    Summary

    Alec Lightwood lost three years, a name he once said like a prayer, and the shape of the life that held him.

    Now, with a limp he didn’t earn and memories that won’t return, he is trying to stitch together something that feels like living—physiotherapy, wine-stained Friday dinners, polite conversations that feel like performances.

    But when a stranger’s hand brushes his in a quiet grocery aisle, something in him stirs. Not a memory—something older. Something deeper.

    A story of love after forgetting. And the quiet ache of being known by someone you can’t remember.

    Summary

    “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.

    An arranged marriage au where they fall in love after they get married :)

    Summary

    Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Whatever is inescapable. In the worst way possible. He’s always fucking there. Alex turns up for his shift and Henry is there behind the coffee machine, apron tied around his waist and stupid, tight white T-shirt clinging to his biceps. Alex turns up for open-mic night at the cafe and there he is again, reading his fucking poetry. Alex goes to the grocery store, or the bookshop, or the fucking campus library, and who does he see? Henry. Always Henry.

    Always Henry, always with a different guy.

    ***

    Alex hates Henry. He's only letting Henry and his stupid long limbs and his overly symmetrical face stay on his couch because he has to, because 'tis the season not to be a massive dick, because it's Christmas. Isn't he?

    Summary

    “Wait, there’s something else.” Alec froze, hand on the door, clutching it so tightly his knuckles were turning white.

    “Something else besides the fact that you’re forcing me into an arranged marriage, you mean?” He spat.

    “The wedding…it’s tomorrow.”

     

    Alexander Lightwood, one of the most promising Shadowhunters of his generation, has just completed his three years of training and is returning New York City to officially take over as Head of the New York Institute. Everything is just as it should be. Except, the Clave seems to have an additional task for him. An arranged marriage.

    And will this arranged marriage be enough to stop the rising tensions that threaten to tear the Shadow World and the Downworld apart for good?
