    Summary

    “Mm-what,” he mumbles, muffled into his roughed shoulder pads, words smushed together.

    Keith sighs instead of answering. For half a second Lance tenses. But Keith only shifts again, not pushing Lance off but moving so Lance is pressed closer to him, and then the heat of his breath tickles the shell of Lance’s ear, and he tenses for a whole different reason.

    And then there is, inexplicably, the feeling of what must be Keith’s lips, pressed to the side of Lance’s skull, gentle and lingering, and Lance thinks clearly to himself: what the fresh actual and genuine fuck.

    “‘M sorry,” says Keith, so quiet it would be impossible to hear were his mouth not one single inch away from Lance’s ear. He kisses again, and he almost sags into the motion, into Lance. “I shouldn’t have been so dismissive of you earlier. I was stressed. I missed you, too.”

    Lance opens his mouth. He muffles a choking sound with all of his strength.

    “All good in the hood,” he finally manages, and then wants to strangle himself. “We’re — tight, Keithalicious.”
    ---
    OR: Somebody lied to Keith, and now he thinks he and Lance are...lovers, of some kind. They are not.

    Lance struggles to correct him.

    Keith's memories being messed up regarding order of things and Lance going through it because he thinks he's taking advantage. I couldn't have dreamed a better story. Beautifully written.

    Summary

    Roy could power a tank with the frantic pounding in his chest. “Edward asked me to teach him to dance. Formally. For his wedding.”

    “Oh,” says Riza. It sinks in, realization dawning like the sun cresting the mountainside. “Oh, that is a problem.”

    Or: the one where Roy asks Riza to teach him to dance so that he can teach Edward, and it’s all hopeless from there.

    Summary

    “So they must know you pretty well, to get you so many gifts you like,” Tensei prompts. “They must be paying a lot of attention.”

    Impossibly, Hizashi turns an even darker shade of red. “That doesn’t mean that they like me. They could just be friendly and shy.”

    Kayama grins. “Do you want them to like you?”

    Shouta would like to know that, too.

    Summary

    Arms crossed and body unsettled, Nico asked, “Did we reach the end of feelings time?”
    Percy let out a puff of air. “Almost. I just need you to know… I had someone I looked up to, too, you know? He went on a quest, which was unheard of back then. He was an unreal fighter and made me feel welcome and safe more than anyone else had. He was my friend and he made camp feel like home. And at the end of the summer he tried to kill me and spent the next few years trying to do it again, over and over. Not to mention the whole raising Kronos thing.”
    Luke. Nico had heard whisperings about who the traitor demigod had been before he’d left camp, but the stories tended to focus on Annabeth’s relationship with him, Percy caught in the middle of some fucked up triangle. Nico hadn’t really thought about Percy’s relationship to Luke independent of Annabeth. “Why are you telling me this?”
    “Because a lot of times the people we look up to are fucked up,” Percy said, hands up. “They let us down.”
    --
    Nico thinks he's too damaged to be the next Camp leader. To help his friend, Percy decides to stop hiding his own damage. The two finally hash out their feelings and bond via trauma dumping.

    Nico and Percy talking about trauma is beautiful and so freaking sad.

    Summary

    Something had changed, this spring, and Nico found himself losing his grip to the material world, shifting into the shadows without meaning to, dropping objects and slipping through floors.

    And that had been the bit Nico was less hung up on, too. What had been haunting him for the past few weeks is the discovery, made though exhausting trial and error, that the only things that helped keep him from disappearing completely were either direct sunlight, or, of course, Will Solace's ridiculous glow-in-the-dark healing powers.

    (Was he the only one? Who feels like this when Will's skin glows against his? Like every hug, every kiss and every warm touch in the world is being gathered into one place, pressed against Nico's cheek and spreading into his body, drawing him breathless, weightless. Intoxicating, golden.)

    Nico having to face his feelings is always great, but the writing in this was exquisite.
