#but I dont think steve would let people get away with telling him how he feels
Text
In the 19 years Steve's lived in this house, never once has he slammed his front door like that. Too scared of his parents' wrath should it have caused any damage.
It feels good.
He almost turns around to do it again, a fuck you to his parents and every decision they ever forced on him, but then he remembers. They're all in there. Nancy, Jonathan, Argyle, Eddie, Robin. In his living room, making declarations and decisions about Steve's life for him. Or, well, one of them is.
Like his parents do. Did?
He didn't grab his keys, wallet, or even his coat, but he's not going back for them. It's cold, sure, but Steve's sure his anger will keep him warm until he reaches a destination. Any destination.
He just doesn't understand why- Why they keep doing this to him.
Why he keeps letting them.
No. No, that's a lie. He keeps letting them because he knows, deep down, he's not a fighter. Not for himself.
He'll put himself between the ones he loves and danger in a heartbeat; he's done that since the first time he watched a petal-faced monster peel its way out of the Byers' wall in '83.
But his parents trained the fight right out of him when it came to himself. It was easier to not argue, to just do what they wanted. They'd smile at him when he was good. They'd take him with on shorter business trips when he behaved. His mom would even allow a quick hug if he impressed a shareholder with how well-mannered and quiet he was.
He won their affections with obedience.
He's never- Nancy and he love each other now, but in the same way they all love each other after having survived the horrors the Upside Down. But Nancy never loved him the way he'd once loved her. That was bullshit.
Even Robin and Dustin. He knows they love him now. Will love him forever, going forward, but both had admitted to having a predetermined idea of who Steve was and what he was like and they weren't wrong but they also weren't right because Steve's never been Steve a goddamn day in his life.
Steve hadn't even known Steve until monsters came into his life.
The way everyone used to refer to him as the Steve Harrington was a judgement all its own. A thing that he was, and had no say to be otherwise.
Even Eddie, in the Upside Down, and now, in his own house.
Steve finally feels like he might be becoming who he really is and he's surrounded by friends and it just made him stupid. He'd thought it was confidence, when he pulled Eddie aside to talk, to confess, but then-
Eddie telling him he's confused. Like Steve is a child learning new concepts and not an adult who has been questioning how he feels about men since he first noticed other boys in middle school.
Eddie telling him, 'you don't want this, man. Not really.'
It's not fair.
Robin came out to him, and he'd just wanted to make her laugh so she would quit looking so scared. Eddie came out to him, and Steve had thanked him for trusting him. Jonathan, Nancy, and Argyle confess to all dating each other and Steve congratulated them. But Steve comes out and gets told he's confused?
And Steve didn't even refute it. Just got so hurt he couldn't be there anymore. Left his own house because he'd told Eddie he had a crush on him, and asked if he'd like to go on a date sometime and Eddie said no and told him he was confused.
Eddie doesn't get to decide that for Steve! No one but himself can decide if he like guys or not. No one gets to tell him he's confused about what he's feeling.
It's- that's bullshit, is what it is!
Steve turns on his heel and marches back to his house. His hurt has fully morphed to anger now.
Steve hasn't run away from a fight since '83, and he's not going to start now.
He rips his front door open and is greeted to everyone just inside the door, in various states of putting their winter clothes back on. All the faces look concerned, but he scans for Eddie's.
Eddie who looks relieved for all of two seconds, when it seems to dawn on him that Steve is angry, and it's directed at him.
"The appropriate response," Steve growls as he steps through his door and punctuates those words by slamming it shut again. (It's not as satisfying this time, because he sees how it makes his friends jump.) He barrels on with his words, eyes never leaving Eddie, "when someone comes out to you, is to say 'thanks for telling me' or perhaps even 'thanks for trusting me' or, if one is so inclined, to just say 'cool, dude' but you don't get- you don't get to tell me I'm confused!"
Eddie takes a step back, knocking directly in Argyle, who steadies him, but he doesn't say anything.
Maybe Steve should be more calm about this, given the audience, but he's not able to stop the words now that they've started. "I'm not confused, and I know exactly what I'd be getting into. You don't get to- to try and make your rejection my fault. If you don't wanna date me, just say so. But you don't get to try and tell me how I feel about you!"
From the corner of his eye, he can see Nancy trying to subtly shift herself and Jonathan away from the door, probably to get out of what really should be a private conversation, but Jonathan's a bit preoccupied by catching Robin around the waist as she lunges towards Eddie.
"What the fuck did you say, Munson!" Robin growls, arms swinging out like she's going to claw Eddie to death.
Argyle has inched back a bit, putting distance between him and Eddie in case Robin breaks free. "You dudes should probably talk this out in private."
"Byers, if you don't let me go right now-"
"Robbie, I got this," Steve says, because Robin shouldn't be turning on Jonathan when he's done nothing wrong. Robin continues to glare at Eddie for a few seconds before she makes eyes contact with Steve. He raises his brows slight -I got this- and she furrows hers -are you sure?-, so he tilts his head -yes, really- and she deflates in Jonathan's arms and allows him to drag her away.
"We'll just be in the rec room," Nancy says, looping her arm through Argyles and following after Jonathan.
Eddie doesn't bolt, which is a bit more than Steve expected. They both just stare at each other until they hear the click of the rec room door.
"Steve-"
"That was fucked up, Eddie," Steve interrupts.
"Yeah. It was," Eddie says, but doesn't offer up more, even though Steve is waiting for an apology.
"That kind of reaction is exactly why I didn't come out sooner. What would be the fucking point if no one even believed me? Or worse, if you'd given me that kind of reaction like, six months ago, I probably never admit to liking guys out loud ever again. You can't just- you can't decide this kind of shit for other people!"
"I know! I- I freaked out, and panicked, and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Steve," Eddie says, and he sounds sincere and looks almost fragile while saying it that Steve loses a bit of his steam. He doesn't want to just keep yelling at Eddie.
"Yeah. Well. Thanks for apologizing," Steve mutters, crossing his arms with a huff.
Eddie worries his bottom lip before he seems to gather all his courage and says, "have I fucked everything up between us?"
"No. Not- I'm going to, like, need some time to get over my crush, but no. It's- it'll just be take time-"
"No! I mean, I can't- if you don't, uh, like me like that anymore I get it, but I- what I meant was. Well. No, I guess that answered my question."
Steve is confused, now. For real, and not about his sexuality. "What?"
"What?"
"You did it again. Deciding for me if I liked you or not."
"Shit. Fuck! Sorry," Eddie drops his head into his hands and groans. "I'm fucking this up so bad."
"Than use, like, real, whole sentences and speak to me!"
"I like you!" Eddie blurts. "I have a crush on you, too, but I- I fucked it up!"
"Yeah. Kinda."
Eddie makes a really pathetic noise at that.
"Not so much we can't, like, figure it out, though," Steve offers. "Not, like, right now, because I'm hurt and angry, but like, I'm not going to stop liking you because of one fight. Not. Uh, not now that I know you like me, too."
"Oh," Eddie whispers, then frowns. "For real?"
Steve rolls his eyes. "I said it, didn't I?"
"Sorry, it's just, just good things don't happen to me. It's- I'm processing, okay."
Steve lets out a long-suffering sigh and heads towards the rec room. "If you want to leave to 'process' alone, I get it, but you're welcome to stay. We can get this party re-started and hang out."
Eddie's silent a moment, and Steve thinks he's going to ask if Steve's sure, but instead he gets a quiet, "yeah. I'd like to stay." and the sound of Eddie's footsteps following him to the rec room.

Lyrics
Mafia boss Bucky x singer! Reader
Sum- you and Bucky had been together for 3 years before he left, he had even put a ring on your finger. You never knew why he left but it broke you to peices. One day he comes to the club you sing at and you change the song to show him how much your hurting.
Warning- mention of breakup, cussing, sad ending (if you want a good ending ask for it. For now you get to cry.) mention of guns, vehicle destruction.
This is part 1
Part 2 ‘letter’
Part 3 ‘love’
I’d rather go blind by Beyoncé (Etta james)
Tumblr media
Bucky walks in a few of his body guards following close behind.
“Bucky!” Steve calls from the other side of the room. He walks over giving his friend a hug smiling.
“How have you been.?” He asks
“Im alright you?” Bucky asks
“Yeah I’m good, hey I gotta treat for you tonight we hired this girl a few months back she’s got an amazing voice. Her name is pudding she’s fucking incredible.” Steve says.
Bucky chuckles
“You got strippers too now?” He asks Stevelaughs
“That’s next week pal” he says other people begin to gather in and pretty soon the show begins to start the lights dim and music begins to play.
Bucky takes his seat in the middle table around the best row. Buckys ear perk as the steady melody hits his heart the familiar music. The curtain opens revealing you.
Bucky sits up his eyes widening. You seem to notice him and sigh rolling your eyes you walk off to the side as the music cuts you walk back in the stage and a different song plays. Bucky frowns confused if your okay. Seeing you in the beautiful skin right dress your make up done and hair falling down your back.
The music begins to play again but it’s a different song.
You begin to sing the song your wrote after Bucky had left you. The lyric hit his ears as he begins to realized just how much he hurt you. He didn’t get to tell you why, didn’t give a reason, didn’t leave a note, or a text, he left 1 million dollars in your bank account and you in the California king bed in his pent house that he’d left in your name.
Something told me it was over (Yeah)
When I saw you and her talking deep
Something deep down in my soul said cry girl (cry, cry)
When I saw you and that girl walking around whoo ooh
You remaine your glaze on him feeling tears begin to fall down your cheeks. Your voice becomes stronger as you sing about how he hurt you.
I would rather, I would rather go blind boy Then to see you walk away from me child naw naw whoo ooh
Bucky runs his fingers through his hair sighing as he ties it up in a bun, looking down not being able to bear your face now tear stained. He’d always promised you he’d never hurt you even though he left to keep you safe he needed you. When steve had asked him if he’s been alright that wasn’t the truth.
He left 6 months ago and hasn’t had a good night sleep since. He’s more hostile to his empylees and takes less bullshit than he did with you. You keep him sane, calm, loved…Happy.
So you see I love you so much that I don't wanna watch you leave me baby
Most of all I just don't
I just don't wanna be free now whoo ooh, Woo oh
Bucky feels a lump in his throat something he hasn’t felt since you had yes to marrying him the pure joy the engulfed him but now it was filled with sadness. Pain that he’d been hiding this entire time.
That ring still on your finger it glistens in the stage light. ‘Why do you still wear it if you’re so hurt?’ ‘why dont you look away from him?’ ‘do you still love him?”
I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking of your kiss, And your warm embrace yeah When a reflection in a glass that I held to my lips now baby Revealed these tears that are on my face whoo ooh
Bucky gets up from his seat sniffing before finishing the glass of bourbon steve so kindly placed in his hand. He takes on last look at you before walking off his body guards follow. He walks out of the club before letting out a yell not angry not to cause attention of pure pain pissed off at himself for not treating you right in the end you deserved a goodbye, a reason, you deserve better that too much money and shit memories.
And baby, and baby, baby I'd rather be blind boy
Then to see you walk away
Walk away from me yeah ”FUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!” Bucky yells kicking his car and breaks off the side mirror chucking it through the windshield. He punches the door of the car denting it in his metal arm making sparks fly before drawing his gun and shooting it until the ammo is out.
And baby, baby, baby I'd rather be blind boy
Then to see you walk away, Walk away from me
He falls to his knees beginning to sob. Still being able to hear your voice from outside the club as it dies down into Applause then default music begin to play.
Bucky pants sobbing into the black asphalt not even realizeing your steps up to him you kneel down in front of him. He looks up his hair disheveled falling out of the bun it was once tied up in a bun.
You see his tired face the stubble and bag under his eyes. His blue eyes darkened and red by the tears.
“Im sorry…im so so sorry.” His voice breaks.
You nod. Your eyebrows knit together. Tears stream down his face. You place you hand on his cheek he leans into it. Yo lean into him kissing his lips to which he immediately kisses you back.
Lips against his for a few more seconds before you pull away and looking into his eyes his gaze softening. You look down at you hand the ring glistening against your skin. You take it off and take his hand placing it in him palm.
“Y/n..” he begins.
“You left me…but you forgot this.” You say before getting up and walking back into the club. Bucky pleads out watching you walk away.

