Summary
Still blindly following Clave orders, Alec infuriates Magnus and gets kicked out of the loft. Magnus nurses his emotional wounds and Dot shows up. Lots of vodka, emotional upheaval, and recently compromised state with Azazael lead the doorway open for an unwelcome visit from one of Magnus's many uncles, A Prince of Hell, Greater Demon Sammael -- with a personal agenda against Magnus and everything he holds dear. Alec unwittingly gets caught in the middle. This doesn't bode well for either of them in the (tumultous) aftermath.

Summary
Seventeen years old Shadowhunter Maryse Trueblood ends up in the Seelie Realm after a botched mission -- wounded and in need of help. A handsome Seelie saves her and they fall in love.
Maryse eventually returns to her own world, sick and acting unlike herself. Robert Lightwood inadvertently becomes involved with this, as he is infatuated with Maryse, and the two seek out Magnus Bane for help in searching for a warlock healer to treat her. Eventually this bonds the group, forming a alliance btwn Nephilim & Warlocks...with a secret so incredible yet potentially a threat to the existing order -- that it was voluntarily struck out from Shadow World history by an extensive memory wipe -- everyone forgets, including the warlock enacting the wipe himself.
With the alliance and all related events erased from memory, friends become foes, the Last Stand of the NY Institute still occurs, and events carry on as everyone knows them today.
18 years later, to the very date that the memory wipe was enacted, Alexander Gideon Lightwood hears music in the winds swirling about him...along with a sweet yet sinister lilting voice beckoning him to come home...

Summary
When his trip to Edom (meant to prevent a cataclysm brought on by a wayward curse) goes wrong, Magnus Bane, the former High Warlock of Brooklyn is presumed to be dead.
6 months later, the New York institute receives a sign of life from within Edom. A strong presence has come to claim the realm - prompting a team to go investigate.
The fated lovers meet again.
However, Magnus Bane, as they know him, is no more -- the new King of Edom is more demon that anything else, having forgotten himself, the Shadowhunters, and Alec. In his world, Nephilim are coveted prizes ... and the enemy.
Alec Lightwood, in an attempt to keep both worlds safe, makes a deal, sacrificing himself to be taken as the King's prize, his Consort -- all on a faint gamble that he can help to save his former lover's soul.
To what lengths will Alec go in order to get him back -- if there's even a way to do so?

Summary
Some first-meets are pleasant, some not so ideal. However, some say that certain things happen for a reason, and that the actions we take in that split-second, will determine the course of things to come.
For barista Alec Lightwood, today was to be such a day...
(SUMMARY may change, since I absolutely SUCK at them. HAHAH im so sorry).

Summary
An alternate meet-cute (or NOT?) where Shadowhunter Alec Lightwood meets the High Warlock of Brooklyn Magnus Bane, and how their relationship develops -- Siblings, Friends, Companions included.
Characters are slightly OOC at times, especially Alec, but in good ways. Canon divergent. Still based in the Shadow World. There may be 5-6 works in this total, I haven't decided yet.

Summary
One-shots off the "It Had To Be You" universe
Main fic here: It Had To Be YouThere were many situations that I ended up cutting from the actual fic. They may or may not end up here.
TIMELINE: Between June 1985 to November 1990 (the period where the fic played out) and beyond 1990 if I decide to write about the future..
I will specify time period in the summary of each fic.
May just be Magnus and Alec, and may also contain some stories of the gang as well (Izzy, Simon, Clary, Jace, Catarina, Ragnor, Imasu, Peter, maybe even Sebastian and Zach -- who knows)

Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery by GroveGrocer

Summary
There was a knock at the door and Alec immediately darted to his feet, ignoring the throb from his head. He set himself in an offensive pose, ready to attack whatever came through the door, as all his training on what to do if you were captured sprinted through his head.
The one thing he didn’t anticipate was who walked through the door.
Maryse Lightwood.
_____________________________________________________________The head of the Shangai Institute has gone missing. So has the Head of the Brisbane Institute. And the Los Angeles Institute. Alec becomes caught up in a ploy for power that will lead him down a long road to recovery. The problem with recovery is that it's hard to go through when everyone you love has been used against you. Almost everyone.
Sept 15, 2022: This fic is undergoing a remodel. I'll try to keep it coherent in the mean time but excuse any jumps in logic.

Summary
If a man falls every time he tries to walk, he will stop trying. If he is hurt every time he speaks, he will become silent. If he is punched every time he tells the truth, he will become the greatest liar the world has seen. Self-preservation is stronger than any principle. There are no exceptions, save for one. If a man’s heart breaks every time he loves, he will never stop loving.
No principle is stronger, except the loneliness every person feels when they have no one in their lives. Love will break everyone who chances at it, but the pain will always be forgotten.For centuries, Magnus Bane had moved on from every lover he ever had. But for centuries, Magnus Bane had never thought of marrying one of them. The blue eyes that met his cat eyes without hesitation, without the Shadowhunter disdain for Downworlders, sent him reeling. Somehow, Alexander Lightwood was different. He didn’t know how, but he felt it.
OR, a journey through Alec and Magnus' relationship as the world around them falls into flames and rises again.
