                       „ you and i we both know that drinking on the job isn’t quiet happening, but i will take you on that after the work is done. “ , she teased him with a grin , as she dropped down on the couch and let her eyes roam over magnus. „ also sorry to disturb you.. i just had nowhere else to go and i needed the best.  “

                Magnus shook his head, laughing quietly as he inspected the jewelry. “A water would also qualify, but we shall wait until after.” He waved off her apology and closed his eyes, clutching the chain between his hands as he attempted to track whomever the item belonged to.

“If I fell from heaven, I’d probably be bruised up to hell.” Sighing mentally at the ridiculous response. Lip bite to keep from laughing. “Maybe, I guess if anybody could it would be somebody like you.” Kind of wished was recording the whole thing on his phone. Cause he sure was going to recall the whole story in the morning probably laughing till his ribs hurt. 

            Magnus chuckled, leaning against the stranger’s side for perhaps longer than necessary. He may be an unbalanced drunk, but could one blame him for wanting to cuddle up next to someone so handsome? “Me?” Magnus questioned, blinking owlishly at the man, standing on the stoop of his apartment building, likely looking completely ridiculous. “Are you saying you’d stop being a cop for me?”

   the blonde instinctively took a step back when she saw the flames. she was not afraid of magnus, no, but her… clothes were certainly not a fan of heat– or loud noise, for that matter. nevertheless, she swallowed the lump in her throat and narrowed her eyes. what was the point of lying now? there was no way she was getting herself out of this one. “alright, fine, say i am spider-woman. what do you want, hm? or no– better question: what does shield want with me? i’m not joining the gang, so you can cancel your recruitment speech right now.” gwen dipped back down to pick up her can of gasoline. “and if they’re looking to use me as a guinea pig, well i’m little too busy for that.”

                   Magnus could only grin as Gwen stepped back. Though she was certainly not afraid of him, it was always fun seeing people’s reaction to his power, as they always assumed less of him. Very amusing. “We’re not a gang, Miss Stacy, but SHIELD will keep tabs on you regardless of whether you’d like to join or not. They just sent me in the hopes that I may be able to convince you. I know now that that’s not possible, but it’s always fun to see the newbies sweat.”

                         isabelle tilted her head a bit , before she pursed her red lips and let her dark orbs roam over the warlock. „ mh must be running in our blood then , i guess. “, she teased with a wink and she leant more against him , as she felt his lips on her forehead. „ mh that’s a lie. i might be half human and you might be immortal , but that doesn’t make you.. immortal. i know that you can die too. “; she mumbled and looked at him. „ that’s why you need to be careful as well. i don’t want to miss my favourite warlock. “

                “It certainly is. I’ve never met a Lightwood who didn’t behave as such, and I’m surprised I haven’t begun to gray because of it.” As if he would allow himself to go gray, while magic was still something he possessed. He wasn’t vain but he took great pride in his appearence, so that was not something he’d accept. Magnus held as tightly onto Isabelle as he dared, more protective than he’d like to admit. “I can die, it’s true, but one of us is more prone to dangerous situations, are we not? I’m always careful. I’m not leaving you anytime soon.”

         Darcy didn’t hesitate to take it. And yes, it wasn’t usually smart to approach random strangers in clubs, no matter how fabulous, but her friends were pretty much lost in the crowd (with only little chance of them resurfacing any time soon or remembering that Darcy was here too, if she was being honest) so it seemed as good an idea as any. “If you actually can teach me, the pleasure is absolutely mine” she joked easily. “I’m sorry if that was a weird way to start a conversation though, I’ve been told I can be a little too direct” she added, though it didn’t sound too apologetic.

              Magnus could tell that perhaps this woman was a little lost, not in life but in the crowd, and there was absolutely nothing worse than being on your lonesome in a club, unless you were looking for a hookup. That is the only time one might enjoy being such. “No problem in the slightest. C’mon, we have gender neutral bathrooms. I assume you have some eyeliner on you, otherwise I have a spare. Never know when you might need eyeliner.” Magnus grinned, making his way through the crowd, hoping that the near stranger would follow.

                        being back on her heels , she was still behind magnus as she followed him and she cursed under her breathe , as she looked around and couldn’T even find a glimpse of the other warlock. „ we’ve lost him.. dammit. “ , she groaned and let her eyes roamed around the streets again,  but there wasn’t plenty she could see.. and the warlock must have been scared. „ ..well let’s just head back.. there’s nothing we can do now. “

                     Magnus was frustrated to say the least, but not surprised in the slightest. This was just how life tended to go for the warlock, his luck running dry at the most inopportune times. He put his hands on his hips, heading in the direction of their destination, thoroughly disappointed in himself, not at all in his partner. “Why was he so scared?” Couldn’t he tell that they hadn’t had ill intentions?

