    Summary

    Alec Lightwood’s job is simple: blend into the background, his eyes sharp and his ears open, and keep the Crown Prince of Idris in one piece. If he does it right, then no one sees him, hears him, or knows he’s there at all. But when Alec discovers a plot against the Crown and ends up cursed for his trouble, his reputation as the Prince’s shadow becomes a little too real. Desperate for help, he seeks out Magnus Bane—the only mage powerful enough to break his curse.

    The stories say Magnus Bane can level cities with a flick of his fingers, that he doesn’t even have a heart. But the Magnus Alec meets turned out to be very different: someone brilliant, and kind, yet somehow deeply, impossibly sad. If Alec is going to get Magnus’ help, he needs to break down the walls Magnus has built, to get through to a heart he’s hidden away. Alec’s never thought of himself as someone who deserves to be seen or heard—but if he’s going to save Jace’s life, he’s going to have to.

    (or: the Howl’s Moving Castle AU that absolutely no one asked for, but I wrote anyway.)

    Summary

    Alec doesn't expect Magnus to be home when he gets back to the loft, and he doesn't expect him to have a belly piercing. Not that he's complaining.

    Summary

    The door opens. Alec tenses, and his body throbs.
     
    A man steps through, and Alec curls his fingers into his palms, terror pulsing through him. Because the man isn't a man. He's a warlock. A demon. The same person he felt crouching over him when he fell.

    Why is he here? What has the warlock done to him?

    "Well well, little angel. You're awake."

    ***

    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.
