    Summary

    “Hey,” he responds quietly. His eyes drift upwards but never quite reaching her face. “I… Dustin said I should talk to you.”

    Robin takes a deep breath. It’s okay, she can do this. “Yeah. I thought maybe you needed to talk to someone who understands what it’s like to be different.”

    Will’s eyes finally meet hers. They’re so big and sad, and Robin, who has never once felt a twinge of maternal instinct, wants to take this kid and wrap him up in a blanket.

    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

    Mike doesn't know when he started caring why Steve and Eddie are friends now, but Dustin has made him curious. Eddie and Steve were enemies before, sort of. So why are they now best friends? They've just got to do a bit of surveillance to work this puzzle out. If Mike accidentally finds out he has feelings for his best friend along the way then... well, shit.

    “At least I’m not using binoculars.” Mike shoots a derisive look over at Dustin. “Like we’re not in the middle of the high street, if they spot us how are you going to explain away those, huh?”

    “Bird watching,” says Dustin. “My new hobby.”

    Lucas punches him on the arm. “God you’re so fucking stupid.”

    “You gave them to me!”

    Summary

    Trinity tries not to think about her ghosts as she shows Dennis around, vaguely gesturing to his new room and the embarrassingly bare kitchen and living room. And she definitely tries not to think about how, in another faraway universe, her ghosts wouldn’t be ghosts but just a girl who got her chance to grow up instead.

    Or

    Trinity Santos, her roommate situation, her ghosts, and the relationships in between.

    Summary

    Eddie is entirely aware that he could find a more conservative church, much like those in El Paso where priests are not afraid to rebuke the gay plague and invite prayer for those burdened by such sickness. He knows this, but immediately pushes the idea from his mind each time: it's not what he wants. Not really.

    Leaving the church is always easier than entering, the heavy doors pushing Eddie out, pushing him away.

    ------

    Or: Eddie navigates his Catholic guilt as it clashes with his feelings for his best friend
