Archive Warning: No Warnings

Tags: Post-Season/Series 04, Trauma Recovery, Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a Happy Ending, Touch-Starved Eddie Munson, Touch-Averse Eddie Munson, (yes both and yes he is going through it thanks for asking), Healing Sex, Slow Burn, (find your patience you will need it), Found Family, Post-Possession, Eddie Munson as Kas the Betrayer (Dungeons & Dragons), (not really but also sort of I'm doing my spin on it shhh), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, Sleep Paralysis, (in a sci-fi sort of way), Eddie Munson Character Study, Protective Steve Harrington, Motorcycle Guy Eddie, mechanic!steve

Summary:

“I can’t— I’m— not safe, not safe—” “You are safe,” Nancy says. She’s so certain, right there on the other side of the door with god knows who else listening to his breakdown— she’s so certain and she doesn’t understand— “You aren’t,” he implores, and he’s not crying but he is and he’s also not breathing, but that wouldn’t make sense because he’s definitely still alive. Eddie knows what it is to be dead now and he knows it doesn’t hurt damn near this much. In fact, being dead doesn’t hurt at all when it’s put up against the fucking torment of waking back up in a body that doesn’t belong to you anymore. -- Vecna asks Eddie to share his body with a being called Kas, but Eddie never gets much of a say in the matter. In the aftermath, it's hard to remember what having a say in the matter means.

Thanks for the rec!

ST Events Updates - April Recap

This is a recap with a link to each page with the events that I know!

As always feel free to reblog and add events I might have missed!

Steddie Events - April Update Harringrove Events - April Update Other events: General, Rare Pairs, Character Centered Events - April Update

This time I have three shout out.

One for my beloved @feedthefandomfest that gives us some funny bingo cards to fill by commenting on fics!

One for @steddieunderdogfics that every week promotes new fics and new authors. I know that's not exactly an event but they need our help and support to find new fics for their challanges so keep an eye on their page.

Last but not least a big shout out for @harringrove-cafe that every weekend delivers incredible drinks and sweets! All you have to do is fill their form (it can be anonymous) and send a treat to the blog that you want!

And that's all for today! As always a big THANK YOU to all the people behind each one of them!

final fic rec of 2023

BUT INSTEAD.

I have loved doing weekly fic recs for everyone and will continue to do it every Thursday, but for the last Thursday of 2023, I wanna take this time to give everyone the opportunity to reblog this post with YOUR fic recs!

If you'd prefer to give love to a fic in another way, follow @steddieunderdogfics and send them in! There are so many fun challenges coming up with that blog and the mod is working sooooo hard to make sure we have plenty of content every single day.

As a reminder, writers and artists in fandom are doing things they want to do for free. While it is fun, sometimes people really suck. Show them love and appreciation as often as you can, especially when you really enjoyed something they put time into creating! Like, reblog, kudos, comment, send them a nice message! I promise it will make their day to hear from you 💖

Also a note about being kind to mods running blogs, especially those with writing or art challenges. It takes a lot to run a blog, especially when doing it by yourself, and it's done to add something fun to the fandom. The more time mods spend dealing with rude comments and messages, the less time they spend providing fun, and at a certain point, it becomes not fun at all and then everyone loses out on something that was meant to be exciting. If you don't like the rules, don't participate. It's that simple.

Stay tuned for some amazing things in 2024!

Summary:

"Five days since Steve’s accidental outing. Five days of pretending to act completely normal like he wasn’t having a coronary. They hadn’t really talked about it again. Because Eddie refused to let it be a big deal. He didn’t want Steve to freak out. But now everything was…magnified, intensified, exaggerated. Like now, he was hyperaware that their thighs were touching as they sank into the fabric. Five days of really cold showers. Steve shifted, threw a leg into Eddie’s lap to be more comfortable. Because it had never mattered before, because they were close friends, because physical contact was not an issue. Because Steve wouldn’t pop a fucking boner with his roommate sitting on him." In other words, it's senior year at the University of Indiana. And Eddie just found out his roommate of four years, his best friend, the guy he's head over heels for--likes dudes too.

