Summary
In the summer of 1991, Eddie attends Steve's wedding.
As he wraps his arms around Steve for perhaps the last time, Eddie reminisces about every intimate moment they shared over the last half-decade. Every time their fingers explored parts of their bodies that never see daylight. Every word they spoke that never left the boundaries of a tightly sealed door.
It's been a cold two years since he and Steve have seen each other—since they've even talked. But the flame that Eddie has always felt for Steve has refused to die. And now he's seconds away from watching the man he wasted his youth loving walk down the aisle.
Each step Steve takes closer to the altar has Eddie wondering if the passion they shared was all in his head, or if maybe—somewhere buried deep—Steve loves him, too. Even if he might never admit it.OR
The chronicals of Steve and Eddie's lives over the years—the joys, the challenges, and the journey that leads them to a wedding where one is at the altar and the other is in the audience.

Bookmarker's Notes
One of the more realistic takes on being gay in the 80s. Rampant homophobia, fear, and intense self loathing paired with genuine love and sex and devastating heartache. My eyes are still swollen from ugly crying my way through Chapters 7, 8, and 9.

Summary
Steve and Eddie were always the perfect goalie tandem. Their friendship on and off the ice made them the best. When Steve suffers a career-ending injury less than a year into their NHL debut, he has to give up more than just his goalie pads.
Nine years later, Steve’s daughter, Rory, wants to be a goalie just like he was. He thought the hardest thing he’d have to face was the practice schedule, or the price tag, or missing work for tournaments.
None of that was nearly as hard as facing Eddie again.

We love a single dad Steve fic, but this one is truly next level. A decades long hockey-centered romance that begins and ends with best friends on the ice. Intense and sad a so, so sweet. I loved it.

Bookmarker's Notes
A cautionary tale about emotional abuse and the trauma of living life in the critical public eye of social media. LOVED Eddie and company in this, so funny and intensely sweet, wanted to hug poor Steve, and I’ve never hated Tommy Hagan more than I did in this fic. A sad story, but the second half of the series (The Interviews) is a FANTASTIC payoff.

Let us Dwell in Fair Ithilien and There Make a Garden by materialism, sparklyslug

Summary
'I stand in Minas Anor, the Tower of the Sun,' she said; 'and behold! the Shadow has departed! I will be a shieldmaiden no longer, nor vie with the great Riders, nor take joy only in the songs of slaying. I will be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren.' And again she looked at Faramir. 'No longer do I desire to be a queen,' she said.
Then Faramir laughed merrily. 'That is well,' he said; 'for I am not a king. Yet I will wed with the White Lady of Rohan, if it be her will. And if she will, then let us cross the River and in happier days let us dwell in fair Ithilien and there make a garden. All things will grow with joy there, if the White Lady comes.'

Summary
HailToTheKing: tell me what you look like
ELMst01: tall, pale af, few tats here and there
Steve lifts his eyes from his phone. He must be wondering why Eddie is smiling like a fucking idiot.
Eddie pretends not to notice Steve sizing him up from head to foot.
Judging bastard.
HailToTheKing: sounds hot
HailToTheKing: just my type
OR
The only thing worse than Steve Harrington, is the fact that Eddie got paired with him for his college assignment. At least the sexy guy he subscribes to on OnlyFans is a good distraction to keep Eddie's mind away from Steve, and the annoying crush he hates that he's starting to develop on his project partner.

HILARIOUS You’ve Got Mail but make it Pornhub and OnlyFans college romcom that will have you laughing the whole way through. One of my fave versions of Eddie ever.
