A/N: Magnus and Alec go to a bakery to by cookies, and they go to a community craft fair to buy gifts for Alec's family.

Sorry I'm posting this so late! I was spending the day at a family member's house.

I'll be home for Christmas, you can plan on me. Please have snow and mistletoe, and presents on the tree.

-I'll be Home for Christmas

Magnus's POV

"Okay, Magnus, this is this the list of things that I think they would want," Alec said, taking out a folded piece of paper from his back pocket.

Magnus and Alec were walking down the street, trying to figure out a place to go Christmas shopping for Alec's family. Magnus and his other Warlock friends were getting together after Christmas, so he would buy things for them at a later date.

"Here, let me see. Maybe I help find a place," he said, taking the list from Alec's outreached hand. He saw a few jotted down items for Isabelle, Max, Jace, and even his mother, Maryse. He wasn't surprised to not see Robert on the list. All that man has done is cause harm to his family. "Hmm, this list has quite an array of items. We might have to go to several stores to get what we need."

"Yeah, maybe, but we don't have to get exactly what is on there. These are just suggestions that they gave me when I asked them what they wanted," Alec said, his brow furrowing as he glanced at the list in Magnus's hand.

"Hey, why don't we stop by the bakery? Maybe we can find something in there as a little extra treat for your family?" Magnus suggested, gesturing towards the bakery that they often frequented.

"Sure! That's a good idea. You can never go wrong with desserts, right Magnus?"

Magnus chuckled. "That's right, Alexander. That's exactly how you won me over, isn't it," he said jokingly.

"Yep. That's exactly how," Alec said, trying, but failing, at holding back his laughter.

One step into the bakery, and Magnus was hit with the delicious aroma of baking cookies, donuts, and cakes. He had been going to this bakery since it opened about five years ago, and it hasn't failed him yet. It was run by a well-to-do Werewolf family, and one of his good friends, Michael, often worked the counter.

"Hey there, Mike. How are you this fine afternoon?" Magnus asked him, walking towards the counter.

"Hello, Magnus! I'm doing well. What can I do for you?"

"Um, hold on just a second. Alexander, come here for a second," Magnus said, pulling Alec away from the cake display he was admiring.

"Yeah?" Alec asked, a questioning look on his face.

"Help me pick out some cookies. They're for your family, so you should pick them out."

"Okay. Hi there, Mike, how are you?" Alec asked, giving him a friendly smile.

Mike smiled back. "I doing well, Alec, thank you." Alec had been befriending several Downworlders ever since the defeat of Valentine in order to regain friendly relations between Shadowhunters and Downworlders. It had been going pretty well, Magnus had to say.

"Hmm, how about we get three chocolate chip, sugar, snickerdoodles, and gingerbread. Those are their favorites," Alec said.

As Alec listed them off, Mike put the cookies neatly in the cardboard box, each cookie covered in a sheet of tissue paper.

Both him and Alec chipped in to pay for the cookies, and then they were on their way.

Next, Magnus and Alec passed by the community center where they saw a sign for their annual craft fair.

"Oh, Alexander, we should go to the craft fair! They always have nice little things there that you can get as presents for people. Things like baked goods, jewelry, and homemade trinkets," Magnus said

Alec seemed to think about this for a moment. "That sounds like a good idea. They'd probably appreciate something simple, don't you think?"

"Oh, absolutely. They're your family; they'll love anything you give them, I'm sure of it."

Alec smiled at him lovingly, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "Let's go in."

Magnus opened the doors, and they walked into a crowd of mundanes visiting different tables, testing out different lotions and treats.

Magnus saw Alec look around with a shocked expression on his face. He clearly didn't expect to see this many people in one place. "Okay, Alexander. Let's go pick out some tables that we can check out."

"Hmm," Alec said thoughtfully. He walked towards a table that sold candles made from soy. "Izzy said that she's been wanting a candle that she can light in her room for when she's off duty," he said. He picked out a candle that was vanilla scented, which was one of Izzy's favorite scents.

Next they went to a table that sold crocheted scarves. Alec picked out a scarf that was the color of lavender. His mother's favorite color, he said. Apparently his mother was in dire need of a scarf, so he got the softest and longest one they had. He was on better terms with his mother after everything that's happened, and he was striving to have a better relationship with her.

The last table they visited sold organic perfumes and colognes. Alec wanted to get Jace a cologne so that he won't reek of demon ichor even after he showers.

"Why don't you get him the lemongrass scent, Alexander? God only knows that your dear Parabatai needs a decent scent for after his demon hunts," Magnus said, scrunching up his nose in disgust.

Alec paid for all the items that he picked out, and then they went out of the doors of the community center.

"Thanks for helping me pick out these presents, Magnus. I just know my family is going to love these gifts," Alec said.

"I know they will," Magnus said, holding on to Alec's hand in a comforting grip. "They'll love them because it came from you."
