Steddie Upside-Down AU Part 96

Part 1 Part 95

Mom makes him go home when he starts dosing on Steve’s hospital bed. But it’s okay because she kisses Steve’s cheek before she leaves, and Eddie and Wayne stay parked by his side. 

The connection’s easier now. It’s like all that time straining for Steve has snapped something into place. He can feel them all the time, a warm buzzing in his chest. He wonders if he runs hot now. If the warmth will diffuse through his whole being, make coats obsolete even in the dead of winter. 

Hopper is waiting for them in the waiting room, El burrowed into his side. She looks wan, and tired, drooping into her extravagant coat, eyeliner running down her cheeks like she’s been crying. Something inside him twists when he looks at her.

Before he can untangle that knot of emotion, Hopper stands up, both hands slapping against his knees first the same way Mike’s dad does before he gets up from his recliner. “You ready to go?” he asks, not looking away from Mom. 

When Will glances up, Mom’s smiling up at Hopper in a way he doesn’t want to think about. The adults talk quietly in front, leaving El to stumble tiredly along beside Will. She’s staring at the side of his face. Will can’t bring himself to look back. 

“Steve,” she says, sounding the word out and making it longer like it still tastes foreign on her tongue. “He is okay?”

When Will gets up the courage to look over, her eyes are big and worried. He smiles at her helplessly. It’s almost funny how innocent she looks; like she’s a bunny dressed up in punk clothes. “He’ll be okay.”

She smiles, small and close lipped, but it still beams out of her like the sun. Will tilts his head to the side and tries to see what Mike sees in her. He wants to hide her in Castle Byers, build a fortress around her, and keep her away from all the lab people for the rest of her life. 

Is that howMike felt, hiding her in his basement, giving her frozen eggos and keeping his mouth shut? 

But then her lips thin and she looks forward again. The feelings vanishes. It’s just El, hia friend, despite how much of Mike’s attention she’d snapped up just by being herself. 

“I’m glad,” she says, looking at Hopper’s broad back as she takes two steps for each one of his. 

It’s quiet after that, the way it always is after; all of them too brittle and bruised and bone-deep tired for conversation.

Hopper’s truck rat-a tat-tats itself to life in the hospital parking lot. The radio croons out something quiet and thrumming until Hopper reaches over to shut it off.

El’s heads smushed into the window, vibrating against the pot-holed roads of Hawkins.

Will’s so tired he’s wide awake. 

He watches the familiar buildings of Hawkins flicker by. It's been a long time since knowing his surroundings brought any comfort. 

Monsters could live behind every door, every tree, every smiling face.

He’s not sure any of them will ever feel safe again. 

Will closes his eyes, locking the scenery out so he can focus on the bundle of warmth in his chest. They’re still huddled together, two sparks merging in his chest. 

The past couple days have been a necessary violation of Eddie’s private feelings. He’d bared them all with love confessions and grasping hands, trying to pull Steve back from the edge of immolation. 

He’s not even sure Steve knows, hopes he does. Steve deserves to hold that love delicately between his palms and choose what to do with it. 

He won’t crush it, even if it’s unreturned. He’ll hold it gently like he always does.

Will doesn’t realize he fell asleep, or that they’d arrived home until he’s in free-fall. It feels like one of those falling dreams where you wake up solidly in the middle of your bed, but this time he really is tumbling, only Jonathan’s arms keeping him from hitting the gravel. 

“Are you okay?” he asks shakily as he pulls Will into his chest, holding him tight enough to hurt. “I’m so sorry.”

“Oh, sweetie,” Mom murmurs, wrapping them both up in her arms, chin landing solidly on Jonathan’s shoulder, sandwiching Will between their bodies. “Everyone’s fine, right Will?”

Will murmurs his affirmation, feeling groggy and confused in the light of day. 

“I was with Nancy,” Jonathan whispers. “I was just with Nancy, and you were–I almost–”

“Shh,” Mom cuts him off, reaching up to cradle his face and smile up at him. Will barely catches the edge of his watering eyes from his restricted vantage point between them. “Everyone’s fine.”

“I should have been he–”

“Jonathan,” Mom interrupts again, sharper this time. “Everyone is fine. You deserve a normal life.”

