You Have Not Felt the Heat on the Patio by BeignetBenny

Summary
“What’d’ya say, puppy?” The name in his direction felt dirty. Almost viral. Like just the tone would make Eijirou sick with it. Like having Bakugou in front of him, liquor warmed and ghosted in the haze of cigarette smoke, wasn’t already enough to solve this desire. “Take the offer now before you lose it.”
He felt suddenly sexless in comparison to this man. Contained to something private and distant. He’s in this… perpetual state of wanting to be a part of something like this. To be held. To be possessed. He’d been told his whole life that he could not belong as he was. He had decentered his identity to be made tolerable, palatable, invisible.
But now?
Eijirou wanted to be seen.
“Yes, sir.”
Or; The Village in ‘77 is hot in every sense of the word and Eijirou wants it all. Except, he isn’t sure he’s ready for it yet. Until his friends bring him into his first ever leather bar and he meets Bakugou, an Old Guard with a mean streak and a black hanky in his left pocket. -

Summary
Steve likes guys. He's liked guys since forever. However, he's never liked a guy as much as he likes Eddie, and his pining is getting a little ridiculous considering he's 80% sure Eddie likes guys too.
So what does he do? Confess his feelings like a normal person? Date a girl who looks and acts conveniently like Eddie? Suffer endlessly and end up dying alone? No.
He's whipping out the hanky.

Summary
Ghost’s chuckle in response was telling, lacking any distinct warmth. “Not quite. As much as I appreciate you fixing my dress shoes, what I really want is a bit more… intimate. It means something different to me.”
“Intimate how?” The way he bites his lip and looks up pleading for more context should be illegal. It’s downright unfair how pretty he looks in this vulnerable liminal space.
“You were raised Catholic, weren’t you?” Soap’s not expecting a question in response to his own, let alone one so out of left field, and Ghost can sense the indignation forming on his lips before he even responds, so he moves before the bratting can begin in earnest. A firm hand pushes down on Soap’s shoulder and despite his confusion he allows it to lead him down onto his knees. Ghost doesn’t remove the hand, but does lift one boot and rests it on Soap’s firm thigh. “It's worship, Johnny.”
________________Or, the one where Soap accidentally stumbles into Ghost's leather fetish and gets in a bit over his head.

Summary
"The hanky code was a covert sartorial code used predominately by queer men in the 1970s and into the 1980s. Simply put, a bandana is worn in one's back pocket for the purposes of sexual signaling."
Steve gets high and asks a lot of questions. Eddie sees right through it.

Summary
“Look, I’m just asking, okay? Not– I don't mean anything by it. But, uh.” His eyes darted back and forth, then he leaned in close to Steve. Steve had gotten used to that, kind of. The guy had no concept of personal space. “Are you flagging?” Eddie finally finished.
Steve shook his head slowly, eyes narrowed. He had no idea what that meant. He had no answer. “What?”
Eddie leaned away from Steve, facing forward again and nodding. “Okay, got it. That answers my question. Carry on.”

Summary
“What’s that for?” Eddie settles back into the couch, pressing a hard line of heat against Steve’s shoulder.
“What’s what for?”
“The bandana in your back pocket. What’s it for?”
Eddie pauses, looks over at him and raises a pointed eyebrow. He shifts, turning his body towards Steve’s, pulling away in the process. Steve kind of misses the warmth.

“Light blue,” Toby says mildly. He glances down at Josh’s back left pocket, where he’s tucked a handkerchief so only an inch is hanging out. “I suppose I should be glad you’re not asking to be fisted at the middle of a presidential event, huh.”

Summary
Eddie Munson has no clue about the hanky code. Which becomes painfully clear when Steve Harrington—who’s been trying to flirt with him by showing up at Eddie's auto shop with increasingly suspicious car troubles—has to spell it out.
Turns out, Eddie might not know much about the hanky code—but he does know how to make Steve fall for him without even trying.
"You just said I was a bottom, out of the blue, on a Tuesday afternoon, and you're gonna tell me to forget it?"
"I just thought you were, like—signalling."
Eddie squints harder.
"Signalling?""Yeah?"
"Signalling what? That I need a better life because I dropped out of high school and work in a garage for pennies?"

Summary
“You know,” Steve focused his attention back to Eddie as he spoke. “There is a way to help break you away from the whole ‘King’ thing. If you wanted to,” He finished, raising his eyebrows up at the other.
Steve gave him a dubious look, not entirely trusting the look on his face.
“If you started hangin’ around the school freaks I don't think anybody would doubt that you’ve changed,” Eddie smirked, his eyes holding a slight challenge in them.
Halloween 1985 Steve Harrington runs into Eddie Munson after Nancy breaks his heart. What follows is not something anyone could have predicted.

Summary
Steve knew that he wasn't the most intelligent man in the world. He was never very academically gifted. He had never found any passion or hobby that required special knowledge. He didn't have any skills that set him apart from the majority, really. Something Steve did have, however, was social skills and he knew that he was good at reading people. So, he certainly never expected to be in a situation where Robin was explaining social cues to him.
Or: Robin makes an observation that leads to Steve's hot girl summer: the bisexual edition.

Summary
There are many ways to cope with grief, and Elder!Reader Mayfield is not sure where to start. She finds some solace in writing it all down, but it’s not enough.
Enter The Metalhead of Forest Hills Trailer Park to provide her with exactly what she needs to transform her tumultuous (and scary dark) emotions from paper into something real.
It works. The Elder Mayfield is on her way to healing, and perhaps, feeling something she wasn’t sure she was capable of feeling…
It’s too bad that high school hormones, jealous emotions, and Season Four gets in the fucking way.

My first fic EVER, based on the discography of Avenged Sevenfold. I’m convinced they wrote songs about this show in 2005. ❤️🔥 And I need you to know — all of the songs depicted are not my own. They’re solely the property of Matt, Brian, Jimmy, Zach, Johnny and Brooks. I figured you all knew that, but it’s worth saying again ❤️🔥

Summary
Steve Harrington isn’t an idiot, okay? Contrary to popular belief he does indeed think of stuff every now and again, and he pays attention. (Sometimes against his own better judgment) And in paying attention to things, he ends up creating a bigger problem. Curiosity.
And that’s currently how he’s gotten here. Eyeball deep in a magazine he had to drive to fucking Indianapolis to buy. He had to know, okay? Like. Really had to know. And did he have to buy a gay magazine that he called basically every sex store to look for? Yes, but he used a weird voice so like… that’s fine, nobody would know it was him. Shut up.
Or; Steve finds out Eddie’s into s&m. A love story. Lmao.

Summary
“Auntie Pezza, or Percy if you’re boring,” Pez grinned, gesturing to themself before their hand moved towards Henry, “Hen, Henry if you’re boring, or His Royal Highness Prince Henry if you’re really boring.”
“Oh shit, like the Prince of England, Prince Henry?” His eyebrows shot up and he grinned, “I didn’t expect you to be…”
“Gay?”
“Hot,” He snorted, looking Henry up and down in a way that made him feel like a piece of meat. He didn’t particularly dislike it, “I’m Alex. First Son Of The United States, if you’re boring.”
Pez laughed, and Henry let himself crack a grin before speaking, “Punk FSOTUS? Didn’t expect that one, I can’t lie.”
OR
Prince Henry meets Alex, the First Son Of The United States, at a very boring upper-class party, and spends the next few months planning to get this man into his bed.
