I'm really sorry, I know I haven't posted in a really long time... And I REALLY shouldn't be starting another multichapter fic, but I really wanted to write one where Magnus showed Alec all our other wonderful fandoms, so... Enjoy!

Prologue

Magnus loved Alec. He thought he was perfect in every way. But sometimes, although he didn't want Alec to change for him, Alec needed just a bit of tweaking. He didn't really mind that Alec didn't know who Madonna was, or that he had once said, in public, "who's Elvis Presley?" Magnus found his ignorance rather adorable, the way he would scrunch up his nose and rub the back of his neck any time he didn't know something he should. But this, this was too much. This was over the top. Unacceptable.

"I'm sorry!" Exclaimed Alec, "but I don't know why you're making such a fuss!"

"Alec," Magnus said, his voice rising, "I hope you understand exactly what you just said."

"I said 'what's a Sherlock'. What's so bad about that? So I don't know what a Sherlock is! Who cares?"

Alec loved Magnus. He was glad that Magnus accepted him how he was. He didn't really mind when Magnus teased him for not knowing someone, because he never really was angry at him. But this wasn't friendly teasing. The look in Magnus's eyes was actually scaring Alec; he looked like a deranged murderer. Alec he hated having arguments with Magnus, but Magnus was being such a drama queen! Honestly!

"Who cares?! Who CARES!? I'll tell you who cares, I care! Jesus, Alec! I'm sorry, I CANNOT go out with someone who doesn't know who Sherlock is –"

"Well I'm sorry that I'm not good enough for you. Maybe you should've stuck with Camille. I bet she knows who Sherlock is. So this is it, then? You're finally breaking up with me, like I knew you always would. I knew it was too good to be true."

Magnus looked up, startled. He had been about to suggest they watched Sherlock together; he was definitely not expecting this. He could see tears spilling out of his eyes. Alec turned and ran out the door. Oh crap.

"Alec, wait!"

But it was too late. The door slammed shut.


"Shh, Alec, shh. It's alright!" Isabelle soothed. "Although it would help if you told me what was wrong."

It was very strange. Alec had just popped out to see Magnus, and had arrived home crying! Isabelle figured he had had some sort of problem on the way home.

"Magnus, he... he broke up with me!"

WHAT?

"WHY!?"

*sniff* "because *sniff* because I didn't know what a Sherlock was!"

"What's a Sherlock?"

"That's what I said!"

"Don't worry, Alec, you stay here. I'm going to go knock some sense into that warlock!"

"No, Izzy, don't..."

But it was too late. The door slammed shut.

so, that was the introduction to what will hopefully be a non-abandoned fanfic... And I'll try to carry on one of the others, and then the other, and eventually I'll finish them both, as well as this, and then I'M NEVER WRITING ANOTHER FANFIC AGAIN! No, alas, I jest, but honestly, these are sooooo much harder than they look!

Reviews are fuel, so please! REVIEW!
