so i just saw your malec quote post and I was wondering if you could bless us with more of your favorites??
oh gosh I have so many and I probably forgot half of them
“He [Magnus] had been through a hundred heartbreaks, but he found himself afraid when he thought of Alexander Lightwood breaking his heart. He did not know how this boy with the messy black hair and the worried blue eyes, with his steady hands and rare sweet smile that was less rare in Magnus’s presence, had acquired such power over him.” --“What To Buy the Shadowhunter Who Has Everything” from The Bane Chronicles
“‘So I’m your first ever Shadowhunter, huh?’ Alec said when they separated at last. ‘You’re my first so many things, Alec Lightwood,’ Magnus said.” -- City of Heavenly Fire
And this one from before Alec and Magnus had even met, when Maryse and Robert were still in the Circle:
“‘I am fighting for a better world for myself and my son,’ said the woman called Maryse. ‘I have no interest in the world you want,’ Magnus told her. ‘Or in your doubtless repellent brat, I might add.’ --“The Last Stand of the New York Institute” from The Bane Chronicles
like the irony, lol... in like two decades you won’t think of him as repellant, magnus
“‘Hold on to me,’ Alec said, and Magnus gave him the sort of smile that made Alec feel like someone had taken an apple corer to his heart and tried to dig out the center. ‘I always do, Alexander,’ he said. ‘I always do.’” -- City of Heavenly Fire
“Speaking of hope, did you see the shot Alec got off with his bow? That’s my boyfriend.” -- Magnus Bane, City of Lost Souls
“Magnus raised his head and looked up and over at Alec; it was a look that made Clary flush and glance away. There was so much love in it, mixed with exasperation and pride and despair. It was an unguarded look, and it felt wrong to see it.” -- City of Heavenly Fire
“‘All I did was think about being worthy of coming home to you,’ said Alec. ‘It was nothing much.’ There was silence. Alec turned, a little concerned, to find Magnus staring at him. That surprised look was on his face again, and there was a softness along with it that was rare for Magnus. ‘What?’ said Alec. ‘Nothing, you stealth romance attacker,’ Magnus said. ‘How do you always know what to say?’” -- “The Land I Lost” from Ghosts of the Shadow Market
In case people are wondering why there are none from the dark artifices, I swear I can’t remember a single detail of that series lol. Also this really makes me want to make a compilation of magnus bane quotes bc anything he says is absolutely golden
anyway, consider yourself blessed, anon (or anyone who reads this)! feel free to add your own favorites :)
