This follows my Sports AU drabble from @steddieholidaydrabbles where they were Olympic Swimmers, but can be read standalone.

This one is also available right here on AO3.

we're hot and sticky as we can get, don't need to go swimming to be soakin' wet, you lean in and you bite my lip, it's hard to be cool in heat like this, sweat drop at the end of your nose, makes you lose your mind and lose your clothes Christian Kane, Permanent 99

Eddie rests his forearm over his eyes, attempting to block out the way too bright sun and wipe the sweat away from his forehead at the same time. 

The strips of cheap vinyl from the PVC lounger are sticking to his bare back and he can't seem to shift in any way to get comfortable with the feeling. Steve is worth millions, but he's dragged out some old as shit, tri-fold lounge chairs from last century. They had to have been stashed in his parents' pool house, left over from the eighties, faded from sun and years of disuse. If Eddie's going to be subjected to the summer sun, he's definitely gonna need a newer chair, because this is really not working for him. 

He's sticking to it in ways that feel really gross.

That has a lot to do with the fact that it's so humid it's almost insufferable. The glare off of the water isn't helping matters. It's blinding him, even through his sunglasses. They've spent a lifetime looking at pool water, so Eddie's not entirely sure why they're still doing it now, on their own time.

“It’s hot as shit,” Eddie finally announces, moving his arm just enough to catch a glimpse of Steve next to him.

Steve smiles, seemingly unconcerned by the unrelenting heat. 

He's tanned, and glistening in the sun, looking every bit of a Greek god. That bastard.

Eddie's actually seen Steve in Athens, at the fucking Olympiad itself, and he damn well didn't look anything like he does right now. Steve was only nineteen then, still just a kid chasing a dream. And, now he's a man. A gorgeous man.

Eddie is pretty sure he looks like an overheated, wet cat in comparison. A pitiful thing that probably just needs put down.

But Eddie grins, because retirement looks good on Steve Harrington. Damn good. Retired before thirty. That's quite the thing to wrap his head around. 

But that's not going to stop Eddie's complaining.

“From now on, summer months will be spent strictly indoors. It's too hot, and I’m too pale for this,” Eddie declares, as if that is the final decision on the subject matter.

It isn't. Not if his perpetually sun-kissed boyfriend has a say in the matter.

Steve just rolls his eyes, and doesn’t look away from his magazine, "You made the worst dressed list, again," Steve offers, flashing the glossy pages in his direction. "They put you on the fug list."

Well, Eddie doesn't give a flying fug what that rag thinks. He's gonna wear what he's gonna wear. 

"And let me guess, you're in the other column?" Eddie asks, but he already knows it. Ever since they went public with their relationship after retirement, they've been tabloid fodder. Everyone has been speculating on how long this has been going on (since Athens) and how long it will last (hopefully forever) and they've picked apart every last detail of their lives they can get their hands on. And their very different style choices have been a popular topic of conversation.

Steve retired, Eddie didn't. Until he did. And now, they're both out of the meat grinder, free at last to do whatever they want to with all this brand new free time. Eddie's had fun running swim clinics for kids, and Steve has been funneling his time and money into his charitable foundation.

The rest of the time, they spend lazing together, just like this. Finally getting to really build this relationship of theirs into something even deeper, and stronger, than ever before.

They can't leave swimming, not totally. It's in their blood. But it's nice to be away from the early practices and constant sacrifices you have to make to be an Olympian, not just once, but several Games in a row.

Their not-so-secret love went public at Eddie's last Games, when Steve showed up, but kept out of the announcer's booth, and refused to be interviewed. He wasn't there for his own promo. Everybody was pissy about it, wanting a piece of him, wanting the ratings boost his voice, his face, would bring in. But Steve was only there to see Eddie, Gareth and the rest of his friends on Team USA swim, that's it.

So, it didn't take long for rumors to reach a fever pitch, and instead of denying them. They just admitted they were together, and had been, for a very long time. And now, they were looking forward to retirement, together. 

And that was that. 

They've been holed up at Steve's house ever since, trying to keep away from prying eyes, to just be together. With no other commitments. No early practices. No strict diets.

They're just Eddie and Steve. No longer Harrington and Munson.

But, Eddie's getting a little stir crazy and a lot hot. He needs to be anywhere but beside a pool right now.

