Summary
There is something sickly in the passage of time.
Time is a rot. A disease or a plague, a festering in your very being that blurs the past until it is tainted with the present. Until the present is tainted with the future.
The Greeks were well aware of this sickness, for all their depictions of time, while divine, were also rotted.AKA
Apollo is the god least touched by the passage of time, yet the one most affected by it.
There's so much of the present that he could change.AKA

Summary
Rockstar Eddie Munson needs a fake boyfriend after a scandal; enter high end escort Steve Harrington. Unfortunately Eddie's heart didn't get the memo on the 'fake' part of the deal, while the more time he spends with Steve the deeper he falls, the closer he gets to something that looks a whole lot darker than a college student just trying to pay off his student loans.
“For you, your highness.” Eddie bent at the waist as he offered the cheap stuffed animal.
Steve’s eyes went wide, but he accepted the little stuffed animal, holding it up for inspection. Some of the stitches were visible and his eyes were lopsided, but it didn’t change the way Eddie’s heart stuttered as Steve very gently touched its nose against his own, holding it like it were an actual small creature and not cotton and thread.
“What’s his name?”
“Bernard,” Steve said with such confidence that Eddie couldn’t help laughing.
“What?” Steve said, looking mildly affronted.
Eddie grinned. “No, it’s a great name, Bernard the Bat. Berry for short even.”
Steve crossed his arms, but with the stuffed animal it looked more like he was hugging it to his chest.
“Slushies?” Eddie said before he could do anything stupid.
