#shadowhunters 02x20

[gothic--fairy]

Hi, can you write about Malec in 2x20 where he got injured from the dragon when he is trying to closed the rift and Alec is really worried when magnus does not wake up (I'm sorry I'm not good at writing description) Thank You

Not Ready to Lose You 

Malec Drabble #15 

“Magnus!” Alec could pinpoint the exact moment when Magnus lost consciousness, his knees giving up under the weight of his body. The rift was closed, thanks to his magic, but the demon managed to escape, almost taking Magnus with him. 

“Magnus!” Alec called out again, crouching beside him and cupping his face in his hands. There was a small stream of blood on the side of his head, a shallow scrape, but no other visible injuries. Alec found his pulse and listened to his breathing, thanking the Angel for that even, steady rhythm.  

“Alec, we need to move. There might be more demons around here.” Izzy spoke up from the other side of Magnus and looked him deep in the eyes. She was worried about Magnus, but there was nothing they could do for him. They needed another warlock. 

“Wait.” Alec said, looking through Magnus’ jacket and pulling out his cellphone. “Magnus have introduced me to one of his friends. Catarina. He told me that if anything ever happened, she was the one I could trust.”  

It was a long shot, but Alec had to try it. He knew that Catarina was actually one of Magnus’ oldest and closest friends and since he and Magnus broke up, she might not like to hear from him very much. But it was Magnus who needed her, not him. 

“Catarina?” he asked after she picked up. “It’s.. It’s Alec. Alec Lightwood. Yes, Magnus is with me, but he’s injured. A demon attacked him and he’s not waking up. We’re near the rift the demons were coming from.” 

There was a moment of silence and suddenly a portal opened not too far from them. Alec had only met Catarina once before, but he immediately recognized her long dark hair and the fierce look in her eyes. 

She didn’t waste a second, coming to her knees next to Alec and running her hands over Magnus’ body. A bright golden-colored magic flew from her fingers, wrapping Magnus like a blanket and looking for injuries. It wasn’t long until the tension in her face subsided and she let her magic come back to her, leaving the wound on Magnus’ head already sealed. 

“He’s okay. He had a minor concussion, but I took care of it. It’s not the reason he’s not waking up, though. With the amount of magic he used, I wouldn’t be surprised if he slept for several days.” 

Finally, Alec could feel his heart slowing down as he let his head fall against his hands on Magnus’ chest, sighing in relief.  

“Thank you.” he breathed out, looking at Catarina. Panic left his body and the lack of adrenaline caused a abrupt wave of exhaustion bear down onto him.  

There was a strange look in Catarina’s eyes. It was irresolute, like she wanted to say more, maybe even yell at Alec for what he’d done to Magnus, but something was keeping her from doing that. 

“You really do love him, don’t you?” she said at last, her voice coming to a whisper. Both her and Izzy were looking at Alec now, waiting for his answer.  

“Yeah. I do. I don’t think I can live without him anymore.”

Catarina agreed to help them take Magnus to the Institute. Alec didn’t want to leave his side, but as a leader, he had to get back. After laying Magnus down on his bed, Alec returned to Izzy an the rest of the Shadowhunters, but every now and then he’d come back and check on him.

After couple of hours, they still haven’t heard anything from Clary or Jace. On one hand, it was a relief - it meant that everything was going as it should and Valentine haven’t completed his plan yet. Alec was relying on the Parabatai bond, which he shared with Jace, to warn him if something went wrong.

On the other hand, though, the waiting was slowly killing Alec. All the demons have mystically vanished and there was nothing they could do. Just sit and wait. In the end, it was Izzy who suggested he should take a break. He spent more time in the monitoring center than anyone else, going over the files and looking for something they missed, something that could help them take even a little step forward. 

That was how he once again found himself in his room, watching Magnus sleep. He looked peaceful and content, not the way he should after fighting a demon. The covers were pulled up almost to his shoulders and even the smudges of his makeup seemed intentional. Alec has already stripped him of his jacket and his shoes, hoping to make him comfortable.

