we need more of alec wearing magnus clothes for research purposes

“Have the boys eaten anything?” Alec asks from the shower. 

“No. They wanted to wait for you.” Magnus replies as he finishes removing his makeup. 

“Okay. I’m almost done. Can you pick out some clothes for me? I’ll be out in a minute.” Alec says as he massages some shampoo in his hair. 

“Already done.” Magnus answers. “Take your time, darling. I’ll call the boys and order dinner till then.”

Alec turns slightly and says with a mischievous smile on his face. “The term ‘order’ implies that you will call up a place and request for some food to be delivered. Which is not how things work in this house. You can’t call it ordering if you’re going to use magic for it.”

Magnus rolls his eyes at him. “The employees are usually overworked and underpaid at restaurants. By magicking the food here instead of asking it to be delivered the mundane way, I’m actually helping them. It’s not like I am stealing.”

Alec lets out a chuckle at Magnus’s excuse. 

He always has a good answer for everything. 

“It’s a little bit like stealing if they don’t know it’s happening.”

“You know what, love? You’re absolutely right. But since I’m a lesser man, I will continue to do so and you can cook for yourself. Or order like a good citizen.” Magnus gives Alec a perfectly innocent smile. “Should not take more than an hour or two since you know, it’s raining outside.”

Fuck.

Alec forgot about the rain thing.

Fine. Magnus wins for today.

“I would do that but it’s already late and Rafe and Max are probably very hungry. I don’t want to make them wait anymore just because I married an outlaw who couldn’t order by the standard means.” Alec says with a wide grin on his face.

“You’re full of shit, Lightwood.” Magnus announces. 

“Lightwood-Bane.”

Magnus snaps his fingers and Alec lets out a shriek as the hot water turns ice cold. “Have a great bath, sweetheart.” 

“Real mature, Magnus.” Alec shouts as Magnus gives him another innocent smile and leaves the bathroom. 

He curses himself for marrying the most annoying man on the planet and tries to finish the shower as soon as possible since he’s dying at the temperature. 

He gets out of the shower and finds the navy blue tank top and bottoms that Magnus has taken out for him. 

Alec puts on the clothes but then realises that he feels too cold to roam in a tank-top. He finds Magnus’s deep mustard cardigan lying on the vanity and puts it over the top. 

He knows Magnus picked that tank top only because it was a little too tight on Alec and his husband likes to thirst on him. 

The cardigan is too soft and warm and Alec wraps it around himself. It smells like Magnus and Alec sighs softly. 

He knows his husband is only in the other room but wearing his clothes always provides Alec with an extra level of comfort and warmth. He knows it's the same for Magnus too which is why he keeps on stealing Alec’s sweaters. 

Alec doesn’t dry his hair because Magnus likes running his hands through his wet hair sometimes before he magically dries them. So he skips all of that and leaves the bedroom. 

“Daddy!!!” Max yells and raises his hands so that Alec can take him in his arms which he does in an instant. Rafael smiles and wraps his arms slowly around his legs.

Alec doesn’t get it sometimes. 

He doesn’t get how the two of them always get excited to see him even though he himself feels the same thing every time he looks at them. 

It still catches him off guard sometimes. 

He bends down with Max in his arms and kisses both their faces. “Hi. How was your day?”

The two of them start talking and yelling over each other, narrating their adventures off the day and Alec listens to every word keenly. 

“Dinner’s ready.” Magnus announces as he enters the living room with plates and takeout containers in his hands. 

“Come on, it’s time for dinner.” Alec says to the boys and stands up. 

“What the fu–” Magnus stops in his tracks. “What are you wearing?”

Alec looks at Magnus and rolls his eyes. “Remember how you tried to kill the father of your children in ice-cold water not five minutes ago?” Magnus blinks. 

“Huh?” Magnus mumbles confusedly as if he doesn't remember. 

“You’re impossible.” Alec huffs. “But now I feel cold because of you so you don’t get to see me in a tank-top. Your cardigan is warm.” 

“Oh.”

Alec’s lips curls upwards at that. “Regret will get you nowhere, baby. This is your loss.”

Magnus puts the containers on the table and walks towards Alec. He takes Alec’s hand in his and twirls him thrice. 

Alec can hear the boys giggling in the background. 

“What are you doing?” Alec chuckles softly. 

“You think this is a loss?” Magnus asks with an award-winning smile on his face. 

Alec raises an eyebrow at him.

“Yeah?” “Alexander, watching you wear my clothes is not something I will ever regret. You look so beautiful.” Magnus says simply.

Magnus calls him beautiful all the time but it still takes Alec’s breath away.

It still makes him blush like it used to a decade ago. 

He shoves Magnus gently to hide away his blush. “Shut up. This is not the first time I’m wearing your clothes.”

Magnus smiles and kisses his cheeks softly. “I know. You look gorgeous every single time.”

Alec married the most annoying man on the planet. But he also married the biggest sap.

“Are you ever not flirting with me, baby?” 

Magnus chuckles softly and runs his hands through his hair. “I find that quite an impossible task.”

“You’re ridiculous.” Alec grins and closes the distance between the two, catching Magnus’s lips between his. 

He wraps his arms around Magnus’s neck and feels himself get lost in the sansation like he always does. 

Until four hands start poking at the two of them like they always do. 

Magnus groans softly and pulls back. The two of them lower their gaze and find two faces with annoyed expressions all over. 

“Can you stop kissing for a second?”

“Can we please give them back?”

[khaleesiofalicante]

DANI HELLO!!!!!!! How you doing babes!!! 🌻🍓

First of all, now I get why you kept on writing 70 more parts to lbaf cause finishing fics is so sad. I keep getting the urge to add more chapters to the ATW fic even though its finished and I currently have 10 WIPS lol.

Anyways, I had my day off today, so I decided to catch up on the last 3 chapters of TLND, which was a horrible decision like always. I have the big sad now I won't be able to get shit done today.

TLND Magnus is becoming my fav. There is something so soft and vulnerable about him. He feels so real and not idealised. And sure, I would like him to communicate better, but that’s easier said than done. Age doesn’t make people wiser or smarter, and stuff like communication issues aren’t something that is resolved easily. I love it when people in their 30’s and 40’s are shown with real problems and issues. He reminds me of Magnus in Peru chapter in TBC.

I read the mansion chapter and then the last one where Clary mentions that thing about being married to a Lightwood. And it’s such a hard-hitting statement. It’s such a common sentiment where people expect partners/spouses to put up with whatever shit life throws at them. Which usually comes from the idea of ‘sacrificing’ in the name of love. Like Magnus clearly went to horrible shit throughout their marriage (I’m specifically talking about outside pressure rn and not their personal issues). Magnus probably got so much shit from the media, and now that he is putting himself first, he is getting more shit. Because people just expect you to sacrifice your whole life, mental health, and every shred of sanity because you love the other person, which is absolutely crazy. It’s not realistic and is always used as an argument against the person with less power for being selfish. It’s very common in military spouses, families where one partner has to reallocate frequently. And any other relationship with power dynamics and is a very harmful idea. So I am glad that Magnus got the divorce (*sobs while typing this*).

Someone needs to protecc Rafael that boy shouldn’t have to deal with all of this. He seems like the kind of person who calls everyone out not because he wants to but because he has to. Peak eldest child syndrome identified. Also, I have a 10 step skincare routine, and I deeply respect Rafael for it. Skincare is actually a very calming experience. 10/10 recommend.

