#malex = soulmates

[cdnladykathy]

Sometimes home isn't a place, it's a person. It might have taken 4 years to there, but it was a epic ride and I enjoyed every minute of it.

1x08 I want to destroy the thing you love and I wanna make you watch.

1x09 And what do you wanna say Alex?

That I loved you. And I think that you loved me. For a long time.

Yeah.

1x10 It’s the guy from the museum. The one that kissed you into crazy stupid love when we were kids.

1x12 I don’t love you! I don’t! We’ve been holding on to this thing. And it’s gotten us nowhere. Just let it go.

You’re a miserable liar.

1x13 Alex is in love with him.

1x13 I love him. I probably always will. But lately that love just hurts.

2x06 If you had told me I was gonna have a threesome with my best friend and my first love, I would say “which circle of hell am I in?”

That’s hell?

I don’t know. I felt—

Loved.

Yeah.

2x09 I know that you loved me.

2x10 When we were kids, you believed people were good. Despite humanity doing everything to prove you otherwise. And God, I loved you for it.

2x11 Then I fell in love with your son. And I didn’t feel superior anymore.

3x07 I picked you because I know you fell in love with an alien.

3x09 Love makes you do crazy things. And worst, your greatest fear has been actualized. Your father’s hatred is stronger than your capacity to love.

3x12 So you do love someone as much as you love Nora.

3x13 We can’t walk away from the tough conversations with the people who love us.

3x13 I need you to know, if this goes bad tomorrow, I love yo—

No, don’t say those words. We are going to win this, okay?

Winning is what worries me.

What? Can you explain that?

What if I have to kill my own father? You gonna love me then?

4x02 It’s not his dream.

Yeah, but it’s yours and he loves you.

4x04 I have a boyfriend. And I’m kind of completely in love with him.

4x08 And you wanna make me feel melodramatic when you knew, you knew that the man that I love—

4x08 I know you love Alex too. So that means we are always on the same side.

4x08 But I do know I’m the kind of man who helps save the love of his brother’s life.

4x09 Max jumped into a mindscape after the woman he loves. The least I can do is jump into a sinkhole to save my soulmate.

4x10 After all these years, after everything Alex and I have been through, our love is losing out to a hole in the ground.

4x10 I wanna help my friend find the man that he loves.

4x11 I am so in love with you it’s embarrassing.

I love you, too.

4x12 Does love confuse you, empower you or cloud your path forward? Because what I know of love is that it can do all those things.

4x12 Great love stories can withstand time, distance or hardships. Yours, Malex, has seen it all.

4x12 Long hot shower with the man you love.

4x12 I mean this with all the love in the world. Stop whining.

4x13 Louise managed to find great love. There is no doubt in my mind that Nora would want you to do just the same.

4x13 I’ve done a lot of things over the years that have inadvertently embarrassed the man that I love. But now we’re married, so I’m going to intentionally embarrass you.

Hi! I have binge read your first one shot collection again so get ready for some requests. (My current tv show just disappointed me in the worst way so I need some Malex, Kylex, and Forlex healing via reading your work) I wanted to request a Kylex epilogue for chapter 25. I love how vulnerable Alex let's himself be at the end of the story. Thank you!

@pluckygazelle

Sequel to this fic.

***

Alex and Kyle sat in Kyle’s car, waiting at a stoplight that had long since turned green, but as there was no one else on the road, they felt in no rush to get wherever they were going. The night was officially ruined, and Kyle wished he had some magic words to help Alex feel better, but the memory of Michael’s words, Michael’s eyes on Alex, the anger and plea in Michael’s voice, was beyond any comfort Kyle could give.

It didn’t matter who his actual boyfriend was, Alex’s kryptonite would always be Michael. There was no getting past him.

“Do you want to talk about it?” he offered, and Alex, staring outside the window, merely shook his head.

“Alex,” he sighed, “it’s okay.”

“It’s not,” Alex said. His brows were pinched, his lips pursed. Kyle used to interpret that look as Alex thinking hard, but he’d learned a long time ago to see the remorse alongside Alex’s train of thought, the pain that encompassed it all. It was a complicated feeling only Michael could bring on.

It’s okay, Kyle told himself. You knew what you were getting into. It’s Alex, and Alex is always worth it.

He took Alex’s hand, and kissed his fingers until the tension in his shoulders faded.

Alex finally slumped against his seat and heaved a sigh. “I’m sorry,” he whispered.

“Don’t be sorry.”

“He shouldn’t get to me this much.”

“But he does,” Kyle said simply. “I know. It’s okay,” he repeated.

