Summary
Before Alicent realized what she was doing, before she heard the shouts commanding her to stop, to put the knife down, she’d grabbed the very same dagger that had pierced her son in the face and gracefully marched toward Rhaenyra, every unshed tear that had threatened to fall finally cascading down her face like a raindrop on a glass window.
or; a story of old friend's reconciling and mending what once was due to ... a mere accident.

Summary
Steve didn't get a good look at who'd walked into the store, too busy trying to decontaminate the tapes but he'd noticed a mop of brown hair walking toward the horror section. That could be anybody though. Deep down, he knew it wasn't.
or; a drunk-on-love rain confession on steve's end, coming out to robin in the wheeler kitchen, and religious trauma.

Summary
Max knew what this was. She wasn't naive. She'd felt the same way with Lucas once upon a time. Their breakup had been mutual—she'd always love him, and he'd love her, but she found they were better friends than lovers. She was happy where things were between them. Truthfully, Max had missed the lingering stares, too-long touches, and logistics of having a crush on someone.
"I need you to .. stay out of things. I want to make sure you are safe." El whispered, still holding onto Max's hand. She was worried El could feel her heart pulsating in her palm.
or; Max and Eleven post-Vecna and everything in between.

Summary
"Sorry, Mrs. O'Donnell. Got a bit caught up with something." His eyes were on Steve the entire time—why were they on him?
"Just make sure you start working on that essay, Munson. Remember, it's due tomorrow." With a nod, he sauntered to the other side of the room.
Whatever. It wasn't any of Steve's business.
Though, when he stole a glance at the other, he found Eddie's eyes already on him.
or; 5 times Eddie and Steve met during Detention and 1 time they didn't have to.

Summary
"I wish I could say it gets better but I'd honestly be lying. I mean, that's why we created this frequency. Who else is going to understand what it's like dreaming about extra terrestrial monsters and portals to hell." And Steve was right. What they had been through—what they were going through—was a unique experience. Eddie had never imagined himself in a situation like this—the monsters? Sure. His life was already pretty fucking crazy. No, he meant talking to Steve Harrington early in the morning about anything and everything. Good things like that didn't happen to people like Eddie Munson. They just didn't.
or, 5 times eddie munson has trouble sleeping after the vecna ordeal and one time he doesn't.

Summary
Din’s words appear a few months after the attack on his village, after he had been taken in and adopted by the Mandalorians and the grief was still thick in his throat. He doesn’t know, at first, that they are there at all, until his baji’buir looks at him, her golden buy’ce tilted, and says, quietly, “I believe you have your words, ad.” She hands him a piece of shining beskar to use as a mirror, and sure enough, curled under his left ear in a slanting script, there they are. Two words: I am.
—
Just before his eyes slip closed, he sees something else overlaid on what he can actually see — a flash of silver, shining and beautiful. Something in Luke’s heart sings, for just a second, and he hears the Force whispering ‘ this one.’ He strains, trying to see more, but he can’t hold on, and drops down into unconsciousness.
—
Or: The first words your soulmate says to you are written on your skin. Luke and Din travel the galaxy before they find their match.

Summary
Admittedly, this is not the first time Luke has wound up at someone else’s kitchen table in someone else’s clothes. But it’s not breakfast, Luke’s not an undergrad scarfing down bacon and eggs to cure the common hangover, and Din doesn’t strike him as the kind of guy he’d meet at a house party. The baby is definitely a first.
Luke is a grad student trying to finish his linguistics PhD after an unexpected leave of absence. His neighbor, Din, is a single dad and delivery guy at Pizza Parsec.
(Actually, Pizza Parsec is just a front for the bounty hunters' guild. But Luke doesn't need to know that.)

Summary
Steve almost forgets where he is, where they are, but there’s a flashlight on the ground pointing a beam of light at a set of file cabinets, one of them labeled ‘Confiscated’. He remembers breaking into Hawkins High with Eddie - not the first time he’s done it, admittedly - to help retrieve Eddie’s drugs which had been taken from him earlier in the day. Drugs which thankfully hadn’t been discovered yet because they look like candy and Eddie needs those drugs or he’s gonna catch so much shit from Reefer Rick and–
–and none of that really matters right at the moment, because Steve just got kissed by Eddie Munson and it feels kinda like the world is ending.

Summary
“I get it.” Dustin nods. “Completely fair. But, uh… what if this hypothetical gay person seems like he might be unhappy about it? And I want him to know it’s okay?”
Steve swallows past the sudden lump in his throat.
“That’s actually kind of sweet,” Robin says, sounding touched herself.
“Who is it?” Steve asks.
Robin raises her eyebrows. “It’s the Byers kid, right? I mean, obviously.”

Summary
Dustin watches Eddie's face as everyone else giggles. He's retained his typical intimidating smirk for much of this encounter, but as Steve stumbles through his fictional seduction, Eddie's eyes soften. His smirk slowly turns to a small grin.
“Didn't Wizard Romeo and Juliet both die?” he asks, in that same low, grumbly voice he always loves to use for big scary bad guys. The effect is jarring.
“Well, yes, but… they loved each other first,” Steve says, oddly sincere. “I think love is worth the risk. Wouldn't you agree? And then, uh, I'm gonna take off my helmet and, like—” Steve tosses his hair, shaking it out dramatically and running a hand through it afterward to fix any wayward strands.
"Ew,” Mike says.
Nancy presses a hand over her mouth, but it does nothing to hide her smile. Usually, this is the point where Eddie would make them all roll initiative. Dustin has his D20 ready. But Eddie smiles. Eddie fucking smiles, and not in that maniacal way he does before siccing something horrific on them, he fucking beams, and says, "You're gonna scrape your neck on his mace doing that, just so you know."
