It's hard to believe that a boy who didn't believe in love and a boy who didn't believe he could love himself would have much to learn from each other. But it would turn out that way, of course; with everything to gain and even more to lose. As it turned out, both Liam and Jamie needed to learn not to trust the dim lights and neon nights. This is a backwards love story.

*Completed* Alec Lightwood was your average guy. Straight A student, athletic, but had an attitude at times. Although he'd rather stay quiet than be social, like people said he was. He was a listener, but somehow he was a true leader. Magnus Bane, a very feminine bisexual. Very confident, outgoing, fashionable. He did well in school, not the brightest but not the dumbest. Just what he liked. He was very chatty and said whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. That's when Alec and Magnus first talked, senior year when Alec was tired of trying to see if he really like Jace and he was tired of being scared of being gay. They both hope this is a real relationship, and not a test.
