    Summary

    A door swings open further down the hall, revealing a cluttered bathroom counter and a mirror plastered with stickers.

    "I brush teeth!" Chirps a small voice with just a hint of a lisp, turning 'teeth' to 'teef'. There's a patter of socked feet on the tile floor, and then there he is.

    The sight punches the air from Castiel's lungs, the empty space filing with the purest joy he's felt in a long time, because Jack is so… little. So wonderfully, perfectly little. Young like the baby he never got to be, the life Castiel had imagined for him and grieved a hundred times over as he watched him forced to grow up too fast.

    Summary

    When Steve nearly runs over Will Byers on that fateful night in 1983, he doesn’t expect offering him a ride home would result in both of them being hunted into another dimension. Surviving there is hard. Adapting to normal life again is even harder. His old self settles like an ill-fitting suit, and there’s no room for nightmares and fear and his new bond with Will in it. As he struggles to find a new normal he can live with, Steve finds himself befriending a bunch of kids and maybe (definitely) falling in love with a local weed dealer.

    Summary

    Buck would rather stab himself in the neck with a fork, thrice, than let Maddie and Eddie say a single word to each other.

    His concern is that they will become friends. Allies. Allies United Against Buck. Comrades Who Know Too Much About Buck. A terrifying, powerful joint force that simply cannot ever exist.

    He will make sure of it.

     

    Or, so that Maddie and Eddie do not ever mingle, Buck meddles.

    Summary

    “You said you talked to Hen about”—Ravi makes a vague, conjuring gesture, even though Eddie can’t see it—“all this yesterday, right? She dresses the best out of all of us. You should ask her for fashion advice.”

    “I tried.” Eddie huffs. “She said, verbatim, ‘I’m not your gay Yoda.’”

    With that, the fitting room stall’s lock finally clicks open, the door swinging open with a muted groan. Eddie steps out, arms spread wide. “Alright. What do we think?”

    From an objective standpoint, he looks good. He looks really good. Objectively speaking.

    From a subjective standpoint, he looks like someone Buck wants to pin against the nearest surface and fuck until they’re both stupid.

    “Handsome, you are,” Buck croaks.

    Or: Eddie comes out to Buck and takes him clothes shopping.
