love that michael asks us 'should i use the internet again' and then the very first thing he does is accidentally imply southy died

[allsassnoclass]

hazel!! glad to also see that writing is fun for you again too, it's a nice feeling :) I'd love to know if "dog" (or any of the dog's names) or "start" comes up in your wip 💜

Hi Amanda :)

3 of the dogs appear in the wip i'm hoping to post tomorrow!!!

Moose and Southy

The stage has been stripped with the efficiency of a practiced road crew, the gorgeous flower arrangements have moved to tasteful positions around the deck and patio, and the long banquet table has disappeared, replaced by Michael and Crystal’s normal outdoor furniture.  Moose and Southy lie in the yard exhausted, two bright spots against the dark grass.  The only sounds remaining in the yard are the faint rumble of cars from the street and the echoes of voices and laughter from the evening.

start is from my raven cycle au, because annie reminded me of it recently and i absolutely love it

“The other night–” he starts, then stops again.  It’s times like these when Ashton wishes he could read Michael’s mind.  He knows that they understand each other better than most people, but sometimes Ashton still feels like everyone around him is just out of reach, like he’s watching them through a frosted-glass window.  It gets especially bad with Michael.  He knows him better than he knows anyone, but in a way they’re still complete strangers.  Opposites.

Send me a word, if it’s in my wip document I’ll answer your ask with the sentence that it appears in

michael opens the door to your shared home, he slips his shoes off and drops his keys on the table next to the door. “babe?” he calls out as he walks through the empty house.

usually, you’re in the kitchen or on the sofa binging a new tv show you found, and inevitably get michael hooked on it as well.

but it was dark and quiet with you nowhere to be seen.

he walks through the house, peeking his head in a few rooms as he heads upstairs. just to see if you were maybe in the bathroom or laundry room, but still no sign of you.

as he opens the bedroom door he is met with your figure curled up underneath the duvet with southy and moose at your feet. he sees how your chest is rising and falling steadily so, he assumes you are asleep.

michael walks to his side of the bed, taking everything out of his pockets and resting them on the bedside table, he gingerly raises the duvet and lets himself under.

“mike?” you hum feeling his side of the bed dip. you hear him shuffling on his side thinking he was getting comfortable.

“i’m home..” he says softly, you hear the rasp in his voice and know he was tired. “mm” you sing finding his body heat and curling up by his side. “missed you” you say into the fabric of his shirt.

he pulls you close to his side, wrapping his arms around your figure. you feel his hand come to your back and he draws shapes, “you okay?” he asks, but you only hum in return and then fall silent for a bit.

“bad day, work was rough. i just..don’t know” you sigh. you weren’t good with your words, you could never explain how you felt so oftentimes you’d just keep everything bottled up. “it’s okay..” michael could feel your frustrations and then tension in the air, he was always a good listener but more importantly he could understand your emotions without you even uttering one word.

“im just so burnt out. needed a break” you add. michael is still rubbing your back, then he presses a kiss in your hair. “we all need a break here and there” he reassures, offering some comfort. “mm” you reply.

for a while the both of you fall quiet, listening teach others and breathing with your eyes closed. you never had to say anything sometimes, just being wrapped in each other's arms was enough.

“how was the studio?” you ask, wanting some insight on his day. “good” he answers, but you hear his tired he sounds. he was probably drifting off. “we finished mixing the album, so it won’t be much longer till it’s completed.” you smile, knowing how hard they had been working on this album and how much it meant.

“had i known that i would’ve made dinner to celebrate” you chuckle quietly. “nah” he replies, “this is enough. just having you in my arms is enough for me..” he adds, then proceeds to squeeze you as you laugh.

“i love you, y/n” he says, kissing you softly. “i love you too, michael.”

Winter (2) Masterlist

part one

Books, Coffee and Snowflakes in his hair (ao3) - ethereal_larry (ttmngx) luke/ashton G, 3k

Summary: Luke was the cutest and the smartes person Ashton ever met. And even though Ashton was never afrain of anything, he was terryfied to talk to the boy who always read the same book. But maybe if he did, everything would change.

