Magnus Bane is the lead singer of a popular music group, living his best life in the limelight. Alec Lightwood is just a normal college student trying to fly under the radar as much as possible and just make it through life. So when Alec and Magnus activate each other's marks will they figure out a way to fit into one another's lives, or will miscommunication and unspoken emotions get in the way?

or, the one where two people who are literally destined to be together fall in love and still manage to almost mess it up
Being new at school, Magnus had absolutely no idea of who was who. It quickly became worse when he received a note asking him out and got confused between the Lightwood brothers (but really, it was all Raphael's fault!)
Magnus is a good friend and the absolute best roommate in the world, so of course when Jace begs him to pretend to be his boyfriend for his family's 4th of July barbecue, he says yes. Enters Alec, Jace's gorgeous brother. Aaaand Magnus is screwed.
Alec, Jace, and Simon go to Vegas for Jace's bachelor party and things get a little bit ridiculous.
Alec wakes up the next morning and...wait a minute, who's that in his bed?
Of all the days in all the years Alec has worked here, and of all the people who work in this building that he could have found himself stuck with, the Universe chose to trap him in an elevator with Magnus Bane on the day his sister is giving birth.
Well, fuck you too, Universe.
Magnus widens his eyes at him, silently asking him to just give him this one. Alec simply curves one of his stupidly perfect eyebrows in response, a simple gesture that carries the weight of a call for challenge.
“Looks like you’re gonna have to postpone your wedding for now,” Maia giggles next to him.
Magnus huffs, flexing his jaw. “Oh, it’s on, Lightwood,” he mouths at him.
Or the one where Alec and Magnus are both after the same guy, but end up falling for each other instead.
Alec has been in love with Magnus pretty much since the first time they met. Magnus has been in love with Alec for just as long. Unfortunately, bad timing and various levels of insecurity can keep even the closest of friends from admitting any of that out loud.
Fairchild’s bakery is a second home to not just Magnus, but also to most of his found-family. As a pastry chef, he works long hours and takes great pride in his craft – so much so that he has little time or attention for much else. Least of all romance. After plenty of experience with heartbreak and disappointment, he has come to expect the worst from anything in that department, and the arrival of the wealthy Lightwoods in the neighborhood isn’t about to change that. Especially not when their eldest son might just be the most insufferable prick Magnus has ever met, no matter what anyone else has to say about the guy.
(aka the Pride & Prejudice/bakery AU no one asked for)
Alec Lightwood has had a crush on his fellow lawyer and close friend, Magnus Bane, from the moment he first met him, but after several months of friendship, Alec hasn't yet been brave enough to admit his not-so-platonic feelings for Magnus out loud.
One afternoon, when he and Magnus end up babysitting Magnus's goddaughter, Madzie, together, and the two of them are mistaken for being in a relationship by an elderly couple, Alec starts to wonder if he should maybe be a little more honest with Magnus about how he feels...
Magnus Bane has worked as a lawyer for several years, taking his job very seriously. The Lightwoods have always been one of his major professional rivals in the city, but this hasn't stopped Magnus from falling in lust, and a little in love, with one particular member of the Lightwood family, Alec Lightwood.
When shy, nervous Alec asks Magnus for his help with representing one of the Lightwoods' clients, Magnus makes a joking, flirty comment about what he would expect from Alec in return for a victory in the courtroom. A major misunderstanding happens as a result.
