[Podfic] what love is

Summary:

Steve is incapable of not taking care of the people he cares about. And against all odds, he cares about Eddie.

Eddie has never been taken care of. Not like that.

Or: Eddie & Steve fall in love, before Christmas but not too fast.

A podfic

Notes:

Thanks for the permission, Kissesforcas!

Content note: Kissesforcas notes "racist comments from Steve’s dad at the start of [chapter three of] this fic. Nothing extremely vulgar or violent. Just typical asshole conservative father statements." This happens at around 1:48:55 in the podfic.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

I have such a need for Steve to be taken care of (as someone who is typcially the caretaker in relationships let's not explore too much why I need this...) so I really love that that is a theme in this fic.

I especially love Robin and Steve's friendship in this, as well as the way all the relationships are drawn.  Steve's observations were really fun to record, as was Eddie's growing frustration. 

 

This fic once again includes music. Songs/Artists in order of first appearence are

  • Van Halen,  In a Simple Rhyme
  • Modern English, Heart
  • Freddie Mercury, I was born to love you
  • Queen, Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy
