Sharing Smokes Outside the Snow Ball

AO3 Link

It's the Winter of 1999, and Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson are standing outside the Hawkins Middle School Snow Ball, sharing a smoke.

Eddie can't believe he's back here, the whole thing feeling nearly as surreal as that nightmare, wayward Spring Break over ten years ago. He'd barely made it out of that hell hole alive, Steve himself practically having to hold Eddie together as they made their way from Forest Hill to Hawkins Memorial Hospital.

Spring had turned into summer, sweltering and oppressive as Eddie slowly, painfully healed.

There had been bright spots, though. Watching Lucas and Erica squabble during the one-shot campaign he had cooked up just for the party that June. Evenings out beside the Harrington's temperature controlled pool, beer bottle sweating in his hand as he traded a joint back and forth between Argyle and Jonathan, the sound of Robin's cackle loud and bright as she managed to hipcheck Steve into the pool. Steve's own blinding smile--a longtime feature of Eddie's secret high school fantasies--being turned on him the first time he made it from the front doors of the physical therapy clinic to the passenger side of his BMW, without needing any help at all.

But then summer had ended, and Eddie, finally back together again like a character out of a children's nursery rhyme, had packed up his van and headed straight to Chicago, not looking back.

Sure, there'd been post cards sent, phone calls to Dustin and the other Hellfire brats, promises to see everyone soon. Promises that Eddie couldn't keep, even if he wanted to.

Not when he didn't dare set foot in Hawkins, not ever again.

Then, over a decade into his second life as a struggling guitarist by night, record shop employee by day, his cousin Brooke had landed on his doorstep, looking too tired and too young all at once, a bruise around her eye. Behind her, her eleven year old son was studying the apartment hall's tiling.

"I left him." Eddie didn't need an explanation for that one. Her good-for-nothing husband, Nash. "Jake won't be any trouble, he just...needs a place to stay, while I get back on my feet. Somewhere his daddy can't find him. Just for a little while."

Eddie thought of his Mama. And then he called Wayne.

"Shit, Uncle Wayne, I--don't know what to do."

"Come on home now, boy," Wayne said, easy as anything, like Eddie had left only yesterday. "Come on back home."

So Eddie had.

That had been six months ago. And now he was standing in the aforementioned middle school parking lot with Steve 'the Hair' Harrington, while their kids--and wasn't that just a fucking head trip and a half--danced the night away.

"I keep half expecting Click to round the corner screaming my name," Eddie admits as he gives Steve a light. "Remember junior year, I sold to you in the alley behind the gym? Old bat nearly got me that time."

"Remember? I literally had to shove that joint down the front of my shorts, dude," Steve admits, which draws a snort out of Eddie to match his own chuckle. "Most of the guys on the basketball team couldn't move half as fast as you did that day. You practically vanished into the woods before she even made it to the stadium. Totally shoulda gone out for the track team, Eds."

Eddie clutches his chest, as though he's been shot. "Don't speak such blasphemy to me, Harrington."

"Yeah, well, you can quit worrying. Pretty sure she finally retired," Steve tells him, taking a long drag before he's passing the cigarette back to Eddie, even that brief touch enough to send sparks of electricity up Eddie's arm. Then he shoots Eddie that charming, infamous Harrington smile, boyish and cocky, the one that says he's used to getting exactly what he wants. "Even if she's not, I'm head of the PTA. If Higgins tries anything, I'll just threaten not to bring cupcakes to the next bake sale."

"Harrington, my hero," Eddie fakes a swoon, collapsing for a brief second against Steve's shoulder, an excuse to get close.

The theatrics get no rise out of Steve beyond an amused smirk. Even after all these years, he's still used to Eddie's antics, it seems.

"You know, it was total déjà vu," he nods to the middle school gymnasium, all decked out in blue and white, "dropping Sam off here."

Though he's actually gotten to know the Harrington offspring in person since he's been back, Eddie had received the rundown from Dustin and the others on Steve's journey to dadhood in their scattered calls over the years.

The December after Eddie had left, Steve had met a girl, taken her out on a few dates, and accidentally gotten her pregnant.

With Samantha, a name Dustin had proudly persuaded Steve into as the little girl's godfather. Every bit as adorable, now that Eddie had seen her, as the gushing picture the party had painted for him, all big blue eyes and wavy chestnut hair just like her father's.

Steve had gotten down on one knee long before she was born, determined to tie the knot and do right by her mother nearly as soon as he'd heard the news.

The pair had been divorced not even two years later.

