Alec hadn't realized what telling his parents would mean. He hadn't expected to be sleeping in his car just for being gay. If not for his best friend, he might not have been able to finish college, and started working as a paramedic. Alec also might not have been at the bar that night, might never have met the man of his dreams. Beta'd by Writesalott AU/AH/OOC Malec fic.

Magnus has a mystery job and Alec's finishing high school with lots of books quotes mixed in! In character AU about the Mortal Instruments. Mostly Malec at the beginning but also Sizzy and Maia/Simon in later chapters with Clace in the background. Told in Alec, Magnus, Izzy, and Simon's POV mostly but also a few others!

Alec, a wounded soldier, moves back to New York to heal and get over his love for his squad mate, Jace. While there, he meets Magnus Bane, the promiscuous and seemingly callous eyes and ears of the city. Will the two be able to heal each other?

Alec and Magnus' first date/kiss/everything else. M for lemony goodness. SLASH MALEC obviously . If you don't like slash don't read. It's that simple. R&R.
