The Better Part of Valor by Roselightfairy for The_Dwelf

Summary
Gimli’s friendship with Legolas is accepted if disliked; his reverence for Galadriel understood if mistrusted . . . but there is only so much liberty a lord of a new dwarven colony may be allowed. In a world unforgiving of the depth of their love, the only thing Gimli can think to do is deny it, even if that means breaking both of their hearts.
Or so he thinks. But when he sees the depth of his friend’s heartbreak, he knows some other solution must be found instead.

all that it touches to wonder by cynassa

Summary
Life after war has much more politics than Gimli thought, and much less Legolas than he would like, but the latter he knows (or believes) he has to get used to. Or: Legolas leaps, occasionally stumbling, into a new age, while Gimli can't see the wood for the (green)leaf.
"How do your people court then?"
The question was not as abrupt as it would seem, firstly because the news that his brother was courting had clearly left Legolas in deep thought for a number of days, secondly because Legolas had long ago confessed his curiosity about the lives and customs of Gimli's kin, and thirdly because Legolas' grace was well-known to be in his light feet and not his manners.
However, Gimli saw no reason to let him have his own way entirely. "And by my people do you mean the Longbeards, or the Dwarves of Erebor, or the wandering mender that I now seem to be?"
"I meant," Legolas said, "wandering jesters."

Summary
“What the fuck just happened there?”
“I could ask you the same thing, Harrington,” Eddie hisses, jabs a finger into Steve’s chest. “Did you honestly bring me along as your plus one? To a date? With a guy who really thinks the Sex Pistols were on to something?”
“What,” a date? Plus one? Steve doesn’t even know where to start. “What is a sex pistol?”
“What,” Eddie says, parroting Steve’s confused tone back at him in a way that sounds unfairly boneheaded, “am I doing here,
Steve?”

Summary
“Do you wanna tell me?”
“That depends, on if you’d wanna know,” Eddie replied in his most seasoned theatrical voice. Sometimes it was hard to remember Eddie played pretend almost for a living, and other times it was impossible to forget.
“Doesn’t matter,” Steve said.---
It is June the ninth, 1986, and Steve Harrington has now lived through four world-shattering and world-saving events. The most surprising development of his life this summer, however, is the fact that he's currently lounging around outside with Eddie Munson listening to him prattle on about who knows what. The most surprising development of his life is that he's enjoying it.Series

Need Brooks no Delay, but Late is Better Than Never by etlabete
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
19 Oct 2022
Tags
Summary
The year is 2001. The Fellowship of the Ring is out in theaters, and Steve is being dragged along to the supposed most important day of Dustin's life.
The thing is, Eddie Munson's coming, too, and Steve hasn't spoken to him in nearly six years. Not since misaligned feelings and an ill-timed love confession created a rupture Steve didn't know how to repair.
“We just drifted apart, man. That’s all.”
Dustin sighs dramatically. “Was it because you figured out you liked dudes and freaked out?”
Steve winces. It’s a joke. He can tell by Dustin’s tone, knows he likes to poke fun about Steve’s sexuality after he identified as a self-proclaimed ladies' man for so long, but it’s never come up this way before. Steve could deflect, but something in him shifts and instead he says, “More like because I figured it out too late.”
“Ooooooh,” Dustin breathes, and Steve can all but imagine the lightbulb flashing to life above his head. It makes Steve think of Dustin’s old hat with THINKING CAP on the front. “Oh my god, that makes so much more sense."

Summary
It’s not like Steve thought Eddie would stay single forever, but he figured he’d have a girlfriend by the time Eddie got a boyfriend. So, when Vickie and Robin set Eddie up on a blind date with Vickie’s cousin, Steve figures he feels weird about it because he’s the only one without a date.
But an annoying little voice starts telling him maybe there’s more to it than that. He just has to figure out what it is.

Summary

Summary
Spider-Man keeps knocking on Eddie's window, is the thing. Eddie's not sure what the guy's looking for, be it the company, or a warm place to stay for a couple hours, but begrudgingly, he finds himself leaving the window unlocked before going to bed.
Or, the one where Eddie's a little bit in love with Steve Harrington, and starts bitching about it with the kind, if a bit cagey, vigilante, Spider-Man.

Summary
It's just that Steve likes to take care of people. He likes to be needed.
And God, does Eddie need him right now.
So, they'd started this weird codependent sleep thing with the best of intentions. A way to find comfort, to get rest, to process what happened to them with someone who understood, who they didn't have to lie to.
That's all it was meant to be.

Summary
Steve starts unpacking everything out of the shopping bags with the urgent efficiency of someone building a sandcastle as the tide comes in. It all happens so abruptly, Eddie actually wonders if Vecna’s back and he should jump into high alert as well.
“Steve?” Eddie asks, cautious and the immediate tightening of Steve’s jaw is all the indication he needs. Vecna isn’t the case. And Steve doesn’t seem to be injured either. Eddie’s fucked up somehow. “Is everything okay?”
(or; Eddie encourages Steve to get back together with Nancy one too many times and Steve doesn't take it well)

Summary
In the aftermath of Vecna Eddie can't seem to stop himself flirting with Steve. In the space of a single conversation he's told the guy to keep the jacket, compared himself to a fair maiden, and fucking winked apparently! Surely there's still some monsters left so he can fling himself into the upside-down and not have to face how embarassing he's being.
Steve is certain that all the feelings he's been having about Eddie are platonic with a captial P. True, he can't stop looking at the guy, and touching him, and thinking about how pretty he is and how soft his hair looks- But that's all totally normal friend stuff. Totally, completely, normal.
A fic exploring how the aftermath of vol. 2 could have gone had Vecna been defeated a few minutes earlier. Featuring Eddie's disaster flirting, The Jacket, Steve and Robin playing detective about Steve's sexuality, a Bi-awakening, Steve and Eddie co-parenting six children, and everyone else's reactions to the whole mess.
