Chapter 12-

A World Sheltered

Summery:

Okay, I've had my fun, time to reel in the crazy…

***I LOVE this chapter too***

Notes:

Okay, I just finished this, I really love it, I'll proof it again tomorrow.

_Alec-Alec-Alec-Alec-Alec_

They all just stood frozen, not really sure how to precede

What's the standard response when a warlock with delusions of grandeur who's one step from being a supervillian gets completely owned by yet another warlock?

"Uhh…so, is he…?" Alec finally asked,

'Not Magnus' shook his head, waiving him off

"No, he'll be fine…

In about a day or so, for the most part anyways...

It will be a bit of an adjustment."

"An adjustment? What exactly did you do?" Magnus, His Magnus, asked, sounding almost concerned

Alec glanced over at him, that familiar, breathless, near giddy feeling returning,

Lidan was terrible, he was deranged, literally one step (and, okay, a huge dose of intelligence) away from being a bond villain, and still his Magnus shows compassion and concern,

Yeah, his Magnus was, by far, the best Magnus…

'Not Magnus' shrugged

"What he did was beyond reckless; in his pathetic grab for power he attacked innocent humans, ones that have absolutely no frame of reference or coping mechanisms so far as Magic is concerned. While humans from our world are generally in the dark so far as Magic and the like is concerned, they are more capable of processing or rationalizing these events; it's a kind of defense mechanism from living in that world.

He had no qualms about completely erasing the entire identities of those at convention, nor at using an artifact on them that would take their very lives.

His actions threatened not only this universe, but quite possibly multiple universes, should the introduction of Magic cause a collapse…"

He paused, tilting his head, focusing back on Lidan, cat eyes flashing dangerously

"Plus, he snuck into my home and stole my ring,

He is lucky I am being this lenient…" he added, the tone sending a chill down the spines of all of them, causing them to take a cautious nearly simultaneous step back.

Ezekiel leaned forward, just slightly,

"Uhh…y-you know I was totally going to give the ring back to you, right? I was just holding it for safe keeping" Ezekiel offered,

Hurriedly retrieving it from his pocket, holding it out.

Jake groaned, shaking his head

'Not Magnus' chuckled, golden eyes flickering in amusement

"I know that sweetheart…

You are reckless and impulsive, not stupid."

He reached over, plucking it from Ezekiel's hand, slipping it into his pocket, before turning from the younger librarian.

Ezekiel exhales loudly

Jake gave him an exasperated look shaking his head again

Ezekiel shrugged

"So what did you do to Lidan?" Alec asked

'Not Magnus' turned focusing on him

"What he did is unforgivable and absolutely cannot happen again.

I bound his powers, turned him human, and erased all memories of actual magic or the other universe from his mind.

As far as he will know, he is nothing more than a scientist who went off the deep end, accidently creating the 'toxins' he used to influence and knock out the patrons…

In a turn of events he came into contact with the 'toxin' himself, causing him to believe he was a universe hopping warlock.

When he awakens he will realize how insane that was.

He will not remember any of the actual magic, but he will remember all of his actions, all of his crimes,

All the lives he was so willing to take.

He will be able to be arrested and tried for his crimes.

All of the evidence of his actions will be here; the case will go flawlessly-

There will be no question to his actions, or his culpability

Though his sanity may be a factor…"

Alec tilted head curiously,

"Wait, so, you are leaving him here?"

"Yes, after everything he has done it would be best if there is absolutely no chance of him coming back into contact with magic.

In any case, he will never again be a threat to you, or anyone else for that matter.

Should he ever attempt something like this, or any other violent crime, the symptoms of the Artifact poisoning will hit him,

Though only half strength, as the full effects would almost certainly be fatal for a human…

They will just last a day or so, but that should be enough to stifle whatever misdeeds he was contemplating"

He finished with a casual shrug

"Artifact poisoning?" Magnus asked confused

"What happens when a warlock absorbs the power of an artifact…

Blinding, searing pain, near maddening, blaring sound in their minds, like the worse hangover ever magnified one hundred fold"

"Uhh…that's lenient?" Ezekiel asked, unable to stop himself

'Not Magnus smirked, cat eyes flickering

"He is alive and, so long as he doesn't cause any other problems, relatively unharmed. Yes, for me that is extremely lenient."

