like what in particular stands out

I do believe he would give it up for Magnus, but I think he cares more than the show has let it seem. He wants to change the world, mean something, actually make a substantial difference in the fight against demons and fight for justice/equality. 

I don’t like where the show went in the series finale. I’d like to think he stayed in New York and became actual HOTI instead of just Acting Head, Magnus stayed in position of HWOB (and Lawsofchaos’ Consular Warlock Magnus verse is canon to me, so he’s that too). 

If there was a way for Alec to become immortal while still being a shadowhunter, he’d do it instantly. If not, he’d still want to be involved in the politics, which is what strenghtens my belief in him waiting years (maybe decades) until he made it politically possible for himself. That’d make the physical age difference between him and Magnus bigger though, and that would make for another series of insecurities maybe, not only about looks, but also about capabilities. I don’t think Magnus would necessarily care, but maybe Alec would?

Basically:

- Legend difficulty (aka the hardest) - “Ironman” mode, where I’ll save at the beginning of a mission and only roll back if it’s going to be a complete wash (chosen after repeated failures at the first mission, because wow it’s super-hard whether it’s ironman or not) - Only 1/2 of the squad can be the overpowered aliens, might bump down to 1/3. - 1/3 of the squad (rounded up) must be lowest-ranking recruits - Anyone who dies gets a little snippet of text (because the xcom text field for it is tiny) in their epitaph about what happened to them, depends on who nabbed them. Trying to branch out from just vorish bad ends too, but since only 2 have died so far, to grunts, not much cause for writing yet.
