you dont have to have a “coming out story” at all.

i said to my mom “i think im transgender” in an american eagle dressing room after months of already trying to present as masc and expressing gender confusion. she bought me new jeans and we went home and i guess she told my dad.

i started going to an lgbt youth group shortly thereafter and the first time i attended i didnt have a new name picked so when they asked me i literally made one up on the spot. when my dad picked me up he saw the “hi my name is” sticker on my shirt and thats how my family was informed of my new name. the name i ultimately decided on and changed to legally i chose after some considerable thought, but i went by that name for a year and a half, and thats the name my parents still call me a lot as a nickname.

young alec lightwood seeing demons’ claws and wondering if it’s worth it to avoid them

young alec lightwood being reprimanded for getting hurt and not being good enough at fighting

young alec lightwood using those lectures as an excuse to train for hours with unwrapped hands, shoot arrow after arrow until his knuckles bleed, keep his body moving when everything inside him aches for stillness

young alec lightwood taking the pain because this is what he deserves; this is his penance for the way he feels

alec lightwood loves sleeping on his side, curling his long legs up and pressing his face into his forearms. he loves the comfort of being curled into himself like that when he’s alone. but when magnus is there, pressed up against his back, an arm wrapped around his waist and fingertips slowly, methodically rubbing soothing circles into his stomach, it’s the most comforting thing he’s ever felt in his life. to be held like that, to be the little spoon, to feel the comforting radiating warmth of magnus’s body and to sink into sleep knowing that magnus is close.

Magnus is, um… quite magical.
