Summary
Steve looks down at his hands, which are shaking violently. His room is dark, and the silence is overbearing. The smell of blood fills his nostrils, even though there’s no blood anywhere. Only in his head, and now on his hands as he watches them. Screeching outside of his windows has him flinching away. Wings beat against the window, and Steve knows it’s not real. He does, but it also is. And his heart is beating out of his chest, his skin clammy.
Everything is red, just like the sky, a sky full of bats. And they’re tearing off his skin, biting into his side. He drops into the corner, arms over his head. He’s quivering, trying stop, but his head is spinning now. Everything blurs together, and then Steve wakes up face down on his carpeted floor. It’s hard to breathe like this, and his whole body hurts. He pushes himself up on shaking arms, tears dripping down his face. It’s light outside now, birds chirping, meaning he’s been out for at least six hours.

Summary
They clawed at each other like men on fire, fingers digging into jackets and mouths sliding open too fast, too deep. Every breath was shared, stolen. Eddie cursed into Steve’s mouth and tried to push him to turn them around and push him against the wall, but Steve pinned him harder, thigh pressed hard between Eddie’s legs. The groan that escaped was raw and startled.
“Still wanna run your mouth?” Steve growled, lips at his ear.
“Only if you’re planning to shut it properly,” Eddie gasped.
That did it.
—in which Steve and Eddie get lost in the Upside Down and the tension makes them end up having a little too much fun with each other in a dirty bathroom at the arcade.

Summary
Steve had finished another sermon and Eddie sat in the pews his eyes staring Steve down hungrily. The church once a sanctuary of peace, now felt like a playground of temptation, where every shadow danced with possibility. He stood up tracing the intricate patterns of the stained-glass window, his eyes reflecting the hues of sin and salvation. "You know, Steve," he murmured, his voice a low rumble, "these windows, they tell stories of love and loss, of temptation and redemption. They're not so different from us. Steve looked up his eyes meeting Eddie's fiery gaze. A shiver ran down his spine from the forbidden intense love that crackled between them. Eddie was right; their story was one of love and temptation, a dance with the devil in the sacred halls of the church. Eddie crossed the cool stone floor and pointed at the window, his finger following the curve of a fallen angel. "This one was cast out for loving the wrong being. But was it really so wrong? Love, in all its forms, isn't it divine?" Eddie's words echoed his own suppressed thoughts. He turned to face Eddie, Eddie's eyes were pools of desire, reflecting Steve's own longing. "Maybe love is its own redemption." Steve whispered, his voice hoarse with restraint.

Summary
It started out as a joke. Most things do when you spend most of your time with a gaggle of fourteen-year-olds who thought they were funnier than they actually were.
He doesn't remember exactly what the argument was about. Probably something about his old 'King Steve' persona. The mention of that phase always made Steve more reckless than usual.
"Bet you won't wear a skirt next time we go to the arcade," Dustin had said, all smug, like he got him. Like this was the one thing he wouldn't agree to. Lucas and Mike had immediately joined in, laughing at the thought of it. And Steve–tired, over caffeinated, reckless–had just shrugged.
"Okay," he said, like it was nothing.
And it was nothing. At first.

Summary
The Food Channel is desperate, ratings are abysmal and they don’t know how they will stay afloat. In a last-ditch effort, they cash in all their favors to score some celebrities and hand-selected a batch of bakers. A metalhead, a drag queen, an obsessive horror fan, a deaf guy, and even a vegan. They’re going to appeal to ALL demographics.
If that doesn’t work, the rivalries they brewed behind the scenes (with a few clever spies and suggestible contestants focused on the prize money) should do the trick. Who doesn’t love a bit of reality TV fighting? That should lure the viewers in.
Between high-pressured bakes the cast makes friends, enemies, and everything in between but no one could have plotted what happens to the cute baker from Hawkins, IN and the outlandish and lucky-to-be-there baker from Chicago.
Who will win the grand prize of fifty thousand dollars and whose life will be changed for ever?