“But Will–”

“I’m fine!” Will cuts in this time. 

Jonathan pulls back, looking down at him with worried, droopy eyes. “And Steve? Mike said he was possessed.”

Will feels that bundle of warmth in his heart, lets it shine through his smile as he looks up at his brother. “He’ll be okay.” As Jonathan droops with relief, Will feels his smile turn cheeky. “Eddie will never let you forget that you were on a date while we were fighting monsters, though.”

Jonathan closes his eyes, pained while Mom laughs. 

It’s not until they’re walking toward the front door that Will notices the lack of demo-dog bodies. There’s still puddles of black oil-slick blood, but everything else looks normal. Who covered their tracks? The lab? Hopper?

He settles down for the debrief, pillowing his head on Jonathan’s shoulder as Hopper’s even tones flit through his brain. 

Maybe familiar places no longer hold any comfort, but Jonathan’s bony frame is enough to lull him into a peaceful sleep.

He's like. I'm a terrible brother! #Meanwhile Nancy only has low stakes in the whole thing. And she never got involved so by the time she knew to worry about Mike. #She already knew he was fine. so her main reaction is feeling left out. #Nancy is so fun in this AU because her inciting character incident (Barb's death) shapes so much of who she is #that we have like maybe one episode of characterization to work off of wrt what she was like before #anyway I'm sick so we'll see how much writing I can actually get done while feverish!

Though Roderick and his followers didn't realise it at the time, the magic in the circle and the glass orb meant that the only people who could see Dream were the ones that were there when he was summoned, so as far as the guards are concerned they're guarding an empty glass sphere that a delusional old man thinks holds something. And then of course, Hob gets hired as a guard and it's dealer's choice if Dream has realised by then that no one but Burgess and his Order can see him.

But then because Hob is sort of aware that magic and esoteric things do exist, he sees Burgess (sr or jr) talking to the globe and is like, huh. Maybe there is something in there. But maybe it's a demon like the rumours say and I shouldn't let it out. But Hob starts talking to Dream anyway while the other guard takes longer and longer smoke breaks.

Whichever Burgess is around at the time realises that there must be something about this guard, because the next time he comes down to yell/bargain/threaten, Dream has moved. He's hidden his face, there are handprints against the glass, and the dreamlord's shoulders are shaking.

It doesn't take him long to figure out the pattern - that this only happens around Robert, for whatever reason, and the man himself has no notion of what's in the circle - and eventually he sends the guards out so that he can tell Dream exactly what he'll do to this Robert if Dream doesn't comply. That he may not understand what it is about this one man that compels one of the Endless so, when he has been so unaffected by everything else but the death of his familiar, but that doesn't matter. He will find out, and he will leverage it, however he needs to.

He turns and leaves, and basically I want Hob to wander back in none the wiser and settle into his chair and his usual routine of talking all moony eyed about his stranger, while Dream is roaring his fear and fury and beating his fists bloody against the glass

#dreamling #dream of the endless #hob gadling #Sandman #On today's episode of 'fics I have in my head so vividly and Simply Cannot Put To Paper #serving up a fresh plate of angst sorry #I think it would be neat if either Hob (with Johanna's help) or Paul completely by accident smeared the one sigil that kept Dream invisible #Imagine Hob's reaction to suddenly seeing his old stranger in the once-empty glass prison #To seeing the way his head hangs between his shoulders even as something in the spell snaps #The being he had only ever seen poised and dignified even in his hurt and fury #Who had warned Hob to take care so that he didn't get hurt. Or captured #I just think it would be neat

The way you write Alastor sometimes comes across as very agender to me and idk if you do that on purpose but I love it

I do, actually! He strikes me as the kind of person who is invested in the performance of masculinity and being a gentleman because it's a part of the way he wants the world to see him, and I don't think he would be very tolerant of people trying to emasculate him in any way because that is an insult with heavy connotations, especially during the time he's from. At the same time, though, I feel like if he'd been assigned female at birth, he would see the presentation of his femininity (and anybody questioning it) exactly the same way.

I write him as seeing gender as a role performance that has important traditional social values, but not ones that are inherently related to who he is as a person. Basically, he's a demon and a monster first, and everything else... I'd say "second," but frankly he barely tolerates people seeing the humanity in him at all.

