Summary
Maybe there’s a world where grown men can wear bandanas and skinny jeans and like Gabrielle and be fine, but it’s not Isak’s. In Isak’s world men wear suits and tame their hair and listen to hip hop, or rock, or classical music – he’s pretty sure those are the only options – and it’s comfortable, and Isak knows how it works.
It's a good time to be Isak Valtersen. The up-and-coming Norwegian authority on matters of freedom of press, several Supreme Court wins already on his resume - and still barely thirty. He's carved out a place in the world that he never thought he'd reach, but sometimes that place just feels a little too small and rigid.
Enter Even.

Summary
The diner AU. Even and Yousef open a 1950s American-style restaurant together - Even is the creative genius in the kitchen, Yousef keeps the trains running on time, and Isak, Chris B, and Magnus are all along for the ride. Falling in love over food while Elvis serenades from the jukebox. Welcome to the Throwback Diner.
---
The next couple of minutes are a complete blur of Yousef wishing Isak luck under his breath, then loudly saying goodbye to Even and hurrying out the door, and Even leading Isak to one of the only booths not covered with elements of the remodel, the two of them settling into their seats, Even asking him again if he’d like anything, and Isak, partly because he wants to delay things and partly because his throat now feels like fucking sandpaper, asking for some water. It’s not until he’s completely alone for a moment that he’s able to have a quick, stern talk with himself about calming down and just getting through this. If he can keep his cool for just a few minutes, do his best to ignore Even’s jawline and incredible eyes and, yeah, pretty much everything else about him, he might just come out of this with a job.

Summary
“You do realize you’re acting like a child, right?" Jonas asked. "You’re a grown man in a fight with another grown man because you never learned how to share your toys on the playground.”
Or the one where Even and Jonas are roommates who get along a little too well and Isak is not the least bit jealous about it at all (Except he totally is).

Summary
Isak Valtersen is an isolated, closeted high school student, struggling to breathe under water and unceasingly running from his issues, the truth and himself.
Even Bech Næsheim lives within the shadows, his existence an ultimately dark, loveless tangle of emotional detachment, eternal loneliness and bloodshed.
After a house party brings the two of them together and their lives violently collide, Isak is unable to shake the memory of the beautiful, mysterious and terrifying stranger.
*or the vampire au that no one asked for.