In contrast, Alec wasn’t feeling so well. He was tired and he could feel a headache creeping up on him, which is why he decided to lie down for a bit. Not slipping under the sheets, he laid next to Magnus and focused on his breath.  

Even after Catarina’s assurance that Magnus was exhausted but alright, he couldn’t get rid of tense feeling in his chest. A calmer, more reasonable part of Alec was telling him that everything would be okay and it was only a matter of time, but the second, anxious part was screaming at Magnus to open his eyes.  

Gradually, he found himself inching closer to Magnus. Resting his head on his shoulder, playing with the little arrow on one of his necklaces and listening to the beat of his heart. 

It was one of the things Alec missed the most. Doesn’t matter how many times he woke up in the middle of the night, it was there - the low steady sound of his heartbeat right next to Alec’s, calming his mind and grounding him even during the craziest days.  

It was hard to remind himself that it wasn’t his place anymore.  

Dozing off, he felt Magnus draw in a deeper breath, one of his hands curling around Alec’s waist and caressing down his side. For a second, it was a sweet normal morning, like many that they shared in the last couple of weeks. As if nothing has changed.

“Alexander?” 

Alec went stiff, immediately starting to pull away and muttering a quiet ‘sorry’. It was over the line, he realized. Of course it was over the line. 

“Wait.” Magnus tried again, his voice hoarse and his arm firmly placed around Alec. “It’s okay, Alec. You don’t have to go.” 

It made Alec finally look at Magnus, watching his slightly parted lips and the vertical pupil of his cat eyes. He probably wasn’t able to hold the spell, not yet, revealing their true form and Alec knew, he was one of the very few people Magnus trusted enough not to care about it. Or he used to be, at least.  

“Thank you.” Magnus told him. “For not leaving me out there.” 

“You know, I could never do that.” Alec said, letting their locked gazes linger. They both mirrored the same feeling - their problems couldn’t be solved with a kiss or sleepy cuddling session, but it was the look of ‘I hope we work things out’ that made Alec believe they still had a chance. 

He wasn’t prepared to lose Magnus. And he never would be.

Here it is! ^^ I didn’t really plan on making it so long, to be honest. Does this even count as drabble anymore? 

The kind of a reconciliation scene and the presence of Catarina happened out of the blue as well, hh. Today was full of surprises! 

Also, my dad came to ask me something just as I was posting this and man I never clicked out of Tumblr so fast! It was even worse because I had a notebook with all of my notes on ALL of my fanfics opened and lying right next to me! He doesn’t speak english very well, but still it would get so awkward if he saw anything in there. Damn me and my straightforward notes, hh!

[salmonthestoryteller]

20 questions, writer's edition

I was tagged by @lambourngb - This was harder to fill out then it first appeared, btw.

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

118

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

516,223.  I never looked that much at my statistics page before so that’s exciting to look at.

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Oh my gosh, so many.  25 different ones on ao3, 9 more that were never cross posted from the pit of voles, and at least 5-10 fandoms from prior to either of those sites.  LJ, Yahoo Groups, BBS boards, etc.    A partial list includes: Roswell New Mexico (2019) (My most prolific with 40 fics on ao3 and more here on tumblr I never cross posted there.), Hetalia, Yuri on Ice, Supernatural, Samurai Warriors, Uta no Prince-sama, Voltron, Shadowhunters, My Hero Academia, Pirates of the Caribbean, Animal Kingdom, The Old Guard, The Walking Dead, Dynasty Warriors, The Witcher, Xyber 9, Shadow Raiders, Mummies Alive, Babylon 5, and Star Trek.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes (The Old Guard) (Yeah, I had this one on anonymous for awhile.) 

Until the TIme is Through (Roswell New Mexico) (Part of my Canon Divergent To the Moon and Back Series) 

I Want You (Roswell New Mexico) (NSFW Malex) 

Crash and Burn (Roswell New Mexico) (Part of my Canon Divergent To the Moon and Back Series) 

Snow (Hetalia) (NSWF IvanxAlfred) 

5. What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

I’m torn between three actually:

Dormant (Hetalia)  I always say I love two endings, happy endings and greek tragedies, but I rarely write the greek tragedies.  Dormant is one of my exceptions.  Hetalia has one character who is hinted at being immortal, and I took that and wrote a fic about an Extinction Level Event and him watching the other characters die around him while he can’t.  I’ve always been really proud of this fic, despite it being one of the saddest things I’ve ever written.

