Callum was a good guy, clean and tidy and mostly kept to himself - plus he wasn’t a terrible thing to look at first thing in the morning as they wallowed over coffee and breakfast and mourned the day ahead. Tall, and broad, and dark swooping hair with an arse that looked good in anything. 

(Ben might have a small, tiny, practically nonexistent crush on his straight roommate. It’s nothing, really.)

It’s been so good knowing there was a new long fic every day - although my productivity at [home]work took a big hit!

There were so many amazing fics and I am glad we have a few more days of it. Thanks to all the organisers and especially all the talented creators.

Ballum Big Bang 2020

Stars Collide by @thefancyspin | AO3

As young kids, Ben and Callum used to be best of friends. With troubled home lives, they found family and love with each other. But when Phil Mitchell’s dodgy dealings land him in hot water, Ben is hauled off to America and the boys lose touch.    

Ten years later, Ben comes back to Walford. It seem like they have a second chance to mend their friendship - but can they do it? And if they do, is friendship all they have? Or is there something more, something deeper?

Trying to find a present for your boyfriend vs Trying to stop your father from killing someone…

The Ex Factor  |  by @racheliswritingfic

Ben Mitchell has always dreamed about a music career. When he gets asked to be part of a new TV reality competition, he jumps at the chance.

Callum Highway is relishing in a new role as handler for contestants on a tv show, when he realises one of the people auditioning is someone he used to know.  Will Ben reach for superstardom or realise the top prize is something (or someone) else entirely?

THIS IS FOR ME ❤️

This is your pain, that’ll never go away. This is the rest of your life. See, the pain doesn’t get any smaller, but the things you do, the world around you, it gets bigger.

You Pretended You Never Got Lost  |  by @leblonde

“The honest answer, if Ben admits it, is that he doesn’t just like Callum, he wants him. From the moment he saw him in the station waiting room. From the second that Callum looked at him, underneath the bruises. Ben wants all of his goodness and light, all of his softness and gentleness, he wants to always be looked at like he’s a person that deserves to be looked at. He wants Callum waiting for him in every room, he doesn’t want him to get married, he wants to take him far away from the Square but also to stay here so that he can show his dad that it’s possible for him to be happy. He wants to hear Callum’s voice in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, to have Callum notice things about him, to point out the things he likes. He wants Callum’s hands on him again, to be held like he’s something important. He wants he wants. He cannot have.”

Or: Ben is a gangster’s son. Callum is an almost police officer who could save him. Or maybe the saving is mutual.

Amazing artwork for an amazing story

All of the moments where eastenders writers have hinted, intentionally or not, that callum is gay before it was revealed on screen... let me know what you think!
