Summary
The screenshot presented to him is a blurry motion capture of what appears to be an honest to god amazon wielding a baseball bat struck through with nails. He looks at the bat and at the amazon’s wavy mass of brown hair, obscuring half her face in her movement, and Eddie is struck by a sense of foreboding as his eyes tick down, down, down —
Helpfully, Gareth angles the poster board so Eddie can get a better look at the comments, and yep. There is is.
EDMUNSON, blue check and all, had commented below some woman’s TikTok, “step on me,” and then nothing else. There were more likes on it, he saw, than the screenshotted video, but not by much — though given just how many likes both had he wasn’t exactly comforted — and a truly alarming amount of replies under that.
Eddie asks, “Did she go viral before or after my comment?”
In which Eddie takes some meclizine and Zofran on a transatlantic flight, and slides into a TikTok baddie's DMs.

Summary
After his closeted fiancé calls off their engagement, Draco refuses to sit across from his parents, Theo, and Theo's newly arranged bride-to-be without some kind of retribution. He wants a temporary stand-in fiancé to keep his parents from their I-told-you-so. Someone to weather the traditional Twelve Days of Christmas with. What he gets is Harry Potter.
As a straight man, maybe Harry shouldn't jump on the opportunity to be another man's fake significant other, but he's pretty secure in his sexuality. Harry can sacrifice for the sake of justice. The more he gets to know this adult Draco, the more his curiosity gets the best of him. While everyone else seems to have their lives together, Draco is the first person who seems just as confused about how to manage as he is.
Together, they have to survive the family dinners from hell, every guest the Malfoys invite to their home for the holiday season, and the pitfalls of liking each other more than either is willing to admit.

Summary
“Harrington,” he croaks - god why, why do I have to sound like that in front of him - he clears his throat, continuing, “you couldn’t have done me a favour and let me die in that shithole, spare me from Dustin?”
Steve finally turns to look at him, grinning madly. Fuck, Eddie thinks, fuck this is so unfair. You’re just standing there looking at me like that, smiling, all broad and pretty and scarred up, fuuuck.
---
Alternatively titled: the Steve Harrington bisexual crashout of 1986. Because vecna might be dead- but repressing your feelings (and trying therapeutic D&D with the direct cause of your identity crisis)- is quite enough to be getting on with.
