In the context of a fanfic, Magnus might use his magic in a positive way. He could create a magical bond or a truth - revealing spell between him and Alec (with Alec's consent, of course). This would allow Alec to see into Magnus' thoughts and feelings, and he would know for sure that Magnus is not cheating. Magnus could also start spending more time with Alec and less time on his own or with other people, at least until Alec's suspicions are completely gone.
They need to have an open and honest conversation. Magnus should explain his actions clearly to Alec. If there are any misunderstandings, they can be cleared up right away.
Maybe Alec noticed Magnus being secretive about his phone or meetings. If Magnus is suddenly cancelling their plans often without proper explanation, it could make Alec suspicious. Also, if Magnus is overly friendly with someone else in a way that seems inappropriate, like getting too close or sharing personal things that he usually only shares with Alec.
One possible reason could be that Magnus has been spending a lot of time away from Alec. Maybe he has been staying out late at night without a proper explanation. Another reason might be that Magnus has been secretive about his phone or messages. Alec could have seen Magnus being a bit too friendly with someone else, which made him start to suspect cheating.
Through the adoption, they might face external challenges like discrimination from certain parts of the Shadowhunter world. This would make them rely on each other more. They could have late - night talks about how to protect the child and in the process, they would share their fears and hopes for the future. This would strengthen their emotional connection and make their relationship more mature. Also, seeing each other as parents could add a new layer of respect and admiration for one another.
One common way could be through using his magic in a subtle way. For example, he might use magic to create situations where Alec has no choice but to follow his lead. Maybe he makes it seem like the only option for Alec to protect his friends or family is to do what Magnus wants.
Harry can start by being completely honest with Draco. He should sit down with Draco and tell him about all his recent activities, who he has been with, and why. For example, if he has been working on a project with a classmate, he can explain the details of the project.
One characteristic is the focus on the relationship between Alec and Magnus. It could be their romantic relationship, like in many fanfics where their love story is explored in great detail. Another is the exploration of their individual personalities. For instance, Alec's loyalty and Magnus's magic are often highlighted.
He may also try to reason with Magnus or the kidnappers. Alec is a smart guy, so he might try to find a way to get out of the situation through dialogue. He could point out the negative impacts of their actions on everyone involved.
He could start by being completely honest with Ginny. Sit her down and tell her everything he has been doing, leaving no details out. For example, if he was working on a project with another character, he should explain the nature of the project, who else was involved, and why he had to keep it somewhat of a secret.
Love is a very common theme. Their relationship, which is between a Shadowhunter and a warlock, is full of challenges and the fanfics often explore how they overcome these through love. Another theme is acceptance. Alec has to accept Magnus's different lifestyle as a warlock, and Magnus has to accept Alec's duties as a Shadowhunter.
