See How Fast Till Runs Away From His Date Challenge, Begin! by I_luv_slushiesX9

Summary
This is Till's first date in... a while.
But it's not entirely his fault! Between keeping up with the rent and his various hobbies he's barely had time to visit his mom, never mind find a date.
No one can blame Till if he's just a tad bit out of practice of relationship etiquette, so when the night after meeting Ivan he receives a message from an unknown number claiming to be his "future husband" Till just blocks it like he would with any other scam.
Or: ivantill date where Ivan's a little stalker weirdo and Till's in denial that he loves it.
This is also a sequel to the original fic in this series but every thing will still make sense if u don't read the first two!

Summary
Shoto Todoroki owns a flower shop, that is situated in front of a coffee shop where Hanta Sero and his friends work. Hanta has been crushing on Shoto for a while now, always takes his orders at the coffee shop and watches him from afar, thinking he's far too plain for such a handsome man.
His friends notice his crush and decide to help him win Shoto's heart, which proves to be quite the challenge considering Shoto's overall awkwardness and nonchalance.
Hilarity ensues.

Summary
After Hawkmoth's defeat, Adrien Agreste is left with nothing: No money, no family, no friends, and absolutely no direction in his life. (Having a father that's an international terrorist will do that to you.)
A year later, Adrien has managed to find work in a local coffee shop. He still can't use his real name, but here, he can be invisible and unnoticed, for at least a little bit.
But just before the one year anniversary of Hawkmoth's defeat, everything changes. Again. -

Summary
Bookstore owner Regulus Black knows that his hatred for the coffee shop next door has nothing to do with the stupid puns written on their chalkboard - and everything to do with the annoyingly gorgeous barista who writes them. Cue: passive aggressive signage, rising tensions, and one very inconvenient crush.
Meanwhile, Sirius is trying to support his brother's war...while falling headfirst for one of the enemy baristas.
OR: My take on cheesy 90's rom-coms with enemies-to-lovers Jegulus chaos and star-crossed-lovers Wolfstar as a treat.

Summary
His eyes widen as he takes him in. Mike. He almost couldn’t believe it was him at all.
“Stare a little harder, would you?” Mike said hoarsely, breaking the silence.
“Sorry,” Will breathed, and then shook himself out of… whatever he was doing; ogling, oh god. He was ogling Mike. “I didn’t mean to—you’re just, you look different.”
When Will Byers' powers come to light, Will and Mike are sent on a world-shifting adventure across universes that slowly serve to answer for that yawning chasm of lies and uncertainties between them. It may also, simulataneously, lead them straight to the salvation that they've all been waiting for, for far too long:
Purging their lives of the Upside Down, finally, once and for all.

Summary
Mira watched Jinu carefully from the couch, lips pressed into a thin line. “So, what’s the real story with you and Rumi? You’ve only known her a few weeks, right?”
A smirk spread across Jinu’s face as he shrugged, acting like it was no big deal. “Yeah, about a month.”
Zoey tilted her head, clearly curious. “You two seem like you’ve got some kind of history. Spill.”
Enjoying the game, he gave a cocky grin. “Simple. She fell first, I fell harder.”
Zoey blinked, confused. “That’s it?"
Folding her arms, Mira scoffed. "Liar."Before elaborating, Rumi strolled in, utterly unimpressed, arms crossed.
“Wrong,” came her flat reply. “He tripped me—I wasn’t paying attention. So I pushed him down a ditch.”
Unfazed, Jinu laughed. “See? Truth.”
A flicker of irritation crossed Mira’s eyes. “And you’re fine with that?”
Glancing at Mira and Zoey, Jinu’s smirk deepened, his voice dropping to a teasing murmur. “Why? You jealous?”
Rumi, oblivious to the tension, just rolled her eyes. “You’re such an ass.”
That grin only widened. “Yeah, but I’m *your* ass.”

Summary
There are certain things Tav can count on to never change. Some of those things were simple. The world would keep on spinning. The sun would rise and fall and without fail rise again. Some of them not so much. His mother would never see him as a fully fledged adult, only that same five year old boy she’d pinch and demand respect from. He would bury his friends, find new ones, and likely bury them as well.
Tav knew, right then, with a sense that wasn’t quite foreboding but couldn’t be described as anticipation, that this encounter could change everything.

Summary
Steve Rogers would be the first to tell you he's had it rougher than some but better than most. His job at the coffee shop lets him do his art, work with his best friend, take care of his ma, and ogle the muscular mechanics at the local auto-body shop. His health and his love life could be better, but he's very aware of how lucky he is to have it this good. Oh, and live in Brooklyn. Simple life, simple pleasures.
Is it really so much to ask to be able to get across the street in one piece? Apparently.
Before he knows it, Steve finds himself on a collision course with every hotrod coming out of the lot, with the quiet but hunkalicious new hire at the body shop, and with... well, romance.
