Summary:
"Stephen" knows he's straight but he keeps ending up having sex with men like Jon Stewart, Steve Carell, and Tad.
For the prompts: "Stephen"/his-not-very-well-disguised-desire-for-dudes, so you can anywhere you want with that: his canon lusting after Jon, Tad, and pretty much everybody (I feel like Even Stepvhens is criminally under-represented as a pairing in fic), and Stephen having serious issues.
