Alex Manes parked his Explorer in the dusty parking lot of the Wild Pony and hoped he wasnât making a huge mistake. He usually played small, intimate venues in big cities, not small town cowboy bars. From the outside, it looked like this place had left the alien theme that the rest of Roswell embraced behind. Small favors, he thought.
Alex pulled out his phone and reviewed the gig details Liz had sent him yesterday. Heâd met Dr. Liz Ortecho during the six months or so heâd been in Colorado, and when she heard heâd be passing through her hometown, she hadnât wasted any time in reaching out to her best friend and owner of the Wild Pony to set him up with a show. Liz was scary-smart when it came to science, but surveying his surroundings, he thought it might have been a mistake to trust her judgment on playing a set at this venue. But, he was here, so he might as well go inside and see what he was working with.
It was still too early for the post-work crowd when Alex stepped into the Wild Pony, and there were only a handful of people in the whole place, including an honest-to-god cowboy, complete with Stetson hat, sitting at the bar. He almost bailed then and there. The last thing Alex wanted to do was play for a crowd whose musical tastes were firmly in the Luke Bryan camp.
As he hesitated on the threshold, still undecided, the jukebox in the corner started playing an old Third Eye Blind songâseemingly of its own volitionâat the same time the cowboy turned. Honey-brown eyes locked with his, and the jolt it sent through Alexâs body was unexpected. He didnât have time to consider what that might mean before the man grinned and pushed away from the bar.
âAlex Manes?â he called as he actually swaggered across the space between them.
The guy had either gone all-in on the cowboy aesthetic, or he was an actual rancher, because he was dressed the part from head-to-toe: black hat, plaid shirt, dark-wash jeans, huge fucking belt buckle, and a pair of well-worn boots. Either way, it was a good look on him.
âAlex? Youâre Lizâs friend?â The question was more tentative this time, and Alex realized heâd been too busy staring and hadnât actually responded.
âUh, yeah. Um, hi,â he stammered. Oh god, get it together. âIs Maria DeLuca here?â
âMariaâs in the back, sheâll be out in a minute. Iâm Michael. Michael Guerin,â he said, extending his hand.
âNice to meet you.â Guerinâs hand was warm and solid when Alex took it in his own, and Alex could feel the calluses on his palm. Maybe a real cowboy, then, he thought. Or at least used to working with his hands.
Alex realized he still had Michaelâs hand in his own, had been holding it much longer than a conventional handshake would dictate, and dropped it abruptly. He rubbed his hand on the seam of his jeans in a futile attempt to erase the lingering tingle in his palm.
Michael clocked the motion and gave him an assessing look. âYou go on in what, an hour?â When Alex nodded, he continued, âThen let me buy you a drink. I think Iâd like to get to know you, Alex Manes.â
Alex smiled and gestured for Michael to lead the way. âAs long as you let me pick up the second round.â
He hadnât planned on staying in Roswell long, but he thought that might change, if drinks with the handsome cowboy went the way he hoped.

DPxDC Dead Tired Coffeeshop Accident
For one reason or another, Danny is now living in Gotham and working in a coffeeshop. For one reason or another, Tim frequents the same coffeeshop.
Now, both of them are honest to god messes who treat sleep like a grave enemy. Meaning they both survive on coffee, spite, energy drinks, and their respective hyperfocuses.
They don't even talk, really, they just see each other from time to time: Tim knows the barista who looks like he's been dead for weeks is named Danny, and Danny knows how to make Tim's Death Wish with his eyes closed, but other than that, they are just strangers who largely don't care about each other.
That is, until one time after his patrol, Tim comes to the said coffeeshop in his Red Robin gear. He doesn't even think about it, he simply needs coffee. He comes to the counter. He orders. His voice is tired and emotionless. He just wants his coffee and maybe stare at a wall for a few hours until his brain reboots. Danny takes his order without even looking at him. He has been sitting and staring at a wall for a few hours, night shifts are literally killing him.
They are both so done.
Red Robin waits for his coffee. Danny makes it almost automatically, his mind elsewhere. The coffeeshop is empty, save for them two. It's four in the morning. Nothing feels real.
Danny sets the cup on the counter.
"One Death Wish for Tim," he says out of a habit, not fully registering they are alone, and he doesn't need to do that.
Tim takes the coffee without thinking, nods a silent 'thank you'. Brings the cup up to his mouth-
And notices a glove on his own hand.
He is in Red Robin get up.
He freezes and looks at the barista, who is cleaning the coffeemachine. Danny, noticing him looking, also looks back at him. Did he make the wrong order? He knows Tim's soul, he's seen it a lot, he couldn't have mistaken him for anyone else, but maybe he forgot to add syrup?..
There's a domino mask on Tim's face. A vigilante domino mask.
They stare at each other. No one moves. No one blinks. The sun is rising somewhere over the city.
Tim takes a sip of his coffee. Danny goes back to cleaning the coffeemachine.
They never speak of this again, but Tim becomes a regular here in both of his personas.

Eddie's a mechanic, has a shop in Indy. It's only got two bays, but he owns it, he saved up the money, it's his. He runs it with Wayne, is building up a customer base. He loves it.
Within the year, a bakery opens up next door, separated from Eddie's shop by a narrow alley. He has a perfect view into the bakery's kitchen from the shop's office, and almost immediately catches a glimpse of the drop-dead gorgeous guy behind the mixing bowl. He's got sun-golden skin, swoopy brown hair, wide puppy dog eyes, the poutiest mouth, and a face dotted with freckles. Eddie gapes at him for a solid two-minutes, salivating over the bunch and pull of his muscles as he kneads a ball of dough. A wet dream come true.
Eddie's always sneaking glances at the shop next door, can't seem to keep his gaze off the most beautiful man he's ever seen. Over the next few months, he becomes familiar with this herd of kids that hang around the bakery at all hours. There's one, curly-haired and mouthy, who often makes the baker frown with his hands on his hips, but as soon as the boy walks away, the baker smiles all wide and fond.
