The everyday life of a hectic young nephil and his parents.
All fics in this series take place in the same universe but can be read on their own unless stated otherwise. I will try to rearrange them in order of when it takes place but some stretch out in longer periods of time.
I made my own fics masterpost because FF.net is a cunt
Well, fanfiction net doesn't let me enter my account to save fics i like so i decided i would make a masterpost here to save the ones i really really liked so i can find them easily at any given point and also so you guys can maybe have a good read with any of these. I will put the name of the fic with a link and a short summary of the plot (don't expect anything very professional, i do it my way), the rating and the pairing. i'll keep updating it as i read more. Keep in mind that these are fics i read based on my preferences so mainly lawlight and explicit content probably bc i like the good smut.
They Chalked It Up To Puberty
Lawlight, M,quite explicit sex scenes, basically just Light and L discovering they are horny for each other
Come over and kill some time
Lawlight, T, L is wandering around a train bored and meets Light for the first time, very cute, just fluff
Silence
Lawlight, K+, narrated in L's point of view, a short read about his perception of Light and his feelings for him. Angsty.
*** = my absolute favourite.
These works are all completed and multi chaptered.
I’ll keep updating this! [Thread on twitter]
The Comments Below
Isak is a notoriously lazy gamer living with lgbt icon Eskild. When they invite youtube sensation Even Bech Naesheim over for a collaboration, #Evak is born. But it is not only their viewers who are falling in love.
Life is Now
Two years have passed since the events of s3. Even returns to Norway. Isak has a new boyfriend.
That's Not My Name
“Isak.” Even smiled, then licked his lips. “Wanna go back to my place?”
aka: Isak is an exchange student in new york city where he meets a very forward and bewitching Even. Or: The one-night stand AU some of you asked for.
►UPDATED
would it be a sin if i can't help falling in love with you?
“I mean, I already have a thing with – “ Isak waves his hand in the air. Conjuring up a girl should be way easier than this. Magnus had a girlfriend at Bakka for three months, and Isak doubts that she ever existed. All Isak has to do is make up a name, but his mouth dries up. He clears his throat. “A thing with – ““Even,” the guy says, extending his hand for Emma to shake. (Or, the fake relationship AU.)
Scene Three, Take Two
Isak is 23, a student in the veterinary program at NMBU, and working an internship at a clinic in Kongsvinger. He hasn't seen Even in three years, but randomly bumps into him on the street when he's visiting his mom in Oslo.
Lost Boys (Not Ready To Be Found)
Even is a disillusioned media studies student who wishes he hadn't screwed up his film school applications. Isak is a prickly bioscience student who figured leaving his mother's house for UiO would magically fix all of his problems.A college AU, wherein Isak and Even meet later than they were destined to, but still save each other right back.
i guess that's destiny doing it right
“Isak!” he huffs, raising his head once more and catching a glimpse of a waving hand at the corner of his vision. His eyes land on the platform on the other side of the tracks and, after a moment of squinting, his gaze focuses on a blond head significantly taller than everyone around him.“Isak!” Isak’s eyes widen as the person finally seems to realise they’ve caught his attention, grinning widely and waving.And that’s- Even.
Or the alternate universe where Even originally went to Nissen and became friends with Isak and Jonas when they started first year but moved away after his episode at the end of first year only for Isak to never hear from him again. Fastforward to the summer before Isak starts college when he’s travelling around Spain and bumps into a certain someone in Barcelona.
Life is now. (and now, and now)
What do you mean season 3 of Skam ended?? Nei ???In which the clips for season 3 update, because there is so much more of Isak and Even's relationship we haven't seen, so. Here it is, congratulations.
I'm Not A Baby
"This is Even, my bro. The part about him being my personal servant is kind of true though.”
“Bro? Your bro?! What the fuck, Isak? We need to get rid of this whole hypermasculinity thing they teach you at Nissen.”aka, Isak and Even are childhood friends. Or, the ChildhoodFriends!AU some of you asked for.
Fade to Black
Even’s mouth twists like the start of a smile and in that moment, everything burns just a little brighter. But there’s also an odd glint in his eyes, caustic and leering, that chills Isak to the bone.
Or in which, Isak outs Even in a fit of jealousy, which sends him spiraling out of control.
in the place of you and me
“Can I tell you a secret?” Even murmurs, tracing mindless patterns- zig zags and hearts and stars and infinity signs- up and down Isak’s bare back. He circles freckles and counts them, adding them to his never ending tally of things to know about Isak.Isak snuffles sleepily, “Mmhmm.”“You have made me happier in less than a year, than I think I have been in my entire life.”Eyes flicker open, hazy green; beautiful and open, “Ditto.”
*** Half Blade and Half Silk
Isak's friends introduce him to an art student at a college party. He won't stop calling Isak baby and Isak's bad at pretending to hate it.College AU where Isak's past is a little more colorful but Even still won't leave him alone.
Tired of using Technology
Isak & Even texting... about sex, love, relationships, school, family, daily stuff, and whatever else you text about.
*** with love, from anonymous
Isak just wants to get his coffee in peace, Even has a crush, and there's a secret admirer on the loose.
Membership Dues
Isak is pledging Even's fraternity. Even keeps having to be reminded that he's not allowed to date the pledges."It's a ten-week pledge period. How hard could it be?" Famous last words.
*** snow and dirty rain
Even leans back in his chair. “You know, not everyone joins a book club because they’re blackmailed into it.”Isak rolls his eyes. “Still.”“I like books.” [Or: In which Vilde starts a book club because someone else already started kosegruppa, Even is a book nerd, who recites poetry, and Isak struggles to see the point of reading boring books when he could just watch the film versions; except, that he meets Even, so maybe book club isn't that much of a waste of time as he's previously thought.]
*** You say good morning when it's midnight
It sucks, when your best friend is on a student exchange at the other end of the world for three months. It sucks even more, when you fall in love with the step-brother of his exchange student.
*** Never Have I Ever
"What's it like to kiss a boy?" "I could show you." Or the one where Isak and Even are roommates who make out on occasion (in a completely platonic way, of course).