thinking thoughts about billys self medicating and about steve trying to get nancy to slow down at the party and how steve genuinely probably could have helped billy if given the chance (like i dont think its my harringrove riddled brain talking, i fr think steve would have helped)
Three times have I tried to answer this and I’ve written something and then tumblr shits itself and I lose so PLEASE let’s try this again.
What strikes about Steve is that he literally NEVER in the whole show tries to get Nancy to do anything like drink or smoke or whatever.
In season 1, he offers Nancy and Barb a beer, and that’s when Barb, feeling clearly left out, decides to try shotgunning, gets hurt, etc. after that, Steve doesn’t try to get her to drink or anything. He’s smoking nearly the whole time and doesn’t offer it to her or gets her to try it, anything.
He’s also very respectful of her sexual boundaries. In the studying scene, he starts pushing his luck by suggesting they strip study, and he does go for the buttons on her shirt when theyre kissing, but she pushes him away, and he goes. At his house, he turns around so she can change. Clearly, they’re in his room and he’s wanting something to happen, but he lets her make the decision. She tells him to turn around.
ANYWAY season 2. The whole reason he wants to go to the party is to be “stupid teenagers”. In that library scene, he doesn’t say, let’s get shitfaced ass drunk. He says he wants to go to a stupid party and wear the costumes they had worked on and dance and be stupid.
WE ALSO DONT SEE HIM DRINK AT THAT PARTY.
Nancy starts drinking and it’s very 10 Things I Hate About You and he is immediately on the question, because this isn’t like her.
He knows she’s only drinking because she’s upset, and he tries to get in between that, because he knows this is past her boundaries, even if she made the choice to do it on her own.
(She’s clearly interested in drinking and things bc if she weren’t, she would’ve told Murray to fuck off when he made her a drink later in the season)
Even in season3, we get the joke about marijuana, but we never see Steve in a scene where it’s even implied he’s high, unlike season 4 Jonathan, but I digress.
ANYWAY canon Steve isn’t really a substance user.
Now, Billy.
In season 2, he is smoking in all but two scenes. He’s drinking like mad at the party, but he’s also just fucking pounding a beer in the middle of the day on like a random Saturday. So, clearly his boundaries around substance are not as clear as Nancy’s. BUT it’s interesting to think about what those interactions could’ve looked like.
I think there is a certain level of substance use Billy would bring out in Steve. There is not a single doubt in my mind that Steve starts smoking again when he and Billy hang out more, even if he is only smoking occasionally. But, at Steve’s little season 1 party, he had five people there, and some beer. There was no hard liquor that we saw, and everyone was shown to only really have 1-2. They literally went to school the next morning. Like. These bitches were not guzzling hard alcohol.
Some of those behaviors would natural rub off on Billy. Having a beer while hanging out instead of something harder. Only having a few instead of a case. Eventually, he starts having them less frequently (read: stops drinking by himself midday while working out like a weirdo).
Steve’s biggest personality trait is how much he fucking cares.
Everything he’s ever done, is because he cares about Nancy, or Dustin, or Robin. Sometimes, in canon, we (myself SO included) inflate that a bit, but even bitchy season 1 breaking the camera Steve, did so because he cared about Nancy, and about the violating pictures of her that Jonathan took. Even the little moments of him giving Carol is meatloaf in season 1, because Tommy squished hers around, mans CARES.
So OF COURSE that care would extend to Billy. And sometimes, it’s more subtle. Sometimes he’s outright trying to pry a bottle out of Billy’s hand and telling him to tone it down. But it’s all because Steve’s Harrington’s #1 Thing is caring about people.

Returning the Stones
1-the goodbye
Just incase 18+ theres fludd angst mentions of kissing implied intimate tons of sweet kissing and tears. Comments likes ans reblogging apprexitaed. No permission to repost anywhere else or to translate or to use in any ai story generator to finish it
I stood there as steve got his last good wishes from his team mates. I stood back watching tears in my eyes. I knew he only had a certain amount and im thinking back to the cinversariin we had after it was decided hed be the onky to return them
Tumblr media
"Why do I feel like theres a but comming"
"There is" he took my hands, "sweeetheart even tho hank pym is back theres still that adjustment period everyone is going through and he csnt make more pym particles right now"
"Cant you wait? Time will always be there for you to return it?"
He took my palm, like he does when he's  nervous and subconsciouslybdraws the same patterns he always does when he looked down.
"Yes and no. You see the way that Strange explained it is that time will continue on  and yes and while we can wait the stones not being there is affecting us here and now as in the past they arent there.  I could wait but if simething happens," he swollows hard, "something to you. I cant lose you."
"Steve nothing is going to ha-"
"You dont know that!" Hw yells and i jumo back almsot in tears.
"Im sorry, I'm sorry I didnt mean to "
"Strange said something didnt he?"
Steve looked uo with tears in his eyes and nodded. 
"It doesn't mean it will but i can't bear the thought"
"And I can't live without"
"Neither can I, if Tony was here..."
"I know" I sob a bit  as he pulls me intk his chest and cries too "if tony easnt gone id kill him all iver again."
This garners a chuckle from Steve.
"She's your last stop isnt she?"
I looked up i could only see the side if his cheek really but it was like i could see him go pale.
Not for the reasons yoy think. When insaw in the care facility, i mean yiu saw her every time she didnt remeber me and she eas so ha-
"I know happy and thrilled and saying shes worry you didnt get to live a full happy life."
It hurt me too it was so sad seeing her, I mean seing anyone like that would be saddening. 
"I just want to tell her im ok and that I survived so she doesnt have those regrets and that...."
I pulled back a little and I whipesmone side of tears from my face and he whipped the other putting his hand on my chin and guiding it making sure I can't move away as he knows how scared and fearful i must me and he looked in my eyes .
"That l, I found the love of my life and I am so happy."
I let out a small chuckle with some tears.
"You know that right? That i love you. I love ypu more than anything. And ill always come back to you. Like a bad oenny you cant losemor that cat that never stopped following yoy home,"
On cue Midnight jumoed into our laps with a meow and using her head to burrow under steves tee for warmth like she always did garnering a laugh from both of us. I pulled away a but as steve took iut of hisnshirt and talked to her 
"Youll take care off mommy right?" 
"Take care of me why woukd she need to-" I statted bawling
"Oh honey no no no i didnt mean it oh no " he put Mid night down and grabbed me chuck and tight, so tiggt i almost coukdnt breathe. "Wrong words blvery wrong words. I meant if something haooened. Lets face it i don't have greay track records when it comes to saving the world. The first time i dissapeared for decades and I don't want that to happen my last time but im afraid of tha-"
"Last time?"
"Yea," he rubbed my arms comfortly "my last time, the world doesn need me not as much as you do. And i want to give thst life yoy want because i want it too. I see the longing in your eyes when yoy see a young couoke and a baby and i have the same in mine that wishing hoping dreaming. During these five years people havent needed me and ive been wnlanting to give it uo for a while now justtrying to figure out the best way to do it and yiu know ive been slowly limiting my cap duties."
I know,
I know yiu do. So after this i want to give you that. That family a real family a couoke of mini us's." He interlocked our fingers wispering "I hope to God they look like you".
I chuckled. "Once I return the stones uts you and me babe every day forever no interruptions. Ill be in that bed every day yoy wake uo and every night you go to sleep. Ill hold yiu hair back wvery morning sickness and yoy can try and break a finger or two or try to lift molojiner when youre giving birth."
That made me laugh
"Ill hadle the night and change every littke poopy diaper and we'll hold them together wheh they get thier shots and bad dreams. Ill help you kiss thier boo boos and scare away boyfriends"
Got thiee whole lives planned out hu?
Yiu betcha dolls and when they get marriednand have little ones of thier own ill hug them and then beat uo their husbands for doing thst my little girls "
Tumblr media
I cracked up.
"Hey I will unless its done by oamossis no one is touching my daughters."
"You are too much"
He kisses my fore head and puts hair behind my ears,
"Yea well. Only the best for my family and if best means that i have to beat up thier husbands to out then in thier place so be it"
He rubbed my wedding band and engagement ring as we calmed down for a moment of silence. 
You know I would never give you either of these if my heart bekonged to someone else, in another time or place. This wasnt because i was never, " he losed his eyes and sighhned then ooened them stuck here. I was here to find you. I felt more for you then I did her even at first look - i almost proposed."
I know  i rememeber yoy did not try and cover well for that *i laughed*
"I tried"
"Yea so badly' I laughed and  ran my fingers through his hair.
"I grew it out for you, ya know"
"I know. I cant wait to see how blonde it was from when it was in the early days of the avengers"
He chuckled. 
"I love you," he wispered and kissed the bridge of my noise 
"I love you," he wispered  and and kissed my upper cheek.
"I love you," he wispered and kissed my lower cheek
"I love you," he wispered ad kissed the other cheek 
"I love you," he wispered and kissed my other cheek bone.
"I love you," he wispered and kissed my fore head.
"I love you," he wispered and kissed fhe right side of my upper neck.
"I love you," he wispered and kissed my lips.
"I love you," he wispered and kissed the left side of my upper neck.
"I love you," he wispered and kissed the middle of my neck.
"I love you," he wispered and kissed my lips so very deep that i almost lost my brrath. And that was how that night went. Him showing his love he knew he didnt have to prove it but he did he heled me and kissed me anddid everything he wanted to so to make sure he felt like he knew i knew he loved me and more. That was how last night went too. The last night before this trip. A trio that i knew would be mear seconds for me for for him it could be years. 
Then he walked over to me, he had tears in his eyes. Hia other team mates offered to come to help only ateve, i bruce and hank pim knew that wasnt possible. 6 vials. He had 6 and that was all. I was praying of somethin did go grong that last jump hed be able to grab more particles and get back to me. I also knew about the contingency they set up the older face the extra shield, just in case. So many just in cases. It meant to be steves way of dissapearing so we could live aort of loke clint and tony away from the spotlight and danger. 
He hugged me again, wispering in my eqr Ill be back in seconds my love and i love you so much," i felt a tear fall from his face onto mine
"Itll be only minutes babe, 60 minutes the most and youll be back in my arms." I gave him reassurance
"I  hope it works out like that nur every monute ill be thinking about getting back to you,"
He hugged me tightly. "I love you. And those seconds that pass here i told bucky to not let go of your hand,"
I chuckled.
"I know you. You need a hand and he wont let go. But if you two kiss i will kill him"
I laughed what?
"I just wanted to see that smile before i go"
Get your ass back here and ill give yku something to smile about tonight.
Oh is that a threat 
"Oh no that promise," I smiled wrapping my arms around his neck and we looked into eachothers eyes and then he kissed me. 
"This ring isnt leaving this chain and this chain isnt leaving my body"
"I know" 
He took my hand as he walked up to the platform and I followed. He took his stance snd gave me one of the deepest longest kisses hes ever given me. 
"I love you dont forget im waiting right here no matter what you do to retrurn those im here loving you forever. "
"I know I promise ill come back no matrer what i love you too much." 
Steve gave me one last kiss on my lips and then a kiss behind me ear making me giggle 
"I needed to see and hear that one last time."
I felt bucky take my hand and lead me down the strairs steves and my eyes never leaving eachother's. He looked at me as he put the helmet on  and I squeezed Bucky's hand as Steve lifted his hand to presse rhe vutton and bucky squeezed mine as Steve dissapeared.
After 45 seconds my hand let go of Bucky's  but Bucky bevee ler go of mine.

