    Summary

    “So,” he says, after a bit, the sound of Mozart accompanying them, “Has something happened in my absence?”

    Leonie looks at the ceiling, “No, David, while you were away on your little pleasure trip, the whole of Venice held its breath waiting for you.”

    David sends her a glare, then turns to Sara, “A non-sarcastic response?”

    Sara stops playing and turns around. “There’s the new boy.”

    David raises his eyebrows, “A boy?”

    Sara smiles and folds her hands in her lap, “No, the boy.”

    Leonie groans.

    Or, an 18th century AU set in Venice, featuring David as a painter, Matteo as the new boy in town, and a lot of pining.

    Summary

    It’s the third day of Hannukah when David gets a message from his parents.

    He is trying to draw the view outside their windows, all the roofs and the lights hanging from the balconies, but he keeps messing up the perspective. He is about to erase it all out again, when his phone vibrates with a new message.

    He opens it and when he sees his father’s name, he lets the phone drop to the floor.

     

    Or, a story in which David thinks about the festive season and his relationship with his parents, Matteo is his usual annoying self, Hans and Mia are insomniacs, and Laura is a good sister.

    Summary

    One day, Matteo accidentally sees a guy dance in the rain outside. Afterwards he keeps...seeing him.

    Again and again and again.

    Maybe fate really is trying to tell him something.

    Summary

    One day, Matteo had come into his room, where David was sitting on the bed and drawing, and he had said, looking slightly muddled and holding both of their toothbrushes, “I just realized that my whole bathroom cupboard is filled with your things. Want to save even more space and move in together?”

    So here he is, taking his old drawings from the walls and trying to remember where the fuck he put that one old pair of shoes that he never wears but actually likes very much.

    “I can’t believe this is over.” Laura says, next to him on the floor.

    Or, a story about finding a family, ancient heroes, moving in together, pfannkuchen, lonely gods, depression, and seashells.

    Summary

    “Matteo, you tried eating dog food last week, just because, and I’m quoting, ‘It’s food, too, how bad can it be?’”

    “It costs almost more than my usual dinner, Amira. It was reasonable and purely financially motivated research.”

    “You’re a dumbass, but that’s exactly why you’re perfect for this job.”

    Or, Amira needs Matteo’s help with something and our Best Buds go on a little adventure

    Summary

    David knows he doesn’t completely fit in a world built for the cis male-female binary and for white people. He probably never will.

    But neither does he want to.

    Every day he discovers something new about himself. Every day feels a little like a fight.
    Every day he tries desperately to do the right thing. It’s all he wants to do, after all.

    The right thing.

    Or, David battles with the concept of masculinity and with actions he didn’t knew he was capable of doing. But this time, he has Matteo and his friends beside him.

    Summary

    Every summer, for two weeks, his parents used to drop him off at his grandfather’s house at the seaside to get some time alone.

    The North Sea was grey and cold, but it was the sea, wild and beautiful.

    And David loved it.

    Or, a story about the sea, the wind, grandfathers, films, ghosts, sunsets and a boy finding himself along the way.

    Summary

    “Did you know,” and Matteo can’t believe he’s about to say this, “that, after a while, the hearts of lovers begin to beat at the same frequency? How crazy is that?”

    Just a quiet moment between two boys in love on a rooftop in Berlin.

    Summary

    When Jonas saw Matteo and Sara make out at the party, he was certainly surprised, as Matteo had shown absolutely no previous interest in Sara or really in any romantic relationship before, but he was also proud of his friend; look there, he had said, elbowing Carlos, our little Luigi actually has moves!

    (It’s probably either the inherent italian charm or that typical Matteo-ish charm that does it. It’s the mix of awkwardness, idiocy and surprising sweetness that had first drawn Jonas in, too)

    Or, Matteo’s and Jonas’ friendship through the years, through Jonas’ PoV

    Summary

    Some days are slower, heavier than others.
    Some days, David feels lonelier than the last man on earth.
    Some days, nothing fits like it’s supposed to.

    It’s a good thing he can go home again, where lightness and self-made quiches await.*

    Summary

    It's like this: they're both beings of the sky, rebels and artists, too strange and colourful to fit.
    And it's also like this: they kiss and Dizzee feels the colours break out all around them.

    Summary

    The snow was cold and silent as it fell on his face. It felt almost like a hand brushing his brow, a promise whispered by a lover, a smile given by a fascinating, wonderful stranger.

    Or,
    Montparnasse, a thief and a master of shadows, of unheard steps and hushed voices, wasn't expecting someone to be following /him/.
