    Summary

    A month after Alec moved in, he suggested that they redecorate the apartment together.

    “No.”

    Magnus frowned. “No?”

    Alec turned the page of the book he was reading, apparently completely unconcerned with the conversation. “I mean, it’s sweet of you to ask, but it’s unnecessary.”

    Alec doesn't have a lot of things to bring to Magnus's apartment when he moves in after they get married, and he doesn't have any interest in changing the apartment to suit him better. This bothers Magnus, and he's not quite sure why or what to do about it.

    Summary

    "I learned how to dance."

     

    Magnus got a bad feeling for the second time that night. "I'm not sure the problem has ever been that you didn't know how to dance, it was in the execution."

     

    Alec rolled his eyes. “Fine, then I've been improving my execution of my dancing knowledge.  I’ve been taking lessons.”

     

    On their sixth anniversary, Alec surprises Magnus with a gift that Magnus once dreamed about.

    Summary

    “You’re scared.”

    Magnus straightened up, his eyes flashing, indignant. “Excuse me?”

    “You think I don’t notice the way you avoid the subject every time I bring it up? ‘The past is the past, Alexander’ and ‘let’s take it one day at a time, Alexander.’ We can’t hide from this stuff forever, Magnus. We need to talk.”

    Magnus Bane has had seventeen thousand lovers, give or take. But he's only ever had one husband. And that husband just brought up the immortality question.

    Summary

    It was a normal morning.  They were sitting at their dining table, eating blueberry and lemon crepes and eggs over easy, a compromise between Magnus’s cravings and Alec’s.  Magnus was telling Alec about the wards he needed to adjust that day, animated and excited as he described the details of his work, waving a fork with some crepe on it for emphasis; and Alec was watching him, adoring every minute expression that crossed his husband’s face.

    And then it happened.

    Magnus sneezed.

    Magnus accepting he has a cold and needs to take care of himself, shown through the five stages of grief. As in the grief he's giving Alec because he's grumpy about being sick.

    Summary

    "Because we're friends," she says with a shrug and a smile.

    Alec experiences a rare moment where his mind blanks completely. He stares at her like he's never seen her before.

    Clary's bright smile loses some wattage after ten full seconds tick by. "Aren't we?"

    "Yes, of course we are," he replies, without even needing to think about it.

    Summary

    Drow are quite inconveniently sensitive to daylight. Essek considers it a burden to both himself and his traveling companions.

    When fighting off an onslaught of light-sensitive Aeorian spiders, Essek has to confront the fact that the Nein might not consider him an inconvenience at all.

    ———

    The spiders pressed in further. Essek gave a flippant gesture with one arm, to the tune of ‘just do it already—I am not so fragile.’

    ‘Fajar’, Caleb said as he relented, hoisting the orb into the air. The driftglobe exploded like the sun itself.

    Summary

    Caleb is late coming home from Soltryce and Essek is worried. He is right to be.

    Caleb had approximately four different paths he regularly took from Soltryce to his home. Given that it was a Wednesday, Astrid was on business in Nicodranas, and their usual butcher had a family emergency in the countryside, there were really only two routes he was likely to take. Factoring in Caleb’s distaste for the cacophony of Wednesday’s market in the square at the midway point and that it was sweet corn season, Essek assumed he would take the more winding of the routes to pass by the quieter vegetable stand and the baker.

    It was not a overly long walk, but as Essek marched through the street, he bitterly thought that it was long enough to take time he worried he did not have.

    Summary

    What determines where you end up when you hold one location in your mind with intent, but touch a different teleportation token? Essek will consider this later. Instead, as he plunges into the ocean off the coast of Rumblecusp, his body and mind freeze.

    Essek does not have a first thought.

    His second thought is less of a thought, and more of the primal, deep scream of the body locking up from the combination of rapid temperature change and sudden immersion. Verbal, somatic, material: it is all irrelevant when one is unable to think or move.

    Essek accidentally teleports into the ocean while evading the Dynasty. 0/10 does not recommend.

    Summary

    On their second trip into Aeor, Caleb and Essek just wanted to end a long, tiring day by curling up in bed together. Maybe in another reality.

    “Herr Shadowhand,” he intones as flat and long-sufferingly as possible while the curl of his mouth trembles traitorously, “I thought we agreed, no more arcane bullshit today.”

    If Essek were currently capable of speech he’d have something endearingly bitchy to say about that, no doubt.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This is bloody fantastic. It's so in-character, comfortably in-universe, but goes deeper into the emotional beats - and to top it all off, the plot is darn interesting too. Highly, HIGHLY recommend.
