[eldritchsun]

AHA I'm having feelings but not currently seeing a therapist so tumblr it is sorry folks To put it in terms of the trade, imagine you're reading a tsn fanfic where it's really uncomfortable because Mark is really treating Eduardo like shit. All the usual tsn angst stops. In the end, Mark drops Eduardo, does the dilution thing or any other "I don't have time for you with facebook" thing. Eduardo is hashtag destroyed, obviously in love with Mark despite being treated like shit, but decides that fuck this, he is a Person That Deserves Better. So when Mark wants to restore a friendship where Eduardo could still take care of him, Eduardo is like No, I'm not gonna lamely hang around waiting for u to have an unmet physical or emotional need so I can make it all better, while you think I am a lesser kind of human. And he cuts off all ties (moves to Singapore/NY/etc). Two years later, Eduardo is with a guy who is nothing like Mark, as a matter of fact, a guy that Mark would absolutely despise if they were to ever meet. But what matters is, they are In Love. Eduardo is feeling better than ever, valued and happy, he's found the man of his life, the One. But he still thinks about Mark, from time to time. he thinks about how the whole ordeal hurt him. He thinks about the nasty things Mark said about him, whether they're true or not, if he should try and change these things about himself if he wants to be a better person. He thinks about how he wasn't good enough for Mark, about how much all that mattered to him back then was Mark. He has to consciously remind himself, he's happy now. He loves his current boyfriend who loves him. What he has with his current boyfriend is love, not the weird one sided obsession he had with making Mark happy, right? He's way better off, Eduardo tells himself, so stop dwelling. Here the fic cuts to a Chris POV, at the fb offices, who is going over Mark's public profile page, looking for PR points to raise. He looks at pictures of Mark and his new boyfriend and suddenly he's reminded of Eduardo. He wonders what Eduardo is doing now, if he knows Mark is with someone else, if he even looks for news about them all at Facebook. Then he wonders if Mark ever thinks about Eduardo anymore. The fic ends there, it's a WIP and there's no more chapters. Now what would be the most therapeutic for me? Write the fic with a happy markeduardo ending? Have someone comment that it's normal for Eduardo to look back but that it doesn't mean anything? Do you think that something like what Eduardo felt for Mark, even tho it wasn't mutual, was True Love and Eduardo is just a stereotypical angst character meant to Dwell Forever Unhappily? Should Eduardo go back to therapy? (Yes) Anyway I don't really now what I'm asking but here's what romantic life is rn translated into fanfic bc why not. Catch me next googling "how to forget unhealthy, toxic one sided love"

Mark/Eduardo Rec List

Because Mark remembered the algorithm on the window at Kirkland.

{gif by jandrew-eisenfield}

Canon, Canon-compliant, and Post-Canon:

You Only Live Twice by smiles

After he signs the nondisclosure agreement, Eduardo Saverin disappears from the face of the earth. Because he joins the CIA. He embraces the life of Super Suave Secret Agent Man Eduardo Saverin. That is, until Facebook is threatened by terrorist plots and only Eduardo can save the day.

I COULD WRITE ODES TO THIS FIC. Honestly, this is my favorite TSN fic, and definitely a contender for favorite fic of all time. It's a slow burn that lets Eduardo work through his issues with Mark at a realistic pace that is just so satisfying I could cry. Plus, as with so many other fics in this fandom, it takes such cracky material and makes it so believable you find yourself thinking, "Oh, sure. Why can't Wardo join the CIA?" But it's also hilarious and sexy and adorable and I'm running out of adjectives but rest assured the list goes on.

came out on the other side by oflights

Four times Mark didn’t get Eduardo was asking him out (and one time he got it).

And my other favorite. I've read this I don't know how many times, but it's been an embarrassing amount. It's got misunderstandings, it's adorable, and it's funny. The trifecta.

