Hunger Games, Hobbits and Harry Potter
The first time it happened, Magnus brushed it off. The Hunger Games was only a fairly recent phenomenon so he wasn't incredibly worried about the fact that Alec had not heard of Katniss Everdeen when he happened to compare their fabulous archery skills, but, he was sure to mention what a good book series it was and to subtly suggest that they watch the first film when they were cuddling on Magnus' couch a week later. He thought Alec enjoyed it, because he didn't fall asleep halfway through like he did during Miss Congeniality and occasionally he made a comment about Jennifer Lawrence's archery form. He was, however, convinced Alec enjoyed it, when he visited the institute two days later and found the boy, lying lazily across the sofa in the library reading the last few chapters of Mockingjay with rapt attention. He didn't even flinch when Magnus attempted to start a conversation, he was all but forced to magic the book onto the table and start leaving a trail of open mouthed kisses across his jaw just to get a little bit of attention.
The second time it happened, Magnus was a little alarmed, but also, he decided, sort of relieved, because whilst not having read and/or seen the Hobbit, or any Tolkien at all, was a huge crime against literature, being an Archer himself, Alec would be one of those people who, rather than enjoy the plot line, beauty of New Zealand (a.k.a. Middle Earth) and general cast hotness level, Alec would complain about Legolas ridiculous archery form. So Magnus thought it was best to let this one be, Simon, however, thought different because neither Isabelle, nor Jace had read or seen it either. So Simon had made sure each of them were free for the next twenty-four hours and Alec, Isabelle, Jace, Simon, Clary and Magnus had sat and watched all six films, in a row. This is what it caused;
"He's not even holding it right"
"There was no way he could have made that shot!"
"Clearly he has magical arrows that find the targets for him because he doesn't even aim!"
"This is the worst Archery I have ever seen in my life, and I once took Max to shoot plastic suction cup arrows with ten-year-old mundies"
"You cannot shoot a longbow sideways at a twenty-five degree angle"
"Alec, for god's sake could you please just shut up! It's a fantasy movie and he is a majestic elf with mystical powers. Please stop judging his archery and let me admire his pretty face?!" Clary finally had enough. Alec at least had the good sense to look sheepish and lean his head back against Magnus chest. (He was sitting in between the older man's legs).
"He is kind of pretty." He mused without really thinking. Magnus eyebrows shot up so high they probably got lost in the mass of fringe covering his forehead and he made a mental note to boil the flesh off Orlando Blooms bones in a vat of motor oil.
The third time it happened, Magnus literally thought he was going to die. It was like his heart had stopped. The little gang of Shadowhunters and their magnificent Warlock had all dressed up for Halloween, much to Alec's discomfort, and Clary had shown up in some Hogwarts robes with a few patches and fixes to make it look second hand, Simon had immediately said,
"Red hair, and a hand-me-down robe, You must be a Weasley." Naturally Alec, Isabelle and Jace had all looked at the two of them like they were speaking mermish.
"Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone." Clary said, somewhat astonished.
"What?" Alec had responded.
"Halloween is cancelled." Magnus announced. "Clary, Simon, I don't care what you do with your ones, but mine is not leaving this apartment until he has read all seven books, seen all seven movies and picked an OTP!" and he conjured a set of books and dvds to the coffee table, forcing the baffled Shdowhunter onto the Sofa. Clary and Simone had both dragged their other halves out of the apartment, either to go to the intended Halloween party or to watch/read Harry Potter. Almost a week later Alec returned to the institute looking, surprisingly, to be in a fairly good mood. Clary looked up from where she was sitting in the library (the other four Shadowhuters were being lectured by Mayrse for running off on a hunt without calling Alec of herself first because they were all under age and should have had an adult's approval).
"So..?" The red-head asked.
"Romione" he said. "Reminds me of you and Jace"
"Which one of us is Ron?"
"Which one of you has the emotional range of a teaspoon?" he asked looking, making it obvious who he meant and then walking out again.
Mayrse looked confused, Isabelle slightly shocked that her brother actually knew what a joke was, Jace, possibly a little hurt and Simon and Clary, well, they couldn't stop laughing like complete nutters.
Authors Note: All the Legolas criticisms are off the net, I would actually be the Clary of this situation.
