“Here, this is you,” Izzy rummages through a few pictures and then holds up a photo of Alec’s freshmen class. He spots himself immediately, shyly smiling to the camera. Next to him is a boy with spikey black hair and a toothy grin. Alec swallows, and decides that if he’s going to ask, he should do it now.

“Is eh,” he runs a hand through his hair. “Is he coming?”

Izzy’s face softens. “I’m sorry, Alec, I don’t know. A lot of people RSVP’d. I didn’t check all of them.”

Alec looks anywhere but at his sister. “Right.”

Or, Alec and Magnus were best friends in high school, but haven’t seen each other for 10 years. Their high school reunion might finally put an end to that.

five months of shadowhunters

( @shadowhunterbingo​ prompt: Drunken Confession) (Read on AO3)

Simon shouldn’t be drinking, but after everything that just happened at the Seelie Court he’s upset and frustrated, and can’t get out of his own head. He has the ridiculous idea that maybe getting drunk is the answer - maybe then his thoughts will be hazy enough for him to forget, at least for a little while. At the very least it might help him fall asleep, and he can’t suffer an existential crisis if he’s unconscious… he hopes.

Simon’s at the Hunter’s Moon because he doesn’t know anywhere else a vampire can go to get drunk. He wishes he had some sort of shady underground plasma connections and makes a mental note to get some in case the need ever arises in the future. Here and now, however, Maia takes one look at him and doesn’t ask any questions, only slides him over a drink. He’s grateful - at least if he can’t be somewhere he isn’t recognized he can be somewhere he’s mostly ignored.

That doesn’t last very long before he feels the presence of someone approaching and sliding into the stool next to him. Simon doesn’t have to look up from where his gaze rests firmly on the glass in front of him to know that it’s Jace. Jace Herondale, The Best Shadowhunter of His Generation. Jace Herondale, who is the very person Simon came here to try and drink away.

Jace motions for Maia to bring him a drink with a subtle hand gesture - Simon thinks idly that he must be a regular here if he can order without saying anything. Simon isn’t sure he likes the silence any longer, not when he knows it’s just building up to the inevitable, so he breaks it.

“You don’t have to be here,” Simon tells him coldly. “In fact, I’d prefer it if you weren’t.”

like they all slept over at magnus’ after a party and the morning after they’re all having breakfast a lil hungover n simon has to leave so he just says his goodbyes and because he’s still half asleep, he just goes right to jace and kisses him. it feels familiar and soft and he doesn’t register what he’s done only after he straightens up and sees alec looking at him

he turns back to jace and sees him looking back with wide eyes because he just kissed his secret boyfriend of three months in front of their friends. and since his only thoughts are fuckfuckfuck he does the first thing that comes to mind and starts going around kissing everyone goodbye

until he stands in front of alec who is clearly giving simon his “don’t you dare or i will murder you” glare so he just up n leaves.

“It’s gorgeous here,” Alec says, watching his shoes leave marks in the freshly fallen snow. “I don’t want to go inside.”

“We could find a place to sit,” Magnus offers.

“What about right here?” Alec asks, stopping in the middle of the walkway. He reaches up to the top of the railing and pulls himself up to sit on it, balancing carefully.

Magnus eyes him warily. “There are safer places to sit.”

Alec shrugs. “You have magic. If we slip you’ll catch us.” Alec doesn’t doubt his safety around Magnus for a second.

Smiling at that Magnus nods. Alec offers a hand to help swing Magnus up next to him, looking down for just a moment at the snow falling along the river edges before training his gaze back up at the city.

“It is gorgeous, isn’t it?” Magnus confirms from his side. Alec feels Magnus’ hand reach over to rest on his. He remains silent, lost in his thoughts… lost in the recollection of a time that feels like yesterday just as much as it feels like the years ago it actually was.

“Alexander? What’s on your mind?” Magnus asks.

“I was thinking about the last time I sat on the edge of a bridge,” Alec admits quietly. It’s silent again after that. Alec appreciates that Magnus won’t push him to talk about anything he doesn’t want to.

“Should we go?” Magnus asks when the silence stretches on. Magnus may not pry but that doesn’t mean he’s going to let Alec stay somewhere that might be doing more harm than good.

Alec shakes his head. “No, I’m fine here. I’m good here,” he corrects. “That was a long time ago. I remember sitting there, staring at the water… I closed my eyes… imagined leaning forward just far enough…” Alec’s voice trails off. He’s sitting up straight now, looking down but not leaning forward. The water is soothing, and no longer because he imagines it as some potential escape from his problems. “I went back to that same spot once a week, and every time I walked away I thought I was being a coward.”

Alec never told anyone that before.

“I think I subconsciously avoided them for a while after that. I’ve obviously been on bridges since then, but it’s been a while since I allowed myself to stop and appreciate the beauty again.”

“Alright, then we’ll stay,” Magnus agrees, trusting Alec to make this call for himself and easing his posture next to Alec, resting his head on Alec’s shoulder.

“I’ve been in the same position, only I wasn’t strong enough to walk away on my own. Someone had to pull me back,” Magnus admits quietly, after a pause. “You’re one of the strongest, bravest people I know, Alexander. Don’t you ever forget that.”