"I don't think they were ever really in love," Dustin had informed Eddie one sunny afternoon impromptu of nothing, as always blunt in his honesty. "But you know what Steve is like. He's a hopeless romantic."

Eddie didn't, not exactly. But he's gotten enough glimpses, both back in '86 and much more recently, that he's starting to put the picture together.

Steve draws Eddie out of that particular reverie with another bright laugh. And then he's recounting the memory of Dustin's hair, done up in the infamous Harrington 'do, as Steve pulled up in front of the '84 Snow Ball playing chaperone in his trusty Beemer, long since traded in for the much more affordable sedan he's driving now.

"I demand photographic evidence, Harrington," Eddie insists, smile crooked, that distracting dimple appearing in his right cheek, "you can't conjure up an image like that and then not fork over the goods."

"Hey, man, talk to Dustin. Mrs. Henderson took like...a million pictures that night," Steve laughs.

But he's already mentally going through the album tucked away on a bookcase back at home, positive he's got his own photo to show for it. It'll make for a nice excuse to invite Eddie over for dinner one night.

The subject turns then to their own checkered experiences with school dances.

"Class of '85, baby! That's when they made your 'King Steve' title official," Eddie crows, teasing as he taps Steve once on the nose.

Steve goes a bit cross-eyed, following the movement of his finger.

"Yeah, well, talk about a total let-down of a night. I didn't even bring a date," Steve admits, tone blasé. The truth is, his entire senior year had been something of a disappointed trudge towards graduation, a walk he had taken mostly alone. There had been bright spots--the little band of miscreants he'd fallen into babysitting, for one--but they had all been far outside the walls of Hawkins High. "I'm guessing you weren't around for that? Not really your scene, especially with the Munson Doctrine's strict rules about 'forced conforming.'"

He puts Eddie's words in deliberate air quotes, his turn to give him a teasing smile.

"You're wrong about that one, big boy. I saw them, adorning your glorious locks with the crown." That mischievous smile is back. "We're not that old, dude, don't tell me you already forgot the whole 'prom streaking' incident?"

Eddie shoots him a loaded, deliberate look.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Shaking his head with a laugh, Steve waves his arms in front of him, like he's calling a time out. "You've gotta be fucking kidding me. That was you?"

"The one and only. What can I say, Jeff and Gareth dared me. Besides, by that point," Eddie shrugs casually, "I already knew I didn't have a shot at graduating anyway, so. Thought I'd close out the year with a bang."

"You've seriously never considered doing anything halfway in your life, have you, Munson?" Steve asks, giving Eddie's shoulder an almost exasperated nudge, smile fond in spite of himself.

"Absolutely not, Stevie boy. Life's too short. Where's the fun in playing it safe?"

Eddie swings into Steve's space, then, dark eyes sparkling. Goading and flirtatious. Just like when they were teenagers, thrown together in the worst of circumstances but making the best of it, before time and pain and trauma put all that distance between them.

And if Steve's eyes drop down to Eddie's lips as they share air, slow enough it can't be anything but deliberate, and their fingers brush just a tad too intimately the next time they trade the cigarette back and forth...well. They've got a lot of lost time--and shared smokes in school parking lots--to make up for.

#stranger things #steddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #my writing #my stuff #my things #i watched the end of season 2 for the umpteenth time this evening #remembered i always wanted a steddie scene parallel to the jopper smoking scene outside the snow ball #and then wrote this in a fevered haze over the past two hours #so apologies for any mistakes and messiness

Reconnecting with Nature:

One of the defining aspects of health and wellbeing retreats is their connection to the natural world. Nestled amidst breathtaking landscapes, these retreats provide a serene and picturesque setting that promotes a sense of calm and tranquility. Whether it's a retreat tucked away in a lush forest, overlooking a serene lake, or nestled among rolling hills, the beauty of nature serves as a backdrop for healing and rejuvenation. Guests can partake in activities like mindful walks, outdoor yoga sessions, and meditation amidst the tranquil surroundings, allowing them to reconnect with the healing energy of the earth.

Holistic Wellness Programs:

Health and wellbeing retreats offer a wide range of holistic wellness programs tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. These programs often include a combination of physical activities, such as yoga, Pilates, and hiking, to promote physical fitness and flexibility.

Retreats may also offer specialized workshops and classes focusing on nutrition, stress management, and self-care techniques, empowering guests to make positive changes in their daily lives. With skilled practitioners and experts guiding the way, participants can embark on a transformative journey towards holistic harmony.

