Ok, so today while writing my fic I’ve been thinking a lot about Alec and Magnus and why it bothers me when people say things along the lines of:
-“They aren’t technically dating, yet”
- “They haven’t even been on their first date yet”
- “They can’t be in love, they just met”
- “They aren’t boyfriends yet, they haven’t made that official”
I want to argue with these things, but I know that’s irrational and all of these statements are technically true. So today I’ve been thinking about where I’m coming from with this. Do I just want them to be at that place yet when they aren’t because I know it’s canon? or Do I really think they are moving this quickly, and they love each other already?”
I think I figured out why I feel like they are moving more quickly than you average relationship, feelings wise. This is just me and looking at it through the lens of my own life.  I understand that others may see it differently. So just my opinion:
When you are dating someone, just going on dates and getting to know them you usually give them the best side of you…that’s when things are new and shiny and good. You don’t introduce them to your crazy family yet, you haven’t gone through any huge life altering stressful situations, or even everyday stress, and you usually haven’t had a fight or shown them the ugly parts of yourself. It’s easy and light and fun. No tough stuff. Sometimes when relationships get to the point where all these stressful things are happening, that’s when the relationship is tested. That’s when it either starts to break down or it gets stronger. You either come out better than ever, or you break up. 
Think about all of the stuff Magnus and Alec have gone through together since they met:
-Alec helping save Magnus and his friends from Valentine’s soldiers.
-Alec has to deal with his sexuality and his family issues, as well as deal with his feelings for Jace and Magnus is there along for the ride, trying to offer advice and help him.
-Alec helps Magnus save Luke’s life.
-Alec just about marries a woman, knowing he is gay and has feelings for Magnus,  to help his family, and Magnus has to esperience the pain an distress of that in several ways.
-Alec and Magnus work together to save Izzy from being stripped of her runes.
-Alec and his very public way of coming out and also letting the world know he cares for Magnus, and has backlash from his family as a result.
-Camille. Nuff said.
-Alec’s parabatai is missing and he lashes out at Magnus, showing him a frustrated and angry side of himself. He then apologizes and asks Magnus for help tracking his missing parabatai, even though the tracking itself could kill him.
-Alec just about died. Magnus literally saved his life until Jace could get to him.
-Magnus has to continually deal with prejudice from Alec’s family and peers even while doing something as heroic as saving his life.
These two men may have not gone on a single date yet, but they have spent (albeit not enough) meaningful time together. And the time they have spent together has been in the midst of life changing stress and problems. They have gone through some very tough things, each time helping each other come out unscathed. Those kinds of things change you and affect you, and they often drive you closer to a person. So, no, they haven’t been on a traditional date yet, but I’m pretty convinced that there is a possibility that they could love each other. Some people fall hard and fast. Others take their time. I feel sorta like their relationship is starting out backwards, in that all the hard stuff is happening right up front, and they will get to the soft fluffy stuff later. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t in a relationship.
Sometimes you meet someone and instantly connect and don’t want to spend a day without them. These two keep choosing each other over and over. Choosing to walk through fire for the other one. I think especially in Magnus’ case, he could already love Alec, because he has experience and knows what things like that feel like. What he just did for Alec in episode 3, isn’t “I sorta like you, buddy, pal” in my opinion. It's “let me lay everything down for you without a moment’s thought to my own safety or sanity.” Is that not love?
Sorry for the rambling, but yeah, this is just on my mind today. And please feel free to chime in your opinion. Maybe you see something I don’t :)
