Hello again! I’ve been searching for a post-s5 breakup, canon divergent, getting back together fic, and I simply cannot find it. I’ve checked tags, I’ve tried all the combinations of key words I could think of, and I’ve searched for what I thought were relevant words within different fics. I was hoping you would be able to help me. Here’s what I remember…
Ian and Mickey are broken up and Ian is trying to get back together with Mickey but Mickey kind of distant. Mickey lives in the apartment above/in the Alibi and Yevgeny stays with him sometimes. I remember that Ian would come to his door a lot to talk to him, but Mickey wouldn’t let him in. But then one night something happens with Terry, I think he tried to break in? And then Ian’s there for the aftermath and Mickey lets him come in and Ian comforts him and eventually they work things out and get back together.
Does this ring any bells to any of you? Crossing my fingers that it does, but no worries if it doesn’t. Thank you so much for your help!
We’re so sorry! While this scenario is so familiar, none of us could place it. We also did the same thing as you — combed Ao3 for anything relevant but nothing turned up. It’s either been deleted or might live on Tumblr. Maybe it's an untagged story?
ETA: Okay, thanks to @arrowflier who suggested What if nothing ever gives you that same thrill again?
Hi! Are you taking prompts right now? If not, super sorry to bother you! But if you are, do you think you could write some fluffy nurseydex? I've been having a bad day and could use a pick me up. Thanks either way!
Hi! Could you maybe write a nurseydex comfort?? I'm a bit down rn, people keep bashing my hockey team just because we won
“I almost cried in front of three different advisors today,” Dex huffs, sitting down on the edge of his bed.
“Oh - um,” Nursey chokes out. He’s a little caught off guard - he certainly wasn’t expecting that response when he asked Dex how his day went.
“I didn’t actually cry,” Dex shrugs, as if that makes it better, “Thought about it, though.”
Nursey doesn’t know if he’s supposed to press for more information or let Dex be. They’ve been dating for a month, he’s still trying to feel their relationship out. He waits a beat, and when Dex doesn’t elaborate at all he can’t help himself from asking, “Why?”
“I think...” Dex trails off, takes a deep breath, and starts again, “I think I’m going to change my major.” He says it through a slight, cynical laugh, shaking his head, as if he thinks it’s crazy and he’s amused by it. Nursey knows him a bit better than that, though. He’s scared.
“Oh yeah?” Nursey asks, shooting for a gentle tone and landing somewhere near prepubescent.
“Yeah,” Dex says, “I’m just not interested in any of my classes, you know? Like, I’m not doing bad in them, but I have to force myself to care about them, and every time I think about spending the rest of my life working a job in this field, I just - “ Dex cuts off, shaking his head again.
Nursey wishes he had the words - the words that aren’t cliche, the words that you couldn’t find on a pillow at any Home Goods. Chase your dreams, Dex. Do what makes you happy, Dex. Find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life, Dex.
“But I know it’s impractical, to change in the middle of junior year, and it’s wasting so much money, and at least I know I could get a job with CS, but - “
“But that’s not what you want,” Nursey finishes for him. Dex’s nod is more resigned than agreeing. He shifts on the bed, flopping backwards so he’s sprawled out on his back, eyes shut tight. Nursey figures this is his call to action.
He sits down on the side of the bed as gingerly as possible, reaching down to run his hand through Dex’s already-messy hair.
“You know it’s okay to do something because you love to do it, right?” Nursey asks quietly. Dex doesn’t respond, so he continues, “It doesn’t have to be about money, or getting a job, or anyone’s expectations of you. It’s your career. It’s your life. You get to choose, no one else, because no one else can decide what will make you happy. So fuck all of it. Fuck the projected incomes and societal expectations and job markets. Fuck everything except how you feel. Pick something that makes you happy, and I promise you everyone who loves you will support you.”
“What if I pick something else and end up unhappy anyway?” Dex whispers, eyes still squeezed shut.
Nursey shrugs, “Then you pick again. Pick again and again and again until you’re happy.”
“Okay,” Dex laughs, “And are you gonna stick with me when I’m thirty and still in undergrad?”
“Absolutely,” Nursey answers without hesitation. “As long as you pick me, too,” he adds.
Dex does open his eyes, then, circling his fingers around Nursey’s wrist and tugging it down so he can kiss his palm.
“If I’m choosing what makes me happy then I’m always going to pick you, Nursey,” he whispers.
“That’s gay,” Nursey blurts without thinking.
“Yeah, it is,” Dex nods, smiling bright and wide as he tugs Nursey down for a kiss.
Your tags on the 7.11/7.12 gifset have me CRYING 😭
I always get super emotional whenever I think about how Ian probably thought he was never going to see Mickey again 😭😭
yeah same 😭😭 it was his decision not to go, and it must've cost him so fucking much to make that decision. I think it probably hit him on the way back to Chicago, the enormity of what he almost did and of everything he gave up by ultimately deciding not to go... he just had no way to contact Mickey or to know if he was okay-- he definitely thought there was a very good chance that was it for them and that he'd never see Mickey again 💔🤕🤕

Nursey was curled up on the floor, shaking, tears running down his face. “Oh my god, please stop crying,” Dex said. “Are you really crying? It wasn’t that funny.” If there was one thing he could depend on from Nursey, it was an overly dramatic reaction. His claims of “chill” were all giant lies.
“Your... face...” Nursey said, still crying with laughter. “Holy shit, you should’ve seen your face.”
“I can’t see my own face, dumbass,” Dex said, crossing his arms over his chest. “And it can’t have been that funny.”
“Trust me, it was,” Nursey said, sitting up. “But seriously, who’s Bruce Springsteen?”
Hello! I'm looking for a Sterek fic where Stiles gets pregnant (with Derek's baby) and Derek doesn't know. And for some reason Stiles goes to live with Jackson? That's all I really remember, but hopefully someone can find it for me! Thank you!
I just remembered that I'm also looking for another Sterek fic! This one is post season 2 like shortly after Stiles gets beaten by Gerard. And he gets really badly beaten and then Derek and his betas take care of him and help him through a panic attack at school. I don't think Scott is really around in this fic, and if he is it's one of those 'Scott is a bad friend' fics. Thank you again!
