What if Magnus played a more intrinsic role in Clary's life after taking her memories and Clary went with him instead of Jace? Clary's mundane life ends & now she must hide, save her mother, find a Cup, and deal with her new Shadowhunter status. Thankfully, Uncle Magnus is there to help. Now if only Jace, Alec, and Izzy could find the new Shadowhunter who ruined their mission.

Alexander Lightwood is the son of wealthy aristocratic family, part of a social circle of high nobility and religion. But he is gay. And he hates his life of aristocracy. And throw in the fact that everyone age 18 gets a Soulmate mark of their perfect match; his life is all very dramatic. He wants to escape. And is Magnus Bane his only chance at doing just that?

Magnus is attractively arrogant. Alec is horrendously sick for two days, but he gets to be right for once, so it's worth it. "We should call it a holiday. 'The Day Alec Was Right and Magnus Was Wrong'."
