Dialect

It was the kind of love where words weren't everything, for they had learned to read each other and know the other so intimately that the use of vernacular seemed to be the convenient option when in the company of others.

Persian

There was something about Church that irked the warlock, but for the life of him Alec couldn't figure it out, and Magnus never answered when he asked about it.

Gems

When tiger eye met emerald, even though it was of harder make, sapphire broke.

Filth

"What makes you think you can come in when your dripping with fil….you could walk around the rugs you know!"

Cook

It was their first year anniversary and Magnus came home late after seeing a client and instead of having to order pizza he was shocked to find that the candle-lit table arrayed with plates of food that Alec had made for him ...and that they were not only edible but tasted amazing.

Little Boy Lost

It broke Robert's heart to see the centuries old warlock cry like a lost child as he held the unresponsive body of his eldest child.

Quiet

It was quiet nights like these that they loved the most because they could turn all the lights out, shut the door and simply lie in bed together, and be oblivious to the rest of the world.

Armour

When they fought it was a battle and between the two of them, there were enough shields put in to place to have stopped hell from rising.

Downpour

His hair was plastered to his head at odd angles, his body was covered in mud, and his lips were blue and the thick lashes that bordered his azure eyes were matted together and to Magnus, he never looked more beautiful.

Why

Looking back on how their relationship had first started and the drama it involved and looking at it now, made Alec wonder why he kept a secret from his family to begin with.
