Lovers in the Backseat, by MissAnonymoushp

Magnus had been getting Alec to do a lot of things he had never done before, and it was just really starting to piss Jace off. Not because he didn’t want Alec to try new things or be happy or to have a healthy sex life (well, maybe not that part, because – well – that was just too confusing to get into)… He just wished that Alec had been able to open up to him all these years instead.

Jealousy. Great.

Adult, voyeurism. Jace sees a bit more than he’d bargained for… This is funny and seriously sizzling.

Until I’ve only used my Tumblr to rec stuff – and then along comes Alec Lightwood and parabatai feels, and my shippy little heart (which always goes for the BFF pairing) can’t help itself…

For the record, I love the Jace/Alec relationship on the show (Parabatai Lost, anyone? *wibbles*), platonic love between men is beautiful and important (as long as it doesn’t ignore the canonical history of Alec’s non-platonic feelings for Jace). But in fandom we get to play with ideas canon can’t/won’t, and romantic!Jalec is one of those. 

Soul Deep, by icewhisper

He had exactly one picture of Alec and himself, a quick shot on his phone that he’d insisted on when they’d finally made it out for their first date. […]

He hung the picture on his wall beside a picture Isabelle had given him of Alec and Jace. That one was clearer, both boys smiling and with Jace’s arm slung over Alec’s shoulders. He kept them together in his own sign of respect, because even if he hadn’t particularly liked Jace much, he understood the bond between parabatai.

Mature, post-season 1. Death isn’t the end. I love Magnus in this.

“Allow me to put this in a way that I know you’ll understand,” he’d said. “Get it done, or I’ll have your parabatai held down and I’ll let the crew take turns with him. And I’ll make you watch.”

Adult, post-season 1, canon-divergent. Alec went with Jace, giving Valentine the perfect leverage.

His chest hurts. His heart beats faster, he has trouble breathing. Everything Magnus described and then some, except Alec has been feeling this all of his god damned life and it’s so familiar he could scream. This isn’t about desire; it never has been. Alec has loved Jace for so long that he hardly knows who he is without this love, and it’s starting to look like he never will.

“I don’t want you to get hurt,” he says finally, and Jace smiles. It’s a small, crooked thing, and it hurts Alec to see it.

Adult, post-season 1. This is intense and proof that it’s entirely possible to ship a pairing without having seen the entire (or even most) of the canon… What can I say, I’m a sucker for this parabatai thing and Alec Lightwood’s soulful eyes. 🙂

I watched a couple of eps of this show and wasn’t particularly hooked. However, there’s something about Alec and his unimpressed face… Music: Walking On Sunshine (instrumental), by Katrina and the Waves.
