PLEASE drop your emotional support steddie fics i need some recs

god i feel like i’m really about to out myself but here we go!!!! i just spent half an hour going through my bookmarks and history on ao3 and here are a bunch i’ve loved!! could name more but here’s a handful of fics and series i’ve loved!! sorry this is long!!

literally anything by oonionchiver. my favourite fic of theirs is you’re divine. vampire!eddie post events of s4, very smutty, soooo well written. anything they write makes me cry. like probably one of the best writers i’ve ever seen. just go through their whole master list and spend weeks diving into the hundreds of thousands of words they’ve written HOWEVER!!! their writing is very graphic. pls pls pls take the time to read the content warnings!!!! very very angsty always BUT happy ending literally always guaranteed!!!

money, power, glory by anonymous. this was the first steddie fic i read and i started it back in september and it’s just finishing up now. the characterization is chefs kiss and so is the angst!!!!! also very graphic, (eddie is literally selling blowjobs in a bar bathroom), so pls read content warnings. some angsty moments, i also enjoy the background chrissy x robin in this one.

dom eddie series by eddywow. i’m gonna be real with you this is just straight porn. like not straight porn as in the hets but i mean just. porn. very graphic porn. there is plot interwoven between each one shot but uh. the main event is the porn. but it’s very well written porn!!! and again. read content warnings. each fic in the series has a different theme, so some may float your boat more than others!!!

camp folktale, summer of ‘86 by cairparavels. gay cryptid summer camp in the 80s. enemies to lovers. some miscommunication. literally it’s just summer and they’re gay. it’s fun. everyone makes an appearance. each chapter has a different theme. lots of background relationships too. karen wheeler is a lesbian agenda. just nice and warm and fun.

the shire is NOT on fire by kissesforcas. the party goes to a renfaire!! very good very nice nerdy fun. not super smut heavy but just like. wow. everyone’s happy. steve’s shirtless 99% of the time because eddie designed his renfaire costume and is pushing an agenda. just nice!!

sticky notes by voidpacifist. after all his fights, steve loses his hearing. metal is the only music he can kind of hear. him and eddie communicate through sticky notes. very cute, but has its angsty moments. steve is dealing with trauma that the duffers can’t seem to let him acknowledge in the show. soft!!

send you all my dreams by boundicamuse. this one is so soft and so cute and so unique!!! basically it’s told like. through notes and letters. really no dialogue. and follows the progression of eddie and steve’s relationship while eddie’s on tour. love love loved it.

the most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it’s you by greatunironic. god. GOD!!!!! this fic takes place in 2002. max asks steve to walk her down the aisle. a lot happens. this fic broke me. this fic made me sob in my bed for half an hour. it actually destroyed me. i thought about it for days after. and it’s one of the best things i have ever read. like it hurts so good!!!!!
