Summary
His gaze returned again to the drawer at his desk, to the quick snap of the lock that would take but a moment, at the relief that was guaranteed, an end to his self-inflicted torment. He could feel sweat upon his brow, beading on his upper lip, forming, somehow both balmy and cold, under his armor.
“Are you listening to me, Cullen—?”
He was pinned between two forces. The lyrium and her. Stretched taught between them to the point where he could feel his sinews straining. One force had to give, the lyrium or her—
He surged from his chair, taking the choice from one victor, giving it to the other.
One addiction after all was far kinder, far gentler.
“Can I touch you?” was out of him before he could preface it, arrange it to be better-worded.
--
Or Cullen goes through lyrium withdrawal and uses "servicing" Inquisitor Lavellan as a way to cope.

Summary
The Lanes never sleep.
The sunken streets may lie beneath Piltover’s heavy shadow, and it's faults are numerous and deadly, but no one can claim that the Undercity is boring.
There is always colour to be found, if you know where to look.
It’s something you pride yourself on – the ability to see what others can’t. Some mistake it for simple optimism. But you know it’s more than just that. It’s the thing that’s kept you alive this long, in more ways than one. You've always been happy to go wherever life has taken you, and you're a big believer in gut instinct.
But you never expected to end up working as a bartender at The Last Drop – having been scouted by a blue haired girl who wouldn't take no for an answer.
Neither did you expect to find yourself landed with the terrifying task of ensuring Silco's personal drinks cart is kept well stocked.
And you certainly never expected to find yourself inadvertently become the weekly drinking partner of the Eye of Zaun himself.

Summary
In 1983, months before Will Byer's disappearance, Steve Harrington goes missing.
It's not big news and the police say they know where he's gone, but they won't share anything else. It's something Steve is grateful for. After all, if anyone found out he was in a group home for troubled and unwanted kids, rooming with one Eddie 'The Freak' Munson, he'd never be able to go back.
But as Eddie pushes his buttons and his therapist forces him to untangle some of his twisted thoughts and memories, Steve realizes maybe--just maybe--he doesn't want to go back to normal.

Summary
November 1983. Between unpaid bills, the supposedly straight jock he’s seeing, and letters from his convict dad, seventeen year old Eddie Munson’s got enough to worry about. But when Will Byers goes missing, it sparks a chain of events that will show there are more depths to Hawkins — and to certain people in it, like infamous Steve ‘The Hair’ Harrington — than he realizes.
/ or, the excessively long slow-burn in which Eddie is involved in the Upside Down from the very beginning.
