I'll believe in anything (and you'll believe in anything). by thousgay

Summary
Will’s eyes flicked to Lucas. His eyebrows were high up on his forehead, eyes widened, and he shifted up a little straighter, like he was intrigued. Like he knew what was coming, and was bracing for it.
“And— and it’s like… shit, it’s like— kind of awful, y’know? Um. To figure out. The thing’s not awful. Well— maybe. Probably. Possibly? You guys might think so. My dad thinks so. I kind of think so? Uh. Well. Not as much. Not anymore?” His shuddering hand gestured outwards, pointing at nothing, a wide gesticulation of no substance or meaning beyond nervous habit. Mike sucked in another harsh breath. “And it’s like… this— this massive thing. Like, life-changing. It’s kind of re-contextualised my whole life, actually. Like I’ve suddenly switched D&D classes, or something.”
Or: Mike is the Party member everyone believes is gay. Mike is also the Party member that comes out first.
Or: the answer to MWTFDYDgate.

Summary
“I don’t think that it has to mean that you’re into guys,” Lucas says. His words are accompanied by a casual shrug, and said in the tone of someone who has clearly already given this subject some thought. Will doesn’t know what to do with that information. Jump from a building, maybe. “I mean, we’d all get flustered if Spider-Man carried us in his arms.”
Mike points to him enthusiastically. “Thank you, Lucas.”
Dustin looks between the two of them, his eyes narrowed.
“...Would we?”
“Sure,” Mike concludes. “He’s attractive. That’s not a weird thing to think.”
Will just barely resists the urge to bang his head against the table. He feels Dustin’s eyes glued to his burning face, and sinks even further down his chair.
In which Mike tells Spider-Man that he has a crush on his best friend, and Will jumps to some very wrong conclusions.

Summary
"When Jake looks at his children, he feels like he wants to live. He feels hope, and strength, and faith, and innocence.
Recently, he's also felt despair.
He held each of his children's kurus to connect them to their first communion with Eywa. He held his children's hands as he taught them to shoot their first arrow. He held up their spirits in a time of darkness, because it was the only thing he could do.
He also held a knife to his eldest son's neck, and prayed for the strength to drive it through his carotid.
He can’t forget it."OR

Summary
Lo’ak’s eyes lift. “Promise?”
Jake lifts his pinky. “Pinky promise.”
Lo’ak’s smaller pinky wraps around it, serious as anything.
“See?” Jake says softly. “That’s another thing others can’t do—but we can. And pinky promises never break.”
Lo’ak nods solemnly. “Ever?”
Jake squeezes his finger gently. “Ever.”
. . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆
Jake Sully loves his son. He just doesn’t always understand him.
Told primarily through Jake’s POV before, during, and after The Way of Water, this fic explores Lo’ak’s childhood, rebellion, and the cost of silence, carrying its consequences forward into Fire and Ash, where love, guilt, and survival are anything but simple.

Summary
“Cute bentos… A cute name, too,” Bubble Girl muses. “Kacchan must be really cute, huh?”
“Huh? Cute?”
He isn’t sure if that’s the word he’d assign to the other. Katsuki is like a glowing firecracker: bright, breathtaking, and quick to snap. Although, Izuku considers, he can be cute sometimes. Like every morning, when he tosses Izuku’s bento box into his face. Like when he rolls over into Izuku’s space on the bed and knees him in the stomach. Like how the space between his brows gets wrinkled whenever he gets absorbed into one of Izuku’s “shitty chick flicks,” creasing further in defiance when he’s caught.
(or: post-graduation, izuku struggles to cope with change. a reencounter, a roommate arrangement, and things become a bit more complicated—as always with bakugou katsuki involved)

Summary
At times, he wished he could give Yoshiki his eyes. Maybe then the truth would be as clear as day, and instead of a hideous beast, Yoshiki would finally recognize himself for what he was—the breeze that eased the summer’s heat, the soft glow that lingered at dusk, and the quiet radiance of moonlight shining over a sea of sunflowers.
“Your moles’ pretty.” The words spilled out before Hikaru could stop them.

