Summary
When Alec Lightwood was born, he was abandoned.
He was sent to a completely different country, where he received Shadowhunter training.
Without knowing that Lightwood blood ran through his veins, he displayed his talents.
All he knew about his family was that they had died, and the only thing left from them was his name.
Alexander — or Alec.
Now, he was heading to New York for a long-term mission.

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."

Summary
Alec Gideon Lightwood, oldest son of Maryse and Robert Lightwood has many burdens on his shoulders. Most importantly, he has to live up to his family name. He isn't too sure about being able to live up to his parents' high standards and he doesn't know in whom he can confide. Certainly not with his siblings he wants to protect them at all costs. Thankfully, a strange find after a night full of demon hunting might change things for the better. Alec certainly feels this way. Who would have thought that a stray black cat with golden eyes could make such an impact in his stressful life. (I suck at summaries!)

Summary
Alec and Jace have become fast friends in the few months Alec has been living in New York. Jace is smart, fun, loyal and also, apparently in love with one of the most popular guy at school, Magnus Bane.
That's so unfortunate, right? It's not that Alec dislikes Magnus, why would he? It is just that he has had this crush on Jace for so long and, anyway, the senior student seems rather unattainable, like he's living on another plane of existence that he shouldn't really worry about him.
And so, Alec wonders... how the Hell is it possible that tomorrow he will go on a date... with Magnus Bane?Series

Summary
Alec Lightwood likes to be in charge- of his siblings, at the Institute, in battle. It was what he was comfortable with, it was the only thing he's ever known. Only... he hadn't exactly considered how that might come into play in a relationship. Can he keep his darker urges hidden and in control while he attempts to be normal? Or will his self control thin and show what he really is to Magnus? Can the warlock handle it? Will he even want to?
(The answer to that last question is an enthusiastic yes)

“Max, talk, no screaming, please,” Alec muttered, watching as his son tried to get off the baby chair. “You’re gonna hurt yourself, come on, it’s good soup, look.”
He sipped some of it with his own spoon, but Max didn’t want to watch his father eat that hideous meal. He put the soup down on the table and tried to get Max back on the chair. It was the wrong move. Max slammed his hands on the plate, sending all the soup into the air.
“MAX!”

He played.
It came with ease he didn’t even know he had.
The soft mellows sound of the piano flowed in the room easing the tension that Alec didn’t even know was present on his shoulders. He didn’t know what he was playing, didn’t even know what notes he was using, but whatever it was came with an effortless tapping of his fingers like his memory was in full sync with him as he pushed on keys and then continued like he was on autopilot.

“ I don’t love you,” Alec whispered, his voice breaking. He shoved weakly at Magnus’ chest, but Magnus didn’t budge, his alpha presence looming over Alec, keeping him rooted in place.
Magnus’ thumb stroked the nape of Alec’s neck, grounding him even as he felt Alec’s body tremble under his touch. “I’m not letting you run from this. From me. Now, tell me the truth.”
