Summary
All of me, huh? Could he do that? He'd done so much in secret for so long, it felt terrifying to drag it all into the light. But for Till? For himself and the chance that this time, maybe, they could be different?
"Yeah."
And then Till looked over his shoulder, caught Ivan's gaze and held it. "Thank you. I know I'm really late in saying it. But I'm also really, really happy that I still have the chance to say it at all."
Till believed Ivan died sacrificing himself for him. Ivan believed Till died in the fiery destruction of the Alien Stage.
And neither knew that the other survived.
Eight years later, Till has settled into caring for the children he'd rescued from the Alien Stage Museum with the help of the rest of the Rebellion, while Ivan continues working to fulfill what he believes would have been Till's last wish. When they're reunited, they have the chance to say everything they should have said once upon a time and to discover the mutual love that once eluded them. But only if they can overcome all the scars that mark them.

Summary
“I’m just so proud of you, baby.” He feels a weight lifted off his shoulders- which is ridiculous, he’s ridiculous for thinking that she would be anything but proud. Nonetheless, he feels relieved. He smiles, fiddling with his fingers again.
“It’s really nothing.” He says, “Mike keeps talking about how they’re innate but…but they’re not. They’re siphoned, from Vecna.” The mention of his name makes Joyce’s eyes go wide.
“Well, last I checked no one else can do that.” She shrugs, her eyes still wide. Will chuckles, looking at the floor, “Hey, all I’m saying is that I think you need to have a little more trust in yourself.” She leans forward, putting a hand on his cheek. He leans into it, into the warmth of her hand, “You didn’t fail, okay?” She says, and he nods, even though he doesn’t really believe it, “You saved Mike- all your friends. You did that, baby.” She shakes her head, “Not Vecna, just you.”
Will can feel himself tearing up for about the millionth time that night, “I can make it right.” He settles on, “We just need a new plan, a better plan.”
Right, a better plan. Easier said than done.

No Reservations by TacoBellTwice

Summary
The kitchen was where Katsuki thrived. Barking orders and overseeing dishes before they went out; always on time, always perfect, always dependable. Cooking was something he could understand. It came naturally to him.
Kids? Katsuki hated them. Well, he didn’t hate them, he just didn’t understand them. Especially not Kota; the angry eyed, bad tempered kid Ochako adopted years ago. So why was he suddenly the one taking care of him? Katsuki didn’t know what to do with him. He wasn’t good with kids. Especially grieving, angry, rude kids. He had a full time job. And anger issues. And R rated movies. Why anyone thought this was a good idea, he didn’t know.
Just because he had a kid to take care of now didn't mean he'd forgotten how to do his job, though. So why did his boss feel the need to hire a new chef? One with red hair, at that. Who played goddamn opera in Katsuki's kitchen like it was okay and smiled like he was having fun.
Nobody played music in his kitchen. No one asked Katsuki personal questions while he was cooking. No one asked him to hang out outside of work. So why was this new guy doing exactly that? And why was Katsuki struggling to turn him down?

Summary
See, even when they first met, he thought Vanitas' hair looked especially silken. The contrast between his manic smile and the surprisingly kempt nature of his hair was fascinating at first glance. Bursting through an airship mid-flight didn't seriously muss it and neither did falling out of one. Instead, as they fell, it fanned around him and narrowed his gaze.
Like that, Noé felt uniquely observed when Vanitas looked at him. Like he was the sole focus of that cloak-and-dagger attention.
Even back then, the urge to run his fingers through it was present.
OR: A very self indulgent fluff fic about Noé really liking Vanitas' hair.

Summary
Before Akutagawa could realize what he was saying, the words were tumbling out of his mouth and into the air between them: “Use Rashoumon.”
Akutagawa slapped his hand over his mouth so hard it stung. Atsushi’s mouth fell open, his ears going slightly pink as he processed what the raven-haired boy said.
“Excuse me?”
Akutagawa’s face was bright red under his hand. “I didn’t say anything.”
“Did you just suggest that I teethe on Rashoumon?”
“I said nothing of the sort, Weretiger!”
or, Akutagawa, Atsushi, and the universal teenage experience of teething.

“I’m serious, Lai. I’ll take the test, then I’ll be back.”

Summary
Will sucked in a breath. “I know… we got attacked by a bunch of demos and bats. I was really overwhelmed, and I kept seeing through the monsters’ eyes—it was awful. My head hurt so bad, and then I got grabbed, I think, and… that’s all I really remember. Until waking up here.”
Mike swallowed hard, looking down at the white tile. He wasn’t sure if it was a good or bad thing that Will didn’t recall anything after passing out.
“Do you remember Mike saving you?” Max inquired, a faint grin reaching her lips. Mike blinked, turned to Max, then risked a glance at Will.
The boy was smiling faintly at Max, a blank look on his face. “Mike? Who—Who is that?”
OR
When Will gets injured during the final battle and ends up losing some of his memory, Mike struggles to come to terms with the fact that his best friend forgot him. In an attempt to recover Will's lost memories, Mike tries to remind him of their adventures together, and accidentally-on-purpose tells Will that they're secret boyfriends. Once Will's memories return, he decides not to say anything, just to see how far Mike is willing to take the charade.

“That is dumb.” She blinked. “I do not care if Will brings a boy. Will is Will. He is kind. He should be able to go with us and a boy and have fun.”

Will loved ordinary things, an uneventful existence was something he craved. Sadly, when Mike Wheeler walks into his life, Will’s easy going path snaps right in half. A passion he could never imagine overtaking his whole being.
It was too bad their friend groups hated each other and his sister had a huge crush on the musician. Off limits.
Fantastic.

Summary
Their shoulders brushed again, slow and equally savored. The kind of movement you couldn't pretend was an accident.
So Will brushed back, just barely. Testing. Flirting. Mike inhaled softly, the faintest noise escaping him. And then he spoke like he was physically unable to stay silent any longer.
“Will? If… if that boy you like…” he was standing so close that Will could feel the warmth of him against the cold air. “…If you ever wanted to tell him…”
Will felt his breath stop.
“…I think he’d want to know.”
OR: A buzzy post-vol 1 fic in which Will finally grows more confident, only for the hivemind’s possession to take it all away again. Mike may be the only one who can bring it back. And the two of them might be the only ones who can save the world.