So I dont know about y’all but Eddie isn’t dead to me.
He got out of the upside down, he got his name cleared somehow, he walked that stage got his diploma and “ran like hell outta there” and him and his uncle now live in another place. He still plays with his band all the time, he still joins the boys for there campaigns at the school even though he doesn’t go there anymore, he starts to become a big part of the gang and there all friends now.
Edward Munson gets his happy ending not because I said so, but because he deserved it after everything that town put him through. Because I’m tired of people who are different getting killed off just because well.. there different.
Barb was weird, and only had like one friend she was an outcast, bob was bullied and had no friends he was an outcast, Fred was a bit weird and seemed to only have a few friends and one of them being dead. And Eddie the metal-head, rock-loving weirdo was the biggest outcast of them all and he died why?
Because he was different, he didn’t need to die he could of lived, I’ll never understand why they sacrificed him and he was perceived as a coward/no hero, when he was just as willing to do the things Steve, Robin or Nancy would do. And why was he a coward, because he ran from Chrissy’s death? Like any other normal person.
And they all went on like nothing happened two days ago. Like he wasn’t a living human being, like he didn’t have his own hopes and dreams. It was just so simple to let him live. Like he just wanted to listen to Black Sabbath and his other music on the way to school and dress in cool clothes without anyone judging him, he wanted to “snatch that diploma and run like hell outta there”. He wanted to play in his band in his free time and get lost in the music and he wanted to play D&D with the boys just to escape reality for a bit because we all know how shitty it can be at times.
He might just be a show character but to them he was alive, and he was real, and to me he was real as well, because I felt like I belong with him like if a took a sit at his table he wouldn’t shun me away he’d welcome me in instead and he’d embrace my differences. he made me realize it’s ok to be weird and different, it’s ok if you talk to much and people don’t understand you sometimes. It’s ok if you struggle at school because of your ADHD or your learning disabilities or just because school is hard it’s ok to be different with him because he’s different to. He has had such an impact on my life one I didn’t think he would, so in the end It’s like his death meant nothing to them, once they got what they wanted out of him they just didn’t care anymore.
But I know I would care… just like so many other would too. If it was me I wouldn’t stop looking for the guy who let me sit at his table because I had no one else to eat with, if it was me I’d advocate for him ever single damn day, because he might talk a big game but he’d never hurt anyone on purpose, especially the way Chrissy died. If it was me I’d mount his death like no other telling everyone the truth of what he was really like. Because the boy with the childish grin and baby brown eyes who’d give you the shirt off his back just to see you smile, didn’t deserve to die a for a town who never saw him as anything more than a freak and now a monster.
Anyways, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk y’all. This is just how I feel about Stranger Things as a whole I feel like more outcast/different people die then any one else. Chrissy died and she was popular but we all know she would fit right in with Eddie and the gang, Jason died because he’s an asshole and deserved it and Billy died to further the plot for Max. Honestly no surprises if they kill off Will or El, next season because there different. Or maybe not since they’re scared to kill off the main group people, I think they even probably felt like they pushed it far this season with Max. 🤦🏻‍♀️
In conclusion, Eddie didn’t deserve to go out that way or at all. He deserved the whole damn world and I’m so fucking sad I couldn’t give it to him!! Eddie Munson I’m so sorry the Duffers did you so dirty!! 😖

"So does Friday work for you?" 
The question stuns you for a moment and all eyes are on the two of you. You knew this was just supposed to be a fun outing between two friends, but with the stares from your friends around the lunch table there's a heavy pressure on your shoulders. It was like the others' thoughts were being broadcast directly to you.
Had The Steve Harrington just asked Y/N out?
The silence took more than a few seconds and quickly Steve was backtracking.
"I mean if not then it's perfectly okay, I just know there's a new scary movie playing at the drive in and we could go see it and–" 
"Friday's fine!" You reply quickly, trying to fight down the nerves threatening to spill over. If you had waited a single second longer, surely you would have panicked. Steve can't help but cheese happily, the warmth almost radiating off of him as he tells you he'll be there to get you at seven sharp so you guys can get the best spot. 
Sneaking around is infinitely harder than you first thought it would be. The thoughts plague you as you trudge down the side of the road, avoiding the busy after school traffic. 
"It's stupid I know, but trust me it'll just be easier if they dont see us together.." Billy assured you that he would find a way to keep the jocks off your back, so long as they didn't have to know about.. Whatever you could call the secret meetings between the two of you. Mostly consisting of him smoking like a freight train while you tried to work on your homework, but occasionally he managed to pry the books away from you.
That's how you found yourself now, books confiscated to force you to focus on him. 
"You're such a stick in the mud, y/n.. Leave the homework for home and have fun, it won't kill you. Do you need a drag?" He sighs, offering the half gone cigarette to you. 
"I don't smoke unless it's been a rough night.. Though I am stuck to this uncomfortable leather seat so.." 
He only rolls his eyes before shrugging, continuing to puff away then discarding the used butt out the window.
"Billy… Why are we doing this? We never hung out before and you hated me.. What changed other than.. well that.." You didn't mean to sour the mood, but you couldn't help it. It was so out of the realm of possibility that you'd be sitting here beside Billy Hargrove of all people. 
"Do I bore you?"
"That's not what I–"
"I know, dumbass.. But.. I don't know.. It's comfortable to me.. I don't have to.. Pretend or put on a show, I can just breathe,"
There's a moment of silence as you take in what Billy said to you. You, of all people, made him feel like he could just be even though you were here constantly waiting for a punchline. Tommy to pop out of one of the bushes surrounding the lake and the joke to be over. But Billy wouldn't say something like that if he truly wanted to hurt you would he?
"Get out of your head, y/n. I know that look too well," he huffs, mushing your face gently before continuing, "so I was thinking.. Let's go somewhere this weekend, since your dad is out of town and all. We can make a day trip of it, I'm not even watching the brat on Saturday." 
You know he means Max and you want to ask how he got so lucky but you figure it's safer to just err on the side of caution. 
"Depends, do I get to pick the place?" You quip back, looking out the windshield at the lake in front of you, almost ashamed of how excited you are at the idea of another moment like the last time you went out of Hawkins with Billy. He only laughs softly in return.
"Absolutely not, but you can pick the music." 
Friday couldn't come fast enough and now that it was here, you regretted ever saying yes to either boy. No matter what you did, you were absolutely preoccupied by the anticipation the weekend brought. You tried to calm your nerves, reminding yourself that it was just a horror movie with a friend, but a part of you couldn't stop putting a soft spin on every interaction you had ever had with Steve. Then when you opened the door to see him with a sweet smile, holding a bouquet of daisies, you knew you were too far gone. 
"If this is a date… Should I change into something nicer?" You mumble after thanking him for such beautiful flowers, but he adamantly refuses. 
"I don't want you wearing anything that makes you less than comfortable! You don't even have to think of it as a date if you don't wanna!" He assures you, resting a hand on your back as he leads you to his car. But when he opens the door for you and waits for you to get in before gently closing it, you realize how used to this you could be.
The comfortable silence made its return as Steve drove to the lot, and then you realized what Billy's words meant. I can just breathe.. There's no pressure to speak, no feeling of danger. Stealing a glance over at him, you take in his profile, hoping he doesn't notice your eyes tracing along the soft features. 
"Something on my face?" He chuckles softly, not bothering to face you. Giving a soft shake of your head, you focus back forward, a little embarrassed.
"Front or back?" Steve asks, rolling his head over to you as you both wait in line, the cars trickling along slowly. 
"Hmmm.. Back," you say with a soft smile and it seems to be the right answer as he smiles even more, nodding in agreement. Once the car is parked, he unbuckles his seat belt and settles a bit more comfortably into his chair. 
"Oh! I brought snacks!" He laughs as he reaches into the backseat, pulling up a couple of boxes of candy and offering them to you. "I like both of these so you pick one."
The movie becomes an afterthought before it even begins as Steve eases you into a casual conversation. You almost can't believe how easy it was to talk to him about anything, telling him about your mother leaving and your dreams of graduating and leaving Hawkins, and he even confides in you about his failed relationship with Nancy.
"God.. This is a really horrible first date conversation isn't it?" He laughs, hiding his face in his hands. 
"No, no.. I mean maybe if it was a normal first date but.. I don't think it's weird for me," you admit, ears burning hot at his obvious admission that he thought of this as a date. 
"So you are thinking of this as a date?" He asks brightly, not giving you a chance to refute it. 
"That's it Steve, I'm watching the movie, no more talking," you scoff, stuffing a handful of candy into your mouth as he laughs loudly. 
"The end was kind of shit wasn't it?" He groans as he's driving you back home, a dull beat playing over the radio.
"I mean maybe, but you can't expect the killer to get away clean, can you?" 
"Uhm have you seen any other horror movie? The killer always gets back up and is fine.." 
"Cut me some slack, I don't watch movies often.." You admit softly, Steve instantly shooting you a look as he quickly mutters,
"No shit? We gotta change that. When are you free next?" 
"Are you asking me on a second date already, Steve?" You ask as he parks by your trailer and the boldness seems to take him by surprise. He doesn't wait long however before grabbing your hand in his gently, his eyes quickly finding yours earnestly.
"If I am?.. Do you wanna pick the place?" 
Steve's words send a pang of pain through your heart for a moment as you think of Billy, but the feeling of his soft fingers brushing against the skin on the back of your hand is intoxicating to all of your senses.
"Y..yeah.. We can just.. Rent some movies? I wanna see your favorites."
He grins and nods excitedly, letting go of you to let you leave. He calls out a soft "I'll call you," before you shut the door and head inside, emotions still spinning. 
You weren't given a chance to breathe this time though, because as soon as you closed the door you're greeted by a pair of teary blue eyes. 
"Shhhh.. Don't get scared, it's just me.. I didn't have anywhere else to go," Billy mumbles as he rests a hand on your arm. He's disheveled, hair messy and his lip is bloodied, it's almost like a completely different person was standing in front of you. 
"Billy, Jesus Christ! What happ–" You stop yourself, already knowing the answer when his eyes tear up again, so you decide to just grab his hand instead, leading him to the bathroom. "Sit.." He doesn't put up any fight and sits on the closed toilet seat, uncharacteristically quiet as you dig for the first aid kit. Working quickly, you dab the alcohol pad on the cut, keeping the touch delicate as the sting would come anyway. He leans his head into the hand you have cupping his cheek, not caring that his tears are streaming into your palm. The blood has already dried so the cleaning is over easily, but you don't have the heart to move as Billy grips the sides of your shirt. 
Your hand stutters a bit but you slowly drag your fingers through his hair, causing him to lean forward and rest his forehead against you.
"Billy.." You start, unsure of how to continue so you caress his hair for a moment longer before deciding to avoid the obvious. "Did you eat today?" He shakes his head, still holding you tightly, but eventually looks up at you. Your eyes meet for a moment and he can't handle the soft and caring eyes looking down at him. He stands quickly, too quickly, but stops and hesitantly holds both of your cheeks in his rough hands. 
"You're too fucking good to me.." He mutters lowly, leaning down to press his lips against yours. Any thought is erased with the gentle pressure of his chest against yours as he presses you against the wall. "So soft and sweet.. never expecting anything from me," He's rambling between kisses and there's no urgency, just the light brushes of his lips on yours before he pulls away. 
"I wasn't lying though.. Can we eat?"