*** Things Look Different in the Morning
“So,” he says, drawing the word out. “I told Even he could stay here.”Isak blinks, convinced he’s misheard.“Eskild,” he says flatly. “We don’t have a spare room.”Eskild straightens his back, expression turning sheepish. “That’s the other part…I was thinking he could stay in your room?” In which Even needs a place to stay, kollektivet gains a new roommate, and Isak just really wants to sleep
I wanna hold you like you're mine
"I'm sorry? Who are you? And how would you know if Isak was really gay?" "I’m Even, and how about because I'm his fucking boyfriend?" Huh. This was news to Isak._Isak is often nervous and just trying to get through his required semester of Theatre. Emma makes it a little harder until Even comes along and makes it too easy. He might fall in love somewhere along the way.
*** Doctor Patient Confidentiality
“Male, maybe late 20s, didn’t carry an ID. Was hit by a car. Broken ribs, lots of internal bleeding, his left hand needs some work, a lot of crushed bones. Punctured lung. His heart frequency shows irregularities, but we’re not sure why. Unconscious. The driver called, he’s in surgery, too.”“Okay, thanks”, Isak said, got his rubber gloves and went into the OR.He was good at fixing people. And he knew it.
The World Is Yours
Even and Isak meet again in Heathrow Airport after a year apart. (airport reunion au)
Behind These Four Walls
"AU in which Isak's mother is in a mental institution and one day when he goes visit her he sees a beautiful boy painting outside and as he waits for his mother to come join him he approaches the boy to see what is he painting and he sees, it's a painting of him. He sits right next to the boy who presents himself as Even and theycstart talking. Even explains he'd seen him coming to visit every weekend and thought he was the most beautiful boy ever."
Fortunately, Love Does Too
An invitation. One last apology. A graduation. A best bud. A birthday. An awkward situation. A speech.
Teach Me to Forget
Even is the TA for Isak's Intro to Media Studies class. If only he'd known that before they slept together.
*** stay a minute
"The leads of Even Bech Næsheim’s new 'Romeo and Juliet' adaption were announced yesterday, with Eva Kviig Mohn taking to Twitter to confirm, ‘Looking forward to playing Julieeeeet’. Her fellow Romeo was announced shortly after to be Isak Valtersen, which his publicist confirmed today. It seems that this will be Norway’s new star-crossed pair of lovers."In which there is a tumblr fandom that is dying every time new information for said version of 'Romeo and Juliet' drops, Even is a beloved director and Isak - well, Isak would just really appreciate it if his mind would stop surprising him with memories at the worst moments possible.
*** Let Me In
“What are you doing here?” Isak asked, unable to keep the anger out of his voice. Even’s eyes were wide and a little unfocused, flitting over Isak nervously. He was quiet for a long time, rain hitting the pavement outside, and Isak became kind of aware that Even must be freezing in his thin, damp t-shirt. Even pressed his lips together, then said, voice hoarse and quiet, “Can I stay here tonight?”
*** The Notion of Falling
Isak hates Even and Even hates Isak and Sana is the only one who knows why
I'll Be Coming Home, Wait For Me
The diner AU. Even and Yousef open a 1950s American-style restaurant together - Even is the creative genius in the kitchen, Yousef keeps the trains running on time, and Isak, Chris B, and Magnus are all along for the ride. Falling in love over food while Elvis serenades from the jukebox. Welcome to the Throwback Diner.
Guru Knows Best
Isak grumps, and Eskild schemes. But it's all in the name of love. For their gorgeous new neighbour (and a little for each other too).Even moves into the apartment across the hall, and Isak's just trying to make it another day without dying of embarrassment.
I Feel It When You Look At Me
"Did you hear about the new guy?" Jonas asked, motioning over to the other side of the cafeteria. Isak looked up and became rather breathless at the sight of the tall, blonde, and totally gorgeous boy wearing sunglasses. Wait. Sunglasses? Inside? "Must suck to be the new transfer and blind. I hope someone is helping him find all his classes." Or, Isak and Even learn to see each other.
we can hurt together
Isak is an actor and Even is a director. They both worked together in a film which also launched them. They are friends but Even wants to be more than friends. Isak does too but is afraid and insecure.
*** Head Over Heels
"Isak wished for the hundredth time that his stupid friends could just be normal so that he could go home and bundle himself in his duvet and re-watch Breaking Bad again, instead of spending all of his spare time outside in a pathetic excuse for a skate park."
*** You Don't Even Know Me!
"Let's keep our daddy issues out of work," said Even.
"Excuse me?!" Or: The one in which Isak and Even are interns who got off the wrong foot and don't like each other at all (except that they do).
Aka the HateToLove!AU many of you asked for.
Lost In Reality
When Isak first starts at Nissen, there's a third year boy, Even, who likes to make fun of him, pretending to flirt and taking great pleasure in making Isak uncomfortable. Isak knows all the rumours about Even's Russ group, the "Penetrators", and he knows that he shouldn't get involved. He still, somehow, gets involved. But Even disappears halfway through the year, and Isak doesn't think he'll ever see him again. He does.
a mental archive of love unwanted
“You’re in love with him,” Isak says. “And he doesn’t know.”He thinks about denying it, to shrug it off like he has so many times before, but in the end, he’s too tired to lie and the fact is, he doesn’t want to.“I’m in love with him,” Even says, slumping back into the sofa. “And he doesn’t know.”Even moves into a new flat, gains new friends and tries not to have his heart broken. He nails the first two.
*** in better light, everything changes
"I just checked the revue website and blackmailing people for smoking weed wasn’t listed under the Kosegruppa description" Isak accidentally texts a stranger (Even) while trying to text Sana.
if i knew it were true
They've both been broken. Even hates his brain and Isak hates his life, and the past is always lurking. Friends With Benefits AU where Isak loves Even and Even loves Isak, but they're afraid to make it work.
A Transference of Feeling
Isak hated that he was being forced to do this. He hated leaving Nissen because of his stupid parents’ stupid fights and stupid rules. Isak didn’t understand why he had to move just because they couldn’t get their shit together anymore; this felt like more punishment on top of having been left alone with his mother and all her weird moods and difficult behaviours. Aka, the au where Isak transferred schools rather than Even.
possibly (maybe) i’m falling for you
Even tries to get Isak to smile with coffee. Every time he buys Isak coffee, he becomes more determined to find the perfect drink (and falls in love along the way)
Ground Me
In which despite his father helping with rent, Isak still needs money and therefore a job. Isak gets a job at a cafe and meets a barista who's beauty blows Isak away. A coffee shop AU where pretty boys fall in love.
*** making new clichés
“You’d feel better knowing,” Even says. “What we are.” “Yeah,” Isak says. “Something like that.”“Then I’d say,” Even says, “we can be whatever you want us to be.” In this universe, Isak and Even are best friends. Some things are different; some things stay exactly the same.
Lovesick
Even is absolutely not making up excuses to take his daughter to see the hot new pediatrician. (Except he totally is.) Or 5 times Even's daughter wasn't actually sick and 1 time she was.
*** right click > save as
Isak, a fic writer in the Minute by Minute fandom, had the world's biggest crush on the fandom's biggest name.The fandomception AU, in which two boys fall in love over Discourse, gifsets, and increasingly dirty hashtags.
snapshots of a scattered heart
Isak knows he's being thought of as nothing other than roommate, friend and listener. He's fine with it. He is.
*** Every Minute Gets Easier
His life had turned out beyond his wildest dreams. It was amazing, and when it got bad from time to time, that was still fine, it was still worth it, because the bad times were just a glimpse in their epic story and the good times were just so good, so pure, so abundant, that he knew they would make it through every struggle. Together.Which is why Isak never imagined his current situation: Filing an application for separation.
Caught in the Crossfire
AU where Isak and Sana are partners working for the Oslo police department. Even used to work for the Oslo PD and is now Oslo's most well known private detective assisting the department in cases while also blogging about them. Isak is not impressed when he shows up on one of his crime scenes, because what other reason is there to publicly blog about your cases than being fame hungry.
*** Boy with a Basket of Fruit
Isak is a third-year architecture student studying abroad in Rome, Italy when he meets Even—a triple major and a triple threat. He’s handsome. He’s smart. And he’s charming as hell with the right amount of weird mixed in. Isak’s intrigued, but he doesn’t want to like him—he actually came to Rome to quite literally run away from his relationship problems back home. But the heart wants what the heart wants, even if Isak attempts to ignore it.He tries to listen to the universe. It’s throwing all the signs to just stay away right in his face, but for some reason, it’s also throwing him right into Even’s arms at every turn. So he tortures himself. He doesn’t make a move. They can be just friends, after all.Until they can’t.
You are mine
Isak is attending Nissen and has been targeted by bully Elias. Enter possesive Even. Also, there are self defense classes (hot AND educational. If that's not a twofer I don't know what is)
Guess for once i can't pretend
Jonas shook his head, “Nah, man. I think Isak’s type is more tall and slender than strong and muscular.” Or, Even started to go to the gym and Isak was totally cool with it. Definitely.
Rentboy
Isak met Even through rentboy.com. He quickly learned that Even wasn't really a rentboy. Little did he know that his perfect boyfriend is also the future owner of Nasheim Corp, which is about to buy the Valtersens, his family business.A story about love and hate, misunderstandings and communications.
I am Yours and You are Mine
Isak's starting his second year at Nissen, his friends, Jonas, Mahdi and Even, are back from their summer holidays, everything is completely normal. Except. Even's got himself a new girlfriend. Isak doesn't know how to deal with these newborn feelings he seems to be having for Even.

The Very Personal Shopper
Isak is too lazy to shop his groceries, and too fed up with Eskild’s complaints, and finds that a shopping service would be perfect. But what could he do when his personal shopper turned out to be the most gorgeous guy he had ever seen?
take me as i am
He isn’t crushing, and nevertheless this guy has become a Problem, because whenever he’s on shift he’s made it increasingly difficult for Isak to really spend his time productively. Sure, he could just find another place to study but he likes the access to coffee here even though he actually kind of hates the bitterness of it and he’s just not going to let himself get swept aside because of this guy.In summary: Isak has been suffering. Terribly.
*** Drunk on Your Colours
When Isak starts at Hartwig Nissen, he is confused by all the eyes with bright colours he can see. He has a strange gift that makes him see colours in certain people’s eyes, and the colours reflect who they are and how they feel. Now there are kids with colours in their eyes everywhere, and one tall, gorgeous guy has the colours of the whole rainbow. Isak and Even becomes friends. Friends to lovers AU where Even and Mikael are in third year at Hartvig Nissen when Isak starts in first year. This story includes supernatural elements and a drinking game or two.

*** Wish You Were Mine
“You’re after my heart, aren’t you?” said Even, leaning against the bar counter. “I thought we had already established that,” Isak smiled. Or Even is Isak's favorite bartender and there's some mutual pining involved.
*** Built from the Ashes
“You do realize you’re acting like a child, right?" Jonas asked. "You’re a grown man in a fight with another grown man because you never learned how to share your toys on the playground.” Or the one where Even and Jonas are roommates who get along a little too well and Isak is not the least bit jealous about it at all (Except he totally is).
Don't Hold Your Breath
Isak hates how he feels about Even, knows it could possibly ruin his friendship forever if he was to ever find out. But he doesn't ever wonder, what if Even feels the same? A Friends to Lovers Fic
We're Not Broken Just Bent
They had made a decision that didn’t fall easy on either of them. A decision that still kept Isak awake at night in his bed that was too big and in his kitchen that was too empty in the mornings. On the couch in front of his tv-cabinet which was void of Even’s film collection, and in his hallway which no longer had a dozen pairs of shoes in it.
*** I Have Hella Feelings For You
Before he could say anything — a protest or cheeky comment, he wasn't even sure yet — the boy grinned widely at him and darted forward to peck Isak’s cheek. “We’re dating now,” he declared matter-of-factly. He attempted to wink at Isak, but his face just crinkled up adorably as he tried, and failed, to close just one eye.Isak simply blinked back at him, too caught off guard and flustered to think of anything to say back. A peal of surprised laughter did surface, and it only made the boy’s smile grow larger.“Love you, baby.” The boy proclaimed, flicking his eyebrows up once before he was suddenly gone, waltzing away from a very confused, slightly startled Isak.He stood, overwhelmed and frozen in place, as he tried to wrap his mind around what just happened.
