Luck and Protection
A Shadowhunters 2x11 fix-it fic also on my AO3! Got the idea from @drakamena‘s lovely collection of fic’s from her work All Things Shadowhunters specifically the chapter titled Safety,Peace! Enjoy 💖
It didn’t work. When Azazel tried to touch Magnus his hand burned. He had this grand plan for causing is dear nephew a most horrid curse which would provide him with the mortal cup but. it. didn’t.work.
“What magic is this!” he growled as he looked over Magnus and saw a subtle golden glow surround him, the source emanating from Magnus’ chest. Magnus, still in pain from whatever magic Azazel was doing, gives him a contorted but confused look before Azazel sneers at him and leaves releasing them all from the magical pain. Zharm. “I’m very lucky. Thanks to you.” A cold and uneasy feeling melts away when Alec takes his hand to lead them away. “Me?” Magnus can’t shake the feeling that Azazel had something horrible planned. “The omamori protected me from something Azazel was trying to do to me.” Alec’s hand tightens in his. “Do something? Are you hurt.” Magnus shakes his head and leans closer to Alecs side. “An angelic gift given with love and a pure intent. You will never cease to amaze me Alexander.” Alec pulls them into an empty hall and wraps his arms around Magnus. “That was a stupid idea. I let everyone get hurt.” he sighs. Alec just wanted to find his sister. “I’m sure she’s fine darling.” Magnus reassures and at his words Alec’s phone rings. Alec begrudgingly untangles from Magnus and answers it, a bright smile lighting up his face when he realizes who it is. “Izzy thank god.” Magnus gives him some space to talk with his sister, glad that she’s contacted them. “Izzy’s fine and will be back tomorrow. Thank the angel.” Alec sighs in relief and tugs Magnus back into his arms. “Thank you for helping me and just everything. Magnus I know I ask for help a lot but- but I’ve never had someone who genuinely wants to help me besides my siblings. I-” “I’m glad I’m a person you look to for help.” They rest their foreheads together and relax into the others embrace. “I should probably head home and wash all this ash off.” Magnus ducks out from Alec’s hold. “You’re absolutely free to join me.” he adds making Alec smirk as he intertwines their hands. “Ya lets go home.”