The Curious Incident of Eduardo in the Nighttime by jibrailis

Eduardo drunkenly tries to break into Mark's house to get back something of his. Mark isn't about to let a challenge go.

Eduardo works through his Mark issues and it is glorious.

scribbles by commen_sense

Mark develops a habit of scribbling code on Eduardo's hands. Until he starts sneaking notes in there too.

Let me tell you about the love I have for people writing on each other. And you cry and Eduardo's skin is soft.

love and a steady hand by forsanethaec

it’s an accident that eduardo gets into the habit of scribbling little notes onto mark’s skin. it’s maybe less of an accident that mark can’t ever seem to wash them off.

And the reverse. Ish.

The Anatomy of an Unfortunate Seduction by anonymous

Where Mark reads a book on seducing techniques so that he can seduce Eduardo.

I genuinely laughed out loud multiple times. I love that this is a reversal of most fics, and Eduardo is the oblivious one (not that he isn't in others, too, but here it's more...I don't know, just read it).

Trivial Pursuits by fairy_tale_echo

But the top two players are always the same: E.S. and M.Z. None of the other players ever rank anywhere near them, it’s always just the two of them: Eduardo in first place and Mark just a few hundred points behind. No matter how long he plays or how well he does, every god-damn day he comes in second to Eduardo.

(or: the one where Mark and Wardo reconnect, learn how to work as a team, and it turns out trivia isn't trivial at all.)

This is just utterly entertaining. I mean, they reconnect trying to take down other people in a battle of wits. Tell me that isn't Mark and Eduardo to the core.

untitled dry orgasms fic by anonymous

It has been six hours and they are on round four.

So, this is how I learned I have an oversensitivity kink. Fun fact.

pieces from my heart by indecentexposed

Mark gets drunk, watches the video of the depositions, and comes to some startling realizations.

Sequel here.

Chris and Dustin make this, but drunk maudlin Mark is adorable too.

Throw Your Back Into It by jibrailis

Sex is not the enemy. Except when it is.

The one where Mark is a slut, Eduardo has performance anxiety, and there are cross-country booty calls.

I've read this a few times, and it gets better with every read. I love how adorable Eduardo is about not keeping up with Mark. And him looking into yoga had me in stitches.

just the memory of your face by hapakitsune

Mark wakes up in bed with a husband he doesn't remember and a life he can't imagine having.

AMNESIA FIC, AW YEAH. I love a good amnesia fic. I love how petulant Mark is. I love how tragic Eduardo is. I love everything this chooses to be.

Line Boyfriends by bloodygoodgirl

Gratuitous wish fulfillment when you're sleeping on a sidewalk for barricade.

Everyone thinks they're dating. Don't touch me.

these things get louder by fledmusic

This started from the hilarious scenario of Mark finding out that everybody, including his mom, thought he and Eduardo were dating.

Sequel here.

So cute. I obviously adore when other people assume they're dating when they're not (see above). And Eduardo's reaction is so sad and lovely when Mark finally confronts him about it.

Cryptography For Beginners by thedeadparrot

A few years after the depositions, Mark sends Eduardo an e-mail. Now Eduardo just needs to figure out what it says.

I love how Eduardo reacts. He wants to not care but he just can't. It's just so in character to me that it's beautiful.

keep the noise low by oflights

eduardo sitting in a chair with his boyfriend in his lap. he has his dick up mark's ass while mark is coding on a laptop. or at least trying to.

And here's the fic where I learned about my orgasm delay kink. So much self-discovery happened in this fandom. It's super hot, and also really sweet in the way that very few fics can manage believably.

mulligan by oflights

in which Eduardo discovers he's kind of an asshole, breaks his own heart a few times, breaks Mark's heart, and then has to fix it.

So lovely. I really like when Eduardo is wary of jumping back into things with Mark, much less starting anything romantic. Ugh. Boys.

Alternate Universe:

Call Me (any, anytime) by aqualined

Tech help AU. (Or the one where Mark learns proper phone etiquette and that you can actually fall in love with the sound of someone's voice—well, maybe if that someone's Eduardo.)

