Okay guys new old story. By the Angel you can seriously tell that this was my first fanfiction. I wrote it May of 2013 and at the time I thought it was pretty amazing. I still think that but I feel like the sqeual is better.

This may be called 'Alec in Normal Land' but it is not an Alice in Wonderland type story. The only thing the same is that Alec ends up in another world. I just couldn't come up with clever titles at the time.

This was written right after the Malec break up (what break up? There was no break up. I deny any break up) So it was made before city of Heavenly fire.

Hope you all enjoy and I look forward to hearing what you have to say.


Alec Pov- I am Alexander Lightwood; I'm eighteen years old and I am a shadow hunter. It has been two months since Valentine was defeated and Jonathan took control over Jace. There seems to be a war coming between Shadow Hunters and demons and it's up to us to stop it. To make things worse I can't take my mind off my boyfriend… I mean ex Magnus Bane.

Going behind his back and talking to Camille about turning him mortal hurt him a lot and he dumped me. I wish I could just get away and go to a completely different world then this one.
"Alec stop zoning out and come on" Jace yelled from the institute elevator. I nodded and ran after him getting on the elevator before it closed.

Jace pushed the button to go down and he looked at me "what's your problem Alec you have been spacing out a lot… is it Magnus again?" I frowned and nodded leaning on the cold stone elevator wall "It's not just him. It's everything that happened with Jonathan and you, the new army of demon Shadowhunters we now haft to face." Jace frowned and nodded thinking.

"It's not going to be easy but we will all get through it as long as everyone helps out." I looked at him "We got through most of this because Magnus helped us but he told me never talk to him again." I looked down clenching my fists "He won't help us." Jace nodded and stepped out of the elevator when it opened forcing me to follow him.

"You know Alec Magnus won't be mad at you forever. He loves you, he even said so, so don't worry about it too much." I glanced at him thinking before nodding "your right." He smirked "Aren't I always?" "No" I said simply, walking passed him.

He followed me and we left the institute going on our nightly demon hunt. We got to the subway station and I looked around seeing a trail of blood leading to the inside of the tunnel. "Let's follow it" Jace said jumping off the stone waiting area and onto the tracks. I frowned looking at the tunnel.

This was the very tunnel where I would go down to visit Camille, it was the tunnel where Magnus caught me and told me he loved me before saying goodbye and leaving me on the cold ground to cry. "Alec you're doing it again" Jace said watching me. I blinked and looked around before jumping off the waiting station and walking with him into the tunnel. It was a lot darker and wetter then I remembered, it's not like it's been that long so why does it seem so different?

"Looks like the demons deep in the tunnel we're going to need our witchlights if we don't want to get attacked." I nodded and pulled mine out making it blaze brightly. Frowning; I looked around slightly all the memories coming back. "You okay" Jace asked looking back at me.

I nodded slightly before walking ahead knowing which way to go. "Stupid demons, making me walk into a subway. Homeless people live down here!" I sighed and shook my head "No they don't they would get hit by a train if they did."

I blinked before looking around. "Now that I think of it I'm surprised I have never been hit all the times I've come here." Jace looked at me confused "You came here before?" I bit my lip; I forgot my siblings didn't know about my meetings with Camille or that Magnus dumped me for that reason.

"I chase demons down here a lot." He nodded and we stopped walking hearing the sound of the demon whaling. "Looks like we found our demon" Jace said before running to the sound. I sighed running after him "Don't rush like that Jace!"

My voice didn't even reach him cause the moment he seen the demon he jumped on its back pulling out his dagger. I stopped running and observed the demons features. It was pretty big with big muscles, horns on its arms and back, and it had red eyes. Despite its size it was still a low class demon so that meant Jace wanted to handle it on his own so I leaned on the tunnel wall getting lost in thought again.

This was the spot… the very spot where Magnus dumped me. That day never leaves my mind… neither does the goodbye kiss. It was filled with so much passion and so much sadness. The kiss said I love you but at the same time it was saying that this is the end… we were done.