Unclean (Roswell New Mexico)  Which is almost the darkest fic I’ve ever written.  It’s about Michael’s time in the home of the “Fundamentalist Religious Freaks” and the exorcism he mentioned.  It ends after the drifter and is very much hurt, no comfort.

Hell is… (Roswell New Mexico)  This is a ficlet I wrote for a prompt.  And it’s a dark take about what could have happened to the pod squad if they’d been caught after the murders.

6. What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?

Almost all my fics have happy endings.  So, what is the happiest?  Probably either:

Deck the Halls (Roswell New Mexico)  An Echo & Malex Christmas fic that is as fluffy as a fic that involves the Pod Squad, Christmas, and being attacked by anti-alien paramilitary groups can be.  (Also, Echo has a cat called Grisabella the Glamour Cat because Max should not be allowed to name anything and nobody can convince me that wouldn’t be absolute canon in a committed Echo relationship.)

Or

In Over Their Heads (Yuri on Ice)  A Seungchuchu with a fake engagement and unrequited feelings that aren’t actually unrequited. (And where Sara is Seung’s best friend because apparently I always write them that way and have no regrets.)

7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you've written?

I don’t write crossovers.  Because I rarely find myself sold on the idea that the two stories exist in the same verse or can think of a way the characters would interact that would inspire me to write a fic.

8. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes, and pretty much anything.  M/M, F/F, M/F, and Poly.  Plus a large variety of kinks.  (Yes, I was often on kink memes back in my LJ days.)

9. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I try to?  I used to never respond because I didn’t know what to say, and then I tried to respond to every one, but there would be long gaps between when I checked and then I felt bad for responding so late, and sometimes I still don’t know what to say so I just end up not replying.  XD

10. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Surprisingly very little.  Some harsh criticism - one in particular actually hit young me hard enough to stop writing for a while back in the day.  But I tend to get more hate for my meta than my fics.  Which is odd since my fics are usually very much representative of my meta.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I’m aware of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Only one - a Dynasty Warrior fic of mine about the bond between CaoCao and Xiahou Dun was translated into Chinese.  I mean, Dynasty Warriors is a video game literally based on The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is based on chinese history, so for someone to want to translate one of my fics about it was incredible to me. Links below.

Honor 

Translation: https://archiveofourown.org/works/4589910

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No.  I would probably drive a co-author nuts, tbh.  I’m so inconsistent.  And at the same time, I have a thousand thoughts.

14. What's your all time favourite ship? to write for?

I don’t actually have one?  RNM has become my top fandom to write for, there’s no doubt.  And while I think Malex is in the most fics among them, I’m not sure if that number surpasses other ships in other fandoms I’ve written for altogether.  In fact, according to ao3, only 15 fics of my 40 RNM even have Malex in them at all, and not all of those are Malex-centric.  In fact in at least 3, they’re a side ship.

I’d say that I probably write almost as many fics that are gen, friendship, family/found family feels, and character introspection as I do shipping fics.  Which doesn’t really leave room for any one ship to be at the forefront.

15. What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?

None, I hope.  LOL.  There’s definitely a few that I have left uncompleted for a long time and feel guilty about but I’m not ready to say I’ve abandoned them yet.  There’s a ton of ideas I have written down that I may never actually write.  But none I have started that I don’t want to finish.

16. What are your writing strengths?

The three consistent compliments I’ve gotten are:  I capture the characters’ voices in my dialogue.  My writing tone is unique.  My smut is super hot.  XD  (I have no explanation for the last one, because to be honest ¾ of my smut is always foreplay.)

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Action scenes.  I have been told before that my action scenes are very confusing.  Also, I rarely give physical descriptions of people’s appearances because I honestly rarely stop to consider what they’re wearing or how their hair is done.

18. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

It’s common in a couple of fandoms of mine, and I actually don’t mind it. Depending on the fic, it can be more realistic to me than otherwise.  (I just appreciate it when the translation is also provided.)

19. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  But I never posted that one.  Um… I think Ranma ½ was the first one I ever posted for others to read?

20. What's your favourite fic you've written?

Oh, gosh. Um… I know at one point I listed Dormant.  But I think right now if I had to choose I’d say either

School of Hard Knocks (Roswell New Mexico)  Which is my Michael-centric fic set in the lost decade.

Or

Wonderful Silence

Malec Drabble #12

“Okay. No more drinks for you.” Alec said mockingly as he pulled down Magnus’ jacket from his shoulders and began stripping of his own.  

“Oh, c’mon, Alexander.” Magnus replied with a wide smile on his lips, spreading his arms. “The night is still young!”

“Yeah, and you’re getting dramatic.” As if to prove Alec’s point, Magnus gracefully bowed down on an imaginary stage, making Alec laugh deep in his lungs. 

Neither of them were actually drunk or even that tipsy - Alec was never much of a drinker and it wasn’t that easy for a Shadowhunter to get drunk anyway, but Magnus after a couple of drinks and no magic to ward off the adverse effects? Yeah, not a good combination. Or maybe yes, depending on the way you looked at it. 

He seemed more careless and unconcerned, but in a good way. As if all the burdens that weighed him down on daily basis suddenly disappeared without a trace. He wasn’t the High Warlock of Brooklyn saving his people or Magnus Bane helping the Clave capture Valentine and end the war. He was just Magnus. A man who couldn’t keep his hands off of his amazingly attractive boyfriend and maybe he was truly getting a tiny bit dramatic.  

But with ‘Fabulous’ for a middle name, who wouldn’t?

“We’re going to bed, you know.” Alec exclaimed after successfully untangling Magnus’ hands from around his waist and pulling him towards the bedroom.  

“Oh, are we?” Magnus chuckled, catching the sweatpants Alec threw his way. He wasn’t that drunk. 

After a few minutes they were both comfortably curled under the sheets, Magnus lying more on top of Alec than beside him. There was this place right under Alec’s collar bone where he could press his cheek and still be able to both hear Alec’s heartbeat and feel Alec’s lips in his hair. He brought his hand up, the tips of his fingers trailing patterns on Alec’s chest until he could reach the soft hair on the nape of his neck. 

There was a sense of normalcy in the way they held each other, slowly falling asleep. It was something Magnus has never quite experienced with many people before. There were still moments when things got awkward or uncomfortable, but not with Alec. They had some getting-used-to time, but overall it was all about exploring each other’s habits and routines. About Alec, who absolutely hated sleeping on his stomach, but was always the one to turn off all the lights. And about Magnus, who constantly forgot to wash off his makeup and had tons of makeup wipes hidden wherever he could. In the nightstand, for example. And under the bed. And on the top shelf of a bookcase. Or his wardrobe, his table and pretty much everywhere else. 

“Hmm.. this is so nice.” Alec whispered, already dozing off, his hand moving up and down Magnus’ back. 

“What? Being in bed with me? Well, thanks for noticing.”  

“No.” Alec laughed, the motion shaking through Magnus’ body, making him feel every breath Alec took. “Just listen. The silence is wonderful. No phones ringing, no one needing our help or getting themselves into another dangerous situation. It’s so nice.” 

Yes, Magnus had to admit, it really was nice. As much as he wanted to protect the people he cared about, make sure they’re all safe and happy, he loved moments like this. Lying in bed, not worrying about tomorrow, being with Alec. It was that easy.  

He could get used to this.

Here you go! Hope I didn’t stray too much from your original idea. I didn’t want to make them drunk, but Magnus is kinda tipsy, I guess? Honestly, I don’t even know what happened, hh.

The Ones We Love

Malec Drabble #10

Set after s02e20 - Beside Still Water. Magnus and Alec talk about the breaking of Alec and Jace’s Parabatai bond. 

There were a lot of things Magnus has lost over the course of his life. Things that seemingly didn’t matter that much, but still left him brokenhearted and things that felt like the worst kind of poison, slowly eating away his soul. He had never regretted them, though. Never felt sorry for falling in love, never gave up after losing yet another loved one. It was all a part of his life, he reminded himself. It formed him into the kind of a person he is now. Both the pain and the love.  

