'Shadows of Gold' part 8 sneak peek
A whimper broke out of Madzie. âBut⊠You were supposed to live with us forever.â
Alec bit back a whimper of his own. Those words cut deep and hard as he reached out a hand. âIâm sorryâŠâ
âNO!â Madzie jumped away, her moist eyes blazing. âYouâre leaving. Everyone leaves. I donât want to talk to you anymore.â
UPDATED: Malec exclusive photos from 2x19Â **
what does it mean when magnus said more of a flower or cologne man?
That kind of has a double meaning. It could either be whether Alec preferred flowers or cologne as a gif, or it could also be taken as whether Alec prefers girls (flowers) or guys (cologne).Â
[Fic] Heâs Safe
Jace and Alec were business partners, so why did it seem Alec had taken on the worst of their business to lead to something like this?
A prequel for @thehemingwaygoldfish âs mundane AU fic Beating Heart.
âAlec! Lunch time! You canât fool your body into photosyn- Alec!â Jace ran over to his brother, lying on the ground, and deathly pale. His eyes were open, but from the way they were rolled into his head, he couldnât see anything. âAlec!â Jace continued to shout, frantic now. What had happened? How long had Alec been like this? Jaceâs hands flopped frantically around, unsure if he was supposed to do something, but terrified of doing anything wrong. âAlec! Alec wake up! Alec!â

A useful thing to know about AO3 tags is that they're wrangled by humans. A human being will read your tag, understand what it means*, and then connect that tag in the backend system to other tags that mean the same thing (if there are any)
that's why, for example, the tags
not beta read
no beta
no beta we die like men
no beta we die like mne
no beta we die like [insert character who dies in canon]
unbetad
unbeta'd
unbeta-d
un-beta'd
and a million more versions are all searchable and filterable if you just tag one of them. A Tag Wrangler (the job title of a human volunteer who manages AO3 tags) has made sure that AO3 understands that those are all synonyms, so AO3 treats them that way.
When you're tagging your fic, or searching for a fic, or filtering a tag to find or remove works from the list you do not have to use every possible version of a tag. You just need to pick one - unless using more is a stylistic choice you're making, in which case have at it.
*or research what it means - which is why wranglers really appreciate it if you put (OC) behind the name of your original characters so that they don't have to scour every source they can find to see if it's a named background character in canon.
There is also a nesting parent/child system, so if you just exclude from your search the canonical tag 'Homophobia', not only will it exclude all variations of it like 'homohpobia' or 'contains some homophobia', but it will also exclude all subtags such as 'Internalised Homophobia' or 'Homophobic [character]'.
Which means that if you're tagging for eg '[Character]'s Family Is Homophobic', you can just tag that and be done! No need to also tag 'Homophobia', 'Parental Homophobia' and 'Homophobic Family'.
AO3's tagging system is genuinely what libraries dream of.
Since someone asked how to see the meta and subtags, let's look at an example:
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
This is what we call the tag landing page. You can reach it when you're in the tag by clicking the link at the top of the page, e.g. where it says
1 - 20 of 1,885 Works in Centaurs
the underlined 'Centaurs' is a link to that tag's page.
The first thing you see is the Parent tags. This is, in general, what fandom a tag is stored in. For a tag like Centaurs, which can apply to many different fandoms, that is "No Fandom".
Then we see "Tags with the same meaning". These are synonyms/syns of the tag in question. If you tag your work with "she's a centaur", it will be made a synonym of Centaurs and appear under that tag.
Then there are Metatags. In this case, Mythical Beings & Creatures. A centaur is a type of mythical being, so it's a subtag of that tag.
Then there are Subtags. These are tags that are more specific - mostly specific characters as centaurs, in this case. If you choose to exclude the Centaurs tag from your search, you'll also be excluding Centaur Castiel automatically.
All of these are links - you can use them to navigate up and down the tree, so to speak, for instance if you want to see what other mythical beings and creatures are included under "mythical beings and creatures," you can click on that to go to that tag's landing page.

