(#8 in Wallander/#10 in Magnus Martinsson/#493 in Detective)
When the former Ystad detective, Magnus Martinsson decides it's time for a change, he decides to move to London and work there. With his involvement in a huge huge European banking case and a recommendation from Kurt, he lands a job working for Scotland Yard. After his first few days of working, he starts to notice a female detective, who tends to keep to herself, he finds out that her name is Y/N Dickson, and he should stay away from her. Y/N Dickson is a very focused, clever, insightful, and most of all has the habit to be socially cold and closed off. In her mind emotions only hold one back and in turn, make it near impossible to focus on work, deduction in her case.
It doesn't take long for her to catch Magnus' eye and want to get to know her better, despite what others have told him. A lot of times other detectives at the Yard will compare her skill and mannerisms to that of the famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, who keeps solving case after case just like their very own Y/N, though she does a better job of staying out of the public's eye. Magnus, who has been trying to get closer to her and break through this "social and emotional distance" she has, he notices the change in the way she will behave when people compare her to Sherlock, and the fact that she doesn't take it as a compliment, seeing as he is a great detective.
Around the same time, a new and very big threat comes to London and everyone in Scotland Yard needs to be on their top game in order to make it through, and for the first time in a few months need to enlist the help of Sherlock Holmes. What will happen when all three of their paths meet, and could it be that Y/N Dickson is more then she seems?
Alec is studying to be a lawyer at university at his father's insistence, but he wants to be a vet. He loves animals and reading. His father abuses him. He secretly helps Ragnor, a nearby vet. Here he meets Magnus, a writer who also has his own demons, and their adventure begins

NOTE: a year later: (My English has improved, and I hope my writing has too)
So that was the first one. I would write it differently today.
Nevertheless I'll leave it as I wrote it then. A bit clumsy, a bit inexperienced. Because I remember how much I wanted this. This was the point where my mental healing began. That's where I realised that by writing Malec stories, I was not only giving myself, but also the rest of the community, a refuge from the anxieties of everyday life.
However, I plan to re- write it again because the story excites me and I wonder how I would do it with my current knowledge. If that happens, the original will still be here. Because that's me too.
⚠️ This story a little bit contains mature content, mention of homophobia, abuse and violence.
