A/N: This was not updated sooner because I started a new Malec fic called Statues of Our Lives. I told myself not to forget about this one and guess what I did. Hooray.

Guest (there were two of you so I'm not sure which I'm responding to or if it's the same one) (You're not Sebastian/Jonathan are you? ;P) : Review for 10: Umm well it could hypothetically be Lorenzo, but that wasn't my first thought... I don't think he's actually going to be in this fic. And for review for 14: All will be revealed in the next few chapters! Hope everyone's enjoying this so far! :D!

I still own nothing (except Magnus' songs and Alec's book, lol).

Ragnor, Catarina, and Camille were sitting in Alicafé, chatting and sipping coffee. Ragnor was awfully tired and couldn't focus on the conversation very well, which led to him missing important chunks of interaction. Eventually the girls noticed, as he knew they inevitably would.

"Rags, what happened?" Cat wondered, putting her hand on his forearm.

"Nothin'," he grumbled. "Just tired. And a bit frustrated with life in general. I was reminded earlier this morning that our dear friend Magnus was banned from Peru, which ultimately ruined my plans for April Fools Day. And I saw Mags snuggling with his boy toy author this morning too, and he made me get him an orange."

"The struggle is real," Camille said sagely. "On another note, Izzy and I made plans to go to the mall and hang out with that hot nerd friend of hers, Sheldon." She giggled. "I'm fairly sure we can convince him to wear a leather jacket."

"Nerds don't wear leather," Ragnor sighed.

"Anyone can wear leather if I force them to," Camille beamed. "See you gorgeous people later!" She got up and began to walk off. "Love you!"

"Love you too, Cam!" Ragnor and Catarina called after her, and she gave them a peace sign above her head as she exited the shop. Then she stopped outside, holding her phone to her ear, and turned around in a panic and rushed back in.

"Never mind," she said breathlessly. "Samuel is not going to be able to meet us. He walked in on Jace and Jonathan fighting, and found out that Jonathan had been after Jace the whole time and that the thing with Alec's car was actually an accident. He's with Luke."

"It was Jonathan?" Ragnor raised his eyebrows. "Well, I mean, was he the person to blame for the fact that Alec hasn't gone home yet? He was still at Magnus' place earlier today when I walked in."

"You didn't walk in on anything, did you?" Camille asked with raised eyebrows.

"Alec asleep on Magnus' lap," Ragnor laughed.

"Malec will be the death of me," Camille giggled. Noticing Ragnor's expression, she continued, "I have names for all the relationships, Mister Fell. Malec, Clace, Sizzy, Santiafell… you name it."

"You have a name for me and Raph?" Ragnor crossed his arms.

"You bet your ass I do. Did you get any pictures of them?"

Ragnor grinned and showed her his phone, displaying the adorable picture of Alec curled up with Magnus on the couch.

"OMG!" Camille squealed. "Send those to me! Here, I have some too…" she pulled out her own phone and opened the images she had of Magnus and Alec snuggling in Magnus' bed. He took the phone and scrolled through, coming to some pictures of Alec sitting on the counter, his knees on either side of Magnus' hips, his hands on Magnus' waist. The two men were making out with enough fervor to put Twilight to shame. Ragnor enjoyed a laugh at their expense and handed the phone back to its owner.

"Can I design Magnus' wedding dress?" He snarked.

"Be my guest," Camille said. "I'm gonna go find Izzy and ask for more details on Seigfried. See y'all."

Ragnor and Cat sat in silence for a few moments.

"Isn't his name Simon?" Catarina eventually asked.

"Who?" Ragnor replied.

"So Izzy just called," Alec said, turning to Magnus. "Jonathan is responsible for my car, but apparently he was intending for it to be Jace that got hurt. At least that's what Simon overheard."

Magnus bit his glittery blue lip. "That would explain the I'm sorry letter—he was actually sorry for hurting you. Why was he trying to hurt Jace, though?"

"I don't know," Alec sighed. "At least that's one less thing keeping me out of my apartment. Based on what Simon said, Jace knows all of this, so he can avoid Jon."

"Do you suppose Clary knows about any of it?" Magnus came to sit across from Alec at the table. "It is her brother we're talking about."

"Why don't we ask Max," Alec suggested. "He was in the car when it happened. He's at Izzy's apartment now, I think."

"You're just dragging me all over the place, aren't you?" Magnus teased, smiling. Alec felt instantly guilty.

"I know, I'm—"

"Alexander, don't apologize," Magnus laughed. "I love spending time with you. Let's go visit your brother."

They laced hands and exited the apartment. Izzy lived not too far from Magnus, so they were able to make it after about ten minutes. Alec knew Izzy wouldn't be home, so he let himself in. Max was sitting on the couch with Julian Blackthorn, who was admiring his bandages carefully. Helen and Aline were sitting on the floor a few feet away, talking quietly.