He nodded frantically, scooting closer to Jake, who slips his arm around his waist, pulling him a bit closer

'Not Magnus' smiled, it was almost playful

"Oh good, you two actually managed to figure it out…"

Magnus gave a surprised laugh, eyes widening slightly, looking between them

"About time…

I was wondering how I'd get you two together"

Alec chuckled, looking over at him, shaking his head affectionately

"What?" Magnus asked, curious

Alec laughed again,

"Nothing, it's just, in the last two days you have found out Magic is real, helped two magic hunting 'librarians' from another universe track down a deranged warlock on a quest to become a supervillian, met a version of you from their universe, who I am still partially convinced, may be an actual supervillian, and yet you were still focused on how to help two people get together because you saw that there was something between them…"

Magnus shrugged, blushing a bit

"Well, it was important"

Alec chuckled again, at a loss as to anything to say to that,

He was just so unbelievably happy and thankful that this is the Magnus he has in his life

_Magnus-Magnus-Magnus-Magnus-Magnus_

Magnus took a deep breath, glancing back at Alexander

He had this wonderful, soft, warm smile,

Magnus had to fight down yet another sigh,

That look was just devastating,

He shook his head, slightly

He reluctantly turned away from Alexander, looking at the others

He had to focus,

In order to do that he had to draw his attention away from Alexander

"Umm…So, this really is a bit of a mess

What do we do now?"

Ezekiel nodded suddenly sobering

"Hey, yeah…how are we going to get back home?" He said alarmed

Jake looked at him confused

"What do you mean?"

He shook his head somewhat frantically

"Y-yeah I didn't know how to tell you….

Earlier, when Lidan found us…he took the Janis compass, he broke it…absorbed the power or whatever you want to call it.

I am SO sorry, W-we don't have a way home…" he said, looking down slightly

Jake looked rather at a loss before moving over near him, cautiously putting his arm around the younger man

"Hey, it wasn't your fault…

There's no way you coulda known.

We'll figure something out." He said reassuringly

Ezekiel nodded, moving a bit closer

'Not Magnus' chuckles, grinning slightly

"Oh, now, no need to look so down…

My usual way of dealing with you oh so pesky Librarians is simply to erase their memories of magic and toss them into another universe…

That could work,

Or

As you technically were helping me,

Well, an alternate universe version of me, close enough, I suppose I could give you a lift back to our universe,

Whichever." He finished with that dangerously playful grin

"Uh…the second one" Ezekiel said, eyes wide

Jake nodded quickly

Alec chuckled giving the Warlock a grateful, relieved smile

He grins, sending Alec a playful, flirty wink

Magnus raises his eyebrow, moving nearer, slipping his arm around Alec… glaring slightly…at himself…

That is such a weird thought…

Magnusraises his eyebrow chuckling, shaking his head a bit,

He turns a bit away from him

He turns away, flicking his wrist, his power shimmering in electric blue and violet sparks

The shimmering sparks intensify gaining strength

Magnus tightens his hold on Alec, gasping slightly…torn between still slightly jealous, fascinated and completely amazed

Alec slips his arm securely around Magnus, Watching the absolute wonder and amazement play across his face …

It's breathtaking

Magnus makes a few graceful movements with his hands, sending brilliant blue and violet sparks dancing in the air

The sparks swirl and churn flashing brighter, nearly crackling

A luminous, glittering violet portal opens

"I-I bu- wha-what? You can open portals? B-but how? You're not even wearing the ring …" Jake stammered, gesturing vaguely towards his hand

Magnus chuckles slightly, shaking his head

"Hmm…Oh, no dear, I can actually create them on my own;

The ring was a gift from a lover a few centuries back. It was a sweet thought, though a bit unnecessary….