‘Cause I don’t know where it’s goin’ (there’s a part of me that loves not knowin’) (ao3) - Calumthoodshands (tndart) luke/calum G, 3k

Summary: All Luke wants is for his plane to take off and him with it to go home for Christmas — but the snow has other plans for him, and a day destined to be terrible gets lightened up from a rather unexpected place.

crimson and cream (ao3) - galacticsugar luke/calum T, 3k

Summary: “The things you decide to be a perfectionist about are so interesting.” Calum’s mouth says interesting, but his tone says I’m obsessed with you.

Luke’s it for Calum. He’s always kind of known it, he’s just been patient. Waiting for some intangible thing that will make the time right. He’s not waiting for Luke to realize Calum’s it for him too. Luke also already knows. He just hasn’t quite realized he deserves to have what he wants.

Falling (on the ice) For You (ao3) - allsassnoclass (brightblackholes) michael/ashton T, 2k

Summary: Michael doesn't know how it happens. One moment he's minding his own business, walking his dogs like a good owner even though it's well below freezing, and the next his feet are no longer under him. He blinks up at the clear blue sky, Southy barking in one ear and Moose whining in the other, and registers just how many different parts of his body hurt.

Let It Snow (ao3) - friendstothis michael/luke N/R, 319

Summary: Luke just loves the snow, and Michael finds it adorable.

never one for winter (ao3) - galacticsugar luke/calum M, 20k

Summary: “Hey Cal, it’s Luke. Uh, so I’m actually coming home for Christmas. Kind of a last minute thing. I’m literally on a plane, about to take off but, um — are you gonna be around tonight? I thought maybe I could stop by. Let me know, and I’ll figure it out when I land.”

As soon as the plane lands, Luke flips off airplane mode and waits, shaking from the suspense, the stress, the everything that has been his life over the past few hours.

There’s a text from Calum. 

Calum: i’m around. And i’ve got tequila.

pas de deux (ao3) - allsassnoclass (brightblackholes) michael/ashton, background roy/calum T, 50k

Summary: Michael Clifford is an up and coming choreographer who has been brought to the Minneapolis Ballet to revamp their production of The Nutcracker. Ashton Irwin was a ballet prodigy who stepped out of the spotlight after a devastating injury five years ago and is now ready to return to dance. After they begin fake dating to protect a secret, they end up spending a lot more time together than either of them anticipated, both inside the rehearsal room and outside of it.

sidekick (ao3) - galacticsugar luke/calum M, 5k

Summary: Calum doesn’t question the smooth footprints, because he knows the bottom of Luke’s shoes like he knows the back of his own hand. He questions something else, though, when they get to Luke’s car, parked two spaces closer to the theater than Calum’s, and Luke looks over his shoulder. Calum starts to raise his hand to wave goodbye, planning to keep walking and get his cold feet into his car as soon as possible, but then the breeze ruffles Luke’s hair across his eyes and everything stops.

taking the long way home - @sup3rbloom (haveufoundwhaturlookingfor) michael/calum, luke/ashton T, 1k

Summary: The weather is calling for a winter storm, and Calum's worried about flying. Michael does his best to assure his soulmate that everything is going to be fine because Calum's the best pilot he knows.

Winter Wonderland (ao3) - HeartbreakAshton94 michael/ashton T, 331

Summary: Michael gets high and decorate the house in unusual Christmas decorations

The 13 Lucky Stars

Father's Side:

Diane: The tribute to a dominatrix, as the heterosexual male. Therefore, homosexuals, function as gigalos, for fine food.

Michael: The placement of a team of arts, essential to league play, as against the prime team of reform. The eternal flaw in a gem, removed, by placement in ring.

Steven: The riot, as preservation of our rights as citizens, under Kennedy's code; not the police as dominant, but ourselves as citizens policing each other.

Ellen: The comic book, as the essential core root of any intelligence organization. Therefore, any new character, as a shortcut through a tax accommodation, the placement of skin as the most essential form of logic.

Mother's Side:

Gene: The madness, of a toy, having succumbed a country. The love in the simple, as Mao Zedong would intend.

Marie: The hidden South, as anyone seeking a new redemption. Lincoln as his proper stafford, a secret ale house; any guided in, having found America, Judea.

Evelyn: The affair as the consummate on heart, to marry, in any way possible. A whole crop of affairs, out of one, to truly understand the double way path crossed of law. The criminal bacterium, as the real affection for a woman.

Danny: The return to mother as if original religion. A sex offender, as a bondage top.

Roberta: The branched path, as the lie of the service; hence any obseleted logic, as removed, through the children; those feeling popular, as civilians.

