    Summary

    Steve doesn't exactly care about relationships anymore. Not after Nancy broke his heart and Billy broke his face. He's bored and just going through the motions the first time it happens. Noelle asks him on Monday if he's busy that coming Friday and Steve figures why not? He takes her to the movies on Friday, takes her to bed on Saturday, and on Sunday he lets her down gently. She takes it in stride, and the next Monday it's Jocelyn at his locker. Then Ginny. Then Cami. Soon a rumor starts that Steve Harrington will accept anyone who asks him out at the beginning of the week and end their relationship after seven days of dating.

    Eddie doesn't believe the rumors. After all, to say Steve Harrington would ignore the glaring asterisk of heteronormativity is just insane. But when he catches the King being tardy on a Monday he puts his theory to the test.

    Suddenly Eddie has a boyfriend for the next seven days. Now he just has to not fall in love.

    Summary

    “Vice Captain Hoshina, are you courting First Division Captain Narumi?”

    Soushirou chokes on his own spit, practically hacking out half a lung as he attempts to process what Shinomiya Kikoru — one of the most reasonable and talented operatives he’s ever met in his time at the JAKDF — has just asked him.

    She’s formal.

    Responsible.

    Definitely not the type to draw outlandish conclusions about her superior’s relationship to a beta he sees maybe once a month. Twice, if he’s unlucky.

    Or; Hoshina is courting Narumi. He is the only one who does not realize this.

    Summary

    Casey Selmore asked Ludger Cherish for a favour to be allowed to present him to her sister as her fiancé.

    This came with conditions from the wary Omega:
    1) Courtship gift(s) that were unlike what he’d previously received from the dukes and the emperor, that were:
    a] Not pretentious dust collectors.
    b] Thoughtful and appealing; and
    c] Useful to himself or his work.
    And
    2) She needed to make a convincing gesture of claim that would shake up the Alphas into giving up pursuit of him.

    Unfortunately, neither anticipated the consequences of her doing this a little too well...

    Summary

    “Yelena,” he said. “What. The fuck. Is this.”

    “What does it look like?”

    What it looked like was a pillow. It was nearly as tall as Bucky was, and maybe a foot and a half wide. The background was white.

    He noted all of these things in the back of his mind. The front of his mind was preoccupied with the stylized illustration of Sam, printed on the full length of the pillow. He gazed out at Bucky with the same easygoing expression Bucky had seen a thousand times, though somehow this version conveyed a distinct smolder.

    He was also naked. At least, Bucky assumed he was. He was definitely shirtless and pantsless, but he was holding the shield over his crotch.

    “It’s double-sided,” Yelena said helpfully.

     

    (Bucky receives a birthday gift that he absolutely, positively, does not want. At all.

    Until it starts coming in handy.)

    Summary

    “Anyway, did you ever think I might want to sleep with him?”

    Peter sat straight up in bed and turned on the bedside light. Mary Jane was still sitting up, her arms crossed defiantly over her chest, staring straight ahead at a spot on the wall, twin angry spots of color in her cheeks.

    “You want to sleep with another man?” he demanded.

    “Well, ideally you’d be there, too,” she said, scowling.

    --

    Johnny is getting married. Peter is having a problem. Mary Jane has the solution.

    Or, the Watson-Parkers homewreck their way to Johnny's happiness.
