“The warlock had tried to explain the nature of time to Magnus, how it was difficult to measure because it's not linear like most assume. Everything’s happening at once, and if that’s true and the warlock isn’t totally full of shit, then Alec will always be 23 and walking towards Magnus on his own wedding day, dressed in gold and black; 24 and standing at Magnus’ doorway with a duffle bag and two sad boxes; 25 and lying in the grass next to Magnus at the park, grinning softly as the sun sets; 27 and holding an orphaned warlock child, meeting Magnus’ gaze with pleading eyes across the Institute.”