I LOVE THIS FIC. It's the best call center au ever written, hands down. It's funny and heartbreaking and you just kind of want to smush Mark's face against Wardo's and say, "Yes! This is good! Do this!"

Let the Future In by abriata

Mark thinks a good rule for life would be to avoid being best friends with the child of your mother's best friend. He and Eduardo have no secrets.

I love every single thing about this fic, but I especially adore how they make up after their one major fight. Plus, moms being bros. Heart eyes.

sweet on you by moogle62

BAKERY AU. Mark is Mark, Eduardo owns a bakery/café near the Facebook offices. Mark does not have time to have a thing for him, but he totally, totally does. Sadly for Mark's continued enjoyment of a harassment-free existence, Dustin is still Dustin and is entirely devoted to his causes of a) getting Mark laid, b) acquiring all the gossip, and c) acquiring all the baked goods he can. Featuring novelty shaped cookies, frosting in places frosting should never be, and ~feelings~.

This was my very first Bakery AU. I now have an obsession with Bakery AUs. It is entirely because of this one. Totally opened my eyes to a beautiful subgenre of fic. Also, when Mark makes Wardo quote a recipe while he's getting off? To this day one of the hottest scenes I have ever read.

because i don't like heights by hapakitsune

Written for the prompt, Eduardo is a wealthy businessman/investor. Mark is the teenage son of one of his clients. Bonus points for size kink and Mark being a snarky bitch.

I love age differences. So very much. And Wardo is just so sweet. And Mark is the bossiest bottom and I love it.

oriented towards the other by hapakitsune

Mark's empathy has been blocked off for years, for his own safety as well as comfort. But if he wants to win Eduardo back, he's going to have to embrace his ability and re-learn how to live with other people.

The scene where Mark figures out Wardo's feelings (and his feelings about Eduardo) haunts me to this day. One of my favorite scenes in any fic.

From Cover to Cover by abriata

Mark is a famous novelist and Eduardo is his agent.

I think about this fic so much. Definitely one of my favorites. Eduardo's struggle with not falling for Mark (well, not doing anything about it, at least) is so slow and beautiful. It just feels so real. Plus, this rec is a little self-indulgent because I want to be an editor someday and it's nice to read stories about editors falling in love. I know what I'm about.

Best Practices in Workplace Relationships by BlackEyedGirl

Written for a prompt at the kinkmeme: They meet when Mark's already a billionaire and Eduardo is his new personal assistant.

I have a thing for boss/assistant relationships. It's not healthy, but there it is.

superconnected by oflights

Based on this prompt at the kink meme; Eduardo and Mark share excruciating, debilitating headaches that force them to be in close contact, after years of avoidance.

The first soul-bond fic I ever read. (I have an embarrassingly huge thing for soul bonds.) There's clothes-sharing and misunderstandings too. It's like someone took all my favorite aspects of fanfiction and threw them into a blender and this delicious smoothie of a fic came out.

Pilea involucrata by fledmusic

Eduardo turns into a plant. Mark learns some things about friendship and plants. ...Or something.

Okay, but Wardo turns into a plant and is somehow still in character. I mean, I am in awe of the level of writing in this fandom. It's cracky and funny and so well-written that it makes me want to give up writing forever because I'll never reach that level of fantastic.

Relationship Status: It was always about you by jeyhawk

College AU. The one where Eduardo works at the campus coffee shop and Mark doesn't understand the concept of love at first sight. Coffee, code, Facebook and love (not necessarily in that order).

At one point, Mark helps a customer because Eduardo fell asleep on the job and he didn't want to wake him. This scene alone is the cause for most of my tears.

How to Make a Second Chance by BlackEyedGirl

Mark goes to sleep in Palo Alto in 2007, and wakes up in Harvard in 2004. Meanwhile, Eduardo is in Palo Alto dealing with a Mark who seems to have forgotten more than just today's shareholder meeting. Both of them are wondering how many words it would take to change what happened next.

