Magnus Bane smiles like the world hasn't broken him - because he has decided, very firmly, that it won't. Behind the glitter and the bravado is a boy who has been let down by everyone who should have stayed. All he has ever wanted is to be loved for exactly who he is.
Alec Lightwood is the most powerful werewolf his generation has ever seen - and the loneliest. Everyone wants what he represents. Nobody wants him. So, he stopped believing in love a long time ago.
Then the universe, with its terrible sense of humor, introduced them to each other.
One is a boy desperately hoping to be loved. The other stopped believing in love entirely.
Two souls carrying wounds the world never bothered to notice. Through struggle and suffering, love and loyalty, they will either break completely - or finally, achingly, heal.
Some wounds only heal when the right person finds them.
This is a story of love, friendship, and finding family in the most unexpected places.

Magnus tried. He tried to forgive Alec for his wrong doings. But after living for so long amongst the vile creatures of the world, what little compassion he had for humans and their tendency to make mistakes left altogether. Alec tried.

You Know What? F**king Bite Me! (How Did You Dare To!?) [MALEC ~ Alec X Magnus]
"I just hated him, the totally attractive and totally stupid him. That perfect smile he would always flash out like life was peaceful and there weren't problems at all. Sometimes it felt like some kind of aura surrounded him, almost as nothing could go wrong by his side. I hated, how hard I had tried to fight this... 'things' I was feeling for him. I didn't matter how hard I tried, how far I looked out for something wrong about him... I always found nothing. But what I hated the most was how I wasn't able to really hate him." WARNING: Be advised that this story has an abrupt stop, and that it "ends" with an open ending.Complete

Alec Lightwood had a successful life. He worked damn hard for it. But at the same time he was lonely. Experienced yet inexperienced. He craved love and knew he would never have it. He craved real feelings, to be loved for who he was, to be loved in a way that would satisfy him, but he knew that was an unreachable dream for him. So he buried his true self deep inside himself. So deeply that he slowly began to believe that his own false reality was real. And it worked for 28 years. Until he saw Magnus Bane in a red light window on the streets of Amsterdam. ➡️ NOTES: I was in Amsterdam a week ago. I went to the red light district. The place has such an aura that of course my Malec writing brain cells almost exploded. I started writing this the same day, during my vacation. I was going to write a oneshot...but by the end (as usual) I couldn't stop. It will be 3-5 chapters, but this time they will be shorter than usual - about 1K word / chapters. ⚠️ Warning 🔞 The story is ONLY for ages 18 +. This is adult content. I can't deny it, the atmosphere of the place turned me on...and it turned Alec on... also Magnus, of course... **** English is not my first language. Please don't compare the characters with the characters in Cassandra Claire's books. In my story you will only find references to the TV series. (I don't own any of the characters. All belong to Cassandra Claire. The story is my own. You'll find a few references to the TV series. I only use the names to make it easier to relate to the story)Complete
