Summary
“Yeah,” Steve sighs. “I’m gonna miss you, too, Dustin. Hey, promise you won’t forget about good old Steve Harrington when you make a bunch of new, smart friends?”
Steve brings his hand to grip the base of Dustin’s neck. He knows he sounds pathetic, but it covers what he really wants to say, which is “don’t leave me behind.”
Dustin catches Steve’s gaze and holds it. “You’re my best friend. You know that nothing could ever change that.”
Steve can’t seem to tear his eyes away from Dustin’s. The weight of everything they went through in the last five years hangs in the air. There’s too much to say and nothing to say that they don’t already know.
--
Set in the year after Dustin graduates high school and heads to college, Steve and Dustin struggle to navigate their relationship as it changes in ways that neither of them anticipated, especially now that the threat of the Upside Down is no longer an excuse to keep them together.
It’s a story told through phone calls, postcards, holidays at home, road trips, and Lord of the Rings references. It’s a story of learning what to let go of, what to hold onto and how to find a path forward. Mostly, it’s a story about love.

Summary
Steve sighs before continuing: “It can’t happen in Hawkins, Dustin, but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen. You’re going to get out. You’re going to go to college because you are super smart and– and you’re going to find a guy who’s perfect for you.” Steve watches his own face in the mirror say these words, tracing the lines under his eyes, the bruise on his jaw, the cut on his temple. He imagines the man who will someday love Dustin and feels a sudden, intense jealousy. “You are going to find a guy who is smart, and understands you, and is brave for you. You are going to find someone who loves you. You are going to get your happy ending.” It sounds like a prayer or incantation. Dustin will be happy someday. He must.

Love looks a certain way in Hawkins. It doesn't look like Dustin Henderson and Steve Harrington going steady, that's for sure.

Summary
“Let’s just play it cool, yeah?” Dustin asks, voice sounding nonchalant but his eyes are tender as they sweep across Steve’s face.
“The coolest,” Steve agrees easily. He starts to move forward, but Dustin grabs his wrist and stops him again.
“Here,” Dustin whispers, pressing something soft into Steve’s hand. He looks down at the red bandana and feels a flush of heat return to his cheeks when he remembers how it had come off. Dustin darts another look back at Steve’s face and mimes a wiping motion with his hand. “You may want to… uh…”
“Oh shit, thanks” Steve laughs, scraping the bandana across his cheeks and mouth. He follows Dustin up the stairs, taking them two at a time in his giddiness.---
Smutty little rewrite of the end of the end of Season 5 episode 7. Dustin and Steve have their "You die, I die" moment in the armory, but then things escalate from there... And then they both need to somehow act casual during Will's coming out scene.
AKA This is just porn with feelings and heavy dose of humor, written from Steve's POV. Don't take this too seriously.

Summary
“Rosie Cotton dancing,” Sam said, “and Pippin and Merry stealing the fireworks early. And you-” his voice died in his throat. He could feel Frodo’s eyes on him, but Sam kept his gaze steady on the far-off horizon. Somewhere, he hoped, the armies of Rohan and Gondor and all the kingdoms of men were gathered. He hoped that he and Frodo hadn’t been too late. Sam hoped a lot of useless things.
“Your laughter, Mister Frodo.” Sam’s voice was rough from smoke and the building tears in the back of his throat. He closed his eyes, and tried to remember the sound of Frodo’s laugh. The shape of his smile- how it formed dimples in his cheeks and made his eyes crinkle up into little crescents. It had been so long, the memories felt faint and dreamy, like something Sam had imagined long ago. Once, a lifetime past, Frodo’s smile was Sam’s favorite thing in the widest world. More beautiful than any flower he could grow in the garden, brighter than any of Gandalf’s fireworks cracking open in the sky. “I loved to hear you laugh, sir,” Sam whispered, and he felt a tear trace down his filthy cheek.

Summary
There is a man with empty eye sockets and tears of fire in Wei Wuxian’s dreams. Tendrils of smoke curl around him in sleep, pressing at his most vulnerable spots, seeking entrance, slipping between his ribs.
When he ignores Lan Zhan's offers of help, he declines rapidly. He will die. Or, he should. Anyone else would.
Instead, he flees. And transforms.

Summary
Lan Zhan stands there in his immaculate, cloud-patterned Lan robes, watching him calmly, one fist tucked up against his back. “I am betrothed.”
Wei Wuxian blinks. “Are you…” He tries to laugh. Again, it sounds inhuman. “Is this about last night? Are you mad at me? I only remember some of it, Lan Zhan. I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I’m sure whatever I did I was just—” He gestures uselessly. He remembers being warm in Lan Zhan’s lap. He remembers fitting snugly in Lan Zhan’s lap. Wrapping his arms around Lan Zhan’s neck. Nosing at his jaw. “…playing around.”
“This has nothing to do with you, Wei Wuxian.”
