    Summary

    “Just gimme a minute,” Bruce shot back. He had bent over now, rummaging through the bag he’d brought. This time his ass wasn’t positioned towards Steve though, so he opted instead to try and decipher whatever was going on in Bruce’s head by studying the look on his face.

    Maybe Steve had pushed it a little too far. Maybe Bruce wasn’t comfortable with as much of that now.

    Bruce had been the one that had ended things between them after all, whatever they were. Steve hadn’t argued with him about it. Getting kicked from the band by the record label had hurt enough and for Bruce’s sake, he hadn’t wanted to make things worse than they already were.

    Steve wondered if Bruce had found someone else, someone he was serious about. He wondered if it was one of the guys in the band, filling the role that had once been his.

    Summary

    Brown eyes filled with both shame and curiosity peer over the magazine and towards the bed where Bruce is currently hunched over his notebook (again), scribbling away as though his very life depends on it. He writes a line then scratches out something higher up the page. He stares at his words, then circles something else.

    “I’m takin’ a shower,” Stevie declares, haphazardly tossing the magazine onto the table in the corner of the room. Though his muscles feel stiff from the awkward position he’s been lounging in for the past hour, he’s not about to stretch and draw too much attention to himself. The last thing he needs is for Bruce to notice he’s hard.

    … But that would require his friend to even look at him right now, and Bruce is much too focused on whatever song he is or was writing, and it doesn’t seem like he’ll be joining the rest of the world anytime soon. Most of the time, Bruce’s focus can drive Stevie mad.

    Tonight, he’s grateful for it.

    “You think you’re real special, but you know what you do, coming in here with that long hair, that earring. I knew what you were the moment I laid eyes on you,” the trucker growls.

    Summary

    Once, Patti had teased Clarence, “He always seems to submit to you.”

    Clarence had laughed, “He might not know it, but I’m just doing what he obviously tells me to do. What he needs. He just doesn’t say it.”

    Over the years, Patti has learned what he meant. A twitch of the shoulder, her husband spacing out. That faraway look. Sometimes, he needs that firm touch she's had plenty of time to practice.

    And sometimes, they both just need a quick, filthy post-concert fuck.

    Tears ran down William’s face, soft sobs leaving his mouth as Saul tried to comfort him.
    “Izzy Stradlin is a nobody.”
    “Then why does everyone seem to want him?”

    Summary

    It feels all so very alien, connecting with his old man like this at the grand age of 32, but Bruce slips into place as if this was natural to him. That thought alone makes him so angry and resentful. Because why couldn’t it have been that way all along?

    Or: Bruce sits on his father's lap, and many tears are shed.

    Summary

    At nineteen years old, Alex had been a kid who had turned his back on the life his parents mapped for him: Georgetown, then law school, then politics – just like his mother and father. Instead, he’d taken his guitar and the songs he couldn’t stop writing and told them, this is what I want. Then Bruce Springsteen pulled him on stage and launched his career as a world-famous singer/guitarist.

    Now he was twenty-eight, the world-famous “ACD,” his face on billboards from Tokyo to Paris to New York. When he and Henry meet and fall in love, the spotlight and touring life became too much for Henry. So Henry leaves, ends the relationship and breaks both their hearts. When Alex steps back into the Jersey Shore bar where it all started for him, he's at a crossroads. Which spotlight will shine brighter: his career or his love for Henry?

    EDIT: Now with Chapter 2 showing Henry's POV :)
