Summary
With twenty-three years of life and zero years of dating experience under his belt, Eddie decides that he doesn't want to spend another Valentine's Day alone. He's determined to find a date for the upcoming holiday, capitalist bullshit be damned. The problem with having not dating experience, though, is having no idea what the hell he's doing or how to get a date. Steve, on the other hand, is practically a professional, and decides to do his duty as Eddie's best friend and roommate: give him some on-the-job experience. However, with each passing date, Eddie realizes that Valentine's Day is the least of his concern, and getting through these practice dates while keeping his feelings in check is the real challenge.
or
Five times Eddie takes Steve on a fake date, and one time Steve takes Eddie on a real one.

Summary
While trying to put together a production of Much Ado About Nothing, the characters’ lives become intertwined with those of whom they are playing. Self-proclaimed perpetual bachelor Steve and his bff Carol audition for the fall production, with Steve being cast as the aptly assigned role of Benedick. Meanwhile, unsatisfied romantic Eddie and his sunshine Chrissy also audition because the only other options are some horrific minstrel show that is severely out-dated, or Cats in the Spring and there’s no way. Eddie receives the part of Beatrice, Benedick’s down-fall. Both have their own reasons for being hesitant about the production, but when Carol and Chrissy seem to spark an intense romantic interest in one another, their lives become significantly more complicated.
Or: A Much Ado AU that unfolds the way all Shakespearean comedies do.

Summary
Steve had always known it was a possibility... Marrying as a business transaction, rather than for love. It was part and parcel of being born a royal.
A simple fact of life.
But meeting Chrissy helped to ease his worries of what his life was soon to become. She was sweet. She was kind. Even if they never grew into romantic love, he knew they would be very good friends as soon as he could whisk her away from her cold and harsh kingdom.
Now if only he could convince her Royal Advisor and resident guard dog, Eddie Munson of that.

Summary
Little did Steve know that uttering the ridiculous phrase, “I wish the goblins would come and take you away,” would turn his world upside down, and buy him a one way ticket to a nightmare maze.
Thirteen hours, one for every year of Dustin’s life, was all the time he had to solve the Labyrinth, make it to the castle beyond the Goblin City, and save his little brother from being trapped there with the Goblin King forever
…The extremely hot Goblin King, who was maybe not quite what he seemed, but still tried to thwart Steve at every turn.

Summary
Eddie has always dreamed of getting his own place. Parties every night, wailing guitars, maybe a babe or two. More importantly, he's dreamed of a place for his boys to crash after a late night gig or a rowdy night of D&D. But when he gets his own apartment at long last, he finds reality to be a far lonelier experience than what he'd expected. Enter Steve, the neighbor in 6B who Eddie shares a very thin wall with. His neighbor who, for better or for worse, sings at the top of his lungs whenever he’s in a good mood and dances around his kitchen every morning before 6am.
At first, the endless parade of pop hits annoy him, but after a time, it begins to chase away some of that loneliness. The fact that it devolves into a petty back and forth war on who has a better taste in music is neither here nor there. Now, if only Eddie could manage to actually meet the guy...
-
A modern day meet-cute featuring two shitty apartments, one hideous cat, misunderstandings, mutual pining, some truly inaccurate hopes and dreams about first time apartment living, at least some accidental voyeurism, and a whole lot of ABBA.
