ao3 won’t let me comment because of the spam filter so here’s what I wish I could comment on this chapter:
There’s a moment in every one of your fics (I know because I’ve been binge reading them) where everything just suddenly hits me like a ton of bricks. “Like Wayne set it up, kept adding to it, maybe waiting for him to come back, not knowing when that would be or what version of him would walk through the door when he did.” was that moment for me. I keep thinking “they write conflict so well”, but you also write quiet moments so well, never over-explaining, spoon-feeding me everything, but giving me the perfect amount to paint the picture myself.
6/1 - Chapter 14
ao3 won’t let me comment again for some reason. So here’s what I wanted to comment on this chapter -God, it was so awful seeing Eddie tweaking in the hospital. I knew right away, and it was so hard to watch Steve slowly get it.
The Grammys chapter was rough, and draining, but this chapter really affirmed how fucking brave it was of Steve to leave. That’s not easy, and it just hit me how proud I am of him, seeing him actually be honest with Eddie for once. Not make himself smaller.
“Starts from the bottom. Working upwards. Small sections at a time. Slowly. The way you're supposed to.” Are we still talking about combing out knots? I don’t think we’re just talking about combing out knots.
I wonder if Eddie realizes what Steve’s doing, cleaning him. The way he knew Steve cleans when that’s all he knows how to control, how to fix something.
I hope this is Eddie’s rock bottom. I’m not sure it is, but I hope I’m wrong. All I know is that I trust you and the story you’re telling. I’m really holding onto that “eventual happy ending” tag with both hands.
Gonna go listen to Porch Light, Orbiter, and Call Your Mom. And cry

Summary
Steve Harrington has the perfect future mapped out: legacy frat, degree from an Ivy League College, clean sneakers and a smile that never slips.
When his best friend, Robin urges him him to go to an illegal drag race, he meets Eddie. All curls, cocky grins and reckless heat. Eddie's the kind of guy who thrives in the undercurrent, leather and deflection. Hiding behind pure speed and smirks, and the lie that nothing means anything.
OR: Closeted frat boy Steve Harrington and drag racer Eddie Munson start sleeping with each other and it's chaos because it shouldn't work but lowkey it does.

Summary
“You’re a coward, you can’t say shit to people’s faces. You only talk behind their backs like a little bitch,” Eddie said, accentuating his words like the drama queen he was.
“And you’re a bastard, Munson. What, you get off on this or something?” Steve asked rudely.
“Oh yes,” Eddie grinned, getting closer, testing Steve. “I get off on this shit, I lie awake at night thinking about Steeeve Harrington calling me a filthy fag while I touch myself–”
Steve pushed him into the wall, so hard he hit his head.
“Maybe your minions find this funny, but they’re not here so drop the fucking act, got it? I’m not participating in your games, freak."
“You’re so full of yourself, you think everyone wants to fuck you all the time,” Eddie spat. They were close by Steve’s will now, backing Eddie into the wall, now he was finally taller even if it was a little more than an inch with his hair.
“Like you don’t,” Steve scoffed.

Summary
It's the Summer of 1989. Steve Harrington; a Police Officer in Missoula, Montana returns to work from leave and discovers he is forced to spend his days with Eddie Munson. A precariously handsome Administrator with a penchant for making Steve's life that little bit more difficult. Amid the splendour of endless paperwork and grey surroundings, Eddie and Steve discover the exhilarating beauty of enlivening desire in a world where neither of them felt as though they could ever truly be a part of.
"You know, you can't stay like this forever."
“Like what?”
“Thinking that you're getting your own back on the world by forcing yourself to be miserable because you don't think you're half good enough to be loved. It isn't true.”OR: Police Officer Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson develop a friends with benefits relationship because it will solve all of their problems but really they could both benefit from some therapy.
