Are there any good 5SOS friendship fics?

the answer is definitely yes! we have fantastic writers in this fandom, so there are great friendship fics here. i can compile a list based on previous times i've answered this question, but i haven't been reading much 5sos fic for the past year and friendship fics have never been my favorite type of fic.

to find friendship fics on ao3, search for any of the pairings with a & sign instead of a / (example: Michael Clifford & Luke Hemmings). You can filter out the romantic pairings by excluding pairings with a / on the filters bar. this is a great way to find friendship fics, especially because asking me is only going to get the fics i'm aware of in my small circle here on tumblr, whereas filtering on ao3 will help you find a whole lot more!

now on to my recs:

with open hearts and open eyes by @lifewasradical: rated G, ot4 friendship, 2k. very highly recommend this one i love it a lot

If he closes his eyes, Luke thinks he can almost believe that he’s 16 again, that they’re in Australia and they’re just starting out, thrumming with energy and excitement and glee that still lingers in their bones if they look hard enough. Some of that childlike wonder bleeds through the moment, Luke’s sure of it, as the others all turn onto their stomachs too. Their outlines are barely able to be seen through the darkness, but Luke would know the contours of the other guys even if he went blind.

If I Can Dream Long Enough by @4thbrighteststar: rated G, ot4 friendship, 2k.

Luke leans back, closes his eyes and lets the setting sun wash over his face, lets his fingers find a rhythm of their own. Third fret, fifth string. Tenth fret - his fingers hop up and down the guitar. Seventh fret. Fifth fret - no, keep the riff. He loses himself in it, until the wind and the birds and the distant, roaring cars fall silent in the face of the music he’s making by himself for the first time in eternity.

(An ode to making music in the toughest of times.)

am i broken (are you the saviour) by jbhmalum, rated T, malum friendship, 4k

He should do something. Maybe take a deep breath, in and out. Maybe turn on the bedside lamp. Maybe go lie down on the cold bathroom floor. Maybe bury himself under Calum’s covers and cuddle up to him; it probably wouldn’t even wake Calum, and Michael would get the comfort he needs.

Michael hears something he didn’t want to and has a hard time dealing with it.

dearly depressed and brokenhearted (i’d like to let you know that boys cry too) by @clumsyclifford: rated T, muke friendship, 2k

Michael returns. He’s wearing a jacket and a beanie and there’s a blanket from off their couch in his hands.

“Michael,” Luke says.

“Please,” Michael says. “I’m obviously not going to convince you to come inside, but I don’t want you to freeze.” He takes the steps, footsteps falling where Luke’s had, and comes close enough to Luke that when he offers up the blanket, Luke reaches out and takes it. “I know you don’t wear jackets,” Michael explains.

(It’s cold and rainy out. Luke goes for a walk.)

crack a smile, stay a while (am i holding for applause?) by @clumsyclifford: rated T, cashton friendship (but the other two are there as well), 1k

Glancing down at Ashton, Michael adds, “What’s with him?”

“He’s convinced he’s going to do terribly and publicly humiliate himself,” Calum says, rolling his eyes again for good measure.

“No, you’ll be great,” Michael says brightly. “Calum’s always saying how you’re the most talented person in his music whatever class.”

“Calum’s stupid and wrong,” floats Ashton’s voice from somewhere underneath the seat.

no love sincerer (than the love of food) by TempestRising: rated G, ot4 friendship, 4k

5 times One Direction fed 5 Seconds of Summer / 1 time One Direction needed feeding.

melancholy & honey by @igarbagecannoteven: rated G, malum friendship, 500 words, they’re bees (yes you read that right)

Michael’s only been resting there for a minute when he hears a familiar hum approaching him from behind. He doesn’t have to turn his head to know it’s Calum.

glitter by @igarbagecannoteven: rated G, cake friendship

Calum has no idea how Luke is able to infect all of their tour gear with glitter so completely.

40. “There's something about you that makes me feel alive.” for mashton 🙏🙏

this is based on such a happy song but i am in a mood so i wrote more mashton angst, i’m sure everyone is shocked! idek how to trigger tag this, it’s just angsty and frustrated and nonsensical but it was therapeutic to write and to read back so <3

“there's something about you that makes me feel alive.”

