What happens when a Lightwood and a Fray stop pretending they don't care?
When a mission goes wrong, Clary and Alec are forced to face something far more dangerous than demons - the truth about how they see each other.
Between fire and fear, duty and desire, they find that sometimes the greatest battles are the ones fought in silence.
A soft, slow-burn Clalec story set in the Shadowhunters universe - about trust, healing, and the kind of love that sneaks up on you when you least expect it.

Paralyzed | Malec
[COMPLETED] In a rush I was no longer in the cold and rainy street but in someone else's apartment. Confused, I looked around me and saw two men in front of me cuddled up. One of the men had black hair and it was spiked, he stood up angrily and a energy source came out of his hand, the same like mine. I fled across the room against the wall and screamed in pain as I fell with a loud bang on the floor. "Please, don't hurt me. I am just searching for my father." I said and was almost begging. Both of the men looked shocked at me, not really knowing what they should say. I held the necklace tightly in my hands which made my hand bleed. But which one of the two was my father...? Ella grew up with her mother and never knew something about her father nor does she know that she is half shadowhunter and half warlock. As they both get attacked by people from the shadow world, her mother portals Ella to her father and she herself gets taken away by the people. ©iovemayComplete
