"You rose. I saw you. I loved you."
Alexander Lightwood had it all - privilege, wealth, and a name that opened every door in Manhattan. Until he came out.
Kicked out by his powerful father, the heir to the Lightwood hotel empire is left with nothing but his pride, a threadbare t-shirt, and the brutal New York winter. Homeless, sick, and surviving on graveyard shifts at a 24-hour diner, Alec is invisible to the world... until the night Magnus Bane sees him.
Magnus - enigmatic, unapologetic, and dripping in glitter - is the CEO of Bane Media and the last person Alec expects to offer help, let alone a warm bed in the Bane mansion.
What begins as a quiet act of kindness soon becomes a journey neither of them expected - a story of healing, rebuilding, and learning how to love again. But love doesn't come without ghosts. And Alexander's past isn't done with him yet.
As they build something beautiful - a legal aid foundation, a found family, a future - both men must face the weight of legacy, identity, and the choice to finally stop running.
💔 From broken beginnings to brilliant futures.
🏳️🌈 A slow-burn MM romance about second chances, chosen family, and forever love.
25 Chapters. Multiple POVs. Angst, healing, found family, and glitter.
For fans of heartfelt LGBTQ+ romance with real stakes and real softness.

He owned villas perched on cliffs, sprawling estates, penthouses with views of entire cities, fleets of cars and yachts, art collections, and companies whose influence dictated markets. He was brilliant, sharp-minded, and dangerously intelligent dominant by nature, short-tempered when tested, yet always fair in his own ruthless way. Handsome and magnetic, his body looked as though it had been carved by gods themselves. Magnus lived as men of his stature often did he indulged his appetites. Models, actresses, heiresses, socialites his bed was rarely cold. But for all his ruthlessness, he was not unkind.

Beauty and the Beast ~ a malec fanfiction
"Who could ever learn to love a beast?" --- Prince Magnus wasn't exactly grateful of the life that he lived. He was selfish and vain, unappreciative of his staff and the people around him. He felt no love but gained the affection of many, even though he never reciprocated those feelings. He was undoubtably beautiful, but appearances mean so much more than that... Alexander Lightwood was a rather peculiar man in his little town full of little people. No one tends to pay much attention to him, apart from a certain cocky woman who was set on winning his affections, something that Alec definitely didn't want. And when his adoptive father goes missing during a journey to buy supplies for his inventions, he sets out to find him. But where is father had been taken was far stranger than he had anticipated... --- so this is pretty much based on the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, as you could probably tell from the title. but with added malec! all rights of characters go to Cassandra Clare started 31/12/17 completed 31/12/19Complete