I love Magnus. He’s baby. And he clearly doesn’t know what he wants in this fic which is fine because who even knows what they want lmao. But him taking Rafael to another continent seems unfair to me- specially considering how that would impact Max. Max already feels abandoned as it is; imagine Magnus leaving the country. And I’m thinking how he must be feeling knowing Magnus didn’t go only because of Rafael (idk if Max knew about the London thing or not)- also Magnus saying “oh but Max is allowed to join me if he wants” is also a stupid statement imo like babes, your child thinks you are leaving him. He can’t be a footnote in your London plan, even if it’s temporary. (+ I feel like Alec and Rafael made some stupid deal with each other when they went to talk in the room, they are both sacrifical idiots when it comes to Magnus)

I give more flying fucks about the wet food that people leave in the sink than Shinyun.

The raisin thing made me fucking sob. I fucking hate raisins man and if I ever find someone who eats raisins for me RIP to Magnus Babe but I would simply not divorce them.

P.S. I once again repeat- I am fine with Malec divorce but MAVID ANGST is where I draw the line!!!!!

Alec after seeing Herondale-Fairchilds being happy and normal-

okaybye 💚

EESHU! HELLO!

I hope your week is kind to you. *holds up knife* It better be kind to you.

About the writing. Absolutely! It's so hard to let go once you've immersed yourself. Now you feel me :(

Someone once asked me which version of my fic magnus I like the most. At this time, I haven't even begun to write TLND or have the plot sorted. But I remember replying that it's TLND.

Because you are right. He is different.

He is very much the Magnus we see in TBC. The Magnus we see in TID. The Magnus who is still learning how to be an immortal. The Magnus who is better at hiding and hurting than he is at laughing and loving.

I've always thought what it would be like if Alec met that version of Magnus. Magnus who is like 20. Not 400. Their dynamics would be so different. I do think they will end up together and figure out their shit because come on it's malec.

But yeah. I love this magnus so much too. He is very close to my heart.

And about the mavid angst. Apologies in advance, I guess? 💚

[onetimetwotimesthreetimess]

Malec on their honeymoon plzzz

“You know how I’ve been saving your asses for the past few years and how the lot of you would have been dead ten times over if I wasn’t there?” Magnus says to Izzy and Jace as he enters the institute.

The two of them look up at him and frown. “Yes?”

“I’m here to collect.”

“I don’t know what we could possibly give you considering you already own the Consul.” Jace smirks.

He’s an idiot.

He’s also right.

But what Magnus needs might piss off Raziel himself.

But fuck Raziel.

Stupid Raziel is chilling in the angel city while his husband has been drowning in stress and work.

“Are you going to help me or not? It involves light kidnapping.”

Jace and Izzy’s eyes gleam, and they nod their heads frantically in agreement.

It takes Magnus less than six hours to organise everything with the help of the two of them.

He wakes up the next day with a warm body pressed tightly against his. Alec’s head was resting on his chest.

Alec stirs in his sleep and lets out a small sigh.

Magnus smiles and starts carding his fingers through Alec’s hair.

A small smile appears on Alec’s face, and he finally opens his eyes.

“Morning, my love.”

Alec shifts even closer to Magnus and rests his chin on his chest. “Morning.”

His smile is so infectious that Magnus finds it impossible not to smile back.

He remembers a time when Alec’s smile used to be rare. Now, he smiles easily.

Magnus would gladly go to war to keep that smile on his face.

Alec leans upwards and kisses his lips softly. He rests his head back on Magnus’s chest and turns slowly—his eyes darting across the room.

Alec’s eyes widen, and he sits up immediately. “What the hell?”

He removes the comforter and walks out to the balcony to look around.

“Magnus! Where are we?” Alec inquires, a frown on his face.

“I can assure you there’s a very good explanation for this.”

“About why we’re in the middle of the mountains and not back home where we are supposed to be?” Alec says exasperatedly.

“Yes.”

Alec shakes his head. “Okay. Explain.”

Uh..well. Magnus hadn’t really prepared for that part.

His plan was to kiss Alec and shut him up.

“Magnus?”

“You have been so stressed lately. You needed a break, darling.” He explains.

Alec sighs. “I can’t afford a break right now Magnus. It’s only been three months since the Clave got divided. There’s so much to do I—“

Magnus walks towards Alec and wraps his arms around him. “Everyone deserves a break every once in a while, love. I talked to your siblings and Mark and Diego. Everyone will manage without you for a week.”

“A week??”

Magnus chuckles at his scandalised face. “I promise you the shadowhunter race won’t combust if we’re not there for a week.”

“Without me. Maybe.” Alec smiles, his body releasing some tension. “Without you? They’d be extinct by tomorrow night.”

He grins. “We never went on our honeymoon, you know. I thought this would be the best time to give you a break plus have our honeymoon.”

Alec drops his gaze. “I’m sorry, baby. I know things have been a mess lately. You deserve better than a lousy vacation.”

Magnus gasps dramatically. “Alexander Gideon Lightwood, did you just call a vacation that I planned, lousy? That’s ground for divorce.”

“You’re not allowed to divorce me. I’ll add a No-divorce clause in the law. I’m the Consul.” Alec grins.

Magnus shakes his head fondly. “That’s abuse of power.”

Alec pushes Magnus gently towards the bed and straddles his lap. “Says the man who just kidnapped his own husband for their honeymoon.”

“A man has needs Alexander. I needed a full week of you roaming naked, without any interruptions.”

Alec giggles and bends down to bite his neck gently. “Magnus it’s freezing out here. If you wanted me naked, you should have taken us to someplace warmer.”

Magnus fake sighs. “I guess we’ll just have to share body heat.”

Alec hums and wraps his arms tighter around Magnus’s neck. “Hey.”

“Hmm.”

“Thank you for doing this.”

Magnus pushes a strand of hair from Alec’s face gently and kisses him. “There are some ground rules.”

Alec let out a soft chuckle. “On our honeymoon? Let’s hear it.”

“You’re not allowed to shave for a week.”

His husband shakes his head fondly at him. “Fine. But you’re not allowed to use any hair products then.”

“Deal.” Magnus runs his hand along Alec’s back and then inside his shirt, making the other man shiver slightly.

Alec’s eyes widen suddenly. “What about the boys? Where are they?”

“They are both monsters, Alexander. Kept on giving me the puppy eyes, making me feel guilty for not taking them.” Magnus groans.

Alec chuckles against his throat. “They get the dramatics from you.“

Magnus smacks his chest lightly and huffs. “I had to blackmail Blueberry with another brother orra sister since he’s already bored with Rafe. Rafael was a little harder to handle, he cried a little. You need to talk him once.”

It hasn’t been long since they got Rafael, and separation from either of them was still very hard on the boy.

Alec’s breath quickens at that, but Magnus puts a hand on his chest. “Hey, he’s okay. He’ll be fine. We’ll call them every day and if it gets bad, we can always get them here.”

The shadowhunter relaxed at the words. “Okay.”

“I sent a binder to Maryse. It lists everything from the boys food preferences to their sleep patterns. Your siblings and everyone else will handle your work. You just need to relax now and let me pamper you.”

Alec grabbed Magnus’s face in both his hands and crashed their mouths together in a deep kiss. Magnus moans softly against his lips and tightens his hold on him.

“I really really love you. Did you know that?” Alec breathes when they break apart.

Magnus’s eyes soften.

If only Alec knew how much Magnus loved him.

He wishes he could explain it to Alec, but his love for Alec wasn’t something he could ever put into words.

Not even to Alec himself.

“The whole list thing is doing it for you right?” He grins.

Alec groans. “Of course it’s doing it for me.”

Magnus giggles.

“Hey.”

“Hmm”

“Happy honeymoon, sweetheart.”

Alec’s smiles widen, and Magnus wants to capture this moment for an eternity.

“Happy honeymoon, baby.”

