I'm a sucker for Steve proposes fics
But what if its been a year Steve and eddie have been dating. They have been really careful because they're scared understandably and the kids don't know. The only people who know are Robin and Wayne.
Then one day eddie walks into lunch and Robin screeches and starts saying things that no one else can understand and eddie is standing there blushing.
None of the party or hellfire can figure out what the fuck just happened.
What had happened was Robin had noticed a ring with black and red stones and not Eddie's normal style on his ring finger because even if they can't get married they can be engaged.
Another year passes the kids have finally stopped bothering Steve about dating somone and finally started asking Eddie about him dating somone. The second time it happens he's prepared he and Steve have talked and he's decided to be brace and test the waters. So when Dustin asks him why he never goes out with any girls he goes " well that would be kinda shitty of me to cheat on my fiance" and boy does that stop them all.
Then there's a large amount of screeching because Eddie what you don't even have a- oh wait I guess you do have a ring you just have so many it wasn't as obvious
And then he makes a comment about at least one person noticing and really it's been months guys
During this all I kinda see things processing
Dustin focuses on the engagement and him not saying anything.
Mike picks up on the fact that Eddie is gay and has a moment about that.
Will (who deserves to get to know and become fast freinds with Eddie) also has a moment but more about not being alone.
Lucas is not having a moment he is processing you can practically see the loading symbol above his head.
Erica is giving the most analyzing look known to man and it isn't till she actually looks at the ring more that she can scrape anything together about Eddie's guy
Max is also processing but she's also scheming
Eddie breaks the tension with something about wishing he could marry him now so that he could have seen the looks on their face realizing they got married
El ends up asking why they can't get married
At this point it's been at least a year and a half they mostly see the older kids for visits because they all got out of Hawkins as a group. They couldn't leave each other not long distance at least.
It drives the kids insane. Everytime they see eddie he tells them something about his fiance and none of the people guessing can figure it out slowly overtime they figure it out one by one
I'm gonna go ahead and say will is the first too and then Erica figures it out. People always have max be the most observant but I feel like Lucas could figure out via basket ball game with Steve when just he and eddie visit because Robin has a test coming up and he sees a hicky on Steve when the only one with him was Eddie (Lucas loses that game because he got distracted by it) then max because there's no way she doesn't notice before Mike and Dustin and honestly I think El just picked it up but never said anything because she wouldn't think there was anything to be said so no one knows how long she's know.
The other thing that would be funny (but also sad) is if Steve proposed Robin reacted and no one put it together until the year they can actually get married when the go to the court house with Robin get married take some photos and then show up at the next upside-down survivors reunion Steve wearing a new ring getting mobbed and when asked who he got married to he says " my fiance of 17 years who else" and Eddie calls back " love you too sweetheart" from across the room and then Robin offers photos
(I do think that if they saw one of the kids struggling they would come out to them so maybe will knows and will was also at the courthouse)
I just think the dynamic is interesting and has potential for both hurt, fluff and humor and that is my jam

once again thinking about how so much of s6 liam and theo’s relationship is about theo choosing to do the dirty work so liam doesn’t have to. he went from trying to harness liam’s anger for his own gain to trying to help him get it under control— and even in triggers when he does intentionally piss liam off so they can fight to cause a distraction, he keeps liam from killing nolan right after. he tries to comfort liam (in his own Extremely Emotionally Stunted way) during the car ride home by pointing out how hard he tried to avoid hurting him. he does it again in the locker room, telling liam he’s making progress by not killing gabe— right before stepping forward and smashing gabe’s face right back into that mirror for himself to get the information they need. theo throws himself at the ghost riders as bait because he knows liam, despite his harsh promises, is too good of a person to do it himself. he pulls liam into the sheriff station bathroom and reality checks him about saving his friends and himself (also in the most Emotionally Stunted way possible) because he knows liam is sometimes blinded by his own idealism. he pushes liam ahead of him at the hospital and takes bullets meant for them both.
for someone who claims to relish in his own selfishness, theo time and time again shows that he’d rather get blood on his hands as long as it keeps liam from having to get it on himself.

thanks!! I'll do this for both my inquisitors // questions for your inquisitor
4: Alliance with the Mages or the Templars? Explain why.
VESPER — conscripted the templars. as she understood things, they needed something to stop the breech but they also needed some way to stop the fighting, and in her eyes the fighting was the greater danger. conscript the templars and suddenly the inquisition has the men and forces to pause the conflict, to take stock, to see the mages safely out of redcliffe. funny thing about fighting someone with time magic: even before you begin, you're too late
NARAYANI — allied with the mages. fiona came personally to val royeaux to ask her to come to redcliffe, and narayani has always been sensitive to the plight of other people the chantry sees as lesser. she's a big mage's rights activist in that specific way of people who don't know what it's like in the circles. and no way in hell was she going to make them bend the knee, so alliance it was. (the way the inner circle reacted to that choice didn't endear her to most of them).
18: What does your Inquisitor think about “the Game”? Would they participate in it? Did they enjoy the time at the Winter Palace?
VESPER — her mother was orlesian and her eldest sister married an orlesian so she had some understanding of the viper's nest of orlesian politics. she despises it, but once you get past the murder and whatnot it's alarmingly similar to navigating the college factions in the circles, which is a comparison she's sure would have plenty turning in their graves. still, she has no desire to participate in the game and did not enjoy being at the winter palace, feeling like a bug under a hundred spyglasses
NARAYANI — hates it. hates the game hates the shem hates the pretense hates how openly they despise her. but their fear is useful, and if playing well can position her to make use of their fear and their power and their doubt, then she'll grit her teeth and bear the insults and play the long game to crush them under her heel.
22: Which person did they involve themselves with and what drew them to that particular person? Did they go through a change of heart or did they remain at the person’s side?
VESPER — cullen! it was an incredibly slow burn of restrained coworkership to tired camaraderie to mutual respect to liking to trust to friendship to understanding to support to more. vesper liked his sense of humor and how much he cared about people and how hard he tried to do and be better. they took a long time to figure their stuff out (idc about canon timelines; in vesper's worldstate it takes at least 2 years to get through the main game) but they were solidly in each other's corner by the time they put a label on their relationship and really went for it
NARAYANI — solas. at first it was just enjoying the company of someone she felt she could speak to without judgement. and she liked his stories—she's always been the sort to fly far from the fold and he had the same curiosity about the world. she liked his sense of humor too, and the sly observation's he'd make about their companions—it felt a little like being in on a joke, all the time. and he clearly liked her back; he could hardly hide it. she didn't realize how far in they were until it was much too late, but she liked how deep they were, how much he cared, how much he wanted—enough to overcome his own wariness. it felt so so nice to be wanted for herself in the middle of a world that wanted her to be someone—something—else. she'd have stuck with him through anything. if she finds him again.... well, jury's out. she still might. hard to say what she'll have left in the world that's worth saving. she doesn't get with anyone else after the breakup
45: Herb Garden or Chantry Garden? Templar Tower or Mage Tower? Infirmary or Practice Ground?
VESPER — herb garden, mage tower, infirmary
NARAYANI — herb garden, mage tower, practice ground
