Shadowhunters: Waking Up On The Wrong Side Of The Bed by annieapple24
Waking Up On The Wrong Side Of The Bed (Alec/Magnus, Clary/Jace | PG13 | 15,188 words): Clary and Alec switch bodies. This is just plain fun. Awkward and weird for Alec and Clary and their partners, but fun for me reading it. I like the details about what feels different about being Clary's body, and I like how both couples find ways to express affection while still being respectful of the body they're in.
Excerpt:
Clary scoffed. "I can walk fine. Mostly. Your feet are so big, though. I stubbed your toe earlier, too. Sorry."
"It's fine," Alec said. The sensation of having to lift his arm high up to place it on his own shoulder was very strange. "Our bodies are pretty different."
She laughed half-heartedly. They sat on the couch again. "Is it weird being a whole foot shorter?"
Alec repressed the urge to grumble. "I have to look up at Jace now to talk to him. It's the worst thing ever." It was offensive, really. In no world should Jace be taller than him.
That won him a real laugh, though it quickly turned into choking when Clary's too-high laugh twisted Alec's vocal chords in a new way. Alec decided he was thankful he wasn't too prone to bouts of random laughter. It sounded painful.
"It's really not that bad," she insisted. "I know it's different than you're used to, but a lot of us shorties find it attractive when someone is tall. Just wait 'til you’re standing next to Magnus."
No. No, Alec couldn't think about Magnus being so much taller than him, no way.
