Summary
Sure, he kind of figured people might make it a big deal. After all, it wasn’t just Sam Owens as their coach talking up how this men’s team for USA Gymnastics could be the ones to break the streak since the Trials — it’s the whole of the gymnastics world, and goddamn if people didn’t love an underdog. It’s only that he’d just also sort of figured it’ll be about all of them: him and Lucas and McKinney and the rest of them. But they’d latched onto him, and now Steve has people tweeting about him and asking if he has a girlfriend or a boyfriend or someone, making memes and TikToks and edits, there’s a fucking timer, apparently, on NBC, or so Erica’s saying there’s gonna be (and historically she can’t be trusted not to lie to Steve’s damn face for fun, so he’ll believe it when he sees it, right), when Finals for the team come around, counting down to his event. The Harrington countdown. And, like, someone called him Clark Kent during the team qualifications? Like! What the fuck. How fuckin’ wild, right? Him. Jesus!
Or: This Steve's job is horse. Also, he's got an unfortunate crush on a middle-aged former rock star.

Summary
Indeed, the man would sometimes debrief Steve after! A glint in his eye, merry, as he asked if he thought Dr Owens or his five thousand pounds a year was more handsome, and Steve had all but choked upon his reply that Dr Owens was indeed handsome, regardless of his income!
“Hmm,” Sir Hopper had intoned that evening, teeth around his cigarillo as he puffed the heady scent of tobacco into the air. “I myself find the pounds comely rather than my dear friend (who himself would be the first to say it, so do not make such a face, young sir), but to each their own. Either way, he’s much too old for you.”
“I do not find myself concerned overmuch with such things,” Steve had tried to demure, for he had not wished to seem ungrateful for what introductions into the society of Devonshire and its surrounds Sir Hopper did offer.
Sir Hopper had snorted, ungainly in his amusement, and tapped his temple. He’d said, “I shall keep that in mind, then. Still: six and thirty years between you is too much. Five and ten, however, is much more agreeable to my delicate sensibilities. What say you to that?”
Or: an Omegaverse Regency AU inspired by Sense and Sensibility.

Summary
Because once a week, he had the house entirely to himself from nine am to eight at night while he had his usual day off at the library and Robin was in class all day (and Eddie was on tour). He didn’t need the run of it, of course, because Robin would actually kill him if she found out he was engaging in sex acts in the kitchen — but it was nice to know he could be, like, loud and shift if he needed to.
(That, actually, might have been the only other thing Robin judged him for, but, in his defense, he grew up alone in a big ass house — he never really had to learn to be quiet.)
So he took advantage of it, and put on some pretty clothes and imagined some guy railing him in them.
In which Steve has a fantasy. Couple of 'em, in fact.

“They’d never tell me to eat a bagel. Maybe some low-fat yogurt."
“Christ, no wonder you’re looking for drugs."
