Summary
Over the last decade, the Clave has imposed increasingly more stringent restrictions on Shadowhunter-Downworld relations. When a spike in demon activity suggests a greater demon is on the loose in New York weeks before Christmas, Alec seeks the help of the High Warlock of Brooklyn, Magnus Bane. Isabelle is delighted. Jace thinks he’s lost his mind.
But he’s having visions that he can’t explain, and they have one thing in common: they all feature Magnus.
***
In which Clave-Downworld relations have soured (to say the least), Christmas is the backdrop to a demon’s reign of terror, and Alec can’t get Magnus out of his head. Literally.

Summary
The door opens. Alec tenses, and his body throbs.
A man steps through, and Alec curls his fingers into his palms, terror pulsing through him. Because the man isn't a man. He's a warlock. A demon. The same person he felt crouching over him when he fell.Why is he here? What has the warlock done to him?
"Well well, little angel. You're awake."
***
Alec has been told the same stories all his life. He's been taught the same lines, over and over again. Downworlders are reckless, impulsive, demonic. They're not to be trusted.
And Magnus Bane is the epitome of everything evil about Downworlders.
At least, that's what people keep telling him. Alec's not quite so sure anymore.
Or: In which the Nephilim have wings, are taught to loathe Downworlders, and Alec is presented with a conundrum when Magnus Bane saves his life.

Summary

Dating someone from an entirely contrasting world is never easy, however, and negotiating the ups and downs of their relationship is certainly never going to get dull.

Summary
LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
1971 - 1995This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!
PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

Summary
The Lightwoods have been on the road hunting since their parents and youngest brother died in a mysterious house fire — a fire started by a man with yellow-green eyes, like a cat's. They stumbled upon this world of ghosts, ghouls and things that go bump in the night by accident, and so now they hunt these things, so that other people won't have to face the anguish of seeing their loved ones die. And above all, they hunt the thing that started the fire, the thing that tore their family apart. They've been on the road for a year now, but they've finally got a name for the monster — the Prince of Hell, Magnus Bane.
What Izzy and Jace don't know, of course, is how Alec got hold of that name.