As much he was so used to them; constantly used to wearing at least one. Alec really would hate if they were magical or could adjust themselves. Fingers did it swiftly, barely even touching as did it up. Before falling away once it was on properly. Stepping back a bit to double check and well look at the full picture of Magnus with it. 

“Yeah it does tend to give an confidence boost. Looks good too.” Not that was a uniquely Shadowhunter thing. Honestly as a teenager thought the world would be much cooler if more people just wore holsters for fun. 

                    Magnus was doing his best to behave himself, but it was a little difficult with Alexander’s agile fingers sliding along his thigh, fabric between them or no. He pouted when Alec’s hands dropped to his side, but did grin a moment after just because he felt so powerful with the holster strapped around him. “You think it looks good?” Magnus was practically purring, though only in light flirtation, striking as badass a pose as he could imagine for Alexander, hoping to make him laugh.

fiercehearts​:

                   Magnus couldn’t contain his own moans in response to just how tight and wonderful his partner felt against him. He could do this forever and be perfectly content, and seeing as he was immortal, he supposed he wouldn’t have too much trouble doing so, as long as he was able to maintain a pace. Dare to dream. Magnus let out a particularly passionate moan, leaning forward to sink his teeth into her shoulder just to silence himself. Fuck, his praise kink was really showing today. Then, their lips met and he was lost all over again.

Some comfort of normal; a sigh mixed with a laugh constant part of her childhood growing up. Even from friends. Which she understood had the determination and charm to usually cause trouble. “Yeah probably not but now I’m not going to ever unsee thinking about smacking one with a metal baseball bat.” If she had to be stuck in this life- maybe an demon killing baseball bat would be cool.  Wondering if was a bad idea but seeing it glow red; looked in awe for a moment. Before shaking it off. Yep magical tattoos were lame. “Wow, well yeah you’re pretty powerful either way put both together that’s like a force that can’t be reckoned with.”

                “I support your dreams, no matter how little they would affect the demons you’re hunting.” Magnus would support absolutely anything that Clary did, as long as she had some sort of backup for the sheer amount of chaos he was sure that she would cause just by existing. “Well, I am the son of a fallen angel. It was bound to come in useful at least once in my life.” Magnus spun the sword in his grip with ease, showcasing just how much skill he might’ve been hiding just for shits and giggles.

                        roman arched his brow. „ and you’re suppose to help people ? doesn’t look like that to me. “ , he mumured with a shrug , before his eyes roamed over him for a moment and he pursed his lips. „ but whatever you want , you can have the amount of money. i just need some help.. or at least some blood bags and i’ve heared you could manage to get me some. “

                 “I help people who deserve it,” Magnus corrected with a wag of his finger. Which was more often than not those in dire circumstances, not rich boys. Especially not rich boys. Magnus thought on it a moment, chewing on the inside of his lip before he waved Roman inside. “I don’t want your money, but blood is something I can do. Can’t have a hungry vampire roaming the streets.”

inkfated​:

    “Thank you. Change does good for us all. And I know that between Alec, you, Isabelle, Jace and Clary, the Clave’s ways will change. They are the future. And we can no longer live in the past where we hurt those that do not deserve it. Happiness does well on us both. I am glad you are happy as well. And speaking of, I would be happy to invite you and Alec both to dinner this evening. I promise that I am a far better cook than Isabelle has ever been. She must have gotten that trait from her father.” Her lips quirked up a little at that. Maybe it was time to give her children more cooking lessons as well. 

                      Magnus could only hope that that would be the case. The Clave was ancient and broken in their laws, though however reckless and cruel they may be, coming from their own, they may be convinced to change their ways, like Lydia had carved her own path despite Imogen Herondale’s best efforts. Magnus had dealt with the Clave his entire life, but change was in the air. He couldn’t hide his bright smile at the invitation, nodding enthusiastically. Magnus was sure that it would bring Alec the same happiness too, mama’s baby that he was, though loathe to admit it. “That sounds splendid. I can even assist you, if you’d like. I may not be a five star chef, but I’ve been able to feed myself plenty well enough the past few centuries. I learned from the best.” His own mother, of course.

familiaanteomnia​:

Speaking of those siblings; had to hope none of them were getting in trouble while he was absent. Carefully stepping over an fallen branch. “Well that’s helpful.” Over just having to guess out of several directions. “Depending on the type of trouble he tends to find. I’d say he should likely be fine, as much might have been foolish.” 

              It was. Magnus was lucky that Catarina had even seen Ragnor, but he was sure that the other elf had been attempting to bother her anyway, either as a means to give Magnus a clue as to where he was going or just to be the annoying son of a bitch that he was. “Well, see the thing is, unfortunately, that I believe the reason he left was because something was going to happen. He has a sort of inkling for such things, as to what the future holds, so he may have been trying to avoid something, like me getting hurt. The fact that he told me nothing only causes me more worry.” 

