Bane Reunion
I am a new fanfic reader to the community. I have had this story in my head for a long time and it's time I shared it with those you who want to read what others imagine. I do not own any of Cassandra Clare's characters, but Moira is my own creation! I have read all of the Mortal Instruments books and I have read all the Infernal Devices books, unfortunately college is starting back and I have to save money for textbooks and can not afford the Magnus Bane series. So everything in this work is totally based off of my own imagination of what could possibly be.
Thanks!
Enjoy!
Chapter 1
Alec Lightwood was sound asleep on the purple sofa in his boyfriends apartment. Magnus Bane, the High Warlock of Brooklyn was out on a job and left before Alec returned from training at the Institute. Chairman Meow, Magnus' cat decided to paw open the door of the library and rearrange the items on the desk. A crash of a jar, pushed off the wooden surface by the feline startled the young Shadowhunter awake. Alec's first instinct was to find a weapon, but after a moments pause realized it was the mischievous cat and relaxed.
"Magnus says he'll turn to into a toad next time you cause trouble." Alec muttered as he dragged himself off the sofa
He padded into the drafty library, tall book shelves surrounded the room and held books in languages Alec has never heard of. There was a glass cabinet behind the desk with powders, herbs, liquids and plants that Magnus instructed Alec to never touch. Chairman was sitting on top of the desk looking very pleased with himself.
"Come on you." Alec said to the cat
He reached out to grab him, but before he could Chairman jumped off the desk, knocking all the papers to the ground and trotted out the door.
"By the Angel!"Alec cursed
He bent down and gathered the papers off the floor and replaced them in a stack on the desk. He took one more look for any loose papers when he noticed a small envelope trapped underneath the chair leg. Alec tilted the chair and released the paper. He noted that the front was addressed to Magnus. Curiosity got the better of the Shadowhunter and he opened the envelope. Inside was a very old letter written in wavy handwriting.
Dear Magnus,
I have followed the subject as you have requested. I have been to Wales, Scotland and Paris in pursuit. As you read this, She has rented an apartment in Paris, with the look of staying. I have enclosed a photograph for your pleasure.
Always yours,
G
Alec opened the envelope further and discovered the photograph enclosed. The photo was faded with age, the photo was of a young woman maybe in her twenties, she was turned toward the cameras direction. She had a tan skin that was sun kissed and long wavy brown hair that was nearly to her waist. Alec had to admit that she was stunningly beautiful, but the more Alec looked at the photo the more he felt a pang of jealousy run through his body. Was Magnus in love with this girl? The letter had stated that the photo was for his 'pleasure'. Alec glanced back at the contents of the letter before walking out of the library, closing the door tightly behind him.
Magnus Bane was exhausted. He did not intend on staying at his clients house for that long. He was hungry and in need of a cuddle from his boyfriend Alec. The taxi pulled up to his apartment and after stepping out and paying the fare, Magnus glanced up the building, and noted that his lights were on. Which meant that Alec was home. He took the stairs two at a time despite his raging headache. He slid the key into the door and pushed the it open silently. He was quickly greeted by his cat Chairman.
"Hello you." Magnus addressed to the cat before placing his bag on the floor and scooping his pet up.
Magnus walked further into the apartment and noted that Alec was not on the sofa, which was his usual spot to crash after a day of training. He walked into the kitchen to feed the fur ball in his arms. When he stepped into the small kitchen he saw that Alec was seated at the table.
"Hello love. Why didn't you say anything? I would've come and kept you company." Magnus placed the cat on the floor and went to kiss his boyfriends head when he saw what Alec was staring at.
Magnus stood up, "Where did you find that?" All playfulness dropped from his voice
"Chairman decided to rearrange your library. I found it on the floor while tidying up." Alec said without looking at Magnus
After a moment of awkwardness Magnus walked to the other side of the table and sat opposite Alec. He reached across the space between them and took the photograph between his long spider fingers.
"Who is she Magnus?" Alec whispered
Magnus sighed before speaking very carefully,"Her name is Moira and she once meant the world to me." Magnus whispered back
"Is that all?" Alec shot back looking at Magnus across the table
Magnus met Alex's glance with his cat eyes. Alec quickly regretted the comment when he saw sadness and fear in the Warlock's stare.
"Magnus?" Alec reached across the table and took Magus's other hand not holding the photo.
"I haven't seen her in a very long time. I lost her, Alec, I had friends and people all over the world looking for her. My good friend Grayson," He gestured to the letter on the table "finally spotted her in Paris where she seemed to be restarting her life. I had everyone stop their search. But a year later Grayson told me that Moira had suddenly left. I never found out what happened to her." Magnus looked away
"Is she a past love?" Alec asked quietly fearing the answer
Magnus rubbed his eyes and temples, then smiled up at Alec.
"Moira is my sister."
This was just chapter 1! I want to hear from the readers before adding any more of the story. Thank you for reading my story!