Janus was so proud of creating it; he worked so hard, ensuring that I would be able to travel all the places he could…

I didn't have the heart to tell him I already could" he shrugged casually

"Janus? Like, as in, the 'Janus Compass'?" Ezekiel stammered

"Got it in one…" Magnus said pointing at Ezekiel, with a playfully cheeky wink

"Uh…Wasn't he…?" Ezekiel asked trailing off, astonished

"Yup"

"And you…?"

"Yup"

"Who?" Alec asked

"A FEW centuries?!" Magnus exclaimed

Magnus Chuckles, before casually waiving Ezekiel and Jake forward, they say goodbye to Alec and Magus then quickly jumping through the portal before the warlock can change his mind.

He chuckles again, shaking his head a bit in amusement before turning back to Magnus and Alec, giving that rather playful smirk

"Never mind all that dears; it truly was quite something meeting you, but I really do need to get back…

My Alexander will be home from his precinct soon

I cannot wait to tell him about this…"

"Y-Your…" Magnus stammered, glancing over at Alec

(His Alexander)

Magnus gave a surprisingly warm smile, glancing between the two of them, before nodding

"Yes, it seems some things truly are universal…" he says with a wink before jumping through the portal himself

_Other-Other-Other-Other-Other_

Ezekiel and Jake tumble out of the portal, landing in a rather clumsy tangled heap

"Oof!" Jake groaned, trying to catch his breath after getting the wind knocked out of him…

He didn't know if it was from the impact with the floor, or from the impact of Ezekiel landing on him in their fall, or both.

"Oww!" He grumbled, shaking his head slightly,

Ezekiel shook his head, trying to get his own bearings

"Well, at least the trip back was easier than the trip there" He said somewhat cheerfully,

"Yeah, that's cause you landed on me" Jake grumbled

Ezekiel glanced down, before his eyes met Jakes giving a slightly mischievous grin

"Hey" he said almost shyly

"Hey" Jake said, he couldn't quite stop a slight smile

Ezekiel leaned down a bit, a warm, slightly disbelieving look

All the random craziness aside, he couldn't help thinking it might all be worth it

"Ahem" a rather amused voice sounded from off to the side

They both looked up

"Oh, uhh…hey guys… we made it back" Ezekiel says sheepishly glancing from Cassandra to Jenkins

"Yeah, I can see that" She smirked, raising her eyebrow

"So how do y-" Jenkins begins but stops when the portal shimmers again signaling another person coming through

Ezekiel and Jake scramble up trying to not look awkward

"Who's?" Jenkins asks stepping back

Magnus emerged, landing gracefully, just outside the portal, before looking around at the others in the room, giving an almost friendly grin

"Magnus?! What, how did you?" Cassie asked somewhat shocked

"One moment darling" he says holding a finger up before turning to the portal

He makes a flicking motion with both hands, brilliant violet blue shimmering sparks flickering to life, crackling like lightening, they shimmer from his hands all the way up his arms,

They're radiant, nearly blinding, even from a few feet away they could feel the power absolutely radiating from him

He sighs slightly, glancing back at them, he has that terrifying smirk, his brilliant golden cat eyes truly glowing, there is no writing it off as a trick of the light.

"Oh, it is so good to be home…

I have not been that weak in centuries"

Jake kind of wished they had Alec here to distract the warlock…

And he thought the guy was terrifying before

He turned back to the portal making a few more graceful gestures, the power shimmering out, streaming towards the portal

The iridescent portal begins to rotate faster and faster, spiraling and condensing in on itself

It got brighter, dwindling in size till it resembled a small incandescent marble spinning, floating in the air.

Magnus reached forward, lightly plucking it out of the air,

Balancing it between two fingers.

He turns back to the others.

"W-what did you do? What is that?" Ezekiel asked totally shocked

Magnus grins, holding the odd stone/gem/portal/ whatever up

"That universe is totally devoid of Magic, and you were correct Jenkins, the introduction of magic genuinely could prove detrimental to it.

