i was going to make a post that was just:
steve, watching took girls he used to be in love with kiss: *in the least creepy way possible* hell yeah :)
and in the tags i typed "steve being besties with all his exes" and then immediately thought of the fact that, yes, steve is friends with all his exes, EXCEPT for eddie
like, eddie and him have a quick summer fling or something, it burns hot and it burns FAST. but then, like in all relationships, they both change. they both start thinking of the â¨future⨠and... steve's not leaving hawkins anytime soon, you know? and eddie wants nothing more than to get out. but they're both attached, more than they thought they were, so it's not necessarily an amiable break. it's not horrible, they don't hate each other or anything. but there's lots of tears and a little bit of yelling, and then...
eddie leaves. and they never speak again.
and they think of each other, sure. in new partners, in new experiences, wondering what it might be like ifâ except that's not the reality anymore. they're NOT together anymore, so there's no sense in wondering, right?
except... they do. they do wonder, they do wish, they do miss each other, they still want each other. but that ship's sailed. he's moved on, they think. he's moved on and his happy with someone else.
and of course, that's when mike and el's wedding happens to everyone.
#shush mal#stranger things#steddie#just some ramblings#where did the ronance go??? in my brain it's personal don't ask#anyways the wedding is an absolute DISASTER#steddie are being awkward#ronance is being TOO in love#dustin is wreaking havoc#and it all culminates in mike runaway bride-ing it right before the ceremony and el's just like :) thank goodness#she slow dances with hopper and max and steve and robin and eddie at the reception turned no wedding party.#anyways steddie is the least of anyone's worries and the two of them are just staring at the drama like wow đż#and then eddie gets too drunk and proposes to steve while he's slow dancing with mrs. wheeler#steve does not say yes ofc not but he does hold eddies hand and kiss his cheek regularly for the rest of the night which is just as good tb#okay this is a whole outline i might as well write the romcom of my life

ââââ
November 1985
âNo.â
âWhat do you mean no? You just fought an interdimensional being, donât you want a vacation?âÂ
Lucas wipes both hands down his face, flopping down on the arm of the couch beside where Max sits with El between her knees, tying off one of the two braids sheâs trying to make.Â
âMax, can you help me? Please?â Lucas has been arguing about this for fifteen minutes.Â
She rolls her eyes, but looks up from her work nonetheless. âBilly.â
The man in question crosses his arms, locking eyes with the redhead. âMaxine.â
Max finishes Elevenâs braid and she hops up to join Will where heâs working on a puzzle. Joyce brought it home from work a few days ago, and itâs been spread out on a card table in the corner of the living room since then. Will couldnât watch The Golden Girls with Joyce from the kitchen table.Â
âJust come with us, Billy. We all know you hate it here. Itâll give you a chance to get away for a little while.â
Except thatâs not totally the truth. He doesnât hate it here. Not with you around.Â
âThereâs a pool.â Will looks up, a little shyly, from the puzzle, fingers flipping around a single piece. âAt the place Robin found.âÂ
Billy nods, and itâs enough to make Will smile at the acknowledgment.Â
Itâd been Steveâs idea, after everything that happened in July. He thought everyone going on a trip together might be a good idea. Go a little ways out from home, calm down.Â
You and Billy started going to school, though Billy is still working. He found a job at a record store across the street from Melvaldâs that opened after the mall went to shit. It definitely wasnât his first choice, but it works. And heâs slowly fixing up the Camaro.Â
Steve had offered to pay for the repairs in full, considering he did most of the damage when he rammed the side of it, but Billy couldnât handle that. So far Max has only convinced him to let Steve cover the really expensive parts. It hurts Billy more than heâd care to admitâhaving Steve Harrington give him money.Â
But he canât lie, going somewhere away from Hawkins, even just for a couple days, sounds really nice. Itâs the group part thatâs bothering him. Heâs still not used to everyone wanting him to tag along, but apparently major trauma brings people together.
