Summary
While the Valar were figuring out how to read a calendar, Freya did the math. She got to review the homework before taking the test this time, which was nice, but that made the most likely endgame obvious. She knew from the second she offered to do it that reverse fetch-questing an evil ring was going to be rough. She was trying anyway. Because she was very, very stupid.
She expected to pay a high price for the chance to stay.
She didn’t expect there to be an extra cost at the end.
Or for them to both pay it.
Or to be asked for more.No, seriously, you need to read part one

Summary
From a prompt by ApomaroMellow
Dustin invites legendary musician Eddie Munson to his brother Steve's wedding. What Dustin doesn't know is that they're exes and the least Eddie can do is scope out the event and see if Steve's future spouse truly deserves him

It ran away with me, and not in the direction I expected, but it hurts real good.

Summary
“I was ten,” Steve starts, because that’s how it always starts. That’s how the story of his life is told.
I was ten, begin a dozen unfinished, unsent college essays. I was ten, I was ten, I was ten.
***
When Steve is ten, he's kidnapped by a serial killer alongside another boy, a stranger named Ed. When Steve is nineteen, he finds himself walking through the Upside Down with a man named Eddie. These events are more linked than he thinks.

Summary
inspired by this and dedicated to the fruity four server for their neverending help and inspiration!
“Hey, hi Eddie, hey, it’s Steve. Uh, do you know anything about cats?” he asks.
There’s a pause. “Steve, did you get a cat?”OR - Steve gets a cat to ease the loneliness, but she likes his fuckbuddy better than him

Summary
“Why?”
And that’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? Why is this different? What makes Eddie different?
“Is it because I’m a lesbian?” Eddie asks, blunt as always, and Stevie’s heart stops. She hasn’t told Eddie about herself yet, is the thing. Shit, Eddie doesn’t even know Robin’s a lesbian too. Jesus, the three of them could form a club. Lesbians With So Much Trauma and Also Great Hair. Based in Hawkins, Indiana. Join today and regret it for the rest of your life!
Or: it’s crazy where a pair of well-manicured hands can get you.

Look. It’s not Steve’s fault. It isn’t!
It’s just that someone can only get hit on the head so many times before their brain starts cracking, and Eddie Munson is always thinking so GODDAMN LOUD.
