the "just friends" pact by Veera_Kara for NoNameLeftForMe

Summary
Oliver was the type to forgive but not forget, so dating Connor again would probably be a mistake… But they could try to just be friends. Didn't sound too difficult, right?
[[Based off this prompt by notamademoiselle on Tumblr:
Hanging out as friends and UST, going on non-dates as friends and UST, Oliver hacking for Connor as friends and UST, Connor bringing take-out to Oliver’s apartment to have dinner together as friends and the UST.
Imagine they getting jealous over each other and pretending it’s friendly concern. Imagine they texting each other all the time and pretending it’s what friends do. Imagine they taking care of each other and touching each other and calling each other in the middle of the night and telling themselves it’s because they’re friends.
Just imagine it.]] -

Summary
“Harry! Hey bro, it’s Zayn.”
He’s confused. Zayn is normally not a morning person, often mad at the universe until eleven or so. It’s definitely odd, why is he so cheery? “Why are you in a good mood, it’s eight in the morning, Z.”
Only a laugh is heard through the phone. “I’ve had two Redbulls.”
That explains it. “What can I do for you? I’m trying to get some sleep before I head over to the studio and to my ultimate death.”
“Harry, I swear to God, you are the most dramatic person I know. It’s going to be alright, there’s nothing to worry about. It’s just Lou.”
Just Lou? This is not just Lou. This is Louis fucking Tomlinson-Styles - err, just Tomlinson now - his soulmate and ex-husband. The only person that Harry is meant to be with for the rest of his life. The person he’s supposed to have children with and live an amazing life with. They’re supposed to grow old and grey together. This universe paired them together for a life long journey.
“This isn’t just Lou, Zayn and you know that.”
Or, where Harry and Louis are divorced soulmates who are seeing each other for the first time in two years.

In the light of the lamps dotted around the cave, Jaime could see that those were not his feet."To save the world from the twisted ambitions of the Three-Eyed Raven, the Gods choose a champion to carry the torch of Azor Ahai and reforge Lightbringer, the Red Sword of Heroes. Of all the souls waiting in the halls of the Stranger, only Jaime fits the bill.

i fucking cried. when in they're restaurant, and we see his thought-process of basically, 'since alina broke up with me and i can't be her daddy, then i will be her father,' and then alina's explaining why she left him to let him find someone better and more deserving of him bc she thinks she's just a burden and not good enough and holding him back, and he stops her, physically devastated at hearing any negative words or thoughts about her--how anything that hurts her, hurts him more... and jesus christ. i Felt alina's feelings so deeply in this fic... i think all little girls, deep in their souls, yearn for the love, comfort, affirmation, and--most of all healing--that sasha's speech gave. i'm literally going to reread this fic again as soon as i post this comment, to relive the tsunami of emotions again. to feel that comfort again. the comfort of feeling seen, of seeing myself in alina, of knowing how the world hurts us girls who aren't white, blond, and rail-thin, and imagining how i might've loved myself more, been kinder to myself, been happier, if i had someone tell me i was worth it earlier, and believed. -

Summary
Louis blinks his eyes open, his eyelids fluttering as the room swims around him. He takes several gulps of beer once he confirms that he’s definitely not hallucinating, that the very first portrait Harry Styles ever painted of him is hanging on that wall.
Louis stares at the wall, his heart jackrabbiting in his chest as he realizes that there’s not just one painting of him, there’s five, the portraits lined up like they’re some sort of storyboard depicting the rise and fall of his deepest love. His greatest heartache. A pain that cut him so deep that he left the fucking country, severing all ties with his life in New York, now suddenly surrounding him as if he’d never left.
Fucking shit motherfucker fuck.
Louis returns to New York City five years after he left it – and the love of his life – behind. He didn't intend to see Harry again, but fate has a funny way of pulling them together, whether they like it or not. After making a begrudging truce, they both start to wonder: Would it be so bad if history repeated itself?

Bookmarker's Notes
Marvin's an ass. Whizzer's an ass. But oh my god, I love them so much. This story may very well be the best Falsettos fic I've had the pleasure of encountering on this site. Perfect characterization. Painful, heart-breaking, and fits the canon dynamics so well. I loved our other members of this tiny band; shoutout to Trina. Phenomenal.
Marvin being a horrible person never makes me mad... just incredibly sad. Whizzer, our wonderful narrator, is also terrible. But also very self-aware, haha. However, their imperfections makes this story so visceral and amazing. I think this story has ruined other fics of Whizzer and Marvin for me. This author is a blessing on this fandom, I tell you.
Incredible. You can truly appreciate the character development on both ends. No words can describe my love for this fic. I'm so sad it's over. (Time to stop putting off my homework...)

“It was a moment of weakness, and you were wearing that fucking black turtleneck and I haven’t gotten laid in months, Namjoon, we’ve just been so busy and… and…”
It’s no use. Seokjin’s red all the way up his neck, it’s heating up his cheeks, and he squeezes his eyes shut, grimacing. “It’s fine,” Namjoon says with a chuckle. “Like I said, it’s honestly fine.”
“But Namjoon,” Seokjin says weakly, “is there anything I do that makes you want to put the mug out?”
(A little fic based on the Jess and Nick’s sex mug from the season four finale of New Girl — the mug they used to put out when they wanted to do the do. They break up and one night, the mug is put out. But by who? PS, you don't have to have watched this episode of New Girl to enjoy the fic!)

Bookmarker's Notes
Excellent murder mystery fic to feed my desire for the HP and Criminal Minds universes to merge a bit. The plot is excellent with twists and turns that are paced perfectly. Draco and Harry’s connection is also really, really magnetic and wonderful. This is still a very Draco-centric fic, even though it’s told from multiple perspectives, and it takes a handful of chapters before Harry even shows up, which is a bit disappointing for a Harry-obsessed human like me. Very plot driven fic without much sexual content.
