    Summary

    "You look like you've been mauled, dude," says Lucas. Then, after a beat, "Oh, ew."

    "What the fuck," says Dustin, cottoning on, "What the fuck. This is hell, you didn't."

    "Oh, I did," says Eddie, with the air of someone who's won something. He looks like the proverbial cat who's got the canary, if the canary wore polos and listened to Blondie.

    "Shut up," Steve mutters, flushing as he seems to register what's happening, "Guys, it's not what you--uh, this isn't what it looks like--"

    Or, five times Dustin Henderson was subjected to Eddie Munson being gross and sappy and in love with Steve Harrington, and one time Steve didn't even have to be there.

    Summary

    "Sam and Eric looked helplessly at the boat leaving the harbor, too far out to swim. Even if they wanted to try, the harbor was swarming with creatures. The boat sailed away and they headed back to the jazz club in silence."

    (Eric misses the boat off the main land and Sam lets him stay with her.)

    Summary

    “I—I’m sorry,” Caracalla stammered uncertainly. As if he had just learned a new word, one that carried a magic he feared. A word he had avoided like fire—until now.

    “I know,” Geta replied gently.

    As if he truly understood, what Caracalla felt before he had even managed to voice his emotions aloud. That’s just how he was, wasn’t it? Geta was always right, always knew better. When they were children, Caracalla thought it was a gift. Now, it seemed more like a curse. Whatever he will say, Geta won’t be surprised by his remorse. He won’t notice the change growing within him, hesitant and fragile, like a bird too weak to break through its eggshell.

    “Forgive me. I was wrong. I’m sorry.”

    Summary

    "If only I were born a woman," Caracalla laments, tickling Dondus beneath his tiny chin. "You could wed me."

    Caracalla turns to Geta now, his blue eyes sharp, vibrant. Geta feels flayed beneath those eyes, his glass-sharp gaze. The blue starts to burn, the very sky itself caught on fire.

    "I'd make a lovely bride," Caracalla continues, musical voice gentled, a contrast to the fervor in his eyes.