"Max!" Alec called. Max looked up, grinned, and ran to hug his brother. Alec could hear Magnus chuckling from behind, and Max turned his gaze to the singer.

"You look like a manga character!" He exclaimed. "So cool!"

"Thanks," Magnus said confusedly.

"Are you Alec's boyfriend?" Max wondered innocently.

"Yep," Magnus smiled. "I hear you like to draw?"

"Yeah!" Max broke away from the hug and ran to fetch his sketchbook. "I made pictures for Alec's characters! You know he writes, right? But it's a secret, so you can't tell anybody."

Magnus made a big show of zipping his lips. "Promise. Can I see your drawings?"

While Max flipped to his art of Mala and Killian, and some of Elvira, Alec looked up to see Julian staring at Magnus.

"That's Magnus Bane," he stammered. "That is the Magnus Bane."

Magnus looked up. "And that's Helen Blackthorn," he said, pointing to Julian's older sister. Alec realized he'd forgotten that Helen was just as famous as Magnus.

"Yeah, but she's just my sister. You're, like, super-famous. And Max is right: you do look like a manga character. A very glittery one."

Alec laughed at his friend and brother's interaction with Magnus. "Max, I have to ask you some questions, if that's alright?"

"Sure!" Max popped up, almost hitting Magnus in the nose, and returned to sit next to Julian. "About what?"

"About the car crash," Alec began nervously. "I wasn't there when it first happened, so I don't know exactly what happened."

"Well, you went in to tell Jace we were there. I got out too, but waited for Sebastian to follow you inside. He said he was going to put the car away and started driving into the garage. He was taking a while and so I went in to see what was happening, I saw him and Jonathan talking and then Jonathan did something to the car—I couldn't see, and Sebastian dropped the bags he was holding and opened the door. The car started rolling backwards." He looked up yet again.

Alec didn't know what to say, and was saved by Magnus nodding encouragingly. Comforted, Max continued. "Sebastian tripped and fell but didn't let go. I think he was stuck or something. The car rolled past me and I ran after Sebastian, and I grabbed his foot, and he told me to try to get his sleeve out of the door or to get in and pull the emergency brake, but I didn't know where that is, so I climbed up onto the car and tried to get his sleeve out. Someone ran past us and I don't know what happened next but then we were falling, Sebastian's head went in a weird direction and there was a lot of blood and then I was stuck on a tree branch." He took a breath and Julian rubbed his back. "And then I woke up in the hospital."

Alec went and hugged his little brother. "Thank you, Max. Does Clary know any of this?"

"Clary? No, she was inside with you and Jace," Max said. "I only told the doctors and Luke and you."

"Alright," Alec said.

"Magnus, will you sing a song for us?" Julian blurted. Magnus chuckled.

"Sure, which one?"

"Open Door," Julian answered immediately. Magnus cleared his throat.

"Is there more, oh you ask me

Well the answer is yes

There is more, there is more

But don't stand there waiting

It just ran out the door

It's your choice to follow, I'll be right behind you

Our feet snapping twigs and our worries in two."

Alec smiled at Magnus' enthusiasm as he sang, making gestures with his arms and hands with the words.

"When the end finds you, don't let it catch you off-guard

Go after it with a sharp stick if you want to

This forest is yours

Don't choose to ignore

The trees that might stand in your way

And don't stop, for the wolves of the night might just find you

There's no telling whether they'll like what they see

Don't think about all of the monsters behind you

If you don't turn around, behind you they'll stay

I've been through that forest

Came out in several pieces

But the creatures of the night, they can't hurt me no more

If you want adventure,

Just open the door."

He wrapped up the song and grinned at Julian's wide eyes.

"So cool," the boy breathed. "We're going to your concert! I can't wait to tell my friends and the rest of my siblings and Emma that I actually met you and that you're dating Alec!"

"Wow, Alexander, you really have known these people forever, haven't you?"

"You let him call you Alexander?" Helen butted in before Alec could respond. "Wow. Points for you. Nobody else gets that honor."

"There are a couple more honors nobody else gets when it comes to Alexander," Magnus said slyly, emphasizing the name as he waggled his eyebrows. Alec's face heated up, which Helen saw with a laugh.

"You boys are too cute," said Helen. "Alec, have you been back to your apartment?"

"Yeah—we went this morning," Alec told her. "Trashed. I haven't been back since then, but I guess I should go, right?"

"Yes, but not alone."

"He's not going anywhere without me," Magnus said firmly, taking Alec's hand.

"Possessive much?" Aline teased, leaning her head on Helen's shoulder. "Was there anything else you needed?"

"Nope. When this is all sorted out, you guys are welcome over at my place too. Tell Izzy I said hi." Alec turned, gave Max one last hug, and made to exit, seeing Magnus fist-bumping an elated Julian behind him.

A/N: I'll get the next chapter up soon, promise. Or maybe I won't. We shall see.