#ask #personal #Anonymous #hazbin hotel #alastor #666 live on air #this is also why he doesn't really 100% get Vox's entire thing in 666 #it's not just that Vox is trans it's that Vox cares enough to have transitioned at all #it's also why he had a lot of interesting feelings in the angel dust dress up episode in 666 #and why he had such a reaction to angel calling him queer and charlie repeatedly saying she thought he was gay in the mimzy fic #glad you're enjoying the vibes! :D #my writing #meta #hazbin hotel meta

Is everyone so excited for what will no doubt be a glorious Cromwich two parter? Because I personally am SO EXCITE. And I will be in the group chat with The Discord.

iamastrawberry

Listen I cannot take it. I fear it will be the end of me and the everyone involved is just like ‘oh well we are in Silly Goofy Moods’ and we will get the flashback to Thee Beautiful But Tragic Italian Love Affair.

And John leaves and Thomas thinks he’s abandoned !!!! Like imagine if all that time John did it because he didn’t want Thomas involved in danger and politics and more loss, after he’d already lost his wife. And it just destroyed them both.

And now he can never have him I FEEL SO BAD FOR HIM GOD.

restorationistkingsleftbuttock

I am so so sat for this two parter. Also Ilana YOUR MIND you are so big brained for that. Manifesting all the flashbacks - at least we can see them being happy ONCE. (I know Rupert said there would be flashbacks so I’m assuming we get Italy). Other things I think will happen:

John seeing Gregory grown up and just being devastated because he loved that boy like his own.

All the stories he must know about young Thomas! We haven’t heard too much about his childhood - well we’ve heard the good stories and some of the sad ones but I really think there must be so much history with John.

I think John will hate that Thomas has to be a secret and there will be conflict with the monarchs because John does not think it’s fair that Thomas is treated like a dirty secret. I think he’ll want to see Thomas valued,

[crehador]

just had an extremely detailed dream where the third episode of bucchigiri?! aired early with a special op except it wasn't bucchigiri?! it was

well

for some reason cherry and joe sk8 were there AND jiro and saburo (???) my hpmi sons were there, along with some sort of baby

(if you aren't familiar with sk8 just sub in rijyu for cherry and joe, if you aren't familiar with hpmi i'm sorry i can't help you this is first and foremost a hpmi blog)

like in this dream at the end of ep2 i think matchablossom and jiro+sabu were working together on some sort of odd job for some reason, to find a child? (who may or may not be spyxfam anya, more on this shortly)

anyway ep2 ended with the four guys colliding in like a comically large dust cloud while the baby got away, and ep3 started with a unique op mostly focused on joe and cherry except they were like

bickering a ton (even more than usual) while running around chasing the baby (like a literal infant in a onesie) who they had some sort of beef with?? i can no longer remember whether the baby was in a pink onesie or had pink hair, but i think it had some sort of superpower that made it very difficult to catch, so it may have been anya or saiki or something

so dream!me (who is delightedly watching this episode of bucchigiri?! that isn't bucchigiri?! but aired early) is beyond delighted by this op because L M A O why are cherry and joe beefing with a baby!!! and with each other. in a way that seems... familiar...... yet not.........?

IT'S THEN THAT dream!me has this big gasp and realization moment where i was like HOLY SHIT IS THIS A BODY SWAP EPISODE?! and then it was! the op ended, and the episode proper started and revealed that joe and cherry were fighting more and in a way that didn't seem quite like them because they were JIRO AND SABURO they had all gotten swapped in the big dust cloud collision

woke up shortly after that, unfortunately. i may. just maybe. may be watching too much anime lol

