The Boundless Saga**
A canon divergent Malec AU. 
In the Sin Bin - WIP
As the goalie for the New York City Blazing Angels, Alec Lightwood thinks he’s finally found the team he can go all the way to the championship cup with. Then his agent and financial advisor are arrested for stealing their clients’ money, and Alec is forced to take on a side job doing endorsement deals, plus find a way to trust his new agent–Magnus Bane.
Alec hates Magnus the first time he sets eyes on him.
Magnus hates Alec more.
But they’re going to have to find some way to work together if Alec is going to make it to the championship.
Magnus Bane’s School for Young Warlocks - WIP
Alec had never dreamt he’d be a father by the age of 25, let alone the father of a Warlock. He’s sure he can handle it alone, though. He doesn’t need anyone and neither do his kids.
(Or: Alec takes Max to Warlock School and finds himself falling fast for his teacher).
Strange Love
Alec is in love with Magnus. Magnus needs Alec to be his fake boyfriend. What could possibly go wrong?
A Fighting Chance
When Magnus Bane bought the space for his dance studio, Pandemonium, he had no idea that the wall between it and the MMA Training Gym next door was so thin. Neither did he realize that a dispute over the loud music would lead to him becoming involved in the world of MMA and, more importantly, guide him to the man who would end up changing his life.
Wrong in The Dark
After Magnus crashes Alec’s wedding and Lydia is attacked, the Institute goes on lockdown. Magnus stays the night in Alec’s room.
Once Upon a Time In Brooklyn
Once upon a time, in a faraway land called Brooklyn, an older-than-he-seemed Warlock lived in a fashionable loft apartment…
Magnus Bane angers the wrong warlock and ends up with more than he bargained for. Not only is he cursed to live out fairytales that risk his life in increasingly creative ways, he also has to find his One True Love within the year or face dire consequences.
An AU set in the canon universe.
Setting Fire to a Stone**
There hasn’t been an omega in the Lightwood family for generations, and Alec is intent on making sure that nobody finds out that he’s the first. Then he meets Magnus Bane, who turns his world upside down.
Step Onto My Balcony
Alec did not smoke. He hated smoking. He hated everything about it, from the smell to the taste. Yet, there he was, at ten in the evening, buying cigarettes at the grocery shop down the road for the only purpose of having an excuse to hang on his balcony and talk to his very handsome and very taken neighbor. Alec felt really stupid right now.
The Gray Area
Alec Lightwood lives his life in monochrome. He lacks the color and the vibrancy that he knows he needs- it’s what he longs for everyday. He just doesn’t know how to find it. The first year of college can be a confusing time for anyone, and Alec is no exception. He’s at a point in his life where he begins to question everything about himself.And then he meets Magnus Bane.
And the Oscar goes to…
Working for Magnus isn’t easy. Magnus is out of control and Alec has to yell more often than not to get him to listen to him. He hates everything formal because it means he has to watch his mouth. Most importantly, Magnus is an incorrigible flirt.
Which would be alright if Alec wasn’t utterly, irremediably, unfathomably in love with him.
think of me when you shoot your arrows
Five times Alec gets off thinking about Magnus and one time he doesn’t have to.
AKA a character study of Alec and his thirst throughout season 1.
Bright Lights, Small Town
When Magnus gets to Nashville, Indiana to handle his late mother’s will, he doesn’t expect to be forced to stay there for six months. Six months away from New York and lost in the wildness of the countryside.
It quickly appears that he is going to go through six months of living hell.
The fact that he hates the local veterinarian on sight isn’t helping.
I Won’t Let You Fall - WIP
Alec Lightwood is the most beautiful and talented classically trained ballet dancer at the New York Arts Institute. He’s pressured by everyone in his life to carry the honor of the Lightwood name in the New York performing arts world, he feels trapped in a box. Magnus Bane is the most liked, respected, gorgeous, and innately talented hip-hop freestyle dancer who was accepted to the Institute on scholarship. He puts on the happy face for everyone around him, but inside he is broken and badly scarred by his past. When Alec finds himself wanting to branch out and add free movement to his final senior piece he seeks the help of the one person he’s been secretly drawn to for years. The one person he knows lives very much outside of the box.
Quid Pro Quo**
A What if…? taking off from the “I’ll do you pro bono” scene in 1x11. Alec accepts Magnus’ initial offer; things grow complicated from there.
(Aka the PWP that grew a plot and transformed into a full-on canon remix au. XD)
No Sweeter Innocence
Magnus is Alec’s first kiss, first relationship, first everything. So when they start having sex, he’s a little overwhelmed at first.
(Or: Five times Alec accidentally ‘finished’ early, and the one time he finally outlasted Magnus.)
coax the coals (please heed the tags)
Raphael, in turn, looks at the ginger root Magnus is holding and says, “Díos, this again?”
“What do you mean, again?” Jace asks, looking curious.
“Have we just abandoned all social rules?” Simon asks, going mostly unheard as he follows Raphael into the loft. “Does no one say ‘hi’ anymore?”
