Between the Tower and the Star – Close enough to collide by strandhai
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
Steve Harrington and Jonathan Byers have always existed in the same gravity well: close enough to feel the pull, never close enough to touch.
Across collapsing worlds, tarot readings, radio towers, road trips, and late-night conversations that circle everything except the truth, they keep missing each other by inches.
Some stories are about impact.
Others are about orbit.
This is a collection of moments — canon, canon-divergent, and quietly inevitable — where the distance narrows, the math changes, and gravity finally wins.
Additional chapter-specific warnings are provided in author’s notes where applicable.Series

Summary
44…92…153…186…Dream counts out each and every single one of Hob’s orgasms as he spreads them across Hob's body from head-to-toe. Words become lost to Hob as he twitches and gasps and writhes in pleasure under his lover’s ministrations. Hob finally loses the count completely after two-hundred…two-hundred orgasms throb across his twitching body, creating new and unknown constellations of pleasure.
“Shall we still continue, dearheart?”

“You were trying to discourage me… from propositioning you?” Dream repeats, bewildered.
Hob sighs, and spreads out his hands. “I think we need a little background, here.”

Basically, my 1489-Hob-made-himself-look-unfuckable-on-purpose magnum opus. Inspired by the great Tumblr Hob fuckability debates of 2022.

Summary
Let it fall, let it burn to embers beneath its own hubris, let the flames eat him too so that he may repent for this, for all the things he's done.
For all the times he's lied through his teeth to his men, to his officers; his soldiers, his pawns; his friends, his family. Let him burn for all the things he's said, for all the wrongness that builds inside of him, battering against the wall of his psyche. Let him burn for the tide, for the ocean his pirate loves more than he'll ever love James.
