[skullrockbi]

just some guy steve getting into a verbal argument with venue security bc they won't let him through to backstage after a CC concert. eventually, eddie's personal body guard comes out and steve is like "thank god, can you please tell them i'm not a threat to the security of the band and to let me through?"

venue security is humiliated when they're told that they were threatening to call the cops on the lead guitarist's husband

Hi new friends. Please don’t censor words, especially triggering ones. Seeing trigger words written l!ke th!s doesn’t stop them from being triggering.

It just stops Tumblr’s built in filter (see under settings) from working which many of us have in place to protect ourselves.

This has happened to me multiple times this week, and as someone currently struggling with suicidal ideation, has not been great.

You are not on TikTok or Insta, please use the full words so people can protect themselves. Thank you 💖

Y’all, @libraryofgage made my little idea a million times better. And it got lost from me for two whole months! Tumblr should be ashamed of itself for not making sure I saw this. 💕💕💕💕

Corroded Coffin are celebrating an album release in Vegas. Eddie gets bored of the VIP area at the club & wanders The Strip. Standing at the Bellagio fountain is the most beautiful man he’s ever seen. Eddie pushes past some douchey looking dudes in business casual to reach him.

Eddie falls to one knee. “Will you marry me?” Steve who is bored with his business man life and hates his friends takes one look at this random proposing man with wild hair and leather pants and says “Yes.”

[skullrockbi]

What about Steve being a huge Corroded Coffin fan without knowing what the band members look like? Him meeting Eddie thinking he's just a regular guy and then they fall in love.

One day Steve plays one of their songs and is nodding his head and mumbling the words and Eddie is just surprised that he hasnt realized who hes dating. Steve even says that the singer kinda sounds like Eddie.

Steve only finds out when someone takes a picture of them and he sees himself online with the captain "lead guitarist of Corroded Coffin has a boyfriend?" Steve is all shocked and then Googles what the lead guitarist looks like and just sees thousands of pictures of Eddie

Thinking about frat boys Tommy and Steve doing one of those gay4pay pornos. For Tommy its a chance to work out the lowkey lust he feels towards Steve, but for Steve - who's never been with another guy before - it's absolutely eye-opening.

The filming goes well, the two have a fun time, and Tommy leaves hoping that it could end up with them in some kind of a friends with benefits scenario, with him actually getting the chance to fuck Steve, because they hadn't needed to for the video.

But Steve - after a quick shower and change - heads to the bar he likes to frequent, the one with the sexy bartender that always flirts with Steve whenever he comes in.

Because sex with Tommy was okay, but the feeling he gets around Eddie is like electricity, tingling all the way to the tips of his fingers and toes. Now that he knows what it's like to be with a guy, he wants to see if Eddie can make him feel the same way in the bedroom as he does out of it.

Image Eddie's surprise when his favorite customer walks in looking all wide-eyed and eager and says "Are you free later? I just got done filming a porno with another guy and all I could think about was it being your hands on me instead, and I'd like to make that a real thing if you're game."

And ohhhh Eddie is so fucking game.

a love like oxygen

title from Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks, Lariat

1.2k | G | modern au, falling in love, pure freakin fluff because it felt needed today.

Washed up rock star Eddie looking to reignite meaning into his life decides to buy a run down farm on one hundred acres of land back in Indiana. He finds it some level of hilarious when he finds acreage for sale in Wayne County, calling his Uncle Wayne when the deal is done.

“Hell, kid, not sure what yer getting up to with all this,”  Wayne admonished fondly.

“Midlife crisis, I guess.” Eddie answered back a little too honest and raw.

The next few months are a whirlwind. Corroded Coffin had been on indefinite hiatus for over two years when he made the purchase. Jeff was producing music out in New York, Gareth found his way back to the Midwest and was working in Chicago playing percussion in the goddamn Orchestra, and Freak had stayed in L.A. as a bit of an underground influencer and some nameless DJ in the resurging rave scene.

And Eddie,

He was knee deep in mud and debris as he tried his best to build a chicken coop. The old farmhouse had a decent face lift of it's own that Eddie felt comfortable in, his big splurge was a luxury bathroom with a large tub. The rest of the home was more restored to its original roots than anything else. His phone ringing with a FaceTime from his Uncle, Eddie debated answering and gave in before the call ended.

Wayne took him in and started laughing, “D’ya even know how to use those tools, boy? Maybe hire someone to give ya a hand. Old man like me wouldn’t be too useful but I know someone.”

Eddie insisted he wanted to do this himself.

“What if he’s more of a guide for this? Helps ya through it, someone who knows his way around a toolbox…and a…jeez kid, you getting chickens?”

Eddie groaned to himself and gives in. There’s something equal parts patronizing and comforting when Wayne calls him kid. Eddie was thirty-eight with three Grammy nominees and one win under his belt and clueless.

Two days later had a big forest green pick-up truck coming onto his property, the guy hopping out had sunglasses obscuring his face, but his body was solid and toned in a way that made Eddie ache to be physical. He cleared his throat as he approached.

The guy shoved the sunglasses atop his head, moving the tousled bronze hair off his face and revealing clear amber eyes, a strong jaw, and moles dotted on his skin almost artfully placed. Eddie had never seen cargo pants look sexy on anyone, but this right here? On this man—pornographic.

He nodded in Eddie’s direction, “Nice plot of land you’ve got here.”

