    Summary

    “We’re best friends, I guess. But more than that. It’s different. It’s like… we need each other. When we’re together, it’s like… amazing, and I’m so happy, but when we’re apart it’s like… like the whole world falls apart. Like I don’t know what to do, I can’t function. We just… need each other.”

    ----

    Summary

    “Look, if you’re another, uh, avatar of a horrible eldritch demon god come to assassinate me in a spooky manner, could you get it over with quickly? I haven’t eaten all morning and I’m starving.”

    The thing that calls itself Michael stares.

    “And this sandwich cost most of my weekly salary,” Gerry adds after a belated moment.

    Summary

    “Hold on—” he reaches a hand towards Martin’s face, “you have a piece of dust or fluff or something.” Jon’s fingertips brush his cheek, feather-light for just a second, and then they’re gone, leaving the scent of coriander and mint in their wake.

    It renders Martin nearly dizzy. “Oh,” he breathes, “thanks,” he says, and it’s almost inaudible, even to himself.

     

    Childhoods are discussed during grocery trips, feelings spilled over wine and Scrabble, and marriage
    proposed on linoleum flooring.

    Summary

    Not for the first time since they ran away together, a camera reel of all the things they don't know about one another whirs behind Martin's eyes, and he can't help but look at all the sprawling magnetic tape and wonder if they’re going to wind up a romance or a tragedy.

    or: Office parties, garage bands, and the joy of being known.

    Summary

    They still haven't talked about it, any of it, not even to pass the time on the long train ride to Scotland. Instead, Martin fell asleep in the seat next to him, pressed into his side from shoulder to knee, and Jon thought about love confessions and verb tense and how the two fit together when you think you're dying.

    or: Good cows, mediocre poetry, and other crucial topics of discussion.

    Summary

    They’ve been travelling on and off together ever since they both graduated from the Academy, and they’ve got a rhythm between them that makes sense. Rantaro doesn’t always connect with people like that. He keeps his distance. He has to.

    But somewhere along the line, Kiyo has become his closest friend. Travelling together, experiencing things together, it’s all been parts of his journey he wouldn’t trade for anything.

    Isn’t it only normal to want to spend more time with his best friend?

    “Sorry about that,” the voice says, and suddenly the curtain has been pushed aside, and Zuko is speechless. “What can I help you with?”
    He stares. “Um— ”
    The boy has to be around his age, he’s sure of it. He’s got the most perfect tan face Zuko has ever seen, with blue eyes so brilliant it’s hard to form words.

    or

    The college-age AU in which Sokka fixes watches, Zuko struggles through engineering, and everyone's nervous about the cute boy from the jewelry shop.

    Summary

    The moment she stepped out of that bus station and onto the street, one large suitcase, a backpack, and a worn-out guitar case in hand, she could feel everything change. It was a cliche to say the least, and Trixie knew that she was the classic farm girl who had hopped on a bus from Milwaukee to Chicago with big dreams and little to no idea of how to make them reality.

    She was running, both towards and away from the things she loved most, the things she was most afraid of.

    ***

    alternatively: Trixie Mattel pursues a major in costume design at Columbia College in Chicago and is definitely not falling in love with a certain blonde film major.

    Summary

    After falling from the tree didn't do the trick, Evan begins to seek out another solution. A partner. Peer pressure to get the job done. He spends several weeks trolling a website with a section called Suicide Partners after breaking his arm. He finds a potential match in someone else who is looking to make sure they actually pull the trigger this time (metaphorically speaking).

    Three guesses whose message Evan responds to.

    It's Connor's, of course.
