    Summary

    Disgraced music reporter Eddie Munson liked to party a little too hard and took his responsibilities a little too loosely, until his editor decided to reassign him to the one place where he wouldn’t have any fun – the sports beat. That’s how the self-proclaimed freak landed himself a job following around second baseman Steve Harrington and his up and coming team, the Indiana Mindflayers.

    Eddie soon learns that, in a world where alphas are king and secrets could cost you everything, where your every move is judged and a bad day on the field doesn’t just hurt you, it hurts your whole team, where a hero and a freak could have more in common than either of them ever imagined, nothing is quite what it seems.

    An alpha/baseball/omega fic!

    Summary

    In the wake of yet another overtly public scandal, the lead guitarist for the folk metal band Corroded Coffin is sent away to his Uncle’s town of Bumfuck Nowhere, Indiana to spend his summer taking care of himself.

    Which said lead guitarist certainly doesn’t need. Because Chrissy is overreacting, and Eddie doesn’t need to be treated like a Victorian child with a prescription for ocean breezes, he needs to be in LA with his band, practicing. Writing. Rehearsing.

    He’s fine.

    But his manager’s will is iron, and Eddie arrives at his uncle’s door feeling much like the homeless teen he was a mere decade ago, tail between his legs as he asks for more than he’s ever been able to give, and taking more than he can ever hope to repay.

    With Wayne taking his arrival in stride, Eddie is forced to integrate himself into this new, slower-paced reality. He harvests chicken eggs. Churns mayonnaise. Takes a stab at home repair and weeds Wayne’s garden, all while eyeing the unfairly hot beekeeper next door.

    However as the summer progresses, and Eddie falls faster and deeper than he ever imagined, this new reality forces him to grapple with what his fame has given him, and what it has taken away.

    Summary

    Steve makes a face at Eddie. “You've imagined doing stuff with a guy?”

    “Yeah, man,” Eddie replies, spreading his hands wide. “Doesn't everyone?”

    Steve tilts his head to the side as he thinks. Maybe not very often, but his freshman year when Davey Riggs had been swim team captain? Yeah, he had definitely imagined some stuff that had made trips to the locker room kinda awkward.

    “Yeah, that's true,” Steve answers, nodding. “I wonder why everybody acts like it's so gross, though.”

     

    In the summer of 1986, Steve and Eddie have some perfectly normal fun between a couple of perfectly normal dudes.

    Summary

    “Still not graduated, Harrington?”
     
    It’s something Eddie would have said teasingly when they were teens. Steve would have smacked him on the shoulder, affectionately calling him an asshole before being pulled into an apologetic kiss. But they are not teenagers anymore and Eddie’s voice lacks any of the warmth that used to be reserved for Steve. Now, it’s just loaded with resentment, which, yeah, is a fair reaction.
     
    “I…eh…work here now,” Steve says lamely and points at his office door. “Guidance counselor.”
     
    or: 14 years after his first big heartbreak, Steve's life is relatively stable. It's been two years since the tragic incident that led to him becoming Dustin's guardian, both of them slowly healing. He is doing amazing at his job and his social life is great. Of course, that's when a person from Steve's past has to come and shake everything up.
