Know When To Hold 'em
Written for @corrodedcoffinfest
Day #17 - Prompt: This One's For You | Word Count: 999 | Rating: T | CW: death of a parent, depression, grief, referenced drug abuse, alcoholism | POV: Steve | Pairing: Steddie | Tags: Wayne Munson, Eddie needs a hug, protective Steve, hurt/comfort
I'm sorry. :(
The first time it happened totally out of the blue.
It was their first big show in Indy, their home show, and of course Wayne wanted to be there, as much out of curiosity as anything. He didn’t hear a thing; Steve gave him a set of ear plugs and it was like he’d been handed a pot of gold. “I could have done with these years ago.” But he saw everything and he talked about that show to anyone that would listen, and a few that wouldn’t.
Eddie was over the goddamn moon about it so he told the audience, “My Uncle Wayne’s here tonight, everyone say 'hi Uncle Wayne!'” and five thousand people just— did it. Because Eddie asked them to. Even through the ear plugs Wayne heard it. Steve’s not sure he’s ever seen the old man blush before.
So it became a thing completely by accident. If Wayne was there they played The Gambler as the last song of the encore; like the flag at Buckingham Palace telling everyone the Queen was home: Uncle Wayne was in the house. The fans latched onto it straight away, and it was one of only a couple of songs that Eddie would sing. Wayne didn’t see the band play often but it didn’t matter where they were, the moment that song started up the crowd went wild; the roar of “Hi Uncle Wayne!” rolling through the audience before everyone sang along. And Wayne there at the edge of the stage shaking his head, grinning like a Cheshire cat.
Eddie was in Germany when Wayne died.
‘The best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep’, sang The Gambler, and that’s exactly what he did. Wayne would have got a kick out of that.
Breaking the news to Eddie was the most painful thing Steve’s ever had to do.
Tonight is their first night back after a two month hiatus. It feels too soon, but there are contracts, missed shows, obligations, and there’s only so much their manager can do to keep the label, promoters and lawyers away.
Eddie’s dead eyed and lethargic; he’s started drinking again, Steve discreetly hid his pain medication when he noticed the bottle emptying faster than it should have. He sleeps with a belly full of Ambien and spends his day wrapped in Zoloft. Neither help.
But the show must go on, right?
Despite everything, the grief, the fog of depression, when he walks out onto the stage he’s a supernova, the brightest of lights in the deepest of darks. He’s fucking dazzling.
The crowd at the Market Square Arena are on fire, they explode when the band run on stage but Steve doesn’t miss the extra noise when Eddie gets out there. Eddie loosens up as the gig goes on, and by the end, when they take a bow together, he looks like a different man to the shell thats been haunting their home.
There will be a crash later. Steve is already prepared for it.
The band come off drenched with sweat. Steve can see the pinched expression on Eddie’s face, the exertion after all this time lying around like a ghost has taken its toll on a body that has seen better days. But he still smiles at Steve as he hands off the guitar to his tech, his Sweetheart, only brought out for the encores now.
“Was it okay?” Eddie asks him, towelling the sweat from his face.
“You were amazing,” is all Steve can manage right there, but he’s buzzing inside and there’s more he wants to say. But that’s for later, when it’s just them.
The band are handing off instruments, roadies scurrying around, breakdown already underway. There’s a lot happening, and you know, Steve’s hearing isn’t that great these days but there’s nothing wrong with his eyesight. He sees the little commotion over Eddie’s shoulder, the way people halt, ears pricking up like labradors. Jeff turns to Steve with wide eyes and Matt has stopped in his tracks. And then he sees the exact moment Eddie picks up on it, the furrowed brow, the soft tilt of the head.
The crowd are singing Wayne’s song.
Everyone stops. Roadies stand there like marionettes with their strings cut.
And Eddie…
He looks devastated, his hand flying up to his mouth like he’s trying to bury a sob, stopping the grief from breaking containment.
Steve can see the band over Eddie’s shoulder, heads nodding before they’re grabbing guitars back from their techs. He knows what they’re going to do, but there’s no way Eddie is up to it, they have to know that. Jeff slings an arm over Eddie’s shoulder, pulls him in, knocking his forehead against Eddie’s. And then Matty does it, Matty who doesn’t have a sentimental bone in his body, but Gareth is long gone, already running back onto the stage, crowd cheering at the sight of him, before Matty and Jeff follow him out. And they pick up where the crowd are and they play. Eddie usually sings it, but Jeff takes it tonight.
Steve grabs Eddie’s hand and gives it a gentle squeeze. “C’mon,” he says, pulling Eddie toward the side of the stage.
Steve loved Wayne, so fucking much. And maybe with all the help and care Eddie needed afterward, still needs, maybe Steve didn’t get a chance to grieve properly. He feels the ache in his chest, before he notices the calloused fingers wiping his tears away.
“He loved you, Steve.” He can’t reply, just nods, and Eddie holds him like he should be holding Eddie. And then he’s gone, out on to the stage, back with his band. No guitar, just sharing a mic with Jeff and joining as much as the tears will allow. And then the music cuts, Matty and Gareth joining them at the mic, and it’s just voices, nineteen thousand and four. Corroded Coffin, arms slung across shoulders, singing Wayne’s song.
