Summary
The soul link is inexplicable and unquantifiable. When someone writes on themselves, it is sent through the ether and appears on the skin of their soulmate.
Children are able to grow up connecting with their soulmates and growing to love them even before they get a chance to meet in person. It is a sacred right granted by the universe for everyone to be matched with their perfect person.
Unfortunately for Wylan Van Eck, although the universe did put someone on the other end of his link to write him beautiful messages every day, it forgot to teach him how to read them.

Summary
Julie Molina is turning sixteen. She knows that means that she will most likely wake up with her soulmate in her bed, and the first skin-to-skin contact will solidify the red string of Fate and an emotional connection. And she used to want that more than anything. But after losing her mom, Julie isn't so sure she wants a soulmate anymore.
Luke Patterson is seventeen, six months away from his eighteenth birthday. He never got a soulmate. All he wants is someone to love and accept him for who he is, to feel that same connection with someone that he feels when he plays music. He's starting to think maybe he just doesn't have a soulmate, that he'll never get that connection that he so craves.
Then Luke wakes up in Julie's bed on her sixteenth birthday, and they're thrown into a relationship that they don't understand and is completely different from what they already know. But maybe Fate didn't get it so wrong after all.

Summary
Instead of going to music school in Belendt, Wylan is sent to Novyi Zem. There’s fluff, there’s angst, there’s Jesper using humour as a coping mechanism. What else could you want in a fic?
The ice court never happens in this AU and Jesper still lives in Novyi Zem with Colm and Ketterdam sort of happened 😘 (he’s still not having a very good time tho)
(ngl this is kindaaaa a modern au bc i forgot certain things didn't exist in the grishaverse and im too lazy to go back into my old chapters and fix that so sorry lmao)
Yes the title is a lyric from Thank You For the Music but shut up it’s Wylan’s song

Summary
Kaz is prepared to bribe the owners of the other gambling halls not to admit him—he’s prepared to send some of the younger Dregs to beat Jesper to a mild pulp every time he tries to enter the Barrel, if necessary—but he hopes it won’t come to that. If you could beat an addiction out of someone, Jesper would have been cured years ago.
“What, then? Spit it out.”
The other man pauses at the window, staring out at the rain, and swallows before finally saying, “Wylan asked me to marry him.”

It had all started when Jesper – beautiful, bright-eyed, larger than life, popular Jesper – moved into the room in the Slat opposite Wylan’s. They had been the only two on that floor at the time. Jesper had bought celebratory cupcakes and Wylan was so touched (and so incredibly smitten) that he had eaten them.

jordie lives by ahhhhhh_ahhhhhhh

Summary
"Kaz hated the way his brother stared at him, like he was small and fragile. Kaz Rietveld may have looked at Jordie with hope, beside himself with joy at their reunion. But Brekker was not that boy anymore. He wasn’t small, or weak, or delicate, and he certainly wasn’t about to celebrate his brother’s miraculous reincarnation. He couldn’t, not when all could picture was Jordie’s bloated, peeling skin beneath his fingers; his body floating, immobile in the harbor."
The crows learn that Jordie might not be as dead as they thought - the brother's reunion goes about as well as you would expect: bad.

Summary
An avid theatre kid, Jesper plays the lead in Ketterdam High's production of We Will Rock You, a jukebox musical featuring Queen's best songs. He's ecstatic, not only because he's never had such a huge role before, but because We Will Rock You is one of his favorite musicals. It's a dream come true, and he couldn't be happier—except that the rest of the cast isn't as enthusiastic as he is, and when he takes center stage, bullying from his classmates couldn't be worse for an openly bisexual Black boy.
Devastated that he was forced to quit band, high school sophomore Wylan signs up for tech with encouragement from his best friend Kuwei—and it's certainly not also because joining tech means working on the same show as Jesper Fahey, the junior he's looked up to since he was a freshman. Still, there's a lot of things he has to keep secret, and he wonders what this will mean for him as he grows closer to this strange club of drama kids.Bookmarked by normalneus

Marya emerged from the drawing room. “Was that so bad?”
Wylan scowled. “No.”
“Then why the bitter face?”
“Jesper Fahey will be attending the Season.”
Marya let out a tired groan. “Why on earth do you despise him so, Wylan? What did the boy ever do to you?”
“He opened his mouth,” Wylan murmured.
“Now, don’t be so unkind, it’s ungracious.”
“Maybe if he weren’t such a brash, cocky little-”

Summary
Kaz had set aside his cane, hat and coat and he looked oddly delicate now, sitting beside her in his shirtsleeves and vest. His body was angled toward her as much as possible on the small sofa, holding her hand and keeping his bitter-coffee eyes trained on her face. His gloves were still on, but somehow she knew that it was due to the relative strangeness of her parents rather than to hide his hands from her. He held her hand so tightly that she could feel the little slits in the fingertips, little absences of contact from the leather covering the rest of her hand.

Takes place immediately following the events of Crooked Kingdom. We meet Inej's parents and get some closure for everyone involved.

Summary
Gina needs a date to her longtime friend/hopeless crush Ricky's wedding back in their hometown. So her roommate Ashlyn suggests her cousin EJ, who's newly moved to New York and could be willing to travel to Salt Lake for the Labor Day weekend fiasco... she means festivities...
EJ's just moved to New York and just wants to pass the bar, not freak out about his new job, and maybe eventually convince his dad he's got what it takes to live up to the Caswell name. With all that on his plate, he's never really been able to make a relationship work, and that's why he finds himself without a date to his teammate's wedding.
A convenient swapping of favors leads to an unexpected friendship, and maybe something more.
A Portwell AU!

Summary
“And then they kissed.”
“No they didn’t!” The girl protested. “Ladybug wouldn’t want that.”
Except, Ladybug would. If given the chance, she’d sit there and let Chat kiss her a thousand times. She’d kiss him back even harder. She’d wrap her arms around him and never let go.
Or: after Monarch's defeat, Chat pulls away, and Ladybug can't understand it. Why is he avoiding her? Why does it feel like he's miles away, even when he's by her side? He won't tell her what's wrong. He won't let her help. And Ladybug's starting to wonder if she'll ever get to tell him how she really feels.
