Freeform removed Shadowhunters from their demand listings. Do you know what that means? Means they lost the rights. To someone else. We might not have lost yet. Continue to #SaveShadowhunters.


Alec used his unlock rune to open the door to Magnus' loft. Alec didn't have a key to the loft yet, no matter how much he wanted one to check in on his boyfriend on some days after work at the Institute. The door opened and the mess from his kidnapping was still there. The rose petals still spelled Johnathan on the ground and Magnus' couch was still broken on the ground. Alec sighed and he set down his bow and arrows by the coat rack. "Clary... do you know anything that can help Magnus?" Alec asked. "I... I know what he needs but, but maybe you can see something. Something that I don't know about."

Clary smiled and she nodded. She looked around the loft, hoping that a rune or something would lead her to something that could help Magnus. Clary shook her head. "No." she said. "Sorry Alec."

"It's fine Fray." Alec said with a smile, patting her shoulder. "Stay here. I'm going to Magnus some potions and a cast. I know he keeps some in here."

"For you?"

Alec bit his lip and he nodded. Magnus would always have some kind of brace or sedative for him in case he ever came home with a dislocated arm, shoulder or even leg. Magnus cared so much for him. Magnus was in love with Alec. He cared for the young shadowhunter because he was everything to the High Warlock. Alec smiled at Clary. "He's just... overprotective of me." he said to Clary, walking off towards Magnus' office.

Clary followed him, shoving her hands in her pocket. "Well, being overprotective is better than not being protective at all."

Alec opened on of Magnus' cupboards and he pulled out a small vial. "I hate that I wasn't there." Alec said, handing the vial to Clary who put it inside a bag that she had brought along. "I hate that I couldn't have been here with him. If I had just taken the day off like I promised him... stayed here with him..."

"Alec, you couldn't have known."

"But even if I didn't, I could have kept him safe. I could have protected him. I just wish... I just wish that I was here."

Alec sighed and he pulled out a few more vials and bottles. He handed them to Clary and helped her place them inside her bag so it wouldn't spill. "Does um..." Clary started, licking her lips. "Does Magnus have a sedative for warlocks here?"

Alec nodded. "Sometimes I-" Alec chuckled a bit, walking to his boyfriend's desk and opening one of the small drawers. "Sometimes I put some in his tea when he's overworking or he's tired and refuses to go to bed."

Clary chuckled along with him as Alec pulled out a pink dropper bottle. "Alec, that's so kind of you."

"I have to take care of him. If he won't do it, he'll overwork himself."

"But... isn't that kind of hypocritical?" Clary asked, taking the dropper bottle from him. "You overwork yourself sometimes. I know you do, hence the day that I passed out on Magnus' couch. If you care so much about Magnus to give him a... sedative in his tea, maybe you should think about doing the same."

Alec raised his eyebrows, looking at the Fairchild as he stopped looking for syringes that he knew that Magnus had. "What do you mean? You think that I should sedate myself?"

"No. I think that you should take breaks. Relax. And... spend some time with Magnus."

Alec nodded, agreeing with her. He was kind of hypocrite for working so hard and then caring so Magnus like he was dying when he overworked just once. Alec went back into Magnus' drawers and he pulled out two syringes that the couple had on hand for sedating any intruders or evil clients that would try to attack. He handed the syringes to Clary and he smiled at her. "I'm going to go get Magnus a brace from the bathroom."

Alec walked outside the office and towards their shared bedroom. Alec went straight to the bedroom and he opened the cabinet just below the sink. He grabbed a sling, knowing that Magnus's arm would be sore from the broken collarbone and a collarbone brace. He knew that it would be a bitch to Magnus in the neck, but at least he would heal. Alec grabbed them and he exited their room, meeting Clary again. "I got everything." he said. "Come on. Let's go."

Clary nodded and she followed Alec as he started to walk out of the apartment.


Jace sat with Magnus, watching him and trying his best to comfort him as he groaned in pain from his broken collarbone. Jace saw how Magnus moved his hand to his left arm, clutching it in absolute pain. Jace knew that Magnus' arm was broken as well. He could tell from his pained screams and his sweat. "Magnus..." Jace said to him, twirling his hand into a fist because he couldn't do anything to help him. "Alec will be here soon. I promise. He'll be here with something to calm you down. Something to help the pain."

Magnus didn't even bother to nod. He just dug his nails into his free right hand from the unbearable pain. The creams that had been slathered around his burns had stopped working and his pain was know back and stinging his skin. Jace was praying hard to the angel that Alec and Clary would be back soon with something to calm down the distressed warlock. "Magnus um..."

"Jace Herondale... if you dare apologize to me about getting hurt, I will punch you." Magnus said, still in an obvious amount of pain.

Just then, Alec and Clary ran inside the room. Alec's eyes immediately went down to Magnus, who was pale and biting his lip hard from the pain. "Mags." Alec gasped, kneeling down beside the man that claimed his heart. Alec took Magnus' free hand and freed his nails from digging inside the skin. "Magnus. Magnus, it's me."

"Alec...Alec...Alexander." Magnus said, turning his head to look at his shadowhunter boyfriend.

Alec looked up at Jace. "His arm looks like it might be broken." Jace said to his parbatai. "Please tell me that you brought a brace for him."

"We did." Clary said, pulling out the dropper of warlock sedative that Alec had brought. She took a few drops of the light pink fluid and she walked over to Magnus. She pinched the bottom of his chin so that his tongue was visible and she put a few drops inside of his mouth and then she closed his lips. Magnus' eyes changed from one of pain to one of comfort. Then he closed his eyes. Magnus was now unconscious. He couldn't feel pain anymore, much to Alec's joy. Alec nodded and pulled out another vial. He poured the liquid into one of the syringes that he had brought and he put it inside Magnus' arm. Once the liquid went inside, he waited a moment.