[onetimetwotimesthreetimess]

prompt: alec and his many seduction technique. i just love hoe!alec lightwood sue me. also here several things I think hoe!alec would wear to assist your on your creative path

LISTEN HOE ALEC IS THE REASON FOR MY EXISTENCE

Alec has been with Magnus for almost a decade at this point so you bet your ass this mf knows every single seduction technique that exists in the world.

Magnus loses his shit when he sees Alec in his shadowhunter gear. Alec could easily change at the institute and come home in his sweater but he comes home in all the super tight clothes fitting perfectly on his body. Magnus has ripped apart more than a few dozens of pair of perfectly good shadowhunter bear. It makes Raziel shudder every time

Magnus wanted to have a family day this one time after he came back from a work trip. Alec wanted to take him out on a date and get a babysitter for the kids. Alec challenged him that he would be begging by the end of the day to get a babysitter. Alec wears leather pants first time that day. Rafael turns out to be the one who was begging at the end. He was done with their bullshit and wanted to be send back to Buenos Aires.

It’s canon that Alec is a bit possessive. But he doesn’t really take it seriously anymore—he trusts Magnus endlessly and knows Magnus loves him. It’s the opposite now. Alec is the consul and not only shadowhunters but downworlders too are continuously thirsting over him. TMI gang had to seduce someone once for a mission and Alec volunteered cause he batted for that team and Alec knows how to get shit done. He wears a deep neck shirt that fits his body perfectly and slicks back his hair and while everyone is enjoying the show—Magnus is losing his shit. He gets more than jealous that day and makes it his mission to mark Alec that night. The second the other guy drags his fingers across Alec’s chest—Magnus floods the dude’s apartment with reptiles and cockroaches and every other type of bug. Alec fails to hide his smirk.

This one time—Magnus was mad at Alec (but in a fun way) but instead of talking like a normal person, Alec sends a folder filled of shirtless pictures to Magnus but Max jumps on him mid-way and the pics get send to the whole covenant (idc how it happened okay?). Magnus finds the whole incident amusing (but he’s bit jealous so he ends up using a memory spell to remove everyone’s memory of their consul in chains). Alec believes that this is the price these fuckers have to pay for good leadership.

[onetimetwotimesthreetimess]

meet cute airplane buddies (mile high 😬)

Alec groans for the hundredth time in the last twenty minutes since the flight has taken off.

He opens the text chain again and types everything that he wants to say—but then he deletes it.

Again.

Fucking hell.

"Are you the one dumping or the one being dumped?" A velvety smooth voice says.

Alec frowns and turns on his side to see who decided to butt in his personal turmoil but as soon as his eyes land on the man, his heart stops.

On the row next to him, the most beautiful man Alec has ever seen in his entire life sits comfortably—with a grin on his face.

The beautiful stranger is wearing a red turtleneck that fits his body in all the right places, paired with loose-fit dark brown pants. He has dark maroon streaks on his hair and kohl on his eyes.

Alec stares at him for an exceedingly long amount of time, and the grin on the other man's face widens.

"What?" He says finally.

"I'm asking if you're the one being dumped? Or you're the one dumping someone?" The guy asks smugly. "You've been typing something on your phone for the past half an hour."

What?

Alec blinks a few times to restart his brain, but everything about the man is so distracting.

And why is this beautiful stranger talking to Alec?

His brain registers the words somehow, though, and he groans internally.

"I'm the one who just got dumped." He provides, feeling embarrassed.

The guy's eyes soften. "I'm sorry. That sucks."

Alec huffs lightly.

He's pretty sure the man has never been dumped in his entire life.

"I'm Magnus." He adds.

Magnus.

It suits him, Alec thinks to himself.

But he's an idiot who has never learned how to behave in the company of beautiful men.

"Do you always start conversation with random strangers on flights?" He asks like the moron he is.

This is why nice guys don't date Alec. Because Alec is an idiot who drives nice people away by being an asshole.

This is exactly why only assholes like Ethan date him.

He is about to apologise, but Magnus chuckles at his words.

"Not really. Only to beautiful strangers." Magnus says.

Alec blushes at the words.

No one has ever called him beautiful.

Hot? Sexy? Yes.

But never beautiful.

"So." Magnus continues, undeterred by Alec's lack of response. "Tell me, what happened?"

"Why?"

Shut up. Shut up. You moron.

Magnus shakes his head, chuckling. "This is a fourteen-hour flight. And there aren't a lot of people here. I need some gossip to sustain myself."

Alec let out a chuckle.

Magnus is right—it's a long flight indeed.

He sighs. "There's not much to tell really. My ex boyfriend thought I was boring."

Something about Magnus seems so welcoming that words just flow out of his mouth.

Magnus raises an eyebrow. "Well his loss. I've found out that most people are quite idiotic."

Alec agrees with that sentiment.

"He wasn't wrong, though," Alec adds, even though a very loud voice inside his head is asking him to shut up. "I'm quite boring."

"I was right then. Most people are idiotic, including the beautiful stranger I just met." Magnus sighs dramatically.

The words pull another laugh out of him, which surprises him since he almost always finds strangers annoying.

"No one is ever boring you, know. It's just they haven't found the right people. People who will see them." Magnus says, his voice more calm and serious."

"So you're beautiful and smart both?" Alec bites his lips when he realises what he just said. "I—I didn't mean. I-"

Magnus chuckles softly. "Never apologise for calling me beautiful, darling."

Alec blushes at the endearment and avoids his gaze.

"I mean just because I didn't want to have sex in weird places doesn't mean I wasn't into him or anything." He groans. "People have so weird concept of what's cool and what's not."

Magnus nods. "Hmmm. You shouldn't do anything just to look cool or whatever. That's stupid."

Alec hums.

"You should do it because it's fun."

Alec snickers.

Before Alec even realises, four hours have passed with the two of them just talking about anything and everything.

His heart flips every single time Magnus laughs at something he says.

The two of them make good use of the bar on the flight and get a little tipsy together.

It's fun. It's light.

Both the things Alec never associates with himself.

"I should join the mile high club with some stranger and that should show Ethan how not-boring I am." Alec's eyes widen at his words

Magnus chokes at that.

"I didn't mean—oh my god. I'm an idiot. I'm so sorry that was inappropriate." He rambles, trying to make Magnus understand that he's not a creep.

"It's fine." Magnus assures him.

Alec avoids his gaze, and the two of them are awkward for a few minutes.

"I wouldn't mind though."

"What?"

"I mean for your plan. I volunteer if you're up for it." Magnus whispers.

What the fucking fuck is going on?

"Are you propositioning me for sex?" Alec inquires.

Magnus huffs at that. "I'm pretty sure you're the one who suggested that."

Well, he did.

But he didn't think Magnus would actually say yes.

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"Okay."

"I'm going to the washroom. Follow me in two minutes and knock thrice."

Alec's heartbeat quickens.

He would never do something like this on a normal day. Or ever.

But something about Magnus is making Alec lose his control.

Magnus turns and walks towards the washroom.

Alec breathes heavily and follows him not a minute later and knocks on the door thrice.

Magnus turns the knobs and drags him inside.

He pushes Alec against the door harshly and presses his body against his.

Alec forgets to breathe—but when Magnus crashes their mouths together, Alec realised that he's fine with not breathing for the rest of his life.

The first touch of Magnus's lips against Alec's burns his entire body in a way that it never has before.

The two of them are a mess of limbs and gasps against each other.

He doesn't know how to explain it but being this close to Magnus in a suffocating washroom in the middle of the air somehow feels better than anything he has felt with anybody else.

Alec never wants to stop feeling this way.

"Alec." Magnus moans against his mouth one last time before they climax together, and Alec holds on to him tightly.

