    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

    "I want to have sex with you!" he blurted loudly and then froze, groaning when Jasper's fingers stilled and his eyes widened in surprise. "Oh God. Christ almighty. Sorry, sorry, please ignore that, I tend not to have a filter when I'm nervous. It's just you make me... you make me so... damn it. I'll go now, shall I?"

    Edward is a nervy, analytical college student who thinks far too much for his own good. He's had a crush on Jasper for years, and decides that the only way to get over it is for him to preposition the man, and then calmly accept the rejection. What follows doesn't go the way he planned at all.

    Summary

    Bruce and Clark work together, make use of x-ray vision, maintain an unexpectedly necessary pretense, get the better of magic, get the better of "science", buddy-breathe—and then, finally, kiss.

    Or: six times Bruce and Clark kissed for ~reasons, plus the first time they did it just because they wanted to. (Written for Superbat Week 2020.)

    Summary

    “You should tell me about yourself, since I’m apparently your soulmate and all,” Bucky says over the sound of clacking keys, “Where are you from? What’s your major? Any siblings? Or terrible mommy issues? Are any of the rumors about werewolves true? I’ve heard some interesting ones. These are all important to know if I’m supposed to be your destiny or whatever.”

    He says ‘interesting’ in a way that makes Steve blush and feel a little like he’s choking on air.

    “I- The rumors are- Well- We’ll get to those later.”

     

    In which Steve is a werewolf who attends the all magical Asteria University, and Bucky is his soulmate who seems to have a few secrets of his own.

    Summary

    Everyone on the US national team knows that Andrew Minyard and Neil Josten hate each other, so of course they all think it's hilarious to force them to share a room in the name of 'team harmony' for the entirety of the Exy World Cup.
