should we start a Malec day? I wouldn’t mind lots more art of Magnus and Alec.
YES I ASKED MYSELF THE SAME QUESTION YESTERDAY WHY DON’T WE HAVE OUR OWN DAY? (And why is November 10th Heronstairs Day anyway? They just pick a random day or there is a reáon behind it i’m curious)
The Bane Chronicles Chapter 10 – The Course of True Love (And First Dates) – Illustration by Cassandra Jean
I’ve always been drawn to the pairing of the outgoing, colorful, wild-child character with the quiet, steady, strong character. (You can even see a little of that in Henry and Charlotte.) I love the idea that Magnus, who is like this explosion of confidence and fireworks and power, is drawn to the quietest of the Lightwoods, the one who doesn’t make a big deal about his strength or his looks, because for him Alec can be solid ground. And for Alec, Magnus can be a way toward opening up and letting himself be as brave in his emotional life as he is as a demon hunter.

I really want Born to Endless night, to go as followed:
1. Magnus brings the baby home to his apartment in Brooklyn where he lives with Alec and Chairman Meow.
2. Alec isn’t too happy about it
3. Magnus wants to keep the baby, Alec doesn’t
4. Alec and Magnus have a long, meaningful talk about immortality and the impact it has on their lives and the baby’s and what it really means for their future together.
5. Alec turns out to be a natural talent at parenting when he’s forced to take care of the baby when Magnus has to run out for an emergency
6. Alec changes his mind, they have another important talk about their future and the baby can stay.I honestly don’t understand why you thought Alec wouldn’t happy about this? They’re not adopting that baby warlock, they just take care of her for a while until the Clave or someone find the right home for her. Maybe they will end up adopt her at the end of the chapter but i think at the beginning none of them will think about that. So i see no reason for Alec to be unhappy, he is a good person & wont mind take care of a child for a few days (or weeks). And if there is someone who is unhappy about it i will say it’s Magnus. He is 400 years old. In all that time, if he was interested in having children, he would have a few by now
I kind of want Alec to realise that having a baby around makes the difference Mortal/ Immortal bigger and he doesn’t like the confrontation. It’s has little to do with the baby itself. But more with what she/he represents. What their future could look like and if that is what he wants etc. So that Magnus and Alec can have that important, serious talk I have been waiting for since they started dating.
How exactly having a baby around makes the difference Mortal/Immortal bigger i still don’t get it can you explain?
And actually they did talk about their live in the future at the end of CoHF. Just because the talk wasn’t what you expecting doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Alec knew what their future would look like when he agreed to get back with Magnus. He knew that he can always find a normal shadowhunter & have a normal life but he didn’t chose that path, he chose this difficult path & he acknowledged that this is a difficult path. Alec’s decision at the end of CoHF is a huge one & he didn’t just agree in the heat of the moment, Alec is not stupid.
Honestly, i’m pretty tired of this immortal/mortal talk people want Malec to have, because they talked about it enough already in the last 3 books. First they fought because of it (actually they fought because Magnus refused to talk about his immortal life), then they broke up because of it (to be exact they broke up because Alec tried to take away Magnus’ immortality) and at last they accepted it, that there is nothing they can change & they will live with it because they love each other. What else they can talk about? Seriously i cant think of anything. There is literally no solution for this problem (as for now) so no matter how many more times they talk about it the result will be just the same.
Yes immortality is a big issue in their relationship but i think the biggest issue is “trust”. Magnus didn’t trust Alec with his past, Alec didn’t trust that Magnus loves him more than his ex-lovers etc. And that issue was resolved in CoHF, when Magnus gave Alec the book about his past, and when he told Alec how different Alec is compare to others.