It needs to be protected, for everyone concerned. This-" he says, holding it up

"Is now the only portal to that universe,

I sealed it permanently, even I cannot reopen it. They will be safe, and under no threat from any forces beyond their universe." He shrugged,

Like sealing off an entire universe and singlehandedly shielding it from any and all outside threats was nothing

"Uhh…t-that's, that's good,

Good idea" Ezekiel stammered, eyes wide

He just gave a casual wave

"Eh, it really is best for everyone concerned, they are safe, and there is less of a chance of a chain reaction causing the collapse of multiple universes,

Everyone wins."

"How did you get to that universe? Do you have another artifact that can travel between them?" Cassie asked somewhat amazed

How many universe hopping artifacts were there?

He grinned, giving her a playful wink

"I told you darling, I would find a way to get in on the fun myself"

"Oh, yeah, apparently, he doesn't need one…

He can hop universes himself" Jake supplied shaking his head, still in shock about that

"You can?!" she gasped

He nodded, shrugged,

Once again as if it was nothing

"Yeah, it seems that he really just wanted the ring back for sentimental reasons, as it was a gift, made especially for him, by Janis,

You know, as in, the Greek god of transition and portals…

I guess they actually had a 'thing' a few centuries ago" Ezekiel interjected gesturing vaguely

Cassie and Jenkins just kind of stared

"Okay, none of my business,

I assume you guys did manage to find the artifacts, and apprehend Lidan?

I trust you didn't just trap a random sociopathic warlock in a universe devoid of magic…

Where is the Janis compass?" Jenkins asked

"Umm…Yeah, about that…" Ezekiel started, sheepishly

Magnus stepped forward

"I am afraid there was a bit of a dust up, the Janis Compass, along with the other two artifacts were destroyed.

Rather unfortunate, I realize, but no one's fault, save for the aforementioned universe hopping delusional warlock.

He found a way to gain the powers he so desperately craved, though the method comes at a heavy price…

He destroyed the artifacts in order to absorb the power.

It gives the warlock a very intense power boost for about a week, then unless they do the same just as the first one is dissipating, they will be left in blinding, maddening pain for months…

As much as I would have liked to simply seal up the universe and leave him in a hell of his own making, even his pathetic abilities could become a threat to that universe.

I bound his powers, turning him human and erased his memories of this universe and any magic whatsoever.

He will be tried as a normal criminal and serve out his sentence.

Should he ever attempt anything so foolish again, he will be hit with the effects of the artifact poisoning which should be enough to quash whatever nefarious actions he is contemplating."

"Oookay, t-that should work…" Jenkins said, nodding slightly eyes a bit wide

"Hey, what about Magnus and Alec?" Jake asked curiosity getting the best of him

Magnus tilted his head

"What about them, dear?"

"W-well, they know about magic now, about us and other universes and all the rest of it.

How will that affect their universe?"

Magnus shook his head

"Oh, it will not have any affect…

Unfortunately they couldn't remember all of that. It is just too dangerous.

Also I rather think, once the initial worry for one another and their friends and family was done it would be far more difficult for them to process.

The spell I used to close off the universe will also alter any memories of actual magic.

They will remember all the events, all of their actions and such, but the more fantastical parts, such as Magic, universe hopping librarians, and a warlock doppelganger, will all be altered to something explainable in their universe…

It is quite similar to the spell I used on Lidan, only no negative effects, and a great deal more powerful"

Once again, they couldn't do much but stare in shock

Magnus smirked at their dumbstruck expressions

"Well dears, this really has been quite interesting, but I really must be on my way.

Alexander will be home soon enough,

I cannot wait to tell him that I actually met an alternate version of us"

He turned, beginning for the door before pausing

Turning back to them

"You know, this was actually quite entertaining…

I generally don't care for you Librarians, but I must admit, you three have rather grown on me."

He snapped his fingers; a shimmering violet card appeared in his hand

"If you guys need help, give me a call, I might be willing to lend a bit of assistance…

You are rather interesting-"

He turned

Slinking over to Ezekiel, he slipped the card into his pocket

"Plus, the view really is quite nice.

Give me a call sometime, Sweetheart" He finished, giving a playful smirk and a flirty wink

With that he turned striding out, chuckling faintly

Ezekiel snaps out of their shared stupor first, glancing around at the others, totally baffled

"Okay, so even for us, that was weird, right?"