Summary
This is his fourth reset. Every time it’s disorienting. Every time he thinks it will be his last. Every time he wonders what kind of life he will live and when it will inevitably end.
Every single time he is killed in the line of duty. It’s not always the same way, but there is one constant. Every time he dies, it is always at the hands of Izuku Midoriya.- Language:

Summary
“Izuku.” Uraraka repeats as she motions at the person stood next to her. Green curls, average height, and, well. Up close, not such a bad smile. Uraraka points a thumb at Bakugou and enunciates slowly, “This is Bakugou. He can speak sign language too.”
Wait. Sign language?
The stranger— well, Izuku— looks at him with a raised brow. Their free hand lifts up as they make a slight motion of the hand.
‘Really?’
*
Bored out of his mind at a house party one night Bakugou is introduced to Izuku, a deaf student who offers to help teach Bakugou sign language in exchange for a favour-- or well, is prompted into asking for a favour.

Summary
When the grumpy grasp gets ahold of him and the down days stretch into bad weeks, Eijirou goes to the airport. Not to book a flight or consult a travel agent, but to.....people watch.
It sounds crazy, but it works.
"Ah, young love. Enjoy the honeymoon phase while it lasts!" A deep voice calls out.
The warm face at his neck moves back, and Eijriou struggles to keep him upright as those legs have yet to move from around him. The cute stranger's voice is tight with what sounds like mild frustration.
"Actually, we've been together for years!"
Oh, that's the game plan? Cool, Eijirou rocks at improv.
Eijirou goes to the airport single and depressed, but leaves happy and engaged to a stranger?

"But this? He isn't afraid of this anymore, of what they have or what it's become. It feels big and important in a way he doesn't have words for yet, but that makes him think of the way he used to feel, like when he would imagine the future in ten, twenty, thirty years out."

Summary
Mike moves in, bending over a bit to be eye level with Will. The wrist and palm of his left hand on the blanket beneath them for stability, his fingers hovering over with the joint still between them, and his right hand cupping Will's face.
Will can feel Mike's thumb gently dragging back and forth on his cheek and hopes Mike can't feel the way that they're radiating heat.
Mike carefully turns Will's face to the side, allowing himself to align their lips without clashing noses. His eyes trained on Will's lips and Will's lips only.
Their lips brush again, for a longer period this time, and Mike begins to exhale the smoke from his mouth. He can feel the way Will's mouth contorts around his own, aiming to inhale the most smoke possible.
And then Mike finally pulls away, his pupils blown and eyelids drooping. Will notices the hint of blush along his cheeks and the slightly wild and daring look in his eyes.
Mike's hand lingers on Will's cheek, mindlessly stroking his face, which now feels very warm.
Or
Max, Lucas, Will, and Mike go camping, and Will and Mike sneak off to get high.

Summary
“All right, Wonder Twins, prepare to meet your maker.” Dustin points a finger at El and smirks. “Never have I ever had a crush on Mike.”
Mike keeps his face neutral while El drinks, as is his ex-boyfriend-turned-best-friend duty. He sees a little movement out of the corner of his right eye, though, and he turns to follow it.
Will is taking a hit off his joint.
“Wait…” Mike says, cutting off Lucas in the middle of his never-have-I-ever announcement. His gaze doesn’t waver from Will’s face. “What?”

Summary
“Y’know what I’d do if I wasn’t here?”
“What?” Will picked at a particularly painful hangnail.
“Eat a pizza,” Mike breathed. "The food here sucks. And about two gallons of ice cream, I’d just shovel that shit down until I puked it all back up. I’d play one really fucking long session of D&D with you guys, and then some Mario. Actually, I’d go to the arcade. And the movie theater. And the mall.” He sighed. “I used to hate it there, but what I’d give to go back and spend one last day in Starcourt worrying about stupid girls.”
Will nudged him slightly, grinning. “El’s not stupid.”
“It’s not my fault you don’t like girls…” Mike reminisced wistfully, staring out across the distance. “Man, I was an asshole.”

Summary
“Can I tell you a secret?”
Mike asks, when they finally lie down on the roof - the stars above them the only light of the apocalyptic night.
Will hums in response, his attention focus on the process of lighting his own joint.
“You’re pretty.”
Mike says with red eyes and smoke escaping his mouth in small puffs, as he breathes in the lit up drug.
“You can’t just say that.”
Will argues, when he manages to kick his body out of the frozen state. He’s still not turned to face Mike, his focus on keeping their bodies from touching.
“Okay.”
Mike’s voice is stable, when he turns his head, his arm reaching out to snake around Will’s waist and pull himself close to his best friend’s face.
“You are, though.”
or
Mike and Will getting high, when the world is ending.
