Single dad Eddie calls his daughter’s teacher in the middle of the night, “Yeah sorry to bother you Mr. Harrington, I know it’s the rule to keep the class pet in its cage when it’s our turn to take him home, but long story short, there's a ferret loose in my house and I need help finding it or Sir Butterscotch is gonna be absent from class forever."

And that’s how Eddie, who’s been trying to stifle the stupid crush he has on his daughter’s teacher (he’s also the baseball coach which makes it even worse ahem better) ends up with a hot ex-jock moving furniture around his living room like it’s nothing at 3am, while he stands there like an idiot in his Garfield pajamas.

Not to mention, Steve also has a daughter that he had to bring along because it’s the middle of the night and she’s not happy about it. Hands on her hips, that same pose that Eddie has memorized Steve doing on the sidelines, interrogating him about why he wasn’t following the rules.

Then Eddie’s daughter wakes up from all the noise and says, “Oh yay Dad, you finally got Mr. Harrington to come on a date with you!” And when Steve smirks at Eddie god damn it, he just blurts out that he found the ferret oh wait that’s a feather duster haha better keep looking.

when steve is sick, he hides it until it’s so bad that everyone else just figures it out on their own. it’s a side effect of being independent for so long

he’s not used to asking for help

the first time steve voluntarily tells eddie he has a cold, robin sobs because she knows it’s love

Inspired by this.

A!Eddie was surprised when popular O!Steve came up and asked if he could court him. Don’t get him wrong he had no problem with an Omega doing the asking. He actually found that really hot. What he couldn’t wrap his brain around is why Steve would ask HIM. He was Eddie the Freak and he said as much to Steve. He thought he wouldn’t have to explain any further than that because Steve would instantly realize what a colossal mistake it would be to associate with him, turn around and pretend THIS never happened. Instead Steve launched into all the ways he himself was a freak, a loser and genuinely uncool. When he got done Eddie was shocked and more turned on than ever. He immediately told Steve that he’d pick him up at 6 on Friday and left to start to plan what he hoped would be the most perfect date for his omega.

Steddie s first kid is a boy, they're out with him and he starts having a meltdown/throwing a tantrum as kids do and some mom with a couple kids in tow come up and makes some comment about 'dad babysitting' completely ignoring the other one and starts trying to help calm the kid down by telling him things like 'big boys don't cry'

They're both like fuck all the way off with that shit he's a kid and a person he's allowed emotions and express them

[fishyselkie]

steve gets nervous his first time asking a guy out

[fishyselkie]

oh my god steddie announcing they’re gonna have a baby and one of the kids yells “STEVE’S PREGNANT?! YOU GOT STEVE PREGNANT?!” and it’s quiet for a moment then eddie starts HOWLING with laughter and steve has to be like “uh-☝️no,” while also fighting back laughing.

then the mistake is obvious and whoever it is (dustin or mike let’s be honest), is, at first, embarrassed scoffing their shoe like“it’s not that funny guys,” while everyone is cackling. then realizes how dumb of a response it was and starts laughing with them.

A fantasy story of a hero on an epic quest to recover a memory that they have lost - the wizard who wiped it out told them that returning the memory is not within their power. The protagonist specifically asked to have the memory removed, and if they want it back, they must quest to the house of another wizard on the opposite side of the realm, who is capable of such things.

Once the protagonist finally completes this quest, and regains the memory, they see that it was a huge mistake. This memory is horrifying, awful, it brings no fulfillment nor solace and offers no answer or explanation that they wouldn't have already had. It is not worth having, not worth remembering. They ask the wizard to take it back, undo the spell they just did. The wizard that returned the memory says that they cannot do that any more than they could unpour water. To have it wiped off, the protagonist must journey back to the first wizard.

It is heavily implied that this isn't the first time this has happened. As a matter of fact it's been happening for quite a while now. The two wizards keep sending this poor motherfucker back and forth across the realm just to annoy each other.

Stuff my camp kids did during snack free time today from most to least expected.

1. Eat their snack (the primary thing they are expected to do)

2. Ships and sailors (normal camp game)

3. Big kids sang the National anthem in four part harmony while the little kids buried a tenth grader in leaves and grass. (I put these together because these events clearly were connected but I’m not sure how)

4. Held a “funeral” where the girl was resurrected by everyone singing “Love Story” over her dead body.

5. Turned on “fire ambiance eight hours” on somebody’s phone, buried the phone completely in sticks in the shape of a campfire, and roleplayed as monkeys/cavemen discovering fire for the first time.