Tell Eddie He Looks Sexy With His Hair Pushed Back by Wormdebut

Summary:

Steve was currently mid crisis because— “His hair is up. Oh my god. Robin it’s—he—Oh my god. I gotta go to the back and scream into the void or something I absolutely cannot—“ Robin cut him off. “You’re literally so embarrassing. I have never seen you be this pathetic actually. If we still had the You Suck board I would simply be blacking out the entire side. I will go talk to him again. Stay here and try not to drool.” -- Or, Steve has a thing for the hot guy that keeps coming into his workplace, and the hot guy might possibly have a thing for him too. (He does.)

[steddieunderdogfics]

Hello everyone!!

We as the mod team have LOVED running this space but it really does rely on fans sending in recs! We can supply some but there’s no way that we can do the level we need by ourselves.

The last few challenge Mondays and theme weekends have been a struggle to put out. We’re only receiving one or two asks for each request, and maybe one or two on the days of when we’ve already filled all the slots.

We also just don’t have recs coming in anymore! They trickle in, but we’ve had to cut back on our posting to keep things going longer.

For now, we’re going to keep trying to get the challenges and themes out, to keep running the space as it is now, but it may come down to discontinuing these challenges!

Thank you all for understanding!

#steddie fic rec #steddieunderdogfics

[steddieunderdogfics]

This week’s writer spotlight feature is: @thefreakandthehair! With thirty-nine works in the Steve/Eddie and Stranger Things tags on Archive of our Own!

In an underdogfics first, we have TWO nominators!

Our first nominator recommends the following works by @thefreakandthehair:

this is my month, I can feel it. october, baby!

never been afraid of any deviation.

scar-crossed lovers.

the answers are all inside of this.

Our second nominator, @sidekick-hero, recommends the following works by @thefreakandthehair:

over the hills and far away

meeting you was coming home.

make no plans and none can be broken.

rounding third, sliding home.

what's mine is yours (to leave or take)

Lex's brain is full of very creative scenarios, reading her writing is like reading an anthology of short stories but it's with all of your favorite characters! You get to see what they'd do in this AU or that AU, I love the exploration. It's like she's made a stew and it's simmering on the stove and you realize you're so hungry for stew as soon as you see it. <3 -- anonymous

Lex writes characters that come to life on the page while you're reading her stories. It makes it so easy to get invested in them, to feel with them and root for them to get their happy ending. She's one of these authors I would follow anywhere, any trope, any setting and universe, I am here for it. So I think more people should get to find her stories and be treated to the magic. -- @sidekick-hero

Below the cut, @thefreakandthehair answered some questions about their writing process and some of their recommended work!

Why do you write Steddie?

How can I possibly give just one reason! These two burrowed themselves into my brain like little gerbils with no hope of ever getting them out. I mean, was I supposed to hear ‘dontcha big boy?’ and be normal about it? But in all seriousness, they’re two sides of the same coin and those oppositions in character are super fun to play with!

What’s your favorite trope to READ?

It was tough to choose, but friends to lovers keeps coming up!

What’s your favorite trope to WRITE?

If I have to choose a particular trope, hurt/comfort would be the closest fit, but in the sense of healing past hurts together as a unit.

What’s your favorite Steddie fic?

This question sent me into an existential crisis and the best I could do is narrow it down to three, and even that was nearly impossible. In no particular order: We’ll Know For The First Time by KikiZ; carve your name into my chest by hexiewrites; and more recently, Among the Wildflowers by ParadimeShifts.

Is there a trope you’re excited to explore in a future work but haven’t yet?

Rivals to Lovers in my football AU! I’ve been so excited to get moving on that one.

What is your writing process like?

Oh, I wish I had a better one. I start with a skeleton outline, pop on some music, and then pick and choose which part of the outline sparks joy in that moment. I rarely, if ever, write chronologically so I just write what feels good in the moment and then go back with a scalpel to create connective tissue.

Do you have any writing quirks?