Singing to Wayne.
Yeah... I went there.
So, I had this idea months ago and parked it because I didn't know what to do with it. And then this prompt came along and BOOM!

Let me reintroduce myself.
I'm Kate, 44 years old 🫣, mama to a 18 years old daughter 😒, 13 years old Chocolate Labrador and 6 years old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. 🐕🐕 I am happily married to my 🇬🇧 husband from Cheshire.
I am originally from a beautiful country, Singapore 🇸🇬.
Because of my husband's job, we moved around the 🌏 quite a bit before. We lived in 🇨🇳 🇮🇪 and finally migrated to 🇳🇿.
We decided to move back to 🇬🇧 6 years ago to spend more time with his eldery parents.
I have 17 years of experience in fitness industry.
In 🇸🇬, I was a Personal Trainer (with Singapore Gold's Gym) , Gym Manager (with Contour Express - women gym) and a Fitness Lecturer (with Skillfuture - training people becoming Personal Trainer)
In 🇳🇿, I was a Personal Trainer, a Team Training Instructor with Les Mills.
During my times in 🇳🇿, it was a great pleasure I met a few casts from the Hobbit 🎬 and I enjoyed my PT sessions with them.
I hold a diploma in Krav Maga, Israeli martial art.
I was also a Muay Thai fighter. 🥊
I love helping and educate women especially mamas about fitness.
I could not get back to my pre pregnancy weight after 2 years giving birth to my beautiful daughter. I decided to sign up for gym membership, hired a Personal Trainer but achieving no results so I decided to take up a Fitness Instructor course to get myself back into shape.
Because of my own journey, I love helping women achieving their fitness goal.

VESTRY CLASS OF 2024
02/13/2022 BY SJECWARRENTON VESTRY CLASS OF 2024 Our vestry election is complete and thank you to our six outstanding candidates and to all of you who voted. This is a great sign of the health and investment in our parish. Our Vestry Class of 2024 is as follows:
Greg Arthaud Joanne Charles John Pearce Anita Sherman
Vestry Nominee Greg Arthaud
A person wearing glasses
Description automatically generated with medium confidence I grew up in Minnesota and began my career as a forester in northern Minnesota. I returned to school and completed graduate work at Virginia Tech, the University of Freiburg (Germany), and the University of Minnesota. I met my wife, Lisa, when doing my doctoral study in Minnesota. I was a professor at the University of Georgia and Yale University before taking on my current position as the lead for ecosystem services research at the U.S. Forest Service Headquarters in D.C. This work involves research on the connection between people and nature. Lisa retired in 2020 after working in the school system as an occupational therapist.
Both Lisa and I were raised Catholic and began attending Episcopal churches after moving to Athens, Georgia and continued to find a home at St. Peter’s Episcopal in Cheshire, Connecticut, and Saint James’ (in 2002). Our three children all grew up active at Saint James’ in youth missions work and as acolytes. They have all completed college and have begun their own careers.
My primary service at Saint James’ has centered on food. I served as a back-up for Café in its early days and have led a team since we went to a rotation of volunteers. In association with Food for Friends, I have been leading a team which produces breakfast sandwiches each month for the Fauquier County Food Distribution and the Fauquier Family Shelter. I also led cooking for three South Carolina youth missions trips and cooking for Mardi Gras. I enjoy our Saint James’ home and involvement with the Warrenton community, including the Fauquier Community Band (past President), Fauquier Conservation Roundtable, Living Christmas Tree orchestra, and Fauquier Arts Council.
We have found friends and spiritual connections at Saint James’. We are proud to be involved in a congregation that embraces inclusivity, participation, and outreach to the community. We would love to see Saint James’ continue on the path pf being a welcoming church for new members and increasing service to the community.
Vestry Nominee Joanne Charles
Joanne Charles is a retired family practice nurse practitioner, married, with a daughter, a stepson, and five grandchildren. She lives in an old country house in Orlean with her husband Randolph, two Labradors and two cats. She loves nature, reading, painting, playing with grandkids, and is a hobby Labrador breeder.
Joanne has been an Episcopalian for 37 years and has enjoyed multiple ministries as an active parishioner, including Sunday School teacher, EYC leader, Altar Guild, Flower Guild, Adult Choir, Outreach programs, Layreader, Lay Eucharistic Minister, and Diocesan Council Parish Representative. She especially enjoys Adult Christian Formation and Social Justice Ministries, having been a member of The Gamaliel Foundation’s Empower Hampton Roads, The Mission of the Holy Spirit Youth Program in Norfolk, VA, member of the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy, JustFaith Mentor, JustMatters Mentor and Education for Ministry Mentor. Joanne has developed and offered a number of programs and retreats for Christian Formation, including Anticipatory Grief, Death and Dying, Breaking Bread for Justice, Spirituality and Prayer, and Women’s Spirituality.
