    Summary

    Objectively, I am aware that you – a stranger – cannot tell me my own sexuality any better than I can, however... Can you, please? Tell me? It’s 4am and I have been thinking about this for hours, and I can’t sleep.

    Warmest regards,
    ACD

    It’s four in the morning, and Alex Claremont-Diaz has managed to follow a research spiral straight down into a personal crisis. It isn’t the first time.

    Summary

    "Fuck you, Bane," Alexander hisses as he shoves the bill into the back pocket of his jeans. As if it would keep Magnus from stealing it again. Such a ridiculous thought.

    "Time and date, sugar. Time and date." Magnus throws him a kiss and grins.

    Alexander flips him off, like Magnus expected him to. In fact, the reaction is as expected as the sun rising every morning; Alexander is nothing but predictable. If it isn't the flipping off, it's an eye roll or a glare. Magnus loves riling this coworker up, more so than any of his others.

    ------

    OR: Magnus doesn't like his coworker simply because his stupidly attractive face is too much of a competition. But is that really all that is to it?

    Summary

    “Magnus. If I ask you a question, you won’t be offended, right?”

    Magnus’ response comes almost immediately. “Of course not. What is it, Alexander?”

    Alec hesitates for a long time before he sends the message. “You’re…You’re like a real person, right?”

    Magnus responds immediately again. Alec likes it when he does that. But he doesn’t like it when Magnus laughs at his very serious question. “I suppose that’s a very valid concern in the age of artificial intelligence. But I assure you, I’m quite real. I'm neither a not a figment of your imagination nor am I an artificial simulation created to conduct an experiment on pretty boys from New York.”

    “See when you talk like that it’s hard to believe you’re real,” Alec chuckles tiredly. “But, yeah, okay, I trust you. Sorry about that. Jace got into my head.”

    “If I ever come to New York, I will be having words with Jonathan for messing with your pretty little head,” Magnus informs very seriously.

    Alec hesitates again. “Would you like that?”

    “Yell at Jace?”

    “Would you like to come to New York?”

    Summary

    In other lifetimes, Henry meets Alex at the grocery store when they reach for the same package of cookies, at the flower store when he goes to buy flowers for Bea when she’s hospitalized from a relapse, and in a soccer match in high school when they’re on rival teams.

    But no matter how they met, it always ends the same; with Henry and Alex's paths dividing somewhere along the road, never to cross again.

    Summary

    “Are you trying to get in my way?”


    To his utter surprise, the guy’s lips tip into a teasing smirk as he carefully closes his book and sits back in his chair to look up at him. “Took you long enough to notice,” he says, and Alex blinks at him, momentarily stunned by the answer along with the fact that he’s apparently British.

    “What?”

    “I really thought you’d come talk to me earlier.”

    (Or, five times Henry annoyed Alex by getting in his way, and one time Alex didn't mind.)
