steddie request! pre steddie during a pool day eddie feels cute aggression and bites the back of steve's shoulder and surprises him

It should be ILLEGAL, Eddie thinks, for Steve Harrington to allowed out into polite company, much less in a community pool where innocent eyes could gaze upon him. Objectively, sure, Eddie knows that those little pink swim shorts aren't any more scandalous that what anyone else is wearing today. Ted Wheeler is knocked out on a lounge chair with only a speedo. But it's Steve. And Eddie's doing his best to rehab his image in Hawkins, so drooling after the local Harrington prince wasn't going to help.

Never mind that it was Steve who drug Eddie out into Satan's crack that is Indiana summer in August. He'd made a good case about it, too—something, something, being seen doing good in front of all the moms at the community pool, something, something, Holly's birthday party, yada yada. Honestly, Eddie didn't hear most of it, lost in Steve's stupid, beautiful brown eyes.

What was Eddie going to say? No?? Be for real.

That was how Eddie found himself sat on a deck chair (thankfully one with an umbrella), in his jeans next to a cooler, handing little girls juice boxes and snacks when demanded of him.

Holly Wheeler must befriends with the entire elementary school, Jesus Christ.

Steve himself, in his aforementioned pink swim trunks, was playing as pool jungle gym and had kids crawling all over him. It helped a lot to keep Eddie from drooling after him, but didn't do a lot for Eddie's heart.

Worse than Steve being hot, was Steve being cute. Eddie couldn't take it. He was going to die.

Steve had one of the smaller kids perched on his hip, held safely up out of the splash zone, while the rest of the hoard took turns climbing up onto his shoulders and using him like a diving board, his free hand guiding them safely into the water as they jumped. It looked like hell to Eddie, but Steve was grinning ear to ear, rating each jump with a booming cheer that had all the kids screaming around him with each splash.

"Um, excuse me," snaps a little girl in front of Eddie. He glances down and feels like he's looking at a mini Erica Sinclair, her hands on her hips and scowling. A chilling sight.

"Whatcha need, shrimp?" Eddie sighs, flipping the cooler lid up to take another order. "We're out of red barrels, and our stock of blue is going fast."

She eyes him skeptically for a moment before her little shoulders slump. "Fine, I guess I'll take the blue."

"Here you go," he says, pulling the foil off for her since little wrinkled baby fingers have yet to manage it all day. "Now be gone with ye."

Treating him with another incredibly bitchy look for a third grader, she bounds off just as a shadow appears over Eddie. A wet arm hooks over Eddie's shoulders, just as Steve crashes into the deck chair beside him, too small for two nearly full grown men, the plastic creaking ominously. Steve is practically in Eddie's lap.

"Harrington, what the fuck," Eddie squawks, cold pool water soaking into his clothes because Steve is dripping wet.

"What the language, Munson," Steve says, still grinning, looking at Eddie with those brown eyes. His face is round and a little pink, and he's so close that Eddie can see the faint trail of summer freckles across his nose. He's so beautiful, and he looks so happy and excited to have Eddie's attention. "There's little ears—OW WHAT THE FUCK!"

Eddie opens his jaw and yanks his head back, almost as shocked with himself as Steve. He can taste pool water in his mouth. There's a line of pink teeth-marks on Steve tanned shoulder.

"Uh," Eddie says.

"Did..." Steve starts. He leans back a little, still half in Eddie's lap, to gape down at him. "Did you just... bite me?"

"Y-Yeah," Eddie breathes. "Whoops."

"Whoops?" Steve repeats, brows high on his forehead. "Why the hell did you bite me?"

"You're very bitable." Eddie's going to drown himself in the pool at this rate. "You're too cute. I had to bite you."

He watches as Steve's eyes narrow, watches as Steve begins to suss him out. Eddie's still too shocked with himself to do anything, can't even panic, because he's that much of an idiot and his brain has gone completely offline. Because Eddie bit Steve Harrington and then called him cute, Jesus Humphrey Christ.

Then Steve leans down, slowly, until his face is right in Eddie's, and an insane thought goes through Eddie's brain. I bit Steve Harrington, told him he was cute, and now he's going to kiss me.

Except Steve bypasses Eddie's face and lands his lips against Eddie's neck, where he then tries to take his own pound of flesh.

Eddie screeches.

Distantly, he recognizes what a weird blessing it is that they're at the community pool, surrounded half the elementary school, all of them screeching and screaming and splashing. Everyone is completely oblivious to whatever homosexual nightmare is happening to Eddie right now.

"You're pretty cute yourself, Ed," Steve says into the small space next to his ear. And then he's up and standing between one breath and the next. "We really gotta teach you some manners though," he says, grinning, before he turns and dives into the pool.

"Y-Yeah," Eddie says weakly in his absence. He can feel Steve's spit on his neck, rapidly drying the summer heat, the bite mark aching with promise.

