After what felt like an eternity, they were both sprawled on Magnusâs bed. Alecâs head was resting on his chest, his hand caressing Magnusâ thigh.
Magnus ignored the tingle on his skin and cleared his throat.
âWell,â he prompted.
âWell, what?â Alec asked.
He sounded like he had no intention to move his head â or his hands for that matter.
âHow was it?â Magnus asked this time.
Alec chuckled and the sound went right through his ribs and into his heart.
âAre you asking for a performance report?â Alec questioned.Â
âNot so much a report, no,â Magnus replied. âBut I do appreciate constructive criticism.â
âYou once threatened to portal Jace to hell when he said your shoes didnât match your coat,â Alec countered.
âIt wasnât a threat. I appreciated his feedback. Jace would most definitely enjoy a trip to hell,â Magnus argued. âBesides, Iâm not talking to Jace right now. Iâm talking to you.â
Alec only hummed, continuing his ministrations with his fingers. Magnus was aware Alec was tracing something on his thigh. But he couldnât quite figure out what. It was difficult to concentrate when neither of them were clothed. Â
âSo,â Magnus prompted again. âDid you like it?â
âWhy do you want to know?â Alec asked, his voice curious. âAre you doubting your skills?â
âThis isnât about me,â Magnus simply said. âThis was your first time ever. I want to know if youâre okay.â
Alec lifted his head then. There was a smile on his lips. Magnus also wanted to know if it was one of those smiles that were reserved only for him.
âIâm okay,â Alec replied and kissed Magnus on the lips. âIâm better than okay.â
âWas it anything like how you imagined it would be?â Magnus questioned.
He didnât know why he kept asking Alec all these questions. It wasnât like he doubted his skills in bed of course.
But with Alec, everything was different.
The way he spoke. The way he fought. Even his magic, it felt different when he was with Alec.
And the sexâŚWell, he had never met anyone like Alec before.
So, it had been different as well.
Magnus just wanted to know if Alec felt the same.
âI donât think I could have imagined this,â Alec chuckled. âAnd trust me, I imagined plenty.â
Magnus laughed and kissed Alec again. There was no one to interrupt them now. Not anymore.
âWhat did it feel like?â Magnus asked after a while.Â
âWhat do you mean?â
âMy magic is connected to my body and how I feel,â Magnus explained. âSo sex for warlocks can be a littleâŚwild.â
âOh,â Alec said.Â
âI was wondering if shadowhunters felt something similar,â Magnus pointed out.Â
âIâm not sure,â Alec replied. âWe donât have magic. Just runes.â
Magnus hummed. He had expected as much.
âBut the runes are helpful though,â Alec said now.
âYes, I noticed,â Magnus giggled.
âStop it!â Alec blushed.
âSo, I guess it was just like sex for mundanes,â Magnus pointed out.
âI donât think so,â Alec replied. âIt was definitely different.â
It wasnât like Alec had any experience to compare it to. But he sounded confident.
âBecause of the runes?â Magnus inquired.
âBecause of you,â Alec smiled.
âOh,â Magnus said. âWhat do you mean?â
âIt felt different,â Alec went on. âI told you. I couldnât have imagined something like this. I can barely explain it.â
âWell try!â Magnus urged, now definitely curious.
âYou do want a performance report!â Alec laughed. âI knew it!â
âCall it what you want,â Magnus rolled his eyes. âHow was it different?â
âOkay let me try,â Alec said, his eyebrows knit in concentration, his bottom lip pouting on its own.
Magnus wondered if this is how what he looked like when sitting for an exam - did shadowhunters even have exams?
âOkay. Okay. I think I got it,â Alec squirmed around until he was facing Magnus. âDo you know how shadowhunters feel when their marks get stripped?â
âGood lord,â Magnus was horrified.Â
âJust let me finish,â Alec rolled his eyes.
Magnus gave him a quick peck on the lips. âFine. Go ahead.â
Alec seemed pleased by the kiss and almost looked like he had forgotten his point.
âRight. So...Getting your marks stripped is like the worst thing that can happen to a shadowhunter. When we were kids, our parents would use it to scare us into behaving.â
âYikes,â Magnus said eloquently.
âItâs true,â Alec sounded distant for a moment. âItâs one of the reasons I didnât want toâŚI didnât want anyone to know.â
âYour people should really start writing parents books,â Magnus muttered angrily. âShare the wisdom with the rest of the world.â
âWell, they couldnât have scared with monsters under the bed or whatever,â Alec pointed out. âShadowhunter children are not scared of monsters.â
Indeed. Magnus wondered if their kids would one dayâŚ
No. Too soon.
âAnyway,â Alec thankfully carried on. âItâs really scary. Itâs painful. Just thinking about it makes me sweat to be honest.â
âI do hope you are going somewhere with this, Alexander,â Magnus grumbled.
âBeing with youâŚâ Alec said, threading his fingers with Magnusâ own. âItâs the opposite of that.â
âGo on,â Magnus grumbled â but softly this time.
