Summary
Hawkins is a small town, everyone knows everyone—and Eddie has been in school with Steve Harrington since kindergarten. They were in the same third grade play in elementary, they were square dance partners for a week in seventh, and they had three years in the same remedial math classes in high school. Eddie knows his way around Harrington’s house as well as any other teenager in Hawkins does, went to all the same house parties, the same field parties, the same lake parties. Hell, Eddie has sold Harrington weed countless times, he’s one of his best customers because Harrington pays extra for Eddie to roll for him.
So, how the hell did Eddie not know Harrington was an omega?

Summary
When Steve sleeps, he dreams. Not a nightmare, not really.
But it's the same dream, every time, cold darkness pressing on him at all sides, bare feet on wet ground, enough water to splash, to ripple. Steve stands alone in the cold darkness. It feels like hours, ages, he stands, unseeing, unmoving. Waiting. He can't remember why.
He's always waiting.
Nothing ever comes.

Summary
He’s still learning all the new things about how he wants Eddie to touch him—the way he craves Eddie’s weight on top of him, Eddie’s arm over his shoulders, Eddie holding him still. Steve thinks of all the girls he’s done the same things to. How he’d lean over them and whisper in their ears, use his size to make them small against him, grin when they’d blush and giggle.
Steve wants Eddie to do those kinds of things to him. He wants it with a burning, confusing need.
So when, one night, when Steve’s already dizzy and touch-warm against Eddie’s mouth, when Eddie’s hand snakes down Steve’s side to cup the curve of Steve’s ass, when Eddie asks, a little winded, “Wanna try something else?”
Or, Steve has a crisis, but it's not the gay kind.

Summary
“I don’t have any folks,” Steve says, all matter of fact, like he’s telling Eddie the weather. “Because they turned me out.”
Eddie looks up at him. His head is spinning, a little dizzy from the drink, and he feels stupid for it. Not safe, when he’s gotten addicted to the way Steve licks his lip, chews on it with his teeth. “Why’s that?” he asks.
Steve turns and looks at Eddie. He’s pretty in the firelight, all golden glowing and flames reflected, dancing in his eyes. His mouth is twisted up in a bittersweet smile. He looks like a wary dog, longing for touch but too used to pain to accept any of Eddie’s gentle petting. Idly, Eddie thinks he’d pet Steve real nice if he’d let him. And, like he can read Eddie’s mind, Steve stands, crosses their campsite and sits himself down, right in Eddie’s lap.
“‘Cause of this,” he whispers, and leans down over Eddie, and catches his mouth in a kiss.
Or, Eddie doesn't much like Wayne's new hired hand that Eddie's going to be alone with all summer.

Summary
When Azula is nine, she becomes an only child. She hears the Fire Lord call for Zuko's life, and in the morning, her mother and brother are gone. Azula may be young, but she isn't naive. She knows what happened to them.
Which makes it all the more surprising when Azula tracks the Avatar down and fights his group of peasant friends, only to find herself staring into an eerily familiar face.

Summary
That’s a fucking kid, is the first thing that Iruka thinks.
That’s the fucking jinchuriki, is the second.
The first thought comes back, even stronger, overwhelming him with outrage, with fury, with a sick sort of disgust, and now it comes out as a shouted,
“That’s a fucking kid.”