'In My Veins' part 6 sneak peek
âNone of this is fair. Iâm so sorry that this is all happening to youâ, Izzy whispered, as though worried that she might wake up her brother. âBut Iâm glad youâre here right now. Alec... He needs you.â
âIâm not the one who made the decision to give upâ, Magnus huffed more bitterly than heâd intended. âItâs frustratingly often not up to me but... Iâll always belong where he is.â
The Diplomat's Son and the Boy in thr Orchids'Garden
Last chapter is up!
I want to thank my friend and co-writer @imandras for this amazing journey together. For her friendship, her heart, her soul. It's been a treasure and a gift all the while.
"Magnus?" Alec jumped up the stairs, taking two steps at a time. "Magnus?""I'm in here." Magnus stuck his head out of the open door of the original nursery that they had converted into a small studio for Magnus. "What is it?""You have mail." Alec walked over to his boyfriend. "The letter looks important.""How does a letter look important?" asked Magnus in a slightly amused tone.Alec handed him the envelope.

The Diplomat's Son and The Boy in the Orchid's Garden
Chapter 24 is up! And we're almost at the end of the journey... As always, thank you for everything, @imandras
Magnus stretched out on the seat and pressed himself further into the crook of Alec's neck, repositioning himself on the seat.
"Hey," he heard Alec whisper uncertainly.
The sound Magnus gave him back was something between a whimper and a grunt and all Alec could do was lean down and kiss him on the forehead.
Magnus smiled tenderly in his half-asleep state, somehow still in disbelief that he could finally have this. It was as if finding Alec by his side every time he opened his eyes was a miracle that renewed itself every day.

