Masterlist: Fool's Gold
Originally on AO3 | Navigation and Masterlists
Excerpt:
You have a confession. Youâve sort of always had a weird, perverted interest in The Freak. Something about his long hair and dark aesthetic and tarnished reputation really turns you on in a way your usual palate of meatheads doesnât, although you would never, emphasis on never, let anybody know that. Youâll sooner die than let word get out that you have the hots for The Freak King. But, Eddieâs nothing like youâd thought heâd be: aggressive, hateful, maybe a little cartoonish in his villainry. Heâs human. Heâs a boy that gets flustered when a girl comes onto him, who refuses to mess around when drinks are involved, who posts himself at the door to keep anyone from taking that wasted chance for their own. This Eddie, the real Eddie, is nothing like you fantasized about, and youâre not sure what that means.