Michael hears the door slam open, then shut. He’s in the kitchen, and the walls vibrate. He looks up from the kettle just as Ashton storms right past him and into their bedroom, shoulders drawn in tight.

Michael looks back down at the kettle for a moment, but flicks the switch to turn it off before it’s done boiling. It’s not the time for tea.

Sometimes, when Ashton feels like he’s starting to rip at the seams, when he feels too spread out, he needs soft words and gentle touches. Sometimes, Ashton will accept looking after, even though he hates to need it. Sometimes, Ashton will curl up into Michael’s shirt and let himself be pulled back into himself.

This is not one of those times.

When Ashton feels too curled in, when he feels shrunken, he needs to be given the space to be big. Ashton needs symbolic permission to feel as much as he wants to feel, however he might want to feel it.

Michael gives him a minute, then makes his way into the bedroom. Ashton is lying on his front with his arms crossed under his head, face turned to the side. Every part of him screams tense.

Michael sits on the edge of the bed, too far to touch. “Want to go for a drive?” Michael asks.

“No,” Ashton huffs.

“Okay,” Michael says. “Want to go for a walk?”

“No.”

“Want to do for a swim?”

“No,” Ashton huffs again, and turns his face into his arms. “Fine, let’s just go for a drive.”

“I’ll get my keys,” Michael says. He leaves Ashton in their bedroom, still facedown on the bed. Ashton will wallow for a few minutes, trying to convince himself that he doesn’t need help. They’re well beyond the point where Michael has to convince Ashton that he deserves to have people around him, even when he’s not in a good mood. Ashton knows, but he needs to remind himself. He needs to take the time to make sure he believes it.

Michael waits by the door until Ashton joins him, still hunched, still tense, but less withdrawn, at least.

They leave the house and lock up, then climb into the car in silence.

“Where are we going?” Ashton asks, once Michael’s pulling out of the driveway.

“Where do you want to go?”

Ashton shrugs and turns to look out the window. Michael flicks his eyes between him and the road. “We can just drive. We don’t need to be going somewhere.”

Ashton huffs. “That’s a waste.”

“Then pick somewhere,” Michael says simply.

Michael turns, and Ashton is still staring pointedly out the window.

“How about the trail?” Michael asks. It’s a medium-length walking path, and it’s too flat to really be considered a hike, which is good, because Michael can’t hike.

“We always go to the trail,” Ashton complains.

“We go because we like it,” Michael says.

“I like it,” Ashton says. He turns to face the road. “You tolerate it.”

“I like it.”

“No, you don’t.”

Michael shrugs and sets himself on the route to the walking trail. Ashton notices, but doesn’t comment.

It’s not a long drive, but it drags on in the quiet. When they arrive, Ashton tears out of the car before Michael can even shift into park.

Ashton sets off on the trail, into the forest. Michael follows a few paces behind.

They walk, and Michael sees it before Ashton even feels it. He sees his shoulders drop bit by bit, sees his head tilt further and further up. Eventually, he stops. Michael slows, and by the time he’s caught up, Ashton’s fists are clenched.

“I just – I want—” Ashton says once Michael is next to him.

“What do you want?”

“I want to just – I want to scream.”

“So scream,” Michael says.

“We’re on a public trail. I can’t just scream,” Ashton says, just over the edge of tight.

“I didn’t see anyone on our way in. The parking lot was empty.”

“I’m not going to scream.”

“You could, though,” Michael says.

“I know,” Ashton says. “I want to, but I won’t.” He sounds more resolved this time, and he’s taking up more of himself.

“What are you going to do then?”

“I don’t know.”

“Do you want to keep walking?”

“Alright,” Ashton says. They start together and are in step before they’re even moving. “Do you ever feel like you’re being taken away from yourself?”

Michael hums, a go on sound. He expects that the answer will be yes, because Ashton knows all of Michael’s fights.

