    Summary

    “Alright, fine. I had a meeting today, with some members of the nobility. They say they're worried about the line of succession.”

    Eddie’s brow furrows. His wings quiver.

    “And how is that our problem? What exactly do they want you to do about that?”

    Steve thinks he's playing dumb on purpose, but he doesn’t say that. He supposes the sooner he gets this out in the open, the better.

    “Well, produce an heir, obviously.”

    “Produce?” Eddie’s brow twitches.”Like what, in a shop?”

    Steve rolls his eyes. “Yes, Eddie, in a shop. C'mon already, you know exactly what I'm talking about. They want me to take a consort, have children. A son or two, preferably. It's one of my duties as a-”

    Eddie snarls. His eyes flash gold, just at the same time that the warm glow in Steve's chest turns into a searing blaze, jealousy and possessiveness and mineminemine crashing into his mind like a physical thing.

    It occurs to him, a bit belatedly, that maybe he could've chosen a smarter way to open this discussion.

    Summary

    Eddie thought the night guard job at the local zoo was easy money. He didn't expect to encounter homicidal parrots, nosy middle schoolers, greedy hotel tycoons, or being attacked by a beautiful naked dude in search of his magic cloak - and it's only his first week!

    Or: The one where Steve is a selkie who lives at the zoo and Eddie needs to help him find his hide.

    Summary

    “Beer’s fine.” Hargrove saunters over to the plush armchairs at the center of the room. “I'm not much for that fancy shit myse- … Oh, will you look at that? I didn’t know this place allowed pets.”

    Anyone less experienced would probably miss the split second before his face shifts to a smile. Eddie catches it all, though. The wide-eyed surprise, the startled intake of breath. The way that smile is just a little too sharp around the edges.

    “They allow anything if you pay accordingly,” he claims, sliding back into his chair. “And besides, he's well trained. Aren't you, sweetheart?”

    Summary

    “What the fuck?” Steve blurts. Again. He's starting to lose count of how often it's been. “Who do you even think you are, you fucking weirdo?”

    The guy cocks his head in confusion, but only for a second. Then, that infuriating grin slips back on. He's handsome, in a dangerous and rugged way, with his wild hair and bruised lip.

    “Apologies, he rumbles. “Where are my manners?”

    And then, without getting up off the ground, he reaches out and takes Steve’s hand in his. Steve watches, heart in his throat and eyes wide with confusion, how the guy bends into a dramatic bow and reverently kisses his own blood off his raw knuckles.

    “The name is Edward. King Edward of the Woodland Mountains. Also oh-so-aptly known as Edward the Banished, though my friends just call me Eddie. And you, my dear …”

    He looks up, all glinting eyes under dark lashes and Steve needs to swallow against the lump clogging his throat.

    “You're going to be the one who saves me.”

    —--

    Or: A story about a reluctant hero, a cursed king, and a love that transcends space, time, and maybe even death itself.

    Summary

    It starts as a joke.

    The kids, they’re little shits, who make fun of him on the daily but he loves enough to take them to school and help with their homework. Drives them places when it's raining or cold or they can’t be bothered to bike and packs them lunches when he knows their parents have forgotten. Let’s them sleep in his house when those same parents are out of town, or when Joyce is at work and they can’t all sleep there, and the Wheelers are sick of all the kids spending days and days and days in the basement and like he said it started as a joke.

    A comment here and there about him being a babysitter, how far he’s fallen from King Steve to become an unpaid childminder, a joke that isn’t quite a joke after the tenth time. Then when he really falls into the roll, somewhere between the first experience of the upside down and the third, when not knowing when they are, if they’re okay, made his chest tight and his breath shorten until he can get ahold of at least three of them.

    Somewhere between there being just four of them to Eleven coming back and Max joining the group they start calling him mom.

    -

    OR the Party call Steve mom and he has feeling about it.