Malec Drabble Alphabet - M
M - Magnus
Magnus Bane. It was a name that inspired both fear and awe in equal measure. It was also a name that was almost universally known amongst all the varying species of the Shadow World. Magnus Bane: one of the most powerful warlocks of their time, a well-known lothario and party boy⊠and also a complete enigma to most. He seemed to have allies and foes on every continent, though none appeared to know anything but the basic details about him; his true age still remained a frustrating mystery. The warlock also seemed to be able to procure anything for anyone, at the right price of course. His magic was known to be stronger than the everyday warlock, capable of making what should be impossible happen. He was a modern legend, immortal and untouchable.
To Alec, the name Magnus Bane meant something else completely. It was a name that brought comfort and, dare he say it, love. He knew very well that Magnus was a person like any other, full of beautiful contradictions and uncertain truths. He knew of the man beneath the legend. He knew of his little nuances; the way he used humor to deflect and disarm, the way he used clothes and makeup as armor, the difference between his placating smirks and his genuine smiles. He knew all about Magnusâ insecurities that he hid behind boisterous confidence, and he knew all about the dark past heâd escaped.
Alec knew everything about Magnus Bane, and yet he was learning more everyday. And, Angel, he loved everything about him too.
Love. Alec was in love. He could hardly believe it himself.
Oh Alec had people he loved, his siblings being at the top of that list⊠but being in love was an entirely new feeling for him. He didnât realize how beautiful and yet painful it could be. It felt as if his heart would beat right of his chest every time he was with Magnus. Wonderful, gorgeous Magnus. Magnus who was legendary for his hedonism and even his brutality and yet was most understanding, generous person he had ever known.
Alec wished he could tell the warlock how much he meant to him. But the words always got caught in his throat, dying on his tongue before he could get them out. Maybe he was afraid of rejection, irrational though it was⊠or maybe he felt he wasnât worthy of loving Magnus. Or maybe he just was bad at love. Honestly, it amazed him that the other man had stayed with him for as long as he had. Alec was constantly grateful for the warlockâs patience with him.
âWhat about love?â Magnus had once asked him.
I love you, the shadowhunter thought now, looking at the man lying beside him. He swallowed thickly, unable to tear his eyes away from Magnusâ resting face. His hair was a mess; dark locks falling into his eyes. The makeup heâd been wearing earlier long wiped off, leaving only smooth, bare skin. He was lying on his stomach, arms curled around a pillow, eyes slowly drifting closed. Angel, heâs so beautiful, Alec couldnât help but think, dumbfounded.
How do I deserve this?
âAlexander, I can feel you brooding,â Magnus huffed fondly, interrupting the shadowhunterâs spiralling thoughts. âItâs much too late for brooding.â
âHowâd you know Iâm brooding?â he asked, brow furrowing. âMaybe Iâm just strategizing for tomorrowâs mission.â Yeah, my mission to finally say it. Honestly, itâs just three words. Stop being pathetic. You say them to Izzy all the time.
But this⊠this is different. More important somehow.
âItâs also far too late to be strategizing, darling,â Magnus said softly, opening his sleepy eyes. He reached over and gently touched his thumb to the wrinkle in Alecâs brow, smoothing it away. Alecâs throat tightened at the action, his heart stuttering. Câmon. Just say it. âSleep. You can be your big, strong shadowhunter self tomorrow. Right now I just need my Alexander to close his admittedly gorgeous eyes and get some rest. Wouldnât want him to get injured on that all important mission tomorrow.â
He flushed a bit at the compliment, heart picking up speed. âAre we talking in third person now?â he asked dryly. He was rewarded with an amused smile, Magnusâ eyes sparkling. Nowâs your chance. Just say it. âMagnus, Iââ the other man looked at him drowsily, waiting for him to finish. Just. Say. It. âI- I wonât get injured,â he finally mumbled, looking away.
Idiot.
Magnus laughed a bit, the sound as painfully beautiful as the rest of him. âI hope not. I donât particularly like having to fix you up when youâre all bloody. But I thank you for the reassurance. Now less talking, more cuddling; I want to sleep.â The warlock promptly took one of Alecâs arms and pulled it over himself, rolling onto his side to accommodate the new position.
Alec sighed, feeling like a failure, but settled gladly around the other man, their bodies pressed flush together. Spooning, another new concept to Alec, though one he apparently sucked less at. I just canât say things, he thought sulkily. But he gave into his to desire to hold Magnus a bit tighter in an attempt to calm himself, pressing his nose into the back of his neck, nuzzling.
The warlock sighed contentedly at that and was soon sleeping peacefully. Alec, on the other hand, was still very much awake⊠And in the comforting darkness of the bedroom, with the only sound breaking the stillness the steady puff of Magnusâ breath, he finally allowed himself to say what heâd wanted to say the entire time.
âI love you,â he whispered against Magnusâ skin. I love you so much. Thank you for letting me love you.
Tomorrow, he then decided. Tomorrow he would say it for real.
He didnât get to see Magnusâ answering smile from where he lay in Alecâs arms, the warlock having heard the entire thing. But that was ok, because he would realize what happened in the morning, when Magnus would roll over and catch his face steadily in his hands, the words spilling out breathlessly.Â
âI love you too, Alexander,â Magnus would say for the first time.
But certainly not for the last.

