Often, the fanfic will delve into their memories of each other. They might remember the good times they had together, which makes the break - up even more painful. Alec might think about the first time he saw Magnus and how that moment changed his life, and now it's all falling apart, making him feel a deep sense of loss.
Some fanfics might show Alec being very stoic at first, hiding his pain. He's used to bottling up his emotions as a shadowhunter. But later, he might break down in private. For Magnus, he could be more openly heartbroken, showing his emotions through his magic, like making the room around him dark and stormy.
The fanfic could also explore how their friends react to their break - up. Their friends might try to get them back together, but Alec and Magnus are too stubborn or hurt to listen. This adds another layer of emotion to the story as their friends struggle to deal with the situation.
One reason could be miscommunication. Maybe they didn't fully understand each other's needs and wants. For example, Alec might be too focused on his shadowhunter duties and not give enough time to Magnus, who would then feel neglected.
Maybe there was a big misunderstanding or some external pressure that made Magnus act that way.
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.
Well, one possible plot development could be that they initially avoid each other. Alec might throw himself into his work with the Shadowhunters, trying to forget Magnus. Magnus, on the other hand, could start traveling to different magical realms to distract himself. But as time passes, they might start to cross paths again, perhaps due to some common threat to the Shadow World. And slowly, they might start to remember the good times they had and question if the break - up was really the right decision.
Obviously, Alec and Magnus are the main characters. But new characters could also be introduced. For example, a new Shadowhunter trainee who looks up to Alec and tries to help him get over Magnus. Or a powerful warlock from another dimension who becomes Magnus' friend and tries to show him that there are other options besides Alec. There could also be a seer who predicts that Alec and Magnus are meant to be together and tries to nudge them in the right direction.
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.
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.
Often, it shows a great deal of sadness. Tony might be depicted as feeling lost without Pepper. He could become even more withdrawn into his work as a way to cope, but still be constantly haunted by memories of her. For Pepper, she might feel a mix of anger and heartbreak. Anger at Tony for not being able to be the man she needed, and heartbreak because she truly loved him.
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.
Perhaps Taebyung was very cold and just walked away without much explanation.
