    Summary

    Eddie hadn't spoken a single word to him since showing up on his doorstep with nothing but the clothes on his back and a single, half-empty backpack, about a week ago.
    Wayne had never considered himself to be a particularly patient person, but apparently he wasn't too old to learn something new about himself, because he was. He was so very patient with the boy.
    When he talked to the kid and received nothing but vague head movements or the occasional grunt for an answer, Wayne didn't press, didn't push, didn't do anything but accept that this was how they communicated for now, and it wasn't fine, exactly, but Wayne could wait.

    Summary

    It was strange.

    Summary

    On their first night at Camp Alpine Lake, Finney can’t sleep. Haunted by memories of the basement and desperate for a moment of calm, he slips outside into the freezing Colorado night to smoke alone. But Robin follows him out, quiet, steady, understanding. Without words, they share the joint, the silence, and eventually soft laughter beneath falling snow. For a brief moment, the weight of the past fades, replaced by warmth and the comfort of not being alone.

    A Camp Alpine Lake AU where they are all counselors and have not met before. Finney Blake is the only one to have been kidnapped.

    Summary

    “The car,” Finney’s words falter slightly—he rests his forehead against the scratched interior of the phone box, watches the way his breath mists up the glass as though those two movements collectively might erase just how humiliating it is to ask for help like this.

    It doesn’t work. Finney holds the phone tighter. “It just stopped, like, completely. I can’t make it start, Rob, I don’t know what the fuck’s goin’ on but—”

    A soft chuckle drifts from the other end of the line; slow and warm, syrupy and sweet in a way that makes Finney want to punch the shit out of him, but also makes something tighten and swirl low in his chest. Robin is infuriating and he’s also really hot, and Finney swears to God that in moments like these ones? He fucking hates Robin Arellano.

    Or; Finney's car breaks down, and Robin fixes it.

    Summary

    Before Finn could rise to his feet, Ernesto blurted out, “Can I ask another question?”

    Finn ground his molars, already hitting his limit on vulnerability for the month, but nodded.

    “Why don’t you like me? I-I mean, beyond just the whole…concert date-thing, with Gwen.” When Finn didn’t reply right away, Ernesto blustered. “It’s just, if I did or said anything rude or—or disrespectful, I’d like to know, so I can fix it.”

    Because whenever I look at you and Gwen, I think of the future that motherfucker stole from me and Robin. You two are everything we can never be, and it hurts like hell.
