    Summary

    Draco can think of only one way to outclass his pleat-front-khaki-wearing politician ex, and that’s by making headlines with an obvious upgrade. And who better to upstage the cheating bastard than the Saviour of the World, Harry Potter himself? Sure, Potter is a little rough around the edges in ripped jeans, a rumpled tartan shirt, and a permanent scowl. Draco reckons a haircut and a shave wouldn’t hurt, either. But Potter is also in need of a Healer willing to keep his secrets, and Draco is just the man for the job. It’s a perfectly reasonable exchange. They need only attend a couple parties arm-in-arm, smile nicely for the paparazzi, and tolerate each other long enough to convince everyone they’re smitten. In return, Draco will keep Potter alive and in one piece.

    But it isn’t long before Draco realises he might be in over his head, because Potter is ten tonnes of trouble packed into a leather jacket, and seems keen on hurtling himself towards death on the back of a flying motorbike. And that says nothing of Potter’s penchant for fire-breathing beasts and things that bite.

    Ah well, at least they’ll have some fun while it lasts. After all, Draco always did like a bit of danger.

    Summary

    The descent is slow, like watching someone knock your mom’s favorite crystal vase off the shelf and the sheer horror and panic that overwhelms you and slows time down, makes you think that you can get across the room in time to catch it.
    But you never do, do you?
    The vase shatters and with it, so does every preconceived notion you have of yourself.
    That’s what Steve learns.
    He learns how to fall, gracefully even.
    And in the end, he learns how to shatter.

    Or

    Steve saves Eddie in the Upside Down and it's hilarious and it broke Steve wide open.

    There is family, and oh god, there is so much love.

    Summary

    “Still not graduated, Harrington?”
     
    It’s something Eddie would have said teasingly when they were teens. Steve would have smacked him on the shoulder, affectionately calling him an asshole before being pulled into an apologetic kiss. But they are not teenagers anymore and Eddie’s voice lacks any of the warmth that used to be reserved for Steve. Now, it’s just loaded with resentment, which, yeah, is a fair reaction.
     
    “I…eh…work here now,” Steve says lamely and points at his office door. “Guidance counselor.”
     
    or: 14 years after his first big heartbreak, Steve's life is relatively stable. It's been two years since the tragic incident that led to him becoming Dustin's guardian, both of them slowly healing. He is doing amazing at his job and his social life is great. Of course, that's when a person from Steve's past has to come and shake everything up.

    Summary

    There are worse ways to discover you have a soulmate, probably.

    Steve can’t think of any, but there are.

    OR

    The “soulmates share pain” AU where the bond kicks into action and the only thing Steve can think is: that’s what bats feel like. And he knows exactly what that means.
