One of the only non-ship fanfics I've ever read that made me bawl my eyes out. Definitely a re-read for that nuclear grade angst.

Summary
So Ryland Grace will love Simon until the day he dies.
And Ryland Grace will love Simon in the next life, and the one after that, and all the ones after that.
And Ryland Grace will sit on an empty shore of a dead sea under a forgotten moon and watch Simon live a long, full life; loved and safe and happy and free, trails of ice crystals and moondust left in his wake as he chases the light of thousands of shining stars.
--
Three times Ryland Grace thought he was in love, and the one time when it was true.

This is a diamond of a BloodyMary fic that is Ryland Grace-centric, I have CRIED LIKE A BITCH THE ENTIRE TIME, the character introspection was top notch and I felt every devastating emotion. This is a rec as well because this is a masterpiece!!!!

Summary
Tom Ryder is many incredible things. He's a movie star, a multi-millionaire, he's swimming in drugs and booze, and all the love he could ever want. Or at least, that's what he thinks, until Colt brings his nerdy twin brother around.
Tom Ryder doesn't do feelings. He doesn't do long-term. He doesn't care for romance.
Why doesn't he believe that anymore?
(OR: The long-term journey of self-improvement is hard, miserable, and draining, but it's a journey Tom is willing to take for love. He knows that's sappy. Somewhere in between home-brewed iced coffee and accidental overdoses, he stopped minding being a sap.)

Best Starstruck fic, full of character development and analysis, so many great plot points and just full in emotional rollercoaster!
Asexual Ryland paired with allosexual Tom and how this fic explores this dinamic of both of them falling into romantic love when they never experienced it/only felt lust, is just such delicious food! Best slow burn ever!

Summary
Simon is pretty sure by this point that his soulmate, whoever they are, hates him.
(Or: Soulmates can feel each other's pain. For Grace and Simon, this is less than ideal.)

One of the best (BloodyMary/IronMary) soulmate fics I've ever read, and the ending is top notch
