Summary
A Bellarke AU in which Bellamy and Clarke are childhood best friends, separated by life and trying to relearn each other again.
*
"You would, yeah."
He frowns at her wistfulness, looking like he's caught between spreading his arms for her and rejecting every memory they made together. "I would what?"
"Fill your apartment with books, have a fire escape so you can run away a little and - and I bet you still keep sunflower seeds around, don't you?"
Bellamy flashes her a rueful smile and she's back into the day they shared her bed, his body curled into hers as they watched their lives being pulled apart at the seams.
This is the real distance, and it is not measured in miles. It is measured in time you spent away, time that is lost, time that can never be brought back.

Summary
On the word of his best childhood friend, Ellis takes a different path than the one he dimly remembers his father walking. There are no wrenches in his hands, and there are no cars for him to repair. Instead, his fingers are calloused from guitar strings, and he's known in a handful of Savannah's bars as Ellis McKinney - a young man with a golden voice, and a shy, sweet way of talking, when he's not onstage.
On the word of the law, Nicholas Cassidy bounced from foster home to foster home, leaving behind the one good thing he'd ever had back in Savannah, Georgia. When he got old enough, he started traveling - seeing the states, and running into some trouble doing it. Nick is back in Savannah, now, and he might be able to find his way home. He just has to keep remembering.

Summary
Lance finally writes about Keith.
Because finally he knows what to say, because this thing they have right now, that fits into the spaces between their bodies, nebulous and made entirely by themselves, is new and different from anything before.
To Lance, Keith is all brimstone and flame, like hot coals under his feet, urging him on and on and on, but also burning like the sun, a steady presence. He’s fireworks and candles, the heat winding through Varadero homes in summer, the warm sands of both his Sonoran desert and Lance’s beach. Keith is like Earth to Lance, in the same way rain and sea are, a constant now, in the way his memories of Cuba are, something he carries with him.
Lance writes in the book Keith gave him, waits for Keith to wake up on his bed, sheets beside him mussed as has been normal of the past few nights, and writes.
or, lance becomes a poet, learns how to deal with life and all the complications that come with it, and falls in love for the second time (because the first was already reserved)

Dear Old Friend (maybe more, maybe less) by easybeak

Summary
Steve was still thinking, hardly paying attention to Bucky or anything else around him. He nearly missed it at first, when his eyelids started to flutter, and the heart monitor picked up and he turned his head to look at him, his blue eyes squinting in the bright sunlight.
Bucky took a breath, swallowed, and said five words that felt as though he’d torn Steve’s heart out and stomped on it.
“Who the hell are you?”
Steve Rogers receives news from an unexpected source that his best friend, Bucky Barnes, is alive. Armed with this new knowledge, he sets out to find him. When he does, however, he is a shell of his former self and far from what Steve remembers.
Bucky struggles to recover himself as he starts to remember where he came from and who he was before HYDRA. As he adjusts to the reality of the twenty-first century, he discovers new parts of himself, and he sees Steve in an entirely new light. They grow to be as close as they were before. Steve is just the way he used to be, to Bucky’s relief. He does what he can to help, even though with every bad turn it seems like he’ll only be able to take so much.
Unfortunately, Steve may not be what he seems after all.

Summary
He looks…
God.
He looks really, really good, and frankly, Yoongi is just the tiniest bit offended. The last time he saw Taehyung he was this tall, lanky boy with huge ears that made his head look ridiculously tiny. Yoongi remembers him as the gangly kid, unable to keep his mouth shut even if his life depended on it, who could get knocked over by a stronger gust of wind. Now he has apparently grown into those stupid ears of his and his chest looks so broad and firm that Yoongi has to sit on his hands to physically stop himself from reaching out and touching it to make sure it's real. This— this asshole also got himself piercings and what looks like a leather jacket and that is just… unacceptable. What happened to Yoongi's little annoying neighborhood friend?

my heart to your beat -- larkspur_9
●・○・●・○・●
Lan Wangji and A-Yuan are doing fine on their own. (Not that they’re entirely on their own. They still live with Shufu, and they wouldn’t be able to get rid of Xichen if they tried.) But they’re happy, is the point. They have a good life. They don’t need anything more.
Lan Wangji has no regrets, no need to dwell on anything he’s missing.
It used to be easier to believe that, until the day he turned on the radio and heard the voice of the person he’s spent years trying not to miss.
[After Wei Wuxian disappeared in high school, Lan Wangji searched for him for years without any luck. When he suddenly reappears as a famous musician, Lan Wangji finally has the chance to tell him that he has a son.]