“I haven’t even set foot in the goddamn pool and I’m sweating through my trunks,” Eddie whines, just making sure his opinion on the subject has been heard by Steve, loud and clear.

“Shoulda rocked the banana hammock, bro,” Steve supplies with a shrug of his shoulders, laughing loudly, totally unbothered by Eddie’s constant bitching. 

Eddie smiles, "Don't call me bro, dude."

Steve giggles, and it's the best sound. So carefree. All that weight of expectation just…gone. It was amazing to see. Retired from professional swimming, Steve doesn’t sweat the small stuff, not anymore. And Eddie is one hundred percent down for that.

"Speedos aren’t exactly casual pool wear, regardless of what you might think, Harrington,” Eddie adds.

“Sure they are,” Steve answers, waving his hand over his lap.

Eddie looks over at Steve, and lowers his sunglasses down his nose. Steve's wearing a tiny, all-white Speedo that Eddie can't look away from. It was a purposeful choice, Eddie is well aware. 

Steve's baiting him. 

And the white makes it basically see through. It’s nearly obscene and Eddie knows damn good and well Steve wore it on purpose, knowing he’d either sweat through it, and make it see through, or end up in the pool…and make it see through. 

Eddie knows this game well and it sadly always, always works on him. He's an easy mark. Always has been when it comes to Steve Harrington.

Eddie pushes his glasses back up on his face.

“You're right, the Federation should have forgotten all about the tech suits and went back to those," Eddie says, licking his lips, wetting them. Two can play at this game.

There’s a sweat drop clinging to the end of Steve’s nose and Eddie reaches over to catch it with his thumb. Raking his eyes all over Steve.

"Is this seriously turning you on?" Steve asks, lifting an eyebrow. "I'm basically wearing an old work uniform."

Eddie just nods, looking at every inch of Steve's body. Still toned, but already going slightly softer in places. Not to mention all the body hair. Steve's hairy, when the fuck did that happen? After only knowing him as the shaved and waxed swimmer, this has been a fucking revelation of a magnitude Eddie can't even put into words. 

Steve's a man. No longer the kid he was when they met, a million years and a million miles away from here.

"You're staring," Steve says, teasing him, and Eddie just nods. He's definitely staring and he'll do it some more. 

Steve smiles and sets his magazine down and crawls over onto Eddie’s lounger, straddling Eddie’s thighs. It creaks and shifts under them, and Eddie holds his breath, and prepares for the little metal legs to collapse. It doesn't, miraculously, and Steve takes Eddie's stillness for an opportunity to lean in and bite at Eddie’s bottom lip before Eddie can, well, give him any more lip. Eddie groans a little at the feeling, hands settling on Steve’s hips. Steve deepens the kiss and runs his fingers through Eddie’s sweat-damp hair.

When they finally break apart, Steve is even slicker with sweat than he was before, but he just grins down at Eddie.

“Let’s go in,” Eddie urges, thumbs tracing lazy circles on Steve’s exposed hip bones. Running his thumb over Steve's Olympic rings tattoo that's just barely peeking over the top of the tiny Speedo. 

Steve took Eddie to get his own rings tattoo after his first Olympics, and Eddie took Gareth after his. It's a sacred tradition. 

Eddie presses his thumb into the slightly faded ink, then dips it lower, stroking until he feels coarse hair under his thumb. Then, he's sliding his other hand up and down Steve's hairy thigh. More hair. Hair for days.

In fact, Steve’s chest hair is damp and right in Eddie’s face. It’s driving him a little wild. Steve spent so many years shaved, that this has been a goddamn turn on. Eddie leans forward and buries his face in Steve's chest.

Steve just laughs, and pushes Eddie back down, nipping at Eddie’s neck playfully, “S’good out here.”

“Think of the air conditioning. And the big, big bed.”

“This is bed-like,” Steve insists, reaching over and hitting the lever sending the chaise flat. The unsteady metal legs wobble comically and Eddie laughs as Steve topples over on top of him ungracefully. It's a nice change of pace, since Eddie often feels like he's the ungraceful one nearly everywhere but in the water. Always one wrong move from a trip to the E.R., while Steve stands by, shaking his head. 

Eddie’s fairly certain this flimsy-ass chair can't hold their combined weight indefinitely, even without Steve trying to fuck him through it. But he still runs his fingers through Steve’s hair, pulling him closer, encouraging him. 

