Summary
Eddie Munson was practically raised by the concept of harsh realities, and he’s learned not to want things that he’ll never have, which isn’t as much as a bummer as it could be, because making the most out of what you’ve got is just as good.
Steve Harrington, despite his reputation as a casual flirt and a serial dater, has a bad habit of falling hard and fast and never really recovering. Steve Harrington, despite his reputation as a bit oblivious, and a ladies man, figured some stuff out about himself four years ago and promptly squashed all those feelings into a box he never intended to see the light of day.
In which Will coming out forces Steve to be open about some things (because Steve’s issues will always take a backseat to making sure the kids feel safe). And Steve doesn’t mean for Eddie to find out, but he does, and it turns into a bonding experience. (And it’s the best and the worst, because having him as a friend is more than Steve ever could’ve hoped for, but it also feels a little like dying.)

Summary
Sure, he kind of figured people might make it a big deal. After all, it wasn’t just Sam Owens as their coach talking up how this men’s team for USA Gymnastics could be the ones to break the streak since the Trials — it’s the whole of the gymnastics world, and goddamn if people didn’t love an underdog. It’s only that he’d just also sort of figured it’ll be about all of them: him and Lucas and McKinney and the rest of them. But they’d latched onto him, and now Steve has people tweeting about him and asking if he has a girlfriend or a boyfriend or someone, making memes and TikToks and edits, there’s a fucking timer, apparently, on NBC, or so Erica’s saying there’s gonna be (and historically she can’t be trusted not to lie to Steve’s damn face for fun, so he’ll believe it when he sees it, right), when Finals for the team come around, counting down to his event. The Harrington countdown. And, like, someone called him Clark Kent during the team qualifications? Like! What the fuck. How fuckin’ wild, right? Him. Jesus!
Or: This Steve's job is horse. Also, he's got an unfortunate crush on a middle-aged former rock star.

Summary
Three weeks. Henry’s known the guy three fucking weeks and now they’re getting married? And Alex is… what? Supposed to be happy for him? Play the supportive best friend like this isn’t the craziest thing he’s ever known Henry to do in almost seven years of friendship? He can’t do that. The swirling nausea in his gut because the man he’s in love with is engaged aside, it’s just – you don’t even know someone after three weeks. How did this guy charm Henry into marriage in less than a month?
Alex isn’t even mad. He just can’t understand.

For almost ten years, Alex has been in love with Henry.
Seven years into their friendship, Henry throws himself into a new relationship headlong, and Alex is at a loss when he drops the news that they're engaged.
With less than a month til Henry says his vows, Alex is running out of time.

Summary
When he emerges out the other end of the alleyway and almost runs straight into a solid blue wall that wasn’t there last time he visited this area of town, Henry assumes his wandering thoughts have conjured an illusion. He blinks, and blinks again, but it’s still there: NORA’s unassuming back wall, the broken chameleon circuit now over thirty centuries out of date to blend into her surroundings the way she’s supposed to, her anomalous presence a wrench in Henry’s carefully laid plans.
Alex is here.
Or, Alex is a Time Lord, and time is complicated; Henry keeps meeting him out of order, and it's been a while.
