HARVARD ERA

all our errors on repeat by fuzzy-paint: After Eduardo signs off on the dilution and walks away from Facebook, Mark gradually realizes that he’s stuck in an unstable time loop. Not only does he have to figure out how to stop waking up in his Kirkland dorm room, three years ago, but he has to rebuild Facebook while remembering things that never happened and deal with the fact that Eduardo has known about this all along. Not that it really matters: Eduardo leaves and he leaves and he leaves, every single time. ★★★★★

love and a steady hand by forsanethaec: It’s an accident that Eduardo gets into the habit of scribbling little notes onto Mark’s skin. it’s maybe less of an accident that Mark can’t ever seem to wash them off.

me who makes the monsters by therealw: Girl!Mark just thinks people find her totally repulsive, and she's mostly okay with that. One night however, she drunkenly complains to/asks Eduardo about why no boy has ever wanted her, all angsty and heartbreaking. He disabuses her of her misconception. ★★

completely unacceptable by minor_fifth: (410) He seems like he has feelings, which is completely unacceptable; esp for a boy in college.

wait a minute by ohnvm: Something of the self-induced She's All That transformation variety. Girl!Mark.

red ink poetry by ninhursag: The one where Mark gets Eduardo to hold still, digs out a pen and writes horrible things all over him in English, binary code, Latin, Hebrew, etc, and Eduardo hates it and loves it. And then Mark gets carried away and lays the cards on the table about what he really thinks.

pilea involucrata by fledmusic: Eduardo turns into a plant. Mark learns some things about friendship and plants. ...Or something. ★★★

that nothing can tear by aroceu: In this world, your words are supposed to mark the moment you know you are in love with your soulmate. But Eduardo already has Facebook, has Mark - has long fallen in love with him, now. He doesn't need to feel the words to know it's true. ★★

place between here and the destination by antistar_e: You know what's cooler than one million dollars? Eduardo Saverin, time traveler.

technical debt by thedeadparrot: Mark is trying, and he thinks Eduardo is trying, but their resentments go so deep it feels like their friendship can't go anywhere at all, like there's this huge architectural flaw in their code that they're trying to hack around when they should be trying to go back and rethink everything, like they need to tear it all down so that they can rebuild it all from scratch.

unblock this misery by forsanethaec: One angry email from Singapore to Palo Alto snowballs into something that Eduardo had almost learned to stop hoping for.

trivial pursuits by fairy_tale_echo: But the top two players are always the same: E.S. and M.Z. None of the other players ever rank anywhere near them, it’s always just the two of them: Eduardo in first place and Mark just a few hundred points behind. No matter how long he plays or how well he does, every god-damn day he comes in second to Eduardo. ★★

draw me a map by fairy-tale-echo: The thousands of miles, both literal and figurative, Mark and Eduardo travel and the countless postcards and letters they write over five years as they grow up and towards each other. How do you get yourself back to a place you haven't been yet?

"On the last day of the depositions, Eduardo had thrown the small, worn-looking velvet box at her." | sequel to 'me who makes the monsters.' ★★★

always golden rocks to throw by therealw: Eduardo's plan was pretty much foolproof. He would attend the ceremony, politely converse with the guest sitting on his right during the first half of dinner and the one on his left during the second, just like his mother taught him, then have a glass of champagne and, as soon as Chris and Sean had finished their first dance as a married couple, get the hell out of there. | sequel to 'me who makes the monsters.'

old roads i go down by yellowteddysuit: Where Mark gets amnesia, and all he knows is that he's lost the last 'however many' years, and he's scared; he's got Eduardo's number in his phone, so of course he calls him. Eduardo, who's still angry, tells him what he's missing from those years.

Both of them are wondering how many words it would take to change what happened next.

bugfixes in the redesign by blackeyedgirl: "Were you always this evil or is it a new development?" Mark tries to use his powers for good (or at least for Eduardo's benefit). Eduardo notices him trying.

delays in communicating by blackeyedgirl: Eduardo and Mark are both great at communicating. Just, lately, not with each other. They start sending messages without ever getting around to talking. Chris and Dustin watch and wait.

forgiving what we cannot forget by blackeyedgirl: Because there's nothing like an open wound, Eduardo sends for the deposition statements. He doesn't recognize the people in these pages.

share function by blackeyedgirl: Eduardo knows better now than to sign things without having them checked out by his lawyers first. So apparently what he needs are better lawyers. ★★

teeth in the grass by ninhursag: The one where Eduardo thinks they are in a tragedy with subtitles and pouring rain and his life is so hard, while Mark thinks they are in a romantic comedy and it is awesome. They meet in the middle. ★★★

on the path unwinding by thisissirius: In which Eduardo turns into a cute zoo animal, and Mark comes to a realization that he needs a human Eduardo around to deal with.

write it on the skyline by thisissirius: Chris bullies Mark away from the computer, fights him with words and angry gestures, tells him to get the fuck away from this stuff, I mean it like it’s detrimental to Mark’s health to be trying to find his best friend.

sky that’s always blue by abriata: Or, the one where Eduardo can control the weather, and Mark has to do something about it before Sean gets struck by lightning. ★★★

you only live twice (unless you're facebook. then you live forever) by lawofgravity: After he signs the nondisclosure agreement, Eduardo Saverin disappears off the face of the earth.
