The Road Not Taken (Looks Real Good Now) by notcrypticbutcoy
Fandoms: Shadowhunters (TV), The Mortal Instruments Series - Cassandra Clare
28 Aug 2021
Tags
Summary
Being recognised is the last thing Magnus wants when he returns to his small, beachy hometown, hoping to make peace with the past he's tried so hard to forget. The universe is clearly playing some kind of cosmic joke, he thinks, when he runs into an old flame working behind the same counter he did at age eighteen.
As Magnus tries to move on from his past, there's something that keeps tugging his gaze over his shoulder. What is Alec Lightwood doing stuck in the sluggish pace of small town life?
Or: in which Magnus despises small towns, everyone has a tragic backstory, and Magnus and Alec learn that choosing themselves brings good things.

Summary
Wei Wuxian opens the letter and skims through, feeling his frown deepen with every line. “Oh. A request from Yiling. This man Tong Shen writes, 'I can’t explain what’s happening — you wouldn’t believe me if I tried. The hills are moving and they are hungry. Please send aid, Hanguang-jun, this humble one begs you.' Well, my curiosity is certainly piqued."
A few months after the events of Guanyin Temple, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji take on a night hunt of an unusual sort: The Burial Mounds are spreading, quickly and with no apparent explanation.
In Wei Wuxian, it brings old, long-buried things bubbling to the surface.

Summary
“Do you know how annoying you are sometimes?” Lan Wangji asked, not unplayfully.
Wei Wuxian beamed. “Do you know how stodgy you are sometimes?” he replied.
“How stodgy was this?” Lan Wangji said with a tiny smirk, referring to what they’d just done together in bed.
Wei Wuxian conceded the point. “This has to be against at least one of your rules,” he replied.
Lan Wangji looked suddenly serious. “There are no rules against love.”
***
Between the lines of episodes 42-43, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji return to Cloud Recesses and finally figure things out.

Summary
In the end, the world isn’t destroyed by a demonic invasion or a Downworld revolt. All of Edom’s armies stay exactly where they are. Instead, it’s the hubris and malice of a Nephilim soldier that halts life as they know it.
It’s ironic.

Summary
Wei Wuxian chuckles and starts pushing Lan Wangji's outer robes off his shoulders. "Poor Lan Zhan, subject to such earthly miseries. You must be exhausted, come to bed, come to bed."
"Mm," Lan Wangji says. He raises his arms so that Wei Wuxian can keep undressing him. His clothes will end up on the floor, but no matter. Wei Wuxian's deft hands at his belts are worth wrinkled robes.
"... Goodness, Hanguang-Jun, you wear too many damned layers," Wei Wuxian tells him after a while. "Would it kill you to stop after a reasonable five?"
--
Wei Wuxian moves into the Jingshi. They sleep together.

They say everyone has a fate. Something predetermined. Long decided before you even place a single sole on this harsh wasteland that we call Earth.
All around the city, shadows creep, people vanish without trace and silent cries call out unanswered in the night.
In a harsh, unforgiving world full of unknowns and desperate longings for safety, I do what I can. I stay alive, stay unseen and stay quiet. It's easier said than done. Especially since I am the ticket to my own self destruction.Bookmarked by MuscleMemory
