    Summary

    “Should I address it to ‘the handsome dragon’ or…?”

    Alec practically swoons, dizzy at the realization Magnus is flirting with him. It’s likely a part of his act, a playfulness he uses with his fans, but Magnus doesn’t know what it does to him. How it makes him want to shower Magnus with gold and rare gems and jewelry and books, and makes him want to break his control and press his lips to Magnus’, which shine with some kind of gloss.

    “Alec Lightwood,” he manages to muster after a full six seconds of trying to reel himself in and calm himself down.

    Summary

    Magnus loves Alexander, his proud dragon Shadowhunter, and he knows that Shadowhunters don't display their relationships with collars the way Downworlders do. Magnus always thought he understood what that meant for him and Alec. As it turns out, Magnus didn't understand at all
    -
    In the early months of their relationship, Alec had let himself wonder about what kind of collar Magnus might offer him. Sometimes, he'd even indulge in the thought that Magnus would coordinate Alec’s collars with his own outfit, marking it clear who Alec belonged to every time they went out.
    And then Magnus doesn't ask.
    And doesn't ask.
    And doesn't ask.

    Summary

    “Alec!” Magnus drops to his knees next to him, his eyes wide and his hands fumbling as he tries to staunch the blood flow, magic sparking uselessly over his skin in failed attempts at healing.

    And Alec hates hearing Magnus beg, hates hearing the tears in his former lover’s voice. He fixes his gaze on the man who only weeks ago he had dreamed he would marry.

    “I can help,” Magnus promises wetly.

    Alec forces a smile on his face, finally managing to still Magnus’ hands with his own. “You can’t.”

    OR, the one in which Alec thinks he's dying in Edom and asks Magnus to pretend to love him one last time.

    Summary

    Magnus swallows. Alec deserves to have everything that he wants. And somehow, for some reason, Magnus is what he wants.
    Magnus thinks of Alec, begging Magnus just to pretend to love him, and— and Magnus can’t let him think that, not for a moment longer
    Alec could have— would have died, believing to the heart of him that Magnus didn’t love him.
    He doesn’t want Alec to have to beg for him. He doesn’t want Alec to live another moment not knowing how deeply loved, treasured, he was.

    A sequel to lawsofchaos' On The Sands Of Edom
