Summary
Wayne Munson wasn't born yesterday.
He knows full well that his nephew, his boy, is far gone for the Harrington kid. Knows it in the way he sighs, the way he drapes himself over the couch. Knows it in the way lyrics pour out of Eddie's room while he tries to write songs (just last Tuesday he heard Eddie muttering goddammit what rhymes with chest hair from behind his bedroom door).
or: Eddie deserves love. And Wayne figures that a few gentle nudges wouldn't hurt.

Summary
“Hey, Munson?”
Eddie turned and Steve was there, in his space, leaning forward until Eddie was pressed back into the kitchen island.
He could smell Steve’s cologne, could see the moles and freckles across his face, could taste the air around him, like honey and butter and frosting. And then Steve reached out and pressed his fingers to Eddie’s chest, drawing back just as quickly, leaving Eddie’s skin warm and tingling.
He’d also left something else on Eddie’s shirt.
He barely registered what had happened until he was sitting back down, and Dustin's eyes were on him along with the rest of the kids.
"No fair!" Dustin pointed, scowling at Eddie's shirt. "How come you got that one!"
"Uh," said Eddie and looked down.
I Did an Amooooozing Job Today! said a cow in a cowboy hat.
or: Eddie Munson was doing his best to push down his absolutely tragic crush on Steve Harrington. He'd been doing a pretty good job of it, too.
And then Steve brought out the goddamn stickers.

The Four Stages of Trauma Recovery, as told by Dr. A Burdett by Humanities_Handbag
Fandoms: Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)
24 Jan 2022

Summary
Tom and Maddie Wachowski were, by far, the most puzzling clients Dr. Alice Burdett ever had. One was a police officer. The other a vet. They were a loving couple living a modest life a few towns over in Green Hills. A town that had recently stopped giving out information to anyone beyond its borders.
And they'd come in to discuss their son.
They didn't give her a name. They didn't tell her what he looked like. Only that he needed help.
Dr. Alice Burdett had been a therapist long enough to identify trauma. And their child was absolutely, totally, and significantly traumatized. And she could work with that.
"Right," she said, clicking her pen, watching the helpless parents over her notebook. "Let's start at the beginning."

Summary
Merlin is so gone for Arthur. For years now, in fact. It would be embarrassing, if he wasn’t almost completely sure Arthur felt something for him too.
Until the day Arthur Finds Out.
It’s not that he hadn’t imagined a bad scenario of Arthur finding out. He had. Of course, he had. But more so that Arthur would send him away, or sack him, or…well. He supposed he didn’t have any scope of imagining that Arthur could look so horrified, and be looking at Merlin, at the same time.
-
Or, 4 times Arthur failed to understand, and 1 time he did.

Summary
“Truth spell,” Merlin said. “The sorcerer from earlier, the one in the woods. The dust he threw over us.”
“You should go tell the others,” Arthur said.
“I can’t.”
“Why not?”
“I’m under the spell too.”
Arthur raised an eyebrow. “And you’re in the habit of lying?”
“Yes,” Merlin said helplessly.

Summary
Nick shrugged, leaning closer to Judy. "Look me in the eye and tell me you wouldn't sell me for one of his pies.”
“I'd sell you for a half eaten Klondike bar," Judy shot back.
~~~A story in which our favorite cop duo solve a case, unravel a mystery, meet a celebrity, start dating, grow their family, and show us why their relationship is so much fun.
This fic has been 2 years in the making! I was inspired to write after reading Guardian Blue, and I hope people can find an escape from life for a bit in my fic, the same way I was able to find escape in his when I had my own difficulties.
