“you look cute like this,” he tells her quietly. “next to me. on a date.” if there’s one thing he wants right now it’s for clary to be happy. after what she’s been through her mind and body need the break. they all need a damn break and that’s why he invited alec and magnus along.

he tugs his skates on after giving clary hers and rushes to his feet. bad idea. his hand shoots forward and he uses the wall to steady himself. he’s a shadowhunter, he shouldn’t be having issues with balance. he just knows clary’s probably trying to hold back laughter so he grunts and calls out to his parabatai. “whoever falls the most has to do the other’s laundry for a week.” taking clary’s hand they make their way from the backroom to the empty indoor rink. // @claryfrayed skating shenanigans

I picked up the water based lubricant but it’s strawberry.

     GLANCING   AROUND   INSTANTLY,   HAWK-EYED   AT   every   other   shadowhunter   in   sight,   just   making   sure   no   one   had   turned   their   head   to   look   in   their   direction   —   alec   quickly   shoots   magnus   a   narrow   glare,   ❝   when   i   said   come   in   for   lunch   i   didn’t   mean   to   let   you   talk   about   lube   in   public,   ❞   a   grimace,   before   quickly   adding:   ❝   —   the   strawberry   tastes   like   medicine.   ❞

@banetales ;; just bc !!

kaidan waited --- rather PATIENTLY , for alec lightwood to finally get up & leave the loft .   kaidan lingering quietly & undetectable in the farthest corner of the hallway .   he rushed inside ; speed on his side , the moment he was in the elevator .   off to play the part of dumb & dumber with blondie at the abandoned church .   “so ,”   he announced , sitting comfortably on the couch with his legs crossed as he stared over at a busy MAGNUS .   “this ‘ bond ’ that buffy & dear alexander have ... does that include naked sleepovers ??”

@banetales [liked for a starter]

Ragnor was crouched on the floor, watching one of the fish swimming at the bottom of the aquarium in his living room. ‘You’ll never disappoint me will you? You never bother me either. That’s why I love you. You just swim there and don’t ask stupid questions. As long as you get fed you’re no bother at all, are you?’

He suddenly became aware of a sound in the doorway and looked up to see Magnus. Of course Magnus would turn up announced and let himself in. Of course he would. ‘...I’ll give you your pick of any of my expensive whiskeys if you pretend you never saw this.’

@banetales liked for a starter from Maryse.

   Maryse was still not overly thrilled about her son dating the High Warlock of Brooklyn. She was waiting for the man to call her out on things she’d done in the past, to tell her son how horrible she had really been, even though she really didn’t see herself that way. If Magnus told her son those things, he was likely to never speak to her again. So when she caught the warlock about to leave the Institute, Maryse said, “I don’t know what it is my son sees in you.” And she knew she was likely to get a grimace or a frown in response, maybe nothing at all if she was likely. “But I can tell that you make him happy and I’d prefer you keep it that way. If I find out you’ve hurt him somehow…,” she trailed off, leaving Magnus to guess what she might be able to do to him should he hurt her son.

   EMBARRASSMENT   AS   THICK   AS   PILING   SNOW   ON   pavement   laid   upon   his   chest   ;   the   burn   in   the   pit   of   your   stomach   that   made   you   wish   to   lower   your   gaze   from   everyone   like   a   cowering   dog   .   alec   knew   he   was   wrong   (   for   lying   to   his   mother   )   ,   but   what   else   could   he   have   done   ?   he   TRIED   !   desperately   so   ,   &   it   hadn’t   worked   .   though   ,   he   had   to   admit   ,   he   was   incredibly   stupid   for   kicking   the   dust   under   the   rug   &   assuming   it   would   all   be   swept   away   .   that   it   wouldn’t   ruin   his   life   .   that   it   wouldn’t   swallow   him   whole   .   magnus’   work   ;   he   must   have   done   something   for   the   contact   to   reach   alec’s   mom   again   .   no   deadline   ,   still   ,   but   he   was   getting   antsy   &   had   to   call   them   .   offered   them   more   money   to   get   to   his   contract   first   .   she   told   alec   to   leave   .   to   GO   GET   IT   DONE   !   so   he   went   .   so   he   found   himself   where   it   all   began   .

  GUSTS   OF   NIGHT   WIND   ---   LASHING   ACROSS   ALEC’S   face   like   a   whip   against   his   cheek   .   his   forehead   .   left   him   red   &   raw   ,   but   he   didn’t   pay   anything   any   mind   up   here   .   on   magnus’   fire   escape   ,   nothing   but   the   city   below   him   ,   his   legs   dangling   off   of   the   edge   as   he   mindlessly   watched   the   people   below   like   they   were   ants   .   lucky   them   ,   his   thoughts   were   bitter   .   able   to   wander   without   any   worry   ,   with   no   burdening   ,   crippling   obligation   .   fuck   them   all   .

ah, monday. usually, when he woke up on monday, there was just more exhaustion. more yawning than there was wide eyes. more dread than any other emotion. yet, his stomach was light. it did a flip as he remembered that tonight was the night. how well it went the past two days... how easy it was to talk to magnus. how much more simple it made everything. that was fucked up, wasn’t it? to forge a bond with someone even though he shouldn’t have. there was a part of alec, a big part, that really did enjoy talking to magnus. it was just complicated. it was important that doing so was easy so this could go as smoothly as possible. that’s just how it had to be. he hadn’t needed to stalk magnus today, there was no need to tail, no need to take photos, or find lucrative spots to end his life. he already had a golden opportunity that was wide open. just waiting for him to strike. so, yeah. alec was excited. it was a weird feeling, but one that he found welcoming. wonders if everyone felt this way leading up to their first contracted kill.  alec spends the day training, planning, and then promptly packing everything up. he stuffed his camera bag full of things he’d need: his camera, extra film, gloves, a syringe full of something special ( m99 - etorphine ), and of course, weed. lots of weed. along with some wraps, because that was the plan, really. spend time with him for a few hours, let him get comfortable. everything would be slow, and the process would be long but that’s okay. that’s what he’s been expecting since he was a child. patience was a virtue, and all that. he left his loft at exactly two thirty-two in the morning, bag over his shoulder, and his camera in hand. acting normal would be easy, considering he’s never felt strange around magnus. it was always... simple. felt that way at least, even though it wasn’t. it was 3:05 in the morning when he ended up at magnus’ doorstep. the jacket he said he liked still on him, because he didn’t feel like testing a new one. not that he cared what magnus thought of him or his clothes... nope. he knocked on the door, knuckles hard as they rap against the wood. the mercenary feels a pounding in his chest, his heart racing. why was he getting nervous now? the second magnus opened the door, alec raised his camera up, and promptly snapped a picture of him. “hey,” he greeted, grin wide as he held the polaroid between two fingers before handing it off to his company for the night --- or, extremely early morning. “how was your day?”
