Summary
“I need a favour.” Will said intensely to the group of people assembled before him.
“Okay so last year my brothers were ragging me about going to a liberal arts college and just generally being dicks. Sibling stuff, and like, that was fine. But then Christopher was like ‘found yourself a boyfriend yet?’ like as a joke and I’d had it up to here with their shit and replied, ‘so what if I have?’ So now my family think I’m gay and expect me to bring a boyfriend to this big ole reunion. If I don’t bring one they’re just going to get worse.”
His friends all blinked at him, surprise evident in each of their faces.
“I’ll do it.” Nursey said slowly
Or the fake dating au that we need sorry not sorry.

Summary
William and Derek each must have met--seen and had a thought about, at a minimum--their soulmates on their trips to visit Samwell, as they both got the initial half of their soulmarks. They both promptly decide to cover up their halfmarks. After all, no one needed to know that Dex's soulmate thought he was dangerous, and Nursey shouldn't have to let it be known that some asshole thought he himself was unfair.
There are opportunities to be missed in hiding.

Summary
Dex, in the midst of a lecture about why a comment was Not Okay, realises something she probably should have worked out earlier.
She's not exactly male, like she'd always thought.
It's never an easy revelation, but particularly not for someone so sheltered from what her community would term as 'other', if they were being polite. She's trying her best. And trying to ignore growing feelings for Nursey while she does it.

Summary
It’s Tango, of course, who asks the question. “Is that a baby?”
“Uh.” Will’s still resolutely looking at the baby, not at anyone else, wiping some of the tears away from the baby's cheek while it sniffles quietly. “Yeah, it’s a baby. He, uh. He’s mine.”
There’s a crash, and when Will glances up, Nursey’s standing in the kitchen doorway, mouth open, shards from a broken plate on the floor around his feet. “What the fuck, Dex?”

Summary
It takes Will a long time to realize it’s happening.
Like, really happening.
The first time, he just brushes it off as adrenaline. He doesn’t think he was close enough to reach Nurse before he fell, slipping on an early patch of ice in mid-December of their freshman year at Samwell, but he must have been. He moved fast. His instincts are in tune to his D-man and best friend.
That’s all.

Ultimately, if he’s to last in Samwell and forge peace with Nursey, Dex needs to reconcile his past-driven views with the reality of the present.

Summary
It starts like this.
Nursey is fed up and young and rebellion lights like fire in his bones and goads him to act out, and Dex yearns and yearns for more than he thinks he deserves.
It starts like this, with Nursey asleep on the train to Boston and with Dex asleep on a bus to the same place. Everything, the sleepless nights on sanctuary stages and the polar bear dares into sleepy rivers, begins with two rides to somewhere better.