It's a silly crush, no big deal. He has a weakness for brown-eyed pretty boys, so what? It's not like he's going to do anything crazy, like make a move.
It's past midnight, a few months after the bakery opens, and Eddie's in his little office, doing the monthly accounting. He's exhausted, tired of calculators and numbers, when a flash of light catches at the corner of his eye. He blinks a few times, sure it's the exhaustion setting in, but it doesn't go away.
Instead, there's a light on over at the bakery. It's a kitchen light, and the baker is standing at the stainless steel counter, looking unlike Eddie's ever seen. His hair is a soft wave, swooping onto his forehead. He wears grey sweatpants and a yellow sweatshirt. Tonight, his movements are less precise and practiced; he's slow and contemplative as he gathers ingredients and mixing bowls.
It's been long enough Eddie should look away, but he forgets that it isn't a dream, that he's actually watching the baker roll up his sleeves as he whisks. It's inevitable that, eventually, the baker catches Eddie staring. He just smiles, though, and waves. Eddie manages to return the greeting before awareness smacks him in the face, and he flees the office and the building in acute embarrassment.
They share waves after that. Smiles. Laughter once when Eddie's reading over an invoice and walking, smacks face-first into the doorframe. Eye rolls after the baker gets into an impassioned argument with the curly-haired boy, one that involves a copious amount of thrown flour.
They exchange waves and smiles and goofy expressions, and it shouldn't escalate further, but one day Eddie steps into the shop's waiting room to find the curly-haired boy sitting behind the reception desk, flipping through Eddie's new dnd guide.
"What." Eddie says.
"You," says the boy. He's pointing and glaring and Eddie is a little scared.
"Me?"
"You like dnd?"
He hopes his sigh of relief isn't audible. "Best DM this town has ever seen." He postures and smirks.
"Doubt it," the boy says.
Eddie lets out an offended squeak, dramatically smashes his hand over his heart. "Insulted! Maligned! In my own place of business! Oh!" He falls into a dramatic swoon.
The boy snickers. "I'm Dustin," he says.
"Eddie." They shake hands and Eddie does not laugh at how overly serious this is all is. "Sir Dustin, what brings you to my fine establishment?"
Dustin shrugs. "Steve."
"Steve?"
Dustin rolls his eyes. "The bakery."
"Oh," Eddie says. Steve. The baker is Steve.
He's having a little trouble breathing, sure he's done something wrong, a distinct feeling of doom settling on his shoulders. "Why?"
"He won't stop talking about the mechanic next door but refuses to introduce himself. Plus, I saw your D20 tattoo the other day."
Eddie's barely hearing him, reeling over the knowledge that Steve talks about him to his gaggle of children. He barely hears the rest of the conversation, but the next day Dustin shows up with the rest of the kids, Lucas, Mike, Max, El, Erica, Will.
They're loud, chaotic, wild, and somehow--before they leave--they've coerced him into running a one-shot for them. They come by in twos and threes for the rest of the week, eating all the snacks in the waiting room mini-fridge and talking at him and Wayne as they work.
It's Friday, it's sweltering, he's closing the shop for the night with the top of his coveralls hanging off hips, his sweat soaked undershirt tossed behind a tool chest. He steps into the waiting area and nearly jumps out of his skin to find a man there, holding a plastic container.
Steve.
"H--hi," he stutters. And fuck, he's shirtless. He's standing in front of Steve for the first time and his nipples are out. This is it, the moment he finally dies of embarrassment.
Steve's eyes are locked on Eddie's torso for a few seconds too long, cheeks flushing. He blinks, finally looking at Eddie's face. "I'm Steve. From the--the bakery next door?" He points. "I--uh--I wanted to stop by and apologize?"
"What?" Eddie asks. There's too much happening for him to keep up.
"Um, the kids?"
And Eddie can't fathom why he needs to apologize, can only stare at Steve in confused disbelief.
"It's just. They can be kind of a handful. I used to babysit Mike and the whole group of them started following me around, and--Anyway, I think Dustin took it upon himself to try to introduce us. I've been wondering where they keep disappearing off to, and Max told me today that they're here with you, and I thought I probably owed you an apology. You're trying to work and I know they can be a bunch of shitheads, and oh my god, I'm rambling, I really am turning into Robin, Jesus Christ."
Eddie is fucked. Oh he's so fucked. He's charmed, endeared, can't stop smiling at Steve who is somehow even more beautiful up close.
"I forgive you," Eddie says. "They're nice kids."
Steve lets out a hard breath. "They are, huh?" He smiles. "Don't let them hear you say that. You'll never get a moment's peace. And they shouldn't have been over here bothering you, anyway."
"It wasn't a bother. Though, they did eat all my snacks and swindle me into running a one-shot for them. Still not sure how that happened."
Steve laughs and his eyes crinkle at the corner. So fucked. So fucked. "I should've known that you play that game of theirs."
"Aw, not a dnd fan, Stevie?"
Steve blushes. "It's--there's a lot of math."
Eddie laughs, already knows he's never getting over this one. "You bake professionally."
"It's different?" Steve laughs. "Fine, fine! You got me, it's not my thing."
"Bet I could change your mind," Eddie says. He doesn't mean to be flirting, can't stop himself.
"I bet you could," Steve agrees. He moves his hand, like maybe he's going to run it through his swoop of hair, then seems to remember he's holding baked goods. "Oh, uh, please take these cupcakes as my apology for accidentally saddling you with my group of semi-feral children."
"You're already forgiven, but I'll never say no to a cupcake."
"You should stop by the shop tomorrow, then" Steve says. "On the house."
"You've already given me these." He wiggles the cupcakes in Steve's pretty face.
"I only save the free samples for the hottest customers." Steve does run a hand through his hair now, and it's dorky as fuck, but Eddie still feels like he's died and this is heaven. "See you tomorrow?"
