Summary
“Sorry,” Steve says. “I’m sorry, I know this doesn’t make any sense to you, but can I just–”
Eddie lets him approach, this time. Lets him reach out to touch, to curl his fingers in the hem of Eddie’s shirt.
“Sorry, I know I probably sound crazy, I just––” he pulls it up, stares at Eddie’s side, and then lets out a hysterical little noise that sounds like a cross between a laugh and a sob.
“You’re ok,” Steve says.
His fingers are hot on Eddie’s skin, pressed light and shockingly reverent to the space between his hip and rib cage.
“You’re ok,” he repeats. It sounds like he’s trying to convince himself.
“Hey,” Eddie says. It comes out more breathless than he’d prefer but Steve fucking Harrington has him backed against a wall in a bathroom with his hands up Eddie’s shirt so he thinks a little lack of air is warranted. “Are you ok?”
The fingers on his abdomen flex. "No,” Steve says. His eyes are wide and fathomless and the look on his face is terrible. “No, I’m not even remotely ok.”

Summary
Will needs a date to his mom's wedding. Mike volunteers.
“I have an idea,” says Mike.
Ice cubes form in Will’s stomach. “How dangerous is it? Like, should I call Dustin to talk you down, or should I call Nancy to be ready to drive us to the hospital?”
“No,” says Mike, “you can’t tell anyone or it won’t work.”
“Or what won’t work?” Will asks. It’s like picking up a rock you know a spider will be under.
Mike gets up and closes Will’s door. Hopper doesn’t make them keep it open but sometimes Will does anyway, because every now and then lying around alone with Mike on his bed just makes his chest ache too much. If the door is open he can tell himself You can’t do anything right now, someone will see.
Mike leans back against the door. His eyes are lit up with that special maniacal gleam that the Wheelers get right before they do something insane, like when Nancy says, “Then we have to go kill Vecna ourselves,” or whatever. “Take me to the wedding,” says Mike.
“Yeah,” says Will slowly, “you’ll be at the wedding. Obviously.”
“As your date."

It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.
Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.
or
Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

Summary
“And what does it take?” Astarion finds himself asking. “To sate you?”
“It depends.” A muscled shoulder goes up in an elegant shrug. “I like to be taken. And I’m very, very good at it.”
Astarion’s breath catches in his throat. “Is that it? You like to be… full?”
“In more ways than one.” Gale is drifting closer now, his pupils black as the turbulent storm raging within Astarion. “I like feeling open. Loose. There is a certain exhilaration to having the spend of many dripping out of you.” He pauses, eyes fluttering shut, a soft sigh escaping him.
“Quite nothing like getting your prostate pounded to incoherency, wouldn’t you agree?”
Astarion had anticipated many things on his upcoming semester exchange to Blackstaff Academy. Falling irrevocably for the resident campus bicycle was not one of them.

They don’t go their separate ways after the fight.
They end up at her place, acting like they’ve lost their damn minds — drinking too much, touching too much, pretending nothing matters while everything clearly does.

Summary
Two very lonely, grouchy assholes correspond by informal mail. Would they be less grouchy together? Probably. Will they figure that out? Maybe?
Look this is as UNSERIOUS as it gets - please do not take any of this seriously in any way. One should never harass one's neighbor through the town clerk. Or otherwise :)
Almost all of this was a languishing old WIP until I saw this drop-dead piece of art by @citrussyndicate of Ed lounging in the nude. Many, many blessings upon @CitrusSyndicate for this Ed. I finally knew how to end this endless thing!

Summary
The day Frank Columbo met Eugenio Franchitti was a day blessed by God: God and all the real angels and saints, specifically Adjutor, Philip Neri, and Barbara. The war was going full swing; on the beach there were the leftovers, the women and boys and girls, and the oldest Franchitti kids who hadn’t shipped overseas, Geno and Cecilia, first cousins. Frank hadn’t noticed ’em at first, either of ’em, the tall and lanky boy and girl with skin like gold and eyelashes like fringed velvet burlesque fans, physical traits the magazines said you could shell out for but the Franchitti kids had ’em in spades all natural; but once he had he couldn’t stop noticin'.

The story of how Columbo and Mrs. Columbo came to be.

Summary
Stede Bonnet's dream of moving his family to Bali has been quashed when Mary refuses to do it, and the holiday he's planned to try to convince her otherwise has just resulted in a plan to divorce when they get home.
Which is, of course, when a volcano on a different island erupts, sending plumes of ash into the air and cancelling all flights.
Trapped without accommodation in the worst week of their lives, Stede's stunned when cryptocurrency legend Edward Teach sees him on the news and offers a place for them to stay. He's about to get far, far more than he bargained for.

