Heeeey lookie me I updated something. *Savors moment* Alright. Fifteen more scraps, some of which I'm actually pretty proud of.
Notes: Color—I married them, LaFTA, since you so rudely interrupted their wedding.
Disclaimer: Same as last time, though I'm not sure who would think I owned the Mortal Instruments in the first place.
Warnings: Trigger warning for Train Tracks. Warnings of incredibly bad musical taste in Music and Sing. Punctuation and grammar abuse. I think that's it.
Linoleum
Alec tries the mutton and declares that it tastes like fried linoleum; Magnus asks him how he knows what fried linoleum tastes like and Alec just looks at him and says, "You don't want to know."
Train Tracks
One year after Alec's death, Magnus locks his door, walks to the railroad, puts in his headphones with the sound turned up, sits cross-legged in the center of the tracks and waits for a train.
Flip
After numerous attempts and a broken tailbone, both parties come to the conclusion that Magnus simply cannot do a backflip.
Phone Call
Magnus calls Alec a two a.m. one night; Alec answers with a sleepy "what" and Magnus tells him, "Please stop dying on me, love. That's the third or fourth time tonight and it's really fraying my nerves."
Black Eye
Alec comes to Magnus's a few days before they leave for Alicante, sporting a beautiful black eye; the only explanation that he offers to Magnus's quizzical look is, "Some kid made fun of Max."
Allergic
It's not until after Magnus spends a considerable amount of time creating a very decorative fruit salad one night that either of them find out that Alec is violently allergic to pineapple.
Voice
"Out of all the people I've been with, Alec, I love you the best," Magnus murmurs, and Alec appreciates the thought but he can't help the little voice in the back of his head that hisses, "He's said that to every single one of them."
Alice
There are many things that Magnus finds surprising about Alec Lightwood. For instance, that the cartoon version of Alice in Wonderland is his favorite movie of all time.
Gone
He presses his hands as hard as he can against the gash, willing the blood to slow—no, no, I won't let this happen, I can't, I'll save you, I will—but even as he tries to hold the wound closed he knows it's too late, his lover is gone.
Color
Magnus know he should be thinking of how beautiful his soon-to-be-husband is as Alec walks down the aisle towards him, but all that comes to mind is this is the first time I've ever seen him wear something that's not black.
Haters
It's rare that they can go for a walk in the park without someone telling them to go to hell. It bothers Alec—a lot—and Magnus, who came to terms with it years ago, knows he can't do anything about it but pull his boyfriend a little closer and whisper, "Don't listen to the haters, darling, they're just jealous."
Music
Alec finally gives up and hides in the bathroom while Magnus happily blasts his Taylor Swift.
Opposite
Jace comments that the relationship between the warlock and the Shadowhunter is a prime example of the saying, "opposites attract." Alec just grins because he doesn't care; he loves Magnus and nothing else matters.
Gamer
Magnus is somehow not at all surprised when Alec creams him unmercifully, despite the fact that it's Alec's first time ever playing Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Sing
"I swear by the Angel, Magnus, if I wake up one more time to you singing Lady Gaga in my ear for whatever reason, I am going to walk out that door and not come back."
