Summary
“Why are you here right now?"
"You know why."Even craves earth-shattering romance, while Isak is too busy for anything more than a fling.
They're not compatible. They couldn't be any more different. But the cold and loneliness of the holidays leave them seeking heat in other's arms.Even might be in love. Isak certainly isn't. Or is he?
Or Isak is 'heartless', young, busy, addicted to work, and incapable of committing. And Even is a repairman who fixes things around the office, who sees right through his smokescreen, and who might end up 'fixing' Isak's cold heart.

“Oh and for the record, if I were you I would follow my example,” Jonas adds.
“Huh?” Isak frowns.
“That guy with the crazy blonde hair who's been looking at you for the past ten minutes over there,” Jonas gestures with his chin to the guy Isak spent a good five minutes staring at — yes, staring — before Jonas found him another beer. “He won’t wait all night.”OR: 3 times Isak walks away from a gorgeous blue eyed stranger named Even on New Year's Eve and one time he doesn't.

Summary
They’d been friends, back at Nissen. Just friends, both wanting more but neither admitting it until it was too late.
Two years on, Even keeps coming back to Oslo, back to Isak, though he can’t ever stay more than a few days. A relationship isn’t worth the distance between them most of the time, but at least they can pretend while he’s here.
Or, 5 times they just pretend, and one time Isak brings Even home.

Summary
“I’m Isak's best friend,” said Even, almost glaring at Jakob.
“Well, like best bud. Like we’ve known each other our whole lives,” Isak added nervously.
But then Even downed his sixth or seventh drink and leaned across the table.
“We might have known each other our whole lives, but I’d fuck you if you asked.”Or Isak and Even are childhood friends who enjoy ruining each other's chances with exactly everyone else, rewatching the same movies, taking care of each other, and pretending they're not in love.
Aka yet another ChildhoodFriends!AU that literally nobody asked for.

Summary
There’s always Isak, the boy in white and silver. And it's easy, you see, it's easy because he already has a road for him laid out. He has gotten his life, even when he hasn't figured out how to live it. He’s never really broken a rule, never stepped out a foot away from his picket fence box despite the desire he has for it to splinter around him.
And then there’s Even, the boy in black and gold. Who wrecks the picket fence box like a tornado, and promises to take Isak’s heart with it.

Summary
Maybe there’s a world where grown men can wear bandanas and skinny jeans and like Gabrielle and be fine, but it’s not Isak’s. In Isak’s world men wear suits and tame their hair and listen to hip hop, or rock, or classical music – he’s pretty sure those are the only options – and it’s comfortable, and Isak knows how it works.
It's a good time to be Isak Valtersen. The up-and-coming Norwegian authority on matters of freedom of press, several Supreme Court wins already on his resume - and still barely thirty. He's carved out a place in the world that he never thought he'd reach, but sometimes that place just feels a little too small and rigid.
Enter Even.

Summary
The guy raised his eyebrows, when Isak had not said anything for quite a while, a faux innocent expression on his face, which brought Isak back to the present.
“That’s my snapback!”
Yeah okay, Isak could have eased a bit better into the conversation instead of yelling in the guy’s face.
If possible, the guy’s brows climbed even higher on his forehead.
“Excuse me?”
Isak could feel the blush spreading from his chest to his cheeks.
“I mean.. yeah, that’s my snapback and I want it back.”
The guy grinned, “I really don’t think so.”

Summary
Isak never wanted to work with Even, but maybe it really was the best thing for the both of them.
Or: AU where Isak and Even are both actors and have heard rumors about each other but don't actually know much about the other person and are forced to play opposite in a film. Slightly hate to love.

Summary
“Can I tell you a secret?” Even murmurs, tracing mindless patterns- zig zags and hearts and stars and infinity signs- up and down Isak’s bare back. He circles freckles and counts them, adding them to his never ending tally of things to know about Isak.
Isak snuffles sleepily, “Mmhmm.”
“You have made me happier in less than a year, than I think I have been in my entire life.”
Eyes flicker open, hazy green; beautiful and open, “Ditto.”

Summary
"Sometimes, it felt like they were worlds away from the people they were when they first met, both lost in their different ways and searching for their places in the world. They had come so far from that, become so much stronger, and finally had both feet firmly on the ground most of the time. But then sometimes, on a day like this, where they were curled up together sharing slow, lazy kisses, with Isak’s fingernails leaving half-moon imprints in Even’s skin, and Even’s hands buried in Isak’s hair, it felt as though no time had passed at all."
