Extended Summary: Magnus Bane, more known as The Magnificent Bane, is a youtuber. His job is to make videos to show to the world. But sometimes he makes them for the sake of making it, it's his way of venting things he can't tell people. But what happens when he ends up telling the tale to a complete stranger? What happens if that stranger's brother is Alec Lightwood? The new blue-eyed youtube sensation famous for making videos teaching self-defense. The ex-policeman who also happens to have a boyfriend.

Hi, this is my first time posting something on FF so I'm not all too sure how this works but I hope you like it and if you do please leave reviews, follow (this will be multi-chaptered), and favorite.

Magnus is a cheerful person. Normally. He tried to remain optimistic in situations. But today, today was different. Today was a little more personal and mopey. Today is what Magnus liked to call Mopey Monday. Though sometimes it wasn't a Monday. He'd thought the name would've offered some humour to an otherwise sad day. Except it didn't. He didn't like to think of it much.

But it couldn't helped, after all, it happened this very day. Thinking about it always put him in a bad mood. People often questioned his mood swings throughout the day but Magnus paid no mind. It was Mopey Day, he got to be mopey all the livelong day. He could never be optimistic today, he didn't want to see the good in things. Magnus didn't want to gain from it.

Magnus never seemed to run out of tears, it was as if an unending fountain exploded inside of him. Maybe 'exploding' isn't the right word. Because it wasn't as though he had done nothing to get rid of the pain throughout the years. On some years it was a few tears dripping down his face, and some other years it was full on sobbing, there wasn't much of pattern. It just mattered how much he thought of it. This year was 'a few tears' year. As the drops of water cascaded down his face, he noticed a boy had approached him. Magnus hurriedly wiped off the tears. Though he did promise himself several years ago that he wouldn't hold himself back at least today, he didn't like to have company when he let out his feelings. The boy looked to be about 10. Or 13. Magnus wasn't the best at guessing ages. People looked too young these days.

Magnus looked down at the boy again. He was looking up at Magnus, with his wide grey eyes full of curiosity. He seemed to want to say something. When he finally decided how to phrase whatever he wanted to say he opened his mouth.

"Are you Magnificent Bane?"

Magnus was surprised. Despite his rather short rant of people looking too young in his mind, this boy couldn't have been older than 13. He never expected to attract such young viewers. Now he was worried, because he hadn't expected under-age viewers he never censored either his excessive swearing on his rants or his sometimes explicit content.

Well it was also partly because he was too lazy. Magnus was comfortable with his viewers, he didn't want to put any content that disturbed his level of comfort with them. He was himself around them, no masks, just him. That was why he was overly relived when the boy went on.

"My brother talks about you. When he starts you have to be prepared to stay. It's hard to stay focused when he's talking because it's so long. Even longer than how long my sister takes to get ready. And she takes really really really long. Jace once said that she could pass centuries with how much time she takes. Jace is my brother's best friend. My brother says it's weird how they're best friends because they're so different. I don't think it's weird, they get along really well.

I mean they're practically brothers at this point. So then I'll be Jace's brother too. I like Jace, he's cool. He buys me manga sometimes. Jace is the only person who isn't scared to tease my brother about his fear of spiders. He gets really mad when you tease him about it. You shouldn't tease him about it, Magnificent Bane."

Out of this boy's little ramble about his brother, one part stuck out to Magnus. More specifically, the very last part. This kid honestly believed his name was Magnificent! Well, Magnus wouldn't mind much if it were his actual name except it did sound a bit ridiculous. He liked his name, though Magnificent does sound well, magnificent. Magnus liked Magnus. He had gone through a court trial to obtain his name. Chuckling, he replied to the boy.

"Call me Magnus," he said.

"Okay. My name's Max."

He and Max got along surprisingly well. To someone passing the streets, the sight might've seemed a little weird. A grown man with makeup talking to a teenage boy. But since when did he care about other people's opinions? Unless he was suffering to some amnesia he wasn't aware of, the correct answer would be, never. He found himself telling Max things he wouldn't even tell Cat or Raphael. They talked for several hours, losing track of time. Magnus gave his autograph and writing a little note for Max's brother. He even asked Max if he could make a video about him. Max said yes and as soon as he got home he took out his camera and started filming.

"Hello darlings, my name is Magnus Bane also known as Magnificent Bane and today I'm here to talk to you about a boy I met in the park today. And before you say anything, he is 9. So I was just sitting on a bench thinking about life when he came up to me and asked if I'm Magnificent Bane and then I got all worried because-"

Halfway through recording the Chairman had started purring and curling around his right leg. His tail tickling Magnus. Soon enough, Magnus burst out laughing. Magnus was a lot of things but he was not one of those people invincible to tickling. Tickling is one of the most cruel things one can do to a person. It's just downright inhumane, it could kill. And now his own cat was doing to him! How awful. Chuckling slightly to himself, Magnus picked up the cat to show him to the camera.

"Sorry, this little trickster was tickling me with his tail because he wants all the attention. Don't you now?"

At this, Magnus proceeded to tickle the Chairman. He quickly and expertly dodged Magnus' fingers, hissed, and ran away. Magnus expressed his disappointment to the camera and carried on with his story. Though he left out some details, he told the camera almost everything. From how Max liked comics to Magnus' problem that Cat and Raphael keep teaming up against him. It took an unexpectedly long time to talk about but when he finally finished he felt the fatigue weighing on his shoulders like a boulder.

After finishing up with recording, he made a mental note to himself to save it on the file tomorrow. Then he made his way to the bed and plopped down. He was just on his way to fall into a wonderful thing called sleep when he heard a ringtone. Irritated, Magnus picked up his phone to check the caller. Cat. His mood instantly brightened up, Catarina was always busy saving lives at her hospital to take the time to call Magnus. It was always him calling her. He instantly pressed 'accept' and cheerfully greeted her. She didn't have very cheerful news to deliver, however. Her voice was cracking and he could hear her sorrow over the phone.

"Catarina, sweetheart, how long has it been since you've called me? I'm overjoyed, what is the occasion?"

"It's Raphael…He was brought in today. Oh Magnus, I don't want it to happen again, what do I do?"
