Summary
It's been said that books are mirrors to the soul. Before Steve Harrington started working at Bookish & Brews with his best friend Robin, he'd probably have called that a stupid idea, or at least way too sentimental. The day a mysterious guy with dark, bushy brown hair walked through their doors, ordered a black coffee, and plopped down with the most unexpected of books for a guy like him though, that all changed.
This is the story of how a few cups of coffee and choice book selections led two unassuming hearts down the path to their own love story.

My post-finale take on Mark and Vex officially announcing they're dating to the crew.
It's fun, it's angsty. It has the resulting Dyson crash-out we all knew was inevitable and plenty of discussion courtesy of his interesting father-son dynamic with Mark, along with cheesecake and Vex being Vex. What more could you ask for?

Summary
Inspired by the events of S4E1 "You Can Go Home Again," and taking place post-Girl Meets Semi-Formal, a misunderstanding between Jack and Eric leads to a blow up that has both men questioning their future together. Lost, upset, and confused beyond belief, Eric goes for a drive and finds himself at the last place he'd been when he was lost, upset, and confused beyond belief: Pottstown, home of the world's largest yogurt cup and his old friend, Irene.
Will this small town serve Eric well like it did the first time? Or, will a surprise trip to the hospital send Eric spiraling down a whole different path, making his misunderstanding with Jack the least of his worries?
