Summary
For a long time, Alec had felt like his life was held together by strings tied on him by the Clave, his parents, his siblings. Strings that pulled and tugged him in every which direction, heedless of the bruises and blood left behind. As much as they hurt, some days they’d been the only thing to hold him together.
That is, up until the moment Alec stood on the shores of Lake Lyn and faced the death of the one person who held a piece of his soul, and the lies that followed his mysterious resurrection.
There, on the shores of Lake Lyn, those strings finally pulled too hard, and Alec broke.
With the permission of the Inquisitor, and the help of the warlock who Alec had wanted so desperately to allow himself to fall for (and had been terrified to do more than smile at his flirting) Alec walked away from everything and everyone. He left New York behind and made himself a home in the small town of Prayer – a joke Magnus found particularly funny.
But, two years after that fateful night, Alec’s old life comes knocking, and those strings he thought he’d finally cut are tugging him home. Back to the place he never wanted to have to see again.
At least this time, he’s not facing it alone.

Summary
Home. It was an odd word really for someone who'd never really felt like he belonged anywhere. It was only stepping through the door and being greeted by the lines of yellow cabs waiting for fares that it struck Magnus that yes, New York, was exactly that, his home. Even though it was well into the night the bustle around him felt comforting and relaxing, the sounds and smells that were essentially New York, that were familiar and strangely safe. Here was a city where you could lose yourself, where the crowds would engulf you no matter how flamboyant you were and that kind of anonymity was exactly what Magnus craved right now.
It's been five years since Magnus Bane, infamous conman, left New York but when an old friend calls for help he can't resist coming home again.
News of the return of Magnus, the so called high warlock of grifting, isn't something that can really be kept quiet and for Jace, Isabelle and Alec Lightwood this may be the break they need.
Can Magnus reunite the old team and succeed with his task or has he bitten off more than he can chew this time..

Summary
This is an Alec-resurrection fic, full of angst but with an eventual happy ending: Alec is reborn as a baby, and as he is raised in Idris he learns of his first life, and of Magnus. Alec and Magnus reconnect when the reborn-Alec is an adult, but starting over is scary and complicated, especially while they're under the immense pressure of leading negotiations between warring factions of the Shadow World. (Essentially this is my attempt to have my cake and eat it too with the mortal vs immortal debate.)
