MALEC ONESHOTS!

That War Between Us

A/N: This was a prompt I also found online. Please don't forget to leave a request down below of any couple or plot under the sun. I am open to pretty much anything. Anway, we have some Malec above plus Main Theme from the game Dragon Age Inquisition extended version. NB, as the song is extended, it does repeat two or three times. Also, I apologise for the wait, but it is a long one this time.

Alec jumped, losing an arrow that skimmed the top of Jace's head for the last time that day. The arrow embedded itself into a Fey that was slowly progressing on Jace. Jace turned with a grin. "That was a risky move but thanks."

"Maybe if you weren't so risky, I wouldn't have to pull a move like that." Alec mumbled, retrieving the arrow. He was low on arrows so he needed to reserve and retrieve what he could. There was a sigh from behind him. Alec turned and saw his Parabatai looking down at a Fey. "What's wrong?" Alec asked.

"Why are we at war with them, Alec?" Jace asked. "I mean, what's the point. We're currently stuck in a stalemate. No-one from our side wants to go into their camp and fight because of the risk of Warlocks but no-one from their side dares to come to Idris. This fight is never ending and no-one is going to win." Jace complained. Alec made his way of the bodies of the Fey and placed a hand on Jace's shoulder.

"It doesn't make much sense to me either but really, what can we do? We just have to live out as long as we can and hope for a solution before we die." Alec tried. Jace nodded and the pair, who were the last on the battle field, made their way back to Idris, Alec scavenging for arrows as he went.

*~+~*

"Yo Alec, can I ask you a question?" Jace asked, appearing in the door to Alec's room. He was currently fletching some new arrows for the next fight.

"Mmm?" Alec mumbled.

"Right... So... Um... There's a rumour going around the Clave about you..." Jace scratched the back of his neck. Alec sighed and put the arrow down, turning to look at the younger.

"What now?" Alec muttered.

"Well... You see... The Clave knows of your... Past... With one of the Warlocks... And... Uh... They see you as a... A sympathiser..." Jace stammered out. Alec let out a loud groan and fell back onto his bed.

"Seriously? After what I've done for them and this is how they repay me? Great. Just great. How much do you want to bet that within the hour, they're going to come here and take me in for 'questioning'?"

"It can't be that bad. Just tell them the truth." Jace supported, sitting beside Alec.

"They won't believe me if they think my love for Magnus is resurfacing. This is going to end well." Alec tone was dripping with sarcasm. There was a knock on the front door.

"Open up in the name of Raziel." the person yelled.

"What did I tell you?" Alec cried. He stood up and stormed downstairs, throwing the door open. "What?" he growled. Two men stood there, Alec had seen them at meetings. One was rather tall, but not as tall as Alec and the other was around Clary height. Both looked taken aback at Alec's tone.

"Alexander Lightwood. We would like to take you to the Hall of Accords for questioning please." the taller said, regaining his composure.

"Let's just do it here shall we?" Alec snarled. "No. I am not a sympathiser. Yes, I am still in love with Magnus Bane. No, I haven't been going out to see him. Yes, I will continue to fight for our side as I am a Shadowhunter, not a Downworlder. No, I will not come with you to the Hall of Accords for damned questioning. Are we done here?"