"Alec! Look out!" Jace yelled snapping me back to reality. The demon flew at me from the impact of Jaces beating. I was trying to run but it was too late; the demons crashed to the ground making it start to crack and crumble. "Alec move!" Jace yelled trying to get to me. The ground started to crack under my feet before crumbling sending me falling with the demon into an abyss of darkness.


Alec… Alec" I heard my sister Isabelle say softly. I painfully opened my eyes and looked at her. I was surprised at what she was wearing; a purple tang top and black skinny jeans. It's like the most normal thing I have ever seen her wear.

"Why are you wearing that Izzy" I asked sitting up. She blinked confused "What do you mean? I always wear things like this" she said looking herself over. She got up walking to the door "Hurry and get dressed we're going to be late for school."

Now I was really confused. "School?" She nodded "Yeah school; you know that place you, Jace and I go and waist seven hours of our life every day." As a shadow hunter we have never gone to mundane school so why was she saying these things?

"Come on Alec you don't want to keep Magnus waiting." I froze feeling my face get hot "Did you say Magnus?" She nodded "Yeah your boyfriend; now come on." She walked out and I realized that this wasn't my room from the institute… it wasn't even in a church. It was small and pretty plane.

Everything was clean unlike my old room; it was a lot more colorful too. There were paintings on the walls that had my signature by them proving that I was the one that painted them even though I can't paint anything to save my life. There was also a collage of pictures I don't remember taking. I got up and dressed before going to the picture wall taking in all these memories that were lost to me.

So many pictures of things that has never happened. Clary and Jace at the beach kissing by the water, there was a picture of Simon and Isabelle; it looked like he dragged her to a comic convention, and there were also a lot of Magnus and I. Kissing on the beach, together at what looked like a homecoming dance, and a picture of us kissing at a café. Gasping I grabbed the one from the café looking at the numbers printed at the bottom. 5-13-13; that was yesterday's date… that means… Magnus and I are still together.

"Alec; come on" Jace said leaning on my door. I turned to look at him and I ran over to him grabbing him by the shoulders. "Do you remember fighting a demon in the subway last night?" He looked at me like I just told him I'm gay because a unicorn came in my room and threw up rainbows on me.

"Man are you high or something? Do you have a fever?" he asked touching my forehead. About a six months ago this would make my face get so red that I would die but now that I loved Magnus it had no effect.

Moving my face away from his hand I sighed "No I am not high I am serious." He shook his head "Man that's some messed up dream you had; there are no such things as demons." That made me freeze "No demons? What about shadow hunters, Vampires, warlocks?"

He busted out laughing before leaving the room his laughter not fading till he was downstairs. Sighing I grabbed my favorite black sweater, which was the only thing that was the same from my old life, and I went downstairs. I could hear Jace telling Isabelle about everything I said and she was laughing too. How can they laugh when they're the ones who are strange? Why don't shadow hunters and the super natural exist? And how the hell did I get to this world?

"Come on we still need to pick up Simon and Clary" Jace said walking outside to his car. I followed him and Izzy. "Why are you getting Simon? You hate him."

Jace stopped and looked at me. "What are you talking about? Simon, you and I have been best friends since kindergarten." Now this was something I didn't believe; Jace and Simon being friends is never going to happen in the world I come from; but Simon and I being friends is never going to happen in either world.

"Have you and Clary been friends since kindergarten too?" He shook his head no "only since middle school… wait; why am I telling you this? You were there." I got in the car laying my head on the window "right". The other two looked at each other before shrugging and getting in the car.

After picking up Simon and Clary we made our way to school. Once we found a parking place I got out of the car; looking around now nervous. I don't know what classes I have or where to go. This is going to suck.

My pocket vibrated making my mind stop itself from getting lost in thought again. Quickly I reached into my pocket and took out my cell phone looking at the screen. At first I was amazed at the kind of phone I had. It was a Iphone 5; to high tech and modern for me to be having it. It vibrated in my hand again making me look at the screen now seeing it was a text from… from Magnus Bane.

I opened it fast needing to see if the huge screen was just playing a sick joke on me but there it was in black and white. A text from Magnus that said 'Hey babe where are you? Have been waiting by your locker needing some Alec love 3'. I blushed rereading the text about five times.