Alec leaves the washroom first, zipping his pants, fixing his clothes and sits back on his seat.

Magnus walks out two minutes later and looks awkwardly at their seats.

He looks nervous, which makes something inside his chest warm.

"You had your dick inside me not two minutes ago. I'm sure we can sit next to each other for the remaining few hours, Magnus." Alec announces.

A peal of laughter leaves Magnus's body at the words, and it's so infectious that Alec himself bursts into laughter.

He cannot believe he said that.

He cannot believe he did that.

He doesn't regret it, though.

Magnus sits next to him and makes himself comfortable.

They check through the available movies and end up playing 27 dresses because apparently, it's Magnus's favourite movie.

He doesn't need any other reason.

Alec has a habit of making stupid comments when he is watching something, and sometimes it annoys his siblings.

Magnus doesn't seem annoyed, though.

He laughs at all his quips and comments.

"I never thought you'd be the type of person who talks during a movie." Magnus chuckles.

Alec smiles back at him.

Everything about Magnus's body pressed against his feels right to him.

A few hours pass, and Alec feels a weight on his chest and realises that Magnus is sleeping leaning heavily against him.

Alec breathes heavily. Magnus smells like sandalwood and something entirely unique that Alec can't quite put a finger on.

He pushes a strand of hair from his forehead and puts it behind his ears.

Magnus's body shivers lightly, and Alec calls the air hostess asking for a blanket. He covers the two of them with it, and Magnus sighs softly and shifts even closer to him.

Alec drifts to sleep and wakes up a few hours later to find himself in Magnus's arms.

He opens his eyes, and for some reason, Magnus is smiling at him as if he is something special.

As if they have been doing this for years.

He knows he shouldn't do this.

He should stop himself, but he doesn't know how.

He leans upwards slightly and kisses Magnus softly, and Magnus kisses him back easily.

They kiss slowly and lazily for a long time.

"Hi." Magnus whispers when they break apart.

"Hi."

[onetimetwotimesthreetimess]

single dad alec, dr magnus bane. lil rafe needs stitches 😢

“Daddy, it hurts.” 

Alec’s heart broke at his son’s cries.

He had taken Rafael to the playground, and his son was on the see-saw with another kid. Alec had received a call, and his attention had wavered for all but two seconds, but before he knew it, the other parent had pushed the see-saw down suddenly, throwing Rafael off, who was up in the air on the other side. 

Rafael had fallen down on his right shoulder, and it seemed like he had broken it.

Alec felt so incredibly guilty about his recklessness.

He shifted Rafael in his arms and kissed the top of his head.

“I know, baby. I know. I promise you it will be better in no time. We’re going to see a doctor and they will fix your arm okay?” He said softly.

Rafael hiccuped and nodded against his shoulder. 

“I don’t want stitches.” Rafael sobbed again. 

As young as Rafe was, he wasn’t someone who easily shared his pain with others. He was too much like Alec that way. 

So to see his son cry so easily kind of broke Alec’s heart.

“Ssshhh, Rafe. I promise you it’s going to be okay soon.” He assured his son.

The boy sniffled against his shoulder.

Alec walked towards the reception of the hospital and asked for a doctor.

“Dr. Bane is taking patients right now, I can get you an appointment with him.”

“Sure. Where can I find him?

The nurse pointed to the right corridor.

“Third room from there.” 

Alec was about to leave, but he turned toward the receptionist again. “Is this Dr Bane good with kids? My son is really scared of needles.”

The woman smiled at her. “Dr. Bane is the best pediatrician you can find.” 

Alec didn’t really care about the best.

People who were best at something were not always necessarily nice. 

Best did not equate to kindness. 

“And he’s great with kids. Your son will be in good hands.” She added gently.

Alec nodded and walked in the direction.

He knocked on the door, and a voice from inside asked him to enter the room.

Alec shifted Rafael in his arms slightly and walked in.

While the room had the same pattern as any other doctor’s office, there was a very warm quality to it. 

There was a wall that was covered with more than a few dozen pictures of children with their names and age written. 

There was a man in the picture with all the children, and Alec couldn’t stop staring.

He looked beautiful.

What in the Grey’s Anatomy hell was this? 

“Rafe. Hey buddy. We’re here.” He murmured softly in Rafael’s ears.

The boy clutched tighter onto his shoulders and buried his face in Alec’s neck. 

“Hey, so what do we have here?” The man who was sitting with his back facing the window outside with a file in his hand turned and asked.

As soon as the man turned, Alec stopped breathing. 

Holy fuck.

Dr Bane was a billion times more beautiful in reality.

Grey’s Anatomy could never. 

“Uhh…hi. This is Rafe. My son.” Alec stuttered. “He fell off the see-saw and broke his arm.” 

Magnus’s eyes softened at the boy. “Hi little man, will you turn around for me?”

Rafael tightened his hold around Alec’s neck. “Daddy—no.” 

Alec ran a gentle hand up his back. “Rafe. You gotta let the doctor see your arm.”

His son shook his head against his shoulder and mumbled something.

“You’re a cute one aren’t you?” Magnus said in a sweet voice.

“You’re cuter.” Alec replied, and then his eyes widened in horror when he realised he said it aloud.

Fuck. Oh, fucking hell.

This was why Alec was a single father.

Magnus blushed and let out a chuckle. 

“Oh my god. That was so inappropriate. I’m so so sorry.” Alec said. “Please don’t refuse to see my son just because his dad is an idiot.” 

“Are you always this charming?” Magnus giggled, and why did a grown man giggling made him feel so soft. 

“Well, I’m not always an idiot.” He replied.

Rafael sniffled against his shoulder again, and Alec remembered again why he was here—his son was hurt. 

Magnus’s eyes softened at Rafael. “Rafael. Will you turn around a second for me?”

Alec thought that Rafael would refuse again, but for some reason, the boy nodded. Slowly, Rafael lifted his face from his dad’s neck and turned towards Magnus.  

Magnus’s eyes crinkled at the corner. “Hi.”

“Hi.” 

“How’s your arm, darling?”

Rafael sniffled, but he was peering at Magnus thoughtfully for some reason. “Hurts.”

Magnus nodded. “Can you sit on that bed for me? I’ll need to check your arm. I promise I won't give you any needles.”

Alec shifted Rafe in his arms to take him to the bed, but the body patted his chest lightly, motioning to put him down.

Alec frowned and put Rafael down on the ground, and his son happily walked to the bed and sat there.

He smiled at Magnus.

Weird.

Rafael didn’t listen to anybody but Alec. 

Magnus stepped forward and started checking Rafe’s arm.

“You won’t need an injection for now. I’m going to put on a shoulder bandage so there’s no movement. But otherwise he’s good to go.” Magnus announced.

Alec let out a sigh of relief. “Thank god.” He took Rafael’s hand in his and kissed it softly. “You’re okay buddy. See? No needles.”

He took Rafael in his arms back and thanked Magnus.

Magnus took out a chocolate bar from his drawer and handed it to Rafael.

“Oh, Rafe doesn’t like chocol—” Before Alec could finish Rafael took the chocolate bar from Magnus and started eating it. 

The fuck?

Rafael hated chocolates. Refused to eat it even if his life depended on it. 

“Say thank you to Dr. Bane, Rafe.” 

Rafe waved his small hand and asked Magnus to come closer.

The other man raised an eyebrow but did as he was asked. “Closer.” Rafael repeated. 

Magnus closed the remaining distance between the three of them were barely inches apart.

Alec looked at Magnus’s beautiful face, and for a second, he forgot who he was or where he was. 

Only someone like him would get a crush on his son’s doctor.

“Rafe?”

