    Summary

    “It’s okay, you know,” Gareth says, propped up against the brick alley of the Hawk.

    Eddie’s crouched like a gremlin, shoveling popcorn into his mouth and trying to coax what he thinks is a cat out from under the dumpster. “What’s okay?” he says.

    “To like. Like him. Harrington,” Gareth says, shoving his hands in his pockets. “I’ve seen him at Melvald’s and he’s, like, weirdly charming to everyone. He even looks like he means it.”

    He does, Eddie thinks, which is what makes it so sinister. Whatever. This stretch of insanity will all be over with after the holidays, and he can go back to New York, live out his wildest dreams, and forget Steve Harrington ever took up any space in his brain at all.

    Or,

    Five years after the defeat of Vecna, Steve Harrington runs an animal sanctuary.

    Summary

    “How - ” Fraser cleared his throat. “How long is the contract?”

    “Six months,” Ray told the stew.

    “And will you,” he stopped. Ray heard the deep breath he took. Taking it on the chin, attaboy, Ben. “Are you planning to come back here, afterwards?”

    Summary

    You try your damnedest to burn it out, but Luke’s face sticks in your head. Lingers like a whiff of ozone, and no matter how hard you try to forget it when you close your eyes behind the visor of your helmet, there’s the haunting outline of his lips mapped out in your head like a constellation. His mouth. His eyes. His single bare hand, ever so gently cupped around Grogu’s body like he knew how important it was to you that he be touched like he was precious.

    And it must have worked, because you let Grogu go with him. Maybe that’s why you can’t stop thinking about that moment—how it felt to hold unwavering and long sustained eye contact with a man for perhaps the first time in the whole of your lonely life.

    Summary

    Din’s heart is in his goddamned throat. Surely—surely, Luke Skywalker is not going to go change into the sexy outfit he wore to try and seduce the man who married his sister. Surely not. Din’s life wasn’t that ridiculous…or else it wasn’t ridiculous in that way. He could survive any number of things: blaster fire, his ship crashing, Imperial scouts, other bounty hunters. But he’s not sure he knows how to weather this particular storm. So in Luke’s absence, he lifts his helmet up just enough to suck down three burning gulps from the spotchka bottle, just to take the edge off of waiting for this impossible thing.