He'll ride this train into the ground, without question. 

Steve closes his eyes, and grinds down against him.

Eddie grips Steve’s hips, resting his fingers against Steve’s ass, cupping him through the Speedo. When he squeezes his fingers underneath the tight material, Steve opens his eyes to meet Eddie’s, and Eddie just raises an eyebrow, questioning.

“By all means,” Steve answers, lifting up enough for them to work together to get it shimmed off his ass.

It isn’t easy. Removing a wet Speedo never is, and Steve’s wallering him in the process. Eddie almost takes a knee to the nuts, but they finally get it peeled off Steve's hips and tossed onto the ground. 

Steve unties Eddie’s trunks and pulls the Velcro closure apart loudly. He snakes his hand inside and closes his fist around him, and Eddie can’t help but buck up into the tight grip. 

“Fuck, Steve,” Eddie pants, leaning back further, enjoying the feeling.

Steve smiles and leans forward, chasing him, licking a path of sweat off of Eddie’s chest. It makes Eddie shiver unexpectedly and he can’t stop himself from tangling his hand in Steve’s hair. Urging him lower. Steve takes the hint. He always does.

He pushes apart Eddie's trunks, getting himself better access, and Eddie lifts up, to let him tug them down a little further, but not all the way off. 

Eddie groans when Steve’s mouth makes contact with his dick.

He rests his hand on Steve's head, feeling every movement from above and below. Steve's a gold medal cocksucker, that's for goddamn sure. 

"That's good, sweetheart," Eddie says, and Steve hums in acknowledgement, head moving up and down, hand doing the rest of the work in tandem. 

Eddie slides his hand down to Steve's face, pressing his palm to his stubbly cheek, and Steve changes the angle, so the head of Eddie's dick now hits the inside of his cheek with every bob of his head, bumping against Eddie's palm.

Steve's teasing him, playing with him, but it's fucking hot. 

So hot, and it's all Eddie can take, honestly, and he arches his hips off the chair, coming. 

Steve pulls off, and makes eye contact as he swipes his tongue around his mouth, gathering up Eddie's come on his tongue, which he shows Eddie, before swallowing.

"You're gonna kill me," Eddie says, as he moves to wrap his hand around Steve's hard dick, but Steve holds up one finger, wagging it at him. 

And then he slides fully on top of Eddie, and ruts into his hip. Using Eddie to get himself off.

Jesus H. Christ. 

Retired Steve is his favorite version, so far. Even more than top of the podium Steve. Or secret locker room blowjob Steve.

This version? His to keep? This is the one. 

Steve's breathing heavy into Eddie's ear, hot puffs of air and soft moans that make Eddie wish he could get hard again right now. Eddie digs his fingers into Steve's slick back, just along for the ride. Getting to enjoy the sights and sounds of Steve working hard. Breath catching with exertion. 

It's so familiar, and yet, brand new.

Steve lets out a groan in Eddie's ear, and then comes inside Eddie's shorts, and that's a new feat, for sure. 

Steve clearly doesn't give a fuck if he glues himself to Eddie's pubic hair, as he lays down on Eddie fully. Naked, sated and happy. This is the kind of hot Eddie isn't going to complain about. 

He almost says so, when he feels the whoosh of air blow past his arm before there’s a splash in the pool. He freezes. He doesn’t dare open his eyes, even if he’s certain it’s only Gareth. Maybe Robin, if he's really unlucky.

Steve's house has a revolving door. You never know who's gonna show up, unannounced.

And Eddie can't help it, he flushes even further, cheeks red and hot, totally embarrassed. 

When Eddie finally cracks an eye open, he laughs when he sees Gareth standing in the pool, right at the edge. Arms folded, head resting on them. Staring right at Eddie. Gareth has no shame and doesn’t get embarrassed easily, if ever. 

Just like Steve, honestly.

How he's surrounded himself with these two, he's not exactly sure.

"Whatcha guys been doin'?" Gareth drawls out, like he can't see Steve's bare ass in his face and know exactly what they were doing. 

Gareth's caught them fucking in several countries at this point. This is nothing. It's not even in the top ten most compromising positions he's seen them in. But still. Eddie could do without it, for sure.