I love how Mark gets a second chance to look at past situations with a critical eye. It's like a fantasy take on watching the depositions and realizing Eduardo loved Mark. It's lovely.

The Principle of It by abriata

Wherein Eduardo is going to hell and Mark gets beat up a lot.

So. Hot. Also a teacher/student AU which I can never resist.

Hoodie Strings (i want to chew on your) by jeyhawk

College AU. Wardo is nineteen and a virgin cartoon animal, and Mark is a pervert.

I'm a sucker for College AUs. And Wardo is so adorable in this it almost physically hurts.

Shaped Like a Question Mark by jibrailis

Librarian AU! Where Eduardo is a children's librarian and Mark is an information specialist brought in to revamp the catalogue. And along the way there are books! misunderstandings! online reference! romance!

Wardo works really well with kids. If that isn't enough to make you click on the link immediately, then I don't know what you're doing with your life. Also Mark is adorably awkward and sweet in his own way, which I love.

Point of Origin (and part two) by anonymous

Eduardo wakes up one day in Zombieland; apparently he has one friend. Columbus looks like Mark but he is definitely not Mark. Things happen, they fight, get scared but ultimately they end up ~sleeping together. It all gets hot and heavy -and then Eduardo wakes up again, back in the real world. Everytime he sees Mark it's hard to disconnect him from Columbus and Eduardo finds himself wishing he was back in Zombieland.

This has a ridiculous plot, but it sucks you in like no other. I spent a couple sleepless nights devouring this because I just had to see where it was going. It's really addicting. And works way better than you would think.

the fuse is burning by longtime_lurker

In which the Palo Alto rainstorm-hallway scene takes a canon-divergent twist in the form of sex pollen/pon farr/choose your favorite fuck-or-die excuse for a ludicrous amount of idficcy porn.

Hot like burning (you see what I did there?). Seriously, this is one of the hottest fics I've ever read. And it takes place in the infamous hallway of doom in the Paolo Alto house, so anything that makes that scene not break my heart is a-ok in my book.

And everything nice by noelia_g

Written for kink meme, reposted. Prompt: The one where Mark somehow ends up with a child and of course needs a nanny for the amount of time he spends at the office. Only problem is a string of nannys keep trying to get into his pants for what he assumes is his money. Cue Mark's assistant hiring a male nanny, enter Eduardo.

“Jesus, Mark. You make me hire a male nanny so he doesn’t hit on you, and then you want him to hit on you?” So good. I also love how they both put an emphasis on keeping Mark's daughter comfortable regardless of their relationship.

No Child of Mine by ninhursag

The ridiculously angsty hookerfic of doom. From the kinkmeme prompt So, Eduardo's father always figured his son was useless. But he is nice to look at and there's some good in that. Cue the idea that he can use Eduardo as a 'sweetener' to close some tricky business deals. He's been doing just this for years when it comes time to close a particularly tricky deal...

Forced prostitution, revenge, drama, chases/stalking across Europe and Asia, inappropriate humor, lots of angst, socially maladaptive behavior, and eventually, a happy ending.

AAAANGST. So much of the angst. In the best possible way. I just love how Mark reacts to it all. He's so patient and it's just really lovely. The ending is what sold me on it, and made it stick with me all this time.

Table of Prompts Prompt Five: Loved

He knew he would go to the ends of the earth for his best friend, even if that same best friend would barely go across campus for him. He knew he would give his life, his heart, his soul for him. He didn't think mark was willing to part with any of his. Sometimes he wondered if Mark felt anything for him. Other times he wondered if he could feel anything at all.

He knew he wanted nothing more than to run his hands through Mark's hair, to lay beside him and tell him everything that crossed his mind. He knew he wanted Mark to listen to everything he had to say, to whisper words of encouragement and love until they fell asleep wrapped up in one another. He knew he would never share these thoughts with anyone.

