All of the Stars | TFIOS

Title: All of the Stars

Requested: Yes/No

Summary: The stars will always connect Gus and Hazel to each other

A/N: This is my first ever TFIOS fanfic. I am not very confident about the quality of this one 😅. It is a song fic based on the song “All of the Stars” by Ed Sheeran. I hope you enjoy this fic and feedback is welcome!

It was just another night. Hazel looked out of the window and stared at the moon. She saw a shooting star glide through the horizon, and she immediately thought about the love of her life: Augustus Waters.

At that moment, a small ping came from her phone, signaling that she had a text message. Picking it up, her eyes lit up at the name: Gus💕

A smile grew on her lips as she read over his text:

I am sitting by the lake at the park, when I saw the shooting star - I thought about you.

While Hazel was typing out her reply, another text came from Gus.

I’m listening to a slow song. If you were here, I’d sing it to you.

And another came:

Meet me in the park?

Hazel didn’t need to think about it as she immediately typed out and sent her reply,

I’ll be there in 10 minutes.

Hazel immediately detached herself from the BICAP and hooked herself up to the oxygen tank.

She headed down to the living room where her mom and dad were watching tv.

“I’ll be going to the park for a bit.” Hazel said, so that her parents wouldn’t have to worry, “I’ll be Augustus Waters.”

Her parents nodded as her mother gave her a smile, “Okay sweetie, take care.”

Hazel made her way to the park, making short stops from time to time to catch her breath. But, even if Augustus Waters was on the other side of the skyline when it splits in two - nothing could stop her from seeing the stars with him.

He saw her back turned to her as he sat down on the grass, she plopped down next to him. Leaning against him as she tried to catch her breath.

“You know I could’ve picked you up.” Augustus said, gently running his hand up and down her back.

“I’m fine.” Hazel insisted, “Exercise fights cancer.”

He chuckled, “Yet nothing seems to fight Hazel Grace’s need to be by my side to watch the stars.”

“And tell me, why should I deny myself the simple pleasure of watching the stars with you?” Hazel asked, playfully rolling her eyes.

Augustus chuckled, “I have taught you well Hazel Grace Lancaster.”

At that peaceful moment, their horizons met and blended into one. All of the lights led to a night with each other.

The scars they would leave would someday bleed with the possibility of one (or both) of them being the grenade.

But that didn’t matter right now.

What mattered was that they were together.

Both of their hearts believed that all of the stars would guide them home - to each other.

Augustus looked at the girl in his arms with an adoring smile, “Okay?”

Hazel looked up to meet his blue eyes, “Okay.”

—

“I can’t believe we’re tasting the stars.” Hazel mused, taking another sip from her glass of champagne.

“The stars taste splendid. Don’t they?” Augustus agreed with a small smile.

She smiled, “Who knew that the sparkling gems in the sky would taste so fine.”

The boy who sat across her chuckled, “Metaphors. I have thought you well my Hazel Grace.”

The couple took a walk through the streets of Amsterdam, taking in their surroundings before opting to sit on a bench - so that Hazel’s lungs wouldn’t give her such a hard time.

They could hear some music coming from a nearby stereo, it was faint but they could still understand the lyrics.

“I can hear your heart on the radio beat.” Augustus said, interlocking his hands with Hazel’s.

She looked up, trying to suppress a smile, “You are made of so many metaphors.”

He smiled as they sat in silence while “Chasing Cars” were playing in the background.

As if their minds were in sync, they both thought back to the time they were lying next to each other by the Funky Bones Structure.

That time when they looked across to meet each other’s eyes and fell in love.

“The stars are beautiful, aren’t they?” Augustus mused, breathing in the scent of Hazel’s shampoo

“They are. But, millions and millions of tragedies are hidden amongst them.” Hazel replied, giving a small smile.

“And we are one of those tragedies.” He said.

Hazel chucked and turned her head to look at him, “Who are you and want have you done to Augustus Waters? The Gus I know loves metaphors but I never knew that he was so philosophical.”

Gus laughed, turning his head to meet her brown eyes, “You have that effect on me Hazel Grace.”

They didn’t say anything. Just staring deeply into each others’ eyes.

At that moment, two worlds melted into one.

Blue met brown.

Two hearts become one.

“I love you Hazel Grace.”

“I love you too, Augustus Waters.”

Gus took Hazel’s hand and they walked through lamp-lit streets of Amsterdam.

That’s when they knew - everything led back to each other. No matter what happened.

For Gus, everything led back to Hazel.

For Hazel, everything led back to Gus.

The boy looked up at the night sky, “Do you think that the stars we see over Amsterdam are the exact same ones we see over Indianapolis?”

Hazel shrugged, “I don’t know. All I know is that you’re the song my heart is beating to.”

The couple are aware of the scars that would bleed someday.

But, their hearts believe that all of these stars will guide them home.

Home is where the heart is.

So, for Hazel - home is where Augustus Waters is.

i actually LOVE pink haha but i agree about the pink/green combo! makes you think of magic and potions and all that stuff~ and green with blue makes me think of summer... sitting on the park bench, looking at the trees and the sky...oh, how i wish that winter could end soon 😔

‪are you telling me I’m going to hear Charlie XCX sing Boom Clap from TFIOS just 3 days before I leave for Amsterdam to see the TFIOS bench‬

[theaterkid821]

Watching and Waiting (Soulmate AU) (Michael Mell x Reader)

A/N: i’m giving you and your emotions a fair warning now; this is what happens when i’m not in the best mood and am bored...i get evil. anyway, here’s a new fic. it’s kind of TFIOS-ish. hope you enjoy and requests are open. love you all!

