Malec Tales Series 2: Chapter Twelve- Love Thaws.

Alec Pov- "Alec… come on Alec wake up. You don't have time for this."

Jace's voice broke through my dark haze, making me frown in confusion. Wait, what happened? The last thing I remember was Jonathan putting out the fire keeping me warm and locking me in a room to die. How was Jace here?

"Come on Alec please," Clary begged, her voice also pushing passed the haze.

It took every ounce of strength left in me to open my heavy eyes and looked up toward the voice. Jace and Clary were both staring down at me, looks of panic on their faces. When they saw that my eyes were open, they sighed with relief.

"Thank god you are alright," Clary sighed.

I frowned, slowly glancing around the room. "H-how did you find me," I asked weakly. It seems the time I slept helped me regain some of my voice.

"It was me," Simons voice hit my ears making me look over toward the window. He was standing by it, close to the glass so that it would keep him cool. It took me till now to realize that the fireplace was once again lit.

"How did you know where to find me Simon? You didn't even follow us inside the castle."

He got distracted by the shopping stalls on the way to the palace since it was something he had never seen before. He ended up too far ahead of us until completely being out of sight. I wanted to find him so he didn't get himself in trouble, but I was far too weak and Jace said we couldn't waste time on the snowman.

"I was walking up to the castle when I heard the sound of tapping. When I looked up toward it, I saw you in the window bagging on it and looking like you were screaming bloody murder. Not knowing what was happening to you, I ran to find Clary and Jace as fast as I could. We located the room that went to the window, and Jace kicked the door down and started a fire for you. I immediately started melting, so I figured I should stay over here for now."

Huh, out of all the people I thought would save my life, I never would have guessed Simon. It seems I underestimated him.

I smiled weakly at him, leaning more into Jace for warmth. "Thank you Simon."

Losing my smile, I looked back up at Jace and Clary. "Y-you were right about everything. Jonathan never loved me. H-he only wanted t-to marry me for my c-crown."

The temperature in the room felt like it dropped to an almost unsurvivable temperature. My teeth were chattering as I rubbed my arms. Clary grabbed a blanket off the couch before wrapping it around me.

"Things are getting worse Alec. You have been out for a whole hour. Jonathan told everyone that you two exchanged wedding vows before you died in his arms. People are looking at him as the next king and he has sentenced Magnus to death for murdering you. He is going to be beheaded any minute."

I gasped, trying to sit up but my body wouldn't allow it. I cursed at my uselessness before looking back at Clary. "It's not true. J-Jonathan lied about e-everything. We n-need to get to M-magnus right now."

There was no way I could just sit back and let Magnus get killed. Especially for something he didn't even do. God, no wonder it's even colder than before. He thinks he murdered me. All the effort he put into keeping me safe was wasted… and it was all my fault.

I decided to become engaged to Jonathan. I got fed up with the silence and made Magnus lash out. I pushed Magnus to bring back the summer and freaked him out again. Then I was dumb enough to have Jonathan go retrieve him from the mountain.

I'm such an idiot.

Jace and Clary stood up, both of them helping me to my feet. My legs shook as I stood, but I ignored it, stumbling my way to the door. "We need to get to him before it's too late. Magnus doesn't deserve to be executed."

A loud gasp came from Simon, making us all look at him. "They are bringing Magnus to the gallos right now!"

"We don't have time to get down there. What are we going to do," Clary asked panicking. I thought about it for a moment before looking at Jace.

"Go break the window. There is no way we will get to the town square in time with all the long hallways. I need to get to him right now even if it means going out the window."

Jace didn't hesitate. He grabbed a small coffee table and looked at Simon. "I would move unless you want to have ice shards sticking out of your body."

Simon quickly jumped off the window bench and ran over to Clary and I, hiding behind my leg. Jace nodded at him before smashing the table through the glass, making it shatter.

"Break the legs off the table. There should be enough snow on the roof to sled down," I ordered. Jace frowned, looking over the table. "There is no way all of us will fit on this. You need to be the one to go down."

Clary frowned at the suggestion. "Alec can barely stand on his own right now. How is he possibly going to get to Magnus without our help?"

