Summary
In which, after their break up and the events of Edom, Alec and Magnus never get back together. Alec refuses Magnus' offer to get back together, and stays single instead.
It takes place post-canon, after the events of the sixth book, City of Heavenly fire. Everyone is living their happily-ever-after.
Everyone except Alec. Isabelle and Jace think it's because Alec still misses Magnus. Yes, Alec still thinks about Magnus sometimes but he is hiding something else - or someone else.
Graeme Winterheart is a Shadowhunter and Alec's friend/crush/rival/bully from his childhood. Someone for whom Alec had unresolved feelings for a long time. A year after the events of Edom and their battle with Sebastian, Graeme makes an appearance in Alec's life again. This time, something more than just unresolved feelings and unspoken words blooms between them."What if I’ve already met someone who knows how to take care of my heart properly? He just doesn’t want to. Love is happening behind a closed door I don’t have the key to and the time will sail on either way, but my heart is a compass and being unloved is a lodestone I will be drawn to in every lifetime. And the navigator who holds my heart doesn’t even want it."
