Summary
His captain was like a storm, going where ever caught his fancy, disregarding all rules and laws and every person, man or woman, marine or pirate, who ever told him his dream was impossible. Because for some odd reason, the weakest of the Blues had given him Luffy, standing in the middle of that damned courtyard without a care in the world, asking for the impossible, asking a pirate hunter to become a pirate.

Summary
Being Harry Potter's best friend isn't always fame and beating off raving fans. It's also the anxiety of hearing your best mate's been cursed by another Dark Lord, or love potioned by some crazy woman. Or having his boyfriend you knew nothing about turn up on the Burrow's doorstep. Crime/Mystery fic.

Summary
“Rules. Like, there’ll be no eating in my car. You’re not driving my car. No heavy metal,” Steve keeps listing, “you’re not picking up women and fucking them in m-”
“I'll try to control myself,” Eddie interrupts with a quip, a smirk. Fucking girls in Steve’s car, or anywhere else for that matter, isn’t going to be an issue, unless something pretty fundamental shifts in him.
Steve continues, completely ignoring Eddie, “You’ll wipe your feet. You’re not dragging dirt all over my car. No hitchhikers. No cutesy road games. No smoking in the car. I’m not paying for all the gas.”
“Ass, gas or grass, got it,” Eddie says, like he's taking this very seriously. He is not taking this seriously.
Or: Road trip!

Steve nods and anchors his leg over Eddie's thighs and just keeps talking until he's said it all. The good, the bad and the ugly. It’s like he’s giving confession. Eddie listens. And silently gives him absolution.
My favorite line btw
genuinely distraught by how much i am in love with this fic

Summary
“I think I’m stuck.”
Eddie laid his hand over the strings of his guitar to stop the cord, leaning over the edge of the bed to look down at him.
“Metaphorically,” Steve clarified.
“I’m gonna need a little more than that, baby.”
Steve sighed, leaning back against the edge of the bed. “I don’t want to work minimum wage or climb the corporate ladder or whatever, I want… I want something that makes me feel the way you do when you’re on stage. I want to feel like it means something that I’m still kicking.”
“What do you want to do?”
“You’re gonna laugh.”
“You planning on becoming a comedian?”
“Eds.”
“Stevie.”
Soulmate AU where soulmarks don't turn until the person actually loves you, rather than upon meeting. Unturned marks are just ink until the person who loves you touches them and turns them into bright, colorful tattoos. Or a character study on Steve, the people he loves, and the people who love him.

RUINED ME.
ME VS STEVE'S INSECURITY BROUGHT BY HIS PARENT'S ABSENCE. I CAN TAKE EM I PROMISE I CAN WIN
“Because we have time,” Steve said breathlessly.
“All the time in the world,” Eddie promised, sealing it with a kiss, softer, gentler now.
FUCKING RUIN ME. TAKE ALL THAT I AM AND I WILL THANK YOU FOR IT.
THIS FIC MAKES ME SICK IN ALL THE DEVESTATING WAYS A FIC CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. HOW CAN I EVER RECOVER. WHEN WILL I EVER WANT TO RECOVER

Summary
He's in the market for a house, it's not his fault the Creel Murder House is the cheapest place he can find. It's kind of the perfect house, really, Steve's got a big family.
Eddie fumbles in rolling the blunt. They’re sitting in Eddie’s room while he rolls on the tray balanced on his knees. “You’re — you’re giving me a key?”
“Yeah. I don’t know if you want to move out of here but uh… option is there if you uhm, need it?”
He stays staring at Steve, fingers paused over the tray like the ridiculous caricature of a stoner caught red handed by the cops. “For real? What about rent?”
“Yeah man, of course. I know you haven’t been sleeping great here for obvious reasons and like, a new place isn’t going to help that much but…” He shrugs. “Got more rooms than I know what to do with, so fuck rent. I’m getting keys for you and Rob next week and maybe some for the kids, I don’t know if I trust them with keys to my house.”

Summary
Harry Potter always thought that life following the war would be worth living. However, six months after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry finds himself overwhelmed with violent grief and an unwanted PTSD diagnosis. Exhausted, Harry seeks to be the teenager that he should have been, attending Hogwarts parties, meeting new friends, and discovering his sexuality.
When Ministry documents leak the possibility of a hidden Horcrux in an alternate reality, Harry realizes that he never will find peace. Paranoia brings back dangerous old habits, and Harry is determined to end any chance of Voldemort's return if it's the last thing he does.
In a freak accident, Harry finds himself on Earth's Echo, a seemingly perfect reality that has never been touched by Voldemort. The only problem: Draco Malfoy is unapologetically in love with him. It's a problem that Harry is willing to overlook if it means he never has to go back to the miserable life he was living -- until he realizes that there's much more to this so-called perfect reality than it seems, and it sends Harry deeper into the universe than he ever wanted to be.

Bookmarker's Notes
The way every single dialogue is so thought provoking and so well executed has me by the throat.
Themes about soulmates and love has also shown me a brand new perspective of it I'm literally crying my eyes out (I stayed up till 5am just to finish this)
The only thing about it that I thought a miss was this exchange:
"Ready, Potter?" Malfoy called out, his breath visible in the frosty air.
Harry nodded, feeling his heart pound for reasons beyond the thrill of the game. "Ready, Draco.”
I was so ready for the "scared, potter?" -- "you wish" line. I still enjoyed the entirety of the work, I'm just really attached to this line lol

Until Harry does.
