show your love, make a meme by marsali
completely original and so funny but also touching and tender with a perfect coming out scene.
Matteo: Just saw your Instagram post. If you still need time away from me, I understand. But if you need someone to talk to, you can always come to me. I just want you to know that.
let’s be one another’s present tense by raspberrygal
i’m just going to repeat the comment i left on this fic; it made me feel gooey as fuck. in which david calls matteo a bunch of pet names. adorable.
Matteo huffs a shy breath, his face immediately going a dark red. He looks up at David from under his eyelashes. David wants to kiss him.
mad as the sea and wind by aholynight
this fic was like a balm when the season was airing and truly delved into matteo’s mental health in a very affecting way. still amazing how much this author got right about matteo and david’s characterisation.
David presses a quick kiss to Matteo’s lips. The corner of Matteo’s mouth lifts.
“Okay,” David says, a little more shyly than before. Matteo is ducking his head, the tiniest smile still playing on his face, his cheeks a little pinker than before, and not just from the morning chill. David’s never kissed a boy in public before, and he’s certain that Matteo never has either.
where we are in the grand scheme of things by strangetowns
a really beautiful oneshot where matteo thinks about his gender. very personal and sweet.
His heart trembles, a little, at this newly uncovered knowledge that actually, he knows less about himself than he thought. David at least knows some things. Matteo, though - maybe Matteo knows nothing at all.
After all this time there’s still so fucking much he doesn’t know.
breaking my heart in all the right ways by noorakardemmomesaetre
very cute coffee shop au; they’re on the vergeeeee of confessing their feelings, i can feel it! also, the hands of it all!!!!
He wants David to say something, anything, but he’s also spellbound by the weight of the moment. David remains silent, his eyes searching Matteo’s the same way they had when they were on the dance floor, and Matteo feels David’s pinky brush gently against his own.
a true slow burn with detailed descriptions of matteo’s mental health. involves matteo slowly letting himself fall for david, and matteo and david seeing more in each other than they see in themselves. looove.
“I know that you don’t drain me. And everything drains me.”
It is so much more than Matteo expected to say, and David seems surprised by it too.
a His Dark Materials au with spot on characterisation and gorgeously written daemons! the fic weaves elements of canon with new material in a way that feels totally fresh. also the chapters are really long and i can’t wait for it all to be resolved in the final chapter.
“You jerk,” she said, softly but teasingly.
“You brave jerk,” she said.
the run and go by giraffingallday
featuring a unique meet cute and just The softest, gayest vibes. honestly i miss this fic and i want the author to come back and tell us about matteo getting better and taking cooking classes.
David picks up on the third ring; it’s later than Matteo realized, “Hey. How’d it go.” He smiles, falls onto the couch and buries his face against the cushion.
“Good. Really good.” He lifts his head back up, stares at the blank wall dreamily, “They can’t wait to meet you, if you still want to.”