“It’s like – there are so many things that I have to do but I don’t want to do, and it just – it feels like eventually that will be all there is left. It feels like it doesn’t matter what I want, what I like. It feels like the me of me is the worst part of me, you know?”

“I know,” Michael says, softly.

“I wish you didn’t,” Ashton says. “I knew you would, but I wish I could just—”

“Don’t,” Michael says. “We’re both always going to have our battles. I can’t take yours away, and you can’t take mine.”

“You kind of do, though,” Ashton admits. “I mean, for long enough to keep me myself. I guess – I don’t know. There's something about you that makes me feel alive.”

“Ash,” Michael says. “You are so undeniably alive.”

“Yeah,” Ashton says, like he doesn’t believe it.

“Really,” Michael says. “I don’t think I’ve ever known anyone as alive as you are.”

“Well, as long as you can see it—” Ashton trails off, but he’s walking like he fits into his skin, again.

“Are you sure you don’t want to scream?” Michael jokes.

“Maybe at home. I’ll ruin a pillow’s day, just for the fun of it.”

[tirednotflirting]

“I would’ve had breakfast ready, but you were sleeping on my arm, and I didn’t want to wake you.” for malum? 🥰

happy bday em <3 this prompt is old my apologies for missing it but i hope it’s fluffy nature will make up for it dfkjslkjd

For the first time in a long time, Calum isn’t woken up by the sound of an alarm. Instead it’s the sun peaking through the the curtains since one of them failed to close them the night before. He squeezes his eyes shut against the light and turns to face away from the window, his face turning into Michael’s neck. He nuzzles his nose there, inhaling Michael’s clean scent, trying to steady his breathing some in an attempt to fall back asleep.

His efforts are unfortunately interrupted when he feels Michael laugh gently against him. “Not ready to face the day yet, rock star?”

“Mikey, we finished the tour less than 24 hours ago. If you even have to ask that, it is too early to be awake yet.” Calum groans but presses a kiss to Michael’s stubbly jaw.

“Would be in full support of keeping you in bed all day but unfortunately we’re expected at the studio in,” Calum feels Michael pull away momentarily, obviously searching for his phone on the nightstand to check the time. “A little less than two hours.”

“Remind me again why we agreed to record with Ash the day after we finish tour? Like does Luke even have any voice at this point?”

“Because we had just gotten off stage from finishing a tour and we were too happy to remember the word ‘no’, unfortunately.” Michael smiles as he wraps his arm back around Calum’s middle, his fingers tracing shapes up and down his spine.

“We’re dumb, this is dumb.” Calum mumbles as he shifts to lay his head on Michael’s chest. “Gonna take so long to get out of this damn bed. We won’t even have time to eat.”

“Well, to be fair,” Michael sighs. “I would’ve had breakfast ready, but you were sleeping on my arm, and I didn’t want to wake you.“

Michael punctuates the words by lifting the arm that Calum’s head had been resting on to play with the short curls at the back of his neck. Calum leans into the action, quietly humming at the soothing feeling. “Guess that’s fair. Though if you were to make me a coffee, I would return the favor with lots of kisses and also driving to the studio?”

When he doesn’t immediately receive a response of an agreement and a kiss to his hair, Calum sits up, looking down at Michael’s face for the first time that morning. He’s obviously been awake for a bit now, sleep gone from his eyes but his cheeks still tinged pink from the warmth of cuddling all night. He smirks up at Calum now. “Why should you driving be incentive you make you coffee? I like driving.”

“Yes, but you take ages to find parking because you refuse to do it on the street so this way if I drive, we have time to drink the coffee and still get in on time and avoid Ashton’s disapproving looks.”

Michael makes a face as though pondering the idea before he shrugs. “Fair point. You want cream in the coffee?”

Calum smiles as he reaches for his phone before falling back against the pillows. “Yes and-”

“And one spoon of sugar. This isn’t my first rodeo.” Michael waves him off as he lifts up from the bed. He reaches down for the first hoodie he can find (in this case, one of Calum’s bigger ones so the sleeves run just a bit long) and tosses it on before heading out of the room. Calum hears Duke’s collar jingle as he follows Michael toward the kitchen.

