***I canât believe there are still 4(!) months left until the show and more importantly until Malec is back. Honestly, who tf thought that bringing the show back in April was a good idea? I just wanna talk. Especially when seeing all these spoilers and teasers. This is really not helping here!
At least we still have Malec fanfics left to keep us entertained. And with Christmas and the holidays right around the corner, there is time to get invested in some new and amazing fics, am I right? So snuggle yourself into a fluffy and warm blanket, drink some hot chocolate and tea and see these two idiots fall in love over and over and over again.
As always, I hope youâre gonna enjoy this fic rec. The 6th one already, can you believe? I am still so overwhelmed when looking at the notes from the last one. You guys are amazing! Thank you so so much. But now, have fun reading!***

DEEPER THAN THE TRUTH by @insiemes [ M | AU | 150k | complete ]
Alec Lightwood is a world-famous author, though the world knows him only under his pseud: Gideon Archer. Magnus Bane is a fashion designer who just happens to be a big fan of Gideonâs work.
THE WAY IT SHOULD BE by @m-aleciseverything [ T | AU | 53.6k | complete ]
Alec Lightwood had his life figured out: a job that he was passionate about, a beautiful boyfriend who loved him, and friends and family surrounding him.
Everything was perfect or should have been perfect, if it werenât for the nagging feeling that something in his life was missing. And how was he supposed to go on with his life after he met Magnus Bane and suddenly that feeling was gone?
ADDICTED TO YOU by @imawriteriwrite [ E | AU | 78.7k | complete | Fuck Buddies AU #1 ]
Magnus Baneâs the head of his own company. Alec Lightwood is in his last year of law school. Theyâve never met but have one thing in common: neither does relationships. Just one night stands. That is until they find themselves matched on a hookup app and suddenly one night is not enough.
Also known as the one where Magnus and Alec meet and think they can have no strings attached sex and not develop feelings.
STAY HERE FOREVER by @imawriteriwrite [ M | AU | 11.9k | complete | Fuck Buddies AU #2 ]
A year before, they didnât even know each other. Then there was this hookup app, and months where they thought they could be âjust fuck buddiesâ. Things went downhill. Things went uphill.
Now, itâs been months since Magnus Bane (head of Bane Co.) and Alec Lightwood (kind of officially a lawyer) finally figured their shit out and started a healthy relationship. Now itâs Valentineâs Day and their relationship is put in danger as they compete to out romance each other.
THE BRIGHTEST SHADE OF THE SUN by @theonetruenorth [ E | 3k | complete ]
Magnus leaned over him and brushed his lips down Alecâs spine, a feather-light caress that told Alec much more than words ever could. He breathed against the warm skin, pressing kisses over a couple chosen spots; a beauty mark, an old scar, the looping end of a black rune. Alec laughed when he hit a particularly ticklish spot over his ribs. Magnus ran his hand over the back of Alecâs thigh and hummed approvingly when Alec spread his legs a little more, exposing himself.
ITâS A YES FROM ME by @ketzwrites [ G | AU | 23.2k | complete ]
Reclusive singer Alec Lightwood has been taking some time away from the spotlight for a few years now. He has lost his inspiration, his reason to keep making music.
That is, until his manager, Luke Garroway, asks him to enter the panel of the ridiculous singing competition The Angelâs Voice. Alec only says yes because that means keeping an eye on Clary and Simon. He hates those fixed, degrading TV shows with a burning passion. Hopefully, Alec figures, heâll get some inspiration back watching new comers try their luck on TV. Some of them are bound to be good.
It isnât until Magnus Bane walks on stage, however, that Alec realizes just how right he is.
INVICTUS by @lecrit [ M | AU | 30.2k | complete ]
âYou should get a tattoo.â
Alec firmly believed in coincidences, in the serendipity that could bring the hazards of life, but even he could admit that sometimes, things seemed to happen for a reason. He was too much of a pragmatic person to truly believe in fate and destiny.
So even when Jace blurted those words at him as he stumbled into his shop, they remained abstract concepts to him, no matter how it nudged at the back of his mind.
ROSES ARE RED, SO IS YOUR FACE by @madzieloss [ not rated | 5k | complete ]
Before Alec could even wonder what that meant, much less ask, Cat re-entered the room and Alec became overtly aware of how red he was as her eyes landed on his face.
And she cooed at him. If anything, he turned even redder. Was she really⌠cooing at him?
Cat laughed. âWell, I must say. Iâve been around for a while, and Iâve never seen a shadowhunter blush before. How adorable.â
(or, five times cat makes alec blush, and one time he gets her back)
CALL YOU HOME by Airuna [ T | AU | 62.2k | complete ]
Alec Lightwood was pretty content with his life, he had a successful job leading a law firm with one of his best friends, a great relationship with his siblings and a perfectly acceptable apartment. He really wasnât looking for anything more but when he finds a little girl waiting all alone in a coffee shop his life will change irremediably and maybe thatâs not such a bad thing after all.
The one in which Alec makes up with his mother, gets a boyfriend and adopts a little girl. Just not necessarily in that order.
ONLY FOREVER by @magnusragnor [ G | AU | 4.7k | complete ]
a love story told through texts, e-mails, and love letters.
LIONHEART by bumblebeesknees [ E | 8.4k | complete ]
Magnusâ bed hasnât felt like his own without Alec in it. His body hasnât felt the same without Alecâs warmth pressed up against it. From the second Alec takes his hand, Magnus doesnât waste any time fixing either of those things. [Coda to 2x20]
THE OPTIMIST IN ME by nygmasneck [ G | 1.4k | complete ]
Days off are rare for them, and Alec intends to make this one last a lifetime.
HOME IS WHEREVER IâM WITH YOU by @softbimagnus [ G | 954 | complete ]
Magnus dropped his hands to Alecâs chest in a gesture so familiar it made Alec ache with how much heâd missed this.
Alec blinked in surprise.
Alec wasnât sure heâd ever get to think of the loft as home again, not since the last time he rolled out of Magnusâ bed before the situation with the soul sword came to light.
BLUE CIRCLE by Hobbit69 [ E | AU | 35.9k | complete | Blue Steel Series #8 ]

A LIFE GIVEN WILLINGLY by @one100suns [ E | AU | 112.1k | complete ]
There isnât much Alec Lightwood wouldnât do for his family. But perhaps he should have said no just this once. Now heâs being targeted by one Sebastian Verlac and forced to seek help from an unlikely source.
Or in which Magnus is a gangster and Alec is in way over his head.
YOUR FULL ATTENTION by @ladymatt [ M | 1.8k | complete ]
Waking up in the arms of his boyfriend, Magnus Bane, was always something to savour for Alec LightwoodâŚ..when he had the time. Unfortunately for them both, on this occasion a Clave meeting prevented a proper âGood Morning!â With an appointment arranged for the 'Headâ of the Institute to shake hands with The High Warlock Of Brooklyn later that day, he should have known Magnus would still make him pay for choosing the Clave over his cock!
IN ANOTHER LIFE by @klynnwordsadhoc [ T | AU | 3.4k | complete | It Started With A Wedding #1 ]
Alec is an ex-Marine Captain, recently returned from overseas to take over his parentâs company, struggling to adjust to life as a civilian once more. Magnus is a fashion designer who has many better things he could do with his weekend. They both attend the same wedding, and theyâre both very pleased about it later.
ODD HOURS by @klynnwordsadhoc [ E | AU | 3.9k | complete | It Started With A Wedding #2 ]
Magnus sighs, âDrill sergeant,â he complains.
Alec laughs. âThatâs Army. Itâs drill instructor in the Marines and I never was one.â
âYou should have been.â
Magnus has a late night at work and Alec worries.
GOOD OUR WHOLE LIVES by @beatperfume [ E | AU | 34.8k | complete ]
They say that prostitution is the worldâs oldest profession, and itâs just as true for the Downworld as the mundane one.
But this is the first time Magnus has ever heard of a nephilim hustling his crowd.
THE WAY I FEEL FOR YOU by @theonetruenorth [ E | 7.3k | complete ]
The drawer was filled with sex toys.
Neatly laid out on a cushy bed of silk lining the drawer. There were a lot of them. Alec immediately felt a little lost as he surveyed the variety of colors and shapes and sizes. There were some that were anatomically-correct but some toys looked weird as heck, and Alec really wasnât sure how one could use them. There were small ones and big ones and holy shit, how did you even fit some of them into your body?!
A pair of arms wrapped around his middle from behind, startling him so much he actually yelped and flailed a little, luckily managing to avoid hitting Magnus in the face with his elbow.
âSee anything you like?â
YOUR WORD IS BUTTHEAD by @lecrit [ G | AU | 3.4k | complete ]
Alecâs kid has a bad tendency of being overly competitive. Which is fine, really, because the apple never falls far from the tree, and Alec is definitely to blame for that.