The others nod in unison, Jake slipping his arm around Ezekiel's waist, tugging him close.

_Raphael-Raphael-Raphael-Raphael-Raphael_

Raphael shoots bolt upright in bed, gasping, heart racing.

He looks around the dark room, breathing a sigh of relief when he sees Simon stretched out next to him in bed, fast asleep,

He looks him over; just to be sure he really is totally okay.

He's sleeping peacefully, relaxed, he has one arm thrown up above his head, breathing deeply, a soft slight smile playing on his lips.

Thank god, it was just a dream…

He scooted over closer to Simon, taking a deep breath and laying back down.

He reached over, tugging Simon close

Simon happily snuggles up against him, giving a soft, happy, totally contented sigh

He settles in, resting his head on Raphael's chest, right above his heart.

Raphael shakes his head slightly, as always at a loss how he ever ended up lucky enough to have Simon in his life.

He slides even nearer

Wrapping his arms around him securely,

He leans over, pressing a soft, gentle kiss to Simon's forward

Simon sighs again; he slips his arm around Raphael.

Cuddling even closer

Raphael smiles softly, reaching up and running his hand through Simon's hair as he drifts back off to sleep.

_Other-Other-Other-Other-Other_

"And then I sealed the universe" Magnus finished, stopping his gesticulating, causing the shimmering movie like recap of the day's events to fade into nothingness.

Alexander chuckled warmly, shaking his head.

"Man, and I thought I had an interesting day solving the Henderson case and busting a trafficking ring.

You just had to show me up, didn't you?" He teased

Magnus laughed, cat eyes flickering in amusement. He slinked over, slipping his arms around Alec, leaning over and nuzzling against his neck, making a contented sound somewhere between a purr and a hum...

"Oh, love, you know you are always the most fascinating part of my day"

Alec chuckled, slipping his arms around him

"Me or 'other Alec'? Don't think I missed you flirting with him" he asked, teasingly raising an eyebrow

Magnus grinned, nuzzling closer, pressing a kiss just below his ear, nipping slightly, causing HIS Alexander to groan

"Always you, love..."

"Good" he said determinedly tugging him up into a hard, passionate kiss that left them both gasping and breathless...

"What about me...?" Magnus asked softly when they paused for breath

The tone caught Alec off guard... he'd never heard his warlock sound so unsure.

"Hmm... what do you mean?"

Magnus shrugged slightly, glancing away

"Well... the other Magnus, he was far nicer than me; sweeter, softer, more compassionate... I wonder if you would be happier if I was more like that..." he finished, trailing off slightly

Alec smiled softly, tilting Magnus's head up, looking into those gorgeous golden eyes that always made his heart race, made his breath catch, from the moment he first saw them.

"Mags, you are all those things...

You hide it behind the magic, dramatics, and sheer strength that just seems to radiate from you, but I see it...

I love that I'm one of the only people who get to see that part of you.

I don't want you to be anyone else... even if that someone is technically still you."

Magnus shook his head, totally at a loss to a response to that...

He settled for winding his arms around his Alexander and pulling him down into a deep, intensely passionate kiss, trying to express everything that he felt for this wonderful, amazing, entirely too good for him, man...

He still cannot believe this incredible man actually agreed to marry him, but he'd long since given up questioning that...

He was just so very grateful he did.

_Alec-Alec-Alec-Alec-Alec_

Alec stretches, yawning as he reached the last bit of paper work.

He shook his head at the sheer absurdity of the day…

They went from investigating what seemed to be little more than people getting carried away at a scifi convention to working with two undercover Interpol agents tracking down a freaking mad scientist who was apparently totally mad, and convinced he was a warlock and could take over the world using a feather.

The guy had been a bit of a screw up and ended up stumbling on a toxic gas that could knock people out instantly and another that created vivid delusions and hyper realistic dreams.