He knew that Mark made him angry. So angry that he wanted to throw his friend against the wall and demand attention. Demand he admit that Facebook would be nothing without Eduardo. That Mark would be nothing without Eduardo. He wanted to slam his lips against Mark's until he understood how much he fucking cared for him no matter how hard he tried not to.

Most of the time Mark made Eduardo wish he couldn't feel anything at all. But once in a while Mark would do something, say something, look at him in a way that made him feel utterly important. Every once in a while Mark made him feel loved.

SysRq

A collection of five drabbles centered on Mark and Eduardo of The Social Network. AO3 mirror here! -----

An arrow that splits is an arrow unneeded Don’t slow down. It’s a rule Mark is determined to live by; when you slow down, you mess up - even worse, you don’t mess up at all. But if you move fast, and break things, you have just as much of a chance to fix them. In most situations. He’s seen it in Eduardo, the aftermath of slowing down. It leaves Mark unhappy, and while he wishes he could say it’s the sight of his friend under such duress that makes him feel this way, as would be the case for any good friend, it turns out Mark is not the greatest friend. Instead of that very human empathy, the “your pain is my pain”, he gets a near-unbearable irritation for several reasons. One, because Eduardo brought this on himself, through the way he feels, absorbs responsibility, and lets his own childishness shine through when he can’t deal with things anymore. Two, because this affects everyone around him, and hinders their ability to manage anything involving Eduardo without kid gloves. Three, because as general productivity and adult conversation lessens, Mark grows frustrated; his frustration stems from both his own inability and inactivity - Eduardo would probably react strongly to an offer from Mark, be it positively (accepting his help) or negatively (pushing Mark back, so far away - saying there’s “nothing he can do”). Either way, Mark’s own failure to react in time to Eduardo’s needs is usually the end of these things. The thing about Mark’s rule, “don’t slow down,” is that you don’t slow down. He can’t. Not for himself, not for Eduardo. Especially not for Eduardo. But it works out; Mark takes off ahead, always at a run, and when he looks back - the few times he does, the few he allows himself - Eduardo is there. And Mark would be lying if he claimed after the first time, he began to expect the pleasant surprises. He never turned around. But it was alright, as long as he didn’t stop, and Eduardo kept following; and Mark stopped looking back - each glance made him more nervous, and while that shadow of himself, of Eduardo, trailing in his footsteps, gave him a greater sense of security than it ever should have, facing forward did not delay the problem, only the reaction. But it works out, and it worked out; it worked out until Mark turned back and Eduardo wasn’t there. It worked out, until it didn’t anymore. And from there, Mark drove it into the ground. From there, Eduardo stopped trying to keep up, because he just couldn’t, anymore. - Move fast. Break things. And sometimes, stop to fix them - if you can. But only when there’s really no other way. Or else you’re just caring too much. Is he caring too much? - But if he slows down, and can’t keep up-- Well, there’s just no point, anymore.

Question the Sun Do feelings die? Eduardo is learning the answer - or answers, especially ones that contradict. The key, theoretically, to killing a feeling, is distance. Creating a distance severs that bond, that attachment-- That vein of unbidden emotion that Eduardo can live without. Feelings are hot, and warm, and burn as long as you let them, but they do not die. They are not rekindled. There is a science. In people, and emotion - it’s all within the brain, part of a science, some great plan. Eduardo is a scientist, but one with finities, finalities; Eduardo is a scientist, but one without closure. And he knows his own feelings, until they change-- Gradually, and then suddenly. - He understands it a little more when he sees Mark again, for the first time. In fact he understands it so well, he loses some understanding of himself. He’s drawn, and itches to gravitate, if only out of habit. Maybe he should be ashamed - a year, a life built on being Mark’s satellite. Eduardo begins to hate - not Mark, no; Eduardo begins to hate how he can’t hate him, ever, ever. - Mark leans into him, and Eduardo’s grasping at straws. You don’t hate me. No, he chokes. But I tried. Mark is silent then, tenses, then shakes it away. At least you did that, he concedes, after a long while. - Eduardo looks on, like maybe this isn’t real, none of it, if only out of habit. (During the deposition glass walls valley larger than his life could afford hoodie strings Beck’s beer losing breath to the wind) Mark has to remind him, quietly, wordlessly: I saw you, thinking, waiting, thinking. I heard you.

