Will's been best friends with Jem since the sixth grade, always able to rely on him as a constant pillar of support. But when he realizes his feelings for the other go beyond friendship, his entire world shifts. Struggling with the obstacles thrown at him by high school and the people around them, Will drags them both down a dark road they may never be able to find their way off.
Gideon may have a bit of a crush on the barista at the coffee shop he keeps going to— for the coffee, of course.
"But, when I think about it, that might have been the moment I fell in love with you. Before you even knew my name, you understood me in this strange way no one else in my life ever had." Alec retells the stories that make up their lives to the man he loves, unsure he can even hear him anymore. But Magnus might still be listening, even to the parts he's not sure he wants to hear.
When Magnus moves to a new school he isn't expecting to fall hard into the mysterious world of Alec Lightwood, a boy with a secret hidden from everyone. As he finds himself tangled in a web of wonder and worry, he begins to realize that there's a lot more to Alec than anyone could ever imagine. And not just Alec either, but his desperate and broken sister and brother as well.
She shouldn't have been afraid, though, because not a moment later a head of shimmering silver hair made its way through the hatch, the young man attached dropping firmly onto the water-soaked floor with a slosh. (Jessa Pirate AU)
There's a difference between the two of you, you see. He will always walk two steps behind you, trailing in your shadow and clinging to the scraps you throw his way because he's too kind, too loving of you and loathing of himself, to ever tell you how you've hurt him.
When Alec is nine, he is grey. He is blurred and uncertain, teetering on the edge of two stark contrasts he can't fall into no matter how hard he wishes he could. He is grey, with nothing set in stone or made clear by the beautiful starkness of his colour.
Alec isn't normally the type to enjoy these kinds of social events, or really any for that matter. Then again, most Christmas parties don't involve the gorgeous stranger who keeps checking him out.
Really, Magnus's only reason for coming to this wedding in the first place was to ensure two of his admittedly few close friends didn't resent him for the rest of their lives (and, of course, support them in their beautiful, precious, horrifically sappy marriage). The blue-eyed boy across the bar is a nice addition, though.
Simon has a small (okay, huge) crush on the new model he's been photographing.
A Jimon AU in which Simon is the manservant to the prince with eyes for his sister.
Sophie gets fed up with her friend's consistent pining over a fair-haired employee at the bakery they now frequent and decides that if Tessa isn't going to say anything, she will. She'll be thanked for this later.
When Alec discovers his boyfriend of two years has been cheating on him, he's heartbroken. Then comes along the famous singer, Magnus Bane, who is determined to change that. Alec is wary, not wanting to fall back into the same kind relationship he's just gotten out of. Will Magnus be able to change that? AU/AH Rating subject to change.
Right before he drifted off, Alec realized he never caught the warlock's name. He didn't know why, but he was immensely overjoyed that the man had stayed even just a few minutes longer.
More than anything, he wishes he could see the face that belongs to the voice he's fallen in love with.
Unfortunately for Jace, his sister's new-found friendship with the artsy redhead from their school means he's going to keep getting stuck with the ratty boy who trails after her like a lost puppy. Although, he might not mind as much as he'd thought he would.
When they are nineteen, struggling with the growing distance that has wedged its way between them, they will look on at the messes they have become and wonder where they fell into such a downward spiral.
His face burned in shame, his ears red and his hands shaking as he scrambled to pick up everything that had been knocked out of his hands only moments before.
"Stop being such a drama queen. What's so bad about having two of the most popular guys in the school vying for your attention?"
In which someone keeps dialing the wrong number and leaving copious amounts of amusing messages on Magnus's phone. Magnus is not at all complaining. AH
