Summary
When love runs deep, words can cut deeper. A night meant for tenderness unravels into distance, leaving insecurities and unspoken fears in its wake. Yet even through silence and pain, their hearts reach for each other—across the fragile line between breaking and holding on.He was late—again. His jacket hung off one shoulder, his steps sharp but uneven, and Alec could smell it before he could stop himself: a faint perfume, not Magnus’s, clinging to his lapels. Sweet, expensive, unfamiliar.

Summary
Magnus and Alec's friendship forms and deepens over DMs and texts, filled with banter and flirting but never really acknowledged in real life. There wasn't anything to hide, after all…but there wasn't really anything for them to show, either. Sort of.
It all comes to a head when Alec kisses Magnus on New Year's Eve, surrounded by all their loved ones, who had no idea the pair had been close at all.

Who Is William Herondale?: A Presentation.
After weeks of Magnus being secretive, furtive and giggling to himself in the middle of the night, Alec is starting to suspect that his boyfriend may be going a bit mad.
But, when he and his friends wake up in the middle of Magnus' living room with an odd taste in their mouths and no memory of how they got there, things turn from weird and outright creepy. The addition of a very confused Brother Zachariah and the mysterious but calm Tessa Gray, and the group begin to suspect that Magnus is once again up to something.
The lights dim and a projector appears, displaying the title page of a PowerPoint presentation they will never forget. A presentation that will answer one of Alec's most burning questions in his and Magnus' relationship: Who is William Herondale? -

He isn't too sure about being able to live up to his parents' high standards and he doesn't know in whom he can confide. Certainly not with his siblings he wants to protect them at all costs.

He played.
It came with ease he didn’t even know he had.
The soft mellows sound of the piano flowed in the room easing the tension that Alec didn’t even know was present on his shoulders. He didn’t know what he was playing, didn’t even know what notes he was using, but whatever it was came with an effortless tapping of his fingers like his memory was in full sync with him as he pushed on keys and then continued like he was on autopilot.

Summary
Alec and Jace have become fast friends in the few months Alec has been living in New York. Jace is smart, fun, loyal and also, apparently in love with one of the most popular guy at school, Magnus Bane.
That's so unfortunate, right? It's not that Alec dislikes Magnus, why would he? It is just that he has had this crush on Jace for so long and, anyway, the senior student seems rather unattainable, like he's living on another plane of existence that he shouldn't really worry about him.
And so, Alec wonders... how the Hell is it possible that tomorrow he will go on a date... with Magnus Bane?Series
