Summary: When Magnus Bane walks into Alec’s third grade classroom, a scowl printed on his face and a permanent chip on his shoulder, Alec has no idea that, one day, this scrawny smart-ass will mean the world to him.
He has even less idea that he’ll mean just as much to Magnus.
In which Magnus and Alec are destined for each other, everyone around them can see it, and sometimes, love is found in the most unexpected places.