#kinda want to write a fic like this now #except with rijyu instead of matchablossom lmao #dream!me was also liveblogging reactions like OMG BODY SWAP EPISODE before 'waking up' and realizing #oh shit that was a dream... i should not have posted all that...... #then waking up for real and realizing PHEW it was a dream but posting about it was also a dream so at least i did not mislead anyone lmao #weirdly in the dream it was very specifically an episode of bucchigiri?! but no one from bucchigiri?! was there #anyway. coffee time

h

im thinking about divorced sam and max and imagining how its just because theyre at a low because theyre getting old and its all too much and all too sudden and its not really a going distant thing and losing feelings but rather the worry of tying the other one down for so many years practically their whole lives so making a decision to split and stay just friends so to not take all freedom from the other but it doesnt work it just turns them very cranky and they eventually find their way back to one another cause they just cannot be apart nor with anyone else ans they cant have this work/friends only relationship they just have to talk it out and realize they both just want the best for one another but the best thing that happened to both of them Is the other and having one another and they simply cannot split. and thats where the another marriage happens.. i wonder how long they would be apart and if it would be abrupt or starting from stupid misunderstanding arguments

#longest sentence known to man #coping from ttiv again #i hate their shitty situationship there #prescription of 3 snm cartoon episodes could heal me #crying kitten exploding head gif my reaction to their banter in ttiv #the thing is its fine its just my brain being too focused on like 3 lines honestly. and the nausea i got while playing once that comes back #everytime i think about it. ttiv motion sickness ttiv situationship sickness. ugh they need to be dissolved in acid #this isnt for anything in particular since i cant write a fic or anything this is only my thoughts after seeing that divorce post #they divorced in the cartoon too but its fine <3 because they got back stronger than ever #and hey i love old man yaoi its just so weird seeing these two specifically as old. they need therapy more and more every year they age #thoughts are being thunk #dni. im just printing out a photo of them from ttiv tacking it to my wall and shooting a bb gun at them

as a anime-only for tokyo revengers i would give anything to rewatch some of those crazy scenes for the first time again; it has been a long time since an anime has gotten a physical reaction out of me - i will eventually read the entire manga but im having a good time rn

[youngpettyqueen]

Hi! "“and one more time”" for the WIP game?

ok im gonna cheat a little here cause "and one more time" is a sequel/part of a duo. hindsight being 20/20 I should've had it + "never again" together but I Did Not Think Of That

"never again" + "and one more time" are both gonna be really short oneshots that deal with the parallel scenes in MASH that make me the most insane- that being Trapper knocking Hawkeye down in Mail Call, and BJ punching Hawkeye in Period of Adjustment

I don't really have much written down for these besides the beginnings, so I'll put those down here...

"never again"

""Did I hit you?" Trapper asks out of nowhere.

Hawkeye looks up from putting his boot on. "Huh?"

Trapper is sitting on the edge of his cot, frowning with a look like he's studying him. "Yesterday, when I was... you know," He gestures vaguely, "Did I hit you?"

Hawkeye considers him for a moment. He was hoping Trapper wouldn't remember that little scene. He thinks about denying it on the off chance he might be able to convince him that it didn't happen, but he knows he waits too long to reply, because Trapper looks about the guiltiest he's ever seen him look.

He looks back to lacing up his boot. "You barely shoved me." He tells him quickly."

"and one more time"

""How's the eye?" BJ asks out of nowhere.

Hawkeye was wondering when that would come up. He's amazed BJ managed to go the entire OR session without mentioning it. He looks up from where he's sitting on the bench, finding BJ hovering close to him as he tosses away his mask.

"It's fine." He replies. It only hurts when he smiles a certain way, but he doesn't tell him that.

Doffing his cap and tossing it aside, BJ hunkers down to be more level with him. "Mind if I take a look?" He asks.

"Go ahead," Hawkeye invites, "It's really not that bad. Charles already looked me over." He reminds him.

BJ's frown tells him he's unconvinced. Hawkeye supposes he'd feel the same were he in his boots."

basically both of these have Hawkeye dealing with the aftermath of his best friends hurting him during drunken bouts of homesickness, because the parallel there is absolutely insane to me. i do wonder how deliberate it was, considering MASH is pretty famous for not really sticking with continuity, but regardless of if it was or not its still very very good

comparing both episodes is interesting to me because with Mail Call, Trapper shoving Hawkeye over and trying to desert is mostly played for laughs and quickly diffused. there's some tension in the scene but its ultimately not taken super seriously, and ends as soon as Frank comes in and gives Trapper something to laugh at. meanwhile in Period of Adjustment that is VERY much not the case, with that episode having very few laughs overall. one of those comparisons that really shows the tonal differences between the first 3 seasons vs season 4 and onward, especially getting into the later seasons of 8 and onward

