    Summary

    Harry doesn’t mind that so many Slytherins from his year have returned to finish their NEWTs, really he doesn’t. It’s just – do they have to be so friendly? He’s not prejudiced, really he’s not. It’s just – they’ve got to be up to something, right? Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him.

    When he’s hit by an illegal love-spell though, Harry finds he has more to worry about than whether or not Blaise Zabini actually wants to be his friend. For if everyone affected has been blessed – or cursed, by the look on Malfoy’s face – with a magical tattoo revealing the name of their soulmate, what does it mean that Harry’s skin remains completely bare?

    Summary

    What if Hagrid caught a nasty case of dragonpox, and was unable to introduce Harry Potter into the wizarding world? What if the only other person who Dumbledore trusted to handle the situation, who was not otherwise indisposed, was a very reluctant Severus Snape? What if this one difference created a butterfly effect that would change Harry Potter's life, and the future of the wizarding world forever?

    Harry is determined to impress Snape and prove his worth beyond the stupid title and scar that have made him famous.

    Draco is determined to impress Harry Potter and become the boy's new best friend.

    Severus is determined to survive the headache that is two hyperactive new Slytherins who seem hell-bent on bending the status quo of his entire House, and their common room, to their will.

    Summary

    Mike’s entire body pulses with frustration. “Because I’m not Tammy Thompson!
    Will can’t breathe. “But–”
    I’m not Tammy Thompson.” Mike’s eyes blaze. “I’m goddamn Mike Wheeler, and I’ve been in love with you since you set my hair on fire in science class when we were ten.” His jaw clenches, and Will feels like someone let off a grenade next to his head. “I realised I was in love with you when you left me for Lenora, and realised you loved me when you made up that bullshit about El asking you to make me the painting.”
    Will feels the blood leave his face, feels his entire world shifting in an instant. “Mike–”
    “And then you stand there and tell everyone it’s this crush that amounts to the same as some girl who didn’t like Robin back?” Mike’s voice cracks. “I– how am I that to you?”
    -------------------
    Mike confronts Will after he comes out to the group, because he isn't goddamn Tammy Thompson.

    Summary

    “And I just thought- y’know, since you finally had a crush, maybe you’d want to talk about it?” Mike bullshitted.

    Will scrubbed a hand across his forehead. “Right. Um. He’s great, I mean, incredible, actually. He understands stuff, like nobody else does. He’s the only person who’s ever made me feel truly okay in my skin and I-” he cut himself off. 

    Mike’s heart almost stopped beating. Maybe he wasn’t totally crazy.

    “Anyways. Focusing on him, when it’s hopeless- it’ll just make me feel like shit. I mean, after everything, it’s just me, y’know?” Will said softly. “Just me.” 

    “Yeah, but it doesn’t have to be.” Mike said. “Why should you be alone? Just because you’re…" he took a deep, shaky breath. “...gay?” The word took effort to say, and it felt like he’d run a marathon once it’d left his mouth, his chest burning.

    Will stared and stared. “I…” his gaze flickered to the ground. “Because. He’s the only person I’ve ever…” he squeezed his eyes shut. “Been in love with.” 

    Mike blinked. Will was in love? With this boy who could maybe, possibly, probably be Mike?

    Post Vol 2. With Operation Beanstalk in motion, Mike stops running from the one thing he's the most afraid of.

    --

    “Can I kiss you?” Mike breathed.

    Will looked for a moment, like he’d been told he’d won a billion dollar jackpot. Stunned. Ridiculously happy. Then he started to cry again.

    “Oh, Will, I didn’t mean-”

    “Good tears, Mike.” Will reassured him, and then surged forward.

    Will kissed him like it was the end of the world. And it basically was, so Mike wasn’t complaining.

    Just a mindless, messy brush of lips and Mike immediately knew.

    It had never been like this with El.

    Summary

    “He says that Vecna’s going to use something against him… something that might jeopardize the plan.” She hissed to Mike, voice picking up with her anxiety.

    “Fuck, okay. Well, it’s better for us to know about it and be prepared, right?” Mike said, smiling encouragingly at Will. It might be the last time he’d ever look at Will with kindness in his eyes, and Will is reminded, harshly, suddenly, of how impossible it is not to love him.

    Karlach put it together. An infernal Blade of Frontiers. She got it. She didn’t go further than secondary school, but she could puzzle this one out.

    But what was she going to say? ‘Hey sorry your body and mind got melted because you didn’t kill me. I think I’m your soulmate though. Want to make out?’

    In which being soulmates with someone doesn't actually improve any sort of confidence or communication skills into getting into a relationship with them.

    Summary

    In many ways, Wyll Ravengard grows up in plush comfort.

    His whims are catered to by attentive servants who make sure he is fed, clothed, and content. He never grows hungry, never wants for much. His education is seen to by the best teachers his father can find, attending lessons for music and dance and even sword fighting.

    Many of his peers call Wyll kind, strong-willed, sometimes even arrogant as all young boys of his station are. He’s smart and generous for his age, running into most challenges head first and intent on succeeding. A stubborn boy with a good heart—his mother’s heart, his father will say quietly when there is no one else to hear his voice grow soft.

    But from the moment that Wyll Ravengard was born he has been wracked by pain so severe that the medics had thought he would die before he ever reached his first year.

     

    (Or, soulmates share each other’s pain.)

    "Smoke billows out from his lungs and dissipates into the cold night air. His chest rattles with emotion unspoken and he pretends his hand is shaking from the cold. He pulls in another drag from his cigarette, desperate to feel any warm respite from the unforgiving Indiana fall.

    Steve laughs at the irony of the name. Kicks a rock over the ledge and waits to hear the splash. Dangles his leg over the edge for longer than he should. No one is coming."

    Or; Steve has been planning to do this for months, if not years. So, why - standing right on the quarry edge - is he suddenly unable jump?

    “If you could see one person one more time before the big bad Ruskies obliterate us,” Robin giggles, “who would it be?”

    Steve has been feeling so wonderfully unabashedly honest for these last few minutes or months or however long they’ve been here, tied together in their Scoops uniforms and possibly dying from beating-induced brain hemorrhages or Russian poison that he says, without hesitating, “Jonathan Byers. And I’d give him a big ole kiss.”

    Steve’s only now realizing where he may have gone wrong with what he was saying, but he can’t back out now. Not with her literally telling Steve that Jonathan’s… well, not gay, but bisexual, and… in love with him?

    And Steve’s pretty sure he’s never even considered such a thing, but how can he say ‘no’? Not when she looks so hopeful and excited that they have this unique thing in common.

    “I’m just…thinking.”

    “Well, can you think out loud?” Will gripes, sounding tense and unhappy even as he settles back against Mike’s chest. “You’re making me nervous.”

    Mike laughs a little. “I’m not sure I should; I don’t want to freak you out.”

    “Mike,” and Will sounds supremely unimpressed, “I just took control of three Demos, two of which were miles away, and proceeded to snap their limbs and kill them with my mind. Not only that, I just told you that I did it by drawing strength, in large part, from being your friend. You’re worried about freaking me out? Really?”

    “Yeah, and I’m the guy who watched you do it and thought that it was the hottest thing I’d ever seen in my life, so what does that say about me?”

    There’s a long, shocked silence.

    “See, this is why I don’t think out loud,” Mike jokes weakly.

    --

    Mike falls a little bit more in love with Will because, at this point, who wouldn't? He just saved Mike's life, after all. Unfortunately, the others don't quite see it that way, and it's getting to Will a little bit. Mike intends to remedy that.
