Malice

Malice is the femslash ship between Margo Hanson and Alice Quinn from The Magicians fandom.

Season 1
UNAUTHORIZED MAGIC

Margo, Quentin and Eliot are sitting together when Margo notices Alice. She says that there’s one of those every year, Quentin asks what she means, and she clarifies that she mean overachievers. Shy but is smarter than everyone so knows that everyone hates them. Quentin has no idea how Alice does magic, and Margo is shocked to find that’s Alice Quinn. Margo says not to compare himself since she comes from a whole family of magicians. She then calls to Alice, to join them and make some friends, but Alice just quickly walks away.

THE SOURCE OF MAGIC

Alice, Eliot, Quentin and Margo get to the cottage. Alice tries to leave, but Margo pulls her to her room and tells her that she has the perfect dress for Alice. In Margo's room Alice drinks from a bottle. She asks if Alice knows what the thing was that attacked the class, but Alice doesn’t know. Margo says she thought Alice might know given her family. Alice says that her family didn't teach her, and Margo says hers too. They were just pointless and toxic. Alice says that she never formally learned magic as a kid, and Margo says that she heard that Alice was never invited to take the entrance exam. She then asks how she was even able to find Brakebills. Alice says that it’s not that hard, and Margo says they’re in the Bermuda Triangle of Upstate New York. She asks how Alice was able to get through the wards, and Alice just says that her parents had alumni keys. But Margo knows that those are unstealable. Alice says that she stole one, and just wanted to go to school. She asks why Margo cares, Margo says because she’s curious and might actually want to be Alice’s friend. Alice doesn’t feel like Margo wants to be her friend, but Margo just scoffs. Alice says she needs to go and hands Margo the bottle, quickly leaving.
