Summary
It’s such a simple thing, if only anyone would bother to notice. A few nuts and bolts, an oiled metal hinge, an outward swinging hatch.
There’s no need to live the way people do. It’s just that nobody makes an effort.

Over one hundred years later, the government’s secrets are at risk and a new way to keep them safe must be created.

Summary
Jaffar lifts the automaton's chin and admires him as he used to admire his own mirror image as a youth, but this is so much better, so much more fulfilling than a mere reflection. It is because he is gazing upon an improved version of himself--yes, he has dared improve on God's creation, the piquant arousal only blasphemy can bring now curling up his spine, licking at his groin. He has taken the liberty of erasing a few wrinkles, of straightening the teeth a little, of making the doll's hair a little fuller, thicker: and what surprises Sarosh hides underneath his robes, oh--Yassamin shall find out soon enough.
Pleased with himself, the image of himself, Jaffar chuckles, unable to resist the temptation of a kiss.
Jaffar builds a silver replica of himself as a birthday present to Yassamin. But it would be foolish of him not to test the doll first, would it not? Only to make sure everything is in working order, of course.

Summary
When Victoria and her cousins are offered jobs at their uncle's recently acquired pizzeria, they immediately accept. The pay is spectacular, the job relatively easy, and the hours decent for a summer job between college semesters. With the three of them working together, they can even compensate for when Aisling forgets her hearing aids. What none of them ever expected, though, was for a cursed group of the second personas of personified countries to be thrown into the mix with them. Matters only seem to get worse when Uncle Sean hardly seems bothered by the danger his nieces find themselves in, even hiring another nightshift employee, convinced that they can break the curse on the automatons of his pizzeria.
With some of the automatons pursuing them in hopes of breaking the curse with the old "true love's first kiss" standby, and others attempting to do them harm, every night is full of heart-pounding games of deadly hide-and-seek. Why don't they quit and run? Let it suffice to say that even leaving the pizzeria would not separate them from their fates. The cursed automatons of the pizzeria do not give up so easily. It would be far better to face them head on than to ever give them the chance to strike at your back. -

Summary
Based off a prompt I found on Tumblr. Here's the prompt for you:
"ok but where is my comedy fic where alec accidentally portals back to the 19th century (or whenever magnus and camille were hot and heavy) and he has to convince magnus to help him get back to his time without revealing his ~identity/their relationship and trying to control his jealousy because it’s completely irrational and stupid and magnus is his own person and he is allowed a past that doesn’t include them. bonus point if magnus wants to charge him a ridiculous fee and alec is all i have is the shirt on my back, 5$ and my honor but i promise i’ll pay you back in the future which ofc magnus doesn’t like because shadowhunters yikes they can’t be trusted. bonus bonus point if alec has to stop himself from making innuendos about how magnus really wants what he has to offer. then maybe they make an arrangement that alec is going to do him a favor so shenanigans and 19th century demon hunting mission vibes ensue."
I have made loads of changes in the above prompt and made it suit my needs. Comment if you have any confusions.
