    Summary

    Steve’s mind is racing. Would it be possible to solve Eddie’s problem, and by extension, his own problem, without a lick of jail time for either of them?

    Summary

    Foot of the Gallows Marriage: A folk tradition, primarily attested in medieval France and Germany, in which one condemned to die could be saved and granted a full pardon if a citizen of moral character stepped forward before the execution and consented to wed the condemned.

    ✘ ❦ ✘

    Christine Cunningham is found dead on the outskirts of the small village of Hawkins. The only suspect: Eddie Munson, blamed by circumstance and without solid proof of his innocence. His execution is all but assured until a voice rises up from the assembled crowd shouting, “I will marry him.”

    Summary

    “Steve really needed to get his stupid thing he had with Munson under control. He struggled to find a word for it. It was like an anti-crush or something. The same awareness and panic that a crush brought, but not because he had feelings for the guy. Because of the opposite. Because any time he saw Munson, his heart kicked up in fear, his breathing got shallow, his whole body started to warm. Munson made him want to turn heel and run.”

    In which Steve has the opposite of the suspended bridge effect.

    (Featuring omega!Steve pretending to be an alpha and alpha!Eddie silently losing his mind.)
