Summary
"The glittering in his eyes as they met hers in the muted light, his arm wrapped all the way around her waist, secure and hot, even through her dress, the beat of his heart that she could feel echoing hers as their chests pressed together. Ted, and everything he was, and meant, and made her.
I'm so ready to be married to you.
The thought landed soundly right in the middle of her heart, with little fanfare and none of the anxiety she would have expected. It felt right, and as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other, twirling slowly, she knew Ted felt it too. "

A 3 + 1 TandyTy fic based on a prompt I got eons ago;
five times Tandy wears The Hoodie to feel better and one time she wears it to make Tyrone feel better. Wink wink nudge nudge (she’s nekkid underneath the hoodie)
I obviously played with it a bit, but dw- Tandy does eventually get nekkid underneath the hoodie ;)

Summary
~~~
She dreamed that her future soulmate was a lion tamer, or a famous dog trainer like she saw on TV. One time she dreamed she'd find her matching soul in a veterinarian- a brave, handsome man who spent his life saving the lives of animals- but that memory was a long way away and deeply buried when she met Ted. And Alexis’ soul mark was covered by a tattoo she’d drunkenly gotten at age 12. That was when she'd realised that actually, the world was anything but a fairytale and she was in it alone.
A soulmate was just another person to let her down.

Summary
“I was just at Evita’s.” He let out, and Tandy had to quash down the gross feeling that crawled up her throat that was totally 100% not jealousy. Because that implied things. Tandy was not jealous of Ty’s girlfriend. She wasn’t.

Summary
“M’okay,” Peter grunts, his face screwed up in pain.
“You’re obviously not okay. Talk to me,” MJ pleads, pulling his hands away. They’re coated in blood, an oozing laceration visible through a rip in his suit.
“Oh my god,” she whispers. “What happened?”
“You should see the other guy,” he mumbles, the ghost of a smirk on his lips.
or: mj pursues her missing memories of peter. they return to her so gradually that she finds herself falling for him all over again.

Summary
Ned shrugs. "But be prepared, man. You can't save everyone."
At the exact same time, MJ and Peter say - "But you have to try."
And both of them freeze.
Peter gives her a look out of the corner of his eye, soft and searching. His mouth quirks up into a half-smile.
Which is rude. She's still trying not to think about him. She's been trying not to think about the way he had cradled her face earlier when he saved her from the wreckage in Manhattan; like she was something precious.
.
(In the year after she finds out he's been wiped from her memory, MJ tries and fails to not fall for Peter Parker again.)

Summary
“Woah,” Will whispers to himself incredulously, laughing a little under his breath as he shuffles through the pages of the letter again. He can’t help but admire the smooth, off-white stationery, its pleasant weight in his hands. A serious-looking “MJW” watermark adorns the top of each page, totally at odds with the entertaining missive and its author’s garbled cursive. Will laughs quietly to himself again. What sixteen-year-old boy on earth has monogrammed stationery?
Michael J. Wheeler, apparently. Where did Max find this guy?
Mike Wheeler is insecure, even by normal teenage standards. So when his friend, Max, connects him with her old friend from California, he's surprised by how easily they get along. But as the weeks wear on, their letters grow increasingly personal, and they make plans to embark on a week-long trip, Mike can't let go of one inconvenient, anxiety-inducing thought: What if he wants to be more than friends?
