Si. I’ll always be here to listen if you need to get something off your chest.”
Or: Simon gets a little more involved in the criminal lifestyle than he anticipated, and Jace is there to help him through it.

Summary
Walking towards them at a steady pace was a young woman with dark hair, dark eyes, and a pout on her lips. She stuck her tongue out at Jem as she sidled up to Helen, leaning against the secretary’s counter and looking Helen up and down as though she were evaluating her.
“So you’re the infamous Helen Blackthorn Alec told us about,” Aline hummed, passing a cup of coffee over to Jem but never once letting her gaze stray from Helen’s face. “I have to say, he could have done a lot worse. Now, Jem, you’ll have to excuse me, but I can’t linger. I’m late enough as it is.”
Or: When Helen and Aline meet for the first time, an instantaneous connection is formed.

Summary
All in all, it should be a rather simple mission, but Lydia needed to make sure she let things drag a little longer than they usually did so she could build up the kind of atmosphere she needed with Isabelle. Killing and torturing was easy but seducing her princess at the same time would probably be a little trickier.
In the future, it would hopefully be second nature but for now, she needed to tread relatively carefully, which really wasn’t Lydia’s strong suit. It was one thing to flirt with Isabelle, to kiss her and tease her and let her know she found her attractive, but it was another to get her into bed and give her the pleasure she so desperately wanted underneath all those layers of arrogance and defence mechanisms.
Or: Lydia and Isabelle's first mission together ends in a rather pleasant manner.

Summary
“Andrew, you look absolutely ravishing.”
The man in question blushed brightly as Lorenzo let his gaze trail up and down his body unashamedly, clearly appreciating the view. It wasn’t that Andrew disliked being stared at like that, but it had been a while since he had been faced with someone who was so out of his league. So out of his league, and yet obviously attracted to him, which was both terrifying and very flattering.
“You look very handsome too,” he said, gesturing at Lorenzo’s burgundy suit and wavy hair and- god, he was gorgeous. “Thank you for inviting me out. I have to admit, I wasn’t sure you would want to take me on a date, considering how busy you probably are, but I’m very glad you did.”
Or: Andrew and Lorenzo go on their first date; sparks fly.
