    Summary

    Alec had always thought he’d known fear.

    Not just as a concept, but a living, breathing thing that existed inside him almost constantly. Those around him had taught him fear as a child. They’d told him of the demons that lurked in the dark, ready to take out anyone and everyone dear to him, and he’d been taught to work past that fear so he could do what needed to be done. They’d taught him to acknowledge it, embrace it, and move beyond it, until Alec did it instinctively, until that fear became almost nothing. A small thing barely even acknowledged.

    Alec had thought he’d known what fear was. That he’d felt, breathed, tasted it, a memory that would always remain burned into him in those deep, dark places where he hid all his hurt.

    He was wrong.

    Every time he thought he’d been truly afraid, life seemed to find a way to rise up and prove to him just how wrong he was. How much more fear there was for him to feel.

    It’d been Alec’s almost constant companion this past week. Ever since the evening where he’d gotten a phone call from Catarina, and she’d said those words to him, the words that had changed everything: “Magnus is missing.”

    Summary

    The sensation of blood-soaked metallic dirt beneath his cheek is insubstantial and fleeting, overlaid and then replaced with the smooth slide of cheap cotton and Alec jerks back into being entangled in the rough weave of Institute-standard sheets, agony shrieking down his side.

     

    In which the world burns the first time and Alec and Magnus break reality (to burn it down again the right way).

    Summary

    Alex gets the call at 7:57am.

    It’s from an unknown number, so he answers it with an accent on his tongue and laughter in his throat, ready to troll the scammer for all they’re worth. But the voice on the other side of the line is serious, solemn, when she asks, “Is this, I apologize, all I’ve been given are initials, AGCD?”

    He frowns, turning away from the coffee shop he’d been about to enter. “Who’s asking?”

    There’s a moment of hesitation on the other end. “There’s been an incident. On the individual's phone, there’s a sticker. It says, if found, return to AGCD, alongside this phone number. Does it sound familiar?”

    Alex freezes in the middle of the sidewalk. “What kind of incident?”

    --

    Or, Henry's been in an accident.
