    Summary

    DROP THE ACT is a post–Season 2 Episode 12 AU set after the body swap, where Alec’s trust in Magnus fractures at the exact moment Magnus himself is beginning to emotionally unravel.
    After centuries of responsibility, war and politics, Magnus Bane is exhausted in a way most mortals cannot understand. Not angry. Not cruel. Simply tired. And for someone as powerful and ancient as Magnus, that terrifies the people who truly know him.
    In the aftermath of New York, Alec, Jace and Isabelle are separated into hidden Shadowhunter institutions operating outside normal Clave ideology.
    As the siblings slowly rebuild themselves away from New York, Alec starts realising he never truly understood Magnus at all.
    Not the immortal. Not the political figure. Not the war survivor quietly holding entire systems together through sheer reliability while burning himself hollow in the process.
    Because Magnus was never simply Alec’s boyfriend.
    He was Magnus Bane first.
    DROP THE ACT is a psychological and political Shadowhunters AU about burnout, identity, institutional failure and the terrifying realisation that the world’s greatest protector may be approaching the point where saving everyone no longer feels worth it.

    Summary


    A shattered realm. A fading heartbeat. With Alec and the children trapped between worlds, Magnus and Jace must risk everything to bring them home.

    “What if this place eats magic?”

    Alec smiled faintly, though his vision was starting to swim. “Then we don’t use it. We do it the old-fashioned way—Lightwood-Banes don’t give up.”

    Alec, a member of the Resistance, Commander and Acting Head of New York. Magnus, known to the Shadowhunters only as Bane, one of the most powerful warlocks in the world.

    Summary


    Edom has fallen, and Magnus is home—but the Alliance rune on Alec’s skin still burns when all others fade. Magnus feels the dread behind every heartbeat, terrified that this time, love’s price might be Alec himself.

    “You’re warm,” Magnus murmured, fingertips brushing Alec’s wrist.

    Alec blinked. “We just came from Edom, Magnus. Everyone’s warm.”
