Alec has officially been evicted from the Institute and has been for months now. He is currently living with Magnus when Maryse calls saying that his assistance is needed. Little does he know that he will never come back the same. *Sequel in the works!* And yes, there will be some smut later on (hence M Rating for later chapters).

(Alec Lightwood/ Jalec/ Malec) Okay, so this is a story where Alec's dad actually hits him because of his relationship with Magnus, I hope you're going to like it and I'm not really sure why I like to write about such things but I do so - please tell me what you think so I can write more chapters! I don't own anything, you all have Cassandra Claire to thank!

AU story: Alec Lightwood is a freshman at college looking for a job. Magnus Bane is a single parent looking for a babysitter. Magnus thought it would be simple getting a babysitter, and it was. Though it's not so easy to keep his hands to himself from this sexy freshman... Age-gap, M-Rate later, kinks, smut and other sexiness.

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?

"Alec knew it wasn't real, none of it was, but somehow still he was running scared." Alec comes down with a mystery illness that is slowly making him go insane. He's hallucinating, feverish, and having nightmares. Will Clary, Jace, Isabelle, and Magnus be able to help him in time before he's slowly driven insane by his own mind? (Set sometime after COG, Implied Malec, Clace)
