Summary
Magnus has come across a lot of suspicious people in his line of work as an investigative journalist, but none quite as suspicious as his coworker, Alec Lightwood.
That's why he spends all day staring at him.
No other reason.

Summary
Arabica-Cadabra is Alec's new favourite coffee shop since moving back to New York, mostly because of Magnus, the owner. One unexpected meeting after another and things between them are getting more complicated rather than easier. What will it take to get them on the same page? (Magnus' son and Alec's sister as co-conspirators, that's what it's going to take!)

Summary
Magnus still doesn’t open his eyes or emerge from his hiding place, just on principle, but the confusion wakes him up enough that he could have. “Did you just kiss my knee?” he asks.
5 times Alec gets creative with kisses + 1 time Magnus does.

Summary
One of the world’s largest retailers is opening a store on his street. A bookstore. He looks down at the article in his hand again and catches sight of a phrase: “We hope that people will see this as more than a bookstore, and hope to foster a sense of community.” As if Henry Fox-Mountchristen has any concept of what community means.
Alex very narrowly does not break something.
(When global mega-retailer Mountchristen opens a new location—led by the infuriatingly attractive and insufferable Henry Fox-Mountchristen—near his LGBTQ-focused bookshop in Soho, Alex's comfortable life is turned upsided down. Luckily, he has one of his best friends to turn to: a guy he met online and knows only as H. Meanwhile, Henry is battling against his family to make a positive difference in the world and falling further in love with a man he's never met. But... what if they changed that?
Yes, it's a You've Got Mail AU.)

Summary
There it was in big bold letters, painted on his bathroom mirror with deep red lipstick. Someone had broken into his home just to write a threatening message, and for what? Just to scare him?
After having his house broken into just days after his naked pictures are splashed on the front page of every trash magazine in the country, Magnus is done. The last thing he wants is to have an FBI agent move into his flat and follow him around like a bodyguard. Even when said FBI agent turns out to be both unfairly gorgeous and kind.
As things unravel will they learn to open up and trust each other or will the secret horrors in their pasts keep them apart? And what happens when the threat turns out to be more than just words?

Summary
Magnus is turned into a dragon and appears to be stuck that way. (This is not how he pictured his Tuesday going.)
Alec is called to handle a disturbance that involves a dragon and meets a creature that is scared and in need of protection.
Within minutes of meeting each other, they are inseparable, with Alec taking responsibility for the small dragon, and Magnus taking advantage of the protection offered by the shadowhunter.
Neither of them is expecting a convenient arrangement for them both to evolve into something much, much more.

Summary
Modern-Day Fairytale Mermaid AU. Barely esteemed, underpaid, and overworked Marine Biologist Magnus Bane does not expect to find a peculiar sea creature while living in an undersea lab off the coast of Florida, which leads to a bizarre series of events with him not only discovering and bonding with a new species but also trying to conceal said discovery. Can romance truly blossom twenty thousand leagues under the sea?
(Spoiler alert: Yes, it can. I’ve spared you from reading ~70k words. You’re welcome.)

Summary
The Lightwoods have been on the road hunting since their parents and youngest brother died in a mysterious house fire — a fire started by a man with yellow-green eyes, like a cat's. They stumbled upon this world of ghosts, ghouls and things that go bump in the night by accident, and so now they hunt these things, so that other people won't have to face the anguish of seeing their loved ones die. And above all, they hunt the thing that started the fire, the thing that tore their family apart. They've been on the road for a year now, but they've finally got a name for the monster — the Prince of Hell, Magnus Bane.
What Izzy and Jace don't know, of course, is how Alec got hold of that name.

Summary
Everyone has their own resolution for the s02e18 break up. Here's mine. It comes in moments, not grand gestures.
"What would he have done, Magnus?" Jace asked coolly, one foot already out the door. "If it had been you, if you were the one to mess up, what would he have done?"
They both knew the answer to that, and it broke Magnus' heart all over again.
"Stayed," Magnus finally whispered, shattering whatever illusions he'd been clinging to since the day he left Alec at the infirmary.
"He would have stayed."

Summary
Magnus Bane is a "dating guru" with a magic touch and a 100% success rate. Isabelle and Jace hire him to help their brother, claiming that Alec needs help to get a date for the office Christmas party. Honestly, Magnus is surprised that Alec needs any help at all, since Alec is handsome, considerate, funny, sweet, and-
Magnus is so fucking screwed.

Summary
Raphael closed his door to get back to work and Magnus turned to their living room, tilting his head and scanning the bare looking room. No this couldn't wait. He needed that tree and he needed it right now. Even if that meant carrying the damn thing home all by himself. He grabbed his coat and keys and made his way out of their apartment. When he reached the door of the building, he noticed that the snow had gotten stronger but that didn't hold him back from leaving anyway. His mind was set on getting this tree and nothing was gonna stop him now.

Summary
In his years of being a wedding planner, Magnus has had some weird requests –including, but not limited to: a nudist ceremony, a dress made entirely of balloons, an underwater service and, on one memorable occasion, a wedding entirely designed to join in holy matrimony two drooling bulldogs adorned in matching suits.
In retrospect, and considering all the ludicrous demands they have received over the years, being asked to put together a ceremony on the docks outside a frankly dubious looking Chinese restaurant isn’t the most bizarre thing he has heard.
Being asked out by the groom, though, undeniably takes the crown.

Summary
'The message is incredibly explicit and surprisingly specific and nothing like Alec has ever received before. Not that he's opposed to the suggestion of the words and the promise they hold. But the number, even with the New York area code, isn't one he recognises. Alec's not sure what the etiquette is for responding to an unsolicited sext. Is there even etiquette for that?'
Or the one in which Alec receives a sext from an unknown number and something pushes him to sext back.
