“Family outing. Those are my kids over there, with my husband. Over there. That’s my husband.”
- Alec “that’s my husband” Lightwood-Bane in “Forever Fallen” Ghosts of the Shadow Market page 569
Book!Malec Dating Timeline
(Timeline Freak Alert!)
City of Bones ends on Clary’s birthday: August 23rd, which in 2007 was a Thursday. This was when Alec was poisoned by a demon and Magnus saved him.
Alec asked Magnus out on the Tuesday after (The Bane Chronicles) which must be the 28th
Alec and Magnus had their 1st date that Friday (The Bane Chronicles) which must be the 31st
The Bane Chronicles (What to Buy the Shadowhunter who has Everything) takes place on Alec’s birthday on September 12th.
This short story has Alec accidentally sleeping over twice and Magnus getting used to Alec’s presence and the smell of coffee. Magnus literally cannot stop thinking about Alec at this point in their relationship: WHICH BY THE TIMELINE, HAS ONLY BEEN TWELVE DAYS!!!!!!!
Malec love in less than two weeks….
Queen of Air and Darkness page 856:
Alec: "When I found you, I didn't know what I was finding. Words about things that are beautiful and precious to me don't come easily. You know that. You know me better than anyone. And when one day people look back on me and what my life meant, I don't want them to say, 'Alec Lightwood fought in the Dark War' or even 'Alec Lightwood was Consul once.' I want them to think 'Alec Lightwood loved one man so much he changed the world for him.'"
Magnus: "You know you've already changed the world for me."
Alec: "Will you marry me? Right now? Tonight?"
Magnus: *nodds*
Alec and Magnus: *kiss for a long time*
Thought I would try doing one of these SH x textposts thingies

The Archive is experiencing some issues (as many of you have noticed).
It looks like the Archive is under a DDoS attack causing the servers to fall over. Our volunteer sysadmins are working on countermeasures. Please be patient with us, we'll be back!
A DDoS attack is when an attacker attempts to knock a site offline by overwhelming it with requests. Data is not compromised in a DDoS attack, so there is no need to change your password at this time or worry about your works being lost.
A group presenting themselves as a collective of religiously and politically motivated hackers has claimed responsibility for the DDoS attack. This group has attacked other sites before, including those of government organizations and large corporations. However, cybersecurity experts do not believe the group is honest about their motivation, so we urge caution in believing any reasoning this group provides for targeting AO3.
As part of our efforts to help keep the site up, you might find that you get "Retry later" errors more often when searching or filtering works or bookmarks. Don't worry, just go a little slower, or try again in a few minutes! These are temporary measures. Normal use of the site is fine -- you don't have to avoid using AO3 if it's currently up for you.
Our volunteers are continuing to work hard on this issue! We appreciate your patience and support in the meantime.

We've changed our approach slightly, so you might now see error messages other than "Retry later," such as 429 (too many requests), 400 (bad request), or 503 (service unavailable).
Please do continue to access the site if it's up for you, and feel free to download some works for offline reading in case of further downtime!
We'd also like to take a moment to reiterate that cybersecurity experts believe the group claiming responsibility for the ongoing DDoS attack is lying about their affiliation and reasons for attacking websites. We strongly encourage you to be skeptical of any statements from this group.

The thing is. I will always love Misha for the simple reason that when he stumbled across fanfic he didn't turn up his nose and say "gross!" but instead asked more question because he was genuinely curious and then he kept encouraging fans to embrace their creativity for YEARS while people working with him called them disgusting.
