The Lightwood Chronicles (Lightwood History Collection Book 1)

When all the stories fade, when I am out of breath? My yoke is, your yoke is, restin' on our shoulders and we share the weary load. An accusation, a taunt, a reminder. As if Alec needs any of those things from the callous unfeelingness of a laminated sign. Magnus is a true Alpha and leader of the downworld pack, the biggest of its kind in Idris. When Sebastian Morgenstern offers a deal which Magnus tries hard to refuse he comes face to face with Alexander Lightwood, a young Omega who could be his true mate, the person he's been waiting for his entire life. This will probably change at some point when I've actually thought of a summary and not made it up on the spot.

The first time Alec saw him Everything in his head went quiet. All the tics, all the constantly refreshing images just, disappeared. When you're Alec Lightwood, you don't really get quite moments, even in his bed he's thinking, but when Alec saw him, the only thing I could think about was the hairpin curve of his lips.. For Alec, dance is his oxygen, the only time he can really communicate perfectly, he's never had it easy, from being the first born to a family of lawyers dance wasn't the dream they had for their eldest on top of being anti social, gay and having horrific childhood experiences, Alec doesn't expect to find someone who wants him.

That was a truth that Tony Stark had grown up knowing. He knew about the human world — full of the mundane, people who went about their lives with no knowledge of the truth, who never saw what really existed underneath the masks that people wore. He knew about the Shadow world — a place full of horror and beauty, demons and angels, and a war as old as time. And he knew about the Downworld — the monsters and demons, werewolves and vampires, creatures that were thought to be stories, and magic.

Tony grew up knowing about all three worlds, and how to survive in each one of them. He learned how to do business with any type of being he might come across, and how to play the part of a diplomat no matter the attitude of whoever he encountered. He knew how to play his part, to be who he needed to be when absolutely necessary, and more often than not choosing not to give a damn about it all. Come in for a daily dose of Malec porny advent calendar! Exactly what it says on the tin: Mostly Malec being very emotional about being together and having sex, because that's usually what people ask for; I'll specify pairings in the chapter titles.

Sequel to Red Mist. Alec is back in New York, and no one remembers Magnus but him. Magnus is with Asmodeus, and he's desperate to forget what they used to be. Magnus is reluctant at first and then he meets his basketball coach who is very attractive indeed. Magnus gives Alec all the relaxation and love he needs when he gets home from days on end of exhaustion and self-neglect. Alec searches high and low to figure out when Magnus' birthday is, just so he can surprise his boyfriend and take his mind off the troubles of the last few months. Magnus was a Shadowhunter. A few techs looked up, then hastily dropped their heads as Alec swiveled around to glare at them.

He was holding a small notepad and wearing aviator sunglasses. He would look every inch the g-man except for the earcuff he wore when outside the office. Also, his suit was purple. Jace picked up a glass and the jug of water that was sat on his desk and poured himself a drink. Magnus raised his eyebrow at him. But alas, this isn't about you Blondie. All this stress can't be good for her in her delicate condition. Magnus began to wonder whether it was possible for someone to get so furious that it struck them dumb with rage.

Magnus could sense the anger coming from his husband's tense body, and so it seemed, could their sons who were now looking pointedly at the floor. Max seemed to shrink back in to the fabric of the couch, as though if everybody's attention was on his brother they wouldn't notice him. Rafael sat up straight, flicking his unruly brown hair out of his eyes as he met his father's eyes defiantly. There were only a few times before Max had seen his Dad angry but never this furious.

Alec shook his head furiously. Magnus softened and conjured up a tissue and a first aid kit. Gently he knelt down beside the young warlock and dabbed his little blue face with the tissue, before bandaging up his arm. Rafael shuffled closer to his little brother, his eyes shifting warily around them as if expecting another attack.

He kept saying that he shouldn't be in the Institute training with us because he wasn't a Shadowhunter like me and you.

Max looked up at his Papa tearfully, leaning into Rafael's side for support. Rafael looked up at Alec in astonishment. And I'm glad you stuck up for your brother but if we used our fists all the time on ignorant people, we'd just get bloody knuckles. Rise above it and prove to yourself that you can be better than them. Alec stood up and ruffled Rafael's hair. Magnus led them out of the room towards the entrance of the Institute. They could always send a note to Clary and Jace later when they get home. It was too late now to let them know in person as the sun outside had already begun to set on the busy city streets.

A bright blue doorway appeared in front of them as Magnus conjured up a portal to their apartment in Brooklyn. They stepped through the portal and were greeted with a put out Chairman Meow who had started to become quite grumpy in his old age. Alec nudged the boys towards the bathroom. If you're quick, I might just put your Aunt Izzy's soup in the bin instead of making you eat it. Alec let himself smile a little. Magnus strode over to his husband and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

Alec turned and wrapped his arms around Magnus's waist, giving him a kiss with a smile. Trust me if I'd got hold of him, that kid's broken nose would be the least of his worries when he's sporting a horrible case of boils and an awful monobrow. Magnus looked up at his husband's weary face, which was slowly starting to show his age, if only a little bit through the crow's feet at the corners of his bright blue eyes.

