Malec AU Thread #SaveShadowhunters
Magnus and Alec meet at a bar one night and have a great time. But Alec’s life in the public eye follows him everywhere. That night changes both of their lives, but maybe dealing with the fallout is worth it for both of them.
A Malec Royal AU

Taking place in the country of Idris, the capital city of Alicante (shadowhunters and downworlders don’t exist in this verse)
Alec is the crown prince of the royal Lightwood family
Magnus is a normal person, founder of a non-profit.