âI did mean what I said. I donât have the words to describe it. But I just know itâs the oppositeâŚAll that pain and fear and worry. What I felt with youâŚIt was the opposite of that. There was no fear or worry or pain. Just you and me. Thatâs all that existed in that moment.â
Magnus tried to comprehend all of that.
âSay something,â Alec nudged his hip with a finger.
âNephilim have a very weird way of talking about feelings,â Magnus replied.
Alec laughed, head thrown back and throat exposed. Magnus almost wanted to summon a camera to capture the moment.
âNephilim donât talk about feelings,â Alec countered. âBut I donât think itâs a Nephilim thing. Itâs probably a me thing. Iâm not so good with words.â
Magnus didnât think that was quite true.
âDo you remember when Valentine raised Raziel?â Alec asked suddenly.
âAnd almost killed my entire race?â Magnus asked dryly. âI do vaguely recall something like that.â
Alec ignored the sarcasm â probably he a skill he developed simply by being Jaceâs parabatai.
âI kept wondering what it must have felt like,â Alec said. âTo be in the presence of RazielâŚItâs the closest a shadowhunter can get to being in the presence of god.â
Magnus wanted to ask if Alec was religious. But now didnât seem like the time to have that conversation. God probably wouldnât approve of their current state.
âI still remember that night. When Lake Lyn looked like it was lit up by a thousand suns,â Alec said in awe, his blue eyes glowed. âThere was an angel among us. An actual angel.â
He was right. The fact that there had been an angel in Idris had gotten overlooked by all the blood and murder. But it didnât make it any less true.Â
âRaziel was actually there. And for a moment, it felt like we were briefly in heaven. Just for a moment,â Alec said quietly and looked at Magnus in the eye.Â
Magnus stared back, lost in Alec and his world.Â
âThatâs what it feels like,â Alec said softly.
There was a moment of silence. Magnus wanted to say something back. Something just as beautiful.
But alas, he was Magnus.Â
âAlexander Lightwood,â Magnus giggled. âDid you just compare me to Raziel? Damn, I really am that good.â
Alec pinched his arm. âI told you Iâm not good with words!â
Liar, Magnus thought.Â
Magnus pulled him closer, his voice low. âBut you are good with a lot of other things.â
Alec grinned and kissed him on the jaw. âIâm glad you noticed.â
Magnus only smiled in response and kissed Alecâs neck â his eyes memorizing the runes, his hands memorizing the curves, his ears memorizing the moans and his heart memorizing it all.
Alec pulled back and held Magnusâ face in his hands.
It reminded Magnus of the way the archer held his bow â with a familiar ease that made Magnus smile wider.
âIf I donât have the words to describe how I feel, itâs because I never imagined I would feel anything like this,â Alec whispered.
âI donât want your words,â Magnus said softly. âOnly your heart.â
âItâs yours, Magnus,â Alec said â promised. âNever doubt that.â
Magnus kissed him then. A kiss that burned all every fear and worry and pain Alec carried within him.
Alec pulled again and Magnus tried not to pout.
âI might not to be able to describe how I feel,â Alec said, the blush creeping in once more. âBut maybe I can show you?â
Magnus laughed and laid back against the pillows. âBy all means.â

Exactly one year ago today, I drew the picture on the left. I remember being so proud of it. I still am. I decided to redraw it in honor of Malec Month and for itâs year anniversary.
It is still one of my favorites 𼰠inspired by one of my favorite Cassandra Jean pieces & one of my favorite BTS songs!
I hope you like it đ

đ can you do favorite things about eachother and Malec your other ones were so perfect!!
alec's favourite things about magnus
his kindness. it will never fail to amaze alec that despite living for centuries and facing everything magnus has faced, he never lost his capacity for kindness. it inspires alec.
one of the most beautiful things alec has ever seen is magnus' laughter. the full laughing-till-your-stomach-hurts laughter. the way magnus' eyes crinkle when he's laughing makes alec want to kiss it and drown in the sound of magnus' laugh.
the sight of him when he's reading. there have been one too many instances of alec getting distracted by this, just staring at magnus with adoration till magnus eventually notices and kisses him hard.
kisses. saying that alec loves magnus' kisses would be a massive understatement. alec doesn't think there are words to describe just what magnus' kisses do to him and make him feel.
he loves the way magnus would always pull him closer, tighter against him first thing in the morning. he loves how it has become a sign of magnus waking upâhis arms tightening around alec and their bodies melting into each other.
seeing magnus in casual clothesâsweatpants and t-shirts, or alec's personal favouriteâhis own sweater. he loves seeing magnus pad around in their house barefoot, sweatpants hanging from his hips and wearing one of alec's t-shirts. the domesticity of it makes his heart ache with joy sometimes.
the way he flirts. even after years together, magnus has the ability to fluster alec with his words and charm. alec wouldn't have it any other way, thoughâhe loves the way magnus' eyes twinkle when he flirts with him.
magnus' favourite things about alec
his confidence. seeing alec become the man he is while also being truer to himself than he ever wasâmagnus feels privileged and the proudest for getting to witness it.
