“The hazelnut stracciatella,” he says, as always. They might or might not have a bet in the shop about whether he’ll ever vary.

Summary
Dan fell into this world that he doesn't belong in completely by accident. He doesn't do art - he isn't capable. Instead he writes how he's feeling in huge, obnoxious, poorly painted letters. Pink letters, at that.
Some people have Twitter. Dan has a can of spraypaint.
In which Dan works in a café by day and is a graffiti artist by night. And he's hopelessly in love with his best friend Phil. Of course.

Bookmarker's Notes
"It's a night he thinks he'll always remember. The warmth of Phil next to him and the coldness of his breath on the air, the two of them speaking in secret whispers and watching the trains go by. It'd been everything Dan had wanted it to be.
When the sun had started coming up, pink and gold shooting through the sky, Phil had been utterly mesmerised by it all, the light glinting off his glasses.
Phil had watched the sunrise and Dan had watched Phil. It was preferable that way. The play of emotions on his face was more dear to Dan than the purplish clouds that blew softly across the city sky, golden-orange light bathing Phil's skin in the most beautiful light, shadows from nearby buildings cutting a stripe of darkness across his face."I had to save those beautiful descriptions for posterity. This fic is simply adorable.

Summary
She knows things will be different in a big city. She will no longer be the only one that doesn’t fit into the cookie cutter standards most people in her home town seem to have no issues squeezing themselves into. She will meet people like her, and she will meet people nothing like her, or her family, or anyone she knows. She's ready to meet people so different, unique, and colourful that her own character pales in comparison. She’s ready to step it up and make sure she doesn’t pale in comparison for too long.

This has to be one of my favourite-ever fics. I'm updating this bookmark in 2021 and can honestly say this fic helped me figure out my sexuality (bi girls represent!). I am also a sucker for the college AU.

Summary
[“There’s this thing that you do,” Alec murmurs. “This power you have that makes you look indestructible.”
“You know that’s not true,” says Magnus.
“I do,” replies Alec, “But even then … there are times when I’m not so sure.”]
1992, New York, a city hanging on to politically-tinged Cold War feelings. Alec Lightwood is a Corporate - a superhero for hire - jostling with a secret identity, holding on to a sense of a normal life, and the fact vigilantes keep turning up murdered in the gutters with no explanation.
Things can only get worse when Magnus - an investigative journalist - starts peeling back Alec’s carefully-crafted mask … and then there’s the mysterious vigilante with the power to move things with his mind who keeps turning up wherever Alec goes - Alec just can’t cut a break.
A neonoir slow-burn superheroes AU about identity, truth, and falling in love without knowing someone’s real name (ft. everyone has superpowers because I couldn’t help myself).

Probably the best-written fanfiction I've ever read. Seriously, it's novel-quality.
"Alec’s felt enough of love to know it’s as easy as breathing.
And it would be easy, in any other life, to tell a beautiful man that Alec might be falling in love with him over a fine dinner and a glass of wine and soft, muted candlelight, rain beating down on city streets beyond cast iron framed windows." - Chapter 12 -

Summary
For someone he'd hero-worshipped for so long, Steve Rogers in the flesh is a pretty big disappointment. For one thing, he keeps looking at Tony as though he reminds him of someone else, and even if he never says anything, Tony's pretty sure it's his father. A lifetime of not measuring up to Howard's expectations is more than enough, thank you very much, and he's certainly not going to make an effort to live up to any of Steve's. Steve's pretty clearly failed to live up to his expectations, in any case, and that's not hypocritical at all.

The writing is incredible - I got goosebumps. I also love the full-circle ending.