Rafael leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on Magnus’s cheek, and the doctor’s face gleamed in surprise.

“Thank you, Dr. Bane.” Rafael blushed. 

“Can I keep him?” Magnus grinned.

You can keep me.

Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.

The two of them thanked and left.

A few days later, Alec got a call from Rafael’s school that he had fallen off the stairs while running and broken his leg.

Alec had been horrified and immediately cancelled his meeting to take his son to Magnus.

“Rafe, how did you break your leg not a week after breaking your arm?” He asked softly.

Rafael just sniffled against his chest.

“He’s a troublemaker isn’t he?” Magnus asked in surprise as soon as he saw Rafael.

“He usually isn’t. But he’s only 5 so.” He replied, his voice gentle.

Alec hadn’t been able to stop thinking about Magnus all week. 

It had been difficult to do anything else, which was surprising since Alec had never felt anything about anyone. 

And he had met the man once, for crying out loud.

Magnus checked Rafe and the injury seemed very superficial, so he was cleared out easily.

Magnus opened his drawer and took out a chocolate bar and handed it to Rafael, and his son took it—and ate it without complaining.

“You take care of yourself this time, okay? No getting into trouble.” He chuckled.

Rafael did the same thing as last time and kissed Magnus’s cheeks.

Alec would like to trade places with his son.

Three days later, Rafael had really bad stomach aches, and they had to go see Magnus again.

The doctor said that it wasn’t anything serious but Rafael pushed that it hurt really bad so they had ended up exchanging numbers in case of an emergency. 

Alec liked seeing Magnus. But he didn’t like seeing his Rafe in pain. 

Another four days later, Rafael padded into his room and started crying about headaches.

Alec didn’t know what but something was wrong. He knew children get sick and keep on falling everywhere, but this felt like something else.

“Please, Daddy.” Rafael had tears streaming down his face, and he immediately cradled his son against his chest.

“It’s okay. It’s okay, my baby. I’m going to call Magnus okay?”

He called Magnus in the middle of the night and asked if they could visit his place to get Rafael checked. 

“I’m so sorry. I know this was highly inappropriate but Rafael had been crying for hours.” He explained as soon as he entered Magnus’s place.

The man was wearing a peacock-printed silk gown. His face was bare, and his hair was falling on his face. 

Who gave this man the right to be so beautiful?

“It’s alright.” He said and checked Rafael.

Magnus frowned after checking Rafael up and motioned Alec to the other room.

They strolled away from Rafe, who was sleeping in Magnus’s room.

“Alec. Something is wrong with Rafael.”

Alec’s heartbeat quickened at that.

No.

“What? What’s wrong with him? No. No. You can fix it right?” He said urgently. “Magnus, you have to fix whatever it is. Is this why he’s been having all these stomach aches and dizzy spells?”

“Alexander listen—“

Alec took Magnus’s hand in his and clutched it tightly. “Magnus please. Rafael is my heart. I can’t—you need to fix him.”

“Alec shut up.” Magnus said. “Rafael is okay.”

He frowned. “You just said that something is wrong.”

Magnus shook his head. “Yes, something is wrong. But it’s not medical. I don’t know what it is but the headache and the stomach ache, none of that was real. It feels like he is lying.”

“My Rafe doesn’t lie.” Alec said firmly.

Magnus’s eyes softened. “He’s a child, Alec. Something is going on. Talk to him.”

Alec fidgeted for a second and then nodded.

He went to the room Rafael was in. He wasn’t sleeping, only pretending to be asleep. 

Alec smiled and sat next to him.

“Hi.” He whispered softly and carded his fingers through Rafael’s hair.

Rafael shifted and laid his head in Alec’s lap.

“Rafael. What’s going on?”

His son frowned at him.

“I know you didn’t have a headache. Neither did you have a stomach ache. Your leg wasn’t broken last week either.”

His son stayed silent and hid his face against his lap.

“Rafe. Talk to me, please.” He said softly.

Rafael turned, and he had tears streaming gently. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

Alec brushed the tears away and kissed his forehead. “Don’t cry. Tell me what’s wrong. Why have you been lying about getting sick? I’m worried, Rafe. Talk to daddy.” 

Rafael mumbled something against his shoulder.

“I can’t hear you.“

Rafael lowered his gaze. “I wanted to see Magnus.” 

“What?”

“I wanted to see Magnus again. And again. So I lied.” Rafael whispered.

What the fuck?

“You did all of this to see, Magnus?”

Rafe nodded.

“Why?”

His son just shrugged. “He’s nice.” 

Alec let out a soft chuckle.

“That’s the weirdest thing you have ever done.” He grinned.

Rafael wrapped his arms around Alec’s neck. 

“You want to hear a secret?”

Rafael raised an eyebrow and nodded.

“I like seeing Magnus again and again too.” 

Rafael beamed at that.

Was Magnus Bane magic or something?

“But I don’t like seeing you get hurt. Or fake hurt.” 

Rafael nodded apologetically. 

Magnus knocked on the door gently, and Alec motioned him to come in.

“Is everything okay?”

“Yeah.”

Alec picked up Rafael, and they were ready to go back home.

It’s now or never.

If his son can have the balls to plan this whole thing just to see Magnus, Alec can have some courage, too, right? 

“Hey, can I get your number?” Alec asked before leaving.

“You already have my number?” Magnus grinned.

Well fuck.

“That was for Rafe. I need your number for myself now.” He said nervously.

Magnus raised an eyebrow. “Do you now?”

Alec just shrugged.

“I thought you’d never ask.” 

“Apparently we needed the help of a five year old and a few fake injuries.” He chuckled.

Magnus raised an eyebrow at that.

“It’s a good story. I’ll explain if you give me your number.”

Magnus rolled his eyes at him fondly and gave him his number.

“Bye.” Magnus waved.

Rafael and Alec both gestured for him to come closer, and Magnus complied easily. 

This time, both of them planted a soft kiss on Magnus’s cheeks and then high-fived each other.

Magnus looked positively surprised by it.

“Get out of my house, you heathens.” He laughed and pushed them out of the door. 

[onetimetwotimesthreetimess]

the sexiest non sexual (?) things malec find about each other?

Magnus goes all soft when he sees Alec holding both Max and Rafe together in his arms. But Alec goes absolutely feral when it’s the opposite. The whole shadow world owes them favours so one of their friends/family will suddenly have two kids dropped in on them out of nowhere because Alec needed to be alone with his husband.

Alec in his consul mode. Magnus sometimes had to magic his eyes shut close otherwise the meeting would have to be cancelled right there.

Anytime Magnus pretends to turn away people for help or when he’s complaining the whole time while helping others. KINDNESS IS SEXY OKAY???

Alec trying to cook. He’s decent at it now because he wants the kids to eat healthy. Magnus thinks Alec in his penguin sweater (gifted by the kids) with a neon pink apron over it is the cutest thing. (And he’s right about it)

When they are fighting together. Battle husbands. They are petty little shits who always complete in the field and keep on challenging each other. Competition and playful banter is their love language. It does it for both of them.

[onetimetwotimesthreetimess]

Sorry for spamming you left and right😅 I will stop for now. Thank you in advance.

A fic with Jalouse!Magnus or Jalouse!Alec or have them both be jalouse in the same fic. yeah, it's gonna be magical to see them fight with people hehehehe

“Jace, why the fuck did you call me at this time on my off day?” Alec grumbles as soon as they enter the club.

“We needed your help.”

Magnus rolls his eyes at the blonde. “Of course.”

“This was a simple mission. You just had to get some intel.”

Izzy turns toward them with an apologetic grin. “Yes. But there were some complications and now there’s a mundane with sight in the picture. We need some information from him and I went to gather it but failed.”