*** The Right Destination
“And let me guess, you’re not great at first meetings?” “I’m sorry. My mind was somewhere else.” “Well, sorry for bringing it back here." The guy says and extends his hand. “I’m Even."
*** I Would Do It Again
"I dare you to hook up with him."
"What? The blonde guy?"
"Yes, the blonde guy."
Or Even gets caught up in a dare, and Isak loses a little bit of himself in the process. Aka the Dare!AU (with feelings) that nobody asked for.
*** all i wanna do is be near
They’d been friends, back at Nissen. Just friends, both wanting more but neither admitting it until it was too late.Two years on, Even keeps coming back to Oslo, back to Isak, though he can’t ever stay more than a few days. A relationship isn’t worth the distance between them most of the time, but at least they can pretend while he’s here. Or 5 times they just pretend and one time Isak brings Even home.
will you share your soul with me?
There’s a school camping trip at the beginning of Isak’s second year. He’s not sure why he agrees to go, especially when he remembers how difficult it is for him to sleep anywhere that isn’t his own bed.It turns out he’s not the only insomniac on the trip.
something in the language of trees
Meet Isak Valtersen: Premed student by day, insomniac shit poet by night. Future doctor? Who the fuck knows.He’s passing through the main square when he sees it, pinned up to the message board. Bright pink and flapping in the wind. At first he thinks he’s misread so he stops and back tracks, pressing the paper flat against the board. Nope, it still says the same thing:looking for a friend for my 23 year old son. Pays 500kr/wk. serious inquiries only please. “What the fuck?” He squints at it, suspiciously. Could it be some weird project the psych kids are doing?He waffles for a moment but ultimately decides to take a picture of the flyer with his phone. Desperate times call for desperate measures, as they say. Plus, Eskild is gonna start selling his stuff online while Isak is away in class if he doesn’t start paying his portion of the rent on time. He tells himself he doesn’t actually have to call the number as he shuffles his way to class. AU where Isak's job really was to be Even's friend.
The Secret Santa App
Secret Santa AU, Isak’s and Even’s altering POV. In this world, Isak and Even met at Nissen, but they were never brave enough to do anything. Isak (25) is a stressed-out salesman for playground equipment. Even (27) is a freshly educated, burned out and lonely children’s psychologist. They meet again when Sana, Eva and Vilde arrange a Secret Santa party.Without knowing it, Isak and Even end up as Secret Santas for each other and they chat with each other on the Secret Santa App. Things happen. This story shows snapshots from the four Sundays before Christmas and Christmas Eve.
*** It's beginning to look at lot like Christmas
So, here’s the thing:Isak moves out of his parent’s house when he’s sixteen and it’s fine, really, most of the time it’s fine. It’s just Decembers. Goddamn Decembers. They’re not exactly his favourite time of the year. This time, though: this time he think there’s someone who has it worse than he does. On the first of December that year, Even moves in.
*** God Only Knows (What I'd Do Without You)
Isak thinks of his life in a distinct BEFORE and AFTER. Before Even he was fake, he was a liar, he was mean, he was closed off. After he and Even broke up, he's fake, he's a liar, he's mean, he's closed off. Isak is about to turn 22 and he's not allowed to be like that anymore. But he is. He really, really is.OR the break up that would never really happen, but imagine if it did. If Even moved to Trondheim for Uni and returned a little over two years later. Imagine what Isak would do, who he would be, and what could've happened but definitely never would've. AKA the fic that shouldn't have been allowed to happen.
Come if you remember the way
The first time Isak meets Even he’s fourteen, and a moving van is pulling up on the street outside of his house. Four years later he’s standing in an airport with their friends and Even’s parents. Even is going abroad for six months. Or: Isak and Even are childhood friends who always seem to gravitate towards each other. Then everything else happens.
*** Blanket Fort Gospel
Isak Valtersen met the love of his life when he was eleven years old. It was a truth he had long tried to deny, but it was the truth nevertheless.
One Call Away
5 times Even calls Isak with an excuse and the one time he doesn't need one.
Get Rid of Her
"Even was angry and Emma was tugging at Isak’s sleeve demanding attention. Even had never been angry at him before, not even when he spoke recklessly of his mother’s mental health, or when he threw up on the older boy’s bed that one night he got too drunk and couldn’t make it home."Or: Even still transfers to Nissen in his third year, but Isak and Even get introduced through their parents. FriendsToLovers AU in which Isak calls Even 'bro' a couple of times and is forced to watch old-ish movies with him in hipster movie theaters.
Five Dollars
You know that one book that changes your life? It just landed in Isak Valtersen's inbox.
(I’ll give it to) Someone Special
Isak Valtersen is certain of a few things:
1. He doesn’t really like Christmas.
2. He loves Even – as a friend.
3. He doesn’t want things to change between them.So that’s why he offers to play Even’s boyfriend on a visit to Even’s homophobic family. And then he realizes a few other things.
4. He’s surprised by how perfect a fake boyfriend Even is.
5. Okay. Maybe, Isak is starting to love Even as more than a friend.
Or the one where Isak is oblivious to Even’s true feelings about him, but fortunately it only takes the Christmas holidays to change that.
safe
Isak had never even met Even before, but there he was, pretending to be Isak's boyfriend to get him out of an uncomfortable situation. Is this the birth of something... new? Fresh? Magical? (Neighbors AU)
In this bed of snowflakes we lie
Follow Isak and Even in this University Dorm life AU, full of snowflakes, fluffy pillows, and people who are nothing like they seem on the outside. Because people keep secrets. Pretend to be people they are not. And secrets will wear you down if you don't let them out to air once in a while.
MANDAG 10:42
It’s Monday, 24.10.16, 10:42 and some things are the same while others are a little different.
*** blue like the night in cuba
Isak and Even meet on a train and spend a night exploring Paris, losing themselves and finding each other. Or a Before Sunrise AU.
