Summary
Do you think it still means something? To love someone, even if the universe said you had to?
The odds of having a soulmate are about negative one billion (or something like that). But somehow, like they always have, Marinette and Chat Noir find themselves together. They’re ready to finally tell each other everything, but it turns out that even soulmates have to keep secrets, and they can only be together if they vow never to touch.

The Many Talks Hunter Gets When He Smartens Up by jellyellie731

Summary
Hunter is not a quiet person.
He rambles, he whistles, he mutters – his mouth is always going. Whether that’s under his breath or out loud is just a roll of the dice, and most of the time, his surroundings get caught in the crossfire of whatever it is he’s fixated on. If that happens to be an empty scout ship, fine. If it happens to be actual, real, living, breathing people? Less so.
Which means that stumbling into this knowledge after a year and a half of friendship is like the time he got clocked in the face by a left hook in training, because how in the fuck is he supposed to go on knowing what he knows – knowing that he’s thoroughly besotted with one of the first friends he’s ever had – and not say anything?
Simple:
He doesn’t.

Summary
Willow exhaled, resting her temple against the glass and closed her eyes. Hunter didn’t believe for a second that she would fall asleep, as her body remained coiled with tension.
“He just...” She whispered. “...wanted to see this world so much.”
Hunter could see it in that smile, in those weary eyes, hear it in her heavy voice.
Willow was absorbing Gus’s burdens to lighten his load. It was quite possible she was doing the same with everyone who surrounded her.
This left her own burdens neglected.
He understood how it felt to devote your entire self to the monsters that plagued the life of someone else. It withered away every fragment of yourself that belonged solely to you.
“Like you wanted to see the rain.” Hunter reminded her.
It must be a little bittersweet for Willow too.
(The kids' first night in Camila Noceda's home. A late night conversation between Hunter and Willow, a pair of insomniacs who aren't very good at talking about how all of this is affecting them.)