He tried to use the toxins on patrons at the scifi convention in hopes of being able to use a feather from a 'siren' (he had Izzy test it when they got back to the station, it was a parrot feather) steal not their abilities, but the abilities of the characters they were portraying

Because the power stealing feather wasn't crazy enough apparently,

He had to want the powers of a hobbit and a Wookie.

This kinda makes the 'Magnus getting tips from a cat' thing seem almost mundane…

All in all it was a success:

Ezekiel and Jake went back home, though they'd asked to be left out of the case file, as they were undercover and it could compromise their cover.

Alec and Magnus had agreed …

Though Magnus was rather disappointed they couldn't keep in touch.

He was still happy the two figured out their feelings for one another before they left, which really was wonderful, they deserved it…

Also, Alec had the feeling that Magnus wouldn't let them leave until they got that sorted.

The hostages were all okay, they had been thoroughly checked over at the scene by the paramedics for any lingering effects from the unknown toxin.

They all looked like they were in the clear, all rather tired, and reporting bizarre, vivid dreams, but other than that they were fine.

All of them were now safely back home where they belonged, getting some much needed rest.

"Darling, are you nearly finished? you look as if you are about ready to collapse…" Magnus said warmly, resting his hands on Alec's shoulders, leaning in glancing over the paper work

Alec leaned back, glancing over catching his warm deep brown eyes, smiling slightly

His heart did that familiar fluttering thing,

He reached up, absently resting his hand on Magnus's, squeezing just a bit

"Hey…Luke finally let you out huh?"

He chuckled warmly, nodding

"Yes, well, for tonight at least…I've a feeling I may be hearing about this one for quite a while yet."

Alec gave him a slightly sarcastic look, raising his eyebrow

"What, going off on your own to confront a bond villain reject, who was clearly fixated on you and trying to lure you into a trap?

Yeah that one's gonna take a bit"

Magnus shook his head slightly "I know…

I am just glad everything worked out, everyone is safe, and Lidan is not longer a threat to anyone.

It truly was the best outcome we could have hoped for."

Alec nodded

"Yeah…I'm really glad Maddie was the security there.

I could see me trying to explain a mad scientist who was convinced he was a warlock was kidnapping people in order to steal their essences with a the aid of a parrot feather If I didn't actually know the security guard."

"That was quite fortunate..."

"She's actually gonna come by later this week and talk to Luke,

I really hope she comes back, she was one of the best officers I've known"

He glanced back over at Magnus, absently squeezing his hand once again.

"I really think you'd like her… She was a really positive part of my life. Actually working with her was a big part of why I was okay coming out when I started with the SBPD"

Magnus gave him a small, affectionate smile

"Then I would very much like to meet her, if anything else, to thank her."

Alec blushed brightly, smiling

"However, that and anything else really must wait until at least tomorrow... I do not know about you, but I am absolutely exhausted"

Alec shrugged

"I know, I just have a bit more paperwork then I'll head out, too"

Magnus gave a rather exasperated sigh, before moving over and perching on the edge of his desk

Alec glanced up at him curiously

"I thought you were heading out? You're exhausted; go home…I'll talk to you tomorrow."

Magnus raised his eyebrow slightly shaking his head stubbornly

"Nope, I am not leaving until you do…

You have been through just as much as I have today, you need a rest.

I am not leaving you here to spend the night doing paperwork."

Alec groaned rolling his eyes slightly

"Magnus, you are exhausted, I'll be fine…You need to go home and rest."

"You are quite right, My Darling Detective, but so do you…"

"Magn-"

He leaned over closing the file he was working on, squeezing his hand

"Sweetheart, please…

Lidan is in custody,

We have more than enough evidence of his actions,

The hostages are all at home safely,

The people from the convention have been treated and released…

Everyone is safe,

Everyone is happy,

Everyone is home…

Except you.

All of this can wait until tomorrow, when you have had a moment to really process everything, and several hours rest." He stood up, grabbing Alec's hand, and tugging to indicate for him to get up.

"Come on darling, walk me out…

It is quite late, probably best to have a strong, skilled, gorgeous detective walk me to my car,

You know, just to be safe" he said with a playful smirk

Alec chuckled rolling his eyes and shaking his head slightly, but he relented, standing up, closing the file and putting it to the side for tomorrow.

