    Summary

    Steve Rogers does not do things like this. He does not wander down to the abandoned piers at the end of Christopher St. in the night, looking for anonymous men to pick up. He is an outstanding son and citizen, taking care of his mother with the funding he gets from his proper job on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and thinking of himself absolutely last. He does the right thing. He has to. He has to. He has a vice grip on his life that just might be starting to come loose.

    Bucky Barnes does do things like this, often. He drifts in and out of cities, looking for whatever work he can find and whatever men will have him. Back in Indiana, he was kicked out by his family after being booted out of the closet and has only, years later, found himself in the seedier parts of New York City, embraced by a brotherhood of gay men who are deeply passionate about their motorcycles. His life isn't pretty, nor what he pictured as a boy, but it's his and no one can take it from him.

    When these men crash together in the New York City of 1970, what kind of trouble will they get into? How long will it last, as different as they are?

    Summary

    “Look, I’m just asking, okay? Not– I don't mean anything by it. But, uh.” His eyes darted back and forth, then he leaned in close to Steve. Steve had gotten used to that, kind of. The guy had no concept of personal space. “Are you flagging?” Eddie finally finished.

    Steve shook his head slowly, eyes narrowed. He had no idea what that meant. He had no answer. “What?”

    Eddie leaned away from Steve, facing forward again and nodding. “Okay, got it. That answers my question. Carry on.”

    -------------------------------------------------

    A (mostly) innocent question leads Steve Harrington on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, sex, and romance.

    Summary

    “That one’s all yours,” she replies sharply. “Just listen to me.”

    She turns away, back to her chair as if the matter is already settled. He supposes from her perspective it is. Whatever.

    He studies the line she’d tapped.

    V.R. - Boots only. Do a good job and we’ll see about the rest soon. Text when ready.”

    Underneath, scrawled in neat little characters, is a phone number.

    Weird.

    Well. It’s not nearly the weirdest note he’s received on one of these sign in sheets. That honor goes to “Give it the type of shine you would plan to polish my asshole with tonight.” It was his first year bootblacking.

    Summary

    He can’t breathe.

    The tail yanks, and suddenly his back is slamming into the hard ground, the impact detonating every wound. He feels it all, and it’s agony. Ripping, shredding. The worst pain he’s ever known.

    His heart stutters and kicks in his chest as his mind screams at him to get back up, to run, to do anything to survive; but he can’t. He’s pinned down, spread eagle on the dead ground, a storm of wings and teeth closing in.

    Red lightning flashes above him, bathing everything in crimson, reminding him that he is in literal Hell.

    He’s being eaten alive, and all he can think as the pain starts to blur is, I’m not ready.

    Please. Not like this. Not now.

    Please.

    And then, from somewhere above all the madness that has become Eddie’s entire existence, a shape plunges into the wild fray. A human shape. An avenging angel, wielding a weathered baseball bat filled with bloody nails like it's a prayer in the dark.

    An answer to his silent plea.

    Steve.

     
    OR:
     

    Eddie Munson survives the bats.

    Steve Harrington helps him learn to live again.

    Summary

    Ghost’s chuckle in response was telling, lacking any distinct warmth. “Not quite. As much as I appreciate you fixing my dress shoes, what I really want is a bit more… intimate. It means something different to me.”

    “Intimate how?” The way he bites his lip and looks up pleading for more context should be illegal. It’s downright unfair how pretty he looks in this vulnerable liminal space.

    “You were raised Catholic, weren’t you?” Soap’s not expecting a question in response to his own, let alone one so out of left field, and Ghost can sense the indignation forming on his lips before he even responds, so he moves before the bratting can begin in earnest. A firm hand pushes down on Soap’s shoulder and despite his confusion he allows it to lead him down onto his knees. Ghost doesn’t remove the hand, but does lift one boot and rests it on Soap’s firm thigh. “It's worship, Johnny.”
    ________________

    Or, the one where Soap accidentally stumbles into Ghost's leather fetish and gets in a bit over his head.

    Summary

    “You know,” Steve focused his attention back to Eddie as he spoke. “There is a way to help break you away from the whole ‘King’ thing. If you wanted to,” He finished, raising his eyebrows up at the other.

    Steve gave him a dubious look, not entirely trusting the look on his face.

    “If you started hangin’ around the school freaks I don't think anybody would doubt that you’ve changed,” Eddie smirked, his eyes holding a slight challenge in them.

    Summary

    Steve Harrington couldn't stop thinking about Eddie Munson.

    It was everything about him— his clothes, his hair, his personality, his rings, the black hanky sticking out of his left pocket—

    Wait.

    Oh. Oh.

    -or-

    Steve Harrington is obsessed with Eddie Munson, Robin has a Plot, and Steve isn't quite as oblivious as he seems.