Gareth's dog, Bonzo, is prancing around poolside, barking and jumping, just as hyper as his owner.

Steve just shakes his head, leaning over and picking up his discarded Speedo and walks back towards the house, like it’s no big deal to be walking around the backyard, totally naked. It's nothing Gareth hasn't seen before, to be certain. They've all spent far too many years together, in far too many locker rooms. 

Still, Eddie lifts his hips, and gets his trunks back up and securely fastened. He’s not about to get caught naked if he can help it. Unlike Steve, he does have some shame, and doesn’t exactly desire his junk getting featured on TMZ.

Some days, Eddie thinks Steve's just daring them to run dick pics of him. Probably because he knows what he's packing, and nobody in their right mind is gonna give his dick bad press. 

Definitely not Eddie. No way.

Eddie is about to get up, when Bonzo seizes the opportunity for the freed up premium seating, and jumps up onto Eddie’s lap.

Eddie hears the chair give way before he feels it. Soon enough they’re both falling to the ground. It’s a short fall, but Eddie still scrapes his elbow on the concrete and Bonzo shoots him daggers as if this whole mess was Eddie's fault, as the dog darts away from the scene of the crime, and towards the house, trying to catch up with Steve.

Steve clearly saw it happen, and he’s doubled over laughing near the sliding glass doors, still naked, and Eddie really doesn’t find it all that funny. 

“Fuck you, asshole, that hurt!” Eddie yells across the yard as he awkwardly untangles himself from the wreckage. Steve just laughs harder, and as much as Eddie wants to, it’s hard for him to stay mad at Steve.

Eddie gets up and surveys the collapsed heap of vinyl and aluminum. It looks like it's a total loss, and that does make Eddie smile, fully thankful that the chair from hell finally met its overdue end.

He jogs to catch up with Steve, hoping to slide in the shower with him, where Steve will kiss his wounded pride all better, and maybe go for round two. 

Notes: Song is Permanent 99 by Christian Kane. It's not on Spotify, or I'd just embed it. Gareth's dog is Bonzo, after John Bonham. Because I still like to think he's a drummer in this world, and that still plays with Eddie here, too. They just took their focus elsewhere.

This is the kind of chair I'm talking about, which they're still making apparently?! I had no idea.

Doll Collar A-Xu (Handcrafted)

I'm back with more individually handmade artisan figs! This time, with a little tiny A-Xu, wearing one of his most distinctive costumes.

This costume is one of the more lavish ones A-Xu wears in the show.

I particularly like the little detail of the jade decorations with the ribbons at the waist:

The silk brocade fabric shows up so beautifully on screen during the show:

Not only was this gorgeous on the show, it was just as beautiful on stage at day two of the concert:

I love this outfit! So of course when I saw that my favorite fig artist had created another tiny figure in her series, I had to get it.

This miniature little guy arrived safely wrapped in bubble wrap, inside a soft plastic box. I definitely had this wrapped in air column wrap to protect it from any crushing damage on the trip across the ocean to me.

He's so cute! There's so much costume detail packed into this tiny little fig, and he has just the sweetest little face.

Such rosy little cheeks and a cute little nose. Even his ears are adorable!

His sleeves cover up a lot of the detail on the ribbons on the side, just like they do most of the time on the show. I didn't actually realize there were the carved jade decorations on the sides until I watched the concert.

The sleeves covered up most of the detail - but not all of it! You can see a tiny bit of the ornament peeking out from under the sleeve. I love it!

This artist always does a great job on the hair. It's hard to get it proportional on such a tiny figure, but she makes it look long and consistent to the show, while also not overwhelming the fig with hair upon hair.

His sleeve is totally covering up the ornament on this side, but we get a little more of the inner robe here.

Another cute profile pic! See what I mean about the hair? Really beautifully executed.

The little tiny hands are in such a cute pose. The detail on each individual finger just blows me away. People are so talented, I swear.

And back around again, to see the detail on the doll collar that gives this costume it's name, along with the wrapping on the second robe layer. And of course that belt. There's a ton going on with that belt, and I love it all.

Well, this is not quite the shot I was trying to get - I was trying to go for my normal bottoms-up angle, but it's a bit difficult with the wooden base. Usually I try to get more of an angle, but this was not great. Anyway, you can see his right hand a bit easier, and some detail on his shoes, and another angle on his beautiful smiling face.

