Summary
Unpacking sucked. And Magnus had only brought like half of his things. Okay, maybe two-thirds. But whatever, it didn’t matter. What did matter was that Magnus was sweating from carrying boxes, the cottage had no air conditioning, and he was super close to packing everything back up and driving back to New York in about three seconds.
-
Or the one where heartbreak is a pain in the ass, Magnus is forced to spend the summer in a small cottage in the hopes of finding his passion for design again, and manages to piss off the cute neighbor after only being there for two days.
"The only real pain in life is between hanging on and letting go."

“Sir,” Alec groans into his hands helplessly. “I have no plans to get married. Magnus doesn’t either.”
“You heard him before,” Asmodeus huffs triumphantly. “He agreed.”
“Then call your matchmaker,” Alec shrugs. “I’m sure she’ll find a good match for him.”
“I don’t just want Magnus to get married, Alec,” Asmodeus replies quietly. “You understand that, right? I want him to be happy.”
“And you think I could make him happy?” Alec can’t help but ask.

Summary
“Should I address it to ‘the handsome dragon’ or…?”
Alec practically swoons, dizzy at the realization Magnus is flirting with him. It’s likely a part of his act, a playfulness he uses with his fans, but Magnus doesn’t know what it does to him. How it makes him want to shower Magnus with gold and rare gems and jewelry and books, and makes him want to break his control and press his lips to Magnus’, which shine with some kind of gloss.
“Alec Lightwood,” he manages to muster after a full six seconds of trying to reel himself in and calm himself down.