Thereâs the slamming of car doors, and footsteps running up the driveway before the door swings open, Robin bursting in with a stack of movies in her arms. Sheâs followed by Dustin and then Steve, bags and keys being tossed every which way.Â
Billy doesnât see you for a moment and starts to worry maybe you arenât coming. Heâs already supplying excuses for having to go home, but Steve left the door ajar, and after a moment, there you are.Â
You look sleepy, footsteps the quietest of everyone else as you carefully push the Byersâ door shut behind you. He watches as you accept a hug from Eleven, overhears her ask, âhow did your test go?âÂ
Heâs happy to hear you tell her it went well. Itâs only after youâve looked at her and Willâs puzzle and snapped a few more corner pieces in that you make a beeline for the open spot on the couch beside Billy.Â
When youâve settled, your knee bumps against his. âHey.â
He looks at you, a little grin playing at the corners of his mouth. His arms are still crossed, thumb playing with the pendant resting on his chest. A chest surprisingly covered by a sweater, though the sleeves are pushed up.Â
âHey. Glad your test is over?â
That sound of his voice makes you smile, and heâs never been so grateful for something, even if itâs just an expression. âYeah.â
You glance down at the new tattoo on his arm, a dark colored snake wrapping around the skin covering his elbow. You run your thumb across the tail that flicks across his forearm, and Billy relaxes into your touch.Â
âYou have work today?â
Billy shakes his head. Youâre glad he had the day off. And youâd tell him so if it werenât for the sudden bombardment.Â
Lucas is suddenly standing in front of you, having returned from the kitchen where you think he and Dustin may have been cleaning out Joyceâs fridge.Â
âHoly shit, thank god youâre here. I need you to convince Billy to go on vacation.âÂ
You glance at Max, assuming sheâs already tried. She looks rather annoyed. âLucas, would you sit down?â
The boy looks at Max, and she glares at him. Clearly he knows better and sits down next to her.Â
âBilly doesnât have to do anything he doesnât want to do,â you finally say.Â
The man in question turns to face you. You have to lean your head back some because of how close he is.Â
âAre you going?â he asks, voice quiet and thick with something you donât know that youâre supposed to notice.Â
âY-yeah. I was gonna. Robin only went on about it to me for an hour over the phone last night. I just think it might be nice to get away for a little while.â Billy doesnât break eye contact with you, and while it makes you a little nervous, it tells you heâs listening.
âAnd I can watch Max for you if you really donât want to go. Just make sure she doesnât kill Lucas or anything.â Max snorts at your response, though Lucas looks at her in panic, already calculating how best to prevent that sort of situation.Â
Your gaze softens and you fight the urge to reach out and run your thumb across Billyâs cheek.Â
Please come with us. I want you to go. I want you there, you think. But itâs not what you say. You donât know how badly he needs to hear it.Â
âYou really donât have to go, Billy. Not if you donât want to.â
âBut there is enough space, man.â Steve stands behind the couch, handing El a scrunchie he retrieved from her bag. His voice is calm, informative. âIf you decide to go. Thereâs plenty of room, and weâd be happy if you did.â
Billy could make some smartass remark. But he wonât. He knows that Steve is being honest, and that heâs not trying to be a dick. It seems that witnessing the guy who beat the shit out of you almost die not even a year after he moved to town really brings you together.Â
Billy gives an acknowledging nod. âIâd be very happy if you did,â Eleven says. She loves having Jonathan as an older brother, really she does, but Billy lets her play with his hair. And in her books, that really ups the scale.Â
He smiles at her, and El considers that a win.Â
You notice him shift next to you, and then heâs leaning forward to whisper in your ear. âCome with me?â He cocks his head in the direction of the door.Â
He gets up, assuming youâll follow him. You always do.Â
When youâve shut the door, you move to the porch swing. Itâs your favorite spot out here, and Joyce says it makes her happy to see someone use it. She used to sit there with Will in the mornings after Jonathan left for school and read to him. She did the same with Jonathan, but he was a much more fidgety kid, wanting to find something else to do.Â
Billy lights a cigarette, and you watch where he fidgets with the ring on his middle finger.Â
Heâs standing a little ways away from you so as to not breathe the smoke directly in your vicinity, but you wish so badly that he was closer. You like having him close. The weight of his body next to you, the warmth, how solid his arm feels when itâs pressed to yours or when he slides down on the couch some and it's more so pressed to your side.Â
âWhich part of it are you worried about?â you ask him.Â
He shrugs. âYou really think they want me there? You think Max wants me around?â âBilly, I know she does. And I know that voice in your head is telling you that itâs a pity invite, but itâs not. And, besidesâŚâ you trail off, but heâs not having that. He needs you to reassure him.Â
âBesides what?âÂ
You look up at him. âI want you to go. And yeah, Iâll be sad if you donât go, but that shouldnât sway your decision either.â You push your feet against the concrete porch a little harder, and the swing responds to the movement. You move quicker, now feeling very pleased with yourself.Â
Billy almost laughs at the child-like look on your face, but you look so at home on the swing that he holds it in. A grin escapes nonetheless.Â
âSay that again.â He stubs out his cigarette in the ashtray either Hopper or Joyce have left outside. Heâs watching you again.Â
âWhat?â Heâs not gonna let you go all shy on him now. He needed to hear that. He needs to hear it.Â
âYou know what.â
âI want you to go.â
âThen itâs settled. Need to get out of this shithole anyways.â
ââââ
The place Steve found is about two hours from Hawkins, with three bedrooms, a shockingly luxurious pull-out couch, and bigger common areas than youâve ever laid eyes on. Excluding the ones in Steveâs house. In short, the rental is like Hopperâs cabin, if Hopperâs cabin were updated and substantially larger. It feels like the kind of place rich people have to take weekend trips. Youâd rather not find out how much Steve is paying for the lot of you to stay there.Â
Robin takes you on a grand tour while everyone else explores the backyard. Dustin is already determined to climb a tree. One of the rooms has two sets of bunk beds, dedicated to the four boys. âTo ensure no cootie-spreading,â Robin proclaims.Â
She and Steve will share the couch, with Max and Eleven in the smaller bedroom.Â
Robin stops at the end of the hallway. âWhich leavesâŚâÂ
You and Billy.Â
You and Billy Hargrove.