Eddie can only nod as Steve backs out of the office with a cheeky little wave.
He goes to the bakery the next day, sure he just let his crush get away from him and imagined the entire interaction with Steve. Except, when he walks in, Steve smiles all big and pretty in his little blue apron, invites Eddie back to the kitchen.
And if they share their first kiss against the stainless steel countertops, it's between them, Wayne, and all the kids who spy on them from the shop's office window.

have sum steddie! maybe modern!au, no upside down!au & a meet cute <3 | ao3
Steve sits in the booth, his foot tapping away mindlessly under the table, with half a mind to abandon the table entirely.
In fact, the only reason he hadnât yet was because of the $20 he was hanging out for at the end. And the bragging rights, of course.
Robin had set him up on this blind date, plied him with all the promises in the world that he would enjoy it â said sheâd spent a decent amount of time hunting for the right first gay date for Steve.
She also conceded that if he, for whatever reason, didnât enjoy it, she would cough up 20 whole bucks for his wasted time. But he had to actually see the date through for the prize to be claimed.
And the bragging rights were so that Robin â with her uppity, healthy, and happy relationship that Steve was only a little bit envious of â could ease onto the breaks when it came to Steveâs love life.
So it was looking a little bleak at the moment, so what? Every stallion or⊠lion or whatever had their moments, right? Moments where their mane is a little uncouth and food is low andâŠ. Where was he going with this?
The point was, that Robin got into one relationship and suddenly decided she was fit to become a high and mighty matchmaker. Never mind that Steve had reminded her numerous times that he had dated a lot more than she had.
So, for 20 bucks and the right to stick his tongue out at his best friend when she tried to meddle, Steve could stick one night out.
Besides, she was right about one thing. They werenât in Hawkins anymore â and San Francisco had a hell of a larger dating pool than his hometown.
Still, that didnât make people anymore for prompt for dates though, apparently. Steveâs foot taps incessantly under the table, his knee bouncing up and down in his nerves. He runs a hand through his hair and checks his watch again.
7 oâclock, Harveyâs Diner, a cute little Italian place that Steve had begun to frequent since they moved to the city, and a date with a dude called Daniel whom Steve had no idea what he looked like.
This was his Friday night plans.
His watch reads 7:12pm and Steve sighs, his fingers beginning to fiddle with the strap of his watch just for something to do. Great. He had gotten all dressed up for this? To be stood up? How was this any better than his usual Friday night plans that Robin claimed were so patheâ
âHi.â
Someone sits down in the booth across from Steve, landing with a thump loud enough to give him a fright.
Steveâs head whips up from its focus on fiddling with his watch andâ woah. Steve blinks once, twice, and feels his jaw unhinge a little, his lips parting an inch as he gazes at the stranger across from him.
Holy shit, this dude was hot.
Heâs got curls for days, dark chocolate ringlets all messy and unkept spilling over his shouldersâ long and probably perfect for burying your hands into. Steve flushes a little at the unexpected thought.
He has beautiful brown eyes, widened with a smudge of eyeliner and framed with long lashes. Steve thinks he can spy a smattering of freckles across his forehead. His nose is long and his lips are plush and pink and holy shit, this dude was pretty.
âOhâ hi.â Steve manages to remember his manners. Only after he fully checked this dude out, of course.
God, couldnât Robin have given him a better warning than just âheâs probably your typeâ? Couldnât she have warned him that this dude was âdo-a-double-take-on-the-street type hot?â What the fuck Robin?
The man across from him grins, wicked and alluring all at once, and shucks off his heavy leather jacket. His eyes do a once-over on Steve, taking his time to check him outâ which is great because Steve is stuck on all the glorious tattoos that have just been revealed. So much skin shown in his roughly chopped muscle-tee, swirling ink all down his arms. This dude is hot.
Silently, Steve curses Robin and the 20 dollars that is totally slipping away from him. Why did she have to be right all the time?
âBeen waiting long?â The man, Daniel, asks as he makes himself comfortable across the table. He pushes his hair back with both hands, using one hand to gather it into a ponytail, holding it up to air out his neck and Steve now realises he is slightly puffed.
He mustâve run part of the way here, to avoid being later than he was. Steve canât help but be slightly endeared by that fact.
The man grins again, âPromise I was trying to be on time but, you know how the subway is.â
Steve huffs out a laugh, any annoyance at being kept waiting melting away at his dateâs sincerity.
âNot too long,â Steve admits, smiling to ease Danielâs apparent concern. Across the table, Daniel slumps a little and releases his hair, his curls pooling back around his shoulders. Steve watches, entranced.
âWell, thatâs good,â Daniel smiles, eyes bright like he really means it, and his hand darts out to steal the drinks menu from the edge of the table. He looks back over to Steve, a furrow in his brows. âYou didnât order anything?â
âI thought I should wait,â Steve says with a shrug. No point paying for food if your date never shows up.
Daniel looks up from the menu through his lashes and smiles, placing his elbow on the table and dropping his chin in the palm of his hand. âAw, youâre sweet.â
Steve is a little embarrassed by how easily the compliment makes him blush, feeling his cheeks glow lightly. Across the table, Daniel seems to revel in it, drinking in the way Steveâs face filled with colour with a cheeky smile. His eyes flick back down to the menu.
âYou know,â Daniel begins, keeping his eyes on the menu, scanning it with a hum. âChrissy said you were good looking but I think she seriously undersold you.â
He takes his eyes off the menu to trail up Steveâs body, his gaze heavy. Steve feels a delighted zing go up his spine, feels the way he preens at Danielâs attraction. Steve opens his mouth to respond, more than ready to return the flirt whenâ
âCan I get you two started with anything?â
The waitress interrupts. Sheâs poised with her notepad, standing at the edge of the booth. Daniel perks up and nods.
âCan I get a chocolate milkshake please?â He asks with a polite smile. Steve laughs lightly at his selection and Danielâs gaze cuts from the waitress to Steve.
