    Summary

    Axl fucking loved baseball. He couldn’t live without it. There was just something about men with long hair holding bats that he just enjoyed so much. Especially when people like Jeffrey Dean Isbell existed.

    Or

    Axl's favorite baseball player has a secret he can't reveal. When he slowly starts to fall for Axl, he gets scared of what the public would think.

    Summary

    Realization #1: Steve is wearing a costume. He’s dressed as Springsteen on the cover of Born In The U.S.A. The album cover is staring at Eddie from the stack of records by the speakers, and he flicks his eyes between the cover and Steve, almost laughing at how obvious the resemblance is.

    Immediately after that, revelations two and three slam into him like an eighteen-wheeler.

    #2: Bruce Springsteen is kind of hot.

    #3: Steve Harrington is really hot.

    A fourth and much louder thought echoes through Eddie’s brain: oh, shit.

    (Many months ago, I wrote a tumblr post about Steve Harrington being a Bruce Springsteen enjoyer. This fic is about that.)

    Podfic of ‘cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run by stellarpoint (pettifogger).

    Summary

    by the time the door slams shut behind him, regret is already flooding so quickly into his chest that steven van zandt wonders if he might not choke on it, drown in his own hubris, smothered by his own bruised, swollen ego. that’s what truly drove him away in the end, pushed him to do what he swore he would never — retreat, run, only to find himself on the other side of this wall, back pressed flush against it as he sucks in too-quick breaths. they bring no relief, only further ache, and closing his eyes does nothing but spill the tears clinging to his lashes down over his face. the crown of his head meets the worn wood of the door behind him and he fights the urge to kick it down, to storm back into that room and drop everything he’s shouldering deep inside of himself at his frontman’s feet, but bruce springsteen has enough on his plate — he doesn’t need to entertain another hungry heart, even if it is one that beats in time with his own.

Bruce, expelled from his university for unacceptable extracurricular activities, returns home to find that he's lost everything, and hops a freight with no destination in mind, only wanting to get away from the gossip and the horrific memories, only to be ejected from the train on the edge of John's farm.