I had the original inspiration for a bit of a different idea a few months ago when I first started reading fic actually, there was like... one mention in a fic I read of how Hawkeye is perceived as this easy target for everyone's anger. I wish I could remember which fic it was off the top of my head, I dont even remember what the fic itself was about, but I still think about it. cause like... yeah, Hawkeye is often the target of unfair anger, and thats not something that gets explored a whole lot within the show, so here I am 50 years later to write angsty fanfic about it

thanks for the ask!! hope you dont mind me bringing in another WIP haha but I figured it was relevant to digging into my intentions with them

#mash #fic bitching #ill say in the tags ive also been entertaining an idea in my head #of Potter and Hawkeye having a real talk about this exact thing #Hawkeye being the easy target for everyone's anger I mean #because I think it's actually very interesting when Potter is the one who lashes out at him #one of the episodes I got to recently in my rewatch was Pressure Points #and Hawkeye's reaction to Potter losing it on him in the middle of the mess tent... very interesting to me #anyways yes been entertaining an idea where they sit down in Potter's office in the aftermath of one of those instances #and there's a real discussion had about it #and Hawkeye's a lil bitter!! cause he's sick of being a punching bag!! #I havent put that down in the WIP list yet tho #I need to work through the other stuff already in there #this is a lot of tags lmao I have no self control

[infizero]

ok that final credits scene was awesome. sooooo cinematic so so cool. also can we talk about light hallucinating L right before he died

#I DO LIKE THAT. i think that was a really cool moment #but i still wouldve preferred if he had survived. but that was a cool sendoff to him. and also has a lot of interesting implications #relating to that whole thing of light almost like missing L after killing him bcuz no one is as ''fun'' #ANYWAYS. thats the end of death note HOORAYYYYY #while i didnt like a lot of this end stuff i will say i enjoyed this final episode #i dont like what led UP to it but regardless of near's involvement and stuff i rlly liked light's breakdown and matsuda's reaction to it #and the way light died and everything. i think with what they already had rolling they did a great job concluding the story #but yeah i def wish this final third had sort of gone down a little differently. oh well thats what fan content is for #i just know the fix-it fics go crazyyy #serena.txt #death note posting

@nocompromise-noregrets

Ellie - just a warning that you will probably want to strangle Armada (i had to take five minutes to scream) but she gets smacked down and also I CANNOT EVEN.

Armada: no really WHAT IS THE KARLIENE REYNOLDS SONG??

i had a name before him/i took it back/but his brand upon me/will never wash away/in the light of the sun and stars/i thought i might be holy moonlight/instead of tainted ground/an eagle collar about my neck.

RestorationistKingsLeftButtock: I DON’T KNOW BUT I HATE IT [one fear dot gif] because Thomas has been associated with the moon so much (Henry’s poetry, Anne’s - the motifs in their possessions) and Norwich’s personal coat of arms is an eagle owl.

TransCrozier: SHIT SHIT SHIT FUCK. FUCK. I am going to go and lay in the DIRT. AND EAT IT. Waiting is unbearable.

RestorationistKingsLeftButtock: Okay the watch party is over in #show-watch - it will contain spoilers, live reactions and memes. And PANICK.

PoppyMcGee: THE OPENING. THE OPENING. SHIT FUCK FUCK. Let me break this down.

the entire scene with john and thomas is horrific just horrific. the threat the menace that bruise he left.

and then thomas ripping off all the sheets and covers on his bed and that part with trying to scrub his skin i just…god that’s awful. James Frain you owe me for emotional damages.

how he knew to cover up the self harm scars and the bruises like WHAT DOES THIS MEAN (we know about his father but the scars are…that’s something else).

Armada: it must have been a really bad breakup like that is some bad blood (sorry for the taylor swift) between them to send thomas into that spiral.

TransCrozier: respectfully this is not ‘a bad breakup’ reaction and that is not someone reacting to a bad breakup related guilt. that is an abuser. Norwich is an abuser/was abusive. The way he so clearly used ‘you ruined any trace of me Antonius - when did you gain the notion that you could so ruin that which I own’ that is not romantic.

