Summary
“Why am I out here?” Alec complained loudly. A few techs looked up, then hastily dropped their heads as Alec swiveled around to glare at them.
“That was me,” Magnus chirped happily. He was holding a small notepad and wearing aviator sunglasses. He would look every inch the g-man except for the earcuff he wore when outside the office. Also, his suit was purple. There was also that.
Magnus said, “I thought you might want to analyze--”
“The concrete?”
“Yes,” Magnus said quickly. “Lots of, uh, particulars.”
“I don’t have to analyze it: it’s concrete.”
“My mistake,” Magnus said, beaming at him. “Still, you look very fetching in your biohazard suit.”
Alec’s lovely eyes, visible only through a small window in the suit, looked positively outraged.

Summary
Alec grimaces, arms crossed over his chest. “I’m your guardian angel and I’m here to help you find love.”
“Go away,” Magnus says.
The grimace slides off Alec’s face and he blinks his wide doe eyes, startled.
He is lovely, Magnus thinks, for a creepy stranger that breaks into semi-innocent men’s apartments and sleeps next to them like a freak.
“Can’t do that,” Alec insists. “You asked, we answered. I’ve been assigned to stay here until you find eternal bliss in the loving arms of another.”
“So, you’re Cupid?”
“Do I look like a chubby baby to you?” Alec asks, deeply unimpressed.
---
Alec is Magnus' guardian angel, tasked with finding him true love. Things don't go as planned, but they never really do.

Summary
“Hey there,” Alec says in the lowest, sexiest voice he can manage. It sounds vaguely disinterested but some people get off on that.
“Hi,” the voice says.
“Ready to have some fun?”
The voice makes a small, sad noise.
“Or not?” Alec tries hastily. He gets paid regardless of what they're talking about. “We can just chat for a while.”
“What’s your name,” the voice says finally.
“Uh, Chad,” Alec says. He was drunk when he picked his name, just as he was drunk when he answered the job wanted ad. He should have picked something sexy like Tristan, but he’s forever Chad now, the douchiest phone sex operator in history. He balances his bowl of macaroni carefully on his stomach and sneaks a quick bite.
“You don’t sound like a Chad,” the voice says doubtfully.
“Why the hell not?” Alec says before he can stop himself, mouth full of pasta.
“--are you eating?”
“No,” Alec lies and swallows.
---
Alec is a bored phone sex operator. Bafflingly, Magnus just wants to talk about music.