*** Cut and Rewind
“Now. Why don’t you tell me a little bit about yourself?”Even swallows around the bitter tang in his throat and settles for the shortest version of his medical history that he can possibly pin down. “I’m bipolar. I was diagnosed with depression first when I was seventeen since the symptoms were more noticeable. But in February of last year I got my proper diagnosis after I had a major manic episode. One of the biggest triggers was my struggle with my sexuality. I slipped into a severe depressive episode afterwards and missed so much school that I ended up dropping out.” He recites it like lines from a script, like if he’s detached enough the words won’t really be about him. It doesn’t make them any easier to push out though. Season 4 from Even's point of view.
Legitimate Expectations
Maybe there’s a world where grown men can wear bandanas and skinny jeans and like Gabrielle and be fine, but it’s not Isak’s. In Isak’s world men wear suits and tame their hair and listen to hip hop, or rock, or classical music – he’s pretty sure those are the only options – and it’s comfortable, and Isak knows how it works.It's a good time to be Isak Valtersen. The up-and-coming Norwegian authority on matters of freedom of press, several Supreme Court wins already on his resume - and still barely thirty. He's carved out a place in the world that he never thought he'd reach, but sometimes that place just feels a little too small and rigid. Enter Even.
*** tender (is the night)
His whole body aches, like he’s regrown his limbs overnight, stretched out muscles he never knew he had.Isak knows, in that moment, that his life has just been turned upside down. “You bonded,” Even’s girlfriend confirms, and the pity in her eyes doesn’t go unnoticed. “Try not to move.”--The one where Isak and Even accidentally soulbond.
An Equal and Opposite Reaction
Meeting each other's parents doesn't go well. It doesn't go badly, either. It just sort of... goes.
*** Therefore I Am
The one thing Isak wants is to move on from his high school mistakes. Even spends his time pining after a boy who will never like him back. The last thing either of them expect is to wind up in bed together, but that's exactly what happens.
*** Play That Song
Every day, Even catches a boy in a snapback who sneaks in to play the piano at the summer camp Even works at. Even's never seen him before. But if the boy's good looks hadn't already captivated him, then his phenomenal piano-playing ability certainly has. Even doesn't know much about love at first sight, but he thinks that this is pretty close. (Or seven weeks of music, flirting, summer camp, and falling in love.)
My Very Personal Ski Trainer
This is before Christmas 2016. Even never transferred to Nissen, so he’s doing his last year at Bakka. He has just broken up with Sonja and is recovering from a manic and depressive episode. Sana has invited Even and her other friends to a Holiday cabin trip, and Even needs to get in shape so that he can beat his buddies in Sana’s planned ski race. He tries out a personal ski trainer app and meets the hot ski trainer Isak Valtersen. Even struggles to focus only on the training. On the cabin trip, when Even arrives early, a surprise guest turns up and a snowstorm threatens to snow them both in. Who knows what happens next?
You're my (arche)type
When you're born into a world that tells you what you will be from the first moment you open your eyes, how easy is it to defy those expectations and become the person you'd rather be? Even is a Beast and he's known for years that he needs a Beauty to keep him under control. But he's yearned for a long time to be a different, better person, to defy the stereotypes and overcome his upbringing. Unfortunately when he gets up the courage to go after something more, it's not as easy as he expects to go out and find it.
Rearranged
“You don’t really want to date me, Even. Believe me,” Isak says.“I don’t?” Isak just shakes his head. There’s nothing for him to offer a guy like Even. He should be treated like royalty, pampered every day. That’s never going to be Isak. He doesn’t have that kind of affection in him anymore. There’s nothing left.
Drowning in your love
Even is captain of the swim team. Isak and the boy squad join the team. In this universe a pool is a bigger part of their story.
Falling in love over facebook messages
Isak's cousin's best friend, Even Bech Naesheim sends Isak a message on facebook. Isak finds Even cool until...Texting AU
The boy next door
Isak looks at Jonas, hoping the blush has already disappeared from his cheeks, he nervously scratches his neck. Fuck, did Jonas notice that he was staring at his new neighbor? “Are you daydreaming? I asked if there's someone new moving in.” Jonas laughs a little and nods towards the neighbor house.
An Affair
”I’m serious, Isak.” he says in a low but firm tone “You don’t want to play this game with me.” Isak gasps at the authority in Even’s voice and immediately turns around to face him. Isak's gaze is piercing and the heat from his breath against Even's lips is making him flush. For a moment Even finds himself wondering if Isak might actually be able to see straight through him, finds himself trying to conceal his thoughts. Isak smiles smugly, wets his lips once more. ”Oh but I do, Even.” Or, 'An Affair'-inspired AU, featuring a sweet and innocent substitute teacher and a hot and confident third year student in all the scenes we already know and love. Kind of.
*** Dear Friend
Isak and Even work together in a failing video store, and they cannot stand each other.Isak and Even both signed up for the Love Letters dating service, and they’re both falling for their anonymous pen pal. Or a She Loves Me AU (kind of, sort of)
*** please hurry leave me, i can't breathe
For the first time in his goddamn life, Isak is focusing on himself. Trusting people, loving people, has never worked out well for him anyway. The last thing he needs is Even, who looks at him like he sees right through him, like Isak is worthy of something more.Or, a yearlong look at something wholly unexpected but feels a lot like meant to be.
*** But She Isn’t Me
Even and Sonja were absolutely perfect together.They were both tall, thin, and stunningly beautiful. When they smiled, they brightened the entire room. The two of them were as different a could be, but they balanced each other out; Even was the dreamer, and Sonja was the realist. They’d been together since they were sixteen and everyone expected them to get married and live happily ever after. They shared absolutely everything; friends, meals, clothes and even a toothbrush from time to time.Well, almost everything.They didn’t share Isak. OR the best friend's au based on wanna be by betty who.
*** something sweet (to mend your heart)
"I don't think I ever want to kiss a boy ever again."
In which Isak becomes jaded after he gets cheated on and copes using sarcasm and humor. He's determined to end the school year without drama and avoids his ex and all his awful friends at all costs. Well, all of them except maybe half-decent Even Bech Næsheim, who's somehow determined to earn his friendship and fix his heart. Or: Isak is hurt and hardened and Even makes him tender and soft.
