When Alec was 14 years old he went missing and never returned to his family as they sent out an urgent appeal to find him after it was their fault for him to run away. Basically. In a town where Alec grew up they were homophobes so they didn't allow people who loved the same sex, so alec ran away. Summary: Alec lives in a new town and meets a guy who he really likes and as they get close will Alec's true identity be revealed? And will he seek help?

Alec Lightwood was pretty content with his life, he had a successful job leading a law firm with one of his best friends, a great relationship with his siblings and a perfectly acceptable apartment. He really wasn't looking for anything more but when he finds a little girl waiting all alone in a coffee shop his life will change irremediably and maybe that's not such a bad thing after all. Or. The one in which Alec makes up with his mother, gets a boyfriend and adopts a little girl. Just not necessarily in that order.

*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.
