Title: in gold light, lakeside and backlit Author: @ingoldenlight / rebelsquad Artist: @andyhaldanes Pairing: Andrew “Ack-Ack” Haldane/Edward “Hillbilly” Jones, Robert Leckie/Hoosier “Bill” Smith (background) Rating: PG-13 Warnings: There are minor instances or references to homophobia (no physical harm, slurs or internalized homophobia though), depression (Leckie, and receives support for it) and discussions of religion (basically pulled from canon and slightly expanded on). Word Count: 75 390 Summary: All Eddie wants for his last months of high school is to have a good time with his friends on the soccer team and to figure out what to do about these feelings he has for his best friend and team captain. A change in league regulations that puts five new guys on their team does not make this an easy feat. And neither does Andy, who is not only incredibly easy to pine for, but who also will move a thousand miles across the country for college come fall. Turns out growing up ain't easy. Turns out it doesn't have to be that hard, either. Link to fic: Here Link to art: by @andyhaldanes, can be found here, and - just because i love it so much - here
