Arranged marriage was very common for Shadowhunters, but Alec and Wendy didn't feel particularly happy when their families put them on the aisle with a stele in hand, ready to mark each other with the wedded union rune. It's not easy to love a stranger, but perseverance and commitment can build relationships even stronger than passion and fleeting loves. *This fanfiction is based on an idea, in no way meant to offend or erase the fact that Alec is gay. Since anyone can pair characters with different kinds of OCs (sex, ethnicity, religion, ...), I can assure you nothing here is written to disrespect the LGBT community.*
