    Summary

    "Steve Harrington never says no to anyone."

    When he first heard someone say it, he thought maybe it was just a weird way for people to say that Steve was too nice, which made sense to Lucas. Despite the fact he used to be a huge public facing douchebag, Steve was nice. Almost painfully so. Sure he called them shitheads sometimes and argued with them like he was their mom, but he was always there when they needed him and always saving them from the end of the world at the expense of his own physical safety. Steve Harrington was nice, and Lucas thought it was cool that other people were realizing that. But the more he heard that sentence, the more it felt like that wasn’t what anyone was implying. The more he heard it, the more it kind of made Lucas’ skin itch.

    Or, the one where Lucas realizes maybe the basketball team isn't where he should be trying to fit in.

    Summary

    “Come to ask for an autograph?” Eddie asked.

    “Was it an original?”

    “You don’t recognize Sabbath? Black Sabbath? Ozzy Osbourne?”

    Altar boy tilted his head to one side like a confused puppy.

    “That’s devastating, altar boy.”

    “Steve.”

    “Huh?”

    “My name’s Steve, incase you feel like serenading some more, and, uh, I’m not an altar boy.”

    “No?” Eddie’s eyes flicked over him. “You look like one.”

    “I’m surprised you’d know, I doubt you’ve ever stepped foot inside a church.”

    “And what? You’re gonna change that for me?”

    Steve let out an amused exhale. “I suppose no one’s past saving, but you might be a close call.”

    “Lucky for you, I didn’t ask for saving. Long live the devil, baby.”

    Summary

    Night fell in Grimmauld Place like a thick black cloak. Looking at it, all looked still. But within, if you were watching closely, if you listened very carefully, you found that the fabric really covered very little. It was more the darkness you had to get through.

    Regulus was listening.

    THIS IS A LONG FIC WITH A LOT OF HEADCANON. We start before Sirius and Regulus are even in Hogwarts and I literally have plot planned through the war. We explore characters in depth. You're going to hate and love (but mostly love) every single character in the fic by the end if I've done my job correctly. Well. Except for a few of them. We don't play apologetics for child abuse here. If you like it, please tell me. If you don't, please write your opinion down on a piece of paper, then burn it :)
