Warlock!Alec returns home.

Alec steps out the portal and looks around the loft. He sees a toaster by the Keurig machine.

An ordinary four slice KitchenAid toaster.

Before Magnus came into his life, Alec used magic if he wanted his bagels toasted and he never cared for toasted bread.

But Magnus wanted a toaster, so Alec got him one. He had to magic one up because he couldn't find one in Magnus' favorite color.

Yellow.

Which at the time, made Alec laugh, because who has 'yellow' as a favorite color? But he thought about it, and realized it made perfect sense considering the mark of Magnus' warlock doppelgangers.

The toaster wasn't there when Alec woke up this morning.

Alec stands there staring at the toaster. After some time, it could have been five minutes, it could have been five hours, he realizes that somebody is holding him from behind and gently kissing the back of his neck.

He spins around and stares at his husband.

Magnus laughs, "Finally. I thought you had fallen asleep standing up."

Alec holds Magnus' face in both hands and kisses him, then sighs happily as he rests his forehead against his husband's, "I missed my sweet ShadowHunter kisses."

Magnus laughs, "I wondered where you were. Got home and was dead tired, so I took a nap. Battling forsaken can be exhausting."

Alec straightens up, "Forsaken?"

Magnus nods, "Yeah, in Times Square, no less. Five of them. But me and Taylor took care of them."

"Forsaken."

"You okay?"

"Yeah, it's just weird that you were dealing with forsaken."

"Why?" Alec gently touches his forehead. Magnus blinks as the events from the other timeline flash through his mind. His eyes widen as he looks at Alec, "By the angel."

Alec nods, "Like I said weird."

"Who was the warlock next to Mikey?"

"That my darling, was Emil."

"Emil, as in the warlock that wanted to make Mikey a killing machine?"

"Not the original, but yes."

"It's a good thing, Mikey got away from him before he gained control over Mikey's magic."

Alec laughs, "Nobody would be able to do that."

"But he was only a boy."

Alec nods, "True, but Max showed me the video, Mikey was in control of the situation. Emil had no chance of getting him to stand down. It was only a matter of how dead Emil was going to be."

Magnus laughs, "How dead?"

"Yes, my darling. If Emil had been smart, he should have walked out the room and left Mikey with the ShadowHunter. But he was stupid. He challenged a more powerful warlock and got killed."

Magnus smiles, "The ShadowHunter?"

Alec laughs, "Yes, it's strange seeing myself as a ShadowHunter." He winks, "Even though I look damn good with runes."

Magnus kisses him, "I prefer magical Alec Lightwood. It's odd that in most of the worlds, I'm the warlock."

Alec smiles, "Yes, you, my darling, seem to be one of a kind. Good thing because I love my sweet ShadowHunter kisses."

Magnus laughs, "So everything is okay now?"

Alec nods, "Everything is back to normal."

"Good." He sighs, "I'm starving."

Alec smiles, "I'll get a pizza?"

"Sounds good."

Alec holds Magnus around the waist, "Just let me hold you a little bit longer."

Magnus kisses him, "We can do more than hug."

Alec smiles, "That sounds like a wonderful idea."

They hold hands as they walk to their bedroom.

A few hours later, they have toasted bagels with cream cheese for dinner.
