    Summary

    “My Abuela said it,” Silvio insists. “She said you have to wear the hat, because you have a pale ass so you’re going to get skin cancer and die before Lance even wakes up.”

    Keith looks between the children and the hat, too confused to glare, sweaty and horrid from pulling weeds beneath the scorching sun. “What?”

    “That’s wrong,” Nadia complains, and yanks her brother down to her level to whisper the correction in his ear.

    “Ooh,” Silvio amends. “Tía Veronica said you have a pale ass. My Abuela said you’re gonna die.”

    OR

    When Lance is fatally wounded during their final battle, the blue lion enters a deep hibernation with Lance inside. Unsure when or if he’ll wake, Keith is forced to wait and watch over him in the company of the people he fears most: Lance’s family.

    Summary

    The first time Alec sees a pride parade, he doesn’t know what it is.

    It isn’t the big NYC Pride March; it’s a small parade. Or, at least, Alec will eventually realize it’s small for New York. 

    He never finds out whether the march is completely impromptu or a gathering of a few different neighborhoods or even something else entirely, but on a steamy June day three months before his fourteenth birthday, Alec stands alone, partially hidden in the mouth of a Brooklyn alley, and watches six hundred rainbow-garbed mundanes dance their way through the streets.

    He took a huge breath to steady himself, waaay to worked up to be on live radio.

    “And I don’t know what the hell I’m doing.”

    -

    In which Keith is the guy who suddenly finds himself a single-parent to his two nieces, and Lance is the charming radio host who might be his only voice of reason in this mess

    Summary

    The phone rang.

     

    Steve shot up, walking toward it, his nerves lit up in memory-old anticipation and dread.

    ***

    Steve Harrington has tried to push the past down, away, to lock it up.

    But he knows better than anyone that you can't keep anything hidden in the dark for long, and skeletons never remain buried.

    When a kid in town goes missing, it awakens his old ghosts, and Steve finds himself trying to balance his past and present selves as he joins in on the search effort.
