millie’s long list of malex fics | Finding You by myrmidryad / @myrmidryad
Kissing a boy was no different to kissing a girl, in practice. Kissing Alex was different to kissing anyone else, and Michael’s brain didn’t have the space to think about it. He’d never kissed anyone like that before, without being absolutely sure they wanted him to. His mind had never gone blank and a little bit desperate like that. He’d never been so happy to find out that someone wanted to kiss him back.
Alex wanted to kiss him back. The fake stars were shining on the wall behind them, and Alex’s arms were around him, hands grabbing at Michael’s hoodie. Michael slid his under Alex’s sleeveless combat jacket thing, fingers catching in the cheap fabric of his UFO Emporium t-shirt as Alex made a soft noise into his mouth that Michael caught, a fizz of heat going through his skin.
What if events in 2008 went slightly differently, and Michael and Alex joined Max and Liz on their summer road trip across the US? Features: escaping Roswell, camping, teen love, secret reveals, many confessions of feelings, and everyone involved generally having a very good summer with a hopeful ending.
comment: masterpiece after masterpiece! this is just another in a list of amazing long fics that @myrmidryad has gifted as with. if you enjoyed their fic Take Me Back To The Start and their take on teenage alex, you will absolutely devour this. i love canon divergence that branches off during their highschool years, and this is a beautiful, indulgent cross-country roadtrip with these teen sweethearts. i really can’t do much more than insist you read it. it’s so lovely. i cried at several parts. i have visceral memories of certain paragraphs. this fic is worth every second you spend reading it.
have a fic you’d like to see on the list? let me know!