âWhat? Not a milkshake man?â
Steve tries to contain his grin, all too endeared by the man before him. He shakes his head and raises his hand in defense. âNothing against milkshakes just⊠for dinner?â
Daniel gasps theatrically and his head snaps back to the waitress. âThis man has never had the delight of a Harveyâs milkshake with his dinner. Please bring us two chocolate milkshakes!â
Steve watches as the waitress dutifully writes down the order and turns on her heel, heading for the kitchen. He turns back to his date and gapes, taken aback by the forwardness.
âDid you just order for me?â
âDid you just diss milkshakes?â
Steve scoffs, but even then he canât stop his lips from curling up into a smile. He canât believe it but heâs genuinely glad he waited this date out. It's not at all like he was expecting. Even Robin's short description of this dude pales in comparison to the real thing. Steve nudges his foot forward into Danielâs shin lightly.
âI did not diss milkshakes,â Steve argues, his smile widening at how Danielâs eyes dart to the table before back up at Steve with a grin.
âUh huh,â Daniel nods, his voice sarcastic and 100% unbelieving of Steveâs insistence. âJust wait, okay? Youâll be changing your tune soon enough. Harveyâs milkshakes are class. Iâve had a thousand of my best ideas in here, sipping on a chocolate milkshake.â
Steve grins and leans back in his seat, crossing his arms over his chest. Under the table, he feels Danielâs boot nudge against his leg gentlyâ and he laughs to himself. This has gotta be the most teenage way of flirting and heâs fucking loving it.
âYou know,â Steve begins hesitantly, letting his forearms lean up against the table. âYouâre not quite what I expected, Daniel.â
Across the table, Daniel scrunches up his face, his expression one of pure befuddlement. He puts his hands flat on the table and leans forward.
âWait, you think my name is Daniel?â
Steve splutters for a moment because even though the answer is duh, yes, itâs become increasingly apparent that the man across from him is not who he was expecting. But if heâs not Daniel, who is he?
Suddenly, the door chimes and someone else is entering the diner. Itâs a man dressed like Steve â on the preppy side with hair that mustâve taken at least an hour. He scans the booth and spots Steveâs booth, wandering over, his eyes fixed on the man across from Steve.
âHey, are you Eddie?â He asks confidently, ignoring Steveâs presence on the other side of the booth.
The man â Eddie â freezes as he glances up at the newcomer and then back down to Steve ahead of him. Steve deflates a little inside as he realises abruptly whatâs happenedâ a mix-up of wrong dates that was completely warranted because this dude dresses exactly like Steve. Steve doesn't stare too long to see if he's any hotter.
Instead, he tries to give Eddie the all-clear with his eyes. He smiles polite as he can and gives a little nod to let him know it was alright to abandon him for the date he was supposed to go on. Not to get stuck with Steve.
Eddie clears his throat and smiles, not cheeky like he had with Steve, but stiff and polite. âAh sorry man, I think youâve got the wrong guy. My name's Daniel.â
Huh? Steve takes his eyes off the table to steal a glimpse at Eddie (is his name even Eddie?) and something inside him burns hotly when the man glances across at Steve and winks.
The man standing by the booth wavers for a moment, glancing between them in the booth as Steve schools his expression to neutral. After a moment of silence, there's a half-assed apology as the man retreats, heading back out the door he had just come through. The door chimes again on his way out.
Steve straightens up and peers over his shoulder, watching the door slowly swing shut. He turns back to the man across the booth and squints at him. The waitress returns briefly, dropping two large chocolate shakes onto the table, topped with a mountain of cream. She murmurs something about coming back to take their order in a moment.
"Wait, so who are you?" Steve asks, gently sliding his shake closer to him. "Daniel or Eddie?"
His date âwell, his new dateâ has already begun taking a big long sip from his own milkshake, so enamored with it that when he pulls away there's a dot of cream on the end of his nose. He swallows with a satisfied ah and grins across the table at Steve, not noticing the dairy on his face.
"I'm whoever gets me talking with you a little bit longer."
Steve grins, an endeared roll of his eye at the blatant flirting but he can't deny how it makes his chest warm. He grabs one of the napkins and reaches forward, adoring how Eddie goes cross-eyed as he watches Steve smudge away the cream on his nose. He laughs sheepishly, giving his nose a little wipe with his own hand.
"I'm Eddie." He says, finally introducing himself. He doesn't offer his hand, just gives Steve a little nudge under the table and a grin over his milkshake. "And I think you just saved me from a terrible date."
Steve laughs, giving a little shake of his head. He finally goes in for a sip of his own milkshakeâ and it's just as heavenly as Eddie had promised, glorious chocolate dancing over his taste buds.
Steve groans quietly, eyes bright when he glances at the other man over his glass, entirely amused by how wide-eyed Eddie has become. He releases the straw and sits back, more invested in this date than he has been in... years. Stallion's got its mojo back. Or lion. Whatever.
"I'm Steve," He responds, giving a little nudge back under the table and a grin of his own. "And I think you saved me from being stood up."

Heyyy! Iâm usually a silent tumblr warrior but omg I keep coming up with so many different Auâs in my head. đ Also I love your writing itâs godsent. đ
Tonight I was thinking of Model!Reader x photographer!Remus đđ. Who are like totally obsessed with each other and are always supporting their careers. Remmy getting sooo many candid photos of reader and using them in his portfolio. Along with them both going to each others viewings/ runway shows. I just canât omg so many possibilities ..đ„Č
~đȘŒ
this is so. stinking. cute. the second I received this I had to send it to @maladaptiveescapism (my muggle AU queen who gifted us all the beautiful, beautiful man that is chef!sirius) and she came up with the SWEETEST meet cute. thank you for sharing this prompt, lovie!! I hope I did it justice <3
Remus Lupin x fem!reader who ends up being Remus' big break [2.6k words]
CW: fluff, swearing, reader has a dog and he's adorable, meet cute, fame
Remus neednât look in a mirror (or one of the windows of the shops on the street) to know that his nose was pink; he had always been very sensitive to the cold, and it was only exacerbated by his love for it.
