    Summary

    Whatever carefully blank expression Lestat is trying on disappears like a slap. “Armand made a fledgling. Why would he do that?” Lestat asks.

    “Oh, you know,” Louis says, watching the three dots of a new text pop up. “He knew Daniel was… important to me.”

    He means to say it with rueful annoyance, as if to say, “so he ruined him.” But as Daniel’s text comes in—the most important question I should have asked you in that fucking interview: where do you buy coke in Dubai?—Louis’s voice trails off, his words maybe lacking some of the bite.

    or

    Lestat misunderstands what Daniel is to Louis and tries to be a champ about it. Meanwhile Louis rediscovers his drug of choice—Lestat.

    Summary

    Rockstar Eddie Munson needs a fake boyfriend after a scandal; enter high end escort Steve Harrington. Unfortunately Eddie"s heart didn"t get the memo on the "fake" part of the deal, while the more time he spends with Steve the deeper he falls, the closer he gets to something that looks a whole lot darker than a college student just trying to pay off his student loans.

    “For you, your highness.” Eddie bent at the waist as he offered the cheap stuffed animal.

    Steve’s eyes went wide, but he accepted the little stuffed animal, holding it up for inspection. Some of the stitches were visible and his eyes were lopsided, but it didn’t change the way Eddie’s heart stuttered as Steve very gently touched its nose against his own, holding it like it were an actual small creature and not cotton and thread.

    “What’s his name?”

    “Bernard,” Steve said with such confidence that Eddie couldn’t help laughing.

    “What?” Steve said, looking mildly affronted.

    Eddie grinned. “No, it’s a great name, Bernard the Bat. Berry for short even.”

    Steve crossed his arms, but with the stuffed animal it looked more like he was hugging it to his chest.

    “Slushies?” Eddie said before he could do anything stupid.

    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.
