“tell me what you need me to do” “then talk to me” “whatever you need” “i’m not gonna leave until you talk to me” “i’m here with you every step of the way” “just let me be here with you”
something something alec always functioning under the mindset of being and doing what other people need from him and somewhere along the way, grasping that what his loved ones usually need most is just for him to be there and not go away. sometimes even when they beg him to because they’re having a spicy little self-destructive moment. alec being tangible and real, stalwart and true, and so lovably stubbornly impossibly PRESENT. a fact that is only erred by tragic circumstance. “i’m never leaving you again.”

prompt 🥺

Alec’c all over him, his limbs flailing, feeling heavier than ever under the influence of alcohol. Magnus finds it hard to carry him but it’s Alec, Alec who can suddenly be 7000 pounds heavier and Magnus still would carry him from the club to their shared apartment.
“You are so drunk, I am never letting you live this down,” Magnus chuckles.
Alec giggles, and lord if it isn’t the most beautiful sound Magnus has heard. He nuzzles his face against Magnus’s neck, giggling and smiling, and so what if Magnus might not survive the night? So what if this is how he dies? It’s a small price to pay to have Alexander Gideon Lightwood this close to him.
“I can’t believe Jace did that,” Alec says between a fit of laughter.
Magnus shakes his head in affection. “Jace did what Jace always does. But have you forgotten what you just did? You got drunk drunk and gave me a lap dance,” he murmurs.
Alec laughs, “I had to. That man was being an asshole to you.”
Magnus still can’t believe what happened tonight.
He somehow gets the two of them inside the apartment and locks the door.
“I’m pretty sure that that could’ve gone a hundred different ways.”
Alec stops in his track at the words. He straightens up, suddenly all laughter leaving his body and a serious look appears on his face.
“That jerk was calling you names for looking all pretty.”
“So you thought giving me a lap dance would be the best way to shut him up?”
Alec shakes his head frantically. “Yes. Yes I did. That made him so uncomfortable.”
Magnus’s heart warms at the idiot.
“I’ve been called names a hundred times my dear. I know how to giving it back to those assholes.”
Alec wraps both his hands around Magnus’s right arm and lays his head on his shoulder. “I know. But you don’t always have to do it alone.”
He doesn’t have an answer to that so he doesn’t. He’s been fighting alone for so long that the idea that someone else could ever stand up for him is still a little surreal.
It’s not an unwelcoming feeling though.
Magnus liked being protected today.
“You didn’t like it?” Alec pouts suddenly and Magnus wants—no, needs Alec to stop doing all these things with his face. Looking all giggly and soft and beautiful. Magnus needs Alec to stop being so Alec.
Magnus shakes his head, the memory of the lap dance still not leaving his mind. He thinks it might never leave him. The way Alec moved, the way his body felt against Magnus’s.
“That was the best lap dance I’ve ever received,” he replies, not knowing what else he can say.
He doesn’t know how to put it in words.
When you touched me, it felt like every single cell in my body came to life. It felt like I had been sleeping for years and the softest touch of love and want woke me. Saved me.
There’s no platonic way to put something like this across.
“Okay, it’s time to sleep now.”
The second Magnus says this, Alec releases himself from Magnus’s hold and lies on the floor, his limb stretched.
“What are you doing?”
“Sleeping.”
“Not on the floor, you dummy. In your room. On the bed,” Magnus says exasperatedly.
“No. I’m sleeping here tonight.”
“Alexander,” he sighs. “Your back’s going to hurt like a bitch tomorrow.”
Alec gives a beaming smile at that. He suddenly sits up, takes Magnus’s hand in his and pulls him to the floor on top of him. “Come on. You should sleep on the floor with me too.”
Magnus yelps as he falls on top of Alec by the movement.
“Alec, you big, giant, moron.”
Alec chuckles at him; bringing his arms around Magnus’s.
“Floor nice,” he slurs, voice getting drowsier now.
Magnus shifts slightly, so he’s lying next to Alec now—on the floor.
He tilts his head towards the man. There’s the biggest smile on his face, as he hums some song, tracing a random pattern on the sleeve of magnus’s shirt.
He seems so content.
Magnus wants to be this content too. It feels he’s never been content. He has felt happiness, sadness, pain, exhilaration and everything before and after. But Magnus has never felt just content.
“Are we really going to sleep on the floor tonight?” He asks, missing his comfortable mattress.
Sue him, he’s a fancy bitch and can’t sleep on a mattresses that doesn’t feel like he’s lying on a soft cloud.
Alec turns beaming and puts his head on Magnus’s chest.
“Yep,” he says, popping the ‘p’.
Magnus thinks that there could be fates far worse than sleeping cuddled up to Alec.
he wakes up a few hours later, his body hurting like a bitch due to sleeping on the floor. He curses Alec for his stupid idea but then he looks down to find the man still sleeping on his chest, his arm around his stomach holding him tightly and suddenly, his body doesn’t hurt anymore.
But enough is enough so he finally pushes himself up from the floor, extracting himself from Alec carefully, so as not to wake him.
He considers leaving Alec on the floor but doesn’t. He bends down, his back cracking and he picks Alec up.
Magnus somehow manages to not throw him somewhere on the way and he places Alec on his bed. He turns to leave the room when Alec’s hand on his arm stops him.
“Stay.”
Magnus breathes as he sits down next to Alec. Even with all the bed head, he looks gorgeous. He raises his hand to brush the hair away from his face.
He’s never been more in love and his heart hurts. But he can never tell Alec because Magnus can’t risk telling Alec and him not returning the feelings. To lose Alec to his feelings, he doesn’t think he’ll survive that.
Maybe his purpose in life is just to love Alec from afar. It doesn’t seem like a bad purpose. It seems like the easiest thing in the world.
“I love you,” he whispers, caressing Alec’s face gently. “I love you. I love you,” he says, feeling the taste of the words in his mouth. “I do not know about you but it does feel like I’m made to love you Alec Lightwood.”
Alec doesn’t say it back like Magnus expected.
The fact that Alec is sleeping which is probably why he doesn’t say anything back isn’t important. Magnus feels like being dramatic.
He bends down again, and kisses Alec’s forehead softly.
And leaves.
WOAH THIS IS AMAZING