He turned back to Magnus nodding towards the door

"Okay, okay, you win, I'm coming…"

Magnus grinned, turning falling in step beside him, close enough that their shoulders brushed slightly every now and then

He glanced over, giving Alec a warm, relieved smile

"Thank you, darling, I feel safer already…" he said, playfully batting his eyes exaggeratedly, slipping his arm around Alec's similar to how he did at the convention

Alec chuckled, rolling his eyes, but he couldn't help smiling

"Well, it's probably for the best…

If anyone could end up in trouble leaving a police precinct, it'd be you"

Magnus laughed

"Well, I guess that just means you need to stay close to me, doesn't it?" He said playfully

Alec chuckled again,

They walked in companionable silence to the parking lot,

Alec couldn't help subtlety glancing over at Magnus

He is just so happy that HIS Magnus is okay (Where did THAT come from? He wonders)

They reach their cars, they had ended up parked right next to each other, it was nearly midnight, their weren't too many other cars in the parking lot now

Just a few patrol cars and nondescript undercover vehicles

Magnus squeezes his arm one more time, turning to him

"Good night sweetheart" he says, turning to his car

Alec stops him, pulling him back, wrapping his arms around him, holding him tight

Magnus sighs slightly, wrapping his arms around Alec's neck

"I am okay, sorry for scaring you, yet again"

Alec shook his head

"It's not that…though you truly did…

I'm just…I'm just really glad that you're you"

Magnus chuckles softly

"Sweetheart, who else would I be?"

Alec laughed slightly, shrugging, shaking his head

"I don't know…I just am"

Magnus gives another soft, warm laugh,

"Well… In that case, I am quite glad you are you,

My Darling Detective"

THE END….

….FOR NOW

_End Of Chapter Notes_

So, What did you guys think?

I really love how it worked out it was SO much fun!

I love my Warlock Magnus

The next story I'll be starting pretty soon:

It's called

Meet The Parents:

A string of break-in's hit too close to home for Alec

Magnus meets Alec's Parents…

This one will probably have a bit more angst again…(Sorry, it's what the story calls for, and you all know I'll Balance it out)

We have two more stories between here and the one where we get Magnus/Alec Actually together

(Though right now they're pretty much there, just too stubborn to admit it)

Meet the Parents- Probably kinda Angsty, but I really want this story, Also we're gonna have Max back, and probably his friends too, cause I really liked them

About Last Night- No angst, lots of humor, lots of craziness, probably a few misunderstandings- Inspired by the episode of Psych when Woody, Shawn, Lassie, And Gus can't wake up and can't remember the night before… This one should be kinda crazy and fun, plus we'll have Izzy back!

Alec Did A Bad, Bad Thing- This is the one we've been building to…I have so many ideas for this it is not even funny, I am so excited about this, though at this point I am afraid of how long it may end up…

So we are getting close…thank you all SO much for keeping with it, I am really loving how this series is going, I hope you are having as much fun as I am.

Thanks again for reading!

*****So I'm just gonna ramble for a sec, but I swear there is a reason for it, Kay?*****

So…here's the thing…

If you can't tell by my writing, my mind kinda just takes random things and RUNS so much I can barely keep track…

I actually just started writing actual FICS at the beginning of this year…

I've always had a million ideas floating around in my head but didn't really think I'd be able to actually work them out into real, complete stories…

At the beginning of this year I wrote out a list of plot bunnies, because, well, as I said I had a ton of ideas but didn't think I had the follow through…

As I was writing the list, Well over a dozen. many I'd been fiddling with in my head for years,

One of the little, vague ideas, that was literally not even a whole sentence, kinda took root in my mind and I just decided what the heck and tried to write it ( Mack/Fitz Agents of Shield Car Shop AU-)

They're like 10th in my list of pairings

Yes, I have them listed and ranked; I have just shy of 30 over all-

No, I am not sorry

Up till then I'd never written an actual, full length story, the plot was just literally, AOS/Mechanics shop AU, and I know less than absolutely nothing about car repair, So, of course, that's the one I run with….

