    Summary

    Bodhi was fine just drifting through his life, with no end goal in sight- really, he was. He had his music, he had school, he had his (terrible)job, and that was enough. He didn't particularly think he deserved more than that, honestly.

    And then, of course, Solo had the nerve to drag a freshman named Luke into his coffee shop, and throw that all to hell.

     

    (AKA the college/coffee shop/pop-punk AU that literally no one asked for, but I'm doing it anyway)

    Summary

    He thought he’d hidden these feelings from himself, stowed them away in some dark corner and learned not to think about it. But the second Eddie peeked in from around the corner at the Jade and looked at Richie with those big, limpid pools of Christmas Orphan meets Bambi, and started rambling about gluten and cashews, it all came flooding back into focus. Richie has loved Eddie so long that it’s become an ache that goes beyond reason.

    Summary

    “You should ask me," Eddie said, “if you want to do something different.”

    “I don’t want to do something different,” Richie said, a hot feeling at the back of his neck. “I like what we do. What we do is fine.”

    Or: When you're an ex-closeted gay man in his forties recovering from a twenty-seven-year void of intimacy and enough trauma to last a lifetime, asking for what you want isn't something that happens overnight.
