Summary
When he looks back at her, she’s biting down on her bottom lip again. There’s something sparkling in her eyes—something dangerous, somehow. Something that looks like the worst idea either of them had the entire evening, and that says something.

Summary
Eddie shifts in his seat, drums his fingers against the table. “Look,” he says, “I have this policy where I don’t pry, but it’s just that like, you’re Chrissy Cunningham, you know? Total goody two shoes. And if you want something stronger, I’ll help you, I swear, just…” He pauses again. “Have you tried taking the edge off the old-fashioned way?”
It takes an embarrassingly long moment for her to get it, but when she does, she can feel herself blushing, furious and blotchy all the way up to the roots of her hair.
“Oh,” she squeaks out. “You mean like— like? Sex?”

Summary
The old wiring in the payphone made Robin's voice crackle and pop. "You've got to be kidding me."
"I'm not," Chrissy whispered. Across the service station, Eddie was talking animatedly to the woman who appeared to run the place. It was unlikely he could hear anything she said, but still, she kept her voice low. "His van broke down—"
"This like a goddamned movie!" Robin crowed. Chrissy could almost hear her roommate pacing around their apartment. "You run into the love of your life—"
Chrissy nearly dropped the phone. "We were just friends!"
"Me and Steve are just friends. You and Eddie are more like star-crossed lovers or ships in the night or something."
Cheeks flaming, Chrissy shot a glance over at Eddie again. He was looking at her–shit–and smiled when she caught his gorgeous gaze. Her heart did a series of pirouettes and backflips as she tried to grin back without drooling. She wasn't sure she managed it, so she returned to the phone.
"I just wanted to tell you that I might be out late. That's all."
Robin's tone was just this side of condescending. "I'm pretty sure you found exactly what you want on the side of I-65."- Language:

Summary
Eddie never was a planner, but his new life necessitates having some idea of where he’s going, and when he’ll get there. He’d like to think that makes him more mature, but he’s still flying by the seat of his pants when it comes to the big picture. Getting his CDL was a way to escape Hawkins. To see the country, even if he’s mostly seeing long, lonely stretches of interstate in between depots.
There are bright spots. Hazy desert sunrises that make him want to write a sad song, and the occasional free evening to take in a show, meet some locals. Follow a pretty girl to her apartment if she’ll have him.
Most of the time, though, life comprises shitty diner burgers and far too little sleep. It's a lonely existence, but it suits him fine, until the night a strawberry-blonde ponytail at a gas station in Kentucky stops him in his tracks.

Summary
“Perhaps you should take a seat,” said Violet.
Colin wouldn't remember the details of what his mother told him next. He would remember her hand warm on his knee, her eyes wide with concern, her voice gentle as velvet. All of it in stark contrast to the devastating news she shared.
Penelope was ruined.

as pure as I need you to be by framboise
Fandoms: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes - Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games (Movies)
17 Nov 2023

Summary
Can you make a man good? Can you inspire a man to goodness? To purity?
A man who kills for you— is that purity? Purity of purpose, of love, of obsession perhaps.
'You were the first man who had me, you know that,' she murmurs as he clutches her close in his bed, as her legs lift higher around his hips.
'I know,' he grunts.
'So I'm yours now, aren't I?' she says, trying not to make it sound like a plea. More like an oath.

“Okay,” he said under his breath as he approached the board with the printed cast list stapled right in the center. “What am I supposed to be—”
Eddie’s heart stopped beating. His mouth ran dry, and his jaw dropped a fraction of an inch.
“Oh, you’ve gotta be fucking kidding me.”

Summary
Just the sight of her name on his lock screen is enough to make Jeff shift into an upright position on the sofa. Of course, it isn’t like they never talk. Sure, it’s been awhile, but she’s been busy with her career, and then there’s the time difference, of course…
Jeff is still staring at the lock screen on his phone when it abruptly goes dark as it automatically shuts off. However, before he can thumb the screen back on, it vibrates in his hand and lights up once again and, instantly, his heart begins to pound in his chest.
(Seven years after Annie leaves Greendale, she comes back for the holidays.)

Let Me Be Damned by broomclosetkink for DeliriumsDelight7, Maebe
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
Eddie finds the book in this thrift shop like an hour outside of town. Sometimes he just drives somewhere, anywhere, on any road, just to see what he can find. Most towns are even smaller and shittier than Hawkins, but not always. He likes to go to thrift stores and shit, because he can find some seriously interesting stuff. He’s something of a magpie, always collecting shiny things.
It’s on an old school desk, the heavy wrought iron and hardwood kind. It’s half on top of an old chalk slate, the sort that people used in school before paper was easily bought. It has a gnarly old cover, heavy, faded red leather and heavy scrolls of dirty gold. It has a weird…sigil or symbol or…something stamped on the front of it. Three crescent moons interlock, under a second set of crescent moons, under a third set of crescent moons, each larger than the last.
It looks fucking rad.

Summary
"Chrissy?" She instantly reacted to the sound of her name, head jerking to look over her shoulder. Nobody. She wasn’t too fazed, though. Her name was common enough, the call was probably meant for someone else. The students' center was plenty full, there was bound to be another Chrissy in the crowd. But still, that voice sounded so familiar yet so out-of-reach as to why, like returning to a place you’ve only ever been to in a dream. "Chrissy Cunningham, is that you?" She whipped back around to face the tables, eyes scanning the room to spot whoever it was that just called out her full name. Her eyes locked on one Eddie Munson, beaming at her with his hands on his hips.

Neither of them expected to be reunited in Boston. Neither of them knew that the other was going to college there. Isn't it funny how life works?