Alright, a little better here on the top-down angle! You can see how well done the bangs are, and all the careful modeling to make this fig optimally proportioned for optimal cuteness.

Here he is with the Wenzhou set I posted about before here. So cute! I really love how this artist does the faces. Now I just need a matching Lao Wen in his mint green contrasting color robes.

The Role Of PVC And WPC Boards In Interior Architecture

When designing beautiful, functional interior spaces, the materials used for elements like wall paneling, doors, trim, and decorative molding play a key role. Architects and designers must balance aesthetics, durability, affordability, and ease of installation. Interior architects increasingly turn to PVC and WPC boards as versatile, high-performing solutions for various indoor architectural uses.

PVC Foam Boards

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) boards provide a budget-friendly alternative to solid wood panels, with moisture resistance and low maintenance needs. Some key benefits of PVC Foam boards for interiors include:

Cost Effectiveness — PVC boards cost significantly less than natural wood. Savings add up for large installations.

Lightweight — At less than half the weight of MDF, PVC installs easily without heavy equipment. Easier handling reduces labor time.

Durability — PVC stands up well to bumps, moisture, insects, and rotting. It retains its integrity over many years.

Customization — PVC boards can be cut, shaped, engraved, and machined for high design flexibility. Creates unique looks.

Low Maintenance — Unlike wood, PVC needs little upkeep, refinishing, or repair over time: easy soap and water cleaning.

Fire Resistance — PVC has flame-retardant properties and produces very little smoke when burned. Safer for residential and commercial spaces.

Consistency — Mass production of PVC boards ensures consistent thickness, color, and finishing. Reliable quality.

Common architectural uses for PVC boards include wall cladding, wainscoting, ceiling detailing, cabinetry, interior shutters, raised paneling, column wraps, door skins, window trim, baseboards, and backsplashes. With some creativity, the applications are nearly endless in commercial and residential settings. Paintable PVC offers even more possibilities.

WPC Boards

WPC (wood plastic composite) boards blend plastic and wood particles into durable, stable boards for interior use. Benefits of WPC include:

Strength — WPC contains fibers that make it stronger than 100% plastic or wood alone. Highly rigid and impact-resistant.

Stability — The composite material resists swelling and shrinking from moisture. Handles humidity fluctuations.

Workability — WPC machines like wood can be sanded, routed, and fastened using standard tools and hardware.

Customizable — WPC boards can be cut, shaped, engraved, and laminated for unique looks. Takes paints and stains.

Weather/Insect Resistance — With inherent durability and pest resistance, WPC withstands sun, rain, snow, and termites throughout seasons.

Easy Cleaning — WPC resists collecting dirt and wipes clean easily. Use soap and water to maintain appearance.

Eco-Friendly — Manufactured from recycled plastic and wood byproducts, WPC has a lighter environmental impact.

Architects often recommend WPC for exterior applications like decking, railing, facade paneling, and outdoor furniture. But WPC offers interior advantages as well. Common indoor uses include decorative wall cladding, wainscoting, window sills, door jambs, ceiling accents, columns, and millwork.

Maximizing PVC and WPC in Designs

When leveraging PVC boards or WPC doors in interior designs, keep these tips in mind:

Use backlighting or light boxes to make translucent panels stand out.

Accent with solid wood or metal for visual interest.

Opt for textured finishes and grooves for added dimension.

Complement sleek PVC with rough wood textures and vice versa.

Use neutral PVC as a base for bold painted patterns or prints.

Install WPC as an eco-friendly accent against drywall or brick.

Shape into geometric or nature-inspired cutouts for wall art and dividers.

Fully waterproof bathrooms and kitchens with easy-clean PVC or WPC wall cladding.

Both PVC and WPC offer reliability, customization, and affordability. Contact a leading manufacturer like JKD Plastics to explore how these materials can enhance your next interior architecture project through innovative design and sensible functionality.

Smart Basement Pole Cover Tips - A Complete Basement Renovation

Expanding your home's living area and enhancing its resale value is easily achieved by finishing the basement. And transforming even the gloomiest basements into a contemporary and cozy space for the whole family to enjoy is generally a straightforward task. However, complete basement renovation can present some challenging obstacles. Most basements feature a support pole, which replaces a supporting wall to bear the weight of the entire house. Suppose you wish to maintain an open basement concept or avoid the added cost of relocating the support pole. In that case, you must employ imaginative decorating solutions to harmonize it with the surrounding space.

