Summary
Magnus Bane has lived for four hundred years. He has collected buildings, memories, and an truly unreasonable number of rings. He did not expect to add 'inexplicable fixation on the tall shadowhunter in apartment 4B' to that list.
Alec Lightwood is just trying to get through the week without incident. He has gym and temp jobs, a chaotic found family, and a very sensible collection of polo necks. He did not expect his new landlord to be, in any conceivable way, his problem.Magnus Bane is becoming his problem.
A Shadowhunters AU where Valentine died after the first uprising (good riddance), most shadowhunters retreat to Idris with a few remaining to keep an eye on the downworld but mostly live as mundanes and cover their Runes, and a small collection of idiots are just trying to live their lives in New York City (with a debatable success rate).
Also Isabelle is a menace with black mail material. Of which she can, and will, use.
