    Summary

    “Sorry,” Steve says. “I’m sorry, I know this doesn’t make any sense to you, but can I just–”

    Eddie lets him approach, this time. Lets him reach out to touch, to curl his fingers in the hem of Eddie’s shirt.

    “Sorry, I know I probably sound crazy, I just––” he pulls it up, stares at Eddie’s side, and then lets out a hysterical little noise that sounds like a cross between a laugh and a sob.

    “You’re ok,” Steve says.

    His fingers are hot on Eddie’s skin, pressed light and shockingly reverent to the space between his hip and rib cage.

    “You’re ok,” he repeats. It sounds like he’s trying to convince himself.

    “Hey,” Eddie says. It comes out more breathless than he’d prefer but Steve fucking Harrington has him backed against a wall in a bathroom with his hands up Eddie’s shirt so he thinks a little lack of air is warranted. “Are you ok?”

    The fingers on his abdomen flex. "No,” Steve says. His eyes are wide and fathomless and the look on his face is terrible. “No, I’m not even remotely ok.”

    Summary

    Dustin watches Eddie's face as everyone else giggles. He's retained his typical intimidating smirk for much of this encounter, but as Steve stumbles through his fictional seduction, Eddie's eyes soften. His smirk slowly turns to a small grin.

    “Didn't Wizard Romeo and Juliet both die?” he asks, in that same low, grumbly voice he always loves to use for big scary bad guys. The effect is jarring.

    “Well, yes, but… they loved each other first,” Steve says, oddly sincere. “I think love is worth the risk. Wouldn't you agree? And then, uh, I'm gonna take off my helmet and, like—” Steve tosses his hair, shaking it out dramatically and running a hand through it afterward to fix any wayward strands.

    "Ew,” Mike says.

    Nancy presses a hand over her mouth, but it does nothing to hide her smile. Usually, this is the point where Eddie would make them all roll initiative. Dustin has his D20 ready. But Eddie smiles. Eddie fucking smiles, and not in that maniacal way he does before siccing something horrific on them, he fucking beams, and says, "You're gonna scrape your neck on his mace doing that, just so you know."

    "sir stephen strider finds his suzie" by lesbianrobin

    Adorable, if glancing, Steddie fic, as seen through the equally adorable POV of Dustin. The young teen recognizes and supports his friends with a big-heart, but also with small town 80s resources. 😆

    Summary

    It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.

    Steve fails. They lose.

    “Steve, how many loops have you been through?”

    His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.

    “I lost count.”

    AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.

    "The One in Which a Time Loop is Fucking Exhausting." by badpancake

    A time loop fix-it fic that *Earns* the Fix.
    Steve, arguably the most cannon-fodder (canon-fodder?) of the main survivors, goes through the wringer in search of a true win -- to stop Vecna, to save Max, to save Eddie. And it only takes several hundred variant repetitions of trauma to get there! 😰🥺❤️

    Summary

    “Hey Steve, this is Jack Murphy, our other neighbor. Jack, this is Steve.” Steve looked at Sam a little wildly, expecting to see—he didn’t even know, but some reaction other than Sam’s usual easy friendliness. And there was something there, but it was just the twitch of Sam’s mouth that said he found something hilarious and he was trying not to show it. Was this Sam’s idea of a joke, or a prank? Because this guy—behind the glasses and mustache, Steve could have sworn—well, he looked like Bucky.

    Summary

    Magic is always a pain. Superman might temporarily be a toddler, but the League's knows they've gotten off easy this time: everyone's in the proper dimension, there's no annoying entity trying to teach them a lesson, and the de-aging spell should wear off without any weird consequences in less than a fortnight. Babysitting duty gets ten times more adorable with the purchase of a Justice League plushie set. Now Clark can continue his heroic adventures with his friends: fighting crime, spreading justice, and... beheading Batman?

    It's gotta be a fluke. Right? Right.

    Accidents can happen twice in a row-- no, three, four?-- times. Though probably not by the twenty second. It's definitely intentional by the thirtieth time. Probably.

    What the hell, Clark? We thought you were friends.

