more than an abandoned

Alec Lightwood leaves the Institute the day Clary walks through the doors.He doesn't mean to stay gone for ten years.After getting a call from Izzy letting him know Clary and Jace are having a child, he decides to return to New York and try to fix things. But can you fix things when you've ruined them so badly? And when the others in the situation don't want them to be fixed?~“You can’t fix a broken pot using duct tape,” he remarked, looking between Alec and Izzy. “Nor can you use magic, so I've learned. You’ll always be missing a piece somewhere under the couch.”The words rang through the air, echoing like a threat. Maybe they were, or perhaps they were a warning. Either way, Alec tensed.“I should go.” He smiled regretfully at Izzy, who looked at him with an open mouth, a plea for him to not leave. As he turned to head toward the door, Magnus spoke again.“I’ve found that the solution to fixing a broken pot is to simply buy the owner a new one.”
