Summary
He’s 14 years old. Nothing ever really feels good. It just feels like enough to survive. His home, his work, his hunger, his anger, his father. Just surviving.
But for some reason, one he can’t quite put his finger on, as he climbs the ladder rung by rung, satchel hanging off his back filled with squished berries he can’t possibly eat, and blood now soaking down to his collar, he feels good. He feels better than good. He feels alive.
Stede has already cleared the windowsill just before Ed makes it to the top of the ladder. Just as he readies himself to hoist in through the small opening, a hand juts out followed by Stede’s smiling face. The same smile he gave him in the clearing when Ed told him it was his birthday.
“Here, take my hand. That last step is tricky.”This time, Ed smiles back and the warmth that was isolated to his belly suddenly spreads throughout his entire body.
Or - Ed and Stede meet as teenagers and then life pulls them apart. They encounter each other again unexpectedly on the high seas.

Summary
When Mike first filled out the paperwork, he didn’t know if anything would come of it. He’d just arrived back in Ithaca after a spring break visit to the city. His neck was stiff from the weird nap he’d taken on the bus. It was snowing, in April. He didn't even have any friends to call up and announce his return, unless you counted his roommate, Jeremy, who greeted him with an indifferent head nod and a “hey, man” when Mike spilled through the door of their dorm room, shaking melting snowflakes out of his overgrown hair.
He trudged across campus the next day, past dirty iced-over snow drifts that seemed like they might never melt, and knocked on the door of his advisor’s office.
“If I wanted to transfer to another school next year,” he said, fidgeting with his backpack in his lap as he sat down in the squeaky vinyl-backed chair, “how would that work?”

here comes the rain again (and we kissed as though nothing could fall) by chameleonsd1sh

Summary
The words sit vulnerably in the air before the pounding rain washes them away and leaves him colder than ever.
There are so many things he could say. I was, or not anymore, or I just thought I was…
He stops. He’s done running. He’d been fooling himself, keeping one last secret. The same old shit, but he’s done being afraid. “Yeah, Mike,” he says, tiredly. With certainty. “I am.”
“Will…”
“Just forget it, Mike,” Will says, sick of interpreting the expressions flickering across Mike’s face, sick of looking for signals and overanalyzing and dreaming and hoping. “Forget it.”
___The rain fight parallel we were promised and the basement conclusion.

Summary
Both of their bodies shake as they catch their breath. Will’s still hard, and his sweat is starting to dry uncomfortably on his skin, but all he can focus on is Mike.
It’s times like these he’s reminded how lucky he is to have Mike in this way. To see this side of him, this side that still feels too new and too intimate and too overwhelming all at once. Sometimes, he thinks he might be bitter. Resentful of his lot in life, being so painfully in love with someone who will so obviously never feel the same way. On his bad days, he even thinks he might resent Mike.
Like this, though, he knows that could never be true. Not really. Sure, it hurts, only ever having Mike halfway, knowing his body but never his soul. Yes, it’s going to kill him when Mike inevitably finds someone new and runs off into the sunset, leaving him in the dust again.
But it’s Mike. He'll take whatever he can get.
When he and Mike end up in bed together after graduation, they fall into something dangerously easy. Or, at least, it would be easy, if it weren’t the most painful thing Will’s ever done.

Summary
“So you’ve been excited for Prom. Is that it?”
Will hesitates. “Yeah, I mean— I guess I just sort of…pictured myself with a date.”
“Oh,” Mike says, a little surprised. He doesn’t really know how to talk to Will about this part of him yet. He usually avoids the topic—unlike their friends—and waits for Will to bring it up first.
“It’s…stupid, I know.”
“No!” Mike says quickly. “No, nothing’s stupid.” Suddenly, an idea comes to him. “What if you and I go together?”
Will has always wanted to go to Prom with a date. And Mike—well, Mike doesn’t have a date, but he does have an idea.