Mcdanno reunited
2 years after leaving Danny receives a phone call from Steve throwing his world into a spin once again. But it's Steve McGarrett, what else would he expect.
Chapter 1 - The Call
Danny Williams hated when people interrupted his sleep. Well the sleep that he did get, i mean after all that he has been through in his life there was no question to why he has sleepless nights. And tonight was not one of those nights. Tonight was a night where Charlie wasn't asking him to stay up playing games with him and Grace wasnt up late watching a tv show meaning he was able to go to sleep peacefully but then his god damn phone had to ring at 2 am. There wasnt many nights that Danny had been woken up to his phone in the middle of the night, not since Steve left.
After that Danny took some time off of Five 0, spend some time with the kids and get used to the fact that Steve wasnt there anymore, only returning about a year ago deciding that he wasnt going to be out in the field as much and let his team take the reigns. He was suprisinly content with the paperwork, maybe it was the fact that he knew that he was safe, that his kids didnt have to worry about him ending up in the hospital in life threating condition. He blamed it on his age, he wasnt getting older, but then there was a part of him that did think that maybe it was because he didnt have Steve around to make him do crazy things.
Danny groaned before turning around in his bed and grabbing his phone. He answers without looking at the caller ID.
"Hello" he grumbles whiping the sleep out of his eyes.
"Danno" a voice whispers. Danny stills. It couldnt be. A voice that he hadnt heared in 2 years. A voice that he heard every single day for 10 years. A voice that he longed to hear.
"Steve" he says back, sitting up fully. "Steve, hey are you alright" he asked concerned. He hears crying on the other side of the phone.
"Hey Steve, listen to me i need you to calm down okay. Tell me what the hell is going on" he pleads. His heart thumps against his chest, he felt like he couldnt breathe, the panic was too much.
"Oh Danno... i dont..." Steve starts before sobbing again. Danny gets out of his bed unable to sit anymore.
"Steve. Please what is going on. Where are you".
"Im at Cedars-Sinai" he whispers. Danny heart sinks.
"Your in a hospital" Danny asks paniced. This was good, being in a hospital was never a good thing.
"Why are you in the hospital, Steve. What happened to you," Danny couldnt handle this, Steve was in hospital, in California.
"Its not me that im here for" Steve says finally calming down a little bit. Danny felt himself finally breathe again. So Steve wasnt hurt, that was good but then that lef the question for why was he in a hospital.
"Why are you in a hospital then. Who do you know that's hurt" Danny questions more but then there is another voice on the phone.
"Mr McGarrett" a voice asks and then he can hear shuffling.
"Danny please come. I need you" is all that is said before the line goes dead.
"Steve" Danny asks into the phone but there is no reply. He moves the phone away from his ear and looking at the screen. He felt so many emotions, he was confused, scared, angry. What is it now that after 2 years that Steve decides to contact him.
Sitting down he puts his head in his hands and lets out a shaky breathe. Steve wants him to come to California. Steve needs him, but why now, its not like he needed Danny in the last 2 years. But Danny knew Steve better than anyone and he knew that Steve would never cry like that if something wasnt wrong. And God Danny hated that he was even considering getting on the next available flight to California but he was.
Grabbing his phone he looks up flights to California. God he was going to hate himself for this later. He books the flights and grabs a duffle bag from his closet putting as many clothes as he could into it, he didnt know how long he was going to be gone for.
Danny door opens slowly and Grace stands at the door rubbing her eyes. "Danno what are you doing" she asks him still processing the scene in front of her. Danny really didnt know how he was going to explain this to her. I mean its not every night that you wake up to your dad packing a bag frantically.
He sighs and stops for a second. "Im going to California" he tells her closing the closet door.
"California. Why are you going to California" she asks him confused. Danny steps in front of her and sighs.
"Steve is in California" he tells her and this really puts her mind into a spin.
"Steve. As in Uncle Steve is in California".
"Yes".
"Why are you going to see Steve. I mean i thought you werent speaking to him" she asks him and Danny sighs putting his hands to his hair.
"He rang. He's in hospital".
"Hospital" Grace asks frantically and Danny puts his hands on her shoulders calming her down.
"He's in hospital buts its not for him" he assures her and this leaves her more confused.
"What... what does that even mean," Danny groans.
"I dont even know honey. He wasnt saying much to me on the phone but something is wrong and i cant just leave him to figure it out on his own. He needs me" Danny explain closing his duffle bag.
"Danno" Grace says and Danny turns and looks at her.
"I know you love Uncle Steve" she starts. "And i know that you would do anything for him, but has it ever occured to you that he might walk out on you again if you let him back in" she asks him. Danny knew she was scared. She saw what he was like after Steve left. He wasnt the same Danno as he was. It was like light was taken out of him, the light that Steve had put into him and it was only now after 2 full years that he was finally starting to get back to normal.
Danny sighs before taking his daughter into his arms. "I know that your scared honey but i have to do this. I have to go to him" Danny explain and her grip around him gets tighter.
"I just dont want you to get hurt" she explains and Danny shakes his head.
"I won't. I won't let him hurt me again" Danny explains and Grace sighs.
"You can't guarentee that," Danny nods.
"I know. But i will do my best". Grace looks at her head and shakes her head.
"You know what, i am coming with you" she says turning on her heal and heading towards her room. Danny is stunned for a second before shaking his head.
"No you are not" he whisper yells at her as he follows into her room. She fishes out a bag from her closet and starts putting clothes into it like her father.
"Yes i am. If you are going to be around Steve again you need someone to keep you in check and there is no better person than me" Grace says firmly and Danny groans.
"Gracie i am a grown man i can handle myself" Danny tells her and she nods her head.
"I know but I hate seeing you hurt and im not going to allow you to be. So im coming" she says finally and Danny groans knowing that this was going nowhere.
"Who is meant to look after Charlie. I cant leave him on his own" Danny explains and Grace shrugs her shoulders.
"Getting junior and Tani to look after him. I mean Danno we have a big enough Ohana that there is bound to be someone who can look after him while we are gone". Danny knows that there is nothing that he can do to get her to stay so he decides to save his energy.
"Fine. I will call Tani and Junior, book your flight and as soon as they are here we are leaving" he tells her. She smiles at him and he turns walking out of the room. How is it that in the span of 10 minutes that Steve McGarrett can make his world go absolutly crazy.
After a quick converstation with Junior on the phone, Danny puts his and Graces bags down near the door before heading to Charlies room. Opening the door, he steps inside quietly walking towards Charlies bed and crouching down next to it.
"Hey, Charlie buddy can you wake up please" he asks shaking the boy slightly. The boy shuffles groaning.
"Dad" he asks confused as he turns his head to his father.
"Hey" Danny says quietly. "So I need to go away for a little bit" Danny explains and the younger boy looks at him confused.
"What do you mean. Where are you going" he asks and Danny gives him a small smile. "It's just a work thing. Im going to California".
"For how long?"
"I dont know but it shouldnt be too long. I'll be back before you know it".
"And is Gracie going too". Danny nods his head.
"Yeah she is. But uncle Junior and Aunt Tani are going to come and stay with you for tonight and then were are going to figure it all out okay" Danny explains. Charlie nods and reaches out and hugs his dad.
"You promise you wont be gone for to long right". Danny nods and hugs the boy tigher.
"Not to long. And hey" Danny pulls back. "I will bring you back something from California".
"Like an action figure" Charlie asks excitedly.
"Yeah an action figure if thats what you want okay" Danny says and Charlie beams excitedly. The door opens and Charlie and Danny look at Grace as she stands in the door.
"Tani and Junior are here" she explains and Danny nods before turning his head.
"We have to go now buddy but we will be back before you know it" he says hugging his son again and giving him a kiss on his forehead. "I love you".
"I love you too Danno". Danny pull back, standing up and walking towards the door. Grace walks towards Charlie, kneeling down and giving him a hug. Danny watches the scene from the door with a smile on his face.
The front door opens and Tani and Junior walking in looking at Danny as he stands in the doorway. Danny nods his head at them and walks over towards them.
"What is going on Danny" Tani asks him.
"Yeah why are you going to California" Junior asks. Danny sighs.
"I dont know much yet" Danny starts and Junior and Tani are even more confused.
"Steve is there" Danny states and this causes Tani and Junior to look at each other confused. It had been 2 years since anyone had heard from Steve. They didnt know why he had called after all of this time but they werent suprised that the first person he called was Danny.
"Why is he is California" Tani asks. Danny shrugs.
"I dont know. All i know is that he is in hospital. That he's not hurt but that he needs me," and that made it all make sense. Tani and Junior knew that Danny would drop everything for Steve in the blink of an eye, without thinking twice and they also knew that Steve would never admit that he needed someone unless he really needed them.
"Do you know anything more" Tani asks and Danny shakes his head.
"No but i know what hospital he is at and I will ring as soon as i know something," and that was enough for Tani and Junior.
Grace closes the door behind her and the 3 older adults all look at her. "I got Charlie back to sleep telling him that if he went back to sleep that you two would make him pancakes in the morning" she explains and Danny laughs at his daughters bargining. Tani and Junior shake their heads with a grin on their faces.
"Well looks like we are going to have to put our cooking skill to the test tomorrow if we are going to make pancakes. We are going to have to beat Danny" Junior says. Tani laughs as Danny has his mouth open wide in shock.
"Hey you two can not beat Danno alright. Its impossible" Danny exclaims and the other 3 laugh.
"We will see. We'll have to get Charlie verdict in the morning then" Tani says and Danny holds his finger out at the pair.
"I will hold you to that".
Grace laughs grabbing the bags. "Dad we really should get going" she explains and then they are brought back to reality. The reality of why they are all here in the first place. Danny looks at her and nods. A knott starts growing in his stomach.
"Okay" he says simply before opening the door. Grace walks out past him and to the car and Danny turns to Tani and Junior.
"We will text when we land and call when we know something" he explains and they nod. Danny nods and them before turning and walking towards the car. He get in the front as Grace had put the bags in the back and turn the car on. As he drives out of the driveway he looks in the mirror seeing Tani and Junior waving goodbye to them. And for the first time that night, it finally hits him that he is leaving to see Steve. He is going to see Steve.