Nutrition and Conscious Eating:

A crucial aspect of health and wellbeing retreats is the emphasis on nutrition and conscious eating. Retreats often provide delicious, nourishing meals made from locally sourced, organic ingredients. These meals are not only designed to satisfy the taste buds but also to provide essential nutrients that support optimal health. Guests have the opportunity to explore new flavors and learn about mindful eating practices that foster a deeper connection with their bodies and the food they consume. By nourishing the body with wholesome, nutritious meals, participants can experience increased energy levels, improved digestion, and a greater sense of overall well-being.

Rest and Rejuvenation:

Rest and rejuvenation are integral components of health and wellbeing retreats. These retreats offer luxurious accommodations, often with comfortable rooms, cozy beds, and peaceful surroundings that encourage deep relaxation. Spa facilities are frequently available, offering a range of rejuvenating treatments such as massages, facials, and hydrotherapy. These therapies aim to alleviate physical tension, promote detoxification, and enhance the body's natural healing mechanisms. Guests can indulge in much-needed rest, allowing their bodies and minds to recharge and find balance.

Personal Growth and Mindset Shifts:

Beyond physical relaxation and rejuvenation, health and wellbeing retreats offer opportunities for personal growth and mindset shifts. Through workshops, group activities, and one-on-one sessions, participants can explore self-discovery, gain insights into their emotions, and develop strategies for personal transformation. Retreats provide a supportive and nurturing environment for individuals to reflect on their life's purpose, set intentions, and cultivate positive habits that can be carried forward long after the retreat ends.

Conclusion:

Health and wellbeing retreats offer a sanctuary for individuals seeking to enhance their overall well-being and embrace a holistic approach to health. From reconnecting with nature and engaging in transformative wellness programs to nourishing the body with conscious eating and finding restorative rest, these retreats provide a comprehensive experience for self-discovery and personal growth.

"I didn't want you to see me like this."

@little-miss-losing-her-mind

Eddie hadn't seen Chrissy since that Friday night after the game. After what happened in his trailer. He'd managed to pull her back from the trance Vecna had her in but not before some bones had been snapped. Chrissy had been rushed to the hospital, Eddie had been arrested.

It was after Chrissy's testimony that he hadn't done anything to hurt her that he was released. The cops were still keeping an eye on him though. Pretty on brand. He was the son of a criminal, he was from Forest Hills Trailer park, he looked the way that he did and he'd been in trouble before. There was nothing to hold him but there was enough for the cops to keep an eye.

Chrissy had been moved from the regular hospital to a rehabilitation hospital. Eddie didn't know the details of it all but there surgeries involved to fix her bones. He didn't know if this meant she couldn't walk, or she couldn't dance or if this was rehabilitation therapy so she could write again. Guess he would find out, right?

He showed up in her room just as she was doing her physical therapy with a nurse. He was holding a rainbow bouquet of tulips and a Get Well Soon card.

"You look great."

Biography

Like most capricorns, Enver is passionate, hellishly independent, and driven. He has an opinion on anything and everything, thinks that being socially educated is more important than being academically smart. He values trust, personal space, and respect. In fact, he outright expects it from the people closest to him and not. Sometimes, it can bring him to his own detriment.

He’s not quick to anger most of the time but there are certain subjects and situations that make him anger quickly. Injustice, specifically racial, religious, and regarding sexual orientation, are three of the most important to him. He’s not afraid to call out anti-science, racism, homophobia, transphobia, or sexism.

There is a soft and goofy side to him with the right people. He likes being with nature more so than being around people but you’ll know if you’re his kind of person by his reaction to you. Even though he’s offstandish until he gets comfortable with a person, he can have a conversation with just about anybody and chooses to be respectful and out-going if somebody starts a conversation with him.

His dream was always to live in the middle of the woods in an eco-friendly cabin, to spend his days in the forests or on the beach. He doesn’t like technology unless it enhances the lives of the people around him. For that reason, you won’t find Enver on social media unless it’s instagram (because he likes photography too much to keep it private). He’s the type of guy that has to remind himself to take his phone with him when he leaves the house and leaves it in the kitchen at night.

In terms of plots, family members (sisters), ex-partners, good friends, somebody who can talk spirituality with him for hours, hiking buddies, etc.

