Summary
“Yes,” Magnus said, gentle but immovable. “You do. You need someone to take the weight. Someone to give you rules. Structure. Safety.”
“I’m not a child.”
“No, but you’re exhausted. Worn out from being strong for everyone else. You don’t want power. You want permission.”
That was… too close.
Alec shook his head, trying to laugh. “You’re talking about, what, like kink stuff? Whips and collars? That’s not—”

Summary
"Despite purposefully cultivating this image, this mask of a perfect Shadowhunter, perfect son, it didn't stop him from being irrationally disappointed, upset even, when his siblings couldn't see underneath the facade. He wanted them to look at him, see the way his smiles never reached his eyes, how his shoulders hiked up to his ears when he had to speak in front of people, how his hands clenched into fists when his parents started making disparaging comments about Downworlders even as he nodded stiffly along.
He wanted them to see all the tells he hadn't quite managed to train himself out of yet, see all the jagged edges where his mask didn't quite seamlessly blend into skin.
But they didn't. And so he was alone.
It was this loneliness that was a marked fact of Alec’s life, an enduring and unchangeable truth about his existence."

or;
Alec struggles to reconcile his sexuality with his Shadowhunter identity.