sometimes i think of an interesting fic concept for a fandom other than this one and think to myself, “gee, this is such a good and obvious concept, surely theres fics like this out there” or “ooh, this piece of media had enough dark elements, surely there has to be some good grimdark aus somewhere” and then i open ao3 and am forcibly reminded of the fact that the dream smp is the only fandom that isn’t obsessed with slash fics and i just have to wallow in the lack of nice content and my own inability to write (and, lets be honest here, commitment to most fandoms outside of the dsmp atm) 
like genuinely, i dont think i can name a single fandom outside of the dream smp that has such a wide array of found family/friendship centered fics
stranger things? its all steddie or byler (as much as i love the both), etc.
my hero? its all bakudeku or tododeku or shindeku or literally everyone with deku.
detroit become human? its all hank and connor or connor and gavin or gavin and nines or markus and simon, etc.
our flag means death? its all co-captains (as much as i adore them as well) or steddy hands, etc.
the mcu? its all stucky or stony (or incest or selfcest lmao), etc.
sander sides? its all prinxiety or analogical or moralogical or lamp or lampd or whatever the new lamp plus janus and remus ship name is (yes more selfcest), etc.
gotham tv? its all nygmobblepot or jim and oswald or bruce and jeremiah (which i have so many questions about, but that is not the point of this post lmao)
etc etc
and i genuinely think its to a lot of these fandom’s detriments that everything has to be centered around a ship no matter what (esp mcu spiderman, pleASE GOD JUST GIVE ME GOOD POST NWH PETER PARKER ANGST THE CLOSEST THING IVE GOTTEN IS FUCKING SPIDERMAN!TOMMYINNIT AUS DO YOU SEE MY PROBLEM) because it really stops fandoms and fan-creators from really exploring the platonic and familial relationships between these characters and that exploration being in the main spotlight. 
like sure, steddie is great, but i would love to read a big fic that is all about Steve and Robin moving away from hawkins together and navigating the city and sharing an apartment together and losing their shared jobs every week and continue to explore and establish new boundries and systems with each other and learning things the other never thought were important but brings such important insight into the other that they need to understand each other even better. 
bylers cool, but i also want to read about will and el finally getting to meet each other and know each other and realise theyre so much more alike than they originally thought, never quite being seen as people, as the kids they are, but instead as these cool beacons of their friends’ efforts against the upside down and the government, and them becoming siblings, becoming the wonder twins, i want to see will trying to teach el how to draw, and el showing will all of her favorite tv shows, and the two becoming so intertwined that they know every preference the other has and how they can support each other through public school of a foreign town.
sure, bakudeku or tododeku’s okay, but i want to read a fic all about izuku growing up quirkless and what that means for his relationships and how much closer he is with his mom than other kids his age and how deep his mistrust of any other adults runs and what that means for how he acts once he finally gets to ua and how he sees all might as a surrogate father in place of the man that left him and his mother for the states and how that and his god worship of the man affects how he treats one for all and how he makes his decisions and how he prioritizes what all might tells him over what is actually good for him.
hank and connor is.. something, but why cant we read about how hank sees his son in connor and how it affects him to watch connor make these self destructive decisions in order to prioritize human life and his instructions over himself, and maybe about hank attempting to scare connor into deviancy, into some kind of self preservation, so that the poor thing can at least make a decision for himself and prioritize himself, and not die.
i love the co-captains as much as the next guy, but i want to read about how stede came across his crew, how he came to find out they like the children’s stories that he only held onto to remind him of his children, how he looked at lucius and saw himself in him, how lucius somehow managed to grab hold of every trait stede was bullied for, that was trained out of him, and emphases them and make them into a special kind of armor, and how stede takes lucius under his wing just to watch over him so that the boy will have someone on his side when he inevitably trips in his dance past (lets face it flirts and insults through) every hurtle that caught the heel of young stede’s shoe. how stede now will look up at that painting of a lighthouse and wonder if the problem wasnt that he wasnt a lighthouse, just that he hadn’t found the shore yet, and now maybe he has.
Do you see what I mean? How many fics are there that are like this that you can name off the top of your head? very few i imagine.
on top of this a lot of fandoms, because of their lack of exploration of non romantic relationships within their media dont only miss out on the sweet or bittersweet but the all fascinating grimdark aus that may spawn out of taking an absolute ship-less lens on the media you consume, i mean, the only fandom i can find any good or nuanced grimdark forced family fics in is, again, the dream smp.
and this has happened multiple times, where im watching something and i cant help but imagine how good a ctrinity style grimdark forced family au fic would be with these characters with these dynamics, btw.
(cw for all of the fun stuff that comes with forced family like kidnapping and implied abuse and characters overall being miserable lol - its not important to read, its just examples of dark aus im talking ab, just scroll to “etcetcetc” to skip past all that stuffs)
multiverse of madness, where instead of wanda trying to get to america and killing her in an attempt of getting her to make a portal to a universe where wanda’s boys exist going as far as it does, america offers herself up as her surrogate daughter and bringing the both of them through to them and living a normal life as a family in exchange for wanda to stop tearing places and people apart in this universe and others and for America’s life to be spared. and so she brings them both to a world with wanda’s boys, and wanda is just so so blinded by her own excitement and joy. she discards of that world’s wanda quickly, careful to ensure the boys were still asleep. then weeks, months maybe, go by and the boys start having nightmares but wont tell her why, what the nightmares are about, instead they wait until the door is closed and wanda’s down the hall to murmur in hushed tones about what they saw. (”shes not mommy, is she? mommy doesnt act like that. where did mommy go?”). america tries to pretend everythings fine and that theres nothing wrong with this twisted family dynamic wanda’s built up, but she cant truly hide its affect on her, the bags under her eyes are heavy and her fingers are always twitching, she flinches when wanda gestures with her arms to wildly and freezes when one of the boys accidentally breaks a glass. wanda doesnt stop using the darkhold. she could stop using whenever she wanted to, is what she tells herself, but she just needs to ensure no one is going to show up and take her boys away from her, she has to make sure america remains by her side, she has to make sure nothing goes wrong again. she can stop whenever she wants to, the thing is, she doesnt want to stop.
gotham tv (s4), where ra’s successfully kidnapps bruce and takes him and jeremiah under his wing, trying to raise them both to be like him, maybe barbra gets kidnapped aswell. ra’s wants them to act like a family, him as the father, barbra as the mom, and bruce, jeremiah, and talia as their children. at first this is all jeremiah could ask for. hes close with bruce, his need for simultaneous creation and destruction. a brother he didnt hate, and a present father. at first bruce is all angered yelling and venomous insults and scathing sarcasm. he comments on wanting to go home at every opportunity that presents itself, how he preferred alfreds cooking, he liked jim’s stories better, selina taught him cooler things, some days hed even complain about missing the criminals of gotham in an attempt to emphasis just how much he does not want to be here, no matter how cushy the bedding is or how nice the locals. at first all barbra does is attempt to kill, or at the very least injure, ra’s. some days its a steak knife to the gut, some a fountain pen to the face. ra’s is fine every time. hammer to temple. she doesnt buy time for herself, nor bruce. rope around the neck. she cant even injure him in any long term way. boiled water down the front. for a long time talia is jealous of the attention her father gives bruce and jeremiah. he spends long days trying to train the two in tandem, showing them how to protect themselves and how to injure others, how to tell the differences between the dead languages and how to read the basics, how to earn the trust of others and force them to fall into the trap of owing you favors. that is until she discovers how they all ended up here. shes left wondering if her father truly has the right of the world at heart, if she has to respect him and his decisions just because she is his only true daughter. jeremiah isnt having fun anymore. bruce has gone completely silent now. barbra has long since been subdued and doesnt even try to fight anymore. but talia stays quiet, even as the first time she hears bruces voice in months is when he yelps and tries to cover his face from being struck again, even as jeremiah mumbles to himself about someone named jerome, even as barbra spends her time staring whistfully into a bird bath when shes not cleaning or sitting pretty. (she tells talia, one quiet evening - a break from ra’s training bruce and jeremiah until they break, instead they’re allowed to curl up in a corner together and try to decipher books written in hundreds of dead languages - how she’d been engaged once. she wasnt happy, but she loved him nonetheless. she told her that she wondered sometimes how she would have turned out if she hadn’t left, if they got married. would’ve one of them left the other eventually anyways? would she have still ended up here? talia wishes she didnt talk to her, if only because it made staying quiet and continuing to live her life as a bystander harder.)
etcetcetc
unfortunately though, the dream smp (as far as ive seen) is the only fandom that explores family relationships and friendships so thoroughly and then delves deeper into more dark and upsetting aus (ive already said it once, but c!trinity!!) without there being a worry about weird romantic or sexual implications or plot points (which i partially blame killing stalking for the existence of - kidnappers arent hot pleeaaase) 
some dsmp fics that i cant imagine being nearly as well done - or created at all - if they were written for different fandoms (all on ao3):
the dead dont dream by penink - ctommy dies during exile, multiple times actually, and dream thinks this is the perfect opportunity to test out the revive book
withered by ThatWeirdGuyInTheBush - Manburg is a real country in a world based on the 1940s, and ctubbo decides hes willing to do something drastic for the good of his country
guided evolution by fathermooshroom - ctommyinnit becomes spiderman, unfortunately being spiderman comes with all of the issues of being spiderman and having a secret identity (i cried uncontrollably multiple times dont let the beginning trick you)
If You Need Somewhere Safe by random_on_main - when ctommy finally escapes logstedshire he takes sam up on his offer of giving him a place to stay rather than hiding in techno’s basement
passerine by thcscus (blujamas) - everyones favorite legendary ctechnoblade gives a visit to an old friend and comes to find out hes a king and has two sons
tommyinnit’s clinic for supervillains by bonesandthebees (bonesandcacti) - tommyinnit is seriously just trying to get through life and happens upon a supervillain passed out and bleeding out in an alleyway on his way home from work one night
cataclysm by thanotaphobia - phil and techno finally conquer the country they’d been at war with for the past several years, but when they discover the lone king to the country is a teenage boy they take him as prisoner rather than killing him
the world forgetting by the world forgot by bonesandthebees (bonesandthecacti) - ctommy has forgotten his entire life, all he knows is that villains kiddnapped and used him for his healing powers, and the superhero dream took him in after rescuing him and allowed him to become his sidekick
its now 5 am, i only made this because i was thinking about that one video of someone talking about how weird it was that the top two relationship tags according to the stats ao3 released where gen (wilbur&tommy and wilbur&techno&tommy) and basically making it obvious they only thought the only reason you would write or read fanfiction would be for ships and slash fics and just,, how sad that is, because this fandom has some of the best fics ive read without even considering putting any romance in the spotlight and i think its far more fulfilling to be able to read fanfiction for the sake of a good story rather than getting to see two characters kiss (which is not to say reading fanfiction to see two character kiss isnt exactly what you need sometimes, im just saying theres more out there to love), and also because i was frustrated by the fact that nothing interesting looking came up when i looked up the tags ‘post series: no way home’ and ‘homeless peter parker’ lmao. if yall have any good post nwh angst pls pls pls send it my way, i need desperately to cry over a character that is not tommyinnit please. im gonna crash now, sorry if this long this is shit - its wayy too fucking early.

