Summary
Just because Alec keeps breaking the Clave's rules for his siblings, it doesn't mean he likes doing it. Doesn't mean he's ready to face the consequences for his own shortcomings in his own personal relationships. Especially, when he doesn't know what the rules are.
OR: Alec struggles in his relationship with Magnus because he doesn't know what the rules are. (Magnus didn't know there were rules.)

Summary
Alec is growing old. There is no way to fight it. He always thought about death and how Magnus would react when it came time for him to die, but he never considered what it was like to grow old while Magnus stayed young. He never thought about it until he starts living it.
He’s in his thirties when he gets his first gray hair.

Bookmarker's Notes
Excellent analysis of the Magnus-loses-his-magic, doesn't handle it well, Alec tries to fix, and fans blame Alec for talking away Magnus' agency when it was obvious Magnus couldn't cope without his magic.

Summary
“You’ll regret it,” Alec says before he can catch the words. He still can’t look at Magnus.
Magnus is quiet. “How can you think I’ll regret choosing you?”
Alec doesn’t answer. Didn’t you regret it last time?, he thinks.
“Please try to be happy for me,” Magnus says softly. “For us.”
And the thing is, Alec wants to be. He wants to bask in this, but he was selfish once before, blinded by it even, and he’s promised himself he’d never do that again.
(OR:
Magnus becomes mortal.)

Summary
Maryse returns the next morning to the shop, coffee in hand, eager to see what Magnus did with the place after she decided to turn in for the night. She isn’t sure what to expect - she told him not to stay too late, that she could always finish up whatever is left in the morning - but whatever she does expect, it isn’t to find Magnus sitting in one of the chairs in a corner reserved for reading. (a 3x18 coda)

Summary
Magnus becomes a fixture in his life. Given his lifestyle, Alec tends to consider that he doesn't get second chances - he's only got one shot at life - so he allows himself that one good thing and lets Magnus in.
That's his one shot at happiness, he knows.

Summary
"One of these days darling" He murmurs, leaning close enough to press the words against Alec's mouth "I'm going to ride you so hard and watch all those exquisite faces you make when you're close"
Alec of course, flushes predictably, pink spreading adorably from the tips of his ears and down to his chest, because despite having shared Magnus's bed for over three months now, despite having heard filthier, more sinful things spill regularly from his boyfriend's lips, he never seemed to be able to get used to them.
Still, while this particular shade of embarrassment was usually accompanied by lust that headed in the opposite direction as the color in his cheeks, it was now confusion that dominated instead.
“You- you’d want that?” Alec asks, blinking up at Magnus whose lips only curled in a devilish smirk.

Summary
Alec Lightwood lost three years, a name he once said like a prayer, and the shape of the life that held him.
Now, with a limp he didn’t earn and memories that won’t return, he is trying to stitch together something that feels like living—physiotherapy, wine-stained Friday dinners, polite conversations that feel like performances.
But when a stranger’s hand brushes his in a quiet grocery aisle, something in him stirs. Not a memory—something older. Something deeper.
A story of love after forgetting. And the quiet ache of being known by someone you can’t remember.
