millie’s long list of malex fics | caught in the moment by prouvaireafterdark / @prouvaireafterdark​​

Michael is digging through his tool box when he hears a familiar voice behind him say, “Hey, Sanders. Wanna take a look under my hood?”

He turns around to see Alex Manes standing before him in all his emo glory: a black band t-shirt tight across his chest, immaculate black denim skinny jeans hugging his thighs, and a messenger bag stuck with pins slung across his shoulder. His eyes are lined in black, like always, and he’s got a beautiful smile on his face, one of those rare ones that are becoming more common by the day. Michael would like to think he’s got something to do with that.

Five times Michael Sanders’ dad almost walked in on him with Alex and one time he did.

comment: if you haven’t read lynne’s whole michael sanders au, you should absolutely go and do that. written in the wake of the sanders-tried-to-adopt-michael revelation, this is a beautiful, much happier version of the teen!malex story. i love it so much. please don’t stop at this fic; read the whole series!

“Target acquired,” Alex says, the bone-conduction microphone picking up even this soft confirmation. He’s walking through the library aisles with a few books in hand as he moves towards his target, not taking his eyes off him.

Not that he could. The man is hard to miss, given that most people don’t have golden curls that differentiate them from pretty much everyone else in town. With his target in sight, Alex shelves books to make it look like he’s not trying to reach any particular destination, but that he’ll come across the target in the process.

Alex Manes, undercover FBI agent, is eager to find a way into the illegal car operation in Roswell. He's got a lead in Michael Guerin, along with permission to get information by any means -- even if those means include seduction.

comment: if you know manda, i probably won’t need to convince you to read this one. she brought us another deliciously trope-filled au for malex week last year, and it’s honestly just so clever and hilarious.

He’s still wearing turtlenecks at his high school graduation.

A character study of Alex Manes with regards to his relationship with his body and his sexual partners (and Michael specifically).

comment: there is so much beautiful language in this fic and it just bowls me over every time i reread it. it touches on some issues that alex has with sex, and how michael is a safe space for him. it’s about how much they want each other always. it’s so good. i feel something different every time i read it. remember to check those tags before you read!!

“Explain it to me again — why do we need to pretend to be married?”

It’s a question Michael knew was coming, but not one he has a good answer for. Not yet. Maybe not ever.

He cuts his eyes away from the road to steal a glance at the passenger’s seat for the seventeenth time in the past hour; the view is the same as always. Alex, frowning so deeply his entire face is drooping downward, his dark hair dancing in the wind that whips through the windows as he stares at the simple silver band circling his ring finger.

Its twin sits on Michael’s hand.

A Malex Fake Marriage fic.

comment: the absolute joy that this fic brought me (and others) during may/june cannot be accurately described. i eagerly awaited an update every day and mattie never disappointed. now that i can read over the whole thing, it’s only gotten better. the ramp up of tension, the action of the second half, it involves a list of amazing tropes, the main of course being fake marriage. god, it’s just so good. but don’t take my word for it! get over there and read it!

millie’s long list of malex fics | Sunday Mornings by adiwriting / @adiwriting

Michael lays in Alex’s bed, unable to sleep. It’s late enough to be considered early for some. He knows it won’t be that long before the sun starts peeking out and waking his boyfriend up. Alex is physically incapable of sleeping in. For now though, Alex is passed out and has been for several hours. And, for the record, not that Michael has ever had any doubt, he’s looking incredibly sexy even in his sleep.

A collection of one-shots centered around Alex and Michael's sacred Sunday mornings together, starting with their first Sunday back together and going from there.

comment: fics like this make the hiatus bearable. this is a series where every chapter is a new sunday in michael and alex’s lives. it’s a soft, gentle exploration of their domesticity and love for one another as the sundays roll by. but more than that, it envisions are future where they get to be happy together and have the space to carve out time for themselves, amidst whatever their wider family is doing. (there’s also dogs, so you know it’s good).

“Do you believe in soulmates?” Max asked once.

a “mishmash of scenes” from michael’s perspective up to 1x03.

comment: this is kind of an exploration of 101 - 103, from michael’s perspective. it’s about how much they feel for each other, no matter how much time has passed. it’s just beautifully written and i wanted to share it with y’all!

“The bunker in my basement,” Alex preambled. He waited until Michael swallowed his coffee before he leaned forward and asked, “What do you think about turning it into a playroom?”

Michael’s brow crinkled in confusion. “A playroom? What, you got some nieces and nephews coming to visit or something?”

Alex laughed before he could stop himself and the expression on Michael’s face soured a little. Alex shook his head, grabbing Michael’s hand across the table. Letting his voice drop to that pitch that drives Michael crazy in the best way, he clarified, “Not that kind of playroom, baby.”

Smutty Malex one-shots focusing on D/s themes with plenty of tenderness and aftercare to go around.

comment: i’m sure you all know @prouvaireafterdark for her delightfully smutty fics by now, but if you’re not familiar with this little series than you should definitely check it out! it involves the unconventional use of the cabin’s bunker, plenty of bdsm themes, and an equal amount of love and tenderness. i cannot emphasise enough how nsfw these fics are.

For the first ten years of his life, he’s just like Max and Isobel. Feeling his soulmate’s skinned knees and broken bones. He relishes it in an odd way. Proof that the connection is there, that it’s real. The rest of the time, they’re still there, a pleasant hum in the back of Michael’s mind, reminding him he’s not alone, but it’s nothing tangible.

Things are perfectly normal until he’s ten years old and he wakes up screaming in pain, the sharp sting across his back, one after another, so fast and hard he can’t catch his breath. There won’t be a mark there, he knows. That’s what his soulmate will suffer. That’s what his soulmate is suffering.

When the war between Earth and Antar is over, Earth sends Captain Alex Manes to Antar to marry a member of the Antaran royal family and help solidify the peace.

comment: molly periodically makes me tear up with her fics so when she started posting a soulmate au... you can imagine how emotional i was. she’s combined the soulmate trope with a space royalty au, which is always delicious. i adore the way that alex and michael’s relationship develops, almost as much as i love the reason it starts. it’s a smart fic, a lovely fic, and another in a long list of molly’s wonderful creations.
