    Summary

    Undertaker wasn't a life that Eddie had ever pictured for himself, but it was where he ended up. Still single, perpetually lonely, never having quite gotten over the fact that when he tried to escape Hawkins to make a life for himself away from the curse of the Upside Down, Steve hadn't followed when he asked.
    It’s been ten years since Eddie last saw Steve.
    He hadn’t expected the next time he saw him again to be back in Hawkins, let alone in a body bag.

    Summary

    Steve’s still figuring Eddie out, including the ways Eddie will wheedle and give him shit for an offhand remark or tone of voice. It’s not like Tommy, where there was always something darker looming behind his cocked brow or narrowed eyes. The wrong kind of look meant tipping the scales towards an inevitable violence.

     

    With Eddie the wrong look will get cigarette smoke blown in Steve’s face, the wrong words will get teased, playfully flipped back in a way that makes it feel like Eddie’s gently humbling him. Like each time Steve’s face goes warm with embarrassment it’s another strike to the long-dead King Steve. It’s mostly harmless. It’s intriguing. It’s the type of game Steve wants to understand so he can play it back.

     

    Or, a totally unoriginal post-s4 summer fix-it fic where Steve questions what he’s scared of, what he wants, and where Eddie Munson fits.

    Plus—how did Eddie learn how to braid hair?

    Summary

    Everyone is born with a soulmark on their forearm, about a sentence long. The sentence is what your soulmate was doing the first time your souls meet; the first time you touch, skin to skin. After you meet, the words change into your soulmate's name.

    James loves the concept of soulmates, but has always dreaded meeting his.

    Regulus had expected a different type of meeting the first time he read the way he met his soulmate, but he supposes this was fine as well.

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy writes a popular advice column under the pseudonym Sybaris, dispensing decadent musings on desire, indulgence, and the art of living beautifully. He doesn’t expect to become captivated by one of his anonymous letter-writers who is wry, thoughtful, and increasingly intimate.

    Harry Potter, adrift after the war and tired of being the world's reluctant savior, has become a recluse, hiding from headlines and people alike. Writing to Sybaris begins as a lark. It turns into a lifeline.
