"Is that why you forgave me? For me, or you?" Alex said, not angry, just curious.

"I forgave you because I love you and I hate being without you. I hate it, my cat hates it. And because Catarina convinced me I was being stupid."

"Mmm. I like her."

Magnus's hands reached around Alec and flattened against his chest, as if he were feeling for his heartbeat. "And you forgive me," he said. "For not being able to make you immortal, or end my own immortality."

"There's nothing to forgive," Alec said. "I don't want to live forever." He laid one of his hands over Magnus's, twining their fingers together. "We might not have that much time," said Alec. "I'll get old and I'll die. But I promise I won't leave you until then. It's the only promise I can make."

"A lot of Shadowhunters don't get old," Magnus said. Alec could feel the thrum of his pulse. It was strange, Magnus like this, without words that usually came to him so easily.

Alec turned around in Magnus's embrace so that they faced each other, taking in all the details that he never got tired of: the sharp bones of Magnus's face, the gold-green of his eyes, the mouth that always seemed about to smile, though he looked worried now. "Even if it were just days, I would want to spend them all with you. Does that mean anything?"

"Yes," Magnus said. "It means that from now on we make every day matter."

William: So is our strategy for this still “trust me”?

Bree: It’s still “trust me”.

William: Oh, good. For a second there I was worried there was going to be a plan with, like, steps we could follow. You know, something reassuring.

Alec Lightwood

"You never called me back," he said. "I called you so many times and you never called me back." Magnus looked at Alec as if he'd lost his mind. "Your city is under attack," he said. "The wards have broken, and the streets are full of demons. And you want to know why I haven't called you?"

- City of Glass

"Good organization," said Magnus. “I knew the man who founded it, back in the 1800s. Woolsey Scot. Respectable old werewolf family.” Alec made an ugly sound in the back of his throat. “Did you sleep with him, too?” Magnus’s cat eyes widened. "Alexander!"

- City Of Fallen Angels

Alec looked merely irritated by this comment. "The only way you could raise enough money to hire Magnus by selling lemonade is if you put meth in it."

- City of Lost Souls

"Alec," Magnus said. He put a hand on his boyfriend’s shoulder; Alec was standing still, staring angrily at the floor. "Are you okay?" Alec looked at him. "Who are you again?" Magnus gave a little gasp; he looked — for the first time Simon could remember — actually unnerved. It lasted only a moment, but it was there. "Alexander," he said. "Too soon to joke about the happy memory thing, I take it," Alec said.

"I did not make a pie,” Alec repeated, gesturing expressively with one hand, “for three reasons. One, because I do not have any pie ingredients. Two, because I don’t actually know how to make a pie.” He paused, clearly waiting. Removing his sword and leaning it against the cave wall, Jace said warily, “And three?” “Because I am not your bitch,” Alec said, clearly pleased with himself.

"Herondales." Zachariah's voice was a breath, half laughter, half pain. "I had almost forgotten. No other family does so much for love, or feels so much guilt for it." - City of Heavenly Fire

I can feel Jem's pain and he was thinking about Will. His Will

Clary: I know what you’re going to say. He’s my brother and I should be trying to get along with him.

Simon: No, he’s crazy and he needs to go down.

"So," said Alec. His shirt was rumpled, clearly slept in, and he was bouncing a baby. Simon felt bad even bothering him. "What did you want to talk to me about?"

"I'm really sorry again about the other day," Simon told him.

Then he wondered if it was terrible that he had referenced sex in front of Alec's baby. Maybe Simon was just doomed to mortally offend Alec, over and over again. Forever.

"It's okay," said Alec. "I once walked in on you and Isabelle. I guess turnabout's fair play." He frowned. "Although you two were in my room at the time, so actually I think you still owe me."

"You're pinning," said Jace.

Alec shrugged. "Look who's talking. 'Oh I love her. Oh, she's my sister. Oh why, why, why'--"

He was Will, in all his perfect imperfections; Will, whose heart was as easy to break as it was carefully guarded; Will, who loved not wisely but entirely and with everything he had.

"When will truly wants something," said Jem quietly, "when he feels something - he can break your heart. "

Jace reached out and ran a careful finger down one of Clary’s curls, letting it wind around his hand. Alec remembered the first time he’d realized Jace was in love with her: He’d been watching his parabatai across a room, watching Jace’s eyes track her movements. He remembered thinking: She’s all he sees.