O!Steve is pregnant w Tommy's baby out of wedlock & he knows Tommy will use the pregnancy as a means to essentially trap him in a horrible marriage he doesn't want.

It's 1969, abortion is now newly safe & legal in California so Steve makes a decision. B!Robin helps as he gathers all the cash he has hidden away under the floorboard in his closet; Christmas money, birthday money, and painstakingly saved wages plus tips from working the ice cream shop every summer. Robin gives him all of the tips she'd saved as well.

All they need now is a ride out of town & all the way to California. Steve’s car is recognizable & registered to his father. Robin can't drive except for her bicycle, but she is skilled at reading a road map. There's no one they can rlly trust with the truth of their destination, till A!Eddie Munson stumbles upon them on the side of the road by the Hawkins sign.

He recognizes them, they of course recognize him, and he reveals he's skipping town to bum around California following music festivals and chasing fame. Robin tries lying for them saying they're just headed to California for a summer anywhere but Hawkins. Eddie doesn't seem to believe them, throwing glances Steve's way.

After 3 days they scrounge together some money for a motel room & they all finally get the chance to shower. Eddie takes the opportunity while Robin is showering to bring up tht Steve is obviously pregnant. He promises he won't say anything again after he gets an answer to his question: is Steve safe if he returns to Hawkins without a baby?

Steve breaks down into sobs as he admits out loud tht no he's not safe in Hawkins at all. Not even in his childhood home. That while he does want to b a mom he doesn't want to b one yet, doesn't want to have a child with this person, doesn't want to end up married to someone who'd only restrict his few freedoms till there was only a shell left behind. Robin comes out of the shower to find Steve crying in Eddie's arms.

Eddie vows to them both he'll help Steve get to California.

Eventually they get to San Francisco & Eddie goes w Steve to a clinic. The procedure is done with Steve holding Eddie's hand. In the end Steve asks to b w Eddie through the summer & Robin goes back to Indiana on a bus w promises tht Steve will write to her. Noone pretends Steve or Eddie will go back to Indiana ever again. A summer of music festivals in California turns into autumn in a town outside Seattle & Eddie’s found work in a mechanics shop while Steve waits tables at a diner. They've found a place to live, and got their mating officially registered at the courthouse. In their free time Steve paints and Eddie plays his acoustic guitar. Till three years have passed & they decide they're both ready for a baby.

Their little girl is born with ten fingers and ten toes on May 18th, 1971. Exactly 3 years to the day tht Eddie let a pregnant Steve & worried Robin into his van on his way to California.

the bar might be on the floor for men, but alpha Eddie being pro-choice, supportive, and helping omega Steve get the abortion he needs to be safe will always make me melt😭💕

Happy Halloween friends!

I've finally finished my first steddie fic! You can read it here.

We are so back!

Rejection sickness is probably my all-time favorite trope from Omegaverse and as suck I love to inflict it on my favorite guy, Steve.

His parents aren't around, he goes through a secondary pack breakup, his Alpha says she doesn't love him and then cheats on him, he gets the shit beaten out of him, and he becomes the only leader of a secondary pack of feral middle schoolers all in the span of about a year. Omegas crave stability and they need pack and by the end of season two, Steve has been rejected by an Alpha he had a quasi-bond with and put through a level of mental and physical stress most Omegas, most Alphas even, will never come close to experiencing in their entire lives before he's 18.

The whole thing results in a rapid and brutal drop the likes of which Hawkins general has never dealt with. One minute he's getting checked for a concussion and the next he's collapsing on the floor. When he wakes up he's disoriented, confused, in a shit load of pain and alarm bells are ringing in his ears for no discernable reason. His instincts are going wild and his body is pumping out obscene amounts of distress pheromones, calling for an Alpha to help him and the longer his distress goes without being answered the more he drops. The doctors and nurses are clamoring to get him hooked up with hormone stabilizers, but they can only do so much for an Omega this deep in a drop.

Eventually, they do stabilize him but it's not going to be enough to bring him back. The mixture of physical and emotional distress means his body is trying to shut down on all fronts, leaving him in a kind of limbo at risk of slipping away completely. The kids all come and try to bring him back with pack scents and cuddling but while it does help it's not enough to bring Steve all the way back, even when he's trying so hard to just snap out of it so he can be there for his pups.

