Not all rescues involve prison breaks (for magna_bane)
No matter how much Alec wanted Magnus to stay with him, it was impossible while he was at the Institute. During the day, the other Shadowhunters would let her follow him around, giving her a wide berth and glaring at them both but at night, it was forbidden for her to remain on the grounds. Not that Magnus had followed those rules. She snuck into his room most nights, curling up with him as they both fought off nightmares based on the things Sebastian had done to them.
The nightmares became less frequent the more time they spent together and Alec found himself hoping for her to visit, his mood turning dark whenever she couldn't be near.
No matter how often he told himself that she had to work, he could never shake off the sadness that lingered in his thoughts whenever she didn't sneak into his room. After a few nights' absence, Alec's nerves were strung tight, afraid that Sebastian had found her. When he was sure that no one would notice he was missing, he changed into his gear and slipped out of his quarters, instinct and her hints about her life away from the Institute guiding him into the village. Listening in to a few rumors about the new girl who cast spells led him to a small hut that made him pause.
He had to be wrong... Magnus couldn't be here...
Before moving toward the hut, he checked for any sign that there was anyone nearby. When he was sure they'd both be safe, he crept to the door, calling out to her before even trying the door. "Magnus, are you here?"