Even after closing his heart, he always cherished little slivers of hope and trust somewhere deep inside. He didn’t let anyone see them, but they were there, waiting for someone to find them and bring him back from the dark. It was Alec, his Alec, that made him feel alive again. 

That’s why, if you asked him few hours ago what would happen then without Alexander, he wouldn’t have an answer. This wasn’t the usual type of love and hurt that could be healed over time. As much as Alec’s soul was connected to the soul of his Parabatai, Magnus’ own was as well. In a way, it felt like there has been no one before Alec. Like no feelings have ever been so strong, so pure to be called love. And there certainly would be no one after Alec was gone.  

Even if it scared a little part of Magnus sometimes, he couldn’t deny it. He didn’t wan to. All he wanted was to enjoy having his dear Shadowhunter back in his arms, his lips pressed securely to his own and their hands never to be torn apart again. 

And as they laid on the bed with entwined limbs and soft kissed patterns on their skins, he knew Alec wanted it, too. They were both a lost cause when it came to each other.  

But there was also something else hidden in Alec’s eyes. Magnus didn’t notice it at first, too lost in the melodic sound of Alec’s sincere heartfelt laugh. It was one of those rare occasions when he let himself go and a beautiful genuine smile appeared on his lips, scrunching his nose and leaving crinkles in the corners of his eyes. 

Only now, Magnus could see the light tension in his shoulders and the tiny bit of lasting sorrow behind his eyes. It stung Magnus’ heart to see him like that. Losing a Parabatai was more than traumatic and even the strongest of men couldn’t keep themselves complete. Yes, Jace was back and alive, but that didn’t make the awful memory any less real. And any less painful.  

“Alexander?” Magnus spoke up gently, resting his hand on Alec’s cheek, pressed against Alec’s side with their faces mere inches away. “Is everything alright?”

The question made Alec smile again, as if there wasn’t a thing that could be wrong when he was here and now with Magnus. Except, the smile didn’t reach his eyes. 

“Of course.” he said, bringing his own hand on top of Magnus’. “Everything’s perfect.” 

“I thought we were already past the ‘don’t push me away’ part.” Magnus tried to mirror Alec’s smile, but left his face open and welcoming, letting Alec know he was willing to talk about it, to listen. 

There was a moment of hesitance, when Alec looked away a took a deep breath, bracing himself. 

“It’s just.. Jace?” he whispered, holding more tightly onto Magnus’ hand. “Ever since I felt our bond.. breaking, I can’t get it out of my head. I keep telling myself that he’s okay, but doesn’t matter how hard I try, I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s like watching it on replay again and again.”

Magnus could hear the exact second when Alec’s voice gave up. He almost lost his best friend, his brother, a part of his very soul. It wasn’t something you could simply forget about. And Magnus understood that. He himself had memories that haunted him to this day. 

“I know.” he said, Alec’s eyes finally finding his again. “It’s a frightening thought, isn’t it? To feel someone slipping between your fingers with nothing to be done. It’s the worst kind of fear.”

Alec seemed to recall the same moment as Magnus - the two of them lying in this bed, Alec asking Magnus what his biggest fear was. Maybe then, he couldn’t really realize what Magnus meant with his words. But he did now. 

“Ho do I stop it? How do I make it go away?” 

“You don’t, Alexander.” It was hard for Magnus to say it out loud, to watch Alec’s eyes lose the last remains of their light. “You just try to live with it. Make sure the ones you care about know that you love them and then you let go. There’s not a way to stop it.” 

Magnus knew his words were harsh, but he couldn’t bring himself to lie. There was no point in it. Alec was raised to understand that in their world people die. People that are close to you, people so young there’s not much to bury in a grave. But it was today, when the weight of it came crushing down on his shoulders for the first time. 

There was nothing more to be said after that. All Magnus could do was to pull Alec closer and let the silent tears fall. He would hold him until they stop and long after that. He’d hold him until the pain let him breathe again and until there would be no one to hold anymore. Afterall, life has always been about losing the ones we love.