"I will find a way. We can't waste time here talking about this." I moved away from Clary, limping over to the window. Jace set the table out the window before taking my arm, helping me climb on top of it. I sat on the man made sled before nodding my head at him. He nodded back before giving me a push.

The sled sped down the different twist and turns on the roof, shooting me into the air once I was at the edge. I braced myself for the landing, my body being flung off the sled from how hard it was. I rolled across the courtyard before stopping on my stomach.

My body acked, begging me not to get up. To just lay there and accept my fate. There was no way I could just let Magnus be killed. If I couldn't fight for myself, then I will fight for him.

Because Magnus was the most important thing in the world.

Gritting my teeth, I pushed myself onto my hands and knees, before struggling to my feet. My body wobbled for a moment until I gathered my barings. Once I was able to stand, I forced my legs to limp forward, making my way out of the palace courtyard and to the gates.

Magnus Pov- The cell door creaked loudly as the guards opened it. It was time for my execution but I couldn't even bring myself to care. Alec was dead. What right did I have to fight for the right to live?

I deserved to die. The kingdom is frozen over because of me. Alec lost his life because I couldn't control my emotions or my magic. There was no reason for me to even think about fighting back and stopping this. I didn't want to live in a world where Alec wasn't alive.

"It's time," Jonathan Morgenstern said standing at the cell door with his arms behind his back. He was wearing a crimson red military suit with gold shoulder tassels, white pants with a sword hanging off his side, and long black boots.

He looked like a prince right out of a fairytale. Too bad it's all a facade.

"Have anything you want to say before you meet your end," he asked, a smirk sneaking up the corner of his mouth. I kept silent, not saying a word. I wasn't going to give him any satisfaction in my last moments. He was an even bigger monster than I was.

My silence seemed to annoy him because he turned away and directed the guards to grab me. They were hesitant, but made their way passed him and up to me, unhooking the chains from the wall. They got a good grip on the chains before pulling me by them out of the cell.

I followed them without a fight. It surprised me how empty the palace dungeons actually were. There hasn't been a royal to place judgment on people who do bad things in the kingdom, so there are higher up guards who make the decision on wither or not they should be guilty. If they are, then they either get put in the town jail or executed, depending on the type of crime.

The thought of execution made my stomach dropped. I was heading to that very spot right now, about to be beheaded. What will happen when I die? Will the summer fix itself? Maybe it will get ten times worse and everyone in the kingdom will either be frozen over or die of hyperthermia.

I really don't want to think about that possibility. My people didn't do anything wrong. They didn't deserve to be stranded in this wintery hell I created. If there was a way for me to fix it then I would but there isn't. There's nothing that can help me control my powers.

The guards pulled me outside and even with all the snow flurrying around, the brightness after being left in the dark for so long still managed to blind me. I squinted my eyes at it before being practically dragged across the castle courtyard. Jonathan stood next to me the entire time, pretending to look angry with grief over Alec's death.

If anyone was grieving, it was me. Alec was my best friend, the man I loved and I killed him. There is no way I could ever live with that fact. When I was a child I imagined a future where I would be king and would ask Alec to be my queen. He would refuse of course, because Alec doesn't see himself as someone worthy of being my queen. I wouldn't stop nagging him about it though until we were finally married and living happily ever after just like a fairytale.

Life is nothing like a fairytale.

When you get cursed, love doesn't break the spell. Trying to be someones knight doesn't always mean you will save the person you're fighting for. There is no such thing as happily ever after.

The gallows were in sight and nerves started to eat away at me. How could I not be nervous? I was about to die. It was okay though, because it will be fast and swift. I'll be dead instantly and maybe get to be with Alexander and my parents again.

The thought of that made the nerves leave my body all at once. I missed my parents so much. My fathers encouraging words, my mothers warm hugs and spanish lullabies. Then there was Alexander. Could we possibly finally be together once i'm dead? Maybe the magic will no longer keep us apart.

Maybe he wouldn't want me. I killed him after all.

We stepped onto the steps of the gallows before I was led to the middle of it. Jonathan shoved me to my knees and the guards connected the end of my chains to the stage. I took a chance to glance up, seeing the townspeople gather around in a crowd. I was expecting anger to be plain on their faces, but to my shock, they all stared at me sadly.

