~4 years later~

The last four years had been filled with never-ending challenges, mostly from the Clave. Whilst they couldn't deny Clary, Alec, Magnus, Izzy, Raphael, and Simon all bared the blessing of Raziel. No one wanted two inexperienced shadowhunter or downworlder running the shadowworld. The Clave didn't want to lose the power it holds over the downworlders. However, going again the blessing and denying what fifty-plus shadowhunters had seen and heard the Angel Raziel gift is considered blasphemous to the shadowhunters working in the institutes worldwide. Surprisingly, it's the downworlders who were more accepting of Alec and Clary. Alec protected the downworlders from Valentine. He risked his life to ensure that Valentine never succeeded with his plan to wipe out the downworld. The downworlders trust Clary and Alec. They trust those who took part in the fight, so; the downworlders supported and came to Alec whenever they had any significant issues; they couldn't sort out themselves.

With the downworld behind them, Clary could take over the Clave and brought them into a new age, kicking and screaming. It took three long years to get here, to reach a world where the shadowhunters started to trust the downworlders, a world where downworlders felt safe to rely on the shadowhunters. We scrapped the accords. In the accords place, an agreement between the shadowhunters and the downworlders replaced it – it describes what all kinds in the shadowworld want their world to look like by working in partnership.

Of course, that didn't entirely end their problems as the Clave's previous heads tried their best to claw back control by forcing their children to seduce Clary, which didn't work by a long shot. During this long four years had fallen in love with Jace who returned her feelings, no one could come between them. In the first year after Valentine's demise, Alec spent most of it travelling with Magnus worldwide, dismantling and destroying Valentine's hideouts, making sure the Circle will never rise again whilst Clary temporarily moved to Idris with Jace and their mom. Jace discovered he isn't a Wayland but a Herondale, Jace after two years of dating proposed to Clary. They got married only last year after everything had settled. Clary could invite her downworlder friends and family to Idris. And only three months ago, Magnus and Alec tied the knot. It had mostly been to please his mother. Alec and Magnus were both immortal and had the rest of their lives to spend together. Still, Jocelyn and Clary wanted to see Alec get married before they passed away, which is something Alec didn't want to think about for a long time.

All this lead up to the present day. To ensure the alliance between the shadowhunters and downworlders stayed strong. Alec and Clary met up twice a month in official meetings to discuss any issues or changes to their respective kinds. Today is one of those days. They have converted the warehouse where Valentine took his last breath, and the Angel Raziel appeared into a fancy meeting area where downworlders and shadowhunters came whenever they needed to discuss something with Alec or Clary (after making an appointment)

"Good morning, Mr Alexander Bane-Fairchild," Clary said, walking into the warehouse.

"Hello Mrs Fairchild-Herondale" Alec laughed, standing up and wrapping his arms around his sister, "Hey little sis, how's Idris?".

"Same old, they're demanding for Jace and me to have children, I told them to shove it," Clary said, sitting down in the chair beside her brother, taking his hand in hers, "Mom sends her love."

"Give her mine; I'll come to Idris next week to see her. I heard Luke permanently moved to Idris now to be with her" Alec said; he'd met Maia who's the new alpha a couple of days ago. She seemed nice, if not a little stressed about taking over the pack.

"Yeah, I'm surprised it took this long" Clary smiled. Luke didn't like being separated from Jocelyn after moving to Idris to be with Clary. He's continually visiting Idris whenever he's allowed. Still, it isn't until recently had downworlders been permitted to live in Idris permanently. Luke spent the last four years preparing another werewolf to take over the New York Pack. When the opportunity came to live with Jocelyn, he wouldn't be abandoning his pack with no alpha, "How's the downworlders?".

"Had a scuffle between the werewolves and vampires, but that's nothing new. The Seelie queen wants me to come to her realm, but I've refused. I won't meet with downworlders outside of this room unless we're friends," Alec explained, he's heard rumours about the Seelie Queen. He's trying to delay meeting her.

"Wise choice," Clary laughed, "How's Magnus?".

"He's fine. What about Jace?" Alec asked.

"He's good; we're actually going on a mundane date after this. He wants to learn more about my mundane life. Actually, I better go, he's waiting outside. God forbid what he could get up to being left alone," Clary said, standing up, turning to face Alec. Wrapping her arms around his neck in a quick hug which Alec returned before kissing his cheek and pulling away.

"See you later, Frazzle!".


"I'm home" Alec shouted into the apartment as he portaled inside. Magnus is sitting on the sofa, his phone pressed up against his ear, and he looked irritated. Alec dropped his bag onto the table, flopping down beside Magnus, and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

"For the last time Raphael, Simon won't say no. You'll never lose that one, if he can put up with your grumpy personality, then he can do anything. Alexander's home… Raphael, everything will be fine… okay bye." Magnus said before ending the call and dumping his phone on the coffee table, "Raphael's worried Simon will say no when he proposes tonight. I've never seen him so nervous before."

"Simon won't say no, he's been waiting for Raphael to propose since Jace and Clary got engaged" Alec laughed. For the last two years, Simon has been dropping not-so-subtle hints to Raphael about getting married, and now Raphael had finally decided to propose. Had Simon been adamant he wanted Raphael to propose to him, Alec won't be surprised if Simon would've proposed years ago.

"Thirsty?" Alec asked, already expecting the answer as he stood up
and walked over to Magnus' drinks section.

"You read my mind," Magnus said, accepting the drink from Alec before taking a large sip of it. He then raised his glass in Alec's direction, "To us".

"To us," Alec said, clinking the glasses together. Still, instead of taking a sip of his drink, he sat down beside Magnus, leaning forward and pressed their lips together.

"I love you" Alec whispered.

"I love you too," Magnus said before pressing their lips together once more. Alec sighed into the kiss. This will never get old. And he couldn't wait to spend the rest of eternity with the man in front of him.

The End