The hospital tries to find him a suitable Alpha match to be his caretaker and walk him back from the edge, but his extreme state makes him highly sensitive to unfamiliar scents and none of them end up working out. In a last-ditch effort, the hospital reaches out to his former Alpha, Nancy, with the hopes that if the Alpha who triggered the drop takes care of him his Omega hindbrain will be convinced that they have been taken back and proven themselves a good Omega.

Nancy agrees, guilt-ridden by her part in Steve's condition even if she knows it's not entirely because of her rejection, agrees to try and bring Steve back.

It has the complete opposite effect. As soon as Nancy enters the room Steve starts making the most heartbreaking distressed sounds, whimpering and crying out and eventually starting to thrash around and aggravate his wounds in his attempts to hide away in the corner of his hospital bed.

Nancy is immediately ushered out while the nurses try their best to get Steve stable again, but it's not looking good.

Fortunately for them all, Alpha Eddie Munson happens to be at the hospital stopping in with Wayne who's visiting a coworker who got injured on the job. He's waiting out in the hallway giving them space when the most heartwrenching cries break the silence. His instincts immediately go into overdrive because that is an Omega in extreme distress and his Alpha needs to help them now.

He gets to the room at the end of the hall to see Steve Harrington of all people surrounded by medical staff all trying desperately to calm him down. Before the nurses can spot him and get him to leave the room Eddie is emitting calming pheromones on max and crooning into the room. The staff are preparing to haul him out when they notice that Steve is starting to settle.

The Omega has stopped his thrashing and I looking at Eddie with big, pleading eyes. He looks at the Alpha like he's water in the desert, the one thing he's been searching desperately for. Eddie doesn't know Steve all that well but seeing the way the other Omega starts reaching for him from his sick bed he doesn't hesitate to push past the hospital staff and scoop the Omega into his arm.

Steve immediately buries his nose in Eddie's neck to get as close to that perfectly comforting scent as possible. It isn't long before he's sobbing with relief into Eddie's shirt. Finally, finally, a safe Alpha has come to help him. Eddie holds him and coos at him while he gets it out, snarling at the medical staff when they try to get close enough to check on their patient. Eventually, Steve's sobs taper off into soft whimpers which turn into sleepy purrs and kneading hands.

Eddie ends up staying with Steve, keeping him stable through the rest of his recovery. He never leaves Steve's side, and by the time Steve is finally ready to be discharged from the hospital Eddie presents him with his first courting offer, his mother's ring which just so happens to fit perfectly on the right finger of Steve's left hand.

if disliking omegaverse whump, omega drops, rejection sickness, and hurt/comfort is wrong, then i don’t wanna be right🥺

Eddie performs at the school talent show and anybody who can parse out the lyrics from the screamy vocals and the shitty sound system is just like, “Is this about Steve Harrington?”

Steve, who cannot do that, is just like, “This sounds really bad.”

every year on halloween middle-aged eddie sends something like this to the group chat with steve, robin, and nancy:

eddie: happy 29 years of steve and nancy being broken up 🎉

eddie: here’s to the big three-oh

robin: i’ll toast to that

robin: we better make it to 30 years

robin: @ steve

steve: ???

steve: robin wtf

[fishyselkie]

when steve and eddie announce to the family that they're dating, dustin freaks out. not because they're gay, but steve and eddie? dating??

he eventually accepts it when he realizes he basically has two older brothers now and he doesn't have to choose between them because they already chose each other.

unbeknownst to dustin, steve and eddie are constantly fighting about who gets to do what with dustin.

steve comes home from giving dustin a ride somewhere and eddie is sitting on the bed all grumpy, complaining about steve being dustin's favorite, and steve explains that he's known dustin longer.

eddie comes home from a day at the arcade with dustin and steve is sitting on the couch all grumpy, complaining about eddie being dustin's new favorite, and eddie just cackles and says it's true.

dustin thinks steve and eddie dating has solved the jealousy issue until one day, they're hosting a dinner at steve's house for the whole family and dustin asks if steve can take him to the store. eddie scoffs and this starts a whole argument that is very confusing for dustin.

to shut them up, he asks, "why don't you both take me?"

they never argue about dustin again.