One Show Only
It’s hard to stay in the closet when the guy you had a one-night stand with two nights ago turns out to be your new partner … but Alec will be damned if he isn’t going to give it a try.
Magnus, How Long Have You Been Twenty?
Soulmate AU where you age to about 18/21, and then you stay that age until you find your soulmate.
It’s Time To Lose Your Virginity, Brother Dearest
Magnus Bane is a famous stripper, used to pretty boys falling in love with him after one dance. The feeling is hardly ever mutual. But when he meets the freshly turned twenty-one year old Alec lightwood, he can’t take his eyes off him, and they find themselves in love quicker than they expected.
oh, i’ve waited for you
He’d been willing to maybe try messing around with a shadowhunter—his first—but a married one? Hell no. (And he’d been to hell before, so he knew exactly how serious it was).
The Children of Merlin- WIP
Magnus Bane has everything he could have hoped for: a job at Hogwarts, a chaotic made-up family that he loves more than anything and the freedom of doing what he wants whenever he wants.
When his friends manage to drag him to a Quidditch game, he doesn’t expect it to change his life. For better or worse.
They call themselves the Children of Merlin and they are going to make his life a living hell.
The Arrangement
When a meeting with a debt collector at a randomly chosen night club starts to go wrong, Alec meets a man who might just change his life with one unique offer.
Addicted To You
Magnus Bane’s the head of his own company. Alec Lightwood is in his last year of law school. They’ve never met but have one thing in common: neither does relationships. Just one night stands. That is until they find themselves matched on a hookup app and suddenly one night is not enough.
Also known as the one where Magnus and Alec meet and think they can have no strings attached sex and not develop feelings.
Fall Without Wings - WIP
Alec has been told the same stories all his life. He’s been taught the same lines, over and over again. Downworlders are reckless, impulsive, demonic. They’re not to be trusted.
And Magnus Bane is the epitome of everything evil about Downworlders.
At least, that’s what people keep telling him. Alec’s not quite so sure anymore.
Or: In which the Nephilim have wings, are taught to loathe Downworlders, and Alec is presented with a conundrum when Magnus Bane saves his life.
You’re Taking My Heart by Storm
They’d been doing this… thing for weeks now. Actually it was more than that, it was months. Four to be exact. Not that Alec was counting. Except that he totally was.
5 times Alec and Magnus gets interrupted and 1 time they don’t.
Appassionato
Alec plays the piano every day, with great talent. One night, a note slips under his door: it’s a request from an anonymous neighbor. Before he knows it, Alec picks up the habit of leaving his window open so his neighbor can listen to him. Requests keep coming. Slowly, two strangers start a conversation without words and let the music do the work for them.
My True Love Gave To Me
Magnus Bane had a plan, a perfect Christmas Eve just like always. Hang out with his friends, bask in the Christmas Spirit. Then everything went wrong.
Now he’s stuck reliving the same day again and again and again. The bright side? Maybe Alec Lightwood isn’t as terrible as Magnus always thought.
Home
A few weeks after the wedding incident, the Clave has Alec arrested and put on trial to have his runes stripped for what seems like no reason. Faced with exile, Alec must come to terms with himself, his feelings for a certain warlock, and the world that he was raised in.
secrets that you keep - WIP
Alec Lightwood wasn’t used to doing things for himself. He had grown up looking after his siblings and learning how to be the perfect Shadowhunter: never had he considered even the idea of falling in love.
For over a century, Magnus Bane had closed himself off to feeling anything for man or woman. After a particularly nasty break up, he worried that opening his heart up again would result in nothing but another heartbreak.
When the two of them meet at a mundane coffee shop, it’s a rush of feelings that Alec has never felt before, and that Magnus had thought he would never feel again.
The only problem? Both think the other is a mundane, and for centuries, Downworlders and Shadowhunters have been forbidden from falling in love.
This Is a Bad Idea
Alec Lightwood had a good life in Columbus, Ohio. He was growing strong as a lawyer in his mother’s law firm and achieving his dream-career step by step. He had a good life, comfortable and steady, if not a little boring.
So, when headhunter Magnus Bane offered him an interview at the prestigious IDRIS LLP in New York, Alec decided that it couldn’t hurt to take a look. After all, one didn’t turn down IDRIS LLP off the hat, even if they weren’t really interested.
Little did he know that New York offered much more than a job in a bigger company. The city was fast, insanely alive, but most of all, it had Magnus. And Magnus changed everything.
It’s a Yes from Me
Reclusive singer Alec Lightwood has been taking some time away from the spotlight for a few years now. He has lost his inspiration, his reason to keep making music.
That is, until his manager, Luke Garroway, asks him to enter the panel of the ridiculous singing competition The Angel’s Voice. Alec only says yes because that means keeping an eye on Clary and Simon. He hates those fixed, degrading TV shows with a burning passion. Hopefully, Alec figures, he’ll get some inspiration back watching new comers try their luck on TV. Some of them are bound to be good.
It isn’t until Magnus Bane walks on stage, however, that Alec realizes just how right he is.
aaand that’s it for now! enjoy!