Just so people know, it’s not legal for Magnus and Alec to get married until 2011 in New York. Shadowhunter laws go by the state laws of wherever they are. So assuming TSA happens more than a year after COHF (which, by logic, most of it does seeing how the prologue takes place a…
I never read it but apparently in that extra book ( I think its called Shadowhunter and Downworlder) it says Shadowhunters can marry a downworlder. ( I thought too, that it was not legal for them to get married but someone told me about that book and even uploaded a pic but I can’t find it now)
So NOPE, it totally would be ok for them to get married since they don’t follow mundane law but shadowhunter law.
I have the book, so I took a quick look. I still haven’t really gotten around to reading it, oops. It does say it’s allowed. Though it is highly frowned upon, since no children can be born because Warlocks are infertile. Then the only problem would be that they are both men and they will indeed have to wait till 2011, in order to get married.
Again I think that is not a big problem. Since gay marriage thing is mundane stuff. If the Clave approves of their marriage it’s probably ok.
They all know about them anyway and know that Alec will never get a shadowhunter kid so..
Also since both played a big part in saving the Shadowhunter world it probably will be “oked”
As ridiculous as it sounds, the Clave do follow mundane’s laws (this is from The Shadowhunter’s Codex)
And even they’re “heroes” of the war, that doesn’t mean they get special treatment, we’re talking about the Clave after all (look at how they treat Jace in the previous books & their ridiculous desicions at the end of CoHF). So sorry to disappoint you but I also think they will have to wait utill 2011 to get married

They hand the child over to guest lecturer Magnus Bane, who has to bring the child home… temporarily, of course… to his man!
EXCUSE YOU?!?!?!?! Why does this have to be the 9th chapter?!?!?!?! Why can’t you release it sooner?!?!?! I have absolutely no interest in this book except for this!
Un-beta’d, hope the grammar isn’t that bad. I just wanted to post it because I had totally forgotten about having written it and I liked it. 🙂
The first time Alec woke up next to Magnus he got startled so badly that he fell out of the bed effectively waking up the warlock as well.
“Oh dear, do I look that terrifying in the morning?” Alec could hear Magnus’ voice over the edge of the bed. It sounded mostly joking, but there was still that fine trace of worry mixed within. Alec chuckled softly to himself as he tried to untangle his legs from the blanket he’d unceremoniously taken own with him. After some struggling he gave up and simply sat up to peek over the edge of the bed this way and make sure that Magnus hadn’t taken his lack of an answer the wrong way.
What he didn’t expect was that in the meantime Magnus had moved forward to Alec’s side of the bed as well and when Alec sat up he was suddenly face to face with his boyfriend.
It was an experience he was still lacking the rights word for, even if it was only in his own mind. The fact alone that he actually had a boyfriend made little fireworks erupt in his chest sometimes. And just when he’d remember how to properly use his lungs again he would be reminded that said boyfriend was Magnus Bane and his whole world would turn upside down all over again.
The mere thought of waking up every morning to those stunning eyes, to that smile … being woken by that smooth voice …
“I’m still waiting for my answer, darling”, Magnus whispered light teasing lacing his words. Alec felt his lips stretching into a broad smile that he couldn’t control and didn’t want to. He didn’t say anything though. He just leaned forward pressing his lips against Magnus’. Soft pressure spoke more than a thousand words wold have been able to.
Alec felt his heart sore, but only partly because of the kiss … mostly just because he could do this. He could kiss Magnus and he would be kissed back. He could show affection in a way he had always dreamed about. He didn’t have to be afraid to be alone, die alone. There was somebody he could curl up against when he felt down.
He could share an intimacy that was entirely his own. It was his very own little world and it didn’t consist of fear and shadow anymore.
It felt amazing.
“God, I love your smile”, Magnus sighed against Alec’s lips which made the shadowhunter chuckle again.
“Lucky me”, he whispered, “I only have that one.”
Magnus, the sparkling glittery Warlock, appeared at the Institute with no make-up.
He didn’t have time to wear his best clothes and put on a large amount of glitter.
He had to rush to his blue eyed baby Alec, who was in pain.
