Summary
Magnus Bane is a professional journalist. He has interviewed politicians, artists, and eccentric personalities without batting an eye.
But no guest has ever thrown him off balance quite like Professor Alexander Gideon Lightwood.
Maybe it’s his calm voice.
Maybe his sharp, intelligent gaze.
Or maybe… it’s that damn pair of glasses. -

Summary
Magnus has come across a lot of suspicious people in his line of work as an investigative journalist, but none quite as suspicious as his coworker, Alec Lightwood.

No other reason.

Summary
Magnus is turned into a dragon and appears to be stuck that way. (This is not how he pictured his Tuesday going.)
Alec is called to handle a disturbance that involves a dragon and meets a creature that is scared and in need of protection.
Within minutes of meeting each other, they are inseparable, with Alec taking responsibility for the small dragon, and Magnus taking advantage of the protection offered by the shadowhunter.
Neither of them is expecting a convenient arrangement for them both to evolve into something much, much more.

(Magnus' son and Alec's sister as co-conspirators, that's what it's going to take!)

Summary
Magnus still doesn’t open his eyes or emerge from his hiding place, just on principle, but the confusion wakes him up enough that he could have. “Did you just kiss my knee?” he asks.
5 times Alec gets creative with kisses + 1 time Magnus does.

Summary
One of the world’s largest retailers is opening a store on his street. A bookstore. He looks down at the article in his hand again and catches sight of a phrase: “We hope that people will see this as more than a bookstore, and hope to foster a sense of community.” As if Henry Fox-Mountchristen has any concept of what community means.
Alex very narrowly does not break something.
(When global mega-retailer Mountchristen opens a new location—led by the infuriatingly attractive and insufferable Henry Fox-Mountchristen—near his LGBTQ-focused bookshop in Soho, Alex's comfortable life is turned upsided down. Luckily, he has one of his best friends to turn to: a guy he met online and knows only as H. Meanwhile, Henry is battling against his family to make a positive difference in the world and falling further in love with a man he's never met. But... what if they changed that?
Yes, it's a You've Got Mail AU.)