Magnus, who was leaning on Alec’s shoulder, not really paying attention to all of them, raises an eyebrow. “You, Isabelle Lightwood, failed?”

Jace smirks at them, and Magnus knows he’s about to say some stupid shit. “The guy bats for the other team.”

“Okay I still don’t get why I’m being called on my off day. I had to leave the boys with mom at the last minute and they were not happy about it.” Alec groans. “Do you know how difficult it is to convince the two of them that we’re bailing on movie night.”

Jace’s smirk dies down at that. He’s an asshole, but he loves Rafael and Max with all his heart.

“We’re sorry but we really need the intel.” He explains. “And we need either of you for that.”

“Us?“

“You’re both into guys right?” Clary states, sipping her drink like a five-year-old.

Alec rolls his eyes. “No we’re just married to each other because of the amazing health insurance that the clave provides.”

Magnus chuckles at his husband and places a kiss on his cheeks.

“How can we help?”

Izzy points a finger at the two of them. “One of you needs to go flirt with that guy and get us the information.”

“You ruined our movie night for this?” Alec asks incredulously.

All of them nods.

“We’re not doing that.” Alec adds. “Magnus is not going to flirt with anyone while I’m here.” Alec announces and pulls Magnus closer to him by the waist.

Magnus grins at Alec’s reaction. Alec doesn’t get jealous like he used to almost a decade ago but he still has a possessive streak that Magnus enjoys entirely too much.

“Well they didn’t say I have to do it.” He says with a mischievous smile. “The stage is all yours, darling.”

Alec’s eyes meet his. “You want me to go flirt with some other guy?”

“Why not? I think it could be fun.”

“No.”

Jace, Izzy, Clary and Simon groan in unison. “If Magnus is not going to do it, then you have to do it. It’s just flirting, Alec.”

“I don’t know how to flirt.” Alec responds.

Untrue.

Alec is great at flirting with him.

“I beg to differ.”

“You bagged Magnus Bane.” Izzy says.

Alec throws his arms in the air. “I don’t know how I did it okay? Everyone needs to stop asking me that.”

Magnus grabs Alec’s face in his hands and kisses him softly. “You were very charming, Alexander.”

Alec huffs at him with fond exasperation.

“Do it. Do it. Do it.” Everyone starts chanting and Alec finally agrees.

“This will be fun.” Magnus adds because he is an asshole who likes to see Alec suffer.

Also because he really wants to see Alec with other people since Alec hates almost everyone except Magnus and their kids.

Alec begins to walk in the direction of the man but Magnus and Isabelle who somehow always are attuned to each other’s chaotic thoughts stop him.

“Wait.”

Magnus snaps his fingers to magic eyeliner on Alec while Isabelle forcibly opens up the first few buttons on his shirt.

Alec glares at him. “You’re a weird husband.”

Magnus bops his nose. “You love me.”

“What if I fall in love with the other guy? I don’t think it’ll be as much fun for you then.”

A chuckle escapes his body at the words. “I think I’ll live.”

Alec groans and finally walks towards their target.

Magnus claps his hand excitedly waiting for the fun to begin.

It doesn’t.

The opposite happen.

And Magnus regrets his stupid brain for his stupid ideas because Alec turns out to be great at flirting with other people too if the situation calls for it.

The shadowhunter easily slips on the bench next to the guy and Magnus isn’t even shocked at how easily the guy takes up to Alec.

The mundane with sight was an attractive looking guy. He was wearing a leather jacket and had blue coloured hair. He also has more than a few rings on his hands and Magnus knows how much Alec likes hand jewellery.

The guy gives Alec an appreciate glance from top to bottom. He shifts slightly on his bench and crosses his legs in front of Alec.

The two of them start talking something and his husband looks entirely in the element. Magnus knows that Alec is laser focused when there’s a mission and people’s lives on the line but it irks him just the littlest bit how comfortable Alec looks with the man.

The guy orders a drink for Alec, which looks like something that is too alcohol-y and opposite of his husband’s taste, but he drinks it nevertheless.

Magnus grumbles internally because he didn’t spend years trying to find the perfect drink for alcohol just for this random dude from nowhere to ruin it in a second.

“Wow. I did not think Alec would be this great at it.” Isabelle says proudly.

Jace, always the most dramatic bitch in the room wipes a fake tear from his eyes. “My boy. He did me so proud.”

“I don’t know why we wasted so much time when we had Alec.” Simon adds.

Assholes.

All of them.

“Hmmm.”

Isabelle gives him a look and then a gleam appears on her face. “Are you jealous Magnus?”

Magnus huffs at her. “Of this guy? Please.”

“Well you look jealous.” Jace grins.

Magnus gets drinks for everyone and gulps his down while watching the scene entirely too fast.

The guy says something that pulls a chuckle out of Alec in a way that his entire face lights up and it annoys Magnus to no end because only he is allowed to make Alec laugh like that.

And fine, he knows how stupid that sounds but it is what it is.

“This man is really into Alec.” Simon announces.

“Can’t blame him.” Magnus says and looks at Alec a little too dreamily.

He looks really really beautiful right now and Magnus can do nothing but stare at him. The eyeliner and the unbuttoned shirt have too much effect on Magnus and he has the urge to touch Alec.

The guy puts a hand on Alec’s shoulder and Magnus wants to plant lizards in his house.

If only he knew where the man lives.

It goes on another few minutes that feel more like hours have passed where the guy keeps on shifting closer to Alec to the point that their legs are touching each others.

And okay fine. Magnus is jealous.

So what?

Alec is the most handsome man in the world and everyone looks up to him. And ever since he has become the Consul, the list of people continuously thirsting over him, both shadow hunters and downworlders alike, has grown extremely long.

And while Alec’s jealously has gone down in recent years, Magnus’s has only grown. In a way that it never has with previous partners.

He just calls it the Alec effect.

After another few minutes, the guy puts a hand on Alec’s thigh and something burns inside of Magnus. A few glasses around them break and he pretends like it’s not his doing but the Lightwood siblings give him a knowing look that makes him roll his eyes.

“Are you alright, Magnus?” Jace grins at him.

“Fuck off.”

What finally does it for Magnus is when the guy drags his fingers across Alec’s neck, on his rune and Magnus sees red. It’s a sensitive spot for Alec and Magnus has spent years and years on becoming familiar to every inch of that spot. It’s where he kisses Alec when he is having a bad day and the shadowhunter immediately melts in his arms. It is also the spot where Magnus has marked Alec hundred of times.

He snaps his fingers under the table and suddenly the guy starts looking uncomfortable. He scratches his own neck and then his hands, followed by his arms. In a few seconds, the guy is scratching his body looking panicked.

Alec’s eyes flicker over him for a second and Magnus gives him an innocent look.

A few seconds later, Alec is saying something to the guy and the man sits up from his seat and goes in the direction of the washroom and Magnus barely tries to hide his smirk.

Alec straightens up to and starts walking back towards them.

As soon as he reaches them, he slips a piece of paper in Isabelle’s hand. “Here. It’s the information that you needed.”

Jace pats his back proudly. “Good job Alec. I am so proud of you.”

Alec glares at him. “Fuck off.”

“How was he?” Isabelle asks with a smirk that is directed towards Magnus.

“He was okay. He knew a lot about the shadow world and surprisingly did not make me want to scratch my hai run annoyance.”

“He gave you your number.” Isabelle announces, turning the paper that has a phone number scribbled on it.

Alec scratches his hair, embarrassed. “Yeah. He asked me out but then suddenly he said his body was feeling weird so he had to leave.”

Magnus looks at the number and the fact that the guy asked Alec out. Added with the fact that Alec did not entirely hate the guy brings out something primal inside of him and he just wants to drag Alec across to their house.

