Summary
Erwin Smith is in town for a work conference and an affair. It’s what Nile says normal, admirable men do in the throes of a midlife crisis. But he never gets around to it after accidentally witnessing a turf war hit job at the very massage parlor he’s seconds from visiting. Luckily, he’s got Eren, a Russian mafia former junkie maybe-hitman probably-prostitute who wants to help—as long as Erwin’s willing to repay the favor by helping him defect from the organization. Running from a motley crew of sophisticated criminals, Erwin gets caught up in the midst of Eren, a mafia queen named Petra, and, among others, Levi the “clean-up guy”…who has a few conditions before helping get Erwin out of the country. And really, Erwin wasn’t asking for a paradigmatic shift in himself as a person—all he wanted was an affair. // any trans. will be at bottom of chapter.

Summary
Mike's call came completely out of fucking nowhere, because:
1. Richie didn’t even realize it had been twenty-five years since he left high school, when did he get so goddamn old and
2. He’d assumed that everyone lost touch with each other as much as he had.Like, did everyone just decide to drop everything and run off back home to Cha Cha Slide around a high school gym for an evening? Who even does that?
Richie considers what his schedule looks like (busy, he’s got a tour to kick off) and how his last few months have been (busy, he had a script to rehearse into sounding convincing for said tour kick-off) and says:“Yeah, sure, man, I’ll be there.”

Summary
“I mean,” Eddie said, shrugging. “You did the whole celebrity party scene, right? You’d be familiar with where to, I mean, you know.” Richie didn't know, but he had a good guess.
“What?” he asked. “I mean, yeah, man, I’ve been to parties, but not like—I did coke, like, twice. In 2003. I’m a standup, not a founding member of the Pussy Posse.”
“I know that—”
“Believe it or not, I don’t have Leo’s number. I could maybe get ahold of Harmony Korine, but that’d be a big ask.”Eighteen months after Clown Murder Take 2, Richie and Eddie find themselves in different flavors of the same problem. They've both made some big life changes in the last year, but it feels like there's something missing. The only viable solution, obviously, is to try and kickstart their midlife crises together.

Summary
"You're not smiling."
Steve recrosses his arms so that the left is now the one on top as Bucky uses his own left arm to scrub his handkerchief back over his temple and swipe away another bead of sweat before it has the chance to drip down. “I only smile when I’m happy.”
Jesus. His attitude right now is as far up the scale of sour as their house is upstate. Bucky knows he said he was going to let Steve be the one to come forward himself with his problems, and he will. But it’s looking like Steve might need that help he also mentioned sooner rather than later, so it’s with that thought in mind that Bucky takes his next step.
Figuratively, his next step is to try and get Steve to relax, but literally, his next step is one that he takes back towards where their beat up Buick is parked beside his bike, tossing his handkerchief up to sit over his shoulder as he leans back onto the hood and pats his grease streaked thigh with a fond smile and a roll of his eyes.
“Okay,” he exhales, beckoning Steve over with the first two fingers of his flesh hand. “Talk to daddy.”
(alternatively: a too long look into the only pet name steve uses)
