Hi! This is my first attempt at a longer Malec fic, I guess it's not really a story but a bunch of snapshots and descriptions of photos they have in albums or framed around the apartment. I liked the idea that they would have many photos lying around, some will be from their trip overseas, from the Institute or just of the shenanigans they get up to.
I really want to point out that each point is not always going to begin with "A photo..." or anything similar as it just gets repetitive, just keep in mind they are descriptions of the photos they have. They are not in any particular order either.
I really hope you like it!
Magnus dressed as a matador chasing around Alec, who thought matadors were not supposed to do the chasing.
A really relaxed moment between Izzy, Jace and Alec who are all laughing at the camera, Jace in the middle, in Shadowhunter gear, with his arms around the other's shoulders.
A photo of a small boy with a mop of black. His legs are splayed out in front of him and he's holding a wrapped present, a goofy grin plastered on his face. Magnus would never tell Alec that he stole it from the Institute because he thought it was too cute.
Magnus with a carefree smile in nothing but a coconut bra and a grass skirt over his shorts on their side trip to Hawaii. It took Alec several tries to take the photo because he was laughing so hard.
Izzy, dressed in a bright red, form fitting dress with a tiara on her head, and Magnus, wearing a sparkly, deep blue blazer and silver shirt, pulling pouty faces at the camera during Isabelle's 18th birthday party.
Jace and Alec with their arms wrapped around each other and a fresh parabatai rune on their skin after the ceremony.
Alec lying on the sofa, fast asleep, an open book about demons in hand with Chairman Meow, who was also asleep, in the crook of his elbow. Magnus couldn't stop himself from taking a photo of his two babies.
Magnus placing a kiss on Alec's cheek, while he looked down to his feet when they were caught in the rain in Paris, a colourful umbrella that was held by Alec serving as a background for the photo and their only shelter.
Alec and Magnus sitting cross-legged on the floor with millions of cherry blossom tress behind them when they went to Japan during Hanamai (blossom viewing).
A group photo of Jace, Clary, Simon, Izzy, Jordan, Maia, Alec and Magnus squished close together: Maia in front of Jordan with his arms around her waist, Izzy pecking Simon on the cheek, Jace and Clary smiling gently and Magnus pulling Alec close by the hips.
Alec standing next to a man dressed as a Roman soldier, staring wearily as the man posed with a bloodied sword. Magnus had to force Alec to refrain from trying to compare weapons, telling him that the man's one was not real.
Magnus in the middle of pulling Alec on top of him for a kiss while they were lying on the grass in Central Park. A light blush already prominent on Alec's grinning face.
Alec and Magnus sitting on a rock next to a giant tortoise in the Galapagos Islands, only to find out later that they were sitting on another tortoise shell.
Magnus 'trying to fit in' wearing a khaki shirt and shorts, pretending to hide in the long grass while Alec stood to the side of him, taking photos of a herd of elephants off in the distance when they were on Safari in South Africa.
After much convincing, Magnus got a picture of Alec kissing the Blarney Stone in County Cork in Ireland. He looked quite ridiculous considering in order to do it properly Alec had to sit down, arch his head back into the deep crevice and kiss the stone upside down, while gripping two iron railings.
Alec and Magnus equipped with scuba gear, heads just above the water's surface, smiling with their snorkels, before they dived down to explore the Great Barrier Reef.
Magnus wearing a black and white striped shirt and hat, in the middle of trying to convince their guide to let him steer the gondola as they travelled down the narrow passages in Venice.
A close up of Magnus pulling Alec into an unexpected kiss.
A young family photo at Alec's 11th birthday - him sitting in the middle with a blazing cake on the table, Izzy giving a toothy smile holding a small Max in her arms off to Alec's left and a sulking Jace to his right (he was just upset it wasn't his birthday).
Magnus copying the pose of a glass cased terra cotta warrior, trying not to laugh.
A bird's eye view looking down on a bare-chested Magnus and Alec, who were smiling up as they lay on Magnus' bed for the first official night they would share since Alec moved in.
Alec lying face down on the bed in their hotel room in London after Magnus dragged him around shopping for ten hours.
Magnus in his green silk pajamas and purple dressing gown with gold trim surrounded by a ridiculous amount of Easter eggs after Alec got up at 4AM to hide them so his boyfriend could have an Easter egg hunt.
The apartment's living room littered with magazines, books and shredded pieces of tissue everywhere and Chairman Meow sitting in the very middle of the mess, looking up innocently. Alec had told Magnus he couldn't be mad if he was the one who left the tissue box on the coffee table in the first place.
Magnus, shirtless, lying stomach down with a vibrant red rose between his teeth and rose petals scattered around him on the bed for their first Valentine's Day together. Behind the camera Alec was blushing violently.
Did you like the first round? Please tell me what you thought! Reviews are always awesome!
On a side note, some of these places I've been to and experienced and in here they are jazzed up Malec-style, but most I have not, I did check if my facts are correct (and hopefully they still are) but I wouldn't really know.
Also, if there is anything you'd like to suggest, feel free :)