It was his favourite time of year; waking up in the morning when the ground was still covered in shimmery frost before turning into a misty fog as the sun poked its way through trees and buildings. The trees and grass were still grasping desperately at the shades of greens that it usually wore, but the leaves - determined in their journey - insisted on turning various shades of oranges, yellows, reds, and browns.
Remus loved them.Â
He also found that people were perhaps their most beautiful when cold - he hardly ever left for his morning walks without his camera, which also meant he left for his morning walks without a pair of mittens or gloves which might impede his ability to control the lens and shutter - and there was something about the cool air that brought out the most beautiful colours in not only the trees, but also of the people.Â
And Remus yearned to capture it.
Heâd found a beautiful elderly man enjoying a mocha outside a small coffee shop who he chatted with for a while before he asked him if heâd be okay to take some pictures. Every crinkle near the corners of his eyes was evidence of laughter and joy, every wrinkle between his brow a testament to years of consideration and thought, every divot around his mouth was a story he shared, a kiss he gave, a meal he enjoyed.Â
Every deep line on the manâs face - Albus had been his name - told a story, and Remus was lucky enough to have captured even a fraction of it with his camera.Â
Remusâ fingers were struggling to thaw out in his pockets as he took the long way home - traversing through the quiet park in the centre of the city which was slowly becoming more lively as the morning wore on and the sun rose higher, though it was still quiet enough for Remus to enjoy.Â
Some days he had more luck than others, not because there was a lack of beautiful people - because there was surely no shortage of that - but rather nothing that inspired Remus to create.Â
Some days it frustrated him, and some days he was able to remind himself he was really doing this for fun and not being paid for his portraits save what small income he made through creator perks on various social media platforms.Â
How nice it would be to get paid for his portraits, though.Â
Remus had paused in his walk to bend over and pick up a disposable coffee cup from the sidewalk to put it in a rubbish bin when he spotted the perfect picture.Â
There was a wrought-iron and wooden slat park bench a few paces away from the footpath in the park sitting in a lone ray of sun that managed to force its way through the treetops as if some deity had placed a spotlight on it to ensure Remus would notice it.
The patch of grass that the sun was kissing was melting into its usual green whilst the grass surrounding it was still its unique combination of dark sage, green, and silver courtesy of the autumn twilight.
A senior looking dog - a border collie, if Remus guessed correctly - attached to a simple red lead seemed to have found himself a good stick for chewing as he basked in the sun, the lead looped gently around the wrist of his person who sat on the bench with a ratty looking paperback in their hand.Â
You were ethereal.Â
You had one hand shoved into a knitted mitten whilst the other held your book, though a second mitten sat ready should you no doubt decide your free hand was too cold and needed to switch. You had multiple layers on and a comfy pair of shoes. Clearly out for a walk yet knowing that your dog did less walking now-a-days and spent more time in sunny spots with a nice stick, you came prepared with a novel to enjoy the transitionary season much the same way Remus did.Â
And you were stunning.
You looked like a sip of warm apple cider, like the trees had parted their branches just to give the sun somewhere to direct its warmth and light, like the sun came out only for the chance of seeing you.
Remus actually took a look around him to see if anyone else was seeing what he was - nothing short of a masterpiece - but the masses appeared wholly unaware that they were in the presence of something hallowed.Â
He lost his nerve more times than he could count as he tried to convince his boots to take him in your direction, to start up the conversation the same way he always did with every other stranger he stopped on the street to take their picture. But this felt different, you were different, you-
âŠwere looking over at him; your dog ceasing to chew on his stick in favour of staring intently at Remus alerting you to the fact that you had an admirer (at best, or a stalker at worst).
To avoid looking like the latter, Remus forced his feet to bring him to you, smiling at you as you marked your place in your book and closed it before offering him a wary smile of your own.Â
âPardon me, Iâm terribly sorry to intrude, but, erm, well-â sodding son of a bitch, stick to the script, âmy name is Remus and Iâm a street photographer, I uhm, I take portraits of people I pass on the street and post them to my socials.â He offered awkwardly as he pulled out his phone - numb fingers nearly dropping it as he raced to try to prove to you he wasnât some creep with a long-distance lens on his camera hanging around public parks - wincing as the end of his sentence lilted up in the form of a question.Â
âI couldnât help but notice you and your dog, here,â he pushed on, said dog still watching him carefully and tilting his head at the end of every one of his sentences, âand you look beautiful- or, rather, it makes a beautiful picture! I, well, I guess I was wondering if youâd mind ifâŠI took your picture?â
And by some absolute twist of fate, you had the good graces to simply smile at him like he wasnât some awkward bumbling fool which only served to make you even more beautiful as you handed him his phone back.
