A Necklace Made Of Flowers From The Trash Can by Nicotine_phantom

Summary
“Nance?”
Wheeler stills with her hand on the doorknob, looking like a shellshocked private flung back into Saigon. Eddie’s hand slips from her shoulder, falling stiffly at his side.
The Dog in his brain perks up. It pants, instantly keen.
Groaning, he turns around and sees Steve Harrington peeking through the throng of partygoers. His eyes drift from the back of Wheeler's head to Eddie, and his relieved expression twists into recognition. Then, absolute befuddlement sinks into his face.
Eddie knows what it looks like, him taking Wheeler home. The beta dweeb freak that played Satanic board games in his spare time just swept an alpha’s girlfriend off her feet, whisking her away to his evil lair, no doubt to indoctrinate her into nefariously rolling a d-12 and screaming, I cast fireball!
First of all: not a beta, but no one needs to know that. Second of all: he didn’t sweep her off her feet. They were just bum-rushing out of a tight spot they found themselves in. Third of all: well. The Dog likes him.

Summary
“Woah, hello.” Steve’s hands fly off Eddie’s body, raising them to the air like he’s been caught red handed. Ass handed? Brown handed? No, that’s gross.
“Don’t fucking pout at me.”
“I’m not pouting.”
“You look like I just ran over your dog!”
Steve’s disappointed expression smooths into feigned nonchalance, lips pursed as his eyes drift over Eddie’s shoulder, even though he looked awfully devastated over the concept of Eddie needing his hands off him for, like, two seconds.
His eyes make their way back to Eddie’s, their gazes locking once more, and– ugh. There’s something mischievous about Steve’s newfound attention. His hand closes around Eddie’s jaw, thumb rubbing circles near the corner of his mouth “Don’t you want to come?”
“I do,” Eddie groans, because his resolve is like ash falling from a cigarette butt. So easy to flick off. “I really fucking do.”
(or: eddie gets wined and dined, then loses his v-card in an incredibly confident and not-at-all nerve-wracking manner.)

You Always Have My Unspoken Passion by Nicotine_phantom
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
There’s silence again, save for the faint breeze and crickets chirping in the brush ahead of Eddie.
Something plastic hits the ground. Steve mumbles, “Fuck.”
Actually, scratch that. Eddie has no idea what the Hell is going on.
The sound of Steve’s cursing nearly snaps Eddie out of his dread; its vice-grip loosening ever so slightly as Eddie presses his palm against his mouth, suppressing a laugh. Steve’s just so fucking goofy that he’s fumbling through trying to end his own almost-relationship. It makes Eddie feel a bit delirious.
There’s some vague shuffling from Steve, before something fucking weird happens.
The first thing Eddie notices is the clack of a cassette falling into a slot. A twinkling piano begins to fade in, single notes wandering into full on chords. Then, Billy fucking Joel starts to sing.
(or: steve resolves a lover's quarrel in a completely reasonable and super suave manner.)

Stand There, Looking Backwards (Half Unconcious From The Pain) by Nicotine_phantom
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
“I should go,” Eddie blurts out, standing up so quickly that the chair under him scrapes against the floor like nails on a chalkboard.
Just like that, the spell breaks, and Steve’s smile drops. His brow furrows incredulously. Standing as well, he says, “What? Why?”
If only Eddie could list the reasons.
Sorry Steve, I really thought you making sweet and passionate love to me meant something to you as it did to me, even a fucking modicum. You positively ripped my heart out of its cavity and jump-roped on its remains. Please excuse me so I can stagger out your front door and throw up into your mother’s rose bush.
(or: the morning after, and the days after that.)

Babylon, the Great by Nicotine_phantom

Summary
McVries, the immutable fucking bleeding heart, had decided to use up his wish right before the Major cocked the hammer backwards with his thumb.
He wished–no, begged, with his voice raw and uninhibited with panic–for Ray’s life. For a second winner of the Walk. Not a seat at the table, not ten naked ladies or a great big rocket to bring him to the moon, not even the carbine. But a life. Because, impossibly, Peter McVries saw a light in everything.
(or: years after the walk, ray and pete keep moving along)

Summary
Maybe he was cursed from day one, he thought, dropped into this glitter-tainted world with every dream possible lying at his feet, but still unsatisfied. Boys like him, who bled neon and were baptised in champagne and ecstasy, were supposed to feel like they could own the world, but Donnie Ali felt like the world crushed him under its weight.
---
Donnie Ali is way too famous for his own good. Jensen Endo is way too lost for his own good.
After A-lister Donnie's inevitable breakup with his girlfriend, he's en route from Wyoming to Hollywood with a broken heart and an even worse reputation. Then fate comes crashing into his life in the form of a once-missing child with a switchblade and a stab wound in his gut colliding into the hood of his car. It soon becomes Donnie's duty to take Jensen to California to pick up the remnants of his life. But Donnie's blood and gold can't keep Jensen safe from the people he's running from.