He wanted to see me. He wanted to kiss me. Sighing with relief I texted him back saying I'll be there soon. My Magnus wanted to see me; he wanted to hold and kiss me again like before.

It's been two months and I haven't seen his face or heard his voice. Pulling my book bag off my back I searched through some papers hoping I would have my locker number and combo. When I found it I ran into the school not able to take it anymore. It was so hard being apart from him; I wanted to run to him crying telling him how sorry I was for what I did. But this was a different world where I didn't mess up, didn't make any mistakes, and didn't lose my beloved Magnus.

I searched the lockers number by number skimming them with my shadow hunter eyes; which surprisingly still worked, until my eye caught the site of black spiky hair, an Adventure Time shirt, and Pink skinny jeans. My face lit up at the site. It was my boyfriend standing there waiting for me. I ran to him not able to help myself.

"MAGNUS!" I yelled as he turned to look at me. I smiled and jumped into his arms wrapping my arms and legs around him holding him tightly. He blinked confused before smiling and hugging me back. "Alexander what has gotten into you? You never do this."

I just looked at him and cupped his face in my hands looking into his beautiful green non cat-like eyes. "I missed you so much" I said softly before kissing him deeply. Magnus was confused but he didn't object, he kissed me back with just as much passion and aggression as I. I could feel people's eyes on us but I didn't care; I went too long without him and now he is here… really here.

He broke the kiss softly and I pouted before hiding my face in the crook of his neck. Magnus was still holding me but I don't think he minded. "What's up with you today? Not that I don't like it but this is nothing like you."

I just held him tighter fighting tears but failed. I started crying hard into his neck making him frown "What's wrong Alexander?" he put me down and made me look at him. As he whiped my tears off my cheeks with his thumbs I tried to control myself.

"I… We… I had a dream that I hurt you and you broke up with me… it feels like it's been two months since I've seen you." Really it feels like it's been years since I've seen him. I love him so much that every moment we're apart it feels like years. Magnus frowned and hugged me tight "it's okay Alec I'm right here. I'll never ever leave you."

I closed my eyes tight crying quietly. If only he let me explain about Camille. "Hey Magi what's wrong with Al" A familiar voice said from behind me. The voice sent shivers down my spine; it was a voice from the past that should have been dead.

I slowly turned and standing there was a tall goddess with long blonde curls running down her back. Her eyes weren't like ice for once and she had some color in her cheeks. It was the one and only Camille Belcourt.

Magnus looked at her "Alexander is just a little stressed is all. He had a bad dream that we broke up." I expected her to laugh or say we should but instead she frowned and hugged me "oh Al don't be sad you and Magi will never break up. Go team malec!"

I didn't know what was more surprising the fact that Camille in this world was a nice, crazy, yaoi fan girl or the fact that she gave us a couple name. "Camille; don't squeeze him to hard" Magnus said smiling. I blinked and looked at him "are we friends with her?" He and Camille both looked at me confused and Camille let me go "Why would you ask such a question? We're all best friends"

I got wide eyed surprised. Camille opened her locker which was next to mine and there were pictures of me, her, and Magnus in one of those photo booths you find in a mall. So this was all true; this world was normal with no super natural beings. It's a world where I make art, have fun with my friends, and actually like going shopping with my boyfriend. Maybe I should stop worrying about everything and stay in this world. It seems so simple and care free here; so why would I want to leave when I have Magnus and everything I ever wanted?

"Come on love we need to go to class" Magnus said grabbing my hand. I nodded and went with him and Camille smiling. After school Magnus took me to his apartment, which for some reason I figured would be the same as the other, worlds but it was small and most likely only had one room. "Why do you look so surprised? You come here all the time" he said taking off his jacket.

I shrugged and took off my sweater laying it on the couch. "It's just smaller then I remember." He laughed lightly and sat next to me pulling my legs onto his lap. "You were here the day before yesterday silly."