Definitely writing out of order, I think! And if there’s one thing about me, it’s that someone is gonna have an introspective moment looking up at the stars. Someone told me it’s like my calling card and they’re not wrong.

Do you prefer posting when you’ve finished writing or on a schedule?

I like a bit of both. I like to post on a schedule for multi-chapter fics but only after it’s either completely done or mostly done so that there’s no pressure to it.

Which fic are you most proud of?

Over The Hills And Far Away incorporated some personal bits of my past that were equal parts cathartic and difficult to write at times, so I’d have to say that one! It’s really satisfying to take experiences that you regret or that didn’t end the way you’d hoped and give them a different ending in fiction.

How did you get the idea for never been afraid of any deviation?

The Eddie Month prompt for that day! Me and my co-mod for the event, nostalgicbones, included Bad Reputation by Joan Jett as a prompt and as I was listening to it, it got me thinking about how Eddie is someone who cares for those in less than ideal situations— maybe even to the point of weaponizing his own bad reputation to protect someone. In this case, that was Steve!

When writing the answers are all inside of this, what was something you didn’t expect?

I didn’t expect it to become multiple chapters! That one is part of my So Much For Stardust series (that I haven’t forgotten about, I’ve just been busy with big bangs) so it was based on The Pink Seashell interlude from the album. I still don’t know exactly how a 1-minute interlude turned into a 15k multi-chapter fic, but it was super fun to let go off the rails!

What inspired scar-crossed lovers?

Also a So Much For Stardust series fic, the first one in the series, actually. I heard Heaven, Iowa for the first time and wrote this based on that song in a day. My brain just kept rotating it around like a rotisserie chicken until I wrote it.

What was your favorite part to write from scar-crossed lovers?

This is ironic because I’m not an angst-writer by nature, but writing about the slow deterioration of Eddie’s van as a symbol for the passage of time was really fun to do. Bittersweet, but it was one of those things that I didn’t realize I was doing until I was in the middle of it and once I realized, I just carried it throughout!

How do/did you feel writing never been afraid of any deviation.?

Excited! It was the first time that I wrote pre-s4 steddie (which is wild that in two years, I just wrote that for the first time last fall?) and it was so fun to do!

What was the most difficult part of writing the answers are all inside of this.?

Probably balancing the kids’ voices in the first chapter while still creating tension between Steve and Eddie.

Do you have a favorite scene and/or line from any of your fics?

It isn’t one of the fics listed here, but in no better version I could pretend to be tonight, I loved writing the line “Something about Steve feels like home, and Eddie is only familiar with houses.” Hurt/comfort, my beloved.

Do you have any upcoming projects or fics you’d like to share/promote?

I’m planning on taking a break from big bangs for a bit to focus on some super neglected WIPs, so there are a few upcoming fics I’m excited about! My Football AU, an ASMR Artist!Eddie x Insomniac!Steve AU, and I’m working on a fic called Pickup Note with sidekick-hero and firefly-party that I cannot wait to dive into fully.

Outside of these questions, Is there anything YOU would like to add?

Just thank you so much for all that you do with this blog! The ship truly exploded overnight and there are so many incredible stories that I’ve completely missed just because they’ve fallen through the cracks. I really appreciate what you’re doing here and the undertaking that it’s been!

Thank you to our author, @thefreakandthehair, and our nominators, anonymous and @sidekick-hero! See more of @thefreakandthehair works featured on our page throughout the day!

Summary:

“This is something I never thought I’d have to say, but I’m sure your dick is perfectly fine just the way it is,” Eddie tried to reassure him and while Steve appreciated his attempt, it was hard to argue with the overwhelming number of signs that disputed it. “You don’t know what you’re talking about here, Eddie. Trust me.” “I kind of do, though? I wouldn’t call myself like, a dick expert or anything like that, but I have seen more than my fair share of them over the years, in all shapes and colors and sizes,” Eddie insisted. “I can promise you that yours is nothing that I haven’t seen before.” “Why don’t you take a look then?” Steve said before he could stop himself, and nearly slapped a hand over his mouth when he realized it came out sounding a lot more serious rather than sarcastic like he’d originally intended. Or, the one in which Steve has a big dick and it's a problem