Ridende rytter til hest /A ridning horse rider
Isak is working as a guide in the mountains of Norway. Bringing tourist out in the wild on the back of a brave horse. This summer one of the girls in the stable is doing her best to whoo Isak, poor girl. The tourist come from all over world to experience the mountains, to sleep in cabins and drink coffe made on a camp fire at six in the morning. We are going to follow Isak on one of his one week trips and everything he has to deal with during this. Add a preppy dressage riding girl from the city and her lanky and gourgeous boyfriend and watch this week turn into something completely different than Isak had expected.The one where the magical air of Norwegian mountains make people talk, and horses have a mind of their own.
Caught in the Middle
Even keeps seeing the cutest boy around campus and in his new favourite coffee shop. He'll slowly get to know Isak but he'll have to go on a journey of self-acceptance and love at the same time.
*** And after that and after that
It's working for them. In some sense of the word, at least, it’s working for them. They’re exes, sure, but they’re friends first and Isak can ignore the feelings and the jealousy too. It's working. Then Sonja and Even break up. Or: they’re friends, roommates and exes. Then Even becomes single again.
*** I'm Not in Love
Isak was not in love. Nope. Not even close. Or: Even never transferred to Nissen in his third year, so they meet in college instead.
Uni AU in which Isak doesn’t believe in love but Even Bech Næsheim won’t stop kissing him.
turn my blue heart to red
Doctor AU. “Did I scare you?” Even asks teasingly, waggling his eyebrows as he leans casually against the counter beside Isak. “Never,” Isak scoffs, sending a fierce scowl in Jonas’ direction when he catches him smirking at them both. Jonas is under the ridiculous impression he and Even have a crush on each other which is not true. “Did I hear you discussing lunch plans?” Even asks then, smile softening when he looks at Isak but still bright enough to make Isak’s stomach trip over itself. (Okay, maybe it’s a little true.)
WAKE UP!
Even has never seen Isak before. But why does it feel like he's the only person that matters? Or: Even can't remember who Isak is, but he still loves him. Aka Isak literally haunts Even's dreams.
Blonde Elvis
“I need him in my life,” Isak stated. “Who? That guy?” Jonas asked.
“Yes! Did you see his eyes?” A sigh escaped Isak’s mouth as he stared in the direction of Even, who now had walked over to some guy smoking. “And those cheekbones. And the hair.” “We’ve already commented on the fluffy hair.” Jonas chuckled. “He’s like a blond Elvis.”
four movements on a first wedding
Sonja catches sight of the crumpled marriage certificate that’s fallen out of his bag. The crooked smile on her face is enough for Isak’s eyes to burn.“I’m still hoping that’s fake,” Isak says, going for a laugh. It bounces back to him, the faux joy making him nauseous.She stares at it for a few seconds longer, zoning in on the signatures, running a thumb over Even’s. “I- God, that’s... Seeing his name on one of these.”Isak looks down, keeps looking down. Tries to block out the hurt he’s causing, the hurt he’s feeling. He hugs her tightly before letting her out the door. Her answering embrace feels like going through the motions. Isak's spent years keeping his distance to Even, worried that any kind of closeness could trigger feelings he won't be able to suppress. Waking up married to Even after a blurry night in Las Vegas throws a slight wrench in those plans.
A Fucking Bet
– Being fuckbuddies without developing feelings is impossible, Isak. Fucking always leads to trouble.Even was looking at Isak with laughter in his eyes. They were tidying in the storage room, and their conversation had taken an interesting turn. Even had just stood up after rummaging through some boxes and he had to stroke away the hair that fell into his face. He looked damn hot. Isak tried to hide how Even’s look and movements affected him. – Fuck, no, it's possible, he protested, even though he had very limited experiences on the subject. He was still pretty sure it was manageable to separate fucking from love. – Fucking is just simple chemistry, nothing more. Isak and Even are just friends. They make a bet and decide to fuck only five times and then go back to being friends again. Isak hopes that he might be able to fuck his crush out of his system, once and for all. Who knows what Even’s motives are.
Who are you?
The twin brothers Isak and Adrian resemble each other like eggs. For years Adrian had disappeared without a trace. But now he suddenly reappears and makes an unusual request to his brother:He wants Isak to assume Adrian's identity for a while. For his brother's sake, Isak gets involved. He doesn't suspect that Adrian obviously not only has a lot of secrets, but also enemies.And then there's his incredible hot husband: Even Bech Naesheim.
A Silky Nightmare
Getting over old love is hard. Finding new love—with someone you’re not allowed to—is even harder.
Now & Then
We know Isak and Even will always find each other. I wondered what would happen if they didn't find each other until university. How would they have dealt with their shit? This is about love, therapy, and relying on friends.
Is this a lasting treasure? Or just a moment’s pleasure?
Isak hooks up with a stranger at a party, but runs away before he learns their name or gets a number. He is not out yet, and is nervous about anyone finding out.
*** Home Is Wherever I'm With You
“Hi. I’m Even and I don’t usually walk around in nothing but a towel.”
“Uh, I'm Isak.” “Isak. Mind if I kidnap you for some fun sightseeing activities?” Or Isak and Even keep meeting in hostels around the world and parting with a kiss or two. Aka the Travel!AU some of you requested.
*** Next to you, is where I call home
“Why don’t you start track too? You’d be a good sprinter, I’m sure you’d do great,” suggested Isak.Isak wasn’t entirely sure why he asked - he mostly liked being alone and he barely knew Even - but there was just something about Even that had drawn Isak to him. (When Isak had admitted that a few years later, Even had insisted it was fate, that they were destined to be best friends. Isak just argued that he was a good judge of character.)
*** You're a different kind of new
"But that still didn’t explain why Even was currently standing in a crowded house with the boy of his dreams pressed up against his side and a girl stood in front of them, looking bewildered as Isak told the girl excitedly how he and Even had met." (Even has had a hopeless crush on Isak for months now, but has never been brave enough to talk to him. Luckily, Isak decides to make the first move by rescuing Even from unwanted attention at a party.)