TWS: Family/Sibling Death, Grief, Therapy, Manipulation & Car Accidents. Born and raised in Austin, Texas to a middle-class family, Enver grew up in a gentle and happy household as the oldest of four. There weren’t many things that he felt that he could complain about growing up; he had a best friend in his twin brother, in their younger sisters, there was always food on the table, they never went without water or heat in the colder months. His parents were emotionally available, focused on raising their children in a way they saw to be correct, and almost never raised their voices at them unless they had done something that could’ve impacted their lives or others in a negative fashion. The patriarch of the family, Aslan was a Turkish-born man with piercing eyes and a charming air about him that drew many people toward him. He had always planned on marrying and living the rest of his life in Turkey but a job opportunity when he was in his early twenties brought him to the United States where he met the woman that would turn his life upside down and all around. Pinar, the matriarch, wasn’t what he’d had in mind when he’d pictured his future wife. She was passionate, fiercely independent, opinionated, and highly educated. It wasn’t that he had wanted a woman whose only goal was to become a mother and a wife, it was simply that she held the perfect mixture of wife material and boss energy that he’d craved since he’d started dating in his late teens. She could tell him where to go but be gentle about how he could get there. She was gentle and nurturing while also being unafraid to tell him when he’d pushed all of her buttons. They were all things that their future children would thankfully inherit from her instead of him. They went on to have four of them, children. Two sets of fraternal twins, six years apart and in the end, although they had gone through a rough patch after their first set was born, they stayed married until an accident that killed one of their oldest tore them apart. Enver supposed that that was where his story both began and ended but the truth was that it had started with his first day of middle school and a blue eyed, blonde haired boy smiling at him.Wesley Kennedy was that boy. They became fast friends, wanted to spend all of their time together, and eventually their relationship blossomed into what Wesley believed was a brotherhood. Unfortunately for Enver though, his affections for Wesley weren’t simply familial; they were romantic. This realisation came in their second year of high school when Enver found himself exploring a world that was so new to him that he hadn’t been able to match a word to what he’d been feeling until his second year of college. It shook him up, made him fall into depression, but what was worse was that when they were seniors, Wesley had been in the car that killed the single-handedly most important person to him; his twin brother. He hated him so much after that that he forgot about any pleasant emotions that he’d felt for him. Their brotherhood was broken by the death of his blood and Enver isolated himself in such a manner that his parents weren’t sure how to handle it all. Pinar and Aslan, with the loss of one of their children, split a couple of years after when the grief had just become too much for either of them to handle. And it slowly felt to a young Enver that his entire world was falling to pieces. While it got better, Enver carried around the emptiness inside of him for a long time. It was hard for him to understand how one moment he’d been on the top of the world and the next he’d sunk to the pits of Hell without any prior warning. He started and finished university, went on to law school, got an internship and then became partner, all while his brother’s memory haunted him. There had always been a nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach told him that the emptiness that he wasn’t feeling wasn’t always the loss of his blood brother but sometimes, it was the loss of his chosen brother too. The day that he started therapy was the best day of his life. He learned a lot about himself, about his wants and desires, about how to reconcile his sexual orientation with his religious beliefs; more importantly, he realised that he’d been punishing Wesley for something that he hadn’t done intentionally when they’d been too young to know any better. Enver made peace with it even though something still nagged at him about it and tried to rekindle his friendship with the other man. Enver thought it would be easy to do but he’d been wrong. Wesley was hard to read but Envver was good at reading people. It triggered his best friend, the intensity that he’d grown into as a man, the way that he could quell his fears enough to touch his vulnerability without a word or warning, and because of that Wesley wouldn’t often look him in the eyes. Enver found himself putting his own assumptions and emotions on his best friend as if trying to manipulate him into becoming the person that he thought he was underneath it all. So he distanced himself again, settled imaginary boundaries between them that it took everything in him to keep up, and stayed as far away physically as he could. However, as if the universe had been giving him the signs all along, he’d been offered a job at one of the best medical firms in the United States; it only happened that it had been in Providence Peak, the same place where his best friend currently resided. So much for physical distance.

Currently

He just started working at one of the country’s top medical law firm in Providence Peak so he’s been in town for less than a month.

After leaving his (ex) boyfriend, Danny, on weird terms, he’s still not sure if they’re together or broken up but the fact that Danny didn’t follow him to Providence Peak is starting to sober him up to the fact that they were in an unhealthy tug of war between what direction they both wanted their relationship to go in. Danny was irritated that Enver always chose being close to Wesley than being close to him or moving their relationship forward together.

Enver is trying to settle into a new routine but is having a difficult time figuring out if he should let himself be or keep up the persona that he’s kept for so long.

His relationship with his mother is strained due to him coming out to her for Danny’s satisfaction but it’s not hostile, merely different for the time being. Nobody else in his family knows that he’s gay.

Connections

Ex-boyfriend(s) - Enver would never allow these people to get too close to him out of fear for his spirituality. That doesn’t mean that he never loved him or allowed them to be emotionally intimate with him, he simply seemed distant in a way that none of them could do anything to close.

