Summary
It feels all so very alien, connecting with his old man like this at the grand age of 32, but Bruce slips into place as if this was natural to him. That thought alone makes him so angry and resentful. Because why couldn’t it have been that way all along?
Or: Bruce sits on his father's lap, and many tears are shed.

Summary
At nineteen years old, Alex had been a kid who had turned his back on the life his parents mapped for him: Georgetown, then law school, then politics – just like his mother and father. Instead, he’d taken his guitar and the songs he couldn’t stop writing and told them, this is what I want. Then Bruce Springsteen pulled him on stage and launched his career as a world-famous singer/guitarist.
Now he was twenty-eight, the world-famous “ACD,” his face on billboards from Tokyo to Paris to New York. When he and Henry meet and fall in love, the spotlight and touring life became too much for Henry. So Henry leaves, ends the relationship and breaks both their hearts. When Alex steps back into the Jersey Shore bar where it all started for him, he's at a crossroads. Which spotlight will shine brighter: his career or his love for Henry?
EDIT: Now with Chapter 2 showing Henry's POV :)

[podfic] 'cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run by deepestbluesky
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
12 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
Podfic of 'cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run by stellarpoint (pettifogger). Author's original summary:
Realization #1: Steve is wearing a costume. He’s dressed as Springsteen on the cover of Born In The U.S.A. The album cover is staring at Eddie from the stack of records by the speakers, and he flicks his eyes between the cover and Steve, almost laughing at how obvious the resemblance is.
Immediately after that, revelations two and three slam into him like an eighteen-wheeler.
#2: Bruce Springsteen is kind of hot.
#3: Steve Harrington is really hot.
A fourth and much louder thought echoes through Eddie’s brain: oh, shit.
