    Summary

    Will nods along with Robin’s blabber. He grabs her hand. “Hey, Steve’s okay. Eddie’s got him. He’ll be fine.” He pauses, biting his lip hard. “But, Rob, you really dropped the ball. Why didn’t you tell me they were in love? That would have answered my question immediately.”

    Robin stares at him wide eyed and stonestill, “What?”

    Will scrunches his brow, “Eddie held him like he was the most precious thing in the world. It was obvious once they were alone. They’re in love.”

    Robin deflates and grabs his hand, “Oh, Will, no.” She squeezes his hand with soft sympathy. “Because they’re not.” She squeezes her eyes shut, scrunching her face in clear distaste of what she has to say. “Or at least I don’t think they know it yet.”

     

    ***

    Set pre season 5 in the lost time.

    Will accidentally (on purpose) becomes a silent witness to Steve and Eddie’s burgeoning new relationship. Will learns a little about life, love and himself.

    Summary

    Steve has grown so accustomed to Eddie only calling him by nicknames – Stevie, big boy, Steve-o, doll, sweetheart, pretty boy, and so many others – that the day Eddie just… stops, hits him like a freight train. Steve doesn’t have time to examine why he’s bothered by the sudden change-up – he just knows he needs to get to the bottom of it. Because he's worried about his friend.

    Just his friend.

    Summary

    “It’s okay, you know,” Gareth says, propped up against the brick alley of the Hawk.

    Eddie’s crouched like a gremlin, shoveling popcorn into his mouth and trying to coax what he thinks is a cat out from under the dumpster. “What’s okay?” he says.

    “To like. Like him. Harrington,” Gareth says, shoving his hands in his pockets. “I’ve seen him at Melvald’s and he’s, like, weirdly charming to everyone. He even looks like he means it.”

    He does, Eddie thinks, which is what makes it so sinister. Whatever. This stretch of insanity will all be over with after the holidays, and he can go back to New York, live out his wildest dreams, and forget Steve Harrington ever took up any space in his brain at all.

    Or,

    Five years after the defeat of Vecna, Steve Harrington runs an animal sanctuary.

    Summary

    Regulus Black hates his brother and not even his love for James Potter is enough to make him stop. So what if every song he writes is about Sirius? It's not because he loves him. It's not.

    Or: the one where Regulus accidentally ends up famous for writing songs about his estranged brother, James intentionally becomes famous for writing songs about his best friend's childhood, and they really have no business falling in love.

    Summary

    “Okay,” Dean says, shoulders squaring like they’re going into some sort of battle. “So you’d—make the cut.” 

    “Yes.”

    “And then the grace would come out of me.” 

    “Correct.”

    Dean nods. He goes to one knee, then the next, kneeling in front of Castiel. Digging a pocket knife out of his front jeans pocket, Dean opens it up and flips it around handle-first, holding it out at the same time that he tilts his head for ear to meet shoulder, his neck bared.

    Castiel’s mind suddenly goes very blank, with a ringing in his ears.

    “Well?” Dean asks, his voice only slightly shaking. “You waitin’ for a written invitation?”
     
    -----

    After the possession, some of Michael's grace is still in Dean. Castiel offers to help him out.
