- Description:
A challenge set by the author, for the author, to break out of writer's block. Fics are rough and barely edited, not beta'd, and are meant to be more of a creative exercise than a showcase of literary prowess. But the love of Springsteen is real and serious. Each individual fic is based on lyrics and/or vibes from a specific song, and may be expanded on in the future.

“I’m so fucking scared,” he says finally, quietly, like it’s some deep secret, like he isn’t trembling like a leaf.
“Yeah, I got that. Sneaking away in the middle of the night is pretty textbook scared behavior.”Series

Summary
Robby and Jack are very good friends. Jack neither wants, nor deserves to be exposed to how Robby jerks off to the thought of him and then wipes himself off with a corner of the sheet, and the falls asleep, drunk on bourbon, longing, and an endless loop of gold.
Or:
Robby thinks about Jack's arms, has a risky drink before bed, and overestimates his own technological abilities.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a man as tall as Dr Michael Robinavitch, and in possession of both an MD and a set of wistful, brown eyes, must not only be aware of his own worth but also have at least some fucking game.

“Take off your clothes,” Robby says finally, low and a little pleading.

Summary
It’s the first time they’ve ever hugged, the two of them. Which is very strange, if you think about it. They have keys to each other’s houses, they’ve handed each other scalpels and beers and sleeping pills, Jack’s popped Robby’s shoulder back in its socket for fuck’s sake - but they’ve never hugged. And Jack hadn’t realized that, until this very moment.

Summary
“What if we just don’t talk, Jack.”
He says it quietly, almost lost in the wind except those words could be flung at Jack from the other end of a continent and he’d still catch them. Robby’s eyes are massive, big and brown and sad, filled with grief and longing, and he’s leaning in, asking with his body if not with outright words, and this, this Jack knows how to do.
