    Summary

    “Can I top you off?”

    Buck’s head whips frantically in Tommy’s direction. “Huh?”

    “Your champagne,” Tommy says with a sooty half-smirk, while Buck irrationally feels like his bluff’s been made. Tommy taps a finger twice against the plastic in his hand. “It’s empty. Can I get you some more?”

    Maddie gets married in an emergency room and Buck learns how to ask.

    Summary

     
    "You have a choice to make. I will not ask again."

    Magnus Bane's ultimatum shook Alec to his core. Quietly, Alec and Lydia called off their engagement. Reluctant to face the resulting questions and speculations, Lydia returned to Idris, leaving the Institute in Alec's capable hands.

    Free from his impending marriage, Alec faces terrifying dilemmas. Is he ready to confront Magnus Bane? What should he say? Does the spellbinding warlock even reciprocate his feelings, or is it all just a cruel game? Is Alec even ready to take that step—to risk derailing everything he's worked for—for a far-fetched chance at love?

    Meanwhile, a rogue warlock prowls the streets of New York, murdering mundanes to gather power for a mysterious spell. Only Magnus Bane has the knowledge to help the New York shadowhunters, now lead by Alec, solve the case.

    Forced to work alongside Magnus on an almost daily basis, Alec must face his feelings head on.

    Summary

    Alec’s deflect rune emits a golden sheen, like a lighthouse calling fishing boats home. Alec covers it with his hand, but light seeps through the cracks in his fingers, and then it dawns on him.

     

    Magnus releases another energy blast that narrowly misses Alec’s head. Magnus jerks his hand back and stares at Alec, his eyes wild and fearful — almost vulnerable. Alec hates that look. He hates that the High Warlock of Brooklyn is looking at him like a lifeline.

    “No,” Alec exhales. “Fuck no.”

     

    Magnus holds his hands up in surrender and takes a step towards Alec. “It’ll be okay. Let’s talk about this.”

     

    Alec backs away until he feels the hard press of the wall against his back. He fumbles around for the doorknob and swings the door open.

    “Wait, please!” Magnus calls.

     

    Alec slams the door on his way out.


    A soulmate au where you lose control of your magic from the moment you meet your soulmate until your first kiss.

    Or Magnus convinced himself that he's content without a soulmate, and Alec never imagined he would have a soulmate, let alone that his soulmate would be a downworlder.

    Summary

    As a middle school English Literature teacher at The Institute, Alec was pretty happy with his job. He liked the students, he liked the classes he taught and he liked the rest of the teachers, especially the Head of the Science Department, Magnus Bane. Magnus made teaching science look like magic and he also happened to be the most beautiful man Alec had ever met. But because Alec's still firmly in the closet, he's stuck thinking that all it can ever be is a crush.

    But then a last minute request to be a substitute teacher with Magnus Bane makes him start to think that just maybe, his future path might not be so fixed after all. That his daydreams of being more to Magnus than just a colleague, might not be so impossible after all.

    [Or where Alec gets asked to supervise the 'All of Us: Understanding Gender Diversity, Sexual Diversity and Intersex Topics' seminar with Magnus because no-one else can & he starts to think he might not need to hide his sexuality forever.]
