It's one where Alec as well as most of the gang are NY detective while magnus is a medical examiner who's just joined the team. I believe it's based around the show Rizzoli and Isles, and I could have sworn it was called Lightwood and Bane but even with that I can't find it, so I don't know if it's been deleted or I'm just misremembering the name.

Any help you can give would be great!

I found two series of one-shots that feature a deruned Alec, not sure if they are what you're looking for:

In the Space of a Moment by Shergar

Alec becomes immortal and Izzy choses to as well to come with him and see the world basically. It's very sweet.

College AU (roommates I think) where Alec sneaks food to Jace to make sure he's eating, and the siblings are generally just looking out for each other.

Thank u so much!!!

“How can you not like Christmas?” Magnus demanded, outraged. “That’s like not liking pizza!”

Alec shrugged. “Take it or leave it.”

Magnus gaped at him. “What?”

“I don’t like Christmas,” Alec repeated, finally looking up from scrolling through notes on the computer. “Is that a problem?”

***

Alec - the hot, emotionally unavailable paediatrics attending with a jawline Magnus is frequently driven to distraction by - hates Christmas. Magnus thinks this is preposterous, and makes it his mission to prove to Alec that Christmas can be fun.

Fluffy Christmas goodness with Malec being absolutely adorable and hopelessly into each other while flirting via bickering. Perfect read for the holiday season!

I'm looking for a specific fic, and maybe you can help me, because it drives me insane.

I don't know the titel anymore, but it was on ao3. In the fic Imogen Herondale deruned Alec and broke the parabatai bond between him and Jace, and he cant remember the Shadowworld anymore. A friend of Magnus finds him, and they all try to get his memorys back and figure out what happend. It was really heartbreaking and fantasic.

I hope you can help me. Thank you :)

Hi, I found a fic that fits the description of what you're looking for, but it's locked so you'll need to have an account on ao3 to be able to read it.

Exile (147277 words) by Marchling Chapters: 26/26 Fandom: Shadowhunters (TV) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Magnus Bane/Alec Lightwood, Clary Fray/Jace Wayland, Alec Lightwood & Jace Wayland, Alec Lightwood & Isabelle Lightwood, Alec Lightwood & Isabelle Lightwood & Jace Wayland Characters: Magnus Bane, Alec Lightwood, Jace Wayland, Isabelle Lightwood, Clary Fray, Catarina Loss, Imogen Herondale, Jia Penhallow Additional Tags: Hurt/Comfort, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Deruned Alec Lightwood, Homelessness, Attempted Rape/Non-Con, (Light and Not Between Tagged Couples), Hurt Alec Lightwood, Parabatai Bond, Good Parabatai Jace Wayland, Not Really Character Death, Anal Sex, Blow Jobs, Mild Suicidal Thoughts, Broken Parabatai Bond, Jace Wayland is a Lightwood, Amnesiac Alec Lightwood

Summary:

Imogen Herondale hated Alec Lightwood.

Everyone from Jia Penhallow all the way through Jace himself knew of her animosity towards the person that she felt held her grandson back from the all that the Herondale name deserved. Despite this, Alec never thought she would actually move against him because to hurt him was to hurt Jace.

He had been wrong.

Now, Alec had no runes. His memories were gone. He had no idea who he was, why there was a ragged wound inside of him that he couldn't see or how he had gotten to this abandoned apartment in San Francisco.

Do you happen to know the fic where malec doesn't get back together in 2x20(?) immediately, but ultimately do? alec gets poisoned in at one point, then magnus gives him a ring to help prevent it. they go hiking at point during the fic.

thx

I'm not sure if it's this? (It's in my Marked For Later but I haven't gotten around to reading it.)

Hi!

Chapters: 5/5 Fandom: Shadowhunters (TV), The Shadowhunter Chronicles - All Media Types, The Shadowhunter Chronicles - Cassandra Clare, The Mortal Instruments Series - Cassandra Clare, The Eldest Curses Series - Cassandra Clare Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Magnus Bane/Alec Lightwood Characters: Alec Lightwood, Magnus Bane, Isabelle Lightwood, Jace Wayland, Maryse Lightwood, Robert Lightwood, Camille Belcourt Additional Tags: Four Seasons Total Landscaping, Fantasy Island Books, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Erotic Book Store Owner Magnus Bane, Landscaping Manager Alec Lightwood, Bickering, Dirty Jokes, First Time, Hand Jobs, Crack Summary:

Alec hates his job at his parents' company, Four Seasons Total Landscaping. Especially now that his mother has decided to take a personal interest in his love life, ambushing him with blind dates on his lunch breaks. Luckily, he's found one safe place where no one ever looks for him—the private viewing booths at their neighboring store, Fantasy Island Books.

Never mind that it's an erotica store. Never mind that its owner, Magnus Bane, is simultaneously immeasurably adorable and infuriatingly shameless.

Throw the president of the United States in the mix, and Alec's life could not be more of a disaster.