Magnus knew what that look meant. Boys will be boys after all. It doesn't mean you're a bad parent. I was thinking about Max. And our boys are being put through that. What if Max grows to hate Shadowhunters? Besides, you and Rafael are Nephilim and he loves you both to pieces. Alec painted on a smile and told them both to set the table as if nothing had been worrying him at all. Magnus let go of Alec and picked up Chairman Meow, giving the feline a scratching under his whiskery chin.

As Max began to conjure up plates and cutlery, Rafael walked up to Alec and wrapped his arms tightly around Alec's waist in a hug. I'll be better, I promise. Alec softened as he held onto Rafael, remembering the time he had found Rafael growing up almost feral on the streets of Buenos Aires. I've decided that I'll update as soon as I'm happy about each of the chapters I currently have plans for about fifteen stories with some already written but unedited. Thank you all for the reviews and the favourites and subscriptions. I hope to hear from you all again soon. Just to clarify again, this series will be a series of one shots unless I specify otherwise from different points in the Lightwood-Bane ' s lives.

This chapter also features characters from the Mortal Instruments. Isabelle bustled about her brother with blood streaming down her cheek from a cut just above her left eyebrow and Simon grabbed every medical supply he could manage to hold. He tried to speak but the wound on his side made it difficult for him to even think. He turned his head to the side and watched Simon limping around as he unwrapped bandages and sterilised implements.

Jace knelt down on the other side of Alec, sweat pouring from his forehead and tore the remainder of Alec's shirt apart so that he could look at the wound. Jace glanced at Alec's face and gave him a tight smile. Just needs a couple of iratzes and you'll be back to normal. A throbbing pain flashed across his head and was almost blind with dizziness before his head fell back against the pillow, falling into unconsciousness as he went. Jace felt the blood drain from his face as he turned to Isabelle. Clary was on the other side waiting for them beckoning them through the doors of the Inst itute.

Magnus knelt down in front of the young warlock, who had not long turned five years old, and gave him a brave smile. I'm going to go help him. As soon as they were out of sight, Magnus ran to the elevator as fast as his legs could carry him and punched the button for the Infirmary.

When he reached the infirmary doors and swung them open, Magnus's sight was met with the image of Alec's writhing body contorting on the cot as Simon, Jace and Isabelle tried to hold him down.

Magnus flitted to his lover's side and held his tensing hands in his, watching as Alec's eyes rolled back as his body spasmed. Sticking out of Alec's waist and completely surrounded by Alec's blood was a demon stinger the length of Magnus's hand. We think there's a barb on the end preventing it from coming out. Magnus turned back to see Alec's mouth start to froth. Magnus snapped his fingers as his magic flew over Alec's body. The others let go with a gasp as Alec's body slowly started to calm down.

We're going to need them. Jace, clean the blood around the wound away and get ready with your stele.

He's going to need blood replacement runes and iratzes as soon as we get the venom out of his system. Magnus looked up in horror as he spotted Max and Rafael staring at Alec on the bed. Glittering sparks flew from Max's hands as he ran. Clary grabbed Rafael trying to shield his attention from Alec's wound and sent an apologetic look over her shoulder.

I turned my back for one second. Magnus turned his attention back to Alec, feeling rattled as Isabelle dumped the towels and holy water on the floor beside him. Choking noises started coming from Alec's mouth as the seizures started up again. Isabelle bit back a whimper as she stroked her Alec's hair. Don't leave me tooaC 1 " she sobbed. What do I do now? Shaking his head out of the dizzying fog surrounding his mind, Magnus looked at Jace with a grimace.

Any poison left in that skin will go straight into Alexander's bloodstream as soon as you take the stinger out. Alec's eyes flew open with a scream as Izzy tried to keep him still. Magnus pushed as much of his strength into his magic as he could stand, fighting off the dizzying wave of unconsciousness threatening to overwhelm him. A moment later Jace removed the stinger throwing it to the side and threw the bucket of holy water on the remains of the wound, watching as the last of the demon ichor fizzled away. Jace then pressed the towels against the wound to stop the bleeding as he hastily applied runes on to Alec's slick torso.

Alec went still as Magnus removed his magic, slumping against the side of the cot and gingerly touching Alec's fingers. Isabelle pressed a tearful kiss to Magnus's cheek. The pain that was in his side earlier had now been reduced to a tender ache underneath the course bandages wrapped around his stomach. There was a look on Magnus's face that felt like a stab to Alec's chest.

Record Details

Don't think I won't. Only now could Alec see the unshed tears of worry in Magnus's yellow cat's eyes. Do you expect me to dress them in white for your funeral this early in their lives? Sheldon told me what happened earlier whilst you were asleep. And, for the record, I don't want that either. I'm not going to abandon my sister and my parabatai the next time they need me on a patrol. Alec shook his head sadly. It's part of the job. I'm not ready to let you go. Alec nodded, squeezing Magnus's hand in comfort.

Magnus leaned forward and kissed Alec's mouth. Rafael groggily woke up and turned to Alec as well.
