Pact of the Talisman by InAllPossibilities

Summary
In a game that’s considered an escape from reality for Jayce, he soon discovers there are more parallels in the fantasy to his own life than he first thought. Viktor's character, The Herald, is more human than he thought, and has begun making those human feelings known to Jayce- er, The Defender.
Viktor assures him that in-game flirting with friends is part of the fun of D&D, but with a hoard of mind-controlled robots to defeat, and his master’s thesis due soon, the lines have begun to blur for Jayce.
Maybe his feelings- or, his character’s feelings, of course- for Viktor are the least of his problems.
Or maybe they’re at the center of it all.

Summary
Steve is looking at him, awed. He stares at Eddie’s ribs like they have the answers to all his questions etched between them. Like there’s revelation written in between the fading whorls where his wounds knit together over the past year.
He reaches out, soft and slow- the way you approach a wounded dog. Don’t bite me, his hands are saying- I want to show you gentle touch.
---
one year post-vecna, and eddie's trying really hard to repress his feelings for steve. he'd probably be very successful at that, if it weren't for steve interfering every single step of the way

Amid the chaos of a crowded house party, Jayce can’t help but notice Viktor—and the irritatingly persistent guy who won’t seem to leave his side.

As the night unfolds, questions turn into answers in the most unexpected way.

Summary
The ink hadn’t even dried up on Jayce’s PhD diploma when the job offer landed in his inbox. Prestigious, well-funded, and in a country he had never even considered moving to. At the time, it had seemed like the opportunity of a lifetime.
But being there now, staring at a stack of unread emails, most of them marked urgent in varying degrees of exaggeration, Jayce wonders if he’d been a little too eager to say yes.
He came here to innovate, teach, and change the game, but lately, it feels like he spends more time fighting bureaucracy than breaking ground.
And there’s also Viktor.

Jayce tries to keep his longings locked, but fails miserably

Summary
“I’m not jerking off in your bathroom,” Steve says. Swallowing, he adds, “I’m gonna go home. We don’t— look, we don’t have to talk about, like, sex. Ever. I feel like a basket case.”
Eddie goggles at him with his big eyes, hands frozen in his lap.
“I don’t mind,” he says after a long moment.
“I feel like you mind,” Steve says weakly.
(Or, Steve ups his T dosage. He does not expect his sex drive to fall all out of whack.)

Summary
"I’m a doctor.” Viktor says, frowning as one of the latches on Jayce's brace doesn’t close. “I help people with their backs.”
“Doctor…?”
“Dr. Talis.” Viktor says softly. The answer is like a punch to the gut. Jayce has forgotten who he’s talking to. A spouse, in a different life. The notion alone is enough to almost bring those pesky tears back. That insane vulnerability in his brain, the tender and abused place of him that doesn’t know how to quantify such an idea.
Jayce would give anything to Viktor, be anything for Viktor. And in this universe, he’d been his husband. Had given him his name. A gift that has lasted beyond even death.

Summary
It’s been a year since the shitstorm with Vecna, and Eddie Munson’s made it big with his band This Machine Slays Dragons. He hasn’t really stayed in touch with anyone, because why would he? He bounced as soon as he could, without a diploma, tail between his legs. Turns out the real world had a few treats in store for him, after all.
Steve Harrington isn't really stuck in Hawkins. He’s got the kids to look after, the portal to check on, and Robin to keep him company. Things are damn near ordinary, these days, and Steve's grateful for it.
And then Eddie Munson shows up.
-
“Um,” starts Steve, tapping his foot. “This is gonna sound, like, really dumb, but I heard this song on the radio? It’s— if I sing it to you, do you think you would, I don’t know, recognise it?”
The music store employee's eyebrows climb up her forehead, but she nods slowly. “I’m game. Take it away, cowboy.”

Summary
This is a really bad fucking situation.
Eddie would know.
Jaw working, he leans in, says, ‘You’re not my type.’
And when he draws away, Steve is laughing, like it’s genuinely funny. He’s got this light sheen of sweat over his skin, it’s glittering. His hair moves, he pushes it back with his hands as his hips sway in time with the rhythm like he’s commanding it and he moves like a siren; a creature who exists only to lure.
‘I’m everyone’s type,’ he tells Eddie, like he just knows it and pities Eddie for lying. ‘To fuck, at least.’