--

A fun fic based on real life events, but if like me you’d deleted a certain president’s entire term from your mind this is still a very enjoyable read! I loved the way Malec’s relationship developed and their bickering was super adorable.

idk if this blog is active or not but i was wondering if you could help me find a fic i read a long time ago (it has been years and i didn't bookmark it :'( im so sorry to trouble you, but if you know what I'm talking about, please lmk!!!!)

it was a malec au where the lightwoods run a family business of security and private bodyguards (or something like that). alec is diagnosed with GBS, and has to stay home but since he's alone most of the time because everyone is working, they hire a caretaker of sorts, named magnus. alec initially hates magnus' guts, but they get along quite well eventually

Hi! I think you're looking for this fic:

Magnus Bane is absolutely insufferable. He’s cocky, jaded, and constantly makes biting remarks with a sharp tongue. He’s made his hatred for Alec, for all Shadowhunters, clear since the day they met. At Downworld Cabinet meetings, Magnus refuses to compromise on anything, making everyone’s lives harder in the process. Alec despises him. 

So why can’t he stop staring?

This is the first time I’ve read demisexual!Alec fic and I thought it was really lovely to see how his relationship with Magnus developed together with his exploration of his own sexuality.

Alec & co. have escaped from the facility where they were held and experimented on by Valentine — and where everyone but Alec gained abilities beyond the usual.

But when they meet Magnus' group and discover that Alec can touch Magnus without feeling the pain Magnus' touch causes everybody else, things change. Perhaps for the better.

I’ve always loved superhero AU fic and this is such good take on it! I thought the powers they were each given was inspired and allowed for interesting character and relationship development.

Chapters: 8/8 Fandom: Shadowhunters (TV), Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Video Game), Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types Rating: Explicit Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Magnus Bane/Alec Lightwood, Alec Lightwood & Isabelle Lightwood, Minor or Background Relationship(s) Characters: Alec Lightwood, Magnus Bane, Isabelle Lightwood, Background & Cameo Characters Additional Tags: Action/Adventure, Romance, Monster Hunters, Enemies to Lovers, More Like Rivals to Lovers Though, Alternate Universe - Fantasy, The Witcher AU, Too Many Dick Jokes, Murderflirting, Road Trips, Very Prickly Pining, Explicit Sexual Content Summary:

A witcher's job is simple: take contracts, slay monsters, profit. Alec is a wandering young witcher, nearing his wits' end, when he happens on a contract almost too good to be true. The catch is that the job comes with a partner: the beautiful, troublesome Magnus, who seems too wise to Alec's secrets, but keeps many of his own.

Together they hunt monsters—and fall in love.

(A Shadowhunters/The Witcher fusion. No knowledge of either canon necessary.)

--

I came into this with no knowledge of The Witcher at all but I still enjoyed it immensely. I loved that Magnus was also a witcher in this instead of the more obvious choice of sorcerer, and I enjoyed the slow burn tension between Malec as they learnt to trust each other and work together

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Shadowhunters (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Magnus Bane/Alec Lightwood Characters: Alec Lightwood, Magnus Bane Additional Tags: Idiots in Love, Fluff, Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending, Happy Ending, Established Relationship, Alternate Universes, universe hopping Summary:

A new Warlock loses control, a protection spell does its best to do its job, and Alec ends up waking up in a world where everything's on it's head.

Or, Alec travels to alternate universes.

It's fun.

Well, it's not really, but Magnus is in (almost) every one of them, which makes it at least bearable. Still, can Alec please just go home now?

---

The funny thing is, Alec and Magnus as we know them spend very little time together in this fic and yet this story is all about their bond -- how, in every different reality, their relationship is the axis of their worlds. It’s a tender and sweet story and very much worth a read.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Shadowhunters (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Magnus Bane/Alec Lightwood Characters: Magnus Bane, Alec Lightwood, Catarina Loss, mentions of Camille Belcourt Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Pre-Canon, Time Travel, 5+1 Things, First Meetings, Developing Relationship, Established Relationship, Multiverse, canonverse, Canon Compliant, Historical References, Historical Inaccuracy, Canon Typical Discussions of Suicide, Soulmates, Explorations of Loneliness, Mild Angst, Romance, Character Study, Gift Fic, Malec Secret Santa 2019, author takes the laws of time travel very seriously Summary:

[ “I can’t wait another hundred years to see you again, Alexander.”

He hates it, he does. He hates the way Alec looks at him with a history they haven’t yet shared.

Alec’s fingers dig into his ribs. A moment of hesitation. “You won’t have to wait that long,” he murmurs, quiet enough to be a secret. “I promise.”

“You don’t know that.”

Alec stops, forcing Magnus to stop too. Magnus squints at him, seeing double, but Alec shakes his head. “Magnus, I do.”

“How?”

“Because,” says Alec, and once again, Magnus feels the tug of magic kneading at his skin, a string of fate that wraps around his bottom rib and leads beyond his chest and enters Alec’s in exactly the same place. “You and me, we always find our way back to each other. Whatever happens.” ]

Magnus Bane meets a man from his future, interwoven throughout moments in his past.

Gorgeous prose, absolutely heart-wrenching in parts, and the time travelling is beautifully done. Every meeting between Magnus and Alec is electric and I love the way you can feel the timelines converging.
