    Summary

    Steve watches the kids in the lake. Mike splashes Lucas and turns tail to try and wade away before getting tackled into the water. Max and El laugh, arms linked, and giggle something that Steve can’t quite make out. Dustin is standing shin deep and closer to the shore. He has one hand on his hip while the other is flung out toward the wrestling boys.

     

    “He really takes after you, huh?”

     

    Eddie’s voice startles Steve and he rips his eyes away to crane his neck around. Eddie is looking out toward the lake, eyes locked on Dustin.

     

    “Yeah, like mother like son, blah blah blah,” Steve chuckles.

     

    Eddie bites his lip in a smile and holds up his lotion-coated hands. “Yeah, pretty much. Ready to let me get my hands on you?”

     

    “Well, I wouldn’t be opposed to a little begging, but sure,” Steve shrugs, tossing Eddie a look with the tilt of his head and raised eyebrows. Eddie takes a step forward and leans in, lips close to Steve’s ear.

     

    “I don’t beg,” he whispers.

     

    Or

    Steve takes his 11 closest friends on a trip to the lake, and unexpectedly falls in love.

    Summary

    Fuck, Eddie has been here before.

    The deja vu was bad enough but this is like, double, this is like deja deja vu or deja vu vu or something, this is unprecedented shit here.

    And Eddie knows what comes next, knows like the roiling ache in his stomach that they’re going to go in, go though the portal and into the Upside fucking Down and didn’t they already do this?

    -- --
    Eddie loops through the time from lover's lake to his death, over and over again.

    Summary

    Eddie snatches up the paper and glances it over. Name, residence – he lives with Buckley? Why would she do that to herself? – previous work, strengths, weaknesses – people pleaser, yeah right – accommodations, blah blah blah.

    When he looks up again, Sisyphus, purring loudly, has his full, not-inconsiderable weight pushed into Harrington’s chest, who’s got both his hands petting down his back, fucking cooing.

    “Holy shit, I cannot do this,” Eddie says, and then shoves the application back toward Harrington and says, “No.”

    or-

    Hellfire Books is reluctantly hiring, and Eddie really doesn’t hate Steve all that much in the end.

    or-

    A modern magical realism bookstore AU.

    Summary

    Steve knows the complicated jumble of feelings that Eddie is dealing with well–it’s the way he felt while Dustin told him not to worry about Max driving the car, pressing an ice pack to his battered face, the way he felt when he realized that, despite everything, they hadn’t been willing to leave him behind.

    To be loved, to be shown love, is a concept that Steve still struggles with, even when he craves it desperately.
