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
“I was afraid that the next time you walked into my life, I wouldn’t know how we fit together,” Alec whispers. “I was worried that something inside of me, inside of you, would’ve changed, because things always change after this long, but - it hasn’t.”
Beneath Alec’s palm, Washington lies hidden. In the dark, the atlas rustles.
“You haven’t, Magnus. Not when it comes to me.”
Two almost-lovers re-encounter one another by pure serendipity at a diner in the middle of nowhere. Together, they embark on a roadtrip across the continental United States, aware that at the end of the journey, they will separate again.
This time, there is a choice not to let go once they reach their destination.

Summary
It's definitely them. It's a very involved kiss, possibly the French kind. The video keeps looping. Alec stabs it into a pause with an unsteady thumb.
Fellow students and friends, Alec and Magnus have a well-established housemate arrangement. It's thrown for a loop when a kiss gone public threatens Alec's ability to stay—so Magnus suggests a foolproof solution. What's a little marriage of convenience between friends, after all?