Friends

Hiking Buddies

Neighbours

Co-workers (other lawyers, doctors, nurses, paramedics, etc)

Fellow Animal Enthusiasts

Connections through @wesxkennedy

What kind of clothes is your oc most comfortable wearing?

Thank you for the ask! I've got a kind of mini-obsession with OC fashion going on right now, so I'm really excited to answer! I'm going to focus on Safi for this one, because she's the one I'm currently playing the most Space Barbie with.

Safi's been with the Jedi almost her entire life--seriously, they took her in when she was 3 days old--so their approach to clothing heavily influenced her style and what she's comfortable with. She grew up in an enclave on Tiisheraan, which (in my headcanon) is very similar to Odessen geography-wise: lots of hills, forests, lakes and rivers, etc. It has a relatively mild climate and experiences seasons, but no real extremes in either direction. Due to their environment, the Masters at the enclave would wear clothes that were easy to move around in--comfortable pants and shirts (thicker and long-sleeved for colder months, lighter and short sleeved when it was warm), with boots or the Star Wars equivalent of tennis shoes for their feet. Weather-appropriate accessories, such as coats or hats, were worn as needed. When indoors, some would don the traditional Jedi robe, but many eschewed it entirely, following the example of Master Elisavhette, who ran the enclave and did not have either the time or patience to put one on.

Based on these early examples, and what she wore as a child when her clothes were chosen for her, Safi pretty much sticks to the pattern of well-made, simple, and practical. She prefers leggings and athletic pants to more structured, less comfortable styles (and has several pairs of what she calls "fancy leggings" for occasions where regular ones wouldn't be appropriate, which are basically just thicker and look more like fitted dress pants, but are still easy to do a flip in if the occasion arises), but she's more versatile in her tops. She has a wide variety of tunics, tank tops, sweaters, and long and short sleeved t-shirts. She sticks mostly to solid colors or simple patterns, and steers clear of anything really elaborate or bold. For shoes she's usually in boots of some kind, although on her ship or in her quarters she pretty much just runs around in fuzzy socks.

Color-wise, she likes blues, greens, greys, and the occasional soft pink or purple. (I headcanon that the Jedi don't do the whole exclusively-brown-and-cream aesthetic because it's boring and I hate it.) Most of these are in muted or dark shades, but she does wear the occasional piece that stands out a bit more.

Speaking of comfort, I would be remiss if I didn't mention her mask. As Safi is only half Miralukan, she does have eyes, but she has very, very poor physical vision, so she relies on her Force vision, which thankfully is fine. As a child, she wore the mask to help her focus on improving her skills with her Force vision and to keep her from attempting to use physical vision in its place, and by the time she was a teenager it was mostly just a habit to wear it, combined with the fact that she did like having a piece of her Miralukan heritage. However, as events in her adulthood happen and she develops a raging case of CPTSD, the mask becomes very much a comfort thing for her. It acts as a sort of barrier between herself and everything and everyone else in the galaxy, and she feels extremely vulnerable without it. She takes it off to sleep, and bathe, and occasionally in front of people she trusts absolutely implicitly, but for the most part she's never without it. This does change as she starts to get Space Therapy and begins to heal, and eventually she gets to the point where she can be with or without it unless something really weird is going on.

Courtesy of Kira, she does have a "please don't immediately figure out we're Jedi" wardrobe. Most of the pieces in that collection were chosen by Kira with minimal input from Safi herself, but even though she rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath the whole time about people raised on backwater worlds who wouldn't know haute couture if it hit them in the face, Kira managed to put together a group of outfits that were acceptable to both her and Safi. Space jeans (and who am I kidding, probably jeggings), nice boots, pretty tops, and a special selection of jackets that are made to be worn over a lightsaber shoulder holster make up the majority of it, and although she was uncomfortable with a lot of it at first, she does eventually come to like some of it. She has a particular fondness for a leather jacket that she ends up wearing a lot (until she steals Theron's).

Of course, a huge portion of Safi's life is spent fighting, and so her armor is also a really big part of what she's comfortable in. In game terms, she's wearing the Satele Shan armor set dyed with the Coldweather dye module, and that's basically what her headcanon armor looks like too. Lightly armored leggings (she really can't get enough) and tunic, metal-plated boots, gloves, and bracers, and, of course, her lightsabers. If she's armored up, mask on, that's basically as confident as she ever feels (at least before the aforementioned Space Therapy).

Okay, I've probably gone way beyond the intended bounds of this question so I'm going to wrap up and, honestly, bless you if made it to the end.
