Summary
Sirius spits the entire mouthful of curry out so dramatically that it scatters across the table and lands right in front of James’s bowl.
Remus almost chokes on his wine and his glass hits the table with force; Regulus would scold him if he weren’t preparing for mortification and death. “Padfoot!” Remus scolds. “What in the—”
Sirius hacks out a cough. “The f’ck—!” He’s scraping rapidly at his tongue with a napkin. Then spits in his bowl. Regulus is offended. “What the fuck is this?”
Regulus slams his fork on the table. “Okay—”
[Or, Regulus tries to cook dinner for himself, James, Sirius, and Remus. He makes a mistake—but he's trying, okay!]

Summary
Regulus pulls his cape closer around his shoulders, pinching it tighter under his chin and peering out from beneath the low hood. Dark fabric and concealing shadows; this is where Regulus finds his solace. And he follows muddy boots and a tall silhouette on instinct, past labourers and farmers and vagabonds, and smoke that leaves the mouths of those who glance with dead and barely curious eyes.
There’s vague murmurings that disappear into the wind—Regulus is used to this—yet one sharp, bitter comment stands out amongst the rest: “Is that a Black? Disgustin’. Foul creature—”
Regulus falters in his step. His heart skips a beat of panic. A heavy arm slips around his shoulders.
“C’mon,” James murmurs. Regulus’s knight. “Not far now.” He doesn't stray from Regulus's side.
One step. Two steps. Breathe. Don’t look up. Another step. A fourth. Stay together. Safety. With him.
[Or, The kingdom of Grimmauld is dreary and crumbling, rotting from the inside out, and kept barely functioning by the ruling House of Black. It is a responsibility and heartache that Regulus Black never wants to inherit.]

Summary
“What’s going on in that head of yours, Buckley?” Eddie’s voice, coupled with a teasing glower and eyes lit with amusement, pulls Buck out of his daze.
“Uh—huh? Oh, nothing—yeah. It’s nothing.”
Eddie scoffs. He buckles his belt, brushes down his trousers, and wanders back over to Buck’s side of the bed. He sits down, tucking one socked foot beneath him, and chuckles. He’s bathed in the afternoon sun and—he’s fucking dazzling.
“You,” Eddie says, taking Buck’s chin in hand and nudging it up just slightly, “are a terrible liar.” He ducks down and meets Buck’s lips in a kiss; one that’s soft in comparison to those they shared the night before.
[Or, Buck and Eddie bask in a moment of sweet domesticity, and Eddie is overcome by an emotional realisation of 'finally' that comes alongside one's gay awakening.

Summary
“You deserve to live, you know,” Richie said.
His palm was a warm promise against Eddie’s skin. Eddie shifted closer so that their noses touched, and his gaze flicked to Richie’s lips—soft and tinted. Richie’s other hand moved to rest on Eddie’s waist.
“You can have anything you want,” Richie whispered. “Just let go.”
Eddie's gaze flicked up to Richie’s eyes. “I want this."
[Or, The Age of Adaline AU. Edward Kaspbrak stopped ageing at 30 years old, in 1955, and was clueless as to why. Thus, he stopped living and spent his decades running. At a New Year's party in 2020 he met Richard Tozier, and what ensued after was a string of events that one might call a love song.]

Summary
There’s a bag of peas in the freezer for the nights like this.
The nights when Eddie doesn’t know when to quit and says the wrong thing to the wrong person.
The nights when Steve isn’t there to step in and stop it before it ends with fists flying and a body hitting the ground.
“What happened this time?” Steve asks as he presses the frozen bag to Eddie’s swollen and bruised cheekbone.

Summary
Eddie gets overstimulated while DMing and Robin talks him through the aftermath.
(only tagged as Steddie because that’s the usual audience I write for and there's the tiniest of hints of it but it doesn’t have to be read that way)

Summary
"No but seriously, baby. You are sure about this, right? There's no going back after."
Eddie thinks for a moment, not because he's having doubts, just to let the finality of Steve's words settle. He is right; after tonight, the whole world will know who Eddie belongs to. They'll know Steve's name, and his face, and-
"I should be asking you the same. Do you really want to give up your privacy for a life in the spotlight? I mean- I want nothing more than to show you off. But you have more to lose than me."
Steve pulls him closer, placing a soft kiss on his lips that instantly melts Eddie's worries away.
"Never been more sure about anything in my life. I'm yours, Eddie. And I can't wait to show everyone how much I love you."