Steve is a male Omega who wants to study ballet at the Performing Arts Academy in New York, and who is trying to find a job that pays enough to cover his school fees. Nancy is a female Alpha, who wants to study journalism. Eddie is the youngest teacher at the New York Performing Arts Academy .

what is even the point of this page if ur going to feature some of the most popular authors in the fandom that have stories with 200k hits. change your name or actually rec underdogs

I rec fics that I’m given! If you know of an amazing author who isn’t getting attention, then rec them!!! Want to see an author for writers Wednesday? Then nominate them!!!

There are about 60 asks from the other day that I’m still working through plus theme weekend and next challenge Monday! Hopefully there’s a lot of variety coming up.

But since you brought this up… I’m not responding to asks like this anymore. Ever. They’re getting deleted immediately and I refuse to engage with more negative anons unless you have an actual concern.

Managing this page takes a lot as is, plus I work a full time job and have my own stories to write (which for the record, I will never rec my own work due to bias, even if it’s recommended by others) so I’m not reading as much as I would like. Most of my latest reads have been recs from this page!

So yes, we’ve gotten a lot of popular fics but an underdog means something different to everyone. If the same handful of people are reccing fics, then you’re probably going to see common names.

Bottom line, if you’re not willing to rec fics yourself, then fuck off with the negativity.

Thanks for the “support” though.

Eddie fumbled his way into Rise and Grind, the poor coffee shop had the disservice of being neighbors with Convicted Ink. He truly wasn't sure how to even order this shit, but if getting his shitty boss and his little minions caffeine was going to get him into a fucking chair to actually tattoo, fine. It was fine. Or, Eddie is an apprentice at a terrible tattoo shop and the only thing that keeps him sane, is the pretty barista at the coffee shop next door.

These past few days have been amazing! I've taken the time to really decide how I was going to move forward with this space and that starts now!

NO MORE CRITERIA! You may have already seen this, but here's the official announcement! Submit fics you want and YOU decide what an "underdog" fic really is. This was kind of my original idea, but I figured the criteria would help everyone have a jumping point to submit. That didn't work, but it's okay! Now we can just celebrate all the fics without any numbers pressuring us!

Starting in January, there will be a posting schedule! Every day you'll get several recommendations a day, but there will be certain days that are dedicated to different events. Like...

CHALLENGE MONDAYS - Each Friday we will challenge you all to a challenge. Each week will be a little different, but they will always be based around submitting recommendations. On Monday, all the fics posted will be from that challenge! You can suggest challenges here.

WRITERS WEDNESDAYS - Each Wednesday, we'll highlight one author! This author will answer some questions and all the recommendations from that day will be from this author. You can nominate authors here.

FIC FRIDAYS - On weeks without a theme weekend, I'll be giving my personal recs! Not every fic will be from me, but there will be at least two of my personal recs! Challenges will also go up EVERY Friday and we'll announce the theme for the NEXT week!

THEME WEEKENDS - Every other weekend, I'll pause the queue and only post only for a particular theme on Saturday and Sunday! Themes can be voted on here and we'll be announced the Friday before.

I've also changed how I'll be categorizing the fics to show what has been submitted. There will be a page organized by authors and another organized by title. The ratings and tags were just a bit ambitious! I'll still be tagging the actual posts with key tags though!

This may be a lot right now, but this is the best way I can incorporate all of the ideas I have for this page! Will things change in the future? Absolutely! If these ideas don't pan out, then we'll stick to the regular fic recs, but it's fun to give it a try!

Thank you all for bearing with me!!! I've received a ton of support over the last few days and after taking the space to figure out what I wanted to do, it's been wonderful getting back into this.

You can submit fics through our asks and our submissions here!

MODS WANTED

Things are picking up over here and with a few personal changes, I need to find a mod (or two) to help maintain this space.

I'm not looking for anything specific, just someone who is excited about this space and has the time/drive to help with it.

You can fill out the interest form here.

Thanks everyone!!