*** Masquerade
Isak and Even were best friends before one botched mission tore them apart. When they are assigned to go undercover as newlyweds at an oceanside resort where couples are going missing, can they put their differences aside for long enough to solve the case? And can they fix what’s broken between them before it’s too late?
*** light up the dark
He’s not a big film geek, especially not when it comes to indie movies. Probably the only reason he knows Even Bech Næsheim’s name is because Magnus and Vilde and also like, the rest of the world, will not shut up about him.But, in the privacy of his own bedroom with no one there to see, there’s no reason to deny that Even Bech Næsheim has a really nice face to look at and that the way his eyes crinkle when he smiles in the last picture Magnus sent does something funny to Isak’s stomach for a moment. Or the Notthing Hill AU some of you asked for.
Scripted
As kids, Isak and Even were part of “Skittles” a popular children’s show where they sang silly songs, and did even sillier dances (in equally ridiculous costumes), between classes and tutoring. For eight years, they were inseparable. Best friends. You’d rarely find one without the other.That is, until the show ended for them.Isak and Even didn’t just drift apart, they fractured. For Isak, being a “skittle” had been a dream come true, and the first step on his rise to the top of the acting A-list. For Even, it had been an embarrassment. Something to forget as he tried to move on to more serious things. But he never could quite forget Isak, even though Isak seems to have forgotten him.When Even gets a shot at a role in an edgy TV drama, one very far from his kiddie-show origins, he reluctantly takes the chance. Then he learns his co-star will be none other than Isak himself. Even is wary. Will they be able to recapture their friendship? More importantly, can he work side-by-side with Isak and not reveal his biggest secret? That Isak is the only person he’s ever loved.
you're gonna sing the words wrong
He looks like someone stuck together a bunch of parts they thought looked good on their own and expected the result to look like a person, with no sense of what an actual person looks like.Ridiculous. He should look utterly fucking ridiculous.(The most ridiculous thing is that he doesn’t.)“Goddamn,” Eva says approvingly. “Them calves, though.” Marching band AU.
Carry on
In the end it was his stupid insecurities and ugly jealousy that became their downfall.“I’m so so sorry,” He stuttered between his sobs. “P-p-please give me another ch-chance”For a moment Even just looked at him. Beautiful, amazing Even who was the best thing that had ever happened to Isak. There were tears in his eyes too. When he shook his head sadly, one tear made its way down his cheek.“I think I want to break up” He finally whispered.
Cathedrals of Light, Salt and Snow
What he wants to say, and cannot bring himself to admit: Before you there was no real me. Only a person pretending to be. Or, alternatively: Isak comes back to face death, and in the meantime, finds rebirth.
*** scarves of red tied 'round their throats
The last time Isak saw Even, he was sweaty and naked underneath him, only to pack up and leave the next morning. Now, they're together at the Winter Olympics, a coincidence which was never going to be a coincidence considering Isak was well aware of the profession that Even was in as well.With Even apparently desperate to cover up their one interaction, Isak has to try and last the rest of the games without seeing his stupidly handsome and attractive face while concentrating on his own performance. Personally, Isak thinks this could be the hardest challenge of his life.
*** to be alone with you
Jonas pats Isak’s shoulder again. “It’s okay, Issy. There are worse things than having a stepbrother that’s cooler than you.”Isak scoffs in protest. “Even is not cooler than me. You just like him because he’s a tree-hugger like you. And stop calling him my stepbrother… they’re not even married yet.” Or the stepsibling AU noody asked for.
*** Stuck (in the middle) with you
The boys get stuck together five times, then one time miraculously they don't (though the first time is more 'thrown together by circumstance' than 'stuck together'). There's lots of mutual pining and mutual idiocy about it. Miscommunication abounds, and Isak drools a lot.
Nothing Softer Or More Flexible
Even is suffering from writer's block. Given that he has to write and film a short film on love (Love! A subject he loves!) that's not ideal. He finds unlikely inspiration in an old essay from one Isak V.
*** Knock Four Times
Isak is a senior in college, studying at a university in America. He lives in an apartment on campus with three other guys and works part-time in the student center to help with his tuition. As much as he’s enjoyed the whole college experience, he’s ready to graduate and head back to Oslo, to his city, his family, and his boyfriend.But then, during the first week of his last semester, he steps off the elevator onto his floor and sees a guy sitting in the empty hallway. Isak walks over to see if he needs help with something, and finds out three very important things: his name is Even, he just moved into the building but already got locked out, and he is fucking gorgeous.
Make me brunch and tell me you love me
Even is a crown prince of Norway. While visiting a fancy restaurant in Oslo, he sees a cute trainee chef and decides, that he will do anything just to get his attention, even if that means visiting the same restaurant more than it was necesssary. Or 5 times Even appears in a restaurant where Isak works + 1 time when Isak... well, you’ll see.
Minute by Minute
Isak is angry at the world after his ex Julian cheated on him. But he can´t escape his life or his ex. He needs the help of his friends to find to himself again. (Basically Isak going through the five stages after a break-up).
*** beautiful people will ruin your life
Isak is eight when the first mark appears on his skin. He knows it's happening. Or happened, he supposes. His soulmate has made their appearance.Or, in a world where two people can communicate solely by writing on their skin, Isak and Even are the best of friends until a lie burrows its way between them and nearly rips them apart.
All the climbing, all the falling
Isak and Even never saw each other after that night at the Plaza. Five years later Isak studies molecular biology in Bergen and keeps running into someone tall and blond.It rains a lot, there are mountains to climb, and some things start to fall into place.
I Can't Fall In Love With Him, Stop Me From Falling
Prince Isak of Norway is set to be married to Princess Eva in three weeks time, with the proposal happening only days after the announcement. When Princess Eva and her family arrive with their gardener, Even, Isak can barely stand him strutting around his palace, getting in the way of the gardening work his friend Jonas has already done. It's rocky, the relationship between them, can they somehow make it work in three weeks?
I Just Want You For My Own
Even loves the holidays, really.He loves spending time with his friends and family, drinking hot chocolate by the fire, exchanging gifts, the like. He loves leaving his apartment to see snow falling from the sky, children’s eyes lit up in excitement, and the general busy bustle of downtown Oslo in December.You know what he doesn’t love about Christmas time? Working in a fucking Post Office. Or: the Co-Workers au/Christmas fic that no one asked for.
