Summary
After becoming suspicious the new institute head is hiding something, Magnus sees him in the last place he expected.
The parade was an explosion of sensations, colors and sounds. Their chaos and the joy pouring off everyone present made him feel at home. He drifted smiling through the crowd, singing along to some mundane song until a startling sight made him grind to a halt.
Magnus squinted through the glare reflecting off his sunglasses, honestly starting to consider if the heat wave was making him hallucinate. Was that...Alec Lightwood? -

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
A meeting in Central Park, a kiss and a new life.
"All around us it is silent, the snow falls in soft flakes and for a moment I feel as if the earth has stopped turning. I feel his hands on the fabric of my coat as they leave my arms and come to rest on my shoulders. His gaze turns upwards over our heads and I follow the path of his eyes with mine. Above us, a green-leaved mistletoe with white berries on a red bow is emblazoned. Surrounded by fir trees, lush green covered with the white splendour of this magical season, we stand under the symbol of an auspicious future. Cold flakes wet my heated face, melting immediately before they get the chance to caress my skin longer. An image solidifies in my mind, a kiss as soft and pure as the first snow of the year. And before I can think long about my actions and the consequences, I place my lips on those of the beautiful stranger in front of me and steal my first kiss with a man."