Calum scrolls through his messages for a couple minutes before getting bored but also still needy for affection. He throws the covers back and doesn’t bother looking for anything to cover his upper half like Michael had. He pads his way down the stairs and into the kitchen. 

As his feet hit the tiled floor, Calum starts to realize that he probably should have at least thrown on some socks. He quickly makes his way over to where Michael stands at the counter, wrapping his arms around his middle and pulling him against his bare chest. Suddenly he feels so much warmer.

“You should move in.” Calum mumbles against his shoulder before pressing his lips there. 

“You’re only saying that because I got up to make the coffee,” Michael laughs, though he drops his free hand to hold one of Calum’s and his cheeks warm at the request. 

“No. I’m saying it because you know exactly how I’ll want to take my coffee depending on the day, you look stupidly adorable in my hoodies, and I’m crazy about you.” Calum says, his arms tightening around Michael’s waist.

“Mmm, we can discuss who gets which sink in the bathroom when we get back from the studio,” Michael smiles as he turns in Calum’s arms, the mug of coffee steaming against their faces between them. 

“Cute that you think you can negotiate getting the left sink from me just because you’re holding my first cup of coffee of the day.” Calum rolls his eyes playfully. 

Michael briefly brushes his lips against Calum’s before passing the mug over. “We can discuss later.”

“You’re a menace.” Calum teases as Michael steps out of his arms. He takes a sip and hums his appreciation at the scorching hot brew. “Okay actually, you can have whatever you want so long as you make exactly this mug of coffee every day for the rest of my life.”

Michael laughs, his left eye dropping into a wink as he turns to walk back toward the stairs. “That’s the idea, Cal.”

Calum feels his own cheeks burn then, at the thought of spending every morning for the rest of forever with Michael, and follows the blonde back up to their bedroom.

[reveriesofawriter]

hey meghna so I have a prompt: “I have absolutely no idea what we’re supposed to be doing.” + "on vacation in nature" with cake?

This went a little... off-course? (bad pun) it’s not quite on vacation but it is in nature, and it’s also not at all what you expected I know for a fact but I hope you like it anyway!!

Calum hadn’t meant to start following a random human. It wasn’t his style, not to mention he wasn’t hungry. But wolfish tendencies aside, something about this particular human was captivating. He was wearing bright red and almost skipping down the path, straying terribly often to pluck wildflowers and weave them into the handle of the wicker basket he was carrying. Every now and then he would tuck a flower into his hair, creating a sort of floral halo above his face. Calum kept checking his instincts, making sure he wasn’t going to switch from watching to hunting, but he really was just taken by this one who couldn’t seem to feel the dangers of the woods. It was as if he didn’t care about the stories of wolves and witches who terrorized anyone who dared tread the path alone. And yet here he was. The sunlight seemed to follow him along the trail through the breaks in the trees above, illuminating his path in a way that he didn’t even seem to notice.

Calum stepped on a branch and heard it crack, and he froze. He knew he was hidden by the brush, but he watched the human pause and turn around slowly, looking around to find the source of the sound before apparently deciding it was nothing, and kept going. Calum, careful to watch his step, kept watching from a distance. The human was rather pretty, and not only because of the flowers. Calum tended to stay away from the village at the edge of the woods, but even so, he would have remembered a face like this. Calum slinked out of the trees and onto the path behind the human, who immediately turned around. He didn’t seem fearful, only curious.

“What’s an innocent, young human like you doing out in the woods all alone?” Calum asked.

“Human? Are you not a human?” he asked. Calum smiled, showing his canines. “You’re a werewolf,” he said simply.

“True. But you’re not scared.” The human raised his chin slightly, showing his resolve. “You never answered my question.”

“I’m on my way to my granny’s house with her favorite buns from the bakery.”

“How sweet,” Calum said, tilting his head. How was this human not scared of him? “Care for some company?”

The human furrowed his brow. “Why?”

“Wouldn’t want to see you getting into any trouble out here by yourself.”