Love is a battlefield
Love conquers all. Love defeats all.Sometimes love pulls you apart. Sometimes for a period in time, sometimes forever.And sometimes love is a battlefield.
*** A Losing Game
Even makes fun of Mikael for his blossoming romance with "super cool third year" Jonas before he meets Jonas's roommate.
sink into the floor with me, baby
Love exists in layers and levels and parallel universes, and sometimes it exists on bathroom floors.
*** Though our parts are slightly used
Isak is in pining for Jonas, and Even is pining for Mikael. Jonas and Mikael are dating. Isak and Even meet. Or: Isak thinks love is a risk, and Even thinks it's tragedy. That's the beginning, anyway.
You'll Kill Me If You Stop
Isak decides to go and see the film 'Call Me By Your Name' because he can't turn off his own feelings that have been building for a long time now. He thinks he won't see anyone he knows there because this isn't the kind of film his friends or anyone from Nissen would appreciate.
But then he sits next to Even, who is also seeing the film alone.
Carry on
The last thing Even remembered before darkness, were lights. And a lot of noise, maybe someone screaming. Probably for help. Everything was moving way too fast. But he didn’t know, because the darkness swallowed him.When he wakes up, he has many questions: Who is Isak? And why does he feel like he fucked up?
Keep coming back to you
SEQUEL to Carry On. Even comes back to Isak. They have some things to talk about.
The Nothingness of Stars
Isak Valtersen has more money than sense, more fame than he ever asked for and zero friends. He has kind of fucked that all up by employing the few friends that have stuck by him, and now he is stuck in this surreal pseudo existence where he can barely function as a human being anymore. It sucks. It sucks a lot.Even Bech Næsheim's life is over. Well what more can you say when you have just been epically sacked from the 25 million dollar production of ''The Darkest Time''. This was Even's year. His film. His time to shine. Instead he has been forced to go and babysit some arsehole actor for the last couple of weeks of this promotional tour. 5 weeks of hell watching some kid spew rubbish in interviews and swan around on red carpets. Even can't think of anything worse.It's only 5 weeks. And it's not like Even has anywhere better to be.
What's your secret?
Isak was still standing in the hallway looking at his feet so Even decided to ask him again. "Come on." Even patted the empty space next to him. "I won't bite." Lisa barked out a laugh and Even smiled while Isak's blush got deeper. He slowly removed his jacket and scarf and moved to sit next to Even, leaving a bit of space between them.
(Isak is a mysterious shy blushing mess and has a huge secret that no one knows about except Terje and Lisa's dad). Spoiler: the secret is not him being gay.
Ground rules
”So,” the man in front of him goes on ”you know all these books and movies about fake relationships?”Isak looks at him and smiles. ”Yes, I know all these books and movies” he answers. He kind of think he knows where this is going, but he is still waiting for the other man to elaborate.The man smiles back at him and drags his own hand through his quite long hair. He´s got beautiful hair, Isak notes to himself. He can understand the appeal.“Well, all these romantic movies about fake relationships where they end up falling for each other in the process? This it not one of those movies.””Jeez, I know. We´ve been over this a few times.” Isak takes a sip of his almost cold coffee and his smile is turning a little smug. “You´re not really my type anyway, so.” Or: the travel AU where everything is not what it seems.
Not in the stars to hold our destiny
“What the fuck,” Even murmurs, and Isak almost wants to mock him, but he refrains. He’s not 16 anymore. “Everything okay, Isak?”
“Peachy.” Isak doesn’t look at him. “Go find someone else to talk to.” Miss him with that shit. “Wow, what the fuck. Get off your high horse.” Even sounds irritated, too. Good. Isak just snorts. “When you’ll take off that stick from your ass,” he hisses, and then goes up to Mikha. He doesn’t need to make a scene in front of everyone. [Or, the one in which Even and Isak can't stand each other, but they still end up together eventually.]
The Lifeguard
In which Isak and his friends spend some weeks at Eva's cabin during the summer, and Isak happens to develop a crush on the local pool's lifeguard.
Coming Home
Isak's mom passes away, leaving him the house he grew up in. He pushes off going back there for three months after her funeral, using work and med school as excuses not to. Finally he returns in December and while standing outside, trying to gather the courage to walk inside for the first time since the funeral, he meets Even who is staying with his parents, the next door neighbours.
Cheese Sandwiches by the Akerselva
One-Shot. Set in the days before Even started Nissen. Still down from losing his old life Even walks around the streets of Oslo on a cold, dark Friday night, with the intention of clearing his head. However, clearing his head becomes impossible when every thought is taken over by the beautiful drunk boy he saves from being hit by a tram.
it's exciting running through the night
It's always been Isak and Even against the world. They grow up and they grow apart, but they always come back to each other.Or where, in a story told throughout the years, Isak and Even realize the only thing in this universe they know for certain is each other.
Good Roast
“What can I say, these events are crawling with self-indulgent, condescending assholes with inflated egos, with which I’m sure you’re familiar.”Even’s blue eyes flash at his words and he smiles devilishly. “I was under the impression that you thrived on these things.” Or, Isak is a cynical, sharp-tongued film critic, and Even is a rising filmmaker.
*** SØNDAG 01:05
The boy squad is hanging out in the bathtub smoking - as one does at a party - when a gorgeous boy walks into the bathroom. Isak might or might not be smooth. Or: It’s Sunday, 02.10.16, 01:05 and some things are the same while others are a little different.
*** All this and heaven too
The first time, it’s just a hookup, a quick blowjob in a club bathroom.
The next time Isak pretends he’s never seen him before. But maybe that’s because they’re at church. And the pastor is Isak’s dad. Even shouldn’t want the closeted pastor’s son like this, but it’s impossible not to. Especially when he’s already had a taste. Or the Isak is a (closeted) pastor’s son AU.
*** Eight Count
Isak is a dancer who is losing his passion. Right when his best friend, Eva, needs his help with her struggling dance company.But when the famous Even Bech Næsheim joins their company, Isak thinks he might find inspiration again. Dance movie AU.
*** Blood vs. Water
