    Summary

    “Well—“ The guy flounders for a second before taking another very brave and heroic two steps into the room. “Does he have like, medication or something? Are you supposed to call someone?”

    “I don’t know! That’s why I asked you to help me!“

    “Well I don’t know!” He nearly yells, more stressed than angry. This is definitely not what Steve meant when he’d advised them to stay calm and not panic. Don’t bring in a random guy who’s only going to fuel the panic.

    Summary

    “What’s going on?” he asks gently, touching her back.

    “Couldn’t sleep.” Her voice cracks. Steve blinks at her, quiet for a moment he reaches slowly for the spoon in her hand. She lets him take it, sniffling, and he sets it over the pot, turning down the burner, and he pulls at her hand.

    “What’s going on?” he asks again, quieter. She glances up into his eyes but looks at the floor, and he pulls her to the dining table, nudging her into a chair and sitting across from her. “Talk to me.”

    or; inspired by the dialogue prompts, “If we’re going to keep ending up in life-or-death situations, trust that I will save you every single time.” and “It’s three a.m. Why are you making soup?”

    Summary

    It was really just his luck that a hulking monster lumbered out of the woods and directly onto his driveway. Just his luck that he threw enough parties when his parents were gone that the neighbors had long tuned out any noise that came from his yard. Just a nice cherry on top of the fucking cake that, even if anyone did hear him screaming when claws tangled in his jacket and pulled, Steve honestly wasn’t sure they’d have cared enough to bother anyway.

    OR:

    Months before El ripped open the gate at Hawkins Lab, the Demogorgon started ripping tears of its own. Months before it found Will Byers, it found Steve Harrington.

    Summary

    It was not often that Merlin got a moment to himself. Between taking care of Arthur, helping Gaius, and protecting the kingdom from the latest magical disaster, he had very little time to call his own. If he wanted anything like peace and quiet, then he had to steal it. Once, he might have been the good, dedicated boy that his mother had raised. He might have heaved a sigh and got on with his chores.

    Not anymore.

    ----
    Merlin enjoys a stolen moment on a summer's day. Arthur joins him.

    (Based on Halcyon - For Rachel)