So he does just that.

“We’re going home.” Magnus announces.

“Why don’t we stay for another hour or so. Maybe we can call that guy too. He seems fun.” Jace smirks.

Would Alec forgive him if he ever kills his parabatai?

“Fine. Whatever. You have ruined our night already.” Alec grumbles.

The guy comes back from the washroom and Jace being the little shit he was starts walking in his direction to call him but Magnus stops them.

“No, we’re going home.” He repeats.

Alec comes closer to him and puts an arm around his shoulder. “Is everything okay?”

“Yes. We just need to go home right now.”

“Are the boys okay? Did something happen?” Alec asks again and Magnus groans.

Why the fuck won’t Alec get it?

They really need to go home.

“Yeah. They are fine.”

The four of them start grinning in hid direction behind Alec’s back. “I think Magnus really needs to go home. You should listen to him.”

A confused frown appears on his husband’s face. “What’s going on?”

“Nothing.” Magnus replies avoiding everyone’s annoying gaze.

“Magnus didn’t like your new friend much.” Isabelle announces.

“What?” Alec asks and he sees Clary open his mouth but before anyone can say anything else, Magnus opens a portal and drags Alec inside it.

They land inside their living room and before Alec can ask anything Magnus pushes him against the wall and kisses him.

“Wha-?” Alec tries but easily starts kissing Magnus with equal fervour.

Magnus wraps his arms tightly around Alec’s waist and the kiss turns deeper and hungrier.

Alec pulls back a few second later and starts chuckling. “Baby, what’s going on?”

“Nothing.” He replies and pushes his hands in Alec’s hair and grabs them a little harshly making Alec hiss.

Alec peers at him intently and then suddenly his eyes widen in recognition.

Fuck.

He knows.

“Wait a second. Are you jealous?”

“I’m not jealous.”

Alec grins at him. “You look very jealous, baby.”

“Shut up.” He grumbles and kisses Alec’s neck. The man turns his hair slightly to give easy access to him.

“You are the one who asked me to do it.” Alec chuckles but it turns into a moan at the touch.

“That dude was annoying. Kept on touching you.” Magnus groans and puts a leg between Alec’s.

Alec wraps his arms around Magnus’s neck. “I think he was okay. Was kinda cute.”

He closes his eyes because he knows what Alec is trying to do but it’s working.

He is getting more worked up.

He pulls on Alec’s hair harshly. “What did you say?”

Alec gasps against his mouth. “I think he was cute.”

“Are you trying to get punished.” He says and bites Alec’s lips.

“Maybe.”

Magnus drags Alec to their bedroom and shoves him down on the bed. He claims on top of Alec, who has a shit eating grin on his face and starts unbuttoning his shirts.

He drags his fingers across Alec’s chest in an agonising slow motion that has Alec whimpering slightly.

He slowly removes Alec’s pants and by the end of the night his husband is a moaning mess. Magnus marks down Alec’s entire body but specially that spot where the other guy touched Alec because he is a petty shit like that.

“Say it, Alexander”

“Say what?”

“That you’re mine.”

“I’m yours, baby.” Alec replies and traces a finger from Magnus’s forehead to his lips.

“Mine.” He repeats.

“Always yours.”

For Lightwood-Bane family prompts :)

Maybe their food choices and preferences 👉👈

MAX: Max is a very very picky eater. Malec has went through 700 different wars but nothing beats convincing Max to eat healthy. After continuous blackmailing and bribery—they would finally find something that Max likes but Max being the little shit that he is—would refuse to eat that thing the next day. It’s a struggle to find a food good enough for him every single day. This one time, Malec gets so fuxking tired with Max’s theatrics that they took a break from him. They let Max eat whatever the fuck he wanted for a whole ass week. Max got bored of eating ice cream three times a day. He went to Alec and Magnus and asked him why they’re not asking him to eat veggies anymore—do they not love him anymore. Malec gets all soft and feeds him broccoli and all that disgusting shit. Apparently, Max thought that annoying your family 24x7 is a love language. He went back to being a little shit the next day tho.

RAFAEL- Rafael would literally eat anything. He spent years on the streets and some habits are hard to break. Malec notices this and their heart kinda hurts so they try to make Rafe understand slowly and lovingly that he’s allowed to refuse to eat if he doesn’t like smth. (He doesn’t have to be a little shit like Max but he’s still a child and he gets to act out too). One night, Alec goes out to get some water and finds Rafael sneakily eating some cake that they had put in the fridge and he’s scared when his eyes land on Alec but Alec just takes him in his arms and the two of them eats the whole fckn cake sitting on the kitchen floor and if Magnus and Max found them two hours later eating cake—no one has to know about it.

ALEC- Alec has a very refined palette. He didn’t use to but he’s married to Magnus fuxking Bane and that man has taken Alec to a billion fucking dates and introduced every single cuisine on the planet. His favourites are Korean, Indian, Italian, Mexican and Indonesian (because of Rafe and Magnus cause he’s still a fucking simp). Alec is the one who makes everyone eat in their house. You know that one person in the family who eats the broccolis, tomatoes, cashews and all other stuff people remove from their food?? Alec is that out of the four of them. He’s not the best cook but he has the stupidest husband on the planet and two annoying kids who would never eat healthy if he wasn’t there. So he has become a decent cook in the past few years.

MAGNUS- my man’s a mystery okay? And so are his food habits. Magnus doesn’t have a favorite cuisine (except Indonesian). He always always loves to try new things so his favorite meals/cuisines changes every other week. The rest three have learned to keep up with him. However, Magnus appreciates a good comfort meal. New York Pizza, anything Alec cooks for him, Jace’s stupid smoothies (he likes it for some reason. He steals it from that fuxker every single morning), sunday pancakes made my Rafe and Max (do they burn it? Yes. Does Magnus still eat it? no. He magics another ones and pretends like he eat the burnt ones). There are only two rules when it comes to Magnus’s eating habits and thats—1) breakfast is THE most important meal. (Which is already canon yk so), 2) the four of them have atleast one meal together as a family every day.

[onetimetwotimesthreetimess]

Okay I’ll do you one better:

What do you think are some things Alec never thought he’d like that Magnus introduced him to (same for Magnus)?

I think Magnus likes going gym cause he likes seeing bendy, stupidly strong and sweaty Alec and Alec likes Magnus’ strawberry lip gloss cause it means he gets to taste his lips. Dinner is served.

strawberry lip gloss shaksbaksk

I’m not sure if this was about LRHWY Malec or malec in general. So I’ll give answers for Malec in general only.

ALEC

I think Alec likes dressing up. Not very over the top ofc, but his fashion sense has gotten way better since he got with Magnus. Remember his outfit in trsom? Or the Hawaiian shirts in SOBH? So yeah, Alec likes dressing up. It’s even better because he has realised that Magnus is a hoe for him too—and he likes to tease his husband.

Alec doesn’t hate parties as much. I mean he still isn’t a fan of parties-parties but he likes small get together where he gets all his friends and family together at Magnus’s loft (his loft, his place, his home). He specially LOVES organising a party if it’s for Magnus’s birthday or to celebrate Max losing a tooth or Rafael being able to do that card magic trick he has been trying to learn from Simon.

MAGNUS

Magnus hates trekking and camping okay? It’s just not for him. He’s made to live in lavish hotels and silk sheets and not lift a single finger. But Alec begs him to join him on a trek once and Magnus kinds of hates it in the beginning but then Alec looks so excited and it’s infectious so Magnus ended up liking the trek. It only gets worse when they get Rafael, who is very much like Alec and likes to go on stupid treks and camping and Magnus and Max just sighs in annoyance. (Even though they secretly like it too)

Magnus isn’t much for weapon training and all but Alec introduced him to archery once and they both know Magnus is only pretending when he says he doesn’t know how to do it. (If you wanted me to grope you from behind—you just had to say it Magnus.”

