Summary
Steve Harrington didn’t know what love was. He thought he did, a few times. He thought he loved his nanny the way his mother didn’t love him. He thought he loved Nancy the way he hadn’t loved someone else before her. He was wrong about that though, so how would he really know? He didn’t think he’d know what love was if it shoved itself in his face, called him an idiot, and bit him. He knew what love wasn’t, and that didn’t seem good enough. But when he was surrounded by club lights and the alcohol swam through his head, he felt like maybe he could learn, or least pretend for the night until he didn’t feel alone anymore; until he drove himself home in the early morning and felt the ache in his bones that said someone had been there with him, if only for a moment.

Summary
“I never lied. I didn’t tell you the whole truth, but I never lied.” Sirius stresses the distinction, his eyes wide, searching Remus’s face for something—Remus doesn’t know what.
✨✨✨
People don’t usually kiss their robbers, but this one is just a bit too persistent…
Sirius Black has escaped his parents’ exploiting claws and is trying to survive the London streets. When his desperate attempt at armed robbery backfires, he comes up with a slightly illegal business plan involving the very shop assistant he tried to rob.
Former elite swimmer Remus Lupin works a mindless job after losing his university stipend, still hanging on the hook of his nasty ex and with no clear prospects for the future. Could this young, reckless would-be robber turn out to be exactly what he needs?
✨✨✨
Muggle AU set in London
Remus is a former swimmer, Sirius is … troubled ;)

Summary
And logically—a small part of him knew this would happen, it was bound to. He's not stupid. The world isn't big enough, not really. Not Hawkins, with its one diner and two gas stations and too many ghosts. It's just a handful of streets dressed up like a town. So yeah, maybe he knew. Maybe some night, some drop, the universe would fold in on itself for a third time and bring the two of them together again.
But Steve doesn't even has time to sweat, to breathe before Eddie's voice is cutting the air in two, sharp and angry.
"What the fuck are you doing here?"
OR: they were always going to crash into each other again. it just wasn’t supposed to be like this (and it definitely wasn't supposed to involve Eddie's revolver).
OR OR: my big fic for the sandpit universe that brings our boys together again!!Series

Summary
"Yeah and I dunno', I've never done it before," Steve whispers, still fiddling with the cuff of his shirt. "I don't wanna mess it up."
Eddie swallows hard, tongue stuck to the roof of his mouth. He wants to say a million things. That Derek's an idiot. That Steve shouldn’t let someone like that kiss him. Shouldn't let anyone kiss him.
Instead, he says, “It’s not that hard.”
Steve glances at him sideways. "You've done it?"
He shrugs. "Yeah, once."
Liar.
"Can you show me?" Steve asks, voice barely louder than the crickets.
