Alec and Magnus.
OUUUUUCH.
I just.. just felt like doing this.
And I just felt like breaking hearts.

Magnus hadn’t been through his chest in years. From it he pulled out an old picture of Alec LIghtwood from 2007. He was so young then.
Ten years had passed since he died at the old age eighty-seven. Alec had lived a long life with Magnus and grew old right before Magnus’s eyes—as mortals do. He didn’t die in a battle; he died peacefully with Magnus’s hand in his.
A single, warm tear fell onto Magnus’s cheek. “By the angel,” he murmured, smiling. “You did rub off on me.”
Guys. Do you realize how important this part is? In City of Lost Souls Magnus chose to give up a memory of Will- not just because it is a genuinely happy memory that Azazel requires, but because he doesn’t want to give up one of his memories of Alec. Not to mention the fact that in doing so, he decides that Alec is more important to him than Will. And the only reason Alec gave up one of his memories of Magnus is because that’s literally the only time he’s ever felt so completely happy before..
