Summary
Alec can’t breathe.
The cracked vinyl hospital bench creaks beneath him as he rocks forward to hunch over the borrowed cellphone in his hands, the fluorescent lights glaring up off the sterile, bleach-white floor to burn his sleep-tired eyes.
He’s too late.
The emergency message from the Red Cross took three days to reach him, and Alec is far, far too late.

Summary
Alec immediately regrets the instinctive shift of his feathers, knowing how many Downworld throats have been slit open on nephilim wings, knowing how many times Magnus and his council must have seen that happen. But what’s done is done and moving them back would do nothing. Alec comes to a halt at a respectful distance from the High Warlock and waits. His arrival was without notice and is certainly unwelcome. By both nephilim and Downworld custom the next move belongs to Magnus alone.
“Tell me, Alexander Lightwood,” Magnus begins icily, and it’s no surprise that he knows Alec’s name. “What brings the Head of the New York Institute to my door, unarmed, runes inactive, and completely alone?”

Summary
“I have prayed to the Angel every day since I first took you in my arms that I would be enough, mijo, that I could teach you and raise you and love you in the way that you deserve."
Max tightens his small, blue fists in the Shadowhunter's leathers, a sob building in his throat.
"But I'm not- I'm not enough for you."
Twenty years after the Clave brings the Circle's members back into their ranks after Valentine's death, an infant warlock is left on the steps of the New York Institute. Alec Lightwood will blow up the ground he stands on for those he loves.
Edit: Added a second coda chapter! (19AUG24)

The Ides of March Are Upon Us by lawsofchaos

Summary
In honor of the Ides of March (and betrayal), here are a series of scenes I've written for fics that will never exist.
___
“Jace, I would give anything to spare you this.” Alec breathes deeply, eyes remaining closed. “But as your Head, I am telling you that this will happen."
Jace makes a barely audible sound at that certain proclamation, and Magnus would give a lot not to know what it sounds like for the strong-willed Shadowhunter to smother a sob into his brother’s shoulder.
___
A thin werewolf slips up into the VIP section and comes up to whisper in Magnus' ear. "Commander Lightwood dropped a body off at the door, High Warlock. A nephilim body." As Magnus' gaze jerks over to the guard, the wolf continues unbidden. "There's a Circle rune on the neck, sir." He hesitates before continuing. "But it's been... uh.. stabbed through the center."
Alec smirks, still not looking up. "Pretty sure I chipped the blade on his vertebrae, actually." He quirks an eyebrow even as he smoothly guides the whetstone over the weapon's edge. "It would have been an utter shame to waste such a well-marked target though,” he purrs.

Summary
“The last time I saw this note,” Isaiah comments, his smile sharp-edged and grimly satisfied, “Alec had just pinned it to the chest of a dead Circle member.”
Magnus’ eyes widen. He may have known there was an explanation for his husband’s signature being on a note in a Circle archive, but that was most certainly not the explanation he expected.
“Frankly, I’m curious how they got the blood off it.” Isaiah sounds remarkably unperturbed. “There was quite a bit as I recall.”

Summary
When practice is done and he’s showered, he checks his phone.
The 16 messages from Lily are expected with Ilya traveling to Detroit this week. Ilya has a strong but unsupported hatred of Detroit. The ‘vibes are bad Shane’ was the last claim Shane had heard and he is prepared to read even less substantiated claims.
He’s unprepared to see a group chat he’s been added to.
Shane is only a part of a few group chats. One that Rose put together with a bunch of her not out queer friends that he keeps muted but likes to scroll through every once in a while (they have good memes). The group chat with the whole team he only keeps up with for Captain Reasons but keeps it muted too. The one with both of his parents that his mom uses more often than her single thread with him cause ‘Your Dad deserves to be in the loop too’. And finally the one with Jackie and Hayden which is mostly him and Jackie bullying Hayden and Hayden being increasingly frustrated with their antics.
This is not even close to those

Summary
Cardiac tamponade: pressure on that heart that prevents it from filling and beating adequately.
Shane thought he knew two things: his move to Ottawa would cause chaos, and that the Ottawa Centaurs were nice.
As it turned out, he only knew one of those things.
(Or: the Cens are still a team of professional hockey players. They're going to fuck up.)

Summary
A video of Ilya Rozanov goes insanely viral one weekend. It’s him stopped on a red light, riding one of his bright sportscar, windows down with loud music, singing and bobbing along to Bad Bunny songs, an unlit cig between his lips, blissfully aware smoking (pun intended) hot he looks.
Few days later, he gets modelling/brand offers he gladly accepts to cure his boredom while Shane is out doing his own brand deals. To get Ilya into the mood, directors let him play his own playlists and do his own thing.
It breaks the internet.
If there’s one thing that Hayden accidentally outing them Shane is thankful for, it’s the fact that he can now stake his claim on Ilya. He just did not expect it’ll be against most of the internet and a quarter of the league.
(Greatly inspired by those videos of Connor Storrie dancing during his photoshoots that have not left my mind since I watched them.)Series

Summary
In room 1410, Ilya Rozanov is ready to walk out the door after successfully getting his 19 year old hockey rival into bed. He knew how to make this moment happen and he knows what they have to be to each other now that it's over. But as he turns the doorknob to leave, he's stopped with questions he never expected. And giving Shane Hollander what he needs in that moment will change everything.
Author's notes: I’m autistic and see a lot of myself in Shane Hollander. So I thought, in this situation, what if he did exactly what I did the first time I hooked up with someone and didn’t know what the protocol was after it was over, what the next steps were, how to be like everyone else in a moment that felt amazing and confusing at the same time. What if he just asked?
Canon divergent from the first hookup seen in HR s01ep01. Some things are from the show - aged up Marleau and Hunter, mainly - but the timeline is a mix of both. (Notably, they don't wait *two years*, they stick to the book timeline. IYKYK.) Some tags are for later chapters. I post a few times a week, and think it'll be about 30 chapters total but I'll update the total count if that changes. Please comment if you feel I'm missing any tags!

Bookmarker's Notes
The one where Shane asks Ilya on their first time what he’s supposed to do - he doesn’t get people and wants Ilya to just tell him. They get closer for real and have a semi-public friendship and yuna wants to help Ilya with brand deals. Ilya goes to Russia. It’s bad. His father beats him and he and sveta end up in Boston to find Shane sleeping in ilyas bed. Ends with Marleau showing up and almost thinking Shane beat Ilya. Also minor love confession (18/?)