I’m sorry, guys! I just had soo many feels after the last episode and I had to let them out. Though, I have to admit it turned out way darker that I thought it would. 

It always bothered me a bit how little Malec talk about Alec’s Parabatai bond. It’s a very big part of him and as undeniably important as Magnus is in his life, Jace is, too. That’s why I like to imagine that Magnus actually understands that and would never ask Alec to choose between the two of them or make him feel bad for it. Jace belongs to Alec the way magic belongs to Magnus and the way Magnus and Alec belong to each other. 

It’s one of those things I would love to see in the next season.

A Broken Bond

Malec Drabble #9

Magnus was still trying to find a reason for the strange demonic behavior when he heard Alec scream. Or, perhaps, it wasn’t really a scream. It was a struggling release of breath, as if a large hand squeezed Alec’s lungs and knocked all the air out of him. A painful exhale that made shivers crawl all over Magnus’ skin.

“Alexander,” Magnus turned around, watching Alec bent over the table, supporting himself with one hand while the other pressed against the Parabatai rune under his shirt. “are you okay?” 

Alec didn’t answer right away. He was breathing heavily and it seemed there wasn’t enough oxygen in the room, his knees buckling under the weight of pain coursing through his body. He looked up, but his eyes were blank, hollow, gone to a place no one could ever follow. 

“His Parabatai rune.” Izzy spoke up as Alec lifted his t-shirt, soft strokes of black ink slowly catching on fire and tormenting his soul. 

“It’s..” Alec tried to say, but failed as another wave of suffering cut through him, realization making his features turn desperate and dejected. “..Jace.”  

And he screamed, his legs finally giving up under him, falling to the ground. Magnus was next to him in an instant, steady hands on his shoulders, as he writhed and squirmed in pain. 

It was the first time Magnus has ever felt this hopeless. Watching people you care about gradually disappear was one thing, but seeing Alec getting lost in the tormentous despair as the rune on his hip washed away and faded every second was far worse.

“Alexander..” he called, reaching for Alec more firmly.

“I.. I can’t feel him.” It was a voice of a broken man, a helpless whisper sounding in between hurtful intakes of air. “He’s dead.” 

The hand keeping Alec up couldn’t hold him anymore, but Magnus was there, bringing his arms around him. He could see Alec’s emotionless expression, not because he didn’t suffer anymore, but because it was a kind of sorrow which leaves you without a single tear, an empty shell broken into millions of shards, spilled and never to be brought together again.  

Even Izzy came closer, weakly reaching for Alec’s hand, unable to tear her gaze away from the silvery scar on Alec’s hip. Magnus pulled them both closer, feeling the muffled screams and sobs as Izzy pressed herself on his shoulder and the gentle trembling of Alec’s breaking heart against his chest.  

He didn’t know what to do. There was nothing that could be done. Not a spell to repair a soul, not a word to mend what’s been shattered. 

“Alexander?” he tried again, seeing Alec’s expression change, morph into a stiff, numb mask of a soldier. 

“We need to go.” He said without a trace of anything but cold calmness. “If-if Jace is.. Clary might be in danger, too. We have to find her. I.. I can’t lose anyone else.” 

They stood up, Alec immediately pulling out a map of Idris, trying to find the most probable place, where Valentine would complete his plan. Izzy’s hand were still shaking as she and her brother worked in a sync Magnus has never seen before. Both of their faces were stern and rigid, only Alec’s eyes gave away his true emotions. 

Stepping forward, Magnus created a portal as close to the Lake Lynn as he could. Just before they walked through, he reached out and held onto Alec’s hand, their eyes finally locking at last. Maybe, if he squeezed hard enough, a part of his strength would pass onto Alec, help him and let him know Magnus was there. Maybe, if he tried long enough, he wouldn’t have to lose him to the unbearable grief of a broken bond.  

Here it is! Though, maybe it didn’t turn out as comforting as I intended? Oops. It just seems I’m a type of a person, who can write about heartbreak way more easily than about happy moments. Is that even healthy, hh? 

Hope you enjoy it! ;)