Magnus Bane + outfits
4. Glitter & Gold Though Magnus couldnât resist color-coordinating his hair with his outfit and adding shimmering gold eyeliner to match, itâs still his most casual and relaxed look yet, suggesting he may have been hoping to put Alec at ease for their first date.
#iâm sorry but there is nothing about this look that is relaxing or capable of putting a red-blooded man at ease#look at the neckline on that thing. magnus got his tits out almost down to the navel. with all those beautiful necklaces that only#serve to enhance the glamorous picture.#every time he bends down or shifts - alec can see his man cleavage.#i bet he could see nipple if he looked really hard#thereâs no way alec hasnât jacked off at least thrice to the memory of this outfit thinking about how he wishes he could#rip that flimsy silky material to shreds and press a line of kisses down magnusâ sternum and further down below.#wishing heâd been a little braver when he stayed over and instead of falling asleep snoring on magnusâ couch#had maybe touched one of those necklaces to test their weight or brushed magnusâ pretty hair from his forehead or touched#one of those sleeves to see if it was soft and pretty as it looked.#BYE
Hacker Alec exposes bad cops and fanboys about officer Bane
Mundane AU where Alec is a hacker and hacks into all the cameras he wants to expose bad cops (cctv, body cams, dashboard cams, etc) and uploads regularly on Youtube. However, sometimes he wants to spread some positivity as well. And on those days, he makes compilation videos of all the files (and there are many đ) he has of officer Magnus Bane. Because there is so much footage of Magnus giving money to the homeless, helping those who need assistence to cross the street, running down a car where the driver was trying to kidnap a kid, jumping into a river to fish out a puppy that couldn't swim against the current, etc. And yes, sure, there are some other good cops he sprinkles in at times. But Magnus is the best and his viewers need to know.
MAGNUS WEEK - WARLOCK SQUAD
The Diplomat's Son and The Boy in the Orchids' Garden
Chapter 2 is up!!!
@imandras I wanted yo thank you, especially in this time of pain, for finding the time and the will to work with me on this update.
Alec handed the room's keys to Magnus as he took both of the luggage in his hands, gesturing to his soulmate toward the elevators.
When the sliding doors closed behind them, Alec dropped the baggage and took Magnusâ face between his palms, gently stroking his thumbs over Magnusâ cheekbones, staring at him in silence, as if he were entranced, marveling at the miracle of having him back in his arms.
âI canât believe I found you,â he eventually whispered, bending a little to press his lips on Magnusâ, as they both smiled into the chaste kiss.
The lady at the reception had told them they had to climb a flight of stairs to get to the room. Alec moved to pick up the bags again, but Magnus shook his head.
âI will bring mine up.â
Alec thought about saying something, but then just nodded, too happy to have him right by his side.
They took the steps slowly, smiling at each other and stopping to share brief kisses on their way.
âWe need to call home, both of us,â Magnus said as he stood in front of the door.
Alec sighed, âTomorrow we will. But today, tonight is only for ourselves. I think weâve earned it.â
Magnus chuckled, âWell, thatâs an understatement, Alexander.â
Alec coked his head on the left, smiling, âI love your British accent.â

Ok so @mortalspork is writing an amazing malec fic and I couldnât help but draw fanart for it. Sheâs about halfway through, so expect more art when it comes out (since I donât want to spoil too much of it ;D) UPDATE: Chapter one of Marijkeâs fic is now up! Hereâs a link to go read it!
Our Forsaken Sins, ch 6/8
Chapter Summary: In which Magnus searches for answers, Alec suffers the consequences, and Asmodeus meets his match.
Fic Summary:
âI had to,â Alec insists. âI know I hurt him. By the Angel, I know, and I hate it, but I had to. He was so broken, I had to do something, I had to fix it. And I canât tell him about the deal, because that was part of it. That was one of the conditions. Magnus canât know.â
âNo.â The look Catarina gives him makes Alecâs chest tighten in fear. âAlec, Magnus doesnât have any memories of you anymore. He has no idea who you are.â
***
In which Magnus removes his memories of Alec, Alec swallows the pain of Magnusâ obliviousness to their shared past, and the devil is in the details (literally).
(AKA the canon-divergent 3x19 rewrite, because it disappointed me.)

Hey, y'all!
Here's a portrait of our favorite pretty archer boy I made as a gift for my lovely friend, Lori!
With this piece, I feel like I'm really starting to understand digital art now. And I'm getting much better at drawing people, too. And the whole process is going faster as well. I used watercolor brushes to color this piece, which was uhhhh... a choice đ€Ł But at least with digital, there are layers, erasers, and undo buttons, so it's infinitely easier for me to do digital watercolor as opposed to physical.
Let me know what you think! đđ€