"The painkillers should be inside him now." Alec said. "Come on. We need to start healing him."

"What about Raphael?" Clary asked.

"We can't worry about him now." Jace said, watching as Magnus' thick drips of sweat stopped spilling from his head. "He need to heal him now."

Alec pulled out some of the vials that he had brought and he handed one to Jace. "Here." he said. "Put these on his burns. They'll numb them before he could heal them."

Jace nodded and rubbed the light green liquid onto the burns on his chest and stomach while Alec took care of his back. Magnus jolted a bit here and there, but Alec knew that it was just because he accidently touched a burn or something. Alec laid Magnus back down and he hand Jace and Clary another vial. "Here." he said. "These will heal the burns. But be careful, don't hurt him."

"I would never parabatai." Jace said, starting to rub the liquid into the burns. Alec took Magnus' face in his and he kissed his nose and his cheeks lightly. Jace saw his love for the warlock and he couldn't help but smile. He might be feeling anger from Alec through his bond, but he also felt relief and love.

"There." Clary said, setting down the vial. "Hand me the brace Alec. I know how to put it on."

Alec couldn't find himself to leave Magnus' side. Especially not now. He held Magnus' precious, beautiful and make-up free face in his hands and he just shook his head. "Jace... can you... can you-"

"You don't have to ask." Jace said, walking over to the bag that Clary had brought and set down. He picked it up and pulled out the brace and the sling. He handed them to Clary and silently watched as Clary wrapped the black cast over Magnus' chest. She then put his broken arm in the sling.

"How long will he have to wear the bandages?" Alec asked, checking Magnus' pulse every few seconds out of his growing anxiety for his life.

"Raphael said that his magic being suppressed for so long along with his torture will take a few days." Jace said. "But he thinks that he should keep the braces on until his entire bones heal, just in case."

Alec nodded in agreement. He moved over to the chair that Jace was sitting it and he took Magnus' hand in his. Jace wanted to say something to Alec, anything to Alec. He felt Clary's hand go inside his and his confidence grew. "Alec... I am so sorry." he said, pulling Clary into a one armed hug.

"You saved him from drowning Jace." Alec said, not looking up at his parabatai as he pulled the blanket over Magnus' sedated and cold body. "Thank you Jace. Now just please... please leave me with him. I'll be out in a moment."

Jace nodded and cupped Clary's cheeks. "Come on." he said. "Let's give them some time."

Clary nodded and started to walk out of the room with him. "Jace." Alec's voice called.

Jace turned around and Alec stood up. He pulled his brother and parabatai intoa close hug. "I'm so glad that you're alright." he whispered.

"Me too Alec." Jace responded, hugging him back. "Me too."

The two let go and Alec looked down at Clary. "Take care of him." he said with a smile. Clary nodded and she blew Alec a kiss. She took Jace's arm in his and lead him out of the room. Alec smiled at the two and he turned back to Magnus. He walked back to his seat and sat down, looking down at the too pale Magnus and sighed. "If we weren't already parabatai, I would thank Jace with my life." Alec whispered. "I'm so glad that you both are okay. I really am."

Alec raised the hand free from the sling and he kissed Magnus' knuckles. It only took a few moments before the sedative wore off and Magnus awoke. Since Clary only gave Magnus drops of the sedative, it only lasted a short perious of time. Magnus woke up and he looked around. "Alec... Alexander."

"Ssshh..." Alec said, moving to cup his cheek. "Rest Magnus. Don't get so worked up over me."

"How could I not?" Magnus asked, holding his free hand up for a cuddle. Alec obliged and he hugged Magnus so tightly, careful not to bother his wrapped collarbone or arm. Alec kissed his tangled and still damp hair as Magnus' hand traced Alec's deflect rune.

"What's the matter darling?" Magnus asked. "I can feel your heart beating fast."

"I could have lost you Magnus." Alec said, rubbing Magnus' cheek. "If it wasn't for Jace... you would have been tortured to death. Or you would have drowned. I don't know what I would have done if Valentine took you away from me. I love you so much Mags."

Magnus smiled and he moved up to the best of his ability with the wrapped arm and collarbone. He kissed Alec's lip, Alec kissing back automatically. Alec cupped his cheek as he kissed the man that was stripped from him for way too many hours. "I love you too Alexander." Magnus said, when he let go.

"Rest now Magnus. I'm here. I'll keep you safe." Alec said, letting Magnus rest on his shoulder with his eyes closed. "I won't let anyone harm you anymore. You're safe now."


Clary led Jace out of the room where Magnus was resting and she stood with him in the hall. "Jace." she called to him with her signature smile. "Jace, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing it's just..." Jace smiled and looked at Clary. "You and Alec seem... pretty close now. And I know that you both weren't on the best terms when you first came to us at the Institute. But know, you two are pretty... close."

"Well, we had to work together. We both really care about you." Clary said. "And Alec and I came to an understanding. He and I talked."

"Let me guess... about him probably hating you?" Jace asked with a smile. "I know that he doesn't hate you. It just takes a lot for him to open up to the people he cares about and the people he knows are friends. He never hated you. He just cares about you. Because I care about you. Because I... because I love you."

Clary smiled widely, perfectly straight white teeth showing from her blush colored lips. "I love you too." she said, moving forward to kiss his forward.

Jace blushed and he smiled. "The same goes for me and Magnus. I know that he cares about Magnus. That he loves him. And if it means that he's happy, I'd do anything to help him. To protect him."

Clary pulled in the blonde boy close to her and hugged him tightly. Thank the angel that everything was going to be okay.
