A/N: This fic really has a special place in my heart. It’s one of the first BNHA fics I ever read, and it’s the one that really pushed me to read more for this fandom. The prose is mesmerizing and the way the story flows is just phenomenal. I think about this fic every once in a while, and I always remember it fondly.

The sun was bearing down on the park, on Andrew, on Neil Josten’s sketch, his auburn hair and blue, blue, blue eyes.

After a dozen tries, Andrew clicked through his photos. All the way to the first one. The one where Neil was staring straight at the camera.

it's about growing up, getting older, living on a lover's shoulder (it's about time) by babyturtle (@turtles-whynot)

Author’s summary:

The Sana-and-Isak-Childhood-Friends ft. Bookclubs AU you didn't know you were looking for.

Sana and Isak might've spent more time fighting than reading the first day the met, but sometimes that's just how it goes. Usually. Usually that's how it goes. With Sana and Isak specifically. In their mostly dysfunctional two person book club.

Or, life is hard and growing up harder, but take my hand and I'm right there with you.

The absolute standout thing to say about this fic is that it revolves around the Sana-Isak friendship dynamic, and in a lot of ways is more about their relationship than their respective romances, which are sort of secondary. We think this makes it an interesting AU, especially for anyone who wants more ‘best buds’ in their life! We also think the author does a pretty good job capturing the feelings of being young and having crushes and dealing with growing up, while actually making the characters feel like teenagers--not letting it get too heavy. 

“Hit me with the good news, Pidgey!” Lance cheers, dropping his chin on both of his hands as he stares at Pidge through the glass. His friend rolls her eyes in exasperation before she lazily clicks the right button from her end and speaks.

“Well, Blue Paladin,” she says slowly through the speaker, “I’m actually quite pleased to announce that you’re still below Red.”

“What? How come Mullet has more audience than me? I literally have the busiest hour of the day.” Lance scoffs, throwing his hand in the air in annoyance as he starts to pace around the booth. “What does he has that I don’t?”

“Uh, good content, for one?”

Lance snaps his head back to the main cabin where instead of just Pidge, he sees now two figures standing behind the glass. Both of them grinning at him smugly. Assholes.

“Oh, bite me, Mullet!”

[Or the one where the team has their own radio show inside their college campus and the Laith tag on Twitter slowly turns into a trend whenLance and Keith start flirting thinking the other doesn't mean it. Miscommunication at its best.]

Keith's still trying to adjust to his new role of New York's Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and now that school's back he's got a whole lot more to deal with. This includes trying to juggle his academics, keeping his secret hidden from everyone especially from his Spider-Man hating cop brother and most importantly not looking like a total moron in front of the boy he likes.

Let's just say it's not an easy gig.

The only tangible evidence the world had for the phrase ‘the universe works in mysterious ways’ was the black marks that could be found on the skin of those who had yet to meet their soulmate. Everyone had a mark at some point in their life…well, everyone except Lance. But he had learned to live in spite of his missing mark. What else was he supposed to do when the universe turned its back on him?

The mark on Keith’s skin was a curse. At first, he had wholeheartedly looked forward to meeting the person that would accept him no matter what. But as the years went by, he found himself believing the harsh words that had been repeated to him over and over again: Who could ever love someone like him? No, it was better to hide his mark away. Never having a soulmate was better than having one and losing them.

What will happen when both of them learn how mysterious the universe can actually be?

Prince Lance of the Lenula Kingdom is cursed with the sudden ability to soar through the sky without his control. It’s like gravity itself has suddenly given up on him, and him alone. The only way to keep his feet on the ground is to – for some reason – touch his best friend, Prince Keith of the Marmora Kingdom. Who he happens to be very much in love with.

And the cure might have to force Lance to let him go.

Or, Prince Lance has to make a choice between saving himself, or losing his childhood best friend.