Jimmy: The absolute horror in war, as having betrayed by own comrades, on the hunt for a new terror. The only way out, working for the CIA. "Pinkville", the My Lai Massacre.

Timmy: The elimination of three poor figures, from the lower populaces of the Senate; the three improper leaders, the scandal, and the resumption of progress, in the culprit of populaces scorned slashed through ribbons of each; hence, the new common news broadcast, at book of congress, not Congress.

Francis: The dragging of a potato, through Southie, to attract a bunch of micks, the Iranian-Jews claiming Irish. Horatio Alger, a real love story, of the political families of Boston; those refusing Jewish heritage, for Boston pride. Not the place you're from, but the place you are.

Alice: The theft of records, as countered by print through the Mossad, and the live field assassin, as having raised children of all ages and origins, as "Mega Man"; the spouse.

It’s funny, I thought, how the people who seem the meanest, the people we want nothing to do with, might be in the most pain.

[talkfastromance4]

Bet it was Michaels idea to post that rip Southy’s blue ball but I damn near had a heart attack thinking it was for Southy!!! You can’t do that to us!!😩😩😩

[allsassnoclass]

ooooooooooo I was tagged by the fantastic @carouselstars to share excerpts from works in progress using the words "hope," "want," "blanket," and "tall." Thank you!!!

Hope

Calum supposes it was too much to hope for Michael to turn up today.  The unpredictability sets his teeth on edge, hair at the back of his neck standing on end and a shiver ghosting up his spine. “Hey, this already looks better!” Calum jumps about five feet in the air, barely avoiding kicking over the open can of primer at his feet. “You dick!” he complains, turning to find Michael laughing at him.  “You scared me!” “Isn’t that part of my job?” Michael asks.  “Like, doesn’t that come with being a ghost?”

Want

“Can you make him stop?” Ashton asks, scooping up Southy.  He keeps barking, high chihuahua yips that make him wince.  Michael shrugs. “He’s got a problem with Moose.” “Have you considered that maybe one dog is enough for us?” The offended look Michael gives him immediately makes him feel guilty. “Look at her,” Michael says, holding up a now full and sated Moose.  “You want me to get rid of this precious thing?  You want me to cast her aside to live in a kennel where she won’t be properly loved?”

Blanket

unfortunately, blanket doesn't appear in the 8 wips i was leafing through for this. i even broke out the mcdanno fic i'm writing by hand in my binder and skimmed through it. blanket is not here :(

Tall

The bar itself is a hole-in-the-wall place with surprisingly easy parking.  Michael is a few minutes late, so he doesn’t waste any time lingering outside and instead pushes the door open.  The inside is dim, but not too dark that he can’t spot Luke and Ashton right away, especially with how tall they both are.  They’ve secured a table in the trivia section, and he side-steps a few people to make his way over to them. “Mike!  Hey, pull up a chair!  Glad you could make it!” Ashton says, kicking out the chair next to Luke.  It’s a miracle that he doesn't also kick him in the process.

I would like to tag @igarbagecannoteven, @clumsyclifford, and @chamaleonsoul with the words "warm," "heavy," "almost," and "talk"

Together, Forever, 5 Seconds of Summer

Written by Neena to complete a mission from @of5SOUNDS

That morning, as usual, Michael had a breakfast with his beloved puppy, Southy. With a bright face he lifted Southy into his arms and enjoyed the beginning of the day. "Oh no! I cannot be late!" Michael realized that it was already 7 AM and preparations for the concert started in half an hour. Running towards his favorite car with the car keys wrapped around his index finger and several items carried in his left hand, Michael immediately went to meet his 5SOS mates.

"That's Michael! Hey, bro. You're not late again today, are you? Haha" said Cal familiarly.

"Yeah, of course. Never doubt me, Cal!" Michael answered.

They also prepared themselves, assisted by several make-up artists who maximized their appearance. Outfit after outfit was given and worn well, they felt comfortable and matched the concert dress code that day. "This is cool!!", exclaimed Ashton.

Preparations were completed, and was the time for them to show themselves. While walking side by side, their feet stepped onto the magnificent stage that had been prepared just for them. Each other gives a glance to the other. Luke said, "Guys, remember who we are", his smile widened, followed by his three other friends.

In their hearts they echo one voice, one thought, and one feeling, "Together, Forever, 5 Seconds of Summer!"
