Stiles remembered meeting Mr. Cho one night when he was wandering the streets of the dark city two whole hours away from his humble home. The man had a smile a little too sharp around the edges when he asked if Stiles wanted to be his apprentice. The man knew two things for certain tattoos and magic. Stiles lands in New York the summer going into his senior year of high school meeting the two people who would become the lovers of his life: Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood.
