When Magnus moves to a new school he isn't expecting to fall hard into the mysterious world of Alec Lightwood, a boy with a secret hidden from everyone. As he finds himself tangled in a web of wonder and worry, he begins to realize that there's a lot more to Alec than anyone could ever imagine. And not just Alec either, but his desperate and broken sister and brother as well.

When Alec is nine, he is grey. He is blurred and uncertain, teetering on the edge of two stark contrasts he can't fall into no matter how hard he wishes he could. He is grey, with nothing set in stone or made clear by the beautiful starkness of his colour.

Isabelle Lightwood sees everything yet can not fix everything. She watches her family fall apart, and always tries to be there for her brother, Alec. This is her letter to him. This is her story. Brief Malec. M/M. Don't like, don't read. Also, rated T for trigger warnings mentions of self harm.

It's not one big thing that makes Alec's relationship with Magnus so hard. It's a million little paper cuts every day. Paper cuts like his father disowning him, like the betrayal of a friend, like being beaten by something wearing Jace's face. A two-shot collection of some of these cuts.

Alec's smile changes through out his life. When he was five, it was innocent and sweet. When he was fifteen, it was shy and awkward. But no doubt, they were the widest and the happiest when he's with Magnus, who's prettier than any princess Alec's ever seen. Fluff. Snapshots of Alec's life through the smiles he wears.

"Well, I guess at least no one can call your fear of spiders unfounded now." - Little things can have astounding effects: They can draw people to each other, and they can also cause a lot of trouble. This is the story of how Alec Lightwood encounters a tiny problem that will grow a lot bigger than he'd ever anticipated, but also serve to solve an even bigger one (post CoLS)

"Alec sighed. Sometimes, his boyfriend truly confused him. Some nights he would be partying until he saw the next day through, and others he would pass out before nine. It amazed him, but mostly because this particular sleep schedule was totally random. Once, Magnus had forced him to stay up with him for forty-eight hours just to prove he could." This is those 48 hours.

"Magnus had said warlocks were avaricious, possessive beings. Well, Alec wasn't a warlock, but he'd be damned if he let anyone touch the best thing that had ever happened to him." The one where warlocks are being murdered, Magnus is a target, and Alec really isn't supposed to be getting involved (but does anyway).

One hundred and fifty one-sentence Magnus/Alec fics - everything from angst to crack to pure fluff. "I don't think writing 'Property of Magnus Bane' on the back of my jeans is the 'subtle sign of possession' you were looking for."

Post-City of Lost Souls, Alec finally cracks and takes out his frustrations on an innocent bystander. To be fair, though, his father kind of deserves it.

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'."

Congratulations! You are now the proud new owner of our new MAGNUS unit!

A fault is when something is flawed. A fault is when you've disappointed the people you love most. A fault is what Alec thinks he is. Magnus speaks to Robert Lightwood when he's sure that Alec is wrong. His father ought to agree.

Magnus doesn't like Alec's sweaters. Alec likes Alec's sweaters. Magnus is taking Alec to go get new clothes or else he's snapping Alec out of his old ones. T for light suggestive tones.

You hadn't seemed quite out of the closet yet, you know?" Magnus said. Alec choked on a laugh. "I'm not, really. Literally and figuratively." Malec Threeshot

Oneshot; Alec is mad at Jace, and when dinner at the Institute rolls around, rage shows its face in the form of a battle with eating utensils. Preseries. Rated for swearing and a little violence.
