    Summary

    Realization #1: Steve is wearing a costume. He’s dressed as Springsteen on the cover of Born In The U.S.A. The album cover is staring at Eddie from the stack of records by the speakers, and he flicks his eyes between the cover and Steve, almost laughing at how obvious the resemblance is.

    Immediately after that, revelations two and three slam into him like an eighteen-wheeler.

    #2: Bruce Springsteen is kind of hot.

    #3: Steve Harrington is really hot.

    A fourth and much louder thought echoes through Eddie’s brain: oh, shit.

    (Many months ago, I wrote a tumblr post about Steve Harrington being a Bruce Springsteen enjoyer. This fic is about that.)

    Summary

    “Uh, Spaghetti?” Richie waves a hand in front of his face, looking worried now. “Hello? Do you want to let me know whatever it was that was so important you had to drag me awake for it or -”

    “I have a turtle in my pocket that speaks to me in my head and is possessed by Bruce Springsteen,” Eddie blurts out. “Also I think it may be God.”

    Richie stares blankly at him.

    “What,” he asks flatly, “the fuck.”

    “Or a god, at least, I don’t know,” Eddie continues, “Either way, I think it was the one who brought me back to life, so. You know. The chances are very good.”

    --

    It's been forty years. Eddie Kaspbrak is just trying to make it out of the river.

    Summary

    At nineteen years old, Alex had been a kid who had turned his back on the life his parents mapped for him: Georgetown, then law school, then politics – just like his mother and father. Instead, he’d taken his guitar and the songs he couldn’t stop writing and told them, this is what I want. Then Bruce Springsteen pulled him on stage and launched his career as a world-famous singer/guitarist.

    Now he was twenty-eight, the world-famous “ACD,” his face on billboards from Tokyo to Paris to New York. When he and Henry meet and fall in love, the spotlight and touring life became too much for Henry. So Henry leaves, ends the relationship and breaks both their hearts. When Alex steps back into the Jersey Shore bar where it all started for him, he's at a crossroads. Which spotlight will shine brighter: his career or his love for Henry?

    EDIT: Now with Chapter 2 showing Henry's POV :)

    1982.

    "We leave town. The flat night highway rises up and it’s all headlights and white lines . . . white lines . . . white lines. I’ve just pulled a perfect swan dive into my abyss; my stomach is on rinse cycle and I’m going down, down, down.”
