This wonderful story is free online fiction.
The main characters are Vaan ("Pronounced just like "Vaughn", except without all the extra fancy g's and h's and other shit people tack on to nearly every word of the English language.") with his purple hair and piercings who says it like it is and Saul, wheelchair-bound and just starting college.
With one meeting a friendship blossoms between these two young men, Vaan later declaring them "platonic soul-mates".
Told in alternating POVs, this story is full of humour and honesty as Vaan and Saul gradually come to realise their feelings go beyond more than friendship.
4.5 stars.

This is a free online story (and I'm glad I didn't find it until it was basically complete as waiting would have been tough!) The author says there will be an epilogue someday, but it isn't necessary to enjoy this very engaging story of two young college guys finding the one person who is their complement and their match in mind, then in spirit, and finally in body and heart. A wonderful out-for-you story with a very, very slow burn. One MC is wheelchair-bound but there is a very nice balance between matter-of-fact limitations and angst here. The sex is limited (although the tension is hot) and this would be a good read for older teens as well as adults. Told in alternating first person, this story has two very well-rounded main characters, some fun, some sweetness, some low-key angst and a HFN ending. Highly recommended.
EDIT: The epilogue is now there, and completes the story with a few pages of HFN - lovely but just a last layer on the wonderful heart of the story that comes before it.