Summary
Come to karaoke, Lucius had said. It’s a good crew of regulars, he’d said. It’s not officially a queer bar but it’s definitely a queer bar, he’d said.
One of my friends is one of the most beautiful men on the planet was definitely not one of the phrases he’d used to try and convince Stede to come. Might have achieved his desired outcome a little faster if that had been part of his proposal.
or: eight times Ed and Stede don't have sex after Friday Night Karaoke at Jackie'z, and one time they absolutely, definitely do.

Summary
So there Ed is, in this enormous room all decked out in ivory and gold, surrounded by one-percenters and inherited wealth and fucking caviar. And he sits under a canopy of twinkling crystals, and he plays his mood music, and the room slowly fills.
And the bride and groom are nowhere to be seen.
Ed’s starting to feel more and more like a member of the string quartet playing out the sinking of the fucking Titanic.
(Or: Ed's the harpist at a swanky wedding that's gone south. Stede's got his own problems. A one-night fastburn meet-cute: fluff, humour, eventual smut, and a truly obscene description of caviar)

The kids are off to summer camp, Mary is on a trip with her fiance, Doug, and Stede is newly single with no earthly idea what comes next. He books a room at The Queen Anne B&B — run by mysterious proprietor Blackbeard — and vows to make the best of his vacation alone.

Summary
Stede draws his attention back to the head massage, alternating pressure from the kind of bruising that’s enough to knead a migraine away, to gentle, delicate strokes through his hair. He grows almost meditative with it, forcing his eyes away from Ed’s face and simply enjoying the feeling of body heat and cool, damp-silk hair against his palms. Truthfully, he could do this for hours, rather than the usual three-to-five minutes that’s usually afforded to customers when they…
When…
It’s been longer than three-to-five minutes.
A quick glance at the clock reveals it’s been far, far longer than three-to-five minutes.
Stede doesn’t mind, obviously. And Ed doesn’t seem to be about to question it. But the snide little Lucius-like voice in the back of his mind points out that almost twenty fucking minutes is maybe a bit of an overkill.
Stede yanks his hands away from Ed’s hair like it’s covered in bleach.
“Okey-doke!” Stede manages, voice shrill and a little strangled.
From across the salon, the real Lucius snorts.
(OR: Stede's a hair stylist. Ed shows up for an appointment. And shows up. And shows up. And shows up...)

Summary
“Are you here for the free walking tour?” Teal Umbrella Guy says. He’s around Ed’s age, obviously bundled up in multiple layers, and wearing a very nice coat that suggests that either he’s an exceptionally good tour guide, or that the money’s coming from somewhere else. (It must be that one, there’s no one else here.) His face lights up, hopeful - probably at the prospect that he might have one taker on what is, objectively, a really shitty day to be outside. A properly expressive face, Ed thinks, now he can see it close up.
Teal Umbrella Guy whips a phone out, goes to an app. “Did you sign up online? Through the Gentleman Tourguide?” The umbrella is doing some pretty precarious things now that the guy is focused on his screen, and Ed takes a half step back to prevent a stabbing.
He’s got no idea how the guy manages the hairstyle he’s got going on, golden hair curled to perfection, like no hand should touch it.
Ed immediately wants to touch it.

Summary
“You know I’d be perfectly glad to give you a crack at it, Ed. I’d…it’s always me. And of course, I thoroughly enjoy a…a good round of cards. But if you’d like a turn, I–I think I’d actually rather enjoy giving you the reins for once.”
And why the fuck does his voice sound so pitchy and anxious and tight?
It’s…it’s fucking solitaire.
“Just don’t think I’ll be as good at it as you, love,” Ed murmurs truthfully.
“I think–” Stede confesses quietly. “I think you’d be very good, if you were willing to give it a shot. Methodical. Careful. Gentle.”
Ed frowns. He tilts his head to try and catch Stede’s gaze, but Stede quickly looks away.
“Do you,” Ed begins, hesitant and feeling strangely wrongfooted, like there’s a conversation happening in Stede’s head that he isn’t a part of. “Do you need to be particularly gentle with playing cards?”
(OR: Stede is not talking about solitaire. A post-canon romp about quality time, communication, sex, and being brave enough to ask for the things you want.)

Summary
Ed watches. Feels the warmth of Stede’s touch and the warmth of the rum, feels the featherlight pass of Stede’s thumb over his pulse.
“Of course,” Stede says, and Ed looks up to see a flicker of a naughty schoolboy smirk sweep across his features, “there is one particular downside to taking it slow."
And the fucking dork waggles his eyebrows. Awful. Just appalling.
It doesn’t not work for Ed.
Ed and Stede fail at taking it slow, after Season 2 Episode 5.
