Summary
There was a pause, and for a second, Magnus assumed that the network had dropped.
“Alexander,” Magnus asked. “Are you still there?”
“Yeah, um…I’m here, Magnus. I have some news, actually,” Alec sounded nervous.
“Alexander, what’s going on?” Magnus asked worriedly.
“I..I met someone,” Alec breathed out, eager to let it all out in one go, “We were out on a date earlier. Magnus, I...I think this could be it for me.”

Summary
When Magnus Bane walks into Alec’s third grade classroom, a scowl printed on his face and a permanent chip on his shoulder, Alec has no idea that, one day, this scrawny smart-ass will mean the world to him.
He has even less idea that he’ll mean just as much to Magnus.
In which Magnus and Alec are destined for each other, everyone around them can see it, and sometimes, love is found in the most unexpected places.
(Childhood best friends to lovers AU, set over fifteen years.)

Unexpected Family (or How Madzie Became a Matchmaker) by m0_0nlight
Fandoms: The Mortal Instruments Series - Cassandra Clare, Shadowhunters (TV)
09 Jun 2020
Tags
Summary
When Magnus found out a shadowhunter, of all things, was taking care of a warlock child, well, to say he was shocked would be an extreme understatement.
Centuries of experience with shadowhunters had taught him that they were not to be trusted. They were cruel, and had killed many of his kind simply for existing. The other thing that scared Magnus was that the shadowhunter was a Lightwood, and of all the shadowhunter famillies he'd met, the Lightwoods were by far one of the worse.-
Or: Author wanted a cute single dad Alec fic where he adopts Madzie and Magnus sees them together and falls in love with Alec because he's a single shadowhunter parent to a warlock child.

Summary
“You know he gets like that during the holidays,” dad said gently.
“Like a cunt?” Max looked up.
“Your words. Not mine,” dad managed a smile.
“I don’t know why you keep doing it,” Max said after a while.
“Doing what?”
“Defending me.”
“Well. I’m a defense attorney,” dad smiled. “It’s what I do.”
“Dad-”
“I know what it feels like to think your whole family is against you,” dad said quietly.
“Are you all against me?” Max asked in a small voice.
“We are always on your side, Max,” dad whispered. “But sometimes you make us wonder why.”
A pinch of morality crisis, a dash of domestic angst, and two tablespoons of love.

Summary
Over the past decade things have changed between the Shadow and Down Worlds. Accords and Treaties have been signed and history was made. Of course not all were happy with this outcome.

Summary
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?

Summary
Alec presses the small burner phone against his ear to block out the noise and looks cautiously over his shoulder, there is no one there except the family he just passed. He keeps looking though every now and then to make sure no one is following him. He has to stay vigilant, every move has to be carefully planned as to not get caught. It’s worth it though, these phone calls are the highlight of his week.
“Why did you do it?”
“Do what?” Alec asks in a confused tone to which Magnus responds with a light chuckle. Their last topic had been strategy and secret hangouts.
“Why did you decide to help us?” Magnus clarifies, sounding genuinely curious.
Alec swallows thickly and takes some time to think over his answer. He’s been afraid of this question ever since they first started working together, and to be honest, he’s rather surprised it’s taken Magnus this long to ask. A shadowhunter helping a downworlder is the worst form of treason as far as the Clave is concerned, so he understands the question he really does. It’s just hard, there are so many memories he would rather forget, but he reckons he owes Magnus an answer, or at least a try at one.
