    💜💜💜💜
    Wayne’s POV of that no good Harrington boy stringing Eddie along.

    Love rereading this every 6 months. Such a great fic!

    Summary

    "You here about the car?" the guy asks, and Eddie nods. 

    Then he leans over, grabbing a set of keys off the table, and giving them a toss to Eddie. Closing his front door behind him, "Test drive?"

    Eddie nods dumbly. He doesn't really have time to bullshit around, but the car is gorgeous and the guy is stunning, and well, the other guys can surely handle this until he can catch up. Ten extra minutes won't hurt. He's already late.

     

    Or: Steve joins Eddie on a Smokey and The Bandit style run.

    💜💜💜💜 Loved!! So fun!
    The trucker fic we didn’t know we needed
    Tiny bit of smut.
    Perfect on its own, but wish it had a sequel.

    Summary

    "What about you, Ed?" Lloyd asks, wiping mustard and vinegar from his mustache with a crumpled up wad of napkin. "Got yourself a girlfriend?"

    He looks over at his newest hire, seated in the chair to his left, cheeks all puffed out around a mouthful of the best meatball hero in Boston, and arches his eyebrows expectantly.

    "Something like that," Ed confirms, though it comes out muffled, half the consonants stripped away by ground beef and mozzarella and a sourdough roll so good it'll make you slap your mother.

    -------

    Or, five times Eddie's boss thinks his partner "Stevie" is a woman, and one time he learns the truth.

    Summary

    “Are you alright?” Steve asks, walking over and glancing down. “Need a hand?”

    “It’s fine, just leave me here.” The man in question sighs and shakes his head, eyes still closed as he lays in the middle of the sidewalk.

    “I…” Steve starts, looking around at the pedestrians who peer over their shoulders as they step around the scene carefully. “I could, but then when I see a headline later that a man was found frozen to the sidewalk outside Dunkin, I’ll probably feel bad.”

    Mystery Man brushes the hair out of his face and cracks one eye open— big and brown— and Steve thinks the guy might start crying.

    What the fuck is going on this morning? He wonders to himself.

    “Ice is fucking slippery.”

    “Yeah, that’s kind of its thing. C’mon,” Steve extends a hand that Mystery Man finally accepts, his gloved hand soft and velvety in Steve’s bare hand.

    “Thanks. I’m uh, I’m Eddie.”

    “Steve.”

    Or, Gym Teacher and Hockey Coach Steve Harrington meets Eddie Munson outside of a Dunkin Donuts. As any New Englander knows, it's the beginning of a beautiful thing.
