Esp Cuz We Get To See Vulnerable Magnus For The 1st Time - Tumblr Posts

One of my favorite Malec scenes has got to be after Magnus was swapped with Valentine and he tells Alec about his mom dying and killing his stepfather. Alec desperately tries to cheer him up and make things better, so he tells Magnus it wasn't his fault because he wasn't in control of his powers. But Magnus tells him that he was, and then Alec is at a loss because he's never had to do that before. The only person he'd probably have cheered up in the past is Izzy, and there's a very big difference between cheering up your warrior little sister and your centuries old warlock boyfriend that's carrying some serious family trauma. Alec treis so hard, and Magnus understands, but it still doesn't help much.

And probably the worst part of all of this is this is the first time Alec has ever seen Magnus cry. And then in the middle of crying, he calls him Alexander, which he usually only does during an emotional moment (sometimes not but usually).