Anyways, I write it, and I absolutely love it…I got a ton of other ideas for that universe, and ended up writing a second part, and I do intend to add more to that universe later on (Apparently I am incapable of writing something that is just a standalone story…)

I swear, I'm going somewhere with this…

So, the Second thing I wrote was the beginning of this series, it was one of the other ideas on my Plot Bunnies List.

Literally my 'plot' for this initially was just 'Shadowhunters cast, only without the Supernatural/Magical elements in a Psych type detective series'

So, naturally, my very next thought is …

But what if we DID have the supernatural/Magical stuff?

I know this is kinda crazy, but what do you guys think of having some stories in the Librarians/Warlock Magnus Universe?

I really love how he turned out and I want to write more with him because he is SO much fun!

Mind you, I won't do anything on that until we get to the Alec Did a Bad Bad thing story (and the Pride thing after it)

But after that?

(Keep in mind I'll still have more installments in this series, I'll just be bouncing around a bit)

Here's what I have so far

•AU we saw in The Truth Is Really Out There

• No 'Shadowhunters' those characters would just be human- except maybe Clary

• It's the Magnus from the Crossover Story, because I love him so much and I don't want to stop writing him…

• Alec is the Head Detective for the Brooklyn PD

• Alec is totally in the dark about the whole supernatural thing (At first)

• Luke is still the chief, also an Alpha Werewolf

• Simon is Alec's new partner- he seems really similar to the Simon from MBPD series

• Raphael is a Vampire, head of the Brooklyn Vampire Clan

• Quite a few Supernatural creatures work with/interact with the BPD- the humans don't see everything (I'm thinking kinda like in Grimm)

• Darker cases- Probably more (in my case meaning, at least some) Violence-if I can write it correctly

• Probably a few suspects Alec will think 'got away'- They didn't, at least not from Magnus

• Will EVENTUALLY have the Librarians, but not till later, when we reach where it intersects with MBPD story

• Alec sees Magnus at a crime scene Brings him in for questioning….Magnus could easily leave, or make him forget, but he thinks he's hot and finds him interesting so he goes along to flirt/tease him

• Most of the supernatural's at the precinct freak when they see him- Alec has no idea why

•Magnus just laughs it off, acts like it's all just a game

That irks Alec

• Tells Alec he's a Psychic, Offers to help with cases

• 1st case, he was brought in on (From the scene Alec meets him at)- Helps track down a killer; only Alec doesn't know it's not a human, he can't see all the evidence

• Luke and a few of the others warn Alec about going after Magnus, but won't really tell him why

• Alec would remain in the dark for at least a few stories-

• Magnus spins the cases in a way they would to explain to a normal human

•The Supernaturals are confused, and kinda terrified, but they just let him do whatever the hell it is he's doing, cause they kinda have to

• Luke gets kinda nervous when Magnus comes in, but they have a good relationship/friendship-

• Raphael comes down to the station to try to talk some sense into Magnus…

• Meets Simon

• Says he's Magnus partner and they're gonna be working the cases together

• Simon's happy

• The Supernaturals are really worried now

• Magnus and Alec's relationship would start out totally differently...

• Alec is suspicious of Magnus- people, including Luke keep telling him to be careful going after Magnus, but won't tell him why, He starts thinking he's some kind of suspect or crime boss

• Thinks he was involved in the crime but got away with it, threatens to prove it-

• Magnus finds it entertaining so he plays it up a bit

• Magnus and Alec would get together quicker- still a bit of a wait though-(I'd say within the first 3-5 stories) it would have to be after the Supernatural reveal and I have to play with that for at least a bit…

• At first it's just fun for Magnus, but he ends up charmed by Alec- by his honesty, bravery, selflessness and heart

• He develops a soft spot for Alec, and genuinely likes him. Starts to actually, really care about him, for the first time in a long time (he cares for Raphael he's his closest friend and Magnus has been looking out for him since he turned- but that's about the only person he really cares about)

• Raphael I think would be closer to demiromantic

So what do you guys think?
