  1. Summary

    These fics are for the Mixtape Madness event from Steddie Bingo. Mixtape Madness is set of six fics based on songs. For mine, I chose 3 for Steve, 3 for Eddie, all era-appropriate music.

    While these are meant to be in the same continuity, they each stand alone as their own snapshot of Steve and Eddie's relationship over time and can be read independently.

    Summary

    “Have you… ever been in love?”

    Robin would have been holding her breath with anxiety, if she had breath left in her lungs to hold.

    They did not speak of Steve’s past.

    In the nearly sixty-five years they had been together, he had never told her outright that the subject was forbidden.

    He had never needed to.

    Summary

    “I mean, what was your first time like?”

    “What?” Eddie froze, turning rigid under Steve’s arm.

    “What was it like with that first guy?”

    Eddie shifted nervously, reaching for the bottle to give his hands something to do. He thought about lying, about making up some fictitious naked stranger in a dirty bathroom somewhere. This was about to be humiliating. He gritted his teeth and tried not to panic.

    “Uh, well, you should know…You were there.” he scoffed quietly, sideeyeing Steve.

    Or…Eddie doesn’t tell Steve he’s a virgin until it’s too late, until after it hurts, until it’s over and he’s running again. This time, Steve doesn’t let him run.
