Summary
He’s like all the others, when they bring him in. More than half dead, covered in mud. Leg almost hanging off him, just a mess of torn flesh and exposed bone. Likely won’t survive. God knows Inej has seen better off than him succumb to their injuries.
Northern France, 1917. In a battlefield hospital, Corporal Kaz Rietveld lies gravely wounded. His nurse is determined that he will not be another thing she loses to this war.

Summary
Steve leans against the side of the boathouse and lets Eddie fumble with the cheap Bic lighter for a minute before he clears his throat and says, “You want a light?”
It's hard to read his tone. There's a bitter, suspicious, self-defensive part of Eddie that wants to lash out, but instead he grips the lighter until the plastic creaks and says, “Sure. If you have one.”
“Yeah.” Steve digs in his pocket and comes up with a nice Zippo. He doesn't hand it to Eddie; instead, he flicks the flame on and holds it out for him to lean down, and there's an intimacy to it that Eddie wasn't quite expecting. Like one of those old Leyendecker paintings. He imagines this tableau sketched out in clean art deco lines: the prom king and the freak. A study in contrasts.
-
Or: In which Eddie survives the Upside Down, and Steve Harrington turns out to be nothing like he expects.

Summary
“No one’s going to be looking for you here, if they’re even still looking. It’s safe,” Steve said.
His hand was still around Steve’s wrist, tethering him in place. His fingers were over Steve’s pulse, and Steve felt impossibly nervous all of a sudden. It was the adrenaline of the day. It was his spotty memory. That was all.
“No, I mean…is it okay with you?” Eddie said.
He didn’t need to say more. Steve was often slow on the uptake, but he could put this much together. Not long ago Steve and Eddie had barely known each other. Not long ago Eddie only knew him as that popular asshole who crashed and burned right out of high school and Steve knew Eddie as the drug dealing D&D freak who had charmed the hell out of Henderson, but somehow couldn’t charm his way to a high school diploma.
Steve swallowed, thickly. “‘Course it’s okay. I’m the one who offered,” he said.

Summary
They care, Steve repeats to himself. They care. People care about him. It’s not ideal, but it’s something. He can work with it. Nobody’s ever been voted Prom King after they had a breakdown in the parking lot during study hall.
-
Robin hates boys. This guy’s voice sounds just as annoying as her crying does, though, so at least it isn’t just her being victimized by the bathroom tiles.
-
Steve and Robin have always had something in common. It just took them a while to figure it out.

Summary
This idea was bouncing around my brain at 3am so I just had to write it down.
Eddie is a famous musician. Gaining fame through the 90s with Corroded Coffin. Him and Steve have been together since 1987, but they were always very private about their relationship. Steve is like a cryptid in the Corroded Coffin fandom, with very little information about him, and very few pictures. Eddie is promoting a solo album in 2021, and Steve is pulled on camera to do a silly interview with him. They're about 54/55 in this fic.
This is the transcript of that interview.

Summary
“I can’t see.”
Steve doesn’t know what else to say. Maybe small talk isn’t exactly in his wheelhouse. He settles with, “I know, I’m sorry.”
“I was supposed to go to the movies with Lucas.”
“You still can. Just no silent films, yeah?”
or;
Steve is there when Max wakes up. They talk existential crisis and bravery over a backpack of pudding cups and children's books.

Summary
“D’you remember what you said that one time. About me visiting Eddie a lot. Like, weirdly a lot.”
It’s hard to forget that day, but Lucas still isn’t sure why Steve looks so distressed. “Sure?”
“I,” Steve stops. He seems to recalibrate, remember where he is, who he’s with, why he’s sitting there in the first place.
“Listen, I don’t… just forget I asked that, actually. Don’t worry about it, Sinclair.”
or, Lucas and Steve help eachother out in the aftermath.

Summary
Eddie and Steve have been spending a lot of time together since Vecna. They're co-parenting kids, getting high every night, and sleeping in the same bed. They basically share a wardrobe too.
He thinks this is dangerous, its like they’re married, the casual sharing of intimacy, this space between them which feels like something and nothing all at the same time. He thinks it’s dangerous for him to pretend Steve sees it the same way, that one day Steve’s droopy, kind eyes are going to see right through him and he’ll lose this. This being a side of Steve’s bed that is his, a nightstand where his rings always pile, a drawer of shirts in Steve’s bedroom that only Eddie uses. He can’t lose it, so he shuts his mouth, turns out the light, and watches the slow breathing of sleep fill Steve’s chest.

Summary
“So,” Mom says one weekend afternoon as she and Robin stare down the Sunday Times crossword, huddled together on the porch swing, “you and Steve Harrington sure have been living in each other’s pockets lately.” She puts down the pen and gives Robin a carefully-probing smile disguised as a teasing one. “Anything you wanna tell me?”
Yeah; I’m gay, Robin thinks. Her throat constricts painfully. “I—you’d know if I were dating someone,” she says instead.

Summary
Dustin watches Eddie's face as everyone else giggles. He's retained his typical intimidating smirk for much of this encounter, but as Steve stumbles through his fictional seduction, Eddie's eyes soften. His smirk slowly turns to a small grin.
“Didn't Wizard Romeo and Juliet both die?” he asks, in that same low, grumbly voice he always loves to use for big scary bad guys. The effect is jarring.
“Well, yes, but… they loved each other first,” Steve says, oddly sincere. “I think love is worth the risk. Wouldn't you agree? And then, uh, I'm gonna take off my helmet and, like—” Steve tosses his hair, shaking it out dramatically and running a hand through it afterward to fix any wayward strands.
"Ew,” Mike says.
Nancy presses a hand over her mouth, but it does nothing to hide her smile. Usually, this is the point where Eddie would make them all roll initiative. Dustin has his D20 ready. But Eddie smiles. Eddie fucking smiles, and not in that maniacal way he does before siccing something horrific on them, he fucking beams, and says, "You're gonna scrape your neck on his mace doing that, just so you know."

Summary
In her short time with the Dregs, Inej had not been expected to kill. Instead, she spent her days getting to know Ketterdam’s rooftops and perfecting the art of disappearing into the shadows of the city. She was a spider, not an assassin, Kaz had made that clear as he lay out their arrangement. Killing, she had decided, was a line she wasn’t willing to cross, as long as she didn’t have to. It was a foolish wish in the Barrel, but she did not want to lose that part of herself.

Inej learns to fight.

Summary
He’s won. He’s finally won, and it aches more than he’d originally expected. Of course, he never expected revenge to be easy. He planned for everything, every last detail, never left anything down to chance. It consumed him, that need for vengeance, that need to hurt in retaliation, and so his armour was born. Anything he needed to do to survive, anything he needed to do to make it long enough to make Pekka Rollins bleed.

Kaz has got his revenge. Of course, that doesn't make anything better.- Language:

"Stay?"

The DeKappel Heist (and other tales) by Daroliolia

18 Sep 2021

Summary
Reports of the record-breaking deal hit the newsstands two days later, much to the delight of the other Dregs. Kaz had limped down the stairs that morning to find copies of the papers covering the DeKappel sale littering the landing, the Dregs milling about the parlor watching him closely with barely disguised mirth. Perhaps, Kaz considered, he’d made art theft too much his signature. Might be time to lay off.
OR: Kaz is definitely not going to steal that DeKappel. He is definitely not falling for the Wraith. He is definitely not planning on taking over the Dregs. A lot of things aren't happening, except that they are
