    Summary

    "Hey Dustin?" Steve says, gathering all the courage left in his heart.

    "Yeah?" Dustin replies, not turning around.

    "Hey about uh... some of the stuff that I said earlier. I just-"

    Dustin doesn't let him finish. "It's fine," he interrupts him. "It's okay."

    But Steve knows it isn't. The bitter aftertaste of the hateful words he's said is still lingering in his mouth. "No, just- It's not okay."

    Dustin freezes.

    "Eddie," Steve starts, the name ringing in his ears. "He saved your life. Our lives. And I know what he meant to you. I can't even imagine how hard it's been. But instead of just being there for you, I just..." he trails off, twisting the spear in his hands, absentmindedly. "Well, I got angry about it. I guess..."

    Dustin looks at him, but he doesn't quite understand.

    "I got angry, because things were different."

    Summary

    “Are you sure he’s gonna be into the whole secret admirer thing?” Steve asked. “You don’t think he’ll assume it’s a prank or try to hunt me down immediately?”

    “I hope not,” she said, incredibly unconvincing. “I think he’ll like it though, he might not make it known but I think he’s secretly a bit of a romantic. All those stories he makes up for his club. He was in theatre last year and I swear he loves Shakespeare. I think it’ll charm him.”

    Or while working at Scoops Ahoy Steve develops a crush on Eddie Munson who works across the way. Unsure of how to go about it he decides to become Eddie's secret admirer.

    Summary

    "How'd it start for you?" Eddie asks.

    Steve sighs and gestures to the pool with his cigarette. "Right here," he says. Eddie tilts his head, uncomprehending. Such a tiny gesture, yet it makes something in Steve cringe, knowing what it means.

    "Has anybody told you about Barb?" he asks. Eddie shakes his head.

    -

    Steve teaches Eddie how to swim, and confronts a few things about himself in the process.

    Summary

    Clearly Iwaizumi had a checkered past. Kyoutani has never asked about it, nor has Iwaizumi ever brought it up. He knows it’s a sore spot for his mentor, just like the gorgeous Monte Carlo he keeps hidden away is, so he leaves it alone. Out on the streets, you learn a little something about when to turn a blind eye in order to survive; Kyoutani knows better than most to leave the past of men like Iwaizumi well alone.

    It’s probably got something to do with the boy in the polaroids, though.

    Retired pickpocket & conman Iwaizumi Hajime receives an invitation he can't possibly decline, pulling him back into his old life to work a job with his old friends and ex-lover Oikawa Tooru. His mostly-legit apprentice Kyoutani gets dragged along for the ride. It's a complete mess.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Legitimately my favorite fic of all time. Like this was actually life-altering and massively raised my standards for everything. I want to discuss this in English class. I want to read analyses of it on Tumblr. I could wax poetic about this story until the day I die.

    Summary

    "O-okay, fine! Fine! I'll tell you, just don't laugh," she surrenders, face flushing hot, "you know about alternate universes, right? I told you?"

    "Of course." He leans forward.

    "W-well, there's got to be some universal constants across most universes, right? So, uh, I was just wondering..." and her voice softens into a pink shade of shy, "do you think we would be friends? In every universe?"

    (Or: Alphys and Mettaton, across timelines and lifetimes and universes.)
