Cornucopia of Colors
Writer's Month
All his life, Magnus had wondered about his soulmate and just how special they were. Because the only color he was supposed to see was the eye-color of his soulmate. Yet Magnus had always been able to see three colors – soft brown, the light-blue like the sky and pure gold. It had confused Magnus and he had wondered what kind of person, or even what kind of being, his soulmate was. Surely a Downworlder, perhaps the tri-colored eyes were their warlock mark?
And then he met Jace Wayland about an amulet and suddenly, colors exploded around Magnus, his whole world was shaken and broken down, all shades of gray falling away and making room for bright, excellent colors. He stared wide-eyed, just like the Shadowhunter opposite him did. His hair was golden but his eyes... they were brown and blue, not golden?
"You're... mine", whispered Magnus gently, reaching out – not for the amulet but for the blonde.
When he cupped Jace's cheek, the Shadowhunter immediately leaned into it, touch-starved and as eager to finally meet his soulmate as Magnus himself had been.
After that moment, Magnus was more than happy to help the Shadowhunters with whatever they needed, as long as it meant Magnus had the chance to protect and keep his soulmate safe. Weeks later, after six dates and countless missions on behalf of Clary Fray, Magnus found himself waking up with his soulmate in his arms. Magnus smiled before pulling Jace in for a kiss. With Jace, he never had his eyes glamoured, knowing that his real eyes were the only color Jace had seen for all his life and knowing that Jace loved his eyes. Though Jace's eyes, they had been a mystery for long.
"I love your eyes", whispered Jace as he stared into them. "Make you look like a predator."
"Does that make you my prey, my little Shadowhunter?", mused Magnus teasingly.
Jace grinned mischievously at him and concentrated hard. His beautiful heterochromic eyes started glowing golden and so did the runes on his body. It had taken them a while to figure this out, that Jace had pure angelic blood and with it came powers. He had honed his skills, after he realized that was why Magnus had been able to see the color gold. He wanted to activate them at will to tease his soulmate just as Magnus teased him with the unglamoured cat-eyes. It was practical, particularly the silencing rune and the stamina rune were handy to activate without needing to stop what they were doing and go looking for Jace's stele. Magnus grabbed Jace by the thighs and pulled him closer, Jace happily straddling him and leaning down to kiss him deeply. Colors were beautiful, yet among all those different, new colors, Magnus couldn't help but love three above all else.
