Summary
Probably the sharpest knife in his chest about this whole shitshow? Eddie thought they were doing good.
Like: so fucking good.
Eddie thought they were building something.
He’s such an idiot. Such a…
A heartsick fucking idiot.
But if he steps back, is as logical as he's capable of being: there hadn’t been any signs that they weren’t laying the foundations of something lasting; that they weren’t in this deep and rooted and committed, serious in a real, tangible way and, just…
Forever. Eddie was…he was playing for keeps, here. He thought, he just—
He really thought he wasn’t alone in all this.
Again: idiot.
--
Or: Eddie never thought Steve would stop wanting him. He maybe went in reticent at first, but Steve had loved hard out the gate—so as soon as he knew he was allowed, and welcome? Eddie didn't hesitate to meet that love beat for beat.
He just never imagined his love would ever be unwelcome; that that's how his heart would break.
But that's just one side of the story, isn't it?

Summary
"i’ll teach you.” he said it effortlessly, like voluntarily spending time with her was a gift, rather than a chore. “that is… if you’re sure you aren’t too cool for it.”
she raised an eyebrow. “i don’t think it’s possible to be cool after spending a day trapped in a russian elevator with you.” lucas gave her a look at that, gesturing toward the kitchen where their mom was making lunch, but dustin didn’t flinch.
“touché nerd.” he barged into her room uncaringly and plopped himself down on the floor, gesturing for her to sit across from him.
“you two have fun,” lucas said, sounding like he definitely thought they wouldn’t. erica flipped him off.
“don’t be a douche.”
“yeah, lucas, don’t be a douche,” dustin teased. lucas gave his best friend an offended look.
“you’re unbelievable.”

Summary
“I’m sorry for ruining your night.” A deep shuddering breath echoes through the woods. Steve hurts. His chest aching something awful and so tight he can’t breathe. “I’m so-” his voice breaks as does the damn holding back all his tears. Now it’s Eddie’s turn to feel his eyes burn. “I’m so sorry, Eddie. I’m sorry for everything. I never – I never wanted – I never meant things for to end up like this.”
Eddie’s brown eyes meet Steve’s hazel. Tears fill Steve’s eyes and despite everything - despite how broken Steve looks, despite how angry Eddie is, he can’t help but think he’s still so beautiful. Eddie wants to say it. Throat aching with the need to say something, anything to get Steve to stay and let him help. It hits Eddie hard that this is the first time he has ever seen Steve cry. Steve who always put on such a strong front, who hid his sadness and fear under false smiles. All the anger and fury from five minutes ago left Eddie only to be replaced by such a twisted feeling that whatever is haunting Steve won’t be stopping anytime soon, and it’s something so much bigger than he could ever imagine.

Summary
Martin clings to Jon as they fall, clings to his bleeding lover as the roaring of the void and the screeching of the tapes drowns out any words either of them have. He clings to Jon and prays to whatever gods may exist that everything will end up alright.
Then he collapses onto cold linoleum, stumbling into a harsh metal filing cabinet. The roaring and screeching is gone, and the harsh silence makes his ears ring... or maybe that's the head wound.When he finally opens his eyes, he isn't sure what he expected to see, but its not the middle of the archives with Sasha and his younger self staring back at him.