+1 Alec with an eyeliner. Magnus applied it on him once and then lost control of his magic when Alec opened his eyes. Alec kind of does it every once in a while just to see Magnus lose control again sakhsoqnw

[onetimetwotimesthreetimess]

it’s been a while so 3 things abt malec that people would be surprised abt (together & separate)

1. Everyone things Magnus and Alec would be all freaked out in the field when they are sent on separate missions but it’s not true. The two of them love each other but more than that there’s a lot of respect and trust in each other’s capabilities. Even if they are freaking out on the inside, they know that if the other one is going on a mission—they can handle it on their own. So they do not, ever, meddle in each other’s work. Even if it’s a dangerous job.

2. They are not perfect people and they are not perfect parents either. They mess up like everyone else too. Sometimes they disagree on the parenting aspects like how much should Max be allowed to engage with his demon side (like talking to Elyass). Alec just assumed that Rafael would grow up to become a shadowhunter until they had a disagreement and then Alec talked to Rafael about what he wants.

3. Everyone knows Alec is a hoe for Magnus. But Magnus is an even bigger hoe for Alexander Gideon Lightwood. Sometimes Alec has to barely do a thing and before you know it, Magnus is ripping apart Alec’s clothes like they personally offended him. There are also other times when Alec puts a little show for Magnus where he tries to most ridiculously outrageous outfits like hot pink pants with orange zebra printed shirt. Magnus wants to puke at the clothes but he ends up dragging Alec to the changing room.

P.S. I didn’t get the separate part. Do you mean things malec does without each other that people would be surprised about? Or was this ask about lrhwy malec lol. Let me know and I shall deliver that too. Hope you liked these Annie boo🌻

[onetimetwotimesthreetimess]

Hello, i’m back to scream and cry a little and just be grateful cause Btlio part 1 was a beautiful journey.

Promises

I’m gonna disappoint a lot of people by saying I’m happy Malec didnt get back together (yet). It felt like they had made promises to each other but also promises to themselves that needed to be fulfilled. Magnus committed to a beautiful life with his besties and son in his birth country. Alec committed to loving his kids and family and pursuing more than his current career. They both sort of have lives they need to live right now to fulfill themselves. I’m sure their paths will cross again and they will be so much more ready to create a life together.

Differences

Also think about it, they are both so different? Like they have all this love, they know each other from 20 years ago, they know their core characteristics and values. As Alec said, they really don’t know each other as older adults. A few weeks together reliving a love that once was is only a prelude of being in a relationship. I think they both have work to do and would need more time to get to know each other again.

Young Love

Yeah i love this one. Just that ‘fuck if we’re in love’ vibe that ignites a fire within. Alec needed to go to Indonesia as much as Magnus needed him there. It almost felt like they came together to remind each other how loved they are, how beautiful their lives are no how much more beauty is out there. Alec dedicated so much time to his family and kids and I think being with Magnus reminded him he needs to fulfill his needs too. I’m happy too they kinda got the goodbye their younger selves never had.

Love Story

I’m so excited to see the progressions in Malec’s relationship after this. Will they remain friends? Keep in touch for birthdays and celebrations? Will their love continue in their hearts and in their children’s? It feels like they will always be in each other’s orbit now. That 20 years a part was time for them to build love within themselves, with their families, with their children. I was sobbing at Magnus painting, it was so cute and just such a reminder of a beautiful time of their lives. True love is forever :)

L + B kids

LOVE THEM! I just hope their bond keeps growing and they have awesome friendships. Poor baby Ari and her health problems had me so soft :( I love how Alec loves his kids (and Magnus too)

Second chances + Happy endings

It’s crazy cause although Malec aren’t together, it felt like they got a second chance to experience a different kind of happiness. Like Magnus got to give his younger self the closure he never got and Alec got to remember that he matters too. Magnus sending that recommendation and giving Alec the support always to live truthfully to himself. Alec being there to help Magnus move back home and remind him of all the happy memories that place can bring. It feels like they don’t need to live in the ‘what if’ anymore, they can accept that life is so much more complex than their own desires. I hope their unconditional love and memories of their time together will give them the strength to keep on going (no matter what).

Anyway, i love it all so much and am SO excited to see more of this series. It’s just so different cause it’s authentic and raw and just real. Like I get it, sometimes shit is fucked and there’s nothing you can do but feel through it. It’s not angst for angst sake but rather a reflection on the complexity of life.

You’re amazing. Keep doing what you do Eeshu. Not everyone gonna love it or get it but that’s their journey.

Hello my little bean,

I love you so much. I’m always so thankful for your words.

A few weeks together reliving a love that once was is only a prelude of being in a relationship.

- this. You get it. These few weeks were just them being in love. They don’t really know each other because it’s been two decades. That is a long time. Loving and knowing is not the same. You’re so right, this is just the prelude.

And yes, this was them getting a second chance to say goodbye because everything ended abruptly back then.

I don’t think they will be in touch for a while. It would be too raw, too difficult for now.

They’re both going through a transition phase in their lives, and these few days, Meeting each other helped them. They helped each other through this. Regardless of how it ends, the love matters. They were here, together. It will always matter.

Thank you for your kind words, Mia. This fic (including future parts) are a bit difficult to write so all your support means the world to me. Your words are always a delight to read. Thank you for the constant support. I am love you. ❤️🌈

I somehow got to read the whole chapter (28k words) and I loved it. And then I checked later and only a part of it was uploaded. Idk what exactly happened but I'm really glad I got to read the whole thing.

It was so so so good eeshu. Cannot read for all of the other stories in btlio.

What will the next story be about?

I barely posted it for an hour or so how did so many of you had read it by then jsjsjsjsksk I make a blunder once and the whole world witnesses. RUDE.

Thank you, bb. It’s easily become one of my favorite works of mine so I’m gladly everyone else feels that way as well.

I’m working on the next two parts right now. I’m not sure which one I’ll post first.

1. One of them is around adult married Malec again. All LB kids move out and then malec realises that they kind of don’t know each other anymore? like their kids became their entire life and they forgot their relationship. The story is about falling in love each other again. Or trying atleast.

2. The second is Max, Ari and Rafael and a huge loss that the three deal with.

EESHU OMG!!!!!

I just read your post!! How are you feeling now???? What happened was so scary.

The body is a piece of shit sometimes. But you gotta listen to that piece of shit tho smh.

I hope you get to rest tomorrow and even if you HAVE TO go back to work tomorrow, I hope you get to take it easy.

And this doesn’t define your credibility god knows shit is hard for everyone (don’t even get me started on the climate these days) you are bad bitch and what happened does not and could never change that 😤😤😤😤

Please please please be careful (I know sometimes it’s not up to you but idk what else to say ughhhhh)

As a last resort, you can be a professional reader and analyst of lbaf (that’s a job I made up - work from home with unlimited chai 😇😇😇😇)

I love you! Please be safe, love. And remember to hydrate 💚

PS -

You 🤝 Max

Passing the fuck out during intense situations (Max’s was more embarrassing let’s be real)

Secondly, this was so so sweet Dani. Thank you so much.

I’m feeling better now. I got an off for tomorrow cause my colleagues probably realised that they almost bored me to death ksksksksks

I did not survive the past 2 years to die like a basic bitch. I just think it’s hella funny how my body saw people and straight up went- NOT TODAY BITCH.

I love you, thank you again. This made me feel so uwuwuwu. 🌻
