    Summary

    “What’s one thing you’ve always wanted to do?” Stevie asks. She imagines what Eddie might say: play a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. Eat twenty hot dogs in one sitting.

    Meet Metallica. That particular thought sends a zing of hurt through her body, her mind at once preoccupied with the distant echoes of a wailing guitar and the sudden, haunting quiet that followed.

    “Kiss someone,” Eddie says, finally.

    (Or: Stevie Harrington lives through four time loops to save the two people that matter most to her.)

    Summary

    He actually wants to watch the Fellowship of the Ring, has actually been waiting for this for uhhhh, what, like, twenty years of his life? Problem is, there’s another thing he’s been waiting for for almost as long, and it’s sitting right next to Eddie, making little soft impressed noises at Gandalf’s fireworks, flashing quick smiles his way when he offers him the tub of greasy popcorn.

    He's not going to be able to remember any of the movie, he’ll just remember this: the white-hot screaming bliss of sitting next to the love of his fucking life, and not knowing if it’s cool to try and hold his hand or not.

    (Or: the second date fifteen years in the making)

    Summary

    Eddie's eyebrows shoot up as high as they can go. His heart is beating a rabbit rhythm against his chest. The floor below him crumbling into an abyss. He’s in free fall here, utterly helpless to the onslaught that is Steve’s confession.

    Drunk confession.

    The reminder does nothing to soften the blow when he feels calloused fingertips on the corner of his eye. “And your laugh lines, I don’t know anybody who has them. Not as deep as yours.” Steve’s fingers drag lower, to his cheeks, and brush against the scars on his jaw. “Has anybody ever told you that you laugh with your entire face?”

     

    OR a reverse 5+1: The one time Steve drunkenly confesses all the things he likes about Eddie and the five times Eddie tries to fluster him with said attributes.

    Summary

    It’s the last day of school before Christmas, and the first thing Eddie hears when he enters Family Video is Steve Harrington saying, “Fuck this,” which seems kinda unreasonable; he’s not even done anything yet.
