    Summary

    “Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”

    “Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.

    “How do you know?”

    Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.

    That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.

    “He has to know,” Andrew says.

    “Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”

    Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

    Summary

    “Uh-huh,” Mike says faintly, and he yelps when they narrowly avoid the edge of a shining skyscraper, and his hands clutch onto Spiderman instinctively. “Oh – my fucking God, that –”

    Spiderman’s fingers press a little firmly into Mike’s shirt. "Just – hang on!"

    "What do you mean just hang – was that a pun," Mike sputters, clutching onto Spiderman for dear life as they swing through the city, and he can hear the superhero laugh through the racing wind in his ears, the rumble of it under Mike’s arm wrapped around his middle.

    In a city of superheroes, Mike keeps running into Spiderman, much to his dismay.
    On a completely different and unrelated note, Mike also attempts to woo and charm his neighbor into a date.

    Summary

    All it takes to ruin the careful equilibrium of a non-relationship is a handmade cup, a pixelated screenshot, and Megumi's family.

    Summary

    You run, Reggie.
    You run, and you keep on running.

     

    It's the last thing Sirius said to him, before he disappeared. And Regulus is trying—he's trying so, so hard. But he can only run for so long before he collapses, half-dead and delirious with exhaustion, in the middle of god-knows-where.
    He wakes up in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar house, staring at an unfamiliar man—a man who, inexplicably, and for the first time in years, makes Regulus feel as though he might finally be safe.

    OR:

    1890s cowboy jegulus au. with an added twist and turn or two, just for fun :)

    Summary

    No one, it turns out, really knows one another.

     

    (OR: all it takes is a summer-long holiday in Italy, James Potter's teetering mental stability, a secret relationship, friends with benefits, Marlene’s secret, and enough stupidity and insecurity to go around for everything to come crashing down around them.)