âThatâs really cool, Remus,â you offered, sounding as though you were testing how his name felt forming from your lips as you made eye contact with him, âthank you. Iâd be happy to be your model.â
âBrilliant.â Remus let out with a breath of relief. âNow are you andâŠâ he paused as he gestured toward your companion.Â
âZiggy.â
â...Ziggy a package deal or should I ask him his rates?âÂ
You let out a bubbly laugh which encouraged Ziggy to sit up - albeit slowly due to his age - and cock his head at you.Â
âWhat do you say, Ziggs?â You asked the canine who cocked its head the other way. âDo you want to model too?âÂ
As if the dog knew you were waiting for a response, he let out a polite bark before laying back down.Â
âWell there you have it, Remus; weâre all yours.âÂ
The picture returned to its previous perfection; between you returning to your novel sans one mitten and Ziggyâs focus back to his treasure, Remus was able to capture you exactly how he wanted. You were wearing a soft smile which only grew when Remus nearly bumped into a jogger in an attempt to get a different angle.Â
You held your book to your mouth to hide your laughing as he called a hasty apology to the girl who barely slowed down on his account, and he shot a cute picture of you like that, too; your eyes full of mirth and crinkling at the corners in a quiet laugh at his expense.Â
Remus was infatuated.Â
It felt blasphemous in some way, but Remus had to admit he was very chuffed to have an excuse to join you on your alter bench, pretending as though you leaning into him - for warmth or for a better view of his camera screen, he wasnât sure - didnât make him feel like his heart was trying to exit out of his throat as you sung your praises for the pictures.Â
âRemus.â You hissed as if you really couldnât believe your eyes. âThese are really good! Oh my godâŠâ
Remus chuckled awkwardly as you brought the camera closer to you, ultimately forcing Remus to breathe your air as the camera strap pulled his body closer to yours.Â
âYouâre very talented.â You added earnestly before looking up at him with something akin to awe. âDo you have a portfolio?â
âErm, well,â he mumbled, suddenly very aware that he was nearly on top of a relative stranger in this public park at about 8:30 in the morning, âIâŠsort of? I mean, I have my socials.â
You nodded at him and looked back down at his camera before passing it back to him. âAre you going to post these?âÂ
âIâd very much like to, if youâre okay with that?âÂ
âPlease do.â You agreed readily. âDo you tag people in your portraits?â
Remus nearly snickered as he thought of Albus this morning who seemed completely perplexed by the phone in Remusâ hand let alone by the concept of social media. âSometimes; not everyone I photograph is online. Would you like to be tagged?â
âYes please.â You beamed at him; Remusâ fingers itched to lift his camera back up to capture you like this, too. Fuck, you were beautiful. âMy mumâs always saying she doesnât have nearly enough pictures of me.â
âWell we canât have that.â Remus chuckled as he pulled out his phone and opened the notes app so you could add your Instagram handle.Â
âIt was very nice meeting you, Remus.â You offered, and Remus felt something close to shock at how truly sincere you sounded. âYou should be charging people for that.â You added, gesturing to the camera hanging from his neck.Â
âI could always start now.â He offered in jest, and he was rewarded again by your bubbling laugh; Remus felt nearly torn at having to leave, every shift of your face and expression begging to be photographed, and every muscle in his body begging to do the photographing.Â
But when he offered you a smile and a slightly awkward wave as he walked away - the sound of your laugh still echoing in his mind - he wondered if maybe, in some universe out there, there was a version of him that got to commit every expression that crossed your face - to memory or film, either would suffice.Â
đ±đąđžđ±đŁđ±đąđžđ±đŁđ±
The following day, Remus couldnât escape the office meeting quick enough; his phone buzzing incessantly the last twenty five minutes of the forty five minute planning session - that he was supposed to be taking dutiful notes throughout - burning a hole through his trouser pocket and into the muscle of his thigh.Â
35 missed calls from Sirius.
12 missed calls from James
Sirius: answer the fucking phone, you sod!!
Sirius: when the fuck did you take these!?!? (4 attachments)
Sirius: Lupin I STG
James: Lily is freaking out!!! Did you get an autograph??
James: who am I kidding. You had no idea, did you?
âWhat the fuckâŠâ Remus murmured under his breath as he scrolled through the notifications on his lock screen, blushing something fierce when a coworker brushed past him reminding him he was supposed to be being professional which generally meant not swearing.Â
The second Remus stepped onto the pavement outside of his building, his phone started ringing again.Â
âWhat the fuck is going on?â He answered instead of saying âhello, Sirius; alright?â.Â
âWhat the fuck is going on!?â Sirius barked back. âHow about you tell me when the fuck you met Y/N L/N!?âÂ
Remus felt his eyebrows cinch as he pulled his phone from his face when another text came in.Â
Lily: Iâm so fucking jealous right now!
Lily: also, I should probably say congrats; Iâm sure this is going to be great for your career!
âRemus!â
âChrist, Sirius, Iâm here.â Remus muttered as he brought the phone back to his ear. âBut I have no idea what youâre talking about.âÂ
âSon of a bitch.â Sirius muttered on the other end of the line. âThe pictures you posted yesterday!â
âOf the man? Or-â
âThe bird! Remus! Y/N L/N!â
Remus suddenly realised why the name sounded familiar; it had been your instagram handle.
âOh! Do you know her?â
âDo I know her? Mate, sheâs fucking famous.â
âWhat?â
âSheâs a sodding model! Sheâs been in Sports Illustrated, walked in New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week, she was in a music video recently; fuck who was the artistâŠâ
âWha- what the fuck? How did I not know this?â Remus asked dumbly.Â
âGod, youâre thick. Did you not notice the fucking blue checkmark next to her name on instagram when you tagged her?âÂ
Remus was so glad Sirius couldnât see him right now; he always felt properly chastised when it was Sirius handing his ass to him, but this felt bigger somehow.Â
âWell⊠I donât know, Iâm verified too but that doesnât mean anyone knows me!â He argued half-heartedly; he really hadnât noticedâŠ
Sirius snorted. âYeah well, everyoneâs gonna know you now, mate.â
âWhat do you mean?â Remus asked sternly.
âI meanâ Sirius started theatrically âthat sheâs shared your original post to her story and posted your pictures to her page and tagged you as the photographer. She only posted it two hours ago and it already has almost 70,000 likes. Have you not looked at instagram?â
âSirius, I work in a fucking corporate office, I canât be on my phone all of the time.â He spat rather petulantly.Â
âBully for you.â Sirius muttered in response. âCheck now then.â
Remus stole himself as he closed the call screen that simply consisted of a terrible picture of Sirius before opening up instagram.Â
The notification tab simply read 100+, but when he moved to view his profile he realised he had gained nearly 10,000 followers just since leaving for work this morning.Â
âJesusâŠâ Remus breathed out slowly.Â
âYou might want to put a portfolio together, mate.â Sirius offered, tone still slightly teasing, though the edges were softer and Siriusâ pride was nearly palpable even through the phone. âThis might finally be your big break.â
All because Remus had noticed you - a beautiful girl - in the park with a book and a dog sitting in a lone ray of sun that managed to force its way through the treetops⊠as if some deity placed a spotlight on it to ensure Remus would notice.Â
And of course he noticed you; how could he not?
