Summary
“We may have a problem.”
Kaveh tilts his head. He follows the grout-line between the tiles with the sole of his shoe subconsciously, grounding himself in the repetitive motion.
Nasir continues with a sigh. “It seems that the Acting Grand Sage intends to decline our request for funding.”
“Ah. That’s… unfortunate.” Kaveh speaks slowly, carefully concealing his initial reaction. This isn’t the first he’s heard of this, but he didn’t consider it to be an actual, real possibility. He’s both shocked and utterly unsurprised at the same time. “But what does that have to do with me, specifically?”
“You know the Acting Grand Sage, do you not?”
A simple question with a complicated answer.
Kaveh is tasked with securing the funding for Kshahrewar from the Acting Grand Sage. Things get complicated.

Summary
“Childe.” Zhongli speaks his name with such terrible fondness, full-bodied and replete with amusement. “You and I both know how insatiable you are.”
He teases a finger over the curve of Childe’s ear and follows it along his jawline, skims lower to catch his fluttering pulse. Childe leans in despite himself. “Given that we happen to be here and so too are the Captain, the Doctor, and the Regrator—”
“Hold on,” Childe interrupts. “Let me get this straight: you want to watch me get fucked by the Harbingers?”
Zhongli laughs again. It’s achingly sincere. “That is a bit more crass of a phrase than I would have chosen, but yes.”
Or, Zhongli loves watching Childe fall apart to pleasure, so he offers to organize him an orgy. You know, just a thoughtful romantic gesture.

Summary
It’s probably going to go down in history as the worst kiss Steve Harrington ever got, but Eddie doesn’t give a fuck. He isn’t going to get another chance so he’s working with what he’s got. It’s less of a kiss, and more of a slide of lips, wet with blood and tears but he feels Harrington’s grip tighten on the back of his shirt and he pulls back. He reaches up with the hand he can still feel and pushes back a strand of hair that had fallen in Steve’s face, smearing blood along his temple as he does.
“Sorry. Couldn’t die without knowing what that felt like.”

Summary
"Steve 'the Hair' Harrington, a rage-filled barbarian, who knew?" Eddie says, like its a compliment, like Steve has ANY idea what that means.
"Uh, I knew. Obviously." Steve says, wisely, even though he clearly didn't. "Anyway, do you think we could eat a demobat? Or would we turn into some kind of monstrous freak? I'm starving, and Dustin's cheese crackers are not enough to get me on my feet again."
"What difference does it make to me if I'm a human freak or a monster one?" Eddie shrugs, and Steve butts his shoulder up against Eddie. It's meant to be brotherly, maybe friendly, but it's too soft. Felt like something he might have done before slinging an arm around a girl's shoulders.
"You're not a freak." Steve says, and finds he means it.
Eddie's eyes, when he looks at Steve, are curious. "No?"
"No."

Summary
Eddie and Steve have been spending a lot of time together since Vecna. They're co-parenting kids, getting high every night, and sleeping in the same bed. They basically share a wardrobe too.
He thinks this is dangerous, its like they’re married, the casual sharing of intimacy, this space between them which feels like something and nothing all at the same time. He thinks it’s dangerous for him to pretend Steve sees it the same way, that one day Steve’s droopy, kind eyes are going to see right through him and he’ll lose this. This being a side of Steve’s bed that is his, a nightstand where his rings always pile, a drawer of shirts in Steve’s bedroom that only Eddie uses. He can’t lose it, so he shuts his mouth, turns out the light, and watches the slow breathing of sleep fill Steve’s chest.

Summary
N’Jadaka didn’t believe in the gods of his people. But belief was not a prerequisite of the gods’ attention, and the blood of the Panther tribe ran in N’Jadaka’s veins. Bast took hold of his soul in her mighty jaws and lifted it free of his body. She gave him a warning shake, just as she would a misbehaving kitten, and set him back. With one careful claw, she tweaked his path through time into a twisting loop. Wayward and abandoned though he was, N’Jadaka was still of her tribe. He could set things right, if given the chance.
Erik gets a do-over. Erik gets a lot of do-overs. Or: Erik Killmonger's own personal version of Groundhog Day, only with a lot more murder, dying, trips to the ancestral plane, awkward family conversations, and divine intervention.

Summary
It will do Ayato’s worries some good to part Thoma from Itto for a while. Still, he wonders if it’s too cruel to make Thoma trek across Narukami and back after the night he'd surely had with Itto.
But then, Thoma breaks into a light jog, and Ayato thinks maybe Itto didn’t fuck him hard enough after all.
It’s a complicated relationship between Kamisato Ayato and Thoma—a simmering, unspoken tension that spans for years between a lord and his favorite retainer.
Then, Arataki Itto barrels in by accident and simplifies it. Sort of.
( In which Itto brings a level of emotional intelligence that two very smart men lack. )

Summary
He attempts to meld the incoherent thoughts into a statement that he hopes Lucas doesn’t find condescending. “I mean, you’re really young. Being young is about not having to be crushed by responsibilities and shit, you know? I’m not saying you never help out your friends, obviously, but sometimes you just gotta be a kid and let someone older handle some of it.”
“Steve, I’m technically a sophomore in high school now. That’s how old Nancy and Jonathan were when Will went missing, which means I’m only a year younger than you were when you fought the demogorgon.”
Oh, Steve feels nauseous.
