    Summary

    Doctor Julian Subatoi Bashir, Lieutenant, shouldn’t have been in charge of the Federation Relief Effort. But here he was: briefing volunteers, dispensing energy credits, arranging marriages, and trying to meet up with Garak for a literary flirtation over a private meal. (There was no such thing as a private meal with Garak but Julian was getting used to the security drones and the paparazzi.)

    He had everything under control - for most definitions of control - when Admiral Jellico arrived to relieve him. And while Jellico’s leadership style might not have been a great fit for the relief effort, it was 100% what Julian needed to enact an over-the-top bid to get his lizard.

    Or: the the one where...

    Julian accidentally encouraged a generation to take up recreational swimming, forced a planet-wide revision of the public decency laws, and then made it up to Garak by recreating the most famous scene from the Cardassian Union’s most pirated porn as a public declaration of love.

    Summary

    Sure, he kind of figured people might make it a big deal. After all, it wasn’t just Sam Owens as their coach talking up how this men’s team for USA Gymnastics could be the ones to break the streak since the Trials — it’s the whole of the gymnastics world, and goddamn if people didn’t love an underdog. It’s only that he’d just also sort of figured it’ll be about all of them: him and Lucas and McKinney and the rest of them. But they’d latched onto him, and now Steve has people tweeting about him and asking if he has a girlfriend or a boyfriend or someone, making memes and TikToks and edits, there’s a fucking timer, apparently, on NBC, or so Erica’s saying there’s gonna be (and historically she can’t be trusted not to lie to Steve’s damn face for fun, so he’ll believe it when he sees it, right), when Finals for the team come around, counting down to his event. The Harrington countdown. And, like, someone called him Clark Kent during the team qualifications? Like! What the fuck. How fuckin’ wild, right? Him. Jesus!

    Or: This Steve's job is horse. Also, he's got an unfortunate crush on a middle-aged former rock star.

    Summary

    “You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t believe you, Harrington. Straight boys don’t get off thinking about dick. That’s an indisputable fact of the universe, and a key point in my own personal doctrine.”

    And maybe Steve should laugh, shrug, call it a night. He should do that, re-examine all of this when he’s sober.

    He doesn’t. Instead, he says, “Try me.”

    Eddie lifts himself up on an elbow, turning to his side so that he’s looming over Steve when he says, “Just to confirm…”

    Steve nods encouragingly, bolstered by the absence of a dismissive laugh, an awkward change of topic.

    “You’re saying that you want me,” Eddie continues, eyes darting between Steve’s, “to talk about fucking a dude. To see if you get hard.”

    —

    Or; Steve’s pretty sure he could get hard while thinking about gay sex, even though he’s straight. Eddie’s just along for the ride.

    Summary

    Hellfire is down one member due to a basketball game, so Dustin is looking for replacements. Who better to call than Steve Harrington?

    Too bad Steve says no. Even worse, Steve decides to make it his problem to confront Eddie Munson for messing with his rugrats' unbreakable bond because, really, wasn't Eddie the adult here? Shouldn't he be the one making the better call?

    (OR: Steve Harrington unwittingly forces himself into Eddie Munson's introduction to the Upside Down)

    (OR, OR: Season 4 rewrite where Eddie is both metal and gay, and Steve is a tired babysitter (mom) who makes a comment that leads to the wrong conclusion... but maybe... it's not wrong? Maybe it actually makes a whole lot of sense, now that he thinks about it...)

    (OR, OR, OR: Season 4, but Eddie doesn't run and Mike doesn't go to California. And it changes pretty much everything.)
