Summary
For years and years, Eddie knew touch to be violent. Painful. A bruising grip around his arm in public, an open palm across his face at home. He’s not sure his dad ever actually loved him, not as much as he loved the authority he held over him. High school had him contending with violence from people who were supposed to be his peers. He was tolerated in middle school, but he supposes the children of Hawkin’s finest figured that fourteen years old was too old to express himself, and it was high time they fixed that problem with their fists.
Year after year, his whole life is a compilation of hands laid on him for all the wrong reasons.

Summary
One night Eddie is taking out the trash and finds himself saving a distressed omega from being mugged. After some light flirting he falls head over heals for the man named Steve who he reluctantly lets walk out of his life the next morning.
What Eddie realizes a moment too late is that Steve could be the answer to settling the debt he owes. Not only is the omega the senator's son who ran out on his own wedding, there's a hefty reward set for his return.
Eddie's determined to find Steve again. Fortunately for him, the omega doesn't seem to mind being found by Eddie. Romance soon gets in the way for this pair of strangers as they navigate through their feelings and the city.

Summary
“Eddie?" Steve sounds sleep-rough even to his own ears. "What’s up, man? It’s like, midnight.”
“I know, I know, sorry, just—“ Eddie takes a breath. “David proposed to me.”
Steve feels the world tilt on its axis. “Oh.”
“Aren’t you gonna ask me what I said?”
Softly, Steve asks, “What did you say?”
“I said yes.”
(Or, Steve and Eddie navigate their twenties together and apart. Eventually, something has to give.)

Summary
The mirror provides an escape—the opportunity for illusion.
In it, Steve sees Eddie looking at him—sees himself looking at Eddie in the same garish way—but reality is obstructed by reflection’s power to deceive. To bend light and truth.
“Flattering. Do I need to get HR on the line or are you going to behave?” He threatens, though it falls flat.
“ ‘dunno,” Eddie shrugs and Steve’s belly swims with that unavoidable heat, “guess that all depends on how much you hate me—how much do you hate me, Harrington?”
“Let me count the ways, Munson.”
“Enough to tell me to leave you alone?”
or, a Steddie enemies to lovers modern AU in which they both work for Steve's dad and things get complicated

Summary
Steve thinks it’s just human nature to wait, to make bold moves and big changes under the cover of darkness. The daylight makes him feel too exposed, too easily seen. He worries that if the sun hits him just right, everyone will see right through his skin, and into the ugly, tangled mess inside him.
He doesn’t want to do this.
He has to do this.