Or the one where Alecâs and Magnusâ sons compete against each other in a spelling bee contest and theyâre both overly competitive about who is the best.
MAKE A WISH, ALEXANDER by @dont-stop-believin-in-klaine [ M | 1.1k | complete ]
One does not simply not celebrate their birthday while theyâre dating Magnus Bane, the High Warlock of Brooklyn himself. That just wonât do.
MORNINGâS COME, YOU WATCH THE RED SUNRISE by @lightwoodlesbians [ G | AU | 6k | complete | Malec Single Parents AUâs #2 ]

BUT SOME OF US ARE LOOKING AT THE STARSÂ by @lecrit [ G | AU | 4.3k | complete ]
There arenât many things that Alec loves as much as he loves the stars.
Most nights, he just likes to sit on his balcony and watch the eerie darkness drape over the sky and the silver glow of the moon, surrounded by the stars shaping constellations he knows by heart.
This is a special night for him and his son. The only night in the year Alec lets Max stay up after midnight, so they can watch Perseids meteor shower together on the rooftop of their building.
Alec doesnât expect to find out they werenât the only ones to get the idea.
THE RIGHT PRICE by Marie_Tomas [ T | AU | 7k | complete ]
Magnus Bane has worked as a lawyer for several years, taking his job very seriously. The Lightwoods have always been one of his major professional rivals in the city, but this hasnât stopped Magnus from falling in lust, and a little in love, with one particular member of the Lightwood family, Alec Lightwood.
When shy, nervous Alec asks Magnus for his help with representing one of the Lightwoodsâ clients, Magnus makes a joking, flirty comment about what he would expect from Alec in return for a victory in the courtroom. A major misunderstanding happens as a result.
BUCKLE UP by @ketzwrites [ E | AU | 14.8k | complete ]
Alec has been Magnus Baneâs private driver for three years now. They have the perfect relationship; good-hearted, mutually supportive of each other, and frankly amicable. Maybe too amicable, in fact, considering they have been sleeping together for the better part of those three years.
However, when Alec receives a surprise offer for another job, that perfect relationship crumbles. It turns out that, without the anchors of a professional bond between them, Alec and Magnus are left to face something they had refused to think of before: their feelings.
SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL by @magnusragnor [ T | AU | 13.8k | complete ]
âIâm a grown ass man who never learned to swim. Iâd laugh at myself if it wasnât so embarrassing,â Alec replied, shrugging.
âYouâre a grown ass man who never learned to swim and has sucked up his pride to try and do something about it. Thatâs admirable, nothing to be laughed at,â Magnus retorted, finally meeting Alecâs eyes and smiling warmly. âShall we?â he asked, jerking his head towards the pool.
(aka Magnus is a lifeguard at a local pool and Alec doesnât know how to swim)
WHATâS IT GONNA BE? by @lemonoclefox [ M | AU | 49.3k | complete | Whatâs It Gonna Be Series #1 ]
Fairchildâs bakery is a second home to not just Magnus, but also to most of his found-family. As a pastry chef, he works long hours and takes great pride in his craft â so much so that he has little time or attention for much else. Least of all romance. After plenty of experience with heartbreak and disappointment, he has come to expect the worst from anything in that department, and the arrival of the wealthy Lightwoods in the neighborhood isnât about to change that. Especially not when their eldest son might just be the most insufferable prick Magnus has ever met, no matter what anyone else has to say about the guy.
UP IN THE SKY by @ketzwrites [ T | AU | 23.8k | complete ]
When General Imogen of the Shadowhunter Forces is found dead, the country of Alicante is shocked. As he campaigns to come back to the office, Former President Valentine Morgenstern points out the Seelies as responsible for her assassination, calling for a war in response.
Senator Magnus Bane knows war means death to the hundreds of Downworlders who live in the country. He needs to stop Valentine from winning the election, by any means necessary.
However, the Downworlders votes wonât be enough. Magnus needs the Nephilim to vote for him as well. If only he can convince one of the national heroes of the Light Squad to back him up, Magnus just might have a chance to make history and become the first Downworlder President of Alicante.
MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME by @imawriteriwrite [ G | AU | 59.4k | complete ]
Magnus Bane had a plan, a perfect Christmas Eve just like always. Hang out with his friends, bask in the Christmas Spirit. Then everything went wrong.
Now heâs stuck reliving the same day again and again and again. The bright side? Maybe Alec Lightwood isnât as terrible as Magnus always thought.