“It’s not,” Alex repeated as well, turning in his seat to face him. “Kyle, it’s not. Stop making excuses for my . . . my . . .”

“Your what?”

“My weakness,” Alex confessed quietly.

“Are you kidding me?” Kyle asked, turning to face him, too. “Alex, you’re the strongest person I know. Look, I didn’t want to say this, mostly because it’s a real hit to the ego—”

“Don’t break up with me,” Alex said at once, covering Kyle’s hand on his with his own, squeezing hard. “I swear, I won’t—I won’t talk to him again, I won’t go near him again—”

“Whoa, slow down,” Kyle cupped his jaw. “Slow down, baby. I’m not going to break up with you.”

Alex clenched his jaw, eyes glassy and resigned. “What’re you calling it then? Freeing me? Letting me go? Making me happy? I’ve heard it all before.”

“Alex—”

“That’s what you’re going to say, isn’t it?” Alex said. “That Michael and I are cosmic soulmates and should be together, right? That we’re destined for each other and no one else will ever measure up, and any other crap way to tell me who I’m supposed to love and who I’m supposed to be with—”

“Stop.” Kyle slid a hand into his hair, forcing Alex to look at him instead of letting him fade away in front of him, back into his dark thoughts. “I am not abandoning you to some guy that won’t treat you like you deserve.”

Alex’s eyes focused, and his lower lip trembled ever so slightly. Terrified to hope. “What?” he croaked.

Kyle let his hand fall down to the nape of Alex’s neck and massaged the area until Alex stopped looking like a cornered kitten, expecting trouble and both prepared and terrified of fighting it.

“I do think you and Guerin love each other,” he said, and as Alex opened his mouth to argue it, Kyle cut in with, “But I know you love me, too.” Alex clamped his mouth shut, but nodded vigorously, his hand squeezing Kyle’s tighter as he leaned in an inch. The small hopeful gestures made Kyle’s lips quirk. “And yes, I think you and Michael have some kind of cosmic soulmate destiny that keeps you together.”

His expression turned serious as he went on, “But cosmic means jack if he doesn’t show it, Alex, and he doesn’t show it.” He dropped his hand from the nape of Alex’s neck to the small of his back, pulling him. “I show it, and I’ll keep showing it. So yeah, I know about you and Michael, and I know how important he’ll always be to you.”

He kissed Alex’s hand. “But I also know that if we’re ever going to break up, it’s not going to be because of me. I had to say that you love each other out loud because the day you say it is the day we end this. And I don’t know when that time will be—”

Alex was already shaking his head. “It’s not—”

“I don’t know when that day will be,” Kyle insisted, “but I don’t want it to be today. Not now.” He brushed the back of Alex’s hand with his thumb. “Not yet.”

Alex searched his face, somehow able to hear what Kyle wasn’t saying. That he didn’t want to see Alex try to lie to himself. Someday, when the time was right and Michael finally got his head out of his ass, Alex would choose him. Alex would always choose Michael over the world.

And yet, when Alex’s fears settled and he took Kyle’s hand and whispered, “I love you, Kyle,” Kyle took all the comfort he needed in it. For now, Alex loved him. For now, Alex was his. And that was good enough.

He’s worth it, Kyle believed with every cell in his body. These moments will always be worth it.

Marissa’s my number one girl forever and I also feel like Zach’s character, which I enjoyed up until 2x16, got shafted for the sake of comedy, so I’m totally delighted by the concept of Marissa/Zach. Elaborate on them if you can?

He absolutely did, and it's a shame. He's not the most fleshed out guy (are any on this show...) but Michael works so well off of Adam and the way Zach has the potential to pick at Seth's very specific wounds hits me in a way that few Seth-related things do past early s1. They don't do much with it, but I like what we get to see of it. Like Neil taking to Zach immediately at the club. That is so gutting!

I will probably never write it, but I like imagining Marissa falling into Zach post-Johnny or sometime during a college break. Obviously I detest the notion that Marissa is only attracted to chaos or who will piss off her mother. Like theeeee most reductive character writing ever it makes me want to scream. Sure she's attracted to chaos (she is not the only one!!!!) but she's mostly attracted to fishes out of water because that's how she herself feels. However, she also dated Luke for many years, and Luke was that cookie cutter Newport archetype. I like imagining Marissa seeking companionship post-Johnny (she's actually seeking companionship during the Johnny fiasco which says more about her boyfriend/friends than it does her imo but I digress). And I wish s2 would've told us how Zach navigates Newport. He plays water polo AND he's pretty open about his nerdier interests. He's pretty open with his heart to a girl that's only half interested. I think so much could've been said about the status of the Newpsies through him if they'd just put in the effort since they chucked Luke out of town.