    Summary

    So. There’d be no, like, veneer to it, sex with Steve; if Steve hurt him, it’d be with the transparent acknowledgment that that was the point, that Eddie wanted him to, no layers of setup or characterization to give any distance. Which is honestly so fucking vulnerable, in a way that’s hard to think about sometimes, but fuck if it doesn’t make Eddie’s toes curl.

    (Can be read as a stand-alone.)

    Summary

    “Thought about what I said last week?” Jesus, Steve wasn’t waiting was he? No small talk, no pleasantries.

    “Straight to the point, Stevie. Are you that blunt with all the girls?” Eddie tapped the bar with his knuckles, garnering a look from the bartender as Eddie held up two fingers. They exchanged nods as a finality to their wordless transaction and Eddie’s attention returned back to Steve.

    “Only the ones who I want wrist deep inside me,” it was said so flatly and void of expression, Steve ending his sentence with a swig of the beer that was placed in front of him, that Eddie almost choked on his own drink.

    The one in which Steve wears a red bandanna in his back pocket and Eddie refuses to acknowledge his feelings.

    Summary

    - DURING AND POST SEASON 4 VOLUME 2 -

    That was when he saw them.
    The two figures were folded over each other on the ground, a ring of dark shapes crumpled and curled around them. Webbed, membranous wings fluttered lifelessly in the wind, lifting at odd angles like plastic bags on the interstate.
    But Steve could barely see them.
    His ears rang, his vision reduced to a greyish tunnel as he recognised the wooly texture of Dustin’s ghillie suit.
    No.
    Steve’s feet tripped beneath him as he staggered down the hill, moving towards them.
    No hero moves, his thoughts washed through his mind in a seasick, rolling fashion. He could already see the dark wash of blood, soaking the ground like ink around them, as he bolted forward.
    I said no hero moves.


    Steve Harrington, ex-lifeguard and babysitter extraordinaire, happens to be blessed with knowledge of first aid. Eddie is the recipient of this aid, and as he recovers he must learn to live with the fact that he owes his life to a prom-king with a 12 step haircare routine. This would be easier if he didn’t find said prom king so uncomfortably attractive.
    And if the world would stop ending for five minutes.
    Geez.

      “Aliens,” Eddie said, watching the confusion flicker across Steve’s face.

      “What?”

      “Aliens. The new movie. It’s coming out in July, and it’ll probably be absolute shit, but the first one was so good-“

      “I don’t understand,” Steve said, his expression earnest, and Eddie tugged on his hair in frustration because damnit Steve, keep up, this might be the last goddamn time I ever see you.

      “You’re coming with me to see it, Steve. I don’t give a shit whether you hate scary movies or sci-fi or nothing. We’re gonna go watch Sigourney Weaver kick ass in space, and we’re gonna go get fries and shakes afterwards, and I’m gonna kiss you in my van. In July. Do you understand?”

      Please understand, Eddie begged him, scouring his face as he tried to memorise every line, every feature right now, just in case…

      The comprehension dawned on Steve’s face as Eddie watched him. The smile, bitter and terrified and so painfully sad, cracked wider as Steve gave a wobbly, delighted laugh, and his eyelids crinkled so tightly that Eddie could barely even see the honey-brown of the eyes behind them.

      “It’s a date,” Steve offered, his expression soft, and Eddie nodded.

      “It better be,” he said fiercely, and he pulled Steve in to crush their mouths together.

    Summary

    United States Antarctic Research Program, Walker Station - Winter Season, 1979

    Ray knocked lightly on the door, but turned the handle and stepped inside before he could hear a response.

    The breath caught in his throat.

    For a split second, he couldn’t make sense of what he was looking at. Just movement and the gleam of lamplight on pale, sweat-sheened skin. Then his brain caught up.

    Dr. Parker was in the lab, but he wasn’t alone.

    Or Ray, a nurse practitioner working his first season at a new research station in Antarctica, sees something he wasn't meant to see.

    Summary

    Steve had been having dreams. Dreams so vivid that he would wake up, look in the fancy-ass mirror next to his bed, and be surprised to find he didn’t have a ring of bruises around his neck.
    He’d never really thought about Eddie Munson in bed before, but once the thought had been planted, especially a thought of that nature, Steve’s imagination, however slow to start, didn’t really stop… imagining.
    Which was really quite a problem when they were just becoming friends.

    (featuring: eight pages of possibly the best smut i've ever written, a really quite unecessary plot development about bisexuality being a real sexuality that might be directed at the author's father, and a lot of focus on Eddie Munson's eyes)

    Summary

    “Trin, I don't feel comfortable doing this if there's a Satan thing. Not to say that you can't go! I just don't think it’ll be my thing.”

    “GAH! No there's no Satan thing!” Trinity yelled, “What I'm trying to say is: if anyone sees us at Pride it's because they are also at Pride.”

    Finally, it seemed to click in Dennis’s brain.

    “Oh… like why would they care if we were at Pride if they're at Pride.”

    -

    Trinity takes Dennis to his first Pride event. They run into some familiar faces.