Because I liked a boy
Warnings: illusion to sex, cheating, crying steve is a real jerk, mention to boob jobs? Thats all I think, oh and A LOT of angst
Tumblr media
You didnt know he was married..
It hurt seeing him all over her when last night he was next to you promising the world. She was everything you were not, her hair color was the opposite of yours and her height was totally different partially like the two of you were from different planets.
The big rock that sat on her hand told you all you needed to know, steve Rogers was a cheater.
You looked away from the picture perfect couple the sight too madding.
I said I wanted thin mints and you said you knew a guy
You showed up with a boom box and stars in your eyes
Who knew cuddling on trampolines could be so reckless?
We bonded over black eyed peas and complicated exes
"Oh oh steve look we should get some?!" You said while the Christmas lights dazzled in the city, the two of you walking when you spotted the thin mints from a girl scout booth.
He chulcked at how cute you were. "Well let's go get some!"
Fell so deeply into it
It was all so innocent
Now you stood in dress that was big enough to hold all the lies and secrets he said, it fit you perfectly.
Now I'm a homewrecker, I'm a slut
I got death threats filling up semi trucks
Tell me who I am, guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked-
I'm a hot topic on your tongue
I'm a rebound gettin' 'round stealin' from the young
Tell me who I am, guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked a boy
You stayed far from Captain America and mrs America. You knew deep down that you had to right to hate her but you did because she was perfect. And the perfect man needs a perfect wife. Not a mutant.
You sat in the ballroom with so many guests here for the stark gala. You said hello to everyone you knew and talked to some new people your eyes never tried to find him. And if you did get a glimpse you would walk the other way.
I'm not catastrophizing
Everything's derailing
Was only tryna hold you close
While your heart was failing
It's not internet illusions just
two kids going through it
You said I'm too late to be your first love
But I'll always be your favorite
Until his eyes found you, his breath was gone like smoke in the rain. You were what he wanted but he knew better, mr. Perfectly fine needs a mrs perfectly okay. He knew what he was doing was wrong but he lost so much and for once he wanted to be selfish.
He almost went back in time to be with his first love but bucky didn't deserve that and she was only first many, more were to come. He wished that it wasn't you, he wished he could go back and change the way he took his own happiness. It laid in you not her.
She was what people wanted to see him with, a white girl who was smart with rich parents, a girl that started to get botox at 18. The "perfect" suburban dream a hot wife with fake boobs.
You walked to the bathroom tears were threatening to leak. "Y/n" he said as he raced after you.
"Your married! You cheating scumbag get away from me!" You yelled tears now falling.
"I'm so sorry bumblebee" he tried to reach you but you moved back.
"Why?! What was the point?!" You said anger in your eyes.
"Why what?" He yelled back getting frustrated at how his life turned out but he was taking it out on you.
"Why tell me you love me when you dont mean it! Why make me love you when you knew I could never be with you! All this time I talked about living with you and sharing my life and dreams our future! You let me look like a fool."
"I do love you and I want to be with you! I do!" He yelled tears now running down his face as well.
"But I'm not good enough, you love me but your to afraid to say to the world so you would rather be with someone who you dont! All because your afraid!" You yelled back.
"I-i" he didnt get to finish.
"You know it's funny, your brave enough to fight aliens and wars but not enough to love me openly"
You walked away from him. A love affair that scorned the two. A man to afraid.
Now I'm a homewrecker, I'm a slut
I got death threats filling up semi trucks
Tell me who I am, guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked
I'm a hot topic on your tongue
I'm a rebound gettin' 'round stealin' from the young
Tell me who I am, guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked a boy
All because I liked a boy
Fell so deeply into it
It was all so innocent
Dating boys with exes
No, I wouldn't recommend it
I'm a homewrecker, I'm a slut
I got death threats filling up semi trucks
Tell me who I am, guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked a boy
And all of this for what?
When everything went down we'd already broken up
Please tell me who I am, guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked a boy
All because I liked a boy