I'd be happy to be your model. Do you have a portfolio? You should be charging people for that.
This might finally be your big break.Â
Little did either of you know that you would end up being Remusâ big break.

Thinking of Eddie Munson at the sidewalk with a megaphone doing the âpolite catcallingâ thing with his hellfire boys. And firefighter Steve Harrington on the other side of the road responding to a fender bender. And Eddieâs like, ânone of these thoughts are in the Bible, Jeffrey help me.â

Okay, as I have mentioned, I'm Ace AF. And you know that plot line in kids cartoons where the alien or foreign Warrior Royalty just sort of *violently kicks down door in full armor* "We Will Marry."? I?? Always said:
"Sure!" (#OhThankFUCK!)
Like what do you mean "No"? The powerful, attractive, monarch that is very into you has travel a great distance JUST to marry you! Now you don't have to date! They seem nice! You can skip the whole "trying to find a life partner" awkwardness.
So, Sudden New Fiancee(tm) how we doing this? Blended customs? Two weddings? One in your peoples traditions, one in mine? Should we invite your family? Tell me more about yourself.
God, this solves just... SO MUCH for me? No having to make small talk. No "do they like me?" Or "am I reading the signs here right?" No failed dates! It's positively ideal! AND they announced why they were qualified, in a VERY impressive show of power and prestige, when they arrived! Good lineage AND accomplished!! Very nice.
Don't get why everyone's so upset.
Sure the "we leave at once" thing that usually follows would have to be discussed, but that's what you DO as spouses. Really guys, it's like you think I'm incapable of common sense here.
And you know who probably agrees with me? Damian Wayne.
Hell is other people, INDEED. You expect him to just... randomly go up to people and try Courting them? What do you MEAN it's "creepy" to compile portfolios on eligible individuals of worthy bloodlines? How ELSE is he supposed to know if they are worth attempting to talk too?!
There are BILLIONS of humans on this gods forsaken rock, Richard! Is he supposed to just GUESS? Gamble and hope for LUCK? This is a MARRIAGE not a "best friends club"!
Then? Danny showes up.
Gotham heard her baby talking. Heard her KING being harassed by clearly plotting Observants and power hungry ghosts MANY times his age. Connected some dots. Formed themselves a new OTP.
Danny says "Fuck It". Worst he can say is No. According to Gotham, he is neither Shy not the meek obedient sort. Is in fact, VERY stabby. So if he's not interested he'll no doubt be BRUTALLY clear about that.
So? Danny gets Fright Knight. Go get him a horse. Someone fetch Cujo some armor. He's been told the guy like weapons and animals.
TIME TO BE IMPRESSIVE.
He goes FULL Regalia. Armor of solid night sky. Cape of frost and stardust. Crown like crack in reality itself, through which the cosmos gleam and shift. He gets a horse from the far frozen. They're wooly and carnivorous. Gets THE most impressive sword he can find to wear.
It's gonna be a gift, since he doesn't need it.
He does the whole "rend the skies open" thing. Fan fair and knights. Every title he's ever been given, no matter how embarrassing he find them in reality. And announces his intentions. Declares that ONLY Damian Wayne, aka. Robin, is WORTHY to Marry Him. And (in the traditional Ghost proposal of "either accept or tell me to fuck off" /w violence) Demands Damian accept his offer of Marriage.
Right there.
IN THE WATCHTOWER.
In front of EVERYBODY. And yes, ESPECIALLY the Bats. Who are making glitching, vaguely threatening DEMONIC NOISES. Because? You... you THREATEN the BABY? Death. Ten thousand years DEATH.
People are :O ing and backing away from the visible heatwave of unadulterated FURY being put off by Batman. Danny is nano-second from every bone his ANCESTORS had being reduced to a fine paste.
Then? Damian consider him... considers the sword being thrust in his direction, still held aloft in a steady and armored hand... contemplates those titles for a second...
And goes: "Acceptable. Very well, but I have demands."
N..... Nani the FUCK? Says local Bat-Dad. No??? You are NOT GETTING MARRIED.
Try to stop him. He very obviously IS, according to Damian, the man brought him a kick ass sword and has a giant green dog. Is the king of an ENTIRE REALITY. Yes, he realizes he probably COULD do better... but frankly? This one's cute. But if it upset you so... extended engagement. There. Happy?
NO! Because the JLA Dark are LOSING THEIR SHIT. Damian is still UNDERAGE. We don't even know how OLD this being is! NO MARRIAGE.
Damian is unimpressed. A whole six months? That he's likely already LIVED thanks to various timeloops, temporal shenanigans, and reality warping bits of fuckery? You're reaching.
Just? Marriage Meet Cute.

Recently found out the house in the Slipknot duality music video was actually a fans house. they gave the band permission to film their music video there and have a mob of people destroy it.
Now imagine Dustin being a huuuuuge corroded coffin fan and hearing the band is going back to their hometown Hawkins. They are looking for a house to film one of their music videos in. Issue is they want to trash the place and invite all their fans to do it with them. In comes Steve who was given his parents mansion but left Hawkins years ago. The house has been sitting and rotting for almost decade. Naturally Dustin BEGS Steve to let them use his house so Dustin can meet the band and of course do them the honour. After weeks of pestering from Dustin and forced googling by Robin, Steve agrees. And its definitely not because he has a giant crush on the lead guitarist Eddie Munson.
Months later the band come to Hawkins and Dustinâs dreams come true. He, Steve, and Robin all get to be in the video. And once Eddie hears about the circumstances of the house (through some over sharing on Dustinâs part) he insists Steve be the one to at least kick the door in and destroy his old bedroom. Steve is nervous though so Eddie is given the camera and they go alone.
