Summary
And the elevator comes to a stop. A bell rings. The doors open. David all but runs out of the enclosed space, but before he can get far, his steps come to a sudden halt. He turns just slightly, just enough to see Jack staring at him, and says in a rushed voice, “It was good to see you.”
And then David hurries away. Because David, after all of these years, is still just a coward.
***
Jack Kelly and David Jacobs used to be inseparable, until they both pushed each other away.Now, thirteen years later, they're given the chance to come back to each other- with the addition of a new obstacle. Will they rise to the challenge, or fall into a cycle of past mistakes?

Summary
"Now, it's not as if Davey has a crush. They've never even met. Jack has no idea who he is. Davey follows him on Instagram, but so do hundreds of thousands of other people, because Jack is talented, charismatic beyond belief, and one of the top contenders to bring home a gold medal for America this year. They don't actually know each other at all... but Davey supposes he could be considered a bit of a fan."

davey jacobs is the captain of the US men's national water polo team. he's been training practically his entire life for this moment, his first ever olympic games, so he can't afford any distractions. especially not one as pretty and charming as jack kelly: world-champion diver, olympic silver medal holder, davey's longtime pseudo-celebrity crush, and his newly assigned olympic village roommate.
how could this possibly go wrong?

Summary
Even the great Jack Kelly isn't immune to sickness every once in a while, no matter what he likes to say. This time around, though, he'd made the rookie mistake of fainting in front of David, and is suffering the consequences by being held captive in the Jacobs' apartment until they deem him better.
Actually, it might not be all that bad.
OR: Jack gets sick and recovers in the Jacobs' apartment, with no small amount of tomfoolery.

Summary
Anthony Crowley is 22 with a raging alcohol problem. Something is missing, he knows it, and acknowledging it might land him in some rehab facility. His bandmates are worried about the "27 club" but truthfully, the way Anthony's going he's surprised they think he'll make it that far. Touring America is enough of a reason to drive someone to drink, much less the empty pit in his very soul.
Ezra Fell is a nurse in California, overworked and short-staffed. He's just about ready to head home to London where the rest of his family is. He doesn't even know why he's stuck around this long after finishing residency early, something just felt right about staying just a little longer.

Summary
It was a truth universally acknowledged that an angel in possession of no memory must be in want of a wife.
No, that was the wrong book. The wrong line. Aziraphale frowned.
“What,” the gentleman before him asked, “and I mean what, are you doing here?”
-----------------
Or, two years after things fall apart, Aziraphale shows up at Crowley's doorstep without his memories. The easy part is getting it back, the hard part is getting them back together.

Jack comes across a flyer advertising free cake samples to all engaged couples, but he’s missing one important thing: a fiancé.
He does, however, have Davey, a fake ring, and a lot of enthusiasm.

Summary
Esspresso_depresso is a well known author online. He's notable for his poetry and his knack for writing short stories that capture real world anxieties in fictional settings.
Esspresso_depresso’s best friend is theloreax, a shy boy who pushed him to continue writing after his first short story.Connor Murphy is the school stoner, and he knows his parents believe he’ll never amount to anything. Evan Hansen is so invisible that he doesn’t even get a fancy title like ‘school stoner’, and has lived his life with a parent who thinks more of him than he could ever become.
It’s funny and it’s strange, some people manage to become friends twice over without even realizing it.

Summary
They really weren’t joking about these being skinny fit, he thought as he tried to wriggle the offending article higher over his hips. They budged a little, but any attempts to button them resulted only in breathlessness and a mild stomach ache. Glancing down, he sighed, lying a hand across his middle. It was easier to blame the cut, or the company, or any other excuse rather than look in the mirror and see the truth.
He’d gotten chubby. Again.
AKA the chubby Emmett fic no-one asked for. Based on the post by @jewishemmettforrest, but with my own spin (hope that's okay)