he loves just how expressive alec his with his love. he's so earnestâand he never fails to make magnus and their kids feel loved.
how he goes out of his way to make sure people are comfortable. how he is constantly willing to learn, so he knows how to help someoneâso he doesn't let anyone down.
when he sings. it doesn't happen very often, so magnus cherishes these rare moments even more. alec's voice is one of his favourite things in the world.
he loves how the first thing alec always does when he returns home is kiss magnus. it took him a while to realise it had become a little tradition.
the crease in his forehead when he's trying to concentrate, and the slight twitch that his nose does when he's confused or can't understand something. magnus loves that he gets to learn all these little quirks about alec.
watching him with their children. he loves how extremely soft and gentle alec is, the smile on his face of absolute delight. loves the sight of his husband and his childrenâhis familyâsomething he never thought he'd have.
"Alec kissed him back with shattering enthusiasm, and Magnus thought, Yes, this one, this one fits, after all the stumbling around and searching, and here it is."

From.....LOST BOOK OF THE WHITE. Really. We're jumping ahead for fun. Our boys steal some time alone with the baby in the next room....
Now Magnus watched Alec walk toward their bed, safe and home and well-beloved, and he felt the last of the tension slip from his body. He could sleep again, he thought. It had been a while since they slept in their bed together, at the same time. Too long. He rolled his shoulders, sighing, and Alecâs eyes followed the movement.
âIâm not tired,â claimed Alec, clearly lying. âAre you tired? Or would you want toâstay awake?â
Oh. It had been a while for a few things.
Too long.
Magnus leaned in across the bed and lied, his voice soft and delighted: âIâm not tired.â
Alec was already leaning in to him, his lean warriorâs body stretched out on the bed and curving toward Magnus. They met halfway, the kiss moonlight soft at first. Magnus was smiling. Alecâs warm mouth curved, after a moment, into an answering smile. Moonlight changed to starlight, a feeling like points of brightness coming to shining life all through Magnusâs body.
Magnus separated reluctantly from Alec to help Alec slide off his worn T-shirt. Magnus dropped the T-shirt by the side of the bed, and began to draw his own rings from his fingers.
âHey,â Alec murmured, eyes shining in the low light, voice husky. âLeave them on.â
It had been much too long.
âAll right,â Magnus whispered back. âAnything you want.â
âAnything?â said Alec.
Magnus reached out and stroked the angelic rune traced against of Alecâs throat, and felt Alec swallow under the light pressure of Magnusâs fingers and the metal of his rings. Then Magnus clasped the nape of Alecâs neck and drew him in for another kiss. His free hand glided up the arch of Alecâs back, rings stuttering along his spine. His palm slid up to his shoulderblades, mapping the well-known and always wonderful stretch of soft skin and scars.
Alec broke the kiss with a gasp, and leaned his head down on Magnusâs shoulder, tucking his face into Magnusâs neck for a moment. He slid the robe off Magnusâs shoulders, and as the silk slid away he kissed the bared brown skin. The press of his mouth was tender as well as passionate, every move of Alecâs always so utterly sincere.
âAnything,â said Magnus, and meant it with all his heart. âWhat do you want?â
âEverything,â Alec mumbled. âYou.â
â âEverythingâ and âmeâ are not the same thing,â Magnus murmured.
âThey are to me,â said Alec.
He kissed him again, kissed away the startled look Magnus knew he was wearing, still caught off guard by Alec Lightwood, still wondering if this could possibly be for him. This kiss went as deep as the first one tonight had been soft, and as they kissed Alec tumbled back on the silk pillows and pulled Magnus down against him.
Magnus nuzzled the rune on the side of Alecâs neck, then kissed the hollow at the base of his throat, and felt the shiver run through Alecâs body beneath him.
Was the Red Scrolls of Magic a fast read for everyone or just me?! I absolutely loved it Iâve always wanted to read from Alecâs POV since the Mortal Instruments books because he had this sassy air about him and I absolutely loved his subtlety about it and that made his outbursts all the more enjoyable.
Getting to know this darker tormented side of Magnus I honestly wasnât prepared for that the way he loved carelessly and and with all his being no matter how many times his heart was broken and mended in all kinds of ways he honestly broke my heart especially his interaction with Raphael Santiago and the fact that Raphael kept texting Ragnor Fell i mean you whyyy why break our hearts like that. Honestly every interaction with our beloved characters and seeing how much theyâve grown from when Magnus and Alec met them is really heartwarming and that scene when Tessa was waiting for them in their apartment was the best thing that happened to me.
I need more of these books I really do and I canât believe weâre gonna have to wait for a year for the next book to come out but i guess we will have Ghosts of The Shadow Market and The Last Hours keeping us occupied but honestly i have no idea how Iâm gonna get through them with my heart intact.
âTime was something that moved in fits and starts for Magnus, dissipating like mist or like chains, but when Alec was there, Magnusâs time seemed to fall into an easy rhythm with Alecâs, like two heartbeats falling into sync.â
