    Summary

    Alec Lightwood, Alpha and proud midwife, is assigned to leave New York for a small town in the middle of nowhere to work with the pregnant Omega Magnus Bane. Problem is, Magnus is not the typical Omega and isn't easy to deal with, he doesn't need or like Alec and that is a very mutual feeling...or is it?

    Summary

    Answering an ad in the paper, desperately in need of money to pay the rent and also several other debts, Alexander Lightwood never would of thought he'd be sitting in front of the most beautiful man he'd ever seen in his life and being advised just what the job entails which is far from the private tutoring he thought he was applying for.

    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.

    Summary

    [“There’s this thing that you do,” Alec murmurs. “This power you have that makes you look indestructible.”

    “You know that’s not true,” says Magnus.

    “I do,” replies Alec, “But even then … there are times when I’m not so sure.”]

    1992, New York, a city hanging on to politically-tinged Cold War feelings. Alec Lightwood is a Corporate - a superhero for hire - jostling with a secret identity, holding on to a sense of a normal life, and the fact vigilantes keep turning up murdered in the gutters with no explanation.

    Things can only get worse when Magnus - an investigative journalist - starts peeling back Alec’s carefully-crafted mask … and then there’s the mysterious vigilante with the power to move things with his mind who keeps turning up wherever Alec goes - Alec just can’t cut a break.

    A neonoir slow-burn superheroes AU about identity, truth, and falling in love without knowing someone’s real name (ft. everyone has superpowers because I couldn’t help myself).

    Summary

    When Magnus woke up on this one fateful day his tongue felt like it was made out of sandpaper, his head like someone had used it as a hammer and his stomach like he’d swallowed a gallon of soap. He barely had the energy to get up but as it turned out the universe didn’t care that he had a hangover to nurse because it still sent him spiraling down a mess of misunderstandings, lies, and confusion. And honestly? He really didn’t have the nerve to deal with it all.
    So fuck social media, fuck trying to help others and fuck being in love.
    The only thing that doesn’t seem to work is him fucking Alexander because apparently the whole universe hates him and fate is set against him.
    Well, you know what?
    Fuck fate.

    Summary

    I took him from the battlefield that day, but he was never truly mine . . . even after I severed the parabatai rune, he still held a piece of himself away from me, but that final straw—that final word of ending to the story of Alexander Lightwood—that was enough for him to agree.

     

     

    A story depicting the relationship between Magnus Bane, a prince of Edom, and his prisoner of war, Alec Lightwood.

    Summary

    Magnus loves Alexander, his proud dragon Shadowhunter, and he knows that Shadowhunters don't display their relationships with collars the way Downworlders do. Magnus always thought he understood what that meant for him and Alec. As it turns out, Magnus didn't understand at all
    -
    In the early months of their relationship, Alec had let himself wonder about what kind of collar Magnus might offer him. Sometimes, he'd even indulge in the thought that Magnus would coordinate Alec’s collars with his own outfit, marking it clear who Alec belonged to every time they went out.
    And then Magnus doesn't ask.
    And doesn't ask.
    And doesn't ask.

    Summary

    Magnus Bane is in pain, to say the least. His powers are gone, his position as High Warlock given to a person he despises, and the love of his immortal life leaving him to his own devices. As he is about to remove his memories about his beloved Alexander Lightwood, Magnus is stopped by Asmodeus.

    This follows S3 E19 to the point of the conversation between Magnus and Asmodeus, but not how it Ended.

    What if instead of going with his Father, Magnus defeats Asmodeus in his apartment, gets his powers back, then flees to Los Angeles? What if he changes his identity, becomes Dr. Benson "Blue" Kwan, and meets people from the 118?

    Living with mundanes, saving lives rather than taking them, saving people with knowledge instead of magic—will his past haunt him in Los Angeles? will he continue to be at immortality's behest ?

    Summary

    He turned sharply to face her, putting her in the direct path of his sudden fury. “I do know, Cat! I know that the one person who I thought knew me on a level few have ever achieved didn’t see me beneath that facade. But I also know that I will never get his side of the story or find peace with what happened because he’s dead! Alexander is dead! He’s…he’s…”

     

    A SH 2x12 canon-divergent story where Magnus isn’t rescued by Alec and is executed in Valentine’s body by the Clave. His last moments of life are that of absolute agony…until the moment he wakes up in Edom and in the company of Asmodeus.

    Given a second chance at immortal life, Magnus returns to New York only to discover that, despite the seemingly fleeting moments he’d spent in death, decades have passed in the mortal realm and the love of his life is gone. The only thing Alec left behind were letters, marking the passing of days: Day 3, Day 64, Day 378, Day 1104.

    Through Alec’s words, the events after Magnus’ passing begin to unfold. And with each painful letter, a hopeful path back to the man who had the makings to be Magnus’ greatest love begins to be revealed.

    Summary

    Alec’s not quite sure when it happened. There was so much time between them, so many moments he could point to and say Yes, there. That’s when I fell in love with Magnus Bane. He’d be lying to himself if he said one of those moments wasn’t the first time they met.

    ...or immortal friends pining for each other over centuries.

    Summary

    All that is known for certain is that when both soulmates are twenty-five or older- on the younger one’s birthday- the thing most precious to them will fly to their soulmate’s heart. Usually it’s not something as dangerous as an arrow, but Magnus supposes he’s just lucky that way.