Steve leaves the shoot that day with years of repressed anger and resentment relieved as well as the phone number of a famous rockstar.
Dustin never shuts up about being the reason they are together.

Steve arriving at a hotel for a work conference for his dadâs company. He hates it there, heâs miserable, heâs constantly trying to figure out what he actually wants to do with his life.
Itâs late when he gets there and the hotel is fully booked because of a concert happening.
He gets his key card after waiting for 30 minutes to check in.
He opens the hotel room door to find it is already occupied by a guy with a whole lot of tattoos all over his very naked and still dripping from a shower body.
Obviously he panics a bit and wonders how the hell this couldâve happened and Eddie panics a little because of safety (turns out heâs the singer of the band performing the following night!)
They try to call the front desk but the line is busy and Steve already dreads having to go back and wait in the line downstairs.
Eddie offers to let him just stay and theyâll fix it in the morning.
âPlenty of room in a king for both of us.â
Which may be true, but Steve is an octopus when he shares a bed and he knows he will end up in Eddieâs space. Should he warn him? Probably. Does he? Absolutely not.
Steve rushes through a shower and hops into bed, making small talk with Eddie about his life in a band, ignores questions about what he does as much as he can because he doesnât feel like explaining heâs just a puppet for his dadâs never ending business career.
He falls asleep listening to Eddieâs soft, deep tone.
And of course when he wakes up, heâs got his legs and arms wrapped around Eddie anywhere he can reach. His drool is drying on Eddieâs chest and heâs coming to terms with the fact that his dick was definitely pressed against Eddieâs thigh.
Eddieâs kind enough not to say anything about it, just squeezes Steveâs arm and continues petting his hair.
Itâs nice, too nice.
Steve has to get up. Heâs got things to do today and if heâs late, his dad will hear about it and berate him for hours.
Shit, even if heâs on time heâll probably find some other reason to berate him for hours.
âWhatâs wrong?â Eddie asked.
âHm? Oh. Just donât really wanna get up.â
âThen donât. I donât have anywhere to be until soundcheck after lunch.â
And now Steve has no choice but to explain his job and why heâs here, how his dad is relying on him to network and find potential mergers. How he hates putting on the Harrington face to please everyone.
Itâs easy to admit it to Eddie, especially with Eddieâs arms wrapped around him, holding him like he could actually protect him from anything his father tries to say to hurt him.
âYou donât like your job.â
Itâs not a question.
âDoes anyone really like their job?â
âI do.â
âWell, youâre a rockstar. Of course you do. But I canât be a rockstar.â
âMaybe not. But what is your rockstar?â
Steve had never been asked that, not even by guidance counselors in high school. They all knew heâd work for his father. He got a business degree for his father. He owned more suits than sweatpants for his father.
âIâŠdonât know.â
âMaybe you could try figuring it out.â
âItâs not that easy.â
âNo, itâs not. But you could still try.â
So Steve sent a message to his dadâs partner, let him know he was fighting food poisoning from the in-flight meal and couldnât make it to the conference today. He watched as Eddie threw on some clothes, mussed up his hair instead of brushed it, and quickly shoved his things into his bag.
âI should get out of your hair, try to get the room thing fixed.â
Eddie looked at him, looked at the alarm clock by the bed, down at Steveâs bag.
âHow many days are you packed for?â
âUh, four, technically. Trip was supposed to be three, but I always have an extra in case thereâs flight delays or-â
âCome with me.â
âToâŠsoundcheck?â
âOn tour.â
Steve was an idiot, his father made sure he knew it as often as possible. But he couldnât just go on tour with a stranger.
Could he?
What was he really doing here?
He hated his job, hated his dad, hated not having a clear path in front of him.
And this certainly wasnât a clear path; He barely knew this guy, and hadnât even heard his band. But it was a trail, the start of a path that could lead him somewhere heâd actually like to be.
Maybe he could take this chance.
Robin would tell him to do it, if she werenât in Antarctica studying penguins for three months, only able to call once a week to check in.
What would she say if she called him and he was backstage at a heavy metal concert?
Sheâd probably say heâs lost his damn mind, but sheâd be glad he did.
âWell, I am a rockstar. I could afford to have you around.â
âIâm not sure I could really afford to when my dad fires me,â Steve sighed, reality hitting him a little too quickly.
âIâm not really willing to be, like, your kept boy or anything,â Steve felt himself flush.
âIâm not really willing to have a kept boy,â Eddie smirked, joining him on the bed again, legs crossed in front of him. âBut Iâd definitely be happy to have someone who can help our tour manager out. Youâd be working, though the jobs kind of boring.â
âMore boring than sitting in an office five days a week and meeting with old white dudes who havenât done anything but work their lives away for 40+ years?â
âNah, way better than that. Sometimes youâll have to deal with Garethâs moods, but I promise to make it worth your while.â
âHowâs that?â
âIâll leave that up to you,â Eddie very obviously checked him, eyes trailing over Steveâs bare chest. âIâm open to negotiating.â
âAnd if I want a kiss?â
âThen a kiss youâll have.â
âAnd if I want you to fuck me?â
âThen youâll have to sign some paperwork,â Eddie laughed. âBut that can be arranged too.â
So Steve left with Eddie, four days of clothes in his bag, no idea what heâd even tell his dad or anyone else, and no clue exactly what his new job would entail.
All he knew was Eddie seemed to be made just for him, chaos and hyperactivity included, and Steve wasnât gonna give that up now. Even if it made no sense, even if it was ridiculous to gain a new job and new rockstar boyfriend in less than 24 hours, even if his next call with Robin was a combination of her yelling about his impulsive behaviors and congratulations for finally doing something for him.
Even if he was more of a VIP groupie for the band than an employee of the tour manager.
Steve finally found something he wanted.
If he sent his dadâs calls to voicemail, that was because he was too busy walking his new path.
