Isabelle is definitely no. 1 malec supporter, I aspire to be like her

[sserrafeim]

I think we as a society should be obsessed with the shadowhunters books again

[starwolf-and-marauders]

The urge to pick up the red scrolls of magic (or any Shadowhunter book for that matter) from the shelf and reread it for the 3729474th time hits me every week but, unfortunately, i do want to pass the exams and go to uni so i have to study instead

Malec + petnames:

“Alec, my darling. Clary. And rat-boy.”

―City of Ashes.

"Hey, honey," said Magnus, and it was a little marvelous that he meant Alec. "What's new?"

―The Red Scrolls of Magic.

“Hey, gorgeous, how are you feeling?” he murmured.

―The Red Scrolls of Magic.

Magnus gave him a look of surprising sweetness. “Not me, love,” he said. “We’ll think of something.”

―The Red Scrolls of Magic.

“Oh, my love,” Magnus murmured. “I am so glad to be home.”

―The Red Scrolls of Magic.

Alec woke to Magnus's shaking his shoulder. "Come on, sweet pea," he said. "Time to rise and face the day."

―City of Lost Souls.

"Oh, honey." Magnus kissed Alec's neck anyway.

―The Lost Book of the White.

"They're the only leads we have, my love," Alec said, "so I think we're getting in the cabs."

―The Lost Book of the White.

"Darling," Magnus said quietly, "we're invisible."

―The Lost Book of the White.

Magnus continued stroking Alec's chest were the thorn had entered, until Alec, wirh effort, said, "Not here, my love. Ragnor is watching us."

―The Lost Book of the White.

I will then entertain the children for the rest of the day while you, my love, my all, take a nap and join us whenever you please.

―Secrets of Blackthorn Hall.

Dear delectable muffin of love, I hope this perfumed letter finds you well, and that you and R and M are having an excellent time in your exotic journey to…well, I believe the term you used was “upstate.”

―Secrets of Blackthorn Hall.

[satori-the-miracle-boy]

It's crying over Lightwood-Bane family hours

[r-inijhinix]

Y'all don't understand how much of An Experience it is having The Red Scrolls of Magic being the book that introduces you to the TSC fandom

Like, hello, I spent Too Fucking Long wondering how tf this is the first book of a series when every other page it felt like the main characters were making a reference to some plot element I didn't know about

"who is this Jace Herondale fucker? What do you MEAN there was a war this book ISN'T covering for some reason?"

"There has got to be a prequel of some sort I don't know about" i thought naively

The prequel was a whole other series. A 6-book series. With another 3-book series preceding it.

I was just a baby gay who wanted to read a fantasy about other gays. Being initiated into a cult was NOT what I was planning on

Anyways, here I am 2.5 years later

The air was thick with warmth and the scent of something floral—jasmine, maybe. Magnus had said this place was “an absolute treasure, completely off the grid, and most importantly, private.” Alec wasn’t sure how he’d found it, but then again, Magnus Bane had a way of knowing things no one else did.

A shallow pool carved into natural stone reflected the flickering lanterns above. The water was warm, nearly hot, and Alec let out a breath he didn’t know he’d been holding as he sank in up to his chest. Steam curled around them, softening the edges of everything, turning the jungle around them into a blurred painting of green and gold.

Magnus was already half-submerged across from him, bare-chested, adorned in gold jewelry that somehow didn’t seem to tarnish despite the water. He looked like he belonged there, like the world had built this entire scene just to frame him.

Alec felt like he didn’t.

He shifted slightly, water rippling around him, acutely aware of the way his black swim briefs clung to his skin. It wasn’t the exposure that unsettled him—it was the intimacy. The vulnerability. They hadn’t gotten… there, yet. Not entirely. And Alec was still getting used to the way Magnus looked at him, like he was worth seeing.

Hi! I imagined this drawing as it was set during their vacation after city of glass. Alec still clumsy and scared of what could be, Magnus already head over hills for him. I love to draw the contrast between their skin colors❤️

I hope you enjoy

Mentally, Physically, and Literally.

"Author posts this in the malec fandom and runs away."

[alecisnoturbitch]

Magnus slowly turning into a demon

But this is what's on alec's mind

He's too far gone, he can't be saved anymore 🥲

[tsc-malec]

Magnus said, in a low voice, “And what’s that one?”

Alec answered, “Stamina.”

Magnus stared. “Are you serious?”

Alec began to grin. “Yeah.”

“Really, though,” Magnus said. “I want to be clear on this. You’re not just saying that to be sexy?”

“No,” Alec answered, his voice husky, and swallowed. “But I’m glad if it is.”