“I know the way, I’m fine.” The human turned on his heel and started to leave. Calum took a step closer, and the human turned back around. “Are you going to follow me?”

“I happen to be going the same way,” Calum said, taking another step. The human was a bit taller than him, and now eyeing him with a perfectly healthy amount of skepticism. “I would hate to see you get hurt. Or hexed.”

“I’ve been to my granny’s house plenty of times. I’ll be fine.” The human continued to walk, and didn’t protest when Calum kept walking alongside him.

“What’s your name?”

“Luke.”

“Well, Luke, I’m sure your granny wouldn’t mind if you had a little extra protection.” Calum watched Luke stop to pick yet another flower to add to his basket.

“I don’t believe in any of the stories. There’s nothing unsafe about these woods.”

“You’re talking to a werewolf.”

“You’re not trying to eat me.”

Well, Luke may have a point there. “That’s just me though. Not that you don’t seem perfectly capable of making it through the woods on your own. Fine young human like yourself, not tempting at all to witches or trolls or even just thieves lurking beyond the trees. As a matter of fact, I have absolutely no idea what we’re supposed to be doing. I might as well leave you alone.” With every passing sentence, Luke seemed to tense up just a little bit more. Calum tried not to smile. He would have been fine leaving the human alone, honestly, but he was far too intrigued by this fearless façade that he couldn’t help but push at it.

“You can come with me if you want, I guess,” Luke said finally.

“You’re a beautiful human traveling on your own.” Calum threw a glance around at any other wolves who might be out hunting. “You never know what’s hiding out there in the woods.”

It won't let me send it in one part so wait for the three pics

fuck marry kill between this michael

Oh, this is easy 😜 

Kill the first one because I hate the rimless hat, even tho the glasses are hot.

Marry the last one and have sex every waking moment with black turtleneck and leather jacket Michael. Also looks like someone who might rearrange my guts, and I’m all down for that.

"But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss // I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs" for the song lyric (is this me being obvious with my taylor obsession again. oops. 💗)

“But i knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss (I knew you’d haunt all of my what-ifs)”

oooookay well. soulmate Lashton AU, I think. they’ve grown up together, spent their whole childhoods together, and get their soulmate marks when they’re around 14-15, but for some reason their parents don’t approve, and end up getting separated. so they reconnect about ten years later and remember each other, and click, and there’s the pain knowing they feel so comfortable with each other and could have had that for ten years

Luke’s very sure it’s him. There’s no doubt in his mind. He looks the same as he did back then, almost, just older. His hair’s dyed now, and he’s grown into himself, into his skin. He isn’t curled forward, or keeping himself stiff, eyes daring anyone to tell him he doesn’t belong. He’s stood straight, comfortable. Well, except for the melancholic nostalgia in his eyes, the same realization in his mind as in Luke’s, that’s surely mirrored on Luke.

Before Ashton can finish whatever apology he can manage, Luke is shaking his head and reaching for his wrist almost unconsciously, seeking the comfort that he’d always given him as a kid. He isn’t expecting the sudden zip up his spine, or the comfort that settles over him like a well-worn childhood blanket. And yeah, he’s definitely not letting go again.

send me a song lyric and I’ll write a summary like it’s a fic title

Flirting Masterlist

a simple equation with no complications (ao3) - cyberpunknct luke/ashton N/R, 12k

Summary: luke ends up tutoring the older boy that can't seem to concentrate for a decent amount of time, but he doesn't really mind it.

Blowing Kisses Like We're Lovers (ao3) - hukelemmings (dafeedil) michael/luke T, 1k

Summary: “You haven’t been in for weeks. You were supposed to come in so I could check your lip.” Michael scolds, and it’s honestly the last thing Luke expected him to say. He misses the flirting, he wants it back.

“Yeah, well, I’m here now. Maybe you can come over here and check it for me.” Luke bites his lip, making sure to run his tongue over the black metal in his lower lip. Michael’s eyes are honed in on the movement, and Luke can’t help but smile, knowing he fascinates the red haired boy like this.