They know I killed Alec right? Why were they looking at me like they were sad to see me go? Maybe it's because of how long they have been waiting for me to be king. They all had such high hopes for me, and I let them down. They weren't sad for my death, they were sad for my failure.

I failed them as a king. I cursed them with this eternal winter and then killed the only other eligible heir of our kingdom. Now they were stuck with a king from Edom, the Kingdom most known for not being the fairest in their treatment of their people. I hated Edom. That was the last place my parents went before they died.

"Anything you wish to say to the people you betrayed," Jonathan asked looking down at me. I just closed my eyes in silence, not going to say a word. There was no excuse I could give them that would make any of this right.

"Very well then," he growled passed clenched teeth. He pulled the sword at his side out of its sheath before getting a good grip of it with both his hands. Normally the executioner would do the executioning, but Jonathan whined about wanting vengeance for his late husband, so the guards allowed it.

"In the name of the late Prince Alexander Lightwood of Alicante, I sentence you to death."

I closed my eyes tight bracing myself for the feeling of sharp iron slicing through my neck. Would I even feel it, or would I be dead instantly. It was something I didn't want to think about, so instead I just kept my eyes shut and prepared for the impact.

Moments passed and nothing happened. Gasps came from the crowd and I frowned, wondering what they were reacting to. My head was still attached to my body, so I know they aren't gasping at me.

Daring to peek my eye open, I looked back toward Jonathan to see what was taking him so long. A gasp left my lips at what I saw instead. A blue ice sculpture of a man stood between Jonathan and I. He had his hand up and his fingers wrapped around the blade of the sword so it was stuck in his grasp. Jonathan looked at the sculpture with eyes wide in horror before getting back to his senses. Gritting his teeth, he tried pulling the sword back but it wouldn't budge out of the sculptures grip. It was as strong as Exalabor in the stone from the King Author stories.

I leaned over, wanting to see the face of the sculpture, confused by it's random appearance. Did I mentally conjure it up with my magic? I've never been able to do that before.

A gasp of my own left my lips as I saw Alexanders face. How was this possible? Jonathan said he had died. Was that all a lie? He didn't lie about me striking Alec in the heart. His frozen form was proof that I hurt him.

"Alec!" I shot magic out of my hands, freezing over the shackles covering them before slamming them against the platform, making them shatter. Jonathan backed up in surprise but it was too late. I swiped my hand, sending an icy blast out, making Jonathan and the guards go flying off the platform.

I stood up making my way around Alec so I was standing in front of him. "Alec, don't worry, you're going to be okay. I'll fix you. I'll make you better again."

Tears stinging my eyes I placed my hands on his face, trying to force the ice to melt and free him from it's grasp. It didn't do anything. He just stared straight ahead at me with ice like eyes that were even bluer than usual.

I choked on a sob, leaning forward and pressing my forehead to his. "No… Alec please no. You need to live. I'm a monster, I deserve to die, but not you! Never you! You're an angel! You're the only person in the whole world who kept trying to get through to me! I love you! I love you so much so you can't leave me now!"

Alec stayed frozen, no amount of magic or words being able to unthaw him. I gritted my teeth before wrapping my arms around him, holding him close like I should have done a long time ago.

"Do you wanna build a snowman," I sobbed softly, holding onto him tighter.

I can't count all the time Alec asked me that question. When we were younger, he would spend every day off outside my door, asking me at least once if I wanted to build a snowman. Even when it wasn't winter he would ask me, which would make me panic about him possibly remembering that I had magic. Turns out it was just something he asked out of habit.

"Alec please, I love you. Please stay with me," I whispered, holding onto him even tighter.

The sound of metal hitting the ground caught my ears before I was warmed with the feeling of strong arms encasing me. I looked up, tears trailing down my cheeks and a happy sob escaped my lips, seeing an unfrozen Alec looking down at me.

"Thank god," I sobbed, cupping his face in my hands and looking him over, making sure he wasn't injured. He looked better than okay. His eyes were his usual gorgeous blue, and his hair was completely black, not a shred of white in sight.