Stop Still Eduardo dreams in daylight. These dreams are not clear of shade and shadow; sometimes he sees an absolute nothing, it’s so dark - but he can feel the presence of a floating warmth, long as it lasts, long as he remembers. Sometimes he thinks of Mark. He is not dreaming of him, per se - rather he is invaded, hacked into - in his head, his mind. Again, he’s lost control. If he had it at all. He doesn’t know exactly when “you never asked” became invalid. - Mark hears the rain come before he sees it. First timid patters against the glass, begging permission; he completely misses their transformation into savage, haphazard bullet rounds, scattering amidst the closing sky, frustrated by Mark’s lack of response. He bears through, keys clacking at the same sinister rhythm. Not now, he tells the rain. I’m locked in. - There were plenty of occasions in which Eduardo had asked for Mark’s clarification on things: (Wardo, I need you. Wardo, we did it. Wardo, you’ll get left behind.) The last answer was one he waited for, but rejected both inside and out. Even after, even now, he is small. - (Don’t tell him I said that.) It was a small thing - the words, his voice - and Mark could feel himself collapsing beneath it, going quietly, horribly unnoticed. Who was left to notice now, really? And even then, Mark felt him - dragging them down, holding a high bar, dangling a prize in front of their noses. But he wouldn’t shut him out, and even then, he asked of his Chief Financial Officer: Don’t tell him I need you here with me. - Eduardo defined a broken heart as this: loving someone you can’t trust, anymore. Mark describes the wound inside like so: empty, and unimpressive, and numb until he feels it sigh. They can’t promise things will be the same, but broken pieces yearn - and love - to come together. They’re mending, and building, something incredible, something brilliant.

mousepad, mousetrap Mark is not a robot. Dustin knows this. Eduardo knows this. Most obviously, Mark knows this, but he lets people believe he is one. Mark can feel, just like anyone else. He just doesn’t know what to do with that, most of the time. So he feels. He’s laughed, he’s cried. He’s burned another, and burned himself. Best of all, he’s wanted. He has wanted things, and he’s a little wanted, maybe. - Eduardo has wanted. He has ached, he has hurt, and he has known the loss that comes with wanting something so desperately. Eduardo knows what wanting feels like. It’s only working for what he wants that is so unfamiliar he could die. So he wants, and waits, silent. He knows things won't just come, if he waits for movement, but he hopes. He feels like anything he’s worked for, he never wanted, maybe. - They learn a little, in their time apart. Mark gives names to his thoughts, and thoughts to his voice, again. Eduardo chooses to want, and to work, and to fight for himself, again. And they hope with all they have that they’re changed - Not too much, not too little, but enough - enough to fight.

[starlightiing]

Can someone help me? I read a fic a while back and I can't find it now. The only thing I remember about it was that Eduardo kept dying. Like a million times. And Mark had the opportunity to "start over" to try and save him.

Can someone point me in that direction? Thanks.

[no-literally]

Eduardo had tried the psychiatrist thing, during the depositions and right after. He hadn’t liked it—he spent a lot of time babbling uselessly about all the ways he could improve his life, while she just nodded and asked him intrusive questions about his relationship with Mark. It hadn’t lasted long.

Superconnected by oflights

Mark and Eduardo are brought together because they have horrible headaches that can only be cured by proximity. (Of course!) It's totally tropeville, but in a wonderful wonderful way.