Or, Luke comes back to the tattoo parlor for a new piercing, and Michael is awfully excited to see him.

chasing rubies (ao3) - cyberpunknct luke/ashton T, 32k

Summary: What’s Ashton supposed to do if he ends up sharing the cabin with a cute counselor?

home is wherever you are tonight (ao3) - lifewasradical luke/ashton M, 72k

Summary: Life has become so mundane in the past few years that there’s very little that sends a thrill up Luke’s spine anymore. It’s that idea that had him saying yes to the idea of moving out here for a few weeks anyways: the knowledge that this was a completely new place where no one knew his name. He could be anyone he wanted to be here, within reason. He wouldn’t be seeing any of these people again after May, so what’s the harm in becoming a new person for a bit? Someone not so bogged down by the shit in their head that they can’t get out of bed some mornings. Maybe this is a step in the direction of the person Luke wants to be in the future anyways.

Or, Luke inherits a beach house on a tiny coastal island that needs some work. He didn't plan on falling in love with the guy at the hardware store.

How To Seduce Your Best Friend In 10 Days (ao3) - im_just_a_sucker_for_bromance luke/calum E, 22k

Summary: When you have a crush on somebody for a long time and it gets unbearable: it's about time to do something about it... That's how Luke ended up with a great plan of his own... Or something like that...

i want you (bless my soul) (ao3) - jbhmalum calum/ashton, michael/luke E, 21k

Summary: Thankfully the elevator comes to a stop before Ashton can combust from the blood flowing through his body or say something else awfully embarrassing like “hi, I’m Ashton and I like tall attractive men and it’s hard finding them when you’re already a giant but you’re actually tall and I can’t stop looking at you and you just winked at me and hi, would you marry me and pin me against the wall?”.

- In which Ashton moves in with a guy named Michael, Michael is in love with Luke and annoyed at Calum, and the guy with shaved blue hair from the elevator is too hot for Ashton to know what to do about it.

I Want Your Bite (ao3) - hukelemmings (dafeedil) michael/luke E, 4k

Summary: He reaches out, tracing it with the pads of his fingers. “The shop named after this?”

Michael shrugs, not really an answer, but Luke doesn’t mind the lack of response when Michael rolls over the console, knees splaying out on either side of Luke’s hips, grasping the back of his neck and kissing him into the seat.

Or, they hook up in the car before their first date, and it may or may not be the hottest thing Luke's ever experienced.

Le Chatelier's Principle (ao3) - LyricalPary (hoseoky) luke/ashton, michael/calum E, 54k

Summary: Ever since being promoted to head waiter, Luke had had one problem that came in the form of a six foot, curly-headed, hazel eyed demon. And by demon, he meant his frustratingly stubborn, unfairly attractive co-worker, Ashton Irwin.

Looks Like He Can Surf (ao3) - LyricalPary (hoseoky) luke/ashton E, 174k

Summary: They spend the summer before university in an old beach house. Luke meets the human embodiment of sunshine. Just like the ocean waves, sometimes people are unpredictable.

Make You Banana Pancakes (ao3) - dafeedil michael/luke T, 2k

Summary: It's not that he has, like, a crush on Michael, or whatever. Because he mostly doesn't. It's just that sometimes, when they're all domestic like this on the Saturday mornings they share exclusively, he feels like he does.

(or, Michael has one night stands on Fridays, and in order to avoid confronting them the next morning, he goes to Luke's apartment for breakfast and a bit of conversation.)

Michael's Dirty Diary (ao3) - im_just_a_sucker_for_bromance michael/luke E, 32k

Summary: Why did Luke find somebody's diary? Why did he even want to read it when he knew he should not? The things he was reading were shocking but he could not help but read more, specially since he was involved. Who was that Michael anyway? Luke had to find out.

Mixology (ao3) - dafeedil luke/ashton, michael/calum E, 23k

Summary: In which Michael is reeling from a recent breakup, Calum has just flunked a semester of university, Luke has never taken a risk in his life, and Ashton has taken too many.

One night, four boys, one Los Angeles bar. A recipe for...well, quite possibly, not disaster.

