Summary
“Mikey, are you in there?”
The ceiling fan was whirling. Not that this was a new revelation for Michael, after all, he had been staring at it for the better part of ten minutes already (maybe longer than ten, he was never the best judge of time, and right now he really wasn’t to be trusted with it). Blinking slowly at the still whirling fan, the teenager turned his head, hair rubbing awkwardly on the tiles as he swallowed, mouth dry. God, it felt like there was glue caked to the roof of his mouth: when was the last time he drank something?
“Yeah.”
or, the one where michael is hiding in the bathroom at a party and luke is just about the only person in the world who can make him feel like thats okay

Summary
She couldn't do this, she had known it all along but only now it seemed to hit her as she pushed herself away from the wall, hell bent on getting out before she could try to ruin the best day of someone else's life.
And, maybe she would have left. Maybe she would have got out the door and ran for her car, probably just to sit in it and cry while the ceremony went on inside. Maybe she would have finally stopped crying long enough to drive away as fast as she could, foot on the pedal until she reached her apartment. Maybe she would have went in like everything was fine, said hello to her neighbours and whomever else she would pass. Maybe she would have went on with her perfectly normal life, cuddling with her cat and thinking about getting another three: but one old lady just couldn't quite get up the stairs.
( the short story of how taylor swift kind of crashed a wedding and she never thought she'd be one to cause such a scene in front of her exs mother. )

"Your hands are tough but they are where mine belong." by wetshoes
Fandoms: 5 Seconds of Summer (Band)

Summary
He hated himself for it because at twenty one he kissed a boy that waited for his letters. He hated himself because he whispered against the lips of a boy that deserved something more stable than someone who could die any given day. He hated himself because he got too attached to someone too stable, someone who would wait, someone who bent over backwards to see him when he was in the country when he didn't deserve it. But he hated himself most of all because he couldn't make himself let him go.
in which ashton irwin knew he wanted to join the army at seven years old, and luke hemmings was just a boy who showed up a little too late and made him wish he never had.

“It's okay to need to hold someone's hand sometimes.” by wetshoes

Summary
“Do you think we'll die?”
The whispering had stopped some time ago. It seemed that everyone ended up with the same thought: that there's no use in making a plan against a guy with a gun. Those who didn't care or simply gave up were possibly asleep, the rest were probably sitting alone, knees draw to their chests while hoping the next person to open the door will have a bullet proof vest. Or they were like Calum, leaning onto the side of someone who only hours ago were a stranger and now felt more like a friend than most people they've known since childhood.
“I hope not.”
or that one where calum just ended up at the wrong place, wrong time and bank robberies really aren't like how they're portrayed on tv.

Summary
“I’m obsessive about everything,” Neil protests, sitting in a booth with the four upperclassmen he can stand. “What makes this obsession special?”
“Okay, we get the Exy obsession, because you’re legitimately planning on going pro, and we get the Kevin obsession because he’s dedicated to teaching you to go pro, and we even get the Minyard obsession,” Dan says.
“Shh,” Neil pleads desperately, hoping beyond hope that nobody heard that.
“But the podcast has nothing to do with Exy! It’s half about music, and you don’t even like music that much,” Dan says. “It’s literally just music and a really weird guy talking about his homicidal impulses, and it sorta sounds like a joke, but on a much more real level it sounds like it’s absolutely not a joke and I would call the authorities if this guy gave any personal details at all,” Dan says.
“It’s mostly a joke,” Neil offers, but it sounds weak to his own ears.
--
In which Andrew has a podcast, and Neil falls in love with him twice.

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.