My thing is what do you think the first real fight between Steve and Billy is? Like with Billy's past obviously he wouldn't EVER do anything to hurt Steve. Again
But how would it go?? Like im trying to rattle my Harringrove brain and see if their first fight would end like. Billy does the same thing Max does obviously and tries to push Steve away so much omg.
Like they're fighting and Steve says "You cant be angry all the time, you're so angry. The world did nothing for you ever but you are trying to be better... I see it every day" he takes a deep death and looks at Billy
Billy stares at the ground, eyes stinging from the tears. Billy isnt going to cry in front of Steve, he hasn't yet.
"Be strong, don't be a Pussy. Only pussies cry" the words Neil used to repeat during baseball practice. Or when Billy got hurt echoed in this brain. He never saw his dad cry, even the day his mom left. Men don't cry Billy isn't going to cry.
Billy takes a long breath before looking at Steve, meets his eyes and his mouth opens before his brain can register what he's saying "well then we should just break up"
Steve stares suddenly bursting with hurt, after everything Billy just wants to throw it away? He forgave Billy for nearly killing him. "You dont mean that."
Obviously I am not the greatest BUT I feel like this is kinda how it would go??
oh my gosh I love that so much because you’re so right billy is absolutely the guy to push steve away, and really, anyone away if they show him any kind of affection because oh god what is that???
but okay okay okay
for their first fight I imagine it’s kind of like that, billy pushing everyone away because he doesn’t think he deserves anything good in his life because you know I’m just a sucker for this trope alright?
but what if it’s not all in billy’s head?
what if it’s steve’s friends, like dustin and nancy, always giving billy the side-eye when the two walk into a room together, and dustin airing out all of his disdain for billy publicly, in front of billy, to steve, telling him he could do so much better than billy.
and what if steve just laughs it off? what if he just doesn’t take it seriously, thinks dustin is just being jealous because now he can’t have steve’s undivided 24/7 attention, and what if he doesn’t notice that way billy’s face falls and he clams up and stops wanting to hang around the rest of their group.
because steve never stands up for him.
and billy just lets it all fester, boil up inside of him until he’s really starting to believe it. it’s one thing for him to think he’s not good enough, but it’s an entirely other thing for the people steve cares about to think it, and it’s a huge fucking thing when billy starts wondering if, because steve never says anything defending him, if he thinks it too.
that’s when billy starts pushing. because he’s not good enough for steve. they both know it. and billy can’t keep pretending it’s okay.
and it gets nasty. these boys have no. fucking. clue. how to communicate effectively with each other so it really does get to the point that billy is about ready to get a box and fill it with every little thing that belongs to him around steve’s house because he just needs to go. he’s not good enough for steve and he doesn’t want to be the poison infecting his life anymore.
steve thinks billy is trying to sabotage the relationship (which he is, but steve isn’t bothering to figure out why) and billy wants steve to fight for him to stay but steve’s too angry to do that and it’s all the miscommunication and now they’re fighting over the tiniest little things and it’s bad bad bad.
and billy literally packing up his things is finally that tipping point for steve to finally ask billy not to go and finally ask *why* he is doing all of this.
and that’s when billy finally says it. “I’m not good enough for you.”
and that just makes steve even more mad because billy doesn’t get to decide that. steve tells him that and billy just laughs.
“if you really believed that, then why don’t you ever say it?” and billy is holding back tears, because it hurts every time he thinks about steve sitting around while his friends are saying steve “settled” and just laughing it off.
now steve is angry and confused, and billy won’t look at him no matter how many times he tries to get him to and he’s wracking his brain trying to figure out what on earth billy is talking about because why would billy think he thought that way?
billy tightens his grip on the box full of his things. “I hope your friends are happy.”
and that’s when it clicks. and it’s too late for steve to do anything because he’s frozen in place because the weight of the realization is almost too heavy to bear. so he just has to watch billy walk out his front door.
that night, steve doesn’t run to billy’s house begging for forgiveness. instead he runs to dustin’s and nancy’s and robin’s and whoever else he can vaguely remember saying anything at all negative about him dating billy. he rips each and everyone of them a new asshole and the whole time he’s feeling so fucking guilty because even if he never said what they said, he never disagreed, not out loud, not for billy to hear it.
so made a point, to go to everyone’s house and tell them they had to go talk to billy in person and tell them that they were wrong, that he is not only good enough, but he is *good* for steve. and they do, reluctantly, some of them steve had to drag there kicking and screaming. but they do. and once they all have done that. it’s steve’s turn to apologize.
he doesn’t do it standing at billy’s front door like everyone else had. he takes him to the quarry, somewhere private, somewhere that is theirs.
he sits there in the car and apologizes over and over again, and tells billy over and over again that he is so much more than good enough for him and he’s so sorry he never stuck up for him.
and if it weren’t for all the children banging down his door all day saying all the exact same things, maybe it would have been a little harder to accept, but Steve is sitting there begging him, clearly exhausted, clearly having not have slept since their fight, and god his big brown eyes just do something to him.
and they’re good. steve just had to remember to remind billy, every single day, just how good he is.

Hi!
About that why did you get billy hate poll... Personally i dont post about billy or harringrove so i never had any hate targeted at me, and i cant vote in zhe poll because of it. BUT i had to block so many accounts and tags because i couldnt go into the billy hargrove tag without encountering these mile long posts about how awful we all are. I know you know these posts too well, so i wont detail how according to the antis we are all racist assholes. The worst part is that when i first joined the fandom i saw so many of these that i almost believed them. You know, when a bunch of people are all saying the same bs but you start to doubt yourself, it really sucked. It effected me enough thst i had a hard time "confessing" to my real-life (aka not online) friends who are casual fans of the show that he was my favourite character. And the funny part is most of them couldnt even care less, cause being such a passionate anti for a fictional character and writing 10k essays on how awful that FICTIONAL CHARATER is and therefore his fans and the actor too IS NOT NORMAL BEHAVIOUR! It is as chronicly online as it gets. There was only one friend of mine who was suprised and since she is a very opinionated person started to explain to me how SHE COULD NEVER LOVE HIM and she is suprised that i care about him. I tried to explain to her that i know that he behaves like an asshole but its due to his background and i believe would he have gotten the same treatment as steve he could have been redeemed, i was hit with the classic tonedeath answer:
Well my home life wasnt sunshine and puppies either but i dont go around beating up kids
At that point i just gave up in arguing honestly and then i felt like an idiot for not putting up more of a fight, cause this made it feel like her argument i agreed with. God.
I love billy so much, but all this negativity that comes with being in the fandom just drains me.
my dear anon, you are absolutely correct and i hope you have a lovely day.
i confess that when i first watched stranger things, i didn't like billy that much. and i handled that by not engaging with media about him, you know, like a normal person. this was just after s2 came out so i wasn't active on tumblr, i wasn't writing fanfiction, i wasn't in the fandom (and I'm glad let me tell you). but i was also thirteen and related to max more than billy, but the older i got, the more mature and aware i became of just the world in general.
in my humble opinion, the vocal billy antis are ignorant. they don't want to a conversation, they don't want to discuss nuance or entertain the idea of people unlearning things.
we've reached a place in this world where racism and homophobia and ableism are so prevalent that people forget that these things are taught and can therefore be unleant. because a lot of the real life people don't want to unlearn, or can't.
and that idea as spread into fandom spaces. I've said it before and I'll say it again, but the fact that people's response to children/teenagers saying racist/homophobic things is to immediately call for their death is a bad thing actually. and yes, it's spread to characters as well.
it's all performative. i made that poll just to see how performative antis are and, yeah, the results aren't great.
another thing i've noticed about people in general is that they tend to hate characters that exhibit their *embarassing* flaws. media that has racist/homophobic characters in the bad positions aren't really loved by people who hold those views.
Tumblr media
^^^^ i think this summarises what i'm trying to say. no one wants to be the bad guy, so when they see something that forces them to confront that part of them, they push it away, deny it.
billy/harringrove stans have been harrassed, told to kill ourselves, called slurs and yet the people who say those things think they're right because they can't fathom being wrong.
so, anon, what i've learnt from my six months in this fandom, is to embrace it. yea billy was going to hit the kids with his car, i actively encourage that now. yea billy was going to kill everyone, he should've killed them all.
but no matter what, we love and support each other. so feel free to ramble in my ask box whenever, start posting on your blog about billy, do whatever you want.
they don't matter to us. they can't matter to us. fandom should be safe and it should be fun and those people are making themselves miserable. and that isn't our fault and it isn't our problem.

New steve headcannon let's go!!
Okay I know how steve is shown reacting to pain however I'd like to bring the headcannon that steve has Congenital insensitivity to pain, aka steve cant feel any pain. After being diagnosed, his parents (who, lest be honest have neglected him since he was a kid instead choosing to throw money at their problems instead) hired a nanny to watch him and look after him till he was like 13, and make sure he was never too hurt. After a while though she quit but steve had learned by that point how to look after himself, plus he had the emergency number aswell as a few private numbers of the local hospital and its staff, as well as fortnightly visits for check ups, so he thought he would be okay!
He uses this factor of not being able to feel pain in tow with his protector complex (also know as protecting his dumbass kids + robbin who keep getting themselves in life threatening situations smh) so he can shield them knowing he wont feel the pain.
Also hed almost definitely try hiding it from everyone (especially the kids) since he knows its an incredibly dangerous condition and with all the fighting monsters, he doesnt want the others to know. He is, however, good at assessing his injuries himself, and probably very well known and comfortable with the hospital staff (bc hes smart enough to make sure hes looked at even if he doesnt feel anythings wrong). Plus hes can cover for it pretty well too, learning how to actually make it look like hes reacting to pain from a younger age to not freak people out.
Robin would be the first to find out. The two would be sitting in a hospital waiting room after everthing at starcort (steve and joyce definitely were the ones making sure everyone gets checked out after the fight + explosion)
The two not really wanting to split up after everything with the Russians so robin stays by steve as they wait for him to get looked at, (dustin and erica both with their familys now). When a familiar nurse walks in and the moment she sees steve she just gasps "Steve Harrington!? What on earth has happened to you, this is SERIOUS young man. I gave you a pass last time, but with your condition, stunts like this could have you killed if you dont arrive here fast enough! Dont you realise your life expectancy is barely 25 without all these fights!?" And she just keeps fussing over him doing a thorough check up on him.
And robin is just like "uh um what the fuck is she talking about!? Why will you die and 25 steve?!?!?" Only for steve to turn away from her and say "I didn't want you or the kids to worry... robbie... i cant feel pain rob. Everything back at the mall? It didnt hurt me, it could never hurt me because I have CIPA. it's why I put myself in front of the kids when they're in danger, because I know I will be able to take any pain. I didnt want you to get worried."
After a long lecture and being checked up to the point where the nurse is happy for him to leave as long as someone monitors him for his concussion (robin immediately volunteered). From then on people wonder why shes so protective of him (and him her) they only tell that they know each others biggest secrets and that makes them closer than just freinds.
Obviously (most likely during/ after season 4, just without eddie dieing) everyone else starts to find out. First the upside down gang after steve is attacked by the demobats and steve has to calm Robin down because she starts panicking that they wont be able to get to a doctor in time. (Let's just say Nancy and Eddie were not very happy hed been risking his life on a whole other scale than the rest of them)
Then the kids, dustin first after he watches steve collapse soon after getting them all to hospital (dustin definitely cryed alot thinking of all the ways hed watched Steve getting hurt and didnt do anything). Then Lucas and Erica after they meet back up after they stayed with max. Then the rest as they slowly all murged into one group again. Joyce and Hopper were shocked, the old cop demanding to be notified by the hospital if they ever found themselves in the teens company again so he and joyce can look after him.
Steve later ends up with an emergency call list that takes up an entire page since all the kids parents + Eddie, Nancy, Jonathan and Wayne Munson (robin already being on it since starcourt) desire that they have adopted steve and choose this is a helpful way to look out for him!
I really want to write a fic with this idea tbh it would be really fun. Especially if I pair it with my eddie has chronic pain/ fibromyalgia hc bc like its quite literally the opposite condition (and the one I have) so it would cause for an intresting interaction xD
Anyway take my sleep deprived headcannons and go lol