(or, they all meet at a bar and fall hopelessly in love for the night. Only, it's actually a lot more than that.)

Oil and Water (ao3) - dafeedil michael/calum E, 25k

Summary: Calum’s heart sinks a little bit, and he's not entirely sure why. Maybe it's because he's allowed himself to fall victim to Michael's seduction yet again, or maybe it's because he's disappointed in himself for being so willing to try something that could so easily be dangerous. Or maybe, the most likely of all, it's because he can hear Mali's voice in his head telling him how stupid he's been to have found himself—quite literally—backed against the wall like this, with a boy he barely knows whispering dirty promises into his ear when he doesn't even know the first thing about real relationships.

Or, Calum spends a night with the boy that smells like smoke, and as it always is with bad addictions, he keeps getting sucked right back in.

Risky Risqué - @daydadahlias (cornflowerblue (daydadahlias)) luke/ashton, michael/crystal E, 22k

Summary: It's only his freshman year in college and Luke is having too many problems. One, he can barely afford to feed himself. Two, the junior in the dorm next door has way too pretty hazel eyes and keeps offering to make him dinner.

Or, the one where Luke needs a job to pay his tuition and ends up getting one as a phone sex operator.

Something Better (ao3) - notonguexwithbutt michael/luke M, 10k

Summary: "It’s like Luke is trying to say so many things with one look and somehow Michael is understanding them all. Or is he? Because to him it looks like Luke is saying 'push me up against a wall and fuck me' or maybe it’s something more like 'do something, I dare you.' Or maybe Michael’s just really turned on by the sight of his best friend covered in sweat and staring at him with dark, dilated eyes."

Luke gets his wisdom teeth removed and feels quite affectionate and honest in the haze of his anesthesia. Later, he's embarrassed about the things he confessed to Michael, so Michael does what he can to even out the field.

Tech Support (ao3) - LyricalPary (hoseoky) luke/ashton E, 20k

Summary: "So… what’re you wearing, Luke?”

“Um… jeans?” he answers, sounding more than a little confused. “And a blue shirt with the Apple logo on it… it’s the uniform, so.”

Or, Ashton frequently calls tech support just to flirt with the charming voice on the other end.

The Taste of Ink (ao3) - hukelemmings (dafeedil) michael/luke G, 4k

Summary: “S’not funny,” Luke spits.

“S’really fucking funny,” Michael replies effortlessly, wiping dampness from his eyes as he winds himself down, the occasional chuckle wracking his body. “Never had that reaction before. Surely you know people do that, right? Dick piercings are an actual thing.”

Luke rolls his eyes, because duh, he knew those kinds of body modifications existed, he just didn’t sign up for looking at pictures of other people’s penises, thanks.

Or, Luke gets his lip pierced, and Michael is the technician that does it for him.

Under The Mistletoe (ao3) - im_just_a_sucker_for_bromance michael/calum E, 4k

Summary: After sleeping with two of his bandmates, Calum was the only one left out. Michael was stopping at nothing to get Calum in his bed as well. Only Calum was a little bit harder to get than the other two. But hey, he was Michael Clifford and he knew how to turn a no into a yes.

Michael in Easier

[hummingluke]

love please don't cry about this :( the guys have always said that what matters is that they are fulfilled, no matter where that fulfillness comes from, for the band to stay being creative and like. a thing. if anything ashton releasing solo work means that yeah, he's probably more fulfilled creating this rn, and that's okay. that just means that after that he can focus on the band again with a better mindset and happy with something he's done. does that make sense? like i am not worried at all. i think it's one of the best things that could happen to this band tbh. the boys being creative outside of the band just means that for one, they can. and also that they're able to express themselves in other ways, be creative in new ways and then bring all that energy back to the band. i wouldn't worry if i were you 💗 (also i hope i make sense i am tired :'))

yeah it makes sense. and i think you’re right it just proves that they all have so much individual talent and passion. i’m just really not good with change but thank you and also @irwinkitten for helping me calm down and see how this change could be good. i’m still a little scared but now i’m also kinda excited to see what he’s up to. i just hope he doesn’t make us wait too long haha