How do you feel about Light x female!L? I always thoughts that's such a fun dynamic.

Dear anon,

I haven't much given thought to female!L, if anything, I'm more partial to genderbending Near just for the poetic justice of it all. That being said, you've got me thinking now. I could see the female!L angle being a lot of fun, in the way she would directly challenge Light's misogyny by not only being brilliant, but (imo) being also bored to tears by her own brilliance. Sorry, the top THREE detectives are WHO? My inclination is to picture her like a Shoko Ieiri laissez-faire type if you're a JJK person. I think the anonymous angle works well to, in the way poets of the past would have to shield their identities with male pen names if they had hopes of being published. Makes the L moniker for safety's sake much more multi-faceted.

I drew a little picture with a female!L and a flustered Yotsuba Light. I really struggle to headcannon him as liking women in really any capacity, but I feel like he'd be overwhelming attracted to her brilliance, and what would push it over the edge is her casually saying in passing that she's really into femdom and pegging and thank goodness they're sitting because he's half hard under the table. This came out a little too "pretty" for how I imagine female!L but I love the idea of her having gigantic droopy bazongas and a big ol' bush because of dykelawlight's PHENOMENAL LAWLIGHT YURI! Ugh, seriously read anything by them if you haven't.

What do you think Queenie was like when she was around? What do you think about the HC of her potentially being on the spectrum?

i dont have a super concrete idea, but i do imagine, true to kingers word, that she was very funny and creative!!!

ive mentioned it before but i dont think she was actually an entomologist- just someone invested in it! (the only way i could see her being an entomologist is if, for some reason, c&a wanted an entomologist on board for... something? but thats a very biological field so i dont think this is the case). at most i think shed worked related jobs in the distant past, but nothing recquiring a degree in the field

despite this i do think she was just as weird as entomologists are. because theyre all weird and its great. every entomologist or person DEEPLY dedicated to entomology ive ever met has been eccentric in some way. i think she was like this. what this entails is ambiguous

(id use myself as a source but i think im closer to kinger in terms of knowledge on entomology, in that its above standard knowledge of insects but still not nearly as much as an actual entomologist has)

also i think she was bad at completely dialing down talk about insects. i think shed try but as she talks itd gradually veer right back into just her saying her own thoughts, complete with abbreviations and ento terms that no one else but her knows

she was definitely very funny and probably in like. a very goofy way. i think she was generally pretty composed but had a very lighthearted sense of humor. i think with her general like... demeanor of Knowing What Shes Doing that shed just Say Things that would catch people off guard in a very silly way

in terms of creativity, i dont imagine she was an artist (or if she was i think it was a recent skill she was learning- maybe gangle was teaching her...) but i do imagine she had a very good ability to problem-solve and generally had a really good grasp on methods of doing things. creative is the best way to put it again. she was clever!!

i do think she was probably the more grounded of the two, less jumpy and more prone to thinking about the situation the two were in (what with how kingers personality ties into his chess piece being a king, i like the idea that hers ties in too). it gave her more of a tendency to really think about it all which contributed to her abstraction :(

i dont think she waas TOOOO much more serious than kinger though... i think they were both huge goofballs and it was sweet

tbqh my idea of her is ALSO influenced by my favorite tadc fic that i read a few weeks back and am still obsessed with (metamorphosis by beepborpdoodledorp!! its REALY good). i like to imagine she was like how she is in this!!!!

in terms of her being autistic i am ALWAYS a fan of interpretting characters as autistic. i looove the idea of entomology being a special interest of hers (especially bc i can certainly relate), and even w the minimal knowledge we have of her i think it works really well. i think i could come up with more elaborate details abt this other than the surface level stuff but id need to think on it more...

(i myself try to avoid hcing a character as autistic and then just making it about having special interests since thats only one facet ofc, though w the little info we have on her its one of the easiest things to point to... i would love to have more ideas for it)

though, i know its implied to be an abstraction thing but i DO like the idea that she found bright lights overstimulating. i could see her finding MOST things in the circus overstimulating. if she were around to meet pomni i think theyd be able to connect over that (considering i hc pomni as autistic too but i dont wanna derail this w rambling abt that HAHA). the humor thing may have created strange moments though since i think pomni has very little sense of humor- or at the very least, a highly specific one that is hard to hit. maybe queenie could have managed to make her laugh...

either way i REALLY like the idea. autism entomology combo WIN!!!!!

what are your top 3 Ais traits

omg idk even know where to start -

There are so many things that I genuinely enjoy about his character it’s hard to narrow it down to just three traits but these are the ones that strongly resonate with me personally about him!

(in no particular order)

i. protective

I love how protective he is. Even from your first meeting with him, he seems concerned for your safety, by making sure you have a literal guide(Princess ilysm <3) take you back to the city so you’re not in danger + he escorts back to the Wet Wick himself after annihilating that roughneck that tried to hurt you.