lol imagine how sad it would be if alec (knowing magnus is going to live longer than him) makes magnus and him take a picture together pretty much everyday so that after he dies magnus will never be able to forget him. lol imagine if he records everytime he and magnus burst into a fit of laughter, imagine he records magnus blasting music while cursing at his eyeliner because the wing isnt sharp enough, imagine he writes down a description of every date they go on, makes clary draw landscapes of every pretty waterfall they saw. imagine alec obsesses everyday of documenting his and magnus’ life and refuses to explain why anytime magnus asks. until one day, years after alecs death, magnus finds a box labeled “open after everything.” he opens it, not knowing what to expect, and finds an album of every time they cuddled, every smile magnus gave alec, a zoom in of their eyes- so magnus could never forget the exact shade of blue, and the way they lit up around him. he finds videos of laughter, training, morning, every mundane task done, every mundane task that was done together. and magnus just looks, looks at everything, and breaks down. he breaks down, because this box is proof that alec believed that there would be a time that magnus needed this in order to remember him, and deep, deep down, magnus knew alec was right. he couldn’t remember the shade of blue his eyes were, or exactly how much taller magnus was, or the sound of their laughter harmonizing perfectly together. lol imagine how sad that would be.

Congrats on the move being over!! I just did that in the fall and it is so miserable. Hopefully y'all are safe and sound and can get to the fun stuff like decorating. For prompts, what about Magnus noticing that Alec clearly has a competence kink and is always trying to jump him after he does anything that Alec deems impressive, a lot of which are things Magnus rarely gets complimented for. Everything from little things like making some basic (for Magnus) potions, or pulling off a complicated ritual, or putting someone in their place.
Thank you!! ooof yeah it really is. it's been a bit f a mess too cause i'm unpacking for multiple people (they physically cant) and so it's slow going lol and my focus is just being done tbh. but we are all safe and honestly it was good timing with how bad the heat got around here. we wuld have been really screwed at the last place.
i hope you enjoy this!

It’s impossible for Magnus not to notice Alexander interest. He gives himself away so easily, never truly trying to hide his curiosity or the delight that watching Magnus inspires in him.
Alexander acts as if even the simplest of tasks are impressive.
He’s full of delighted pleasure when Magnus explains making his own shampoo and the next morning when they slip into bed, he murmurs his awe against Magnus’ jaw. Such a simple thing, and yet it impresses Magnus’ darling so very much.
Alexander’s pleasure sends thrills down Magnus’ spine and it coils in his gut and his magic.
Sometimes when Magnus is studying and dissecting a ritual — cannibalizing it for ease of use or just because he can — Alexander will press fervent kisses to his jaw when checking in on him. They are never distracting, but they do linger with heat and Alexander always murmurs such delightful things before he leaves Magnus to his work. It’s enough that Magnus is nearly always tempted to follow — and sometimes through no fault of his own, Alexander sways him — before he gets a hold of himself.

September 12th, 2021- Happy 32nd birthday Alec Lightwood!
“Alec, with his heartbreaking contradictions, shy and brave, relentless and tender. Alec’s midnight-blue eyes, and the look on his face when they had their first kiss. And their last.”
- Happy birthday to my favorite character since I was 12 years old. Thank you for allowing me to grow up with you and thank you for taking me on a journey of self-love and acceptance. I have no words to describe how happy you make me.

