“Release her now,” Edward says, “and I may yet spare your life.” His tone does not inspire trust, and Stephanie cannot deny the thrill it sends through her.

Summary
There’s only one car in the driveway. It’s a familiar one. He’s spent countless hours in that passenger seat. In the driver’s seat, when the owner was a little too wasted to get behind the wheel.
In the backseat, panting into a familiar mouth.
Cradling a freckled face.
He knocks on the door.

Summary
Steve never minded living in Eddie’s shadow. He liked the chaos, the noise, the way Eddie looked like he might catch fire on stage at any second. What he minded, though he’d never admit it out loud, were the songs. Every crowd screamed Eddie’s words back at him, but none of them were for Steve. Not the angry anthems, not the messy love songs, not even the ballads that left reporters breathless.
Steve told himself it didn’t matter. He didn’t need the spotlight, didn’t need Eddie to spell his name in lyrics. He just needed Eddie to come back to him when the lights went down.
But five songs in, after years of motel rooms, arenas, fights, and backstage kisses that tasted like smoke and blood, Eddie finally wrote the one that was.
And Steve wasn’t sure his heart could take it.
OR:
Five songs Eddie swore weren’t about Steve, and one that absolutely is.

Summary
Eddie’s barely takes a step towards the hallway before Steve’s outline catches his attention. He’s leaning on the kitchen counter, his eyes closed, head tilted upwards, looking every bit as beaten as he did outside.
“Hey, you ok?” Eddie asks, though he already knows the answer. Knows Steve will try to play it off. He walks closer to him.
“She’s not totally wrong. I just…I thought I was, I don’t know, better, I guess. Turns out I’m still just…bullshit.”
or
3 times Steve stands up for himself in front of Eddie and the 1 time Eddie does it for him.

Summary
MELISSA: "Greg, you're right by the red carpet, waiting for music’s biggest stars to arrive. Who are you most excited to see?"
GREG: "That’s a tough one, Melissa. Britney Spears is making her first appearance here in over a decade, which is huge. But if I’m being honest? Eddie Munson."
MELISSA: "Ah, yes—Munson, lead guitarist of Corroded Coffin, nominated for Best Song and Best Album tonight. Why him?"
GREG: "Well, we all know he loves the spotlight and never shies away from a little chaos. But the real buzz? The rumors that the openly out rockstar and notorious flirt might be debuting a partner tonight—potentially breaking hearts everywhere."
Or the one where Steve and Eddie broke the internet.

Summary
“You know what I’m angriest at?” Eddie asks softly after a few moments, his voice weak and breaking from his crying. Steve touches his head again.
“What?” Steve whispers.
“...He’s fucking right.”