Also I just love how he nearly killed that guy that tired to hurt us and in such a brutal way too. He really does wear a bleeding heart on his sleeve and wants to protect the people he sees as vulnerable and that trait makes me ❤️ him even more that I already do.

Hence why I see him getting overly attached to us because he sees us as someone without protection in a strange, treacherous city and wants to be the one to fill that role!

ii. whimsical lil’ fella

Ais is actually hilarious. I had such a fun time bantering with him cuz he has this deadpan type of humor that charmingly disarms you while he is also simultaneously sincere with you.

I replayed his mini-route so many times just kicking my feet and giggling cuz he’s so much fun to talk to and it makes me feel nice - like he’ll tease you but in a way where he wants to laugh WITH you, not at you.

Like his whole sparrow and dove nicknames for MC and Mhin respectively are lowkey funny cuz they’re so random and he just gives them to you and doesn’t explain why and so you now you have this confusing bird themed moniker that Ais gave you just because he could + his “I didn’t know sparrows could bite” comment is SO silly and nonsensical and he just doesn’t care lol

iii. sensitive

I also love Ais’s secret sensitivity. He hides behind a nonchalant, intimidating demeanor but he’s a genuine softie under his scary exterior. His fatal flaw is his poor control on his emotions, after all.

He knows he’s terrifying to most people, so the fact he appears self-conscious about how he comes off to you touches my heart. He literally keeps count of how many “bad impressions” he makes on you so he doesn’t scare you off + his “I was lonely” comment said so simply and honestly, shows how much he desires companionship despite this perception of him being this violent tough guy most people(that isn’t the main cast) runs away from

And this is maybe me overthinking but when he catches you staring at him and asks if you like what you see or if he needs more work, this could interpreted as him being playful, and it is, but with Ais, the things he says can have these double meanings. So what if he was asking you that because he felt self-conscious and genuinely wondered if you didn’t like how he looked and was hiding it behind a joke?

HE HAUNTS ME.

[mar-im-o]

can you tell us more about the fae courts in your au?

i love the detail with the pupils, and was wondering (sorry if youve already talked abt this!) if cosmo and wanda are also from the same courts or different courts--and if two faeries from different courts have a child, what would that child be?

are anti-fairies their own separate courts? with winter being the anti-fairy equivalent to summer and fall being the anti-fairy equivalent to spring? or are there four courts and then four anti-fairy courts?

So faeries rely on humans as a source of magic. A human's belief is a powerful thing, and overtime there have been two leading ideologies of how to inspire that belief. The Seelie gain belief from bettering human lives. The Unseelie gain belief from worsening human lives.The four courts each fit into one of those ideologies.

For the Seelie, there is Summer and Spring. Summer fae are powerful and large, with golden crowns like Jorgen and the Tooth Fairy. Spring fae are smaller, more colorful, have weaker magic, and fool's gold crowns. These are godparents.

For the Unseelie, there is Winter and Autumn. Winter fae are duller and care little for humans, and wear silver crowns. These are the Pixies. Autumn fae are tricksters which cause misfortune in human lives with their obsidian crowns. These are the anti-fairies.

Summer and Winter faeries are considered whole. They're more powerful and can do magic without a host human to believe in them.

Spring and Autumn faeries, on the other hand, are halves of a faerie. They need a human host to farm belief off of, and for every Spring faerie that is born, their other half is born in Autumn.

The court a faerie belongs to is based on the season they're born in. Most faeries are strategic about when they'll bring their children into the light to make sure they stay in the same court, but it's entirely possible for two Springs to have a Winter child, for example.

10? 🫣

answer to this post

a little snippet of some random moment as I don't have much on this, just random stuff (and for the context - they're both drunk here)

“Hey! You ate the only blue gummy! I wanted to try this one!” Liam whines, looking at the almost empty packet of gummies as if his life ended with that last gummy being eaten.  “You gave it to me yourself so cut the act”  Well, true. But it doesn’t change the situation - it’s still upsetting! “I’m still upset though!” Liam says, and his sad face changes to a pouty one when Theo bursts into laughing. - You’re kidding?! It’s not funny! It’s serious! “Well then let me share and clear my karma” and in an instant Theo is close - too close - and it somehow clears away every single thing Liam was about to say to him. Head empty, Liam can think about only one thing - sour sprinkling on Theo’s lips he has a strong desire to lick off. “And how are you going to do it, genius?” It’s the first thing that comes to his mind - not the best he knows! -  but he thanks god he actually can talk and function right now.  Theo was always a man of action. He says nothing and just leans closer to Liam, whose eyes have been closed since the question he asked, and Liam startles slightly when Raeken’s lips cover his iwn and with a soft warmth immediately spread through his body Liam tastes an unusual flavor of something he cannot decipher but that definitely from now on will stay in his mind as Theo’s flavour.

