Years after the Dark War ended, the Shadowhunters are finally beginning to regain their footing more firmly. However, when a series of attacks from unknown assailants begin to occur, the New York Institute investigates. What they find is something they never dreamed of, and Magnus reunites with someone he never thought possible. This is my first published story, so...

Malec high school fic. Alec is a newly outed gay student. Magnus is the new literature teacher. A few conversations and some secret smiles spark a whole new world for the both of them. Its against the rules and their own dirty little secret but as time will tell, age and status doesn't matter when it comes to love. M rated for a reason. If you don't like boyXboy, don't read.

Alec pov :Ugh... High School... A place full of idiots who only care about sex, drinking, and trying to fit in... Thank the Angel this is my last year... ... ...Magnus' pov : First day of my last year and I'm running behind. Oh well... Its called fashionably late for a reason. Of course, I'm one of the few at this school full of idiots and drama queens who can actually pull it off.

So this is mainly Malec but with the others in it as well. Something is wrong. There is trouble in paradise. Plagued by terrible nightmares and with his emotions all over the place Alec is withdrawing further and further away from the people who care about him-for reasons unknown to the others. Will Magnus, with the help of Alec's friends and family, be able to help him?