Armada: Like, I love you Rhi but no - it’s maybe not the healthiest but they were both younger then - Thomas was still early twenties and you don’t make the best decisions then and he’d come off an abusive childhood in the 16th century, I think what we are seeing is a breakdown about how he regrets how it ended/how he ended it specifically (also side note James is so pretty when he cries!)

RestorationistKingsLeftButtock:……OH SHIT ANNE. ANNE. ANNE.

PoppyMcGee: look i am not an Annewell shipper but the way she absolutely takes care of him - gives him the choice every step of the way! Tells him what she’s doing!

TransCrozier: I am a Triad OTPer as we all know (I just find Cromwich interesting as a multishipper) by now etc and just, THE LOVE. THE LOVE. THE WAY ANNE made sure to ask Thomas what coverings he didn’t want. Also I am soft for bathing scenes.

RestorationistKingsLeftButtock: AGREED RHI. AGREED SO HARD.

Armada: UGH ANNE DO WE HAVE TO SEE HER SO MUCH [Edit: I’m sorry I know the server doesn’t allow character hate but i just don’t like her or Cromannery. Or it’s not that i don’t like her but i don’t like her with Thomas].

Poppy McGee:….yeah i agree with you Essie - I want Anne to be the cool lesbian of my heart that she should be but i do love her taking care of thomas.

Armada: that bit was sweet but yeah, what poppy said. She doesn’t need men and she’s much worse for them! But what’s going on now.

RestorationistKingsLeftButtock:

“I was ten years old, my mother not long dead and my father was in need of funds and drink. Lord Norwich, as he was then offered him silver under a disguise so my father would not extort more funds out of him. I came into his household and thought myself landed somewhere better. He branded and bedded me for the first time that same day - I cut it out of me the day I took my chance and fled - five years almost to the day after.”

……I am going to be sick. I am going to be sick.

TransCrozier:

“I am but a tainted thing - he has been on and in every part of me - I could not speak of the shame, though I should have done - I should have never let you, let either of you think I was worthy of you, Your Majesty. I am so sorry.”

THOMAS BLAMES HIMSELF. HE STILL BLAMES HIMSELF I AM GOING TO RESURRECT NORWICH AND KILL HIM AGAIN MYSELF AND THEN REPEAT IT AGAIN.

RestorationistKingsLeftButtock: ANNE YOUR RESPONSE I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU. NATALIE DORMER YOU GORGEOUS GORGEOUS HUMAN BEING.

TransCrozier: AMINA YOU ARE SO CORRECT. Queen Anne you perfect glorious woman I am once again AT YOUR FEET.

RestorationistKingsLeftButtock: hi @everyone i checked the history from several reputable sources (see here, here and here) and this is real. the show did not make it up - it’s just a recent discovery. Which i did not know about :(.

TransCrozier: neither did I i went in because RUPERT and then kind of fell into adoration - like obviously we all know triad is endgame because duh, history but i knew nothing else.

PoppyMcGee: I didn’t want to believe it :(. But I checked and it’s true :(. It’s fucking true. Norwich did that and he has no remorse.

RestorationistKingsLeftButtock: also fyi to several people who I’ve had to talk to about this - no ten was very much considered a child in the 16th century. Even fifteen was not ‘fully adult’ as such. This is rape and child sexual abuse and if you spout any more denial about that I will ban you.

TransCrozier: AMINA I AM KISSING YOU ON THE MOUTH. Also the fact that Anne volunteers to tell Henry, reassures Thomas that he won’t be angry just destroyed me all over again. CANNOT WAIT FOR THE POST SHOW CONTENT TO DESTROY ME AGAIN. ALSO HENRY’S REACTION.

Armada: …okay whatever. Sorry for having opinions i guess. can i even just say that even if it is abusive the triad is equally abusive.

#lil and her ridiculous aus #ot3: political power trio #fic #tudors ot3 verse reference #i have been attempting to not spoil what i’m going to write content wise so we don’t get henry’s reaction #(i think the episode ends with anne going to tell him but i don’t know exactly how that goes)

There are lots of different kinds of love, and until Dusk shows up, it doesn’t matter which kind it is that Laudna feels for Imogen. Set shortly after episode 25.
