Summary
Progress isn't linear, but he's over a big hurdle that held him back for a long time. Being seen by Eddie had felt particularly vulnerable because he wasn't used to be seen at all, and didn't know what it meant to be here and be breathing. Running hadn't worked the way he thought it might—all of Eddie's softness had worn him down in a way that made him want to stay.
It's the staying and being that feels particularly hard, these days.

Summary
The door is still wide open, and Andie's pulse picks up. Anxious that someone might see her and, yet still, unwilling to deny the woman she loves.
Robin's about half a head taller than her, and rests her lips against Andie's temple while she murmurs, "Need you to take care of me before bed, okay? Think you can do that?"

Summary
Hargrove tells him about his soul mark. "That shit really does show up when you need it, man.
"I was about to step off the fucking chair, just take myself out, when I felt it." He doesn't seem to care at all that Steve can't figure out how to work his tongue.
"And then, like, fuck, man, you can't die not knowing what your soul mark says, so I got down and looked and laughed so hard I almost broke a fucking rib."
"I was starving when I got mine," Steve says. And he doesn't mean to. He shouldn't have. Wishes he didn't. He shrugs anyway because he's already here. "Just lonely or something."
"You have yours?"
"Uhhuh, had it for forever."
"No shit, man?"
"Whatever," Steve says.

Summary
"Am I your errand boy now?" He tries to sound annoyed and fails miserably, he's sure. Everyone in this room knows he'd do anything Joyce Byers told him to and he'd do it with a smile, for free, while being actively tortured.
"Sure are, Dingus!" Robin quips. She's damn-near starfished across the loveseat and there's a smudge of dirt on her cheek. Where the hell did they go today?
Joyce smiles into her mug and hums, a much softer energy than what Robin brings into the space.
"Yes, Steve, I think it would be really helpful if you started running errands for the shop. Robin's apprenticeship is starting to pick up and I need her to be more hands on, so I can't have her running them the way she has been. I figured you've got some time on your hands now, anyway?"

Summary
Fifteen months ago, Will Graham discovered that a college hookup he'd long forgotten had resulted in a son he'd never met. When Hannibal Lecter, age 22, arrived at his doorstep, he'd had no idea what to make of him.
Now, a year into living under the same roof, they attend the annual Verger-Bloom Father's Day Brunch. His hosts are thrilled for the new relation, though unaware of just how well the men get along.
Things, as they tend to, get out of hand.

Summary
The boy in the Reel had a frog bag named Hubert and strawberry socks and a little skirt over his pants, and Eddie’s entire alpha hindbrain reacted like a dog finding a squeaky toy and biting down.
Bad alpha. Terrible alpha. Go sit in the shame corner.
Eddie did not sit in the shame corner. Eddie clicked the profile.

Summary
The hallway light is off. Right down the hall, though, light spills through the cracks under the nursery door. Robby frowns, pads across hardwood flooring. His hand hovers over the doorknob, and he listens. Coming from inside are little hitched breaths, poorly stifled. A quiet sob follows. Robby opens the door before he can even think.
or
Dennis wets the bed and forgets that he is no longer his father's child. Robby and Jack have to remind him.
