Summary
The boy who worked the graveyard shift at Brazenhead Books was bird-thin, and pale, and kind of scowl-y. He was always reading enormous dry texts with titles like Tort Law and Alternatives and Intro to Comparative Constitutional Law. He drawled like Matthew McConaughey and the hair just above his right ear never lay flat.
Ronan was probably in love.

Summary
"I'll be able to play next week," Jeremy jokes, "don't worry."
Jean scowls. "That is not the only thing I care about."
Jeremy was only teasing, but Jean's response and the look on his face—irritated and entirely sincere—make Jeremy come up short.
He can tell that Jean cares about him. He can. Hearing it is just… different. Different enough to sort of make his brain stop working.
Or, Jeremy's having a rough time. Jean makes it better.

Summary
He keeps remembering the chafe of Ronan’s shoulder against his ribs as they got oriented in his little bed, the glisten of tears and nightwash wringing his lovely eyes, the lonely twist in his unguarded late-night voice over the phone, the one that Adam had almost liked, because it meant that he was indisputably missed. It was worse, that Ronan had been trying so hard for Adam, because it was easier to tell when he stopped.
Adam's perspective throughout Mister Impossible, as his worry reaches a fever pitch, and the two versions of himself begin to converge.

Summary
Maybe, for a moment, Will thought he could let it go. He thought he could move to California and pretend that Hawkins never happened. That the Upside Down never changed him. That there were people like him, even if they were hidden. That he could forget this. Forget Mike.
Mike, who’s drowning in lamplight, looks completely ethereal. Mike, who wouldn’t let him sleep alone in the basement, who wouldn’t let him be lonely, not for a moment.
“Will?”
But it’s back. It’s full force, a freight train in his chest every time he so much as looks at Mike. Maybe he’ll never let it go. Maybe that’s his cosmic punishment for being gay; never falling out of love with Mike fucking Wheeler.
or, a 5 + 1 fic of mikewhatthefuckdidyoudogate (what could this boy have done in 18 months to turn Will "Putting Milkvan Bones Back Together" Byers into Will "How Obvious" Byers)

Summary
Neil is nothing and everything all at once, the entire universe for Andrew, however small of a universe that is. Even Aaron is starting to see it, though the pieces still don't line up.
And Andrew is trying to convince Aaron that he's never jealous? Yeah right. You don't spend your entire life being denied, being hurt, going through foster care with nothing to call your own only to be okay with someone else trying to take the one bright piece of life you call yours.
Or, Aaron is done with Andrew's shit and makes it his job to prove his brother wrong.

I mean, what else could Nicky have done when he spotted Andrew smiling at the hot guy making his coffee?
Not meddle?
Not get all the Foxes on board?
It's like you don't even know him.

Summary
Neil gets drugged at Eden's. Again. They get him back quickly, but the parallels fuck with everyone and reveal what happened with Nicky the first time around.
But Andrew remains flawed, so doesn’t know anything is happening until he hears Nicky gasp. Nicky makes a lot of unnecessary noises, so this one isn’t especially concerning—not until Nicky’s hand flashes out to grip Andrew’s arm and he says, “Andrew,” with such strained urgency that Andrew’s head erupts into a riot of alarms.
He follows Nicky’s pointed finger and sees, through the thick forest of bodies, Neil. With some guy. Kissing. He’s out of his stool almost before he can consciously register the scene, leaving the scarred black metal toppling to the ground behind him and shoving into the crowd. Something is very wrong. Neil had been too still. Too loose. An unstringed puppet. Andrew knows what Neil looks like when he wants to kiss someone, and that—that isn’t it.

Summary
Neil Josten had walked into the Foxhole Court a jumble of lies and loose ends and somehow he had been lucky enough to find a family. It seems inexplicable that after everything, he’s allowed to walk out of the other end with a future and a plan and, most surprising of all, Andrew Minyard by his side.
Or, Neil plays his last game as a Fox

Summary
Andrew's eyes slide to Neil’s own, hazel and framed with eyelashes dark enough to belie his natural hair colour, and his expression does something complicated. “Neil, I presume?”
“Andrew,” Neil nods, confirming and asking all in one.
Andrew hums. “Audacious of you to laugh at my height when you look to make a pretty decent arm-rest for Kevin, yourself”
“Not your height,” Neil allows, “your pride. I would have gotten a stool”
“I would have pushed you off of it”

Summary
The smile splitting Neil’s face in two is a soft thing, gentle and wonderful and the most genuine the expression has ever felt settled into his mouth. “I think you like putting up with me”
“Shut up”
“Make me,” Neil tells him.
“Marry me,” Andrew replies.

Summary
Kurt and Blaine could easily not have met on a staircase in high school. They could have met a few years later in college instead.
This story is AU from within 2x06 ("Never Been Kissed"), with many of the broad strokes of canon remaining except where I thought they would be different because of the AU or other factors. It takes place in Blaine's first year of college, starting about a year from now. There are some spoilers through 3x22 (“Goodbye”).
Fuller notes and the LJ master post for this story can be found here. Special thanks to intrepid beta and hand-holder stoney321, who made the best encouraging noises when I said "I've been thinking about who Kurt and Blaine might be if they hadn't found each other in high school" and who never stopped.
This story is now completely posted.

Summary
"You're going out to dinner," Finn says, all disbelief, but Blaine doesn't pay him any attention, keeps looking at Kurt looking back at him, and presses on: "I also thought it would be nice to catch up with my best buddy. You know, since we haven't really gotten much of a chance to talk this week."
"No, we definitely haven't done a lot of talking," Kurt murmurs, low and insinuating.
"You're going on a dinner date! Am I the only one who sees this? Am I going crazy?"
(Post-4x14, "I Do." Blaine takes Kurt out on a Very Platonic Outing.)

Summary
In an alternate universe, all babies are born with a level of empathic sensitivity to others; an ability to sense emotions, to glimpse deep into a person's soul with just a kiss. Except Kurt Hummel. Registering at a mere 0.5 on the Hawkins Scale of Empathic Sensitivity, Kurt has resigned himself to a lonely life, empty of touch or true love. That is, until the mysterious Blaine Anderson transfers to McKinley, and everything Kurt thought he knew was changed. But finding love is never easy, even in a world where everyone’s emotions are shared. This is the story of the boy who could not feel, and the boy who felt too much.