He looked around confused before looking back at me frowning. "Magnus, i'm so glad I got to you in time. Don't believe anything Jonathan said. We aren't married, I would never marry him. You froze my heart and I was trying to get to you because only an act of true love could save me. I love you and there was no one else that even came to mind when thinking about who could save me. Jonathan stopped me though and told me you were going to be executed. I could never let them kill you Magnus. I rather sacrifice myself before letting anything happen to you."

I smiled happily pressing my forehead to his again. "You were literally freezing to death yet you came all the way out here to save me?"

He nodded smiling back at me. "I love you, of course I would come save you."

I closed my eyes before leaning forward and kissing him on the mouth. He kissed me back, wrapping his arms around my neck and pulling me closer. An unfamiliar warm feeling spread throughout my body going all the way down to my toes. It was as if I could feel my heart thawing as well.

We broke the kiss smiling at each other before Alec looked passed my shoulder and gasped. I turned to see what he was looking at, my eyes widening in shock. The snow and ice was vanishing around us, bright green grass and sunlight taking its place.

The townspeople looked around confused, yet looked amazed by the blue shimmering magic that was lifting up into the air with the snow. I looked up at the magic before looking back at Alec smiling.

"I did it… but how?"

Alec smiled grabbing my hands and entwining our fingers. "Love Magnus. Love thaws,"

I looked around at the now unfrozen town before smiling back at him. "My love for you."

A slight blush spread across Alec's face but he smiled, leaning forward and pressing his lips to mine. "Your love for me."

I kissed him back before the sound of groaning made me pull away. Alec and I both turned around, seeing Jonathan sitting on the ground rubbing his head from hitting it on the ground from my blast.

He looked around confused before looking up at us, his eyes widening at the sight of Alec. "Alec… how are you here?"

Alec frowned at him "Well after you left me for dead I found my way out of that room and to Magnus where he saved me like I knew he would."

I growled, my hand forming ice around it to blast the bastard again but Alec stopped me by putting his hand on my chest, shaking his head no. "I got this."

He walked up to Jonathan, getting to his level and I prayed to god that he would punch him right in his pretty face. To my disappointment, he held his hand out to help Jonathan up to his feet. The blonde hesitated before putting his hand in Alec's and letting him pull him up.

Alec didn't let go of his hand as he looked up at him seriously. "I know it hurt you that your dad took away your crown, but this is not the way to go about it. You do not have to be what your family thinks you are. You also don't have to be a king to be respected and happy. There is so much more to life then that."

He frowned at that looking down at their joint hands before looking back up at him. "Why are you being nice to me? I tried taking over your kingdom and killing you and Magnus."

Alec nodded. "You did and it was shitty of you. I'd like to believe that a part of you really did want to help me with Magnus. We may not ever be together romantically but I do think we could be friends… you know, if you don't try killing me and stealing Magnus's crown again."

Jonathan starred at Alec for a long moment before taking his hand away. He looked over at the blonde and redhead that came with Alec to my ice castle, frowning at them before looking back at him. Alec seemed hopeful but his shoulders dropped in disappointment when Jonathan turned and walked away.

Alec frowned watching him before turning around to face me. I smiled sadly at him, holding my hand out for his. He smiled sweetly before grabbing my hand. "Hopefully he will come around someday."

I couldn't agree with Alec's way of thinking. Jonathan tried to take Alec, my crown, and my life. There was no way I could ever forget that. Alec wasn't like me though. He tried to see the good in everyone and everything. I guess I should be grateful for that. It's what helped him originally look passed my powers and accept me when we were children.

"King Magnus." One of the guards walked up, taking off his helmet and holding it over his heart in a sign of respect. "We are so sorry about everything. The guard should have never turned their backs on you. With everything that happened we and your people didn't know what to think."

I turned toward my people who were all staring up at me with sad and regretful face. "You have no reason to feel guilty. I didn't mean to freeze our kingdom. I've been hiding these powers all my life, afraid you wouldn't be able to accept them. I hope to be wrong. Yes, I have magic, but I promise to use that magic to defend our kingdom. I'll use my rine as king to make your lives easier and hopefully make you happy. If only you would let me try."