A bit of a rant. You've been warned! [Steve is the dominant one]
Normally I don't mind how people ship like if you want so and so to be the top and so and so to be the bottom and I don't agree with that then that's fine, but since I've had so many people talking crap to me lately about how I do it, I'm going to explain something…
Steve is clearly the dominant one in Stonathan. I don't know about the other Steve ships because while I don't mind them I don't ship them or pay attention to them [well except for Stoncy but imo Steve and Nancy are both clearly the dominants to Jonathan who is submissive so its the same thing].
But when it comes to Stonathan it's just absurd to say that Steve would be the submissive/bottom. I mean its obvious. Steve even has the personality of a dominant and Jonathan's personality is that of a sub. In fact, their entire dynamic is dom!steve and sub!Jonathan. Jonathan even acts like a sub when Steve starts to talk down to him. Okay, so Jonathan might be a mouthy sub/bottom, but realistically ALL subs are.
In all their scenes together in Season 1, they even act like dom!steve and sub!jonathan. Those scenes were like pre-slash to a BDSM story. I know I sort of mentioned this before, but I'll say it again: In the scene where Steve breaks Jonathan's camera, that scene screams dom!steve and sub!Jonathan and is enough to demonstrate this.
Steve walks up to Jonathan and starts touching him [unnecessarily] Jonathan doesn't fight it. He could so easily lift up his arms and push Steve away but he doesn't. Instead Jonathan just stands there and keeps his arms pinned down at his sides. He lets Steve touch him as much as he wants and lets Steve do whatever he likes with him. We all know that Jonathan could kick Steve's ass if he really wanted to here, but he doesn't, so its not that Jonathan CAN'T fight back against what Steve is doing to him…its that he DOESN'T WANT TO. Jonathan also keeps his eyes averted from Steve as much as possible to show Steve he is letting him have all the power in the situation, to show he is not challenging him. Its a typical dom and sub interaction and Jonathan is clearly the sub/bottom and Steve is the dom/top.
Then in later seasons, Steve is taking charge and being the leader of the group and bossing everyone around and everyone obeys his orders overall. The kids talk back to him to keep him humble and challenge him but overall he is the one in charge and they challenge him so much because he is the main one to challenge since he is the overall leader [except when the adults show up]. So…Steve is a dominant type in all seasons not just Season 1.
I mean do whatever you want idc, but dont tell me off and call me delusional for thinking of Steve as a dom when he clearly is. It's actually so baffling to me when someone says Steve is the sub/bottom that to get you to understand how absurd I think it is: its just as absurd as saying Vecna or Lord Voldemort is a bottom. I just can't believe it. Steve is classically written as a dominant type of character.
So to all of you that want Steve as a sub and didn't say anything to me: Keep living your best life. This rant wasn't directed at you in any way and enjoy the ship how you want, but to the people that have been saying I'm in the wrong: My advice is to cut back on all the Palm Tree Delight. Just let me keep doing what I'm doing so I can enjoy my fav ship.

Untitled's Prompt Writing - Smut
This 1/3 list of Prompts that I would like to do writing on Steve Harrington (I know, I'm biased. Sue Me.)
18/1/23 - Change of plans more bois are coming into the picture 😆
All of the lists will be credited to @justforshitsandcackles - I just changed some of them to fit to the universes I will write about. I'll roll a dice thrice to know who will I do the story about, what genre and number I do.  
There will be no requests, but I could change my mind over time :3
“Don’t make me take you home and punish you.”
“I’ve never wanted anyone to fuck me this badly.”
“You’re not going out in that outfit.”
“Don’t give me that look.”
“You’re more than just a one night stand.”
“Would you just shut up and kiss me already?”
“You want me to give you your book/phone/item back? Make me.”
“Like what you see?”
“Try to stay quiet, understand?”
“We’re in public, you know.”
“I didn’t know you were so sensitive.”
“Dont be so rough. there cant be any marks.”
“I really don’t care. You still look hot and i’m trying not to kiss/fuck you senseless right now.”
“Are you sure? Once we start, i might not be able to stop.”
“No, i’m supposed to be making you feel good.”
“Make me.”
“Stop teasing me so much..”
“You’re in trouble now.”
“Take off your clothes.”
“I’m waiting.”
“First one to make a noise loses.”
“Mine.”

(Remember it's all my headcanons)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nancy Wheeler
she doesn’t like candy that much, she would prefer something salty than something sweet
probably named at least one of her guns
she sometimes is clueless, like if someone tries to make a joke she will ask questions and say "i don't get it" until everyone just gives up on explaining
her notebooks usually have lots and lots of doodles
Smells nice, really really nice
facts, she knows a lot of fun facts and casually drops them in the conversation
Talks about jonathan a lot
she loves to tell stories about anythings
will hear you talk about things you like for hours because she loves to hear you being so passionate about things
Loves to watch movies, most drama but sometimes she likes horror movies
eddie munson
he would love to get other people to like metal or dnd
He doesn’t like when you touch his hair but likes to touch yours
he enjoys others company most of the time, he sometimes just stays with you in silence doing something just because you're there
he loves his guitar, wont let you touch it unless he is with you and sure you wont drop it or something
he likes horror movies but get paranoid when he watches them, wont admit it tho
he likes to jumpscare people, wich causes some problems like that time he jumpscared Steve and ended up punched in the face 💀
He let dustin choose a tatto for him once, a bad idea cleary but he got a really bad tatto just so he didnt let dustin down
Robin buckley
She really likes music, she sings its not bad but it isnt good either, but either way you love to hear she sings
will joke about anything 24/7
takes things to literally sometimes
She panics easily and only calm down after a while
Needs instructions to do the most easy thing
Loves dogs, like she can not pass by one without almost crying while petting them, never had a dog tho
had a cat once, it ran away and she never had pets again
hugs, hugs, hugs, hugs and the best hugs
dramatic, will hold you in place so you don't go away
loves to paint her nails even tho she doesn’t know how to make it look nice
probably would give her friends those 2$ rings because loves to give out presents
draws, not too good but its not ugly
has a sketchbook filled with drawning of her friends
Steve harrington
man will take any excuse to take off his shirt
let robin paint his nails like once, he didn't like it but stayed with it to not make her sad
Dont jumpscare him, he is more fight than flight
he will not go out without getting his hair nice
is worried about the kids 24/7
his favorite kid is max but don't tell the others
tried to play dnd once to make dustin happy, he didnt understand ANYTHING
confused 24/7
says he likes horror or action movies but in reality loves romance movies
he doesnt like to cry infront of people because his parents said it was stupid to cry :(
Likes dogs and cats, dont want neither of them, thinks he cant take care of it properly
his hair is his weakness, if you touch his hair he probably will melt
when he gets drunk he gets either crazy or sleeps a lot
Tumblr media
i have a lot more about all the character will post more later maybe lol

she
robin buckley x reader
[a fight with your best friend leads to a long overdue confession]
Tumblr media
you'd been friends with robin for years,practically since diapers.you were always together.always working the same jobs,always in the same classes.you always had these inside jokes that no one really understood.you were joined by the hip.the best of friends and all that cheesy crap people say.
but for a while now you'd been wanting more.you knew it wasnt deemed normal by those around you.if your orthodox christian parents found out,or the kids of your small town ever knew,it'd be the end of your cushy life at hawkins.
it started small.you noticed yourself slipping up,thinking about her more than usual.about how pretty she was,youd notice yourself heating up when she held your hand.how you would stare at her lips longer than you should have.you figured it was just normal girly friendship stuff.
but it hit one day.when you saw her,laughing with steve,she looked at him like he was the only person in the world.it made your stomach turn.it made you jealous,that wasnt a normal girl thing.you thought about it,why you never liked steve like everyone else,or any guy for that matter.why you'd spent so many years by robins side never going on dates or talking about boys.
you tried your best to forget it,but each day it seemed like she got closer to steve.you were scared of losing her,either to steve,or by telling her the truth.eventually it just became too much too bare.
robin and steve had this job together at the video store,getting jobs together was something you two had always done,it helped pass the time,but she hadn't even told you she got the job,let alone applied.
needless to say you were pissed,and in a mood to fight the hair atop steves head.
"hey ___ i didn't know you were coming here today" robin said smiling that annoyingly lovely smile.
"i didn't even know you worked here" you muttered.
steve sensed there was something going on and decided to go do something in the back,something being to sit around waiting for robin to tell him what happened.
"what's up?"robin asked,it was annoying how genuinely concerned she was.she hadnt done anything wrong.and even if she had,she didnt know.it wasn't her fault,but you needed someone to blame for how you felt.
"what's up is you've basically been ignoring me for months now,your best friend.or what,is steve,the douchebag we used to make fun of,suddenly your best friend?what happened to us robin we used to be best friends and now youve cast me away for him!"
"i didnt cast you away,ive been busy!and steve is not a douchebag.look youre still my best friend okay,im sorry."
"bullshit,if i hadnt come here today you wouldnt care.you and steve would be off doing god knows what and id have no one!"
"so what?you want me to ditch steve,is that it?are you jealous?"
"yes,of course im fucking jealous!"
"are you jealous of me?since when did you like steve?okay im sorry but im not dating st-"
"im jealous of steve you idiot!"
she stopped for a minute.not sure how to take that last line.
"im in love with you robin!and i dont care who you tell or if you think im a freak,i dont care if we arent best friends anymore,just fucking tell me so i can carry on with my stupid life.so i can get over you!"
a teary eyed,snot filled confession.you must have looked crazy.wiping the tears away whilst trying to storm out wasnt as badass as it was in movies.especially when you slammed into the door.now that,that,was truly your lowest moment.
"shit,shit,shit"you said clutching your head.robin had already begun running towards you from behind the counter.she got to you and placed her hands on both sides of your face.you sniffed away a few more tears.it was so embarassing you were convinced youd have to move towns.
the crazy lesbian who ran into doors.
you turned to robin about to apologize for your fight.but rather than her being serious,she was laughing.and soon after you were laughing too.
"you arent supposed to be laughing,asshole"you smiled
"believe me i tried my best not to"
and there you were again,you and robin,laughing your asses off at the worst of times.the tears had stopped and robin helped wipe the remnants off your face.after another silence robin spoke up.
"you know steve and i arent a couple."
"yeah,yeah,i know,i was just-"
"we arent a couple because i like girls."
you looked at her with big,hopeful eyes.
she kept both of her hands on the sides of your face.she closed her eyes and put her forehead to yours.you closed your eyes to mirror her.
"i have loved you since you cried in kindergarten when you fell off the monkey bars." she confessed.
you let out a small laugh,your heart beating so fast that it rang in your eyes."ive been avoiding you because it was too much,whenever i see you i can only think of telling you how much i love you.and i can only think of grabbing you and kissing you."
"then do it."

"okay im sorry i was gonna wait until you came to the back but-" steve said walking into the room.you and robin turned to him,her hands on your head,and your proximity enough to give steve the impression of the situation. "im gonna go do ... something" he said,blanking on an actual reason. "oh and by the way,im not a douchebag" steve yelled whilst walking away.making you and robin laugh again.