is there any character in the silt verses you would've liked to have a different ending/appear again, and if so what would that be/what would their role be?

i think charity was an interesting character and i would've loved to see more of her. i honestly don't know how she'd fit into the narrative in a natural way, but i'd have liked to learn more about the god of penda's slake because that episode was SO COOL. glad she got a cameo in season 3 tho

as for a different ending i'm sad but altogether satisfied with how things ended. maybe greve shouldve lived so she could talk shit about faulkner in the verses, or something to that degree.

honorary mention to the saint electric. she is fascinating to me and i wish we got more information about her bc tsv is more focused on the church electric than her. she isnt a character but i wish she was. i have sent a question to the qna asking for any lore on her and am currently planning a fic set in the siltverses version of the industrial revolution to explain her backstory

[ayeleye]

3 and 18 please!

3. A fic or Artwork you enjoyed

There was so much epic stuff this year in our lovely fandom 🩷 Right now I am drawn to mention The Stars Incline Us by @wordspinning /merakiae. Especially as the story is starting to ramp up to its conclusion. Seriously, if you want an exhilarating, insightful, creative, GENIUS storytelling experience, READ THIS

18. The creation that took you the most amount of time

Surprisingly enough it was the piece I did for @lauronk ‘s garden fic, because I was trying out some new painting techniques and I had never done a background before so it took a while to fully take shape.

Hi! How about SuperBat for the shipping ask game?

HELLO and thank you for the ask!!!!

(ship ask game)

What made you ship it?

i just feel like it's an absolute classic. there's the comedy inherent in one of the nicest guys on the planet hanging out with the most tortured guy in existence, but there's also the deep romanticism of two men with a long and storied history who sometimes clash or disagree but always hold the same values dear.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

the best friends to lovers of it all is extremely compelling. i also really enjoy it when clark gets to be a stepdad to the batkids, particularly dick. i also like the banter and trust that comes with them knowing each other for so long and going through so much together.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

i don't think this is an UNPOPULAR opinion, perse, but something i would love to see more people lean into is the fact that clark is just enough of a bastard to be worth knowing. he's not a pushover!! sometimes he can actually be a total bitch!! the midwestern pettiness comes through!! that's a really fun part of his character, and i would love to see it be a bigger part of his interactions with bruce. bruce is very intimidating, and clark respects bruce a lot, but at the same time he's still absolutely willing to (correctly) make fun of bruce to his face. let clark be a midwestern bitch 2k25.

F: Share a snippet from one of your favourite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

and

G: Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?

F: Share a snippet from one of your favourite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

Not to be all about Me, I say answering questions to a meme I posted. though I will say you are very kind

this quixotic/Kee-oh-tic sequence from this comic. I just enjoy the visual pun of Kee-oh-tic to Chaotic (which Fraser is) to the actual, intended Quixotic (pronounced differently) - which Fraser also is. I also enjoy the fact that if Fraser is Don Quixote, then both Rays are Sancho Panza. And canonically in due South, and in Don Quixote - Quixote undergoes a reality check while Sancho Panza undergoes Quixotification. Which is one thing that I both enjoyed and was pained by dS season 4. (and I can pretend I'm "Literary" lmao)

I guess it's harder for comics because I keep defaulting to visual gags and not dialogues but notable mention this line, which gets its punch not from the line alone but the visual it's overlayed on?

G. Do you write your stories start to finish, or out of order?

Won't lie, I am usually Siezed by a Vision of one singular thing which I will write feverishly down (usually at 2 am). THEN. when I awake the next day, infinitely more sane, I start writing a bullet point overview of the fic. I also (cries in nerd) write out character arcs for each character so that they're all consistent

and THEN. I write the scenes out of order like any other person.

[verysmallcyborg]

For the ship asks: Who likes to dance with, or sing for, the other?

from fornax's perspective, they like doing both! especially because they can be silly and not care whether they're good or bad, since they're just having a good ole time with ryss!!

they were initially awkward and reluctant on dancing with her at first, mainly due to their huge tail and knowing that it's pretty much a public hazard, but i like to think that ryss helped them feel a little less self-conscious about it (moreso when they're dancing in private and are in a spacious area)

fornax looooves to sing / hum, whether they're doing mundane things like chores or errands with ryss, or doing something that involves physical labor

[meitantei-shitpost]

For the ask game, Conan !!!

Conan Edogawa has successfully taken over my brain he is my blorbo ever. he’s a little creature, he’s a homicide detective, he’s an annoying brat, he’s a tortured soul, he’s a cute little scrunkly, he’s a creepy little shit, he’s an actual genius, he’s a little fuck in a bowtie. I honestly like him too much to get a bingo he is my son

Referring to this post!!
