Summary
Living in Chicago was all about reinventing herself, living for herself.
Stevie thought she had it all figured out.
She was wrong clearly.
Or alternatively, watch Steve and Eddie try and navigate the complexity of one Steve Harrington’s gender. Steve’s push and pull, falling apart and coming back together, and Eddie holding on for all he’s worth. Self-discovery. A lot of loving one another and loving themselves. Healthy relationships. Independence.
Trying and then doing better.

Summary
In hindsight, believing that the universe had given Eddie a once in a lifetime chance to travel millions of lightyears away from Earth to start over his life was at best just laughable, the universe had never been so kind before. He thinks maybe he should've tried therapy or something before running away first but that's not what happened. Instead, the universe actually just thought it'd be funny for him to wake up from hypersleep ninety years before he's supposed to reach the planet Tovag with no way to go back into hypersleep while the rest of the 5000 passengers sleep away, leaving him utterly alone and waiting to die. If only he knew how to close his pod back up, instead all he knows how to do is fucking open one. Go figure.

Summary
After thirty years of being separated, of Edward holding a grudge, his resolve has begun to crack. Receiving a beautiful gift for his birthday from Steve, soft encouragement from Robin, and having an eye-opening conversation with Dustin, Eddie decides to give things with vampire lord, Stephen, of the Harrington Manor another go. He hates how quickly he can feel Steve making his way through the chinks of Eddie’s weak armor.
They both have hope of healing together and building something better than before but hope only lasts so long before something comes to snuff it out. Figures that Eddie has to learn the hard way. Again.

Summary
His first sleepover with them is one that he's not ever going to forget.
When Robin and Eddie cook and Steve just watches. Loves how they just know where everything is after months of spending time in his house and how they move around each other expertly. How the early and warm sunlight shows the bright blonde highlights in Robin's hair. And when the light catches Eddie's eyes just right there's hints of light browns and greens.
They're all in pajamas, both sets from Steve's own wardrobe, and his heart clenches fiercly at the sight.
They make chocalate chip pancakes and hashbrowns and bacon. The smell hits his nose and triggers something nostalgic in Steve's brain.
While they can work in tandem, though, that's not without the mess, no sir. Pancake batter splatters across tabletops and faces. Eddie licks the spatula and Robin yells at him to 'stop it!' In retaliation he licks her face and she shouts a loud, 'EDWARD MUNSON! If you like being part of the land of the living, you better fucking stop.' And she rips the spatula away from him and points it toward him like it's a sharp knife and not something made out of rubber.

Summary
I grieved for my future self. Now that I felt this kind of relief flooding my body, my resolve cracked on the floor like glass, the pieces skidding under my own feet. I didn’t know how I would ever put it back together. But even more distressing, I didn’t know how I would be able to deny him. Our bond. That instinct within him and that had been growing in me infinitesimally each day I saw him, touched him, thought about him…
Because even though Emily had said theirs was triggered by a single moment, I had had a growing suspicion, no matter how much I tried to deny it, that ours was different. Gradual.
That, without even realizing it, I had stumbled into something I hadn’t meant to and was now caught in it. Like a web that fused to my own skin, indistinguishable.
And, finally, that any more than one more weekend with him would kill me, if I ever became a vampire. Would kill us. Swifter and harder and more agonizing than death at the hands of the Volturi could ever be.

OR an Eclipse re-write with everything we love: slow burn, angst, fluff, smut, and a new take on imprinting that isn’t gross. The first few chapters pull heavily from Eclipse, but the writing after those is primarily all my own!

Summary
Jason Todd died once. It didn’t stick.
Now a revenant with a stuttering heartbeat and a soul that won’t stay buried, he hunts the things that crawl out of the dark. But nothing he’s fought, not demons, not ghosts, not monsters wearing human skin, comes close to the pair now stalking the hunter circuit. They’re carving through veteran hunters like wheat. One is a towering brute in a mask.The other is a beautiful, shackled young man whose presence feels like gravity—quiet, strange, and impossible to ignore.
Every instinct Jason has screams danger.
Something about him feels ancient, bound, wrong.
And yet Jason can’t look away.
He’s going to have to kill them both.
He just wishes the pretty one wasn’t making the job so damn complicated.

Summary
Bruce doesn’t know what’s wrong with his child, but he’s pretty sure kids aren’t meant to work like this.
From the day he had looked up into the tops of the circus tent and saw a frightened mirror image of a boy who had just experienced the worst day of his life, Bruce had instantly gone into emergency mode.
The Gotham PD had wanted to pass the boy off into the care of the circus. The circus had mumbled underneath their breaths about superstitions, about not having a boy like that with them, about not being able to handle something like Dick. So GCPD, not knowing what to do, had started talking about one of the handful of overburdened boy homes that handles a majority of Gotham’s unlucky orphans.
All the while, the camera lights flash bright and loud, wanting to know everything.
Bruce couldn’t let that happen.
Not then, not ever again.
-🦇-
Bruce is trying his best to protect the city that he loves. He doesn't know how exactly his Robins came to be- they're not fully human, not even at all. All he knows is that he wants to keep them safe.
