Summary
She wasn’t even in the room. Through a door, he heard the faintest sounds of Maryse Lightwood’s voice and any semblance of hope in his chest died in an instant.
It’s an immediate reaction. One he didn’t even have to think about- it just is. The smile dropped. Alec’s shoulders tensed, bracing up against the inevitable, back going ramrod straight as his brow furrows into that awful scowl Magnus would tut over if he saw. He prepared himself to squint, to force to meet her gaze (“Alec, look at me”) when it burned. His arms had folded neatly behind his back as he drew himself up to face her. A soldier preparing for battle. He heard Maryse’s voice and it was like he was a scared kid again and he forgot how to breathe.
He heard her and in an awful moment it was as though he was reminded of everything he was not allowed. Alec wasn’t allowed to smile or look pretty. Alec was not allowed to be happy. He never had been- that’s not what he was for, it’s not his job or his purpose.
Alexander Lightwood wasn’t meant to be happy. He never had been.

Summary
[“There’s this thing that you do,” Alec murmurs. “This power you have that makes you look indestructible.”
“You know that’s not true,” says Magnus.
“I do,” replies Alec, “But even then … there are times when I’m not so sure.”]
1992, New York, a city hanging on to politically-tinged Cold War feelings. Alec Lightwood is a Corporate - a superhero for hire - jostling with a secret identity, holding on to a sense of a normal life, and the fact vigilantes keep turning up murdered in the gutters with no explanation.
Things can only get worse when Magnus - an investigative journalist - starts peeling back Alec’s carefully-crafted mask … and then there’s the mysterious vigilante with the power to move things with his mind who keeps turning up wherever Alec goes - Alec just can’t cut a break.
A neonoir slow-burn superheroes AU about identity, truth, and falling in love without knowing someone’s real name (ft. everyone has superpowers because I couldn’t help myself).

Summary
Alec bites his lip on a smile and sits back, admiring his handy work. His eyes trace the path of silver metal bound around Magnus’s wrists, down long arms and across a bare chest up to parted lips and a hungry gaze. Alec licks his lips.
It does something to him, seeing Magnus tied down and at his mercy.
And Magnus?
Well, seeing how turned on Alec gets drives Magnus insane.
---
or, Alec ties Magnus down.
