Summary
The year is 2001. The Fellowship of the Ring is out in theaters, and Steve is being dragged along to the supposed most important day of Dustin's life.
The thing is, Eddie Munson's coming, too, and Steve hasn't spoken to him in nearly six years. Not since misaligned feelings and an ill-timed love confession created a rupture Steve didn't know how to repair.
“We just drifted apart, man. That’s all.”
Dustin sighs dramatically. “Was it because you figured out you liked dudes and freaked out?”
Steve winces. It’s a joke. He can tell by Dustin’s tone, knows he likes to poke fun about Steve’s sexuality after he identified as a self-proclaimed ladies' man for so long, but it’s never come up this way before. Steve could deflect, but something in him shifts and instead he says, “More like because I figured it out too late.”
“Ooooooh,” Dustin breathes, and Steve can all but imagine the lightbulb flashing to life above his head. It makes Steve think of Dustin’s old hat with THINKING CAP on the front. “Oh my god, that makes so much more sense."

Summary
Steve learns from an early age that when your birthday happens to be on Christmas it's easy to be forgotten, overshadowed by the festive lights and holiday traditions. It's fine. Steve accepted it years ago. It's not like he's going to stomp his feet and throw a tantrum demanding people to pay attention to him. Instead, he lies, tells everyone he has plans, and let's them celebrate Christmas the way they really want to. And it works.
At least until his friends figure out what he's doing and decide to take matters into their own hands.- Language:

Summary
“So let me get this straight,” Robin says, her brows knitting together.
“Not straight,” Steve mutters, because if there’s anything he does know, it’s that.
Robin leans back against the wall, sighing heavily. She drops any pretense of real irritation, her expression adopting a strange mix of fond exasperation and burning curiosity instead. “You tried to break up Vickie’s relationship for me—which I never asked you to do, by the way—and then ended up falling for her boyfriend.”
“Yes.”
“And said boyfriend is Eddie Munson.”
“…Yes.”
In which Robin is distraught over the fact that Vickie’s got a new metalhead boyfriend and Steve takes it upon himself to intervene. Commence Operation Homewrecker — with some unforeseen complications.