His smile laid back and easy as his eyes landed on Eddie.

Eddie wasn’t going to survive this.

Because in the next few weeks Steve was there all the time. In his fitted white tee shirts that got dirtier as the day wore on and his stupid cargo pants, and his teasing insults always starting with ‘hey rockstar…’

One day Steve showed up with a trailer attached to his truck, “Hey man, I’ve got a question for you and I don’t mean to put you in a bad spot, you can say no.”

Eddie had never really seen Steve frazzled and today that’s what he was, hair a mess in no artful way and dark circles smudged under his usually bright eyes.

“What can I say no to?” Eddie joked back as he twisted his hair up into a messy bun.

Steve’s eyes tracked the movement, something Eddie had been catching onto, the way Steve sometimes looked at him.

Steve cleared his throat and gathered his thoughts, “So I do a lot of odd jobs on the farms out here, and uh, unfortunately a few months ago old man Hagan passed and his son was supposed to be taking care of the property…and well I stopped by yesterday, and he’s just… gone. Left the place for I don’t know how long and well, Betty just deserves so much better, she was all alone out there, he must’ve sold the horses but poor Betty—”

Eddie cut him off, “And who’s Betty?”

Steve tugged at hand through his hair, “Oh, yes, um right, let me get her…”

Steve opened the door of the trailer as a slightly underfed donkey trotted out. Her muzzle whiskery as she snorted at them she approached, directly to Eddie with a sweet whinnying noise.

“He just left her?” Eddie asked, already feeling like a sucker, she was adorable.

Steve nodded.

Eddie’s purpose aligned without him knowing.

Betty was the first rescue on what became Hellfire Sanctuary, a ranch dedicated to rehoming abandoned farm animals or giving them a forever place to spend their days. Eddie knew what it was like to be given up, luckily he had Wayne in those years, but he still knew the feeling. The Jennie’s big brown eyes and long lashes tugged at his heartstrings.

Through the build outs and all the property fencing Steve was there.

Navigating a half functioning farm come winter months and Steve was there.

The sign being placed above the opening gate Steve was there.

On Eddie’s worst and best days Steve was there.

The chickens clucked happily in their coop as Eddie tossed the feed in, he used to just be going to bed at five in the morning…and now he was feeding animals and humming tunes to himself as he made the morning rounds.

The sun was starting to peek over his property, a golden glow making the dew clinging to grass seem to sparkle like the most precious jewels, he heard the familiar engine of Steve’s truck as it pulled up the path and parked.

Bingo bounded out of his vehicle and over to Eddie, the Blue Heeler’s whole behind wriggled with excitement as he approached, Steve’s smile seemed even more stunning than the sunrise.

Eddie set down the food pail as he gave Bingo some love.

Steve looked over the property, “Perfect morning, what a slice of heaven, huh?”

Eddie stood back up next to Steve, “Yeah, didn’t know this was what I was missing.”

“Is that right, rockstar?” Steve breathed out.

“I almost have everything a guy could want.”

“Almost?” Steve whispered between them as the animals fed and stirred, birds chirping, and the sound of the close by river moving lazily.

Eddie’s guts felt twisted on the precipice of the moment, his pinky knocked against Steve’s. His heart jackrabbiting beneath his ribcage as Steve hooked his pinky against Eddie’s.

“If you want it, it’s yours.” Steve moved his hand to hold Eddie’s properly.

Such an innocent gesture and Eddie had never been so winded in his life.

“I’m yours.” Steve breathed out into the summer morning, sun climbing up, and a property that was because of them.

Eddie turned and looked at Steve, his eyes tracking over the features of Steve’s face. He leaned in and kissed him. Months accumulated into over a year of fixing this place together, of finding it's purpose. Late nights and early mornings, learning how to care for the land and the animals he had taken in.

How to care for himself.

Kissing Steve was home.

Eddie was finally home.

[skullrockbi]

Eddie was at Steve’s house to swim. He had just taken off shirt when Steve caught a glimpse of his back.

Steve: *sarcastically* Wow, who's the woman who gave you those?

Eddie froze, not wanting to admit that he tried to rescue another raccoon.

Eddie: *smirking* Just some girl I met at the Hideout last night. She's sooo wild!

Steve: *scowled* You're fucking cheating on me, already?!

Eddie: *squeaking* We're dating?!

Steve: Eddie, you asked me a week ago if I wanted to be more than friends with you!

Eddie: I meant best friends!

Steve pressed his hands to his face.

Steve: I can't tell who's the idiot. . .you or me!

Eddie: This is not on you, Stevie, I should have known when you kissed me!

Steve: *putting his hands on his hips* Yeah, no, that should have been your biggest clue. . .especially when you put your tongue in my mouth.

Eddie: This is definitely on me.

Steve: *rolling his eyes* So, who is this wild girl who treated your back like a scratching post?

Eddie: *throwing his hands in the air* It's a raccoon, okay?! It was a fucking raccoon I tried to rescue at the Hideout last night!

Steve laughed.

Steve: You're an idiot, Eddie Munson.

Robin: I feel like we need a metalhead in our friend group.

Steve: We are not getting a metalhead.

They get a metalhead anyway.

Steve and the metalhead he didn't want:

[skullrockbi]

[skullrockbi]

Eddie: You ready to commit?

Steve: Like a crime or a relationship?

Eddie: Currently a crime, but we can talk more later.