How Are Basement Pole Cover Tips Helpful For A Complete Basement Renovation?

Anyhow, the basement pole carries all the weight of the building that needs more attention while renovating your house or basement. Here are some basement pole cover tips that have been shared below. You may scroll down to explore.

While not all basements are equipped with support poles, you might find the concept of a decorative faux support column appealing. If the materials such as wood, plaster, drywall, and craft moldings are utilized, you can pay tribute to renowned architectural pillars inspired by the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. Alternatively, you can easily transform your space by purchasing ready-made PVC column wraps for a more cost-effective option for the complete basement renovation. These wraps provide an instant makeover to the appearance of your basement.

2. Cover It Up With Fabric

When it comes to DIY basement pole wraps, using different fabrics is a highly recommended idea that allows for personal style preferences. One of the easiest and most refined methods is to wrap a rope around the pole, securing it with glue and screws. By selecting ropes of varying colors and thicknesses, you may achieve the desired aesthetic with this custom basement renovations idea. Another option is to employ fabric panels, curtains, or even a tapestry to conceal the poles and create an elegant atmosphere artfully.

3. Install Shelving

The majority of homeowners face challenges when it comes to finding adequate storage space to maintain a tidy and organized home. However, a creative solution lies in repurposing the basement pole for much-needed storage. Skilled designers, such as those at Harmony Basements, can effortlessly convert these support poles into personalized storage solutions by incorporating shelves. In addition, with the help of basement renovation services and careful placement, it is even possible to utilize a section of the pole shelving as a convenient side table for a recliner or sofa, maximizing space utilization.

PVC board is a thin, rigid material that is regarded as tough for usage outside because it is impervious to rain and resistant to wind and sunshine. A network of interconnected polymers between PVC and polyurea makes up a PVC board. Polyurea and polyvinyl chloride are first combined under carefully regulated circumstances. After that, the mixture is poured into a mould. The sides of the filled mould are clamped shut to seal it, and the mould is then heated in a big press. Then, a slab of sturdy material pops out of the mould. The substance is then expanded to its final density in a hot bath before being cured. Depending on the needs of the buyer, the material is then prepared to be cut into sheets of varying widths and thicknesses.

Types of PVC Boards

There are now two types of PVC boards: hollow and foam. Foam boards are hard and thicker/wider in nature, while hollow boards are flexible and hollow on the inside. Both foam PVC kitchen cabinets and hollow PVC kitchen cabinets are excellent options because they come in a selection of vibrant colors that will quickly liven up the appearance of your kitchen. PVC foam boards come in glossy, laminated, and matt finishes as well.

PVC Vs Plywood

PVC panels perform better than conventional plywood. When constructing or restoring a home, we have seen plywood or chip/particle boards employed in a variety of applications. But more lately, architects and builders have been choosing PVC board over plywood, and this appears to be a wise decision for a variety of reasons. All the uses for traditional plywood that PVC boards can take the place of include: building wardrobes, cabinets, countertops and tables, doors, shutters and door frames, classroom desks and benches, partitions, louvres and windows, false ceilings, fences, garden furniture, walls, office workstations, wall cladding, switch cabinets, control panels, signage, column wraps, etc. PVC boards come in a variety of thicknesses. They come in a variety of colours and are appropriate for many applications.

Properties

They merely need to be dusted or cleaned using cleaning solutions and a soft cloth, unlike wood and steel doors, which require routine maintenance. They deliver improved effectiveness. It aids in raising the project's general LEED or comparable green building ratings. Because of their small weight, they are easily loaded and transported. Given their improved longevity, they are inexpensive and offer value. Less money is spent on shipping and handling. They can be applied to surfaces both as ornamental finishing materials and for structural functions and have a polished surface that is smooth. The density of the PVC board is uniform throughout the board and it is homogeneous. PVC boards are resistant to termites, waterproof, and long-lasting. They don't have any lead or cadmium. They are free of lead, cadmium, and other carcinogens. As PVC foam boards can be recycled, they don't harm the environment. PVC Boards never erupt and are self-extinguishing.
