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
"No costume?" With a raised eyebrow, Magnus waved to the rest of the room. "And yet you’re throwing the biggest Halloween party this town has ever seen.”
“That wasn’t exactly my idea,” Alec said, staring down into his cup. His own reflection stared back at him, rippling through the dark red surface of the punch. “Izzy planned --" he gestured vaguely at the party "-- this.”
“Not a fan of Halloween?”
Alec had never been a fan. Things happened when the veil was thin -- strange things. While other children had spent Halloween dressed in costumes and asking for candy, Alec had spent it learning about magical protections, brewing potions, going to stuffy dinners back in the Other Realm. For years, it had been one of the many things that reminded him that he and his family just... weren't normal. And all Alec had ever wanted to be was normal.
_______________An homage to 90s Halloween specials, in which Alec is a witch with a crush, Magnus is charming, Izzy throws a Halloween party, and things go horribly wrong.

Summary
Modern witches and star-crossed love, a soft series with a main story (Sway) and accompanying, short oneshots in the same universe. Unlike the others, though, Sway [part 2] is a direct sequel to the main story.
Perhaps best read in the order posted, but chronologically it goes:
Hemlock/Ash -- Daisy -- Sway -- Sway [part 2] -- Lavender -- Coriander -- Holly -- Bellflower
Sidenote: Lavender, Coriander, and Holly all take place during Sway [part 2].
