This week’s theme is fake dating AU’s. Today’s post is a one shot. If you like this fic, please consider leaving it a comment/kudos!
Adrian and Markus - ufologies / @bechnaes (4k words)
He had tried to stay positive when he woke up, hoping that maybe since it wasn’t a super intense case, he’d be paired with Mikael instead. Hell, at this point he wouldn’t even mind being told to do the case alone. But when the entire department knows that the cases Isak and Even work on together are the ones that get solved the fastest, the safest and the smoothest, well, Even can’t really say he didn’t see it coming. That didn’t make it any less… inconvenient, for a lack of a better word. So — they were paired together. No big deal. Just like any other day. Only ten times more awkward. Or: Isak and Even go undercover on a case that unexpectedly ends up bringing them closer together.
Our Ramblings:
Amazing premise replete with fake dating and mutual pining in an original verse executed amazingly well
Fic is short but includes just enough backstory for the development of their relationship to feel natural; very effective use of space
Fantastic banter, especially from side characters like Jonas and Mikael
Sarah’s favorite lines:
“C’mon, it’s just a kiss, people kiss all the time,” Jonas argues through his laughter, although he doesn’t sound entirely convinced himself.
“Oh my god, I can’t believe we’re even having this conversation.” Isak puts his face into his hands and Even, out of sympathy and nothing else, reaches over and pats his shoulder.
“People do kiss all the time, but this is Isak and Even,” Mikael stresses. “Not just anybody.”
“Actually, it was Adrian and Markus,” Even says, a matter-of-fact. “They’ve been dating for four years and are happily engaged.”
“This is some role-play shit, I swear to god—“
Kathi’s favorite lines:
It was like getting a taste of what they could be, of what Even could have, and then having it ripped away from him just as fast as it was given. He almost wishes he’d walked into the stupid restaurant with Mikael instead. Almost.

Anonymous said: Will you PLEASE post a gif set with the parallels of isak trying to drive in that clip, and Tarjei talking about how scared he is to drive in that interview he did?
*slams fist on table* WE DESERVE A 15 MINUTE CLIP OF EVEN TALKING ABOUT HIS PAST AND THEN BEING CUDDLED BY ISAK