“Lorenzo Rey says that you purposefully and maliciously attacked him. Lowering the defenses of his wards and allowing for magical attacks.” Valois looks both exasperated and tired and Magnus would love to be responsible for both of those things but he’s not.
“Do you really think I’d waste my magic on something like that?” Magnus asks, truly curious because even as powerful as he is, something like that would truly be a waste. “Though I have to wonder why Rey is so upset, unless he was doing something he shouldn’t have been. I wasn’t even aware he was moving permanently to Brooklyn.”
It’s a social misstep and Rey splutters before his face twists into a stubborn grimace.
“You did something to me! You and that strange lizard you’re always carrying around.”
“How do you know about that?” Magnus asks, suddenly no longer feeling generous and his magic flaring, roiling about him angrily.
Magnus is about to say something else when he feels the first warnings of frost as the hall darkens and the temperature drops.
“I’m afraid you seem to have upset my guest.” Magnus murmurs and he steps back, curious as to how Alexander is planning on dealing with this. From what he’s seen, his dragon prefers subtlety and while Magnus enjoys a good show, he’d never begrudge Alexander doing whatever he preferred.
That’s the plan, at least until the very building begins to shake apart and one of the Elder’s curses as they fail to hold the integrity of the building together. Magnus is curious as he lets himself be guided towards Alexander.
Alexander who was in the waiting hall when Magnus’ magic had spiked in irritation.
Alexander who is currently shifting larger and larger, slowly almost as if it’s a very careful threat.
“Darling, did you curse a warlock on my behalf?” Magnus asks, trying to bring levity into the situation and he blinks for a moment, staring up at the full moon in wonder and questioning if he’d hit his head.
Because strangely enough, he’s seeing double and it's the night of a new moon, not the full ones he's seeing.
Then the twin moons disappear as Alexander blinks and then his enormous head slowly shifts so that his chin is protecting Magnus from debris. It’s as if Magnus has suddenly climbed in a large, protected cave and he leans against cool scales and pets them with magic appreciatively.
There’s a loud thump as Alexander trills, tail thwacking the building without a care and Magnus is feeling petty enough that he doesn’t mention his dragon’s lack of awareness. Alexander ginormous size explains why he’s so careful and delicate, keeping himself small in Magnus’ loft.
“Aren’t you magnificent.” Magnus admires and despite his sincerity, Alexander makes a noise that sounds amused.
“I’m only half my actual size.” Alexander rumbles, voice shaking the earth like a volcano ready to explode. “You said this place was a safe haven, I didn’t want to destroy it completely.”
Magnus coos and presses a kiss to Alexander’s giant muzzle and he pats the scales there and a moment later, he has a pleased Alexander trilling into his caresses.
That’s the scene Rey and Valois and half the Elder’s find them in, Magnus with his hands full of the gentle, giant muzzle of a very irritated dragon as it nuzzles him adoringly.

hello! this for wensday prompt. Can you write some power imbalance like in your "saints & sinners", I really liked it.
have a good day :)
i have had a very good day, thank you! and i very much enjoyed writing this prompt and using @alxndrlightwoods dominion magic.
also for those who don't know it, i took the idea of Magnus' blood from Luo Binghe in SVSS. this is the explanation for it
Heavenly Demon Blood - When the blood of a Heavenly Demon is consumed, the consumer is unable to resist the will of the bloods owner. it can track the consumers location, manipulate their limbs, heal their wounds, and torture them
i hope you enjoy!

Alec’s never been as nervous as he is in this moment when he’s about to become a Commander. And it’s not because he’s about to be responsible for an entire Institute of lethal living weapons and an adamas filled armory.
It’s because he’s about to be anointed to his position by the King of the East Coast whom Alec has only ever seen from a distance. There’s a terrifying thrill running through Alec because he knows his history and he understands that he’s about to be weighed and judged by the only man who will have more power over him than even the clave.
Once Alec says his vows — the first ever of their kind, here in Bane’s territory — he’ll become Bane’s first and the claves second.
When the Uprising started, it was the downworlders who suffered the most and the nephilim who benefited from Valentine’s focus on them. It was only when the Circle truly turned against the clave that the downworlders and nephilim got together to form new accords and treaties between them.
Only to be attacked, all of them, by the Circle.
Alec knows because his mother and father, traitors who had been pardoned, were there as a part of the treaties. It’s only the fact that Maryse put herself and her pregnant body between Imogen and Valentine’s blade - losing her babe and her ability to have more children - that affords Alec the chance to become not only a ranked commander, but Head of the Institute as well.
The downworlders, chief among them the kings across the world. All who had gathered for the first time in centuries, were furious that the meeting had been betrayed devastated by how many had died. After that, with so many dead and in the middle of negotiations, the clave had for the first time, backed down and conceded to the changes demanded by the downworld.
