Summary
Patrick doesn’t respond correctly - because Patrick has never once responded correctly to David being horrible. He just takes another sip of tea, and fucking smiles again.
“What?” David snaps.
“Nothing, I just-”
He stops, mouth still open, sound still somewhere in his throat. Then he laughs again. It’s quieter this time, more to himself, like he’s surprised himself with it. It’s infuriating, and it’s adorable, and David doesn’t get it.Or, five times Patrick almost said "I love you", and one time David said it first.

Summary
“Were we broken up?”
David whirls around, a bath bomb in each hand. “I’m sorry, what?”
Patrick is focusing a little too intently on the card reader. “You said you needed time. Is that—was it—” His mouth tightens. “Were you just taking some time, or. Was it a breakup?”
David sets down the bath bombs. He’s not sure how to say this. Especially not in the middle of the store, during business hours, with no time to prepare himself.
Finally, he asks, “Didn’t you want it to be?”Series

Summary
“There’s something I need to tell you.”
David frowns at the reflection of Patrick in the bathroom mirror. “Uh-oh.”
“No, not like that. I just need to warn you about something.”
David turns to frown at the actual Patrick standing next to him. “Uh-oh.”David learns that Patrick's love comes with a disclaimer.

Summary
“Hypothetically, David. Not about us, not about me. Just as a concept. Conceptually, what do you think about marriage?”
David swallows. “Why?”
“Because it’s what you do.” Patrick goes back to his laundry, goes back to folding his fucking underwear like he didn’t just corner David halfway into a panic attack. “When you’re in a relationship, at some point, you gotta have The Talk. It’s not a plan; it’s just to see if you’re on the same page.”
David sniffs, hoping it comes across as unimpressed. “Sounds fake.”David’s never really thought much about marriage. He’s never had a reason to, before.
Patrick gives him a reason.

Summary
He goes to the gym.
Those words have been pinballing around David’s brain for the better part of the last few days. And nights. And sure, yes. It’s obvious that Ted does, in fact, go to the gym. Because a physique like that doesn’t just happen by accident. A significant amount of work and sweat goes into a body like that, and David just isn’t the kind of person who is ready to make that kind of commitment to anything other than the store, his beauty regimen, and Patrick.
Or:
Set between Housewarming and Rock On, David is feeling more than a little self conscious about his body.

Summary
Patrick’s tongue darts out against his lower lip. Something sinks heavy from his chest to his stomach, pooling hot inside him.
“Fuck me,” he whispers. Soft, and experimental.
It has a… a feeling in his mouth. A shape and a taste, something sweet and sharp and new, but still familiar. It’s something he’s heard so many times, he has such an intimate history with it, but never like this. It sounds different in his voice. It feels different in his throat, on his tongue.Or, Patrick learns what he's allowed to have.

Summary
“Why were you deruned?”
Alec blinks at him for a moment, taken completely off guard. Of all the questions — “What do you mean?”
Or, an alternate universe in which Alec didn't marry Lydia, but he didn't kiss Magnus at the wedding, either.
There are more consequences than you might think.

Summary
"Hey little buddy," Alec says to the child and crouches down in front of them, "where are your parents?"
"Not here," they giggle.
Alec tries —and fails— to not roll his eyes at the endearingly cute answer and chooses another route instead. "I'm Alec. And this is Rafael." He ruffles Rafe's hair. "What's your name?"
"Max."
— — — — —
Life has a tendency to not go the way you thought it would when you were ten years old. Alec never foresaw him being gay, having a child, or nurturing a growing, unrequited love for years.
And yet, they all happened.

Summary
Magnus lives in two worlds: one of blinding stage lights and the thunder of the adoring crowd stomping its feet to the rhythm of his music; and one of the darkness offstage, a blur of lonely hotel rooms, one-night stands, drugs, and the sting of whiskey.
Magnus lives in two worlds, both of them stark, bleak, empty — until Alec Lightwood comes along, and everything falls apart.

Summary
They had lived their lives in front of a camera, one way or the other. Alec Lightwood had grown from promising young actor to A-list celebrity, to internationally-renowned director and producer. At thirty-four, he had several awards to his name, and had been on sabbatical for the last three years following the success of his last movie. Magnus Bane, on the other hand, was the biggest singer, songwriter, and artist of his generation, coming off of the high from his latest wildly successful world tour.
There was nothing that linked them together other than a brief time wherein Alec had directed a number of Magnus' music videos. For all the public knew, they had little more than a professional relationship. And yet, Alec had access to every single one of Magnus' residences, and Magnus knew he had a designated room in every one of Alec's.

„You want to be a diversion?” asked Jace.
„It sounds like you think I can’t do it” he said, his eyebrows scrunching above his nose. He sounded little offended.
„It’s not like we think you can’t” answered Izzy, sending Jace a warning look. „It’s just, you never wanted to.”
„That’s ‘cause I don’t.” Alec answered plainly. „But I could. It can’t be that hard.”