    Summary

    Jason comes back to Gotham to clip the new birdie’s wings and teach Batman a lesson only for the Bats to get a good glimpse at his soulmark during one of their run ins. Now they know the Red Hood is the resurrected Jason Todd…wait why are they calling him Roy? What??? Confused, Jason looks up the guy they think he is and. Fuck. That’s his soulmark!

    The Bats are trying to take down the Red Hood but after a fated encounter and some investigation, they have a new idea. Since he was Jason’s soulmate, maybe Hood isn’t all that bad and they can get him to join their side.

    "Roy Harper’s Very Weird Month" by The_stars_ship_us

    A crack-y JayRoy soulmark fic (where the soulmark is the inciting element for a mistaken identity, but not otherwise leaned into much) that subverts the Under The Red Hood arc. Bats bond over bird names, the Riddler and sharks help with family reconciliation, and Bathound is the world's greatest detective.

    Summary

    There’s dirt in his mouth, his eyes, his nose, his fucking ears. There’s entire ecosystems underneath his fingernails, digging into his body and taking him over, filling him up with dirt until there’s nothing of him left. He can’t feel anything– he can feel everything. His lungs squeezing with each minute that he goes without air, his broken and bloody nails screaming in pain as he claws through the dirt. His muscles are so tired, begging for him to just take a break, stop for a moment and rest, but he can’t, he can’t go back– he needs– he needs his dad. He needs to see him, to be back with his family, to have them hold him and take care of him and tell him that everything will be okay.

    or,

    Jason comes back completely sane, and his first task is to find his family. Too bad they dont seem to like that.

    Jason Todd was dead for two years before he came back and dig his way out of his grave. Free from brain damage, never chucked into a Lazarus Pit, he still struggles with the realizations of the ways he's been left behind and misrepresented -- and outright rejected.

    Summary

    Jason's always hated the words scrawled down the side of his chest, a black 'See you later' decreed by fate as the last words his soulmate will ever say to him. On the other hand, though they're just as generic, Dick's never seemed concerned about the 'Thank you' printed between his shoulder blades. Neither of them ever even considered that they might match.

    It was almost impossible to envision Dick decked out in glitter and spandex. No matter how he’d reach out to stroke Eleanor as if he had seen greater heights than all the rainforests of the world could offer. No matter how his eyes danced like the circus or his lips played carnie games. Jason could not quite reconcile the kid before him with the Boy Wonder of small-time circus lore.

     

    Jason joins Haly's Circus and learns to play with fire.

    "Further, Higher" by aconitemare

    What if Batman did save the Flying Graysons? What if Jason Todd didn't become a homeless orphan quite as early? (And the Court of Owls isn't an issue.) Two teenagers who've never been vigilantes meet when Jason runs away to join the circus. Jason integrated with the circus, finding a new family, but the two young men may be playing with fire in more than a few ways when they tackle a resurgent threat by bringing in Batman. Angst and puns and cute JayDick.

    “And you drink it?”

    “Well, yeah. It’s my fucking coffee, I’m not going to waste it.”

    “I’m going to kill him,” Jason decides aloud. “Next time I see that man, I’m gonna kill him.”

    “No, Jason, do not,” Dick says in the same tone Jason uses to tell his dog not to chew on his boots.

    Summary

    "Batman fights in two dimensions. In his twenties, maybe the long-distance ninja-style leaping tackles served him well, but soon he started accumulating too much scar tissue. Heavier armor equals less upward mobility (which is an ironic phrase to use about a billionaire). Nowadays he mostly fights forward and sideways. It’s clever and clinical, but it’s not inspired. Really the main word that comes to mind is “relentless.”

    "Robin fights on all three axes, X, Y, and Z. Dick’s never been able to separate the idea of impossible acrobatics from imaginary numbers. The problem is that sometimes he goes up and up and sideways and forgets which way the ground is, and then Gravity catches him again like an old ornery maiden aunt, even though he was almost sure that this time, finally, he’d left her behind him."

    Short piece comparing and contrasting Dick and Bruce based on advantages and drawbacks of their armor and battle tactics. I just thought it was interesting :)