Masterlist

Request: “Can you do 6 and 7 w/ Michael Mell??”

6. Am i dead?

7. am i supposed to be impressed?

TW: death, cancer, i think a curse word, angst, afterlife, emotional hurdle

You honestly would have rather never met him then put him through this torture. Since you were a baby, the name “Michael” has been imprinted on the back of your hand. You would have ignored the boy in the red sweatshirt walking towards the hospital but he stopped you in the middle of the path.

“A-are you (Y/N)?”

“Yeah, why?”

He holds up his hand with your name on it, “I saw you had Michael on your hand and I thought, you know… might as well give it a shot.”

You smile for a moment but curse yourself for complying. This would make things so much worse.

“So what are you doing at the hospital?”

You sit on the bench next to him, “just… a blood test is all.” It wasn’t a total lie but it wasn’t the total truth.

“Oh cool.”

“I’m sorry, I’m ususally more talkitave I’m just a bit tired and woozy, I should go.”

“Wait, can I get your number? So that I can stay in touch with you?”

“Sure” you take his phone. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO YOURSELF AND TO HIM!?!?

.         .         .

Since that day, you and him spoke on the phone every day. You couldn’t find it in your heart to tell him though. But the day had to come.

“Hey, Michael? I can’t talk tomorrow night at our usual time. I have a…meeting at the hospital.”

“Oh, are you a volunteer there or something?”

“Not exactly…” “You want me to come?”

“No!” you said rather forcefuly, “I mean, I don’t want you to go through so much trouble for me.”

“It’s nothing, but you’re sure you don’t want me to come?”

“Yeah, I’ll see you on Saturday?”

“Of course. See you then.”

.         .         .

You remember the day you found out like it was yesterday. What started off as a simple headache turned into multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation, and anything else they could do to try and stop the cancer from spreading. It’s been almost three years and the big issue; it’s not getting any better. They didn’t say how long, but you didn’t think you had much time left.

That’s why you didn’t want to meet him, you didn’t want to put this pain on him. But of course, the universe decided to be cruel to the both you.

“Alright (Y/N), ready for your chemo treatment?” the nurse said. The IV all set up and you offer her your arm.

“As ready as I’ll ever be.” You flinch a bit as the needle enters into your skin. It pinched for a moment, but you didn’t feel it much anymore. You lean back in the chair and sigh, trying to relax as much as you could before the nausea kicked in.

Then the sound of someone rushing out of the elevator forced you out of your thoughts. You hear a voice at the reception desk ask for you. Shit. Of course he came.

You look out the window, not looking in that direction. The chair you were sitting in wasn’t in full view, but if he was really looking, he’d see you. Soon enough, those same footsteps run over to your area. You look over at him and he was kneeling beside you, he looked so hurt with a tinge of anger.

“How did you even find me?”

“I wanted to surprise you and when I asked around they said you’d be here.” “Am I supposed to impressed?” you sigh, “I didn’t want you to find out this way.”

“I did. Why didn’t tell me? I mean, you could said something and I would’ve been here for you instead of searching every crook and crevice of this damn hospital to find you!” “Michael hand me the bin.”

“I mean, I’m your soulmate! Your supposed to tell me these things!”

“Michael, the bin.”

“I can’t read your mind (Y/N), were you just never gonna tell me!?”

“Michael Mell, unless you want to have to clean my lunch off of your sweatshirt, hand me the bin next to you now.”

He quickly obliged and waited patiently for you to be done. You put it on the other side of you and wipe away the sweat on your forehead.

You lean back in the chair and sigh, “I didn’t tell you because I didn’t tell you how. I mean I met you two weeks ago. How am I supposed to say, ‘hey just so you know, I’m dying from brain cancer and the doctors think I only have a couple months to live.’ It just isn’t said… I was terrified the day we met honestly. I didn’t want to pull you into this mess.”

He wipes the hair from your face and squeezes your hand, “(Y/N), I want to help you. I don’t care if never see you for the rest of my life I just want to spend as much time as I can with you. If that means keeping you company here, then I’ll be here. I’ll do anything.”

.         .         .

And he did. For two months, he stayed by your side and kept you company. Despite your past thoughts, it was better to have him there than not. But those two months could only last so long. The night it happened, you watched his heart shatter right in front of you.

You’ve watched over him seeing his every memory, smile, laugh, and big moment in his life. You teared when you saw him adopt a baby and name it (Y/N). All the while you waited, waited for him to come to you.

On the day that his granddaughter was born, he had a heart attack that was too much for his body to handle at that age. You practically ran to the entrance where he’d pop up and there he was. The sixteen year old boy you fell in love with almost 70 years ago; your soulmate.

He quickly woke up and you sat beside him smiling. He looked at you in pure shock, even more so when he realized he looked like a teenager again.

“Am I dead?”

You nod and help him up, “I’ve missed you.”

“I’ve missed you too,” he encases you in bear hug and you happily hug him back.

“I’ve always been here. Watching over you and trying to help.”

He smiles and kisses your forehead.

“Come on, we have places to be and an eternity to spend.”