She prayerfully looks forward to helping Father Ben and the St. James’ parish community through service on the Vestry.
Vestry Nominee John Pearce
My wife, Rachel, and I moved to Warrenton with our 2 children in 2007 and joined Saint James’. Since joining, I have served on Vestry two times, served as Senior Warden, chaired the Search Committee in 2012, and was a co-leader of the Stephen Ministry program from 2010-2018. We especially enjoy the 8:00 AM service. By day, I work in software product management for a global software company.
When considering our move to Warrenton, we contacted longtime family friend Gary Shook, who recommended joining Saint James’. Our first day was the same day Fr. Chris Pierce arrived in 2007.
I really enjoyed being part of the caring community of Saint James while co-leading the Stephen Ministry program for 8 years with Sue Gruszewski. I also had a tremendous and faithful experience working with the Search Committee and the Vestry during the search process that resulted in calling Fr. Ben to St. James.
I am proud to be part of Saint James’ because we care for each other.
I would love to see Saint James’ be the light during dark times by focusing outwards and not pulling inwards.
Anita Sherman
Originally hailing from Portland, Oregon, I’ve called Virginia home since 1988 and Fauquier County home since 1995. I’ve been married to my husband Don for 38 years and we have three grown children, Sophia, Douglas and Alexander and four grandchildren – Maria, Piers, Ada and Harrison. We are blessed that they all call Warrenton home. Professionally, I’ve been a writer and an editor with more than 20 years’ experience working for several newspapers in the Piedmont area including Fauquier, Culpeper and Rappahannock. Currently, I am a freelance writer and also working on my first novel (send prayers!) In my younger days I traveled extensively and would relish another adventure. In the meantime, I’m an avid reader.
When we moved to Warrenton, I was looking for a church home (we had been attending Church of the Holy Comforter in Vienna). I was raised Catholic and my husband Methodist so embracing the Episcopal Church was a good marriage in addition to our own. Admittedly physical attractiveness was stunning at Saint James’ with the stained-glass windows and high arched ceilings. Everyone was very welcoming, and I immediately felt at home and embraced by this place of sanctuary. I love the way the light plays through the windows casting its colors in different shapes. It is hard not to feel God’s work at hand in this place blessed with so much brilliance and spirit.
To date, two experiences at Saint James’ stand out for me as particularly memorable and life affirming. The first was in 2011 when our son Douglas phoned in early December announcing his intentions to marry a young woman from the Philippines and that he would like a church wedding and could I help make that happen within a few weeks. He only had a short time off as he was serving in the U.S. Army at the time. The clergy and alter guild at Saint James’ came to the rescue in an unforgettable and beautiful family service. The other was an invitation from members of the choir to join them which I did affording me the opportunity to be part of Saint James’ music ministry – a joyous forum. I’ve always enjoyed singing but lifting voices together and connecting with the congregation as you are doing so is a powerful form of prayer.
During my time at Saint James’, I’ve served as a Sunday School teacher, attended study forums and am currently a member of the Episcopal Church Women, choir and a lay reader. The church community at Saint James’ is a caring family, a family that acknowledges and accepts its members, a family that trusts in the inherent goodness of all who choose to worship here and a family that I am proud to call my own. There is no question for me that God is at work within these walls and that the spiritual abundance received resonates beyond Saint James’ and into the greater community.
Particularly coming out of COVID, there has been much time for reflection given the challenges faced by this game changer. What do we do well as a parish? What can we do better? How can we as a congregation renew and reinvent our spirits? There are so many doors of opportunity for growth, nourishment and sharing our story. Let the light shine!

A few extra details about this art!
I gave Mystery (who is a deer) a squirrel chao buddy because she is almost always seen with a few animal buddies!
Nick is a wolf because he sometimes wears those cringey wolf howl shirts.
Rita is a badger to reference her (not really used kinda retired) pet badger, Bernadette! Plus I pulled a piplup and gave her a patch of fur that looks like a crown bc you know, queen of speed?
Odin is a horse (specifically a black friesian) to reference the inside joke that he's actually a horse.
I gave Erica (who is a labrador) these little blue dots on her ears to represent stars! I also gave her these little Silver-esque glove patterns that glow when she's happy!
Ok so Spencer is a cat for many reasons. Firstly his Secret Weapon form is very cat-like (ears,paws, a tail, the whole shabang!(yes i do know this form is retconned but its a nice throwback)), Secondly, it's to reference his (also kinda retired) cat, Marmalade! Finally it's to reference the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland! Because he smiles a lot, Spud is the guardian of The Smiler... :\
Wingo is a hedgehog to reference Big Blue himself, Sonic! (sonic spinball i know haha very funny.)
I made Gareth a polar bear because I don't know... they're both very big?... also he has his chest eye and red camo pants but Wingo's head and Nick's tail are in the way... :P
All oc's are not mine, they belong to @retrowave-racer !(check her out if you like rollercoasters, art and complex stories! she's very cool!)
HEY @retrowave-racer !!!! *sonic-ifies the alton adventures cast* GET SONICED LOL
