So I actually went and posted the first two chapters of my angel!alec fic?! I'd appreciate any and all kudos, comments, and thoughts. It's a whole verse I have thought out and have written bits and pieces of, and will progressively get more eldritch horror/true form angel as time goes on. In the meantime, here's the info~
cheer for oblivion by weathering
At this moment, there are four facts about Magnus Bane that Alec is absolutely sure of:
He is stuck in Edom.
Lilith is raising an army against him.
Lilith is going to kill him and reopen the rift.
And Alec loves him too much to let the first three things happen, which he can’t do anything about unless he finds a way to shut the rift and survive long enough in Edom to do it.
“Alexander,” said Magnus. “There isn’t going to be a next time.” He leaned his forehead against Alec’s, gold-green eyes staring into blue.
Magnus in the City of Fallen Angels
I will love you as long as I live. However long or short my life may be, it seems to me that I could never find time enough to love you as you deserve. Loving you made me believe in eternity. Aku cinta kamu.
Magnus in the City of Heavenly Fire (Magnus's letter to Alec)
“Aku cinta kamu,” Magnus read out, gazing at the interior of the ring, and he smiled at Alec, a brilliant, world-spanning smile. “My love for yours, my heart for yours, my soul for yours, Alexander. Now and for all time.”
I have this theory that both Alec and Izzy have realized that:
Valentine experimented on babies whose mothers were members of the Circle, because he had easy access to them while they were pregnant. (Example: Joyce with Clary and Johnathan, Céline with Jace)
Maryse, their mother, was a member of the circle while she was pregnant with Alec and then Izzy.
So there is a very high chance that they both have extra angel or demon blood.
and they have made a pact to never think about it, because they saw firsthand how messed up the Clary-Jace-Sebastian thing was.
Izzy and Alec having more angel/demon blood is such a good Shadowhunters headcannon. There’s so much you could do with it, especially it it’s introduced in the second tmi trilogy, because then they have some pre-conceived ideas that it. If anyone wants, i can go into more detail on this headcannon.
I wanted to be creative with this prompt and became obsessed with this audio so why not combine the two? I make Alec "the gun" aka the one both Maryse and Magnus want to reach for, influencing him to their side (Maryse also symbolizes the Clave and its rule-abiding stifling society and Magnus is the opposite of that).
It's fun to notice and put all these Maryse-Magnus parallel, especially in terms of the way they act with Alec. And Alec is the gun they want and rely on, seeking him for comfort. Maryse and Magnus differ in all sorts of things, but they both love Alec, albeit in different ways

PSA: JUST A STUPID SAPPY POST ABOUT ONE OF MY FAVS MR ALEXANDER LIGHTWOOD-BANE, A NATIONAL TREASURE (sort of long so read at your own risk)
one of my favorite things about show Alec is that he truly does not give a fuck. if you hurt the people he cares about, he will call you out on it. just a short little rant about the difference between book and show Alec. book Alec does not have any autonomy or is allowed any thoughts that don’t include jace. “I wish I could fight like jace, I wish I could act as jace does, or JACE JACE JACE. CC STOP LET ALEC BE HIS OWN PERSON FOR FUCKS SAKE
this is because when CC (just my personal opinion.) started writing about Alec, she thought he didn’t deserve to be his own person. she believed everyone should be obsessed with jace because well, she is and that’s the way it should be, right? and indeed, she planned to kill him off in the first book.
I’ve been having some thoughts since finishing the show because I don’t know who created show Alec and made him who he is (probably Matt, let’s be real) but thank you so much. Alec is his own person with his own feelings and his own thoughts. show Alec is a tremendous fighter and is seen to take on jace extremely well. book Alec for some weird reason isn’t a skilled fighter. which I’ll never understand but whatever lmao
no one in the book is allowed to call out jace for anything and if they do, it’s apparent that they’re “jealous” of jace. if jace is the best shadowhunter alive, then why does his worthless ass need saving every single book? and why is that person always Alec?
Jace treats Alec as a lap dog as wonderful Simon beautifully pointed out in the show. this is also something CC would never have allowed. Alec will call out Jace, the new high warlock of Brooklyn (ugh Lorenzo), clary, aldertree, the inquisitor, his parents, anyone who steps in his way. I think it’s such a big difference with book and show Alec.
I so badly wished to love book Alec (and trust me, I truly did try) but I just can’t. he doesn’t have a mind of his own and if he does, his role is to serve jace or be the funny stereotypical gay. he’s biphobic, hates that his boyfriend has a past, can’t stand up for himself, like he’s not even his own person. he can’t even have his own pov for some of the most important parts of his story. this is a love post for show Alec because that’s the Alec we deserved to read about. one who speaks his own mind, loves and protects those he cares about, and will take no one’s shit.
he’s literally the only one who didn’t trust clary or Sebastian but everyone (except maybe Izzy) who acted as though Alec was the problem. seriously just a big thank you to mending Alec and making him one of the best reasons to watch the show 🫶🏼
I’m in love with Alec and I’m so happy with his growth 🥹 it’s truly the Alec and Magnus show and I’m so here for it 👏🏼

In which Chairman Meow decides to pay Malec a visit in the middle of the night and Magnus learns what it's like to sleep next to a heavily armed angelic warrior.
Another prompt that sounded angsty but I made into crack instead cause I'm still recovering from that first prompt XD
