Summary
“What makes you think that I’d protect you? You’re my captor, after all.”
“You did last night,” Magnus replied simply, staring the man down until the Shadowhunter averted his eyes and pushed himself to his feet with a sigh. “You said it yourself, Alexander. The devil you know is better than the devil you don’t.”

Summary
For hundreds of years, dragons disappeared out of sight, and the tales of them were lost into myth and legend. The last Call hadn’t happened in almost eight hundred years.
Until now.
Until one young man felt the Call one cold winter night, wrapped up safe inside his bed, that told him his warlock was in trouble. Only once in the history of dragonkind had any dragon ever had the strength to resist a call like that.
So very few knew what it meant when the shadowhunter came stumbling from their chambers, eyes aglow with their mark and a growl rumbling their chest, save for a small handful. It was their presence that helped to save lives that night as they drew others back and made a path – because nothing and no one can get between a dragon and their warlock.
Not if they want to live, that is.

Summary
Alec has spent most of his life hiding.
That's just the way things have always been. From a young age he knew he had to hide to keep himself safe, because there were people out there who would hurt him just for being born the way he was. To keep his secret, Alec has done his best to hide away the parts of himself he can't risk letting anyone see, only letting that part of himself out in the late night hours when no one's around and he can take to the skies. It's the only place he's ever felt free.
All that changes one night when Alec happens to misjudge a storm and finds himself crash landing on Magnus Bane's rooftop.

Summary
Alec Lightwood lost three years, a name he once said like a prayer, and the shape of the life that held him.
Now, with a limp he didn’t earn and memories that won’t return, he is trying to stitch together something that feels like living—physiotherapy, wine-stained Friday dinners, polite conversations that feel like performances.
But when a stranger’s hand brushes his in a quiet grocery aisle, something in him stirs. Not a memory—something older. Something deeper.
A story of love after forgetting. And the quiet ache of being known by someone you can’t remember.

Summary
When Alec came back from Alicante, life had seemed to finally be looking up for him. No longer "Acting" Head of the Institute, all of his hard work had finally paid off. He was the youngest official, fully-vested Institute Head in the past 150 years. Something he'd worked damn hard to achieve.
So of course he should've expected for something to happen to change that.
With the introduction of Clary Fray into their lives, and all the chaos she brought with her, Alec came home to an Institute in upheaval. Unsanctioned missions, a search for the Cup, and Valentine's daughter running free. And his very first steps towards trying to fix it all - reaching out to the High Warlock they'd all managed to use for help somehow without paying him - ends with a whole lot more trouble than Clary could've ever brought him.
Alec goes on a journey that starts with pain and ends with a strange bond he never wanted, a husband he never thought he could have, and the chance to finally affect some real changes in the Shadow World.
That is, if they can all survive long enough to see it happen.
