anne malec

Some of the 'Malec in an Alternate Universe' fanfics are also very popular. These fanfics take the two beloved characters and place them in different settings, like a modern-day high school or a fantasy world completely different from the Shadowhunters' universe. Readers are drawn to these as they offer a fresh take on the Malec relationship and allow for new and exciting storylines.

Love and acceptance are very common. Since Alec is from a more conservative Shadowhunter background and Magnus is a warlock, their relationship often involves themes of breaking boundaries and finding acceptance within their respective communities.

The main characters are Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood. Magnus is a powerful warlock with a flamboyant personality. He has a long history and is known for his magical skills. Alec is a Shadowhunter, part of a group that hunts demons. He is initially more reserved compared to Magnus and has to deal with his own insecurities as well as the expectations of his family and the Shadowhunter society.

Another feature is the re - imagining of powers. In a crossover with 'X - Men', Magnus' magic could be compared or combined with mutant powers. Alec's skills as a Shadowhunter might also be enhanced or changed in this new context. This allows for some really exciting action sequences and power - up scenarios.

One great Malec time travel fanfiction is 'Back to the Beginning' which takes Alec and Magnus on a journey through their past. It beautifully explores their relationship in different time periods and adds a new layer of depth to their characters.

Popular malec shadowhunters fanfiction often focuses on the intense emotional connection between Alec and Magnus. It dives into their love story, highlighting their differences and how they complement each other. For example, many fics explore how Magnus' centuries - old experience contrasts with Alec's more sheltered shadowhunter upbringing, creating a rich dynamic.

Their story started with an initial attraction. They were drawn to each other's personalities and looks from the very beginning.

One idea could be that Alec, from the Malec universe, stumbles into Lucifer's realm while on a mission. He's initially confused and on guard. Lucifer, being the charming devil he is, tries to make a deal with Alec. But Alec, being true to his Shadowhunter values, refuses. This could lead to an interesting dynamic where Lucifer is intrigued by Alec's integrity and Alec is both repelled and fascinated by Lucifer's world.

Popular themes include magic and power. Since Magnus is a warlock with great magical abilities, fan fictions might focus on how his magic affects his relationship with Alec. Also, the theme of sacrifice can be seen, where either Magnus or Alec might have to sacrifice something for the sake of their relationship or the greater good. Additionally, the theme of cultural differences is common as Magnus has a very different background from Alec in terms of his long life and warlock culture.
