Within the shadows, we find light by ToTheStarsWriting for Foodsies

Summary
For the first time in a long time, things finally felt like they were going well. The shadow world had settled down after everything with Lilith and Jonathan, the Clave seemed to be making a turn for the better, and Alec’s life seemed to finally be on track. He had great friends, a better relationship with his parabatai, and a husband he loved more than life itself and who loved him in return.
He should’ve realized something would happen to mess that all up.
An attack during a routine patrol leaves Magnus caught in a magic no one understands, the life-force slowly draining out of him. They’ve exhausted every resource they have to try and save him. But after weeks and weeks with no cure in sight, and Magnus’ condition slowly worsening, those closest to him seem ready to give up.
All except Alec.
With all hope lost, Alec goes to one last group of people to try and help him save his husband’s life. But will the price they ask for prove to be too much for him to pay? Or will it be worth it to save the man he loves?

Summary
From the moment there’d been shadowhunters, there had been the guardians. Those willing to go above and beyond their people, their Institutes. Ones willing to bind themselves through magic and rune with a warlock. To pledge their lives to one another, and to the fight against the hordes of hell.
These days the Guardians weren’t nearly so common. It was rare for a warlock to be able to find a shadowhunter who would willingly do the oath with them. Even if some thought it a great honor in the beginning. that had clearly changed. Now, the only time Alec saw any hint of the peace that was said to once exist between the denizens of the shadow world was at events like these. One week, every five years, where all parties gathered together in a ritual as old as their race.
Alec had been interested, once, until he realized what it would mean. Giving up his life, his Institute, his family? A Guardian had to be prepared to let all of that go. Their life became the whim of their bonded and the War. Where their bonded went, they went. And with a lot of the new rules against Downworlders, that meant that there would be so many places a shadowhunter gave up ever seeing again. He couldn’t abandon his people like that.

Summary
The world is full of elemental energy: not angelic, not demonic, but both. Or perhaps neither.
Magnus and Alec harness it.