I've always wanted to see Marissa paired with a normal bloke. Just good intentions and vibes and nothing for the narrative to tell us she loves chaos and misery or whatever the fuck. Even Alex, though I love Malex, is postured as Marissa pursuing a party lifestyle to directly piss off her mother. It's ridiculous. They are always trying to tell some sort of rubbish story about Marissa's character through her romantic choices and it's maddening. Just let the girl date!

So with Zach I think she'd love his emotional honesty and be charmed at the concerted efforts he puts in to understand her and help her navigate the complexities life always throws her. We don't know a ton about him, but he's the opposite of the intensity she has with Ryan that always bowls her over. Obviously I love RM and I think they end up together in every universe but I do think it would take years and effort on both sides to unravel the shit that happened to them individually and together as teens. So much of the show is them slowly working toward that finish line imo. The whole point is they're supposed to wade through shit to get to the other side of it. And to me, Marissa dating someone like Zach for however long, maybe years, would help get her there. Not to say I want Zach as another cog in the Core Four MachineTM but like... oh well. I also envision Zach having a fun but tense working relationship with Seth over the years. And separately from that I love the idea of Seth being good friends with one of Marissa's boyfriends. It's so warmie. It's why I wrote that into my last fic. Because at the end of the day I also see Seth/Marissa as platonic soulmates, lol.

I’ve been working on three fics lately:

1. A wolfstar fic that’s Remus getting jealous about Sirius as Padfoot playing with Mary. It ends with them confessing their feelings for each other. It’s almost finished, hopefully I can post it soon.

2. Another Marauders fic, Wolfstar and Jily, a soulmate AU. I‘m not very far with it, but the idea wouldn’t leave me alone. I‘m not entirely sure that’s one I’ll actually finish, it seems pretty ambitious and I’m not good with long fics

3. A little scene from Michael‘s POV from my Malex fic “Best Friend’s Boyfriend’s Cousin”. It’s their first meeting. Turns out Michael was kind of horny in that scene 😅

hey bekka, how about 4 and 13 for 'oasis in the stars' and 6 for 'the frat boy and the punk'? <3

Link to Oasis in the Stars for Malex

4: What's your favourite line of dialogue?

Okay so it's more than a line but I love this bit:

“Yeah, but not just the rain, it’s like… it’s like that really specific kind of rain that you get on a summer afternoon, and the sun’s still shining and it’s so light and the rain is warm. And you can look up and there’s not many clouds in the sky, but the rain is still coming down, that smell, sun and rain and just this feeling that… you just can’t help thinking how beautiful the world is that you live in, just for a minute. And you can forget anything else and just, appreciate the beauty of it.”

13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?

I just listened to a playlist I made out of songs from the Roswell NM soundtrack (faves being the covers of Wonderwall and Iris, and would you come home of course).

Link to the Frat Boy and the Punk for malex

6: What makes this fic special or different from all your other fics?

Hmm, that's a good one! I guess maybe I didn't really go down the soulmates track for this fic? It was more opposites attract and just genuinely falling for each other. Plus, this was my first remix and I loved being able to play on another author's work and add more to the story. So that was different and made it a lot of fun !

FYI this fic was based on and set between the two parts of @insidious-intent School Spirits college AU series if you want to check out any of these ☺️

Send me one of my fics and some questions and I'll answer!

[signoraviolettavalery]

Snippets from your WIP sound so good! I also remember that you have mentioned some soulmate and Purple Heart AU - maybe if inspiration strikes, you will back to these one day.

omg funny story. So the Purple Hearts AU. I could've sworn I wrote parts of it down, but I went and looked in my word docs and apparently I wrote a significant portion of it....in my head?? LOLOLOL. Like I had it all worked out, convos and all...but never wrote it down??? Idk what to tell you man. WOOPS.

the soulmate AU is one of my faves, it's actually an anti-soulmate AU in which the universe says Michael should be with Maria but he says "fuck that, I love Alex." I haven't worked on it in a while because a)it's going to be emotionally draining to write and to read and b)I actually haven't figured out what is going to be the emotional beat/scene that makes Alex realize that "wow Michael really means it when he says he loves me and only me." So that one will have to wait until Malex doesn't make me want to bawl. Which might be never??? Idk.

So there you have it. The story of my total ineptitude as a fic writer, not because I'm a bad writer but because I'm just a disaster lolol.
