    Billy moved in with Steve because he didn't have many options after his dad kicked him out. Steve agreed, because paying a mortgage on his own for a shitty little rundown house on his Family Video salary wasn't going to work for very much longer.

    A journey from stilted enemies into friendship and more.

    Summary

    After two and a half semesters at Samwell, Dex has gotten used to people handling their stress in weird ways. Bitty bakes up a storm, Lardo is constantly covered in what Dex really, really hopes is paint, Ransom turns into a curled-up ball of anxiety on the nearest flat surface. He gets it: people are just weird here.

    That doesn’t mean he doesn’t choke on his Red Bull when Nursey sighs, “God, I’m so tense right now. I just really need to suck a dick, y’know?”

    (Or: five times Dex and Nursey really don’t quite know what they’re doing, and one time they’ve really, really figured it out.)

    Summary

    Eddie doesn't particularly like the smell of blood.

    However, he's growing awfully used to it.

    It’s what he’s choosing to focus on. The smell of it. How it burns his nose. Clings heavy in his throat and fills his lungs with its thick, metallic haze.

    That is, when he can breathe.

    It’s awful hard to breathe.

    But he’s trying. God fucking damn it, he’s trying. And it hurts worse than anything, worse than the bites or the torn flesh or the aching all over. It burns worse than the smell. He can’t tell if it’d be easier to breathe through his nose or his mouth, so he just sort of heaves with his mouth open and hopes that air gets in somehow.

    He might be dying.

    Steve says he’s not dying, very insistent on that, in fact, but Eddie’s not sure if he believes him.

    Summary

    Also available in trans Billy flavour because that’s my personal trans agenda.

    Before, they were only as close as Billy let anyone get, but lately the distance between them has been shrinking. He’s not the kind of guy who likes to talk about himself. Mostly he listens, prods, collects, but never offers. He learned young that when you’ve got a brain like he does you can’t afford to tell people what you’re thinking or how you really feel. Stu isn’t one of those people though, Stu has to keep his thoughts secret too and now this is theirs to keep, between them.
     
    This is mostly only going to be in cannon with the first movie (the movie 3 retcon is not for me), but may also diverge in some places, especially when we get to the events closer to the end of the first movie. More specific tags and warnings will be in the end of chapter notes.

    Summary

    Steve’s relationship with Christmas had always been tenuous, to say the least, but it didn’t help that this was the first Christmas he would be suffering through since his ex-girlfriend had snatched up his self-esteem and taken off running the year before.

    He knew it was the intrinsically romantic quality of the holiday season, and nothing more. Just his lonely bones after a year of healing from heartbreak.

    But Eddie's arms around him when he needed them most were starting to feel a lot like love.

    Or: A fic inspired by George Michael's "Last Christmas".