[stardustcreateda]

familiaanteomnia​:

“For sure.” Well generally could be a bit pessimistic, kind of nice hearing the positive spin on it. And rambling meant he didn’t have to talk as much. Smiling at the little anecdote. Bit of a stabbing pain cause sibling talk always tended to hurt despite it being long in the past. “You could probably put a label on the frame with his name, to bug him more.” 

                Magnus could tell that he said something that set off...something darker in Alexander, but hadn’t known him long enough to be able to read the shade of darkness that had clouded his date’s eyes. And he wouldn’t comment, wanting to quickly gloss over whatever mistake he had made. “You know, I should. Ragnor Fell : circa 298. Gods, he would so pissed. You’re a genius, Alexander.” Magnus gushed.

[stardustcreateda]

avastuniverse​:

“Okay. Good” that was that. Alec frowned at the off-hand remark. “Normal? You’re absolutely fine the way you are.” Maybe he meant his situation, Alec pondered, but that still was way too normal – enough people ended up in situations like these; it wasn’t on them.

It thankfully didn’t take much more convincing to let him at least take the places – Alec was sure he’d say something even more self-incriminating, and he wasn’t too great at playing casual. Usually he just went for what he wanted, so there was no good reason to play coy. He was a direct person, sometimes too much so. But he’d been harboring this crush for too long, it seemed that anything he’d usually say or do just wasn’t working. Well, that, and that his first priority really was the other’s well-being. If he also happened to enjoy the company, steal glances and little touches, maybe he could chalk it up as multitasking… and avoid admitting that he might be a creep.

He sent Magnus a smile, setting the places down. “I don’t think I can mess pasta up, but in case I did, please don’t try to eat it just to not hurt my feelings” he joked.

                Magnus had most definitely meant the situation that he’d put shoved into, as it had made him feel like some sort of inhuman thing, barely hanging on as he’d refused to eat or drink water or take any sort of basic care of himself, but it was nice nonetheless to have Alec tell him that he was normal. Even if he wasn’t normal on the best of days, an oddball in all sorts if one believed what society posed him to be. 

                Magnus was so nervous and had such low blood sugar that he was shaking, so he was happy to have Alec carry the plates, even if his most polite part of his brain was screaming at him to carry everything. He’d been raised to be a good host, no matter how shitty he may feel, so it was a fight to keep himself to the task solely of carrying the water glasses. However, he was beyond happy to be seated, gaze adoring and gentle as he met Alec’s, shaking his head with a soft laugh. “I think it’s impossible to ruin pasta, but this is the first time I’ve wanted to eat in days,” He wouldn’t admit that he hadn’t actually eaten in that long, either. “I’m sure it’s delicious. But I dare you to try first.” Magnus felt a bit uncomortable eating first, and it would feel a bit more relaxed if someone else was eating, too. At least until he could get used to the feeling.

The yelp felt bad but worst of it; and meant just one incident. “You’re welcome.” Continuing to walk once knew Magnus was entirely settled. Plus that had a steady hold too. Making his way smoothly to avoid any bumps or jostles to the transport. This was real, he was back and they’d well figure everything out later. Mostly just wanted to let him get medical attention. Strongest focus, anymore tears of relief and so forth could wait.

                 Magnus latched onto Alec as tightly as he could, wound himself entirely up in his lover, as best as one could when their body was broken and shattered from a long fall. Thankfully, it was a much quicker and smoother walk now that Magnus wasn’t holding them back. They made it back to Alec’s quinjet quickly, and although it was a comfort to be close to safety, Magnus didn’t want to leave Alec’s arms, now or ever. It was the only thing keeping him tethered here, to reality.

familiaanteomnia​:

He had spent most his life before getting turned, getting in fights and handling himself. Or not. Still was very much ingrained in his behavior. Anybody else acted the same he’d point out that it was stupid. But never could direct that logic to himself. Plus clung to his childhood even all the bad as much possible. 

Raphael’s arms wrapped around the warlock. Pillow falling abandoned onto the floor. Had been a moment of hesitation; before deciding to allow himself it after all wasn’t going to get told off or hurt for it. “They’re all so mean.” Thought slipping out, mumbled against Magnus’ shoulder. “Like they prompt- it and then get mad about it.” 

A few tears running down his face. Hated them, which was wrong but he did. How they would get so judgmental. Didn’t want to return back at all. 

                Magnus noticed just how intense Raphael’s hold on him was, so in return, he held the vampire close to him, settling his head atop the younger man’s humming consolingly against the thick of his hair. Immortality was harder than most mortals gave it credit, and he was surprised that Raphael hadn’t snapped before now, big brave boy that he was. Magnus was rather proud. “I know, darling, I know. Vampires, especially those old farts, aren’t exactly known for their kindness. Which is why I don’t keep many company, aside from yourself, of course. There’s nothing you can really do about it, other than give them as good as you’re given.”
