Fics like waiting for the hammer to fall

From the stereo, Freddie Mercury’s voice kicks in with a familiar refrain. Steve taps along to the beat against the steering wheel. From the corner of his eye, he sees Eddie watching him. “What?” Steve prompts. “I like this song.” “You— what?” “I like this song. Dude, I literally own this album. Look.” He gestures towards the glove compartment, which Eddie pops open. Sure enough, among the cassettes crammed in with the BMW’s instruction manual and Steve’s registration info, Queen’s The Works is nestled between a copy of Born in the U.S.A. and Abbey Road. “Well, I’ll be damned,” Eddie says, not missing a beat. A sharkish grin spreads across his face. “The King isn’t as much of a square as I assumed.” Or: Eddie sets out to “educate” Steve on metal, only to learn that Steve knows much more than he gives him credit for. (A love letter to Steve’s many dimensions.)