Everyone looked around at each other hesitant before one by one they bowed to me, showing that they accepted me as their king. I sighed with relief before smiling back at Alec. He wrapped his arm around mine, laying his head on my shoulder and looking out at our kingdom.

Six Months Later

Alec Pov- "It's too white. Can't I have a little bit of black or gray in it," I whined, looking over the white military uniform I was wearing.

Clary and Isabelle both smacked my arm, making me rub them in pain. "Um, ow!"

Clary rolled her eyes. "This is your coronation Alec. It's traditional for the Queen to wear all white."

I rolled my eyes at that. "Can we please stop calling me a queen. It's starting to hurt my ego a bit."

"Oh come on," Jace teased, leaning against the wall. "You were already a blushing bride last weekend. Why wouldn't you also be a queen?"

"Yeah I'm disowning you all," I grumbled walking away from them and making my way out the room. They all followed me, laughing. "Don't be so moody Alec," Isabelle teased. "We are only messing with you."

"Enough out of all of you. Go to the church and get seated. I want to talk to Magnus before we get started. Oh, and make sure Simon doesn't get into the cake like he did during my wedding."

They all put their hands up in surrender before walking passed me, finally doing something I asked of them for the first time in their lives. I guess I shouldn't complain. Clary and Jace are going to be going back to Edom after this, so I should enjoy their company while I can.

As for Simon, he isn't going anywhere. When the summer came back, Magnus and I found him as a puddle in the middle of the courtyard. I completely freaked out and made Magnus bring him back to life. He was able to do it and make a small flurry appear over his head to keep him cool.

Now it was December and he only needed it when he was inside. This was maybe the most amazing winter the kingdom has ever had. Now that Magnus felt comfortable using his powers, he's able to control them better. Sure, he still has his freak outs sometimes but Ragnor and Catarina usually shove calming potions down his throat when that happened. I've become very close with them as well.

I made my way down the hall and stopped in front of Magnus's door, hesitating on knocking. Even after everything that has changed, I still felt worried about knocking on Magnus's door. All those years of knocking and no one answering. I would hate for those days to come back.

Holding my breath I knocked on the door, waiting for him to answer. To my relife the door opened, revealing Magnus on the other side of it smiling. "I was wondering when you were going to be ready. The coronation will begin any minute."

He skimmed me over with his eyes smiling happily. "My queen looks very regal."

"Don't you start too," I whined making him laugh.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it. It's the last time I swear."

I pouted, crossing my arms over my chest. "So mean." I lost my pout, now frowning nervously. "Are you sure I should be a ruler along side you? I don't really have anything to offer."

"Alec we are married. It would be weird if you stayed my servant. I want you to rule with me and I think you have so much to offer. You don't need royal lessons to be a good king."

"You keep saying that but i'm having a hard time believing you."

"Well stop. I have faith in you and you need to have faith in yourself." He swiped his hand and made a crystal snowflake appear in his hand before clipping it onto my uniform. "I have always imagined this day, almost as much as our wedding way. That was perfect and this one will be too. We will be nothing but happy from here on out Alec. I promised you that when we said our vows."

I nodded smiling. "I know and I believed you. I'm just a little nervous."

He grabbed my hand, kissing my knuckles. "Well put away those nerves. Everyone is going to love you, just like I do."

I smiled happily, not able to help myself. Magnus always knew just what to say to make me stop worrying.

"You ready to be a king?"

I took a deep breath before nodding, wrapping my arm around his and laying my head on his shoulder. "As long as I have you I'll be ready for anything."

A/N: Happy ending! I wouldn't hurt you guys twice in a row.Now that series 2 is over it's finally time for series 3 the Mulan AU.For anyone who doesn't remember, the summery is this:

Tessa already lost her last husband Will Herondale to was, and when James gets called to fight, Magnus takes it onto himself to keep Tessa happy.

He takes Jame's place, a Downworlder pretending to be a Shadowhunter. Easy right? Oh he was so wrong. Between avoiding applying the runes to his skin, training his body properly, and being annoyed to death by a young Nephilim named Jace Herondale, he doesn't see a way he can get through it.

That is, until he meets the training general, Alexander Lightwood. Magnus immidiatly falls for the blue eyed beauty, but how can he form a relationship while also keeping being a warlock a secret?
