Summary
Ten years ago Alexander Lightwood woke up to find his whole life turned upside down. The pain he’d been feeling for days had finally stopped, but in its place it left behind a magic he didn’t want and a mark he was sure he’d never be able to hide. Terrified of what his family might do, he ran away from home, sure that whatever waited out on the streets couldn’t be worse than what he’d find if he stayed.
It was by sheer luck that he happened to be found by Luke Garroway. Through him, Alec met Dot, the woman who would become both teacher and guardian, and he met the small, fierce little girl who would eventually become his best friend.
Over the years that passed, Alec learned to control his magic, and he’d made himself a life and a home. Maybe it wasn’t the one he’d expected to have, but it was his.
Only now, things are happening that threaten to tear that life apart. His old life is crashing into his new, and Alec was going to have to make some hard choices on who he could and couldn’t trust.

Summary
In his time as both Acting Head and later as official Head of the Institute, Alec Lightwood had dealt with a lot of people. Not just shadowhunters, but various Downworlders. It’d been necessary as the war with Valentine had raged on, and as the newest fireball in their life had sort of smashed her way through all the barriers between shadowhunters and Downworlders.
Because of her connections to them, he’d had a few dealings with the local wolf pack, and through her friend he’d been forced to deal with the leader of the local vampire coven.
But there was one that Alec hadn’t met. Magnus Bane, the High Warlock of Brooklyn.

Summary
When Alexander Lightwood was a young boy, he’d always known he was different.
There’d never been any words for that feeling, nothing to explain how he felt – not for the longest time. Just a sense inside of him that put him apart from those around him.
It wasn’t until he was almost eleven years old that he finally found out why.
(This is a remake of the fem!Malec series, with regular Malec, so to speak)

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.
