Summary: Magnus had waited a long time for his soulmate to be born. Fate must have had a sick sense of humour, though, because after all these centuries, it had handed him a Shadowhunter. Magnus didn’t know who this Shadowhunter was, or how they could possibly be meant for each other, but he did know that this story wouldn't have a happy ending.
Alec also knew all about fate's sense of humour. He had known this his whole life. But the ground was coming up from under him and everything he knew was being turned on its head, systematically picked up and pulled apart and handed back to him looking nothing like it did before. Valentine was alive. His own parents had been members of the Circle. The Lightwoods’ grip on the Institute was slipping. And, through all this, his siblings had found their soulmates.
Alec had found Magnus. But that didn’t mean anything, did it?

Chapter 26
Because no one was ever allowed to have one blissful, quiet night to just sit and take a break from every blow life wanted to sock them over the head with, everything went to shit.

Chapter 21
This had quite possibly been the longest day of Magnus’s life. He was emotionally exhausted after all the ups and downs, the “Izzy’s getting exiled!”s and “Nevermind, Izzy’s saved!”s. He’d taken her out for a much needed drink after at his favourite bar and then portaled her home when she had one too many.

Chapter 16
For most of her childhood, Isabelle Lightwood had bought into every fairytale. Soulmates were a gift from the angel and soulmarks a guide to the right path. They were a little bit magical — this mystical tether between two people, a string they could follow until they found the person who would be perfect for them. A reward for everything the Nephilim did for them, for all of their hard work and the difficult, battle-driven lives they led. For Downworlders, they were a consolation for which they should be grateful. For which they should feel honoured by. How merciful, how kind, how magnanimous the angels were to give this gift to the devil’s children too so that they might have some good, some light as well.

Chapter 11
Alec could not believe that he was here. He wasn’t sure that he was, actually. The crumpled address in his hand didn’t feel real. Neither did the door in front of him.
This was stupid. This was pointless.

Chapter 6
Magnus had considered calling Alec. He’d even gone to the trouble of getting his number off Isabelle, which was really not much trouble at all. She was only too happy to provide.
He didn’t call. In the end, he thought it through a hundred times and decided it was probably best if he gave Alec space to deal with… with everything the incident with the memory demon may have brought up.

Chapter 1
A shadowhunter. All these centuries he’d waited, and his soulmate was a shadowhunter.
Magnus stared at the symbol on his wrist. He vaguely recognized it as what he thought was the deflect rune. Only a moment ago, the black ink had bled to cover his skin and replace the words he’d carried for the past year.

It was an otherwise ordinary Tuesday that Maryse Lightwood showed up at Magnus’s door. It was raining so heavily it bounced off the roof, like a constant cascade of rocks overhead. Briefly, he wondered if it was heralding her presence.
‘It’s more than a little distracting, wanting to kiss my instructor every five minutes.‘
Shadowhunters: activating and drawing runes
A Losing Game by @facialteeth. Betaed by @bamf-alec with art by @thelightofthebane.
Coming Soon to the Shadowhunters Mini Bang 2021: Presented by the @malecdiscordserver.
Rating: Mature. Trigger Warnings: Vague mentions of guns and violence in the first scene (featured below). Trigger Warnings for the fic as a whole: heavy angst, heavy violence, unhappy ending, mcd.
The First Two Scene(s):
Magnus Bane hadn’t heard the name Alexander Lightwood in years. Truthfully, he’d suspected that he’d never hear it again, void from his own thoughts, which drifted to Alexander far more often than he would ever dare to admit to anyone aloud.
He and Alec had dated once, when they’d both been far too young to deserve a love as pure as what they’d found. Magnus was not a sappy man but, in the privacy of his own head, he thought Alexander was the person he was supposed to end up with before — well, before everything in his life went to shit.
He and Alec had fallen in love fast. They’d spent most of their high school years utterly enthralled with each other. They’d spent their evenings making out in Alec’s room, just to wake up and spend the morning making out in Alec’s car before the bell rang and they had to go their separate ways. Magnus had known, even then when no one had believed they’d last, that he was going to spend the rest of his life with Alec. He was supposed to spend the rest of his life with him.
“You should have heard them in the kitchen this morning. “Who is coming to visit, Mina?” “Agnes!” I feel that your alter ego, Agnes, would wear sequins and be absolutely deadly at whist.”
You know I can’t resist drawing him!🥰🥰