I smiled and got fully on his lap wrapping my arms around his neck "What did we do that night?" He smiled "Well we had dinner, watched The Notebook then had 'desert'." He said putting air quotes on deserts. I didn't know what The Notebook was but I definitely knew the meaning of desert.

"I'm a little hungry now… can I have some desert?" The real me would never say this and from the look on Magnus's face the 'me' of this world wouldn't normally say that either. "Alexander, what has gotten into you today?" I shrugged and caressed his cheek gently "I just really love you."

He got wide eyed and tears formed in his eyes. Frowning I caught the tears before they could come down his face "What's wrong?" He shook his head "sorry it's just… you have never said that before… and I was starting to think you didn't feel that way." I leaned in and kissed his forehead gently "That will never happen. I love you so much and I never want to lose you."

He smiled and cupped my face in his hands kissing me softly. I kissed him back smiling happily. I wonder if my Magnus was like this deep down when I told him I loved him the first time. All that time I wasted crushing on Jace when I could have been with Magnus.

"Come on" He said picking me up bridal style and carried me to his room. I blushed but just hung on tighter around his neck. It's been two months since we last did this but it feels like forever. Magnus sat me down on the bed and stripped me of my shirt making me blush dark red. He smiled seeing my face and he made me lay down before he climbed on top of me.


Later that night I laid in his arms lost in thought again while he slept. This world had everything I ever wanted so why did I have this sickening feeling in my gut? I had Magnus; He was mine again…. But that's when I figured it out. This isn't my world and he wasn't my Magnus; this was 'his' world, this was 'his' Magnus.

There was a whole other me that belonged to this world and Magnus and it wasn't me. Where did that Alec go when I got here? Why wasn't he here now? He had a life; he had family and friends in this world who loved him.

I lost that all. I sacrificed my relationship because of selfish reasons. My brother and sister were being hurt by demons and shadow hunters every night while these siblings only had to worry about dating and school. My real parents pretend to like my relationship while in this world… well I haven't seen my parents yet.

Magnus opened his eyes and rubbed my head "Are you lost in thought again darling?" I closed my eyes loving the feeling of him touching my head. "What do my parents think about us?" He stopped and frowned "Alec your parents disowned you for being gay; why are you asking me that?"

I lost my smile frozen. My parents disowned me? They left me because I loved Magnus? At least my real parents pretended to like it but this…. It's too much.

I curled up into a ball and put my face in my hands crying quietly making Magnus sit up fast and look at me. "Alexander? Alec what's wrong?" my silent cries soon turned into loud sobs.

My parents rejected me. There should never be a world where parents reject their children. In this world I sacrifice everything to be with Magnus but the real me can't even accept the fact that he will live forever. I'm so selfish; why do I have to be this way?

"Alexander talk to me" Magnus said frustration coming into his voice. I looked at him and cuddled close "I'm sorry… I just hate knowing my parents hate me… why can't they see how much I love you?" He frowned and rubbed my back "I don't know babe." I closed my eyes for a moment before looking at him "would you hate me if I tried to change you only so we could be together for life?"

He just looked at me confused "Why would you want to change me? If you love me, you will accept all my flaws and live with them." I frowned "your right I should have lived with it…" I was totally confusing him but it couldn't be helped. Living forever is a huge flaw but it is one I can live with just like I live with his flamboyant personality.

"Do you want me to change" Magnus asked that frustration turning into hurt. I frowned and caressed his face gently "No not at all; I love you the way you are and I will always love you. I was just thinking about my dream I told you about. In my dream you were a warlock and lived forever and I was a Shadowhunter who had a normal if not shorter life span… I used Camille, who was your ex and a vampire; to tell me how to turn you human."

Magnus frowned thinking "well that's some dream… I see why the dream 'me' was so mad. You made it look like you wanted me to change. Even if you only did it for we can be together you rejected a big part of me by doing that." I nodded "I wish it was a dream" I thought out loud.


I don't think I will be adding on sex scenes in this story like I did in my other already finished works. This was my first fanfiction back then and i wasn't comfortable yet writing that stuff. I feel like I would be taking something away from my old innocence if I added on to it.