Sharing a room.Â
Sharing a bed.Â
Speaking of, the man in question brushes past you, setting his bag on the floor at the foot of the bed. Robin takes that as her queue to leave and gives you a thumbs up on the way out. You hope she can feel your death stare on the back of her head, and she knows it, being quick to run down the hall.Â
âSo weâre roomies, huh?â Billy says, gathering his hair at the base of his neck. You hadnât even realized he had a tie on him, and it takes him finishing off a lazy bun to realize itâs a blue scrunchie. You have to bite your lip to keep from saying anything.Â
âI can sleep with Max and El, if you want. Orââ
That crease between Billyâs brows forms. âWhy would you do that?â
Youâve gone all warm. Youâd have to sleep in bed with him. And you sit next to him all the time, but this is different. Isnât it?
Maybe itâs not so weird. Youâre just friends. Itâs like a sleepover, right?
âI donât know, you might not want to sleep together or something.â
He cocks a brow, but you catch the double meaning of your words just in time. âYou know what I mean, Billy.â
He sits on the end of the bed, and reaches out for you. You move towards him slowly, but the moment youâre within his grasp, Billy spreads his legs and grabs your waist, slotting your body between them.Â
âYou can go if you really want to. If you think Iâve got cooties or somethinâ and you donât wanna share a bed with me.â
You snort, and Billy drinks in the sound, knowing heâs the one that made you laugh.Â
âI donât think youâve got cooties.â
You realize in that moment that his hands havenât left their spot on your waist, never straying anywhere else. The weight of them on you is enough to keep you focused on him, and he seems to acknowledge that.Â
âThen what is it?â he asks, in that low drawl you fear could get out any answer he wanted from you.Â
You hesitate, but say it anyway. âYou donât think itâll be weird? Sleeping in the same bed?â
Billy fights the urge to rest his forehead against your stomach. He wants to tell you heâs wished you were in his bed on more than one occasion. Sometimes he just wishes you were there so it wouldnât feel so cold, so heâd have someone to pull him out of his thoughts before they eat him alive altogether.Â
âNo, I donât think itâll be weird.â
You nod your head, and try to move back from him.Â
Billy whines. âUh uh. Nope.â
You go to put your hands on your hips, and they graze Billyâs on the way. He grabs hold of them. âYou donât want to have a sleepover with me?â
Billyâs looking up at you with those watery blue eyes, and you know this is a battle youâll never win.Â
âReally?â
He lets out a breath of a laugh, and your eyes fall to his neck when he tosses his head back.Â
âYeah, baby.â
Baby.Â
It feels like every cell in your body has been sent into overdrive, like you canât compute a single coherent thought. All because Billy called you âbabyâ.Â
And if heâs being honest with himself, he feels the same way. He hadnât meant to say it. Itâs just that he calls you âbabyâ in his head all the time, and it justâŚhappened.
âIâd love to have a sleepover with you, Hargrove.â
âMhm. Thought so.âÂ
This time he lets the laugh out, and itâs a beautiful sound. The kind of sound youâd commit unspeakable acts to hear again. And this time, he does let his forehead drop to rest on your stomach. It surprises you, but youâre not mad about it.
âOh, fuck off,â you say, and you can feel his chuckle against your skin.
When he quits, you find yourself just standing there, find your hands moving around his back. Heâs always so warm. You rub your hands up and down his back, the denim of his jacket rough on your fingertips.Â
You feel him shift, feel his change in position, the hard press of his chin against you. Billy is looking up at you, and you know heâs hoping youâll return his gaze. His eyes bore into yours, and you hate to think of what you must look like from this angle. Clearly he doesnât mind.Â
You push a curl behind his ear, a shockingly perfect ringlet thatâs too short to be contained like the rest of them.Â
Billy would be taken aback by the gesture if it werenât for the fact that you always go this easy on him. Like you know heâs healing, in more ways than one.Â
âWe canât stay here forever, you know. I wanna go look around.âÂ
âYeah,â he laughs. âIâm sure itâs riveting.â He lets you go anyway, following you down the hall to the rest of the cabin.
ââââ
Your back rests on the base of an oversized chair, one thatâs surprisingly comfy, your body in between Robinâs legs. Sheâs sitting next to Steve, watching you moderate El, Lucas, and Will play Twister. Dustinâs already out.Â
âRight hand blue.â
âYouâre kidding right?â
âSinclair, have you never played this game before?â
Lucas scoffs, trying to reach the blue on the other side of the mat without toppling into Will. Max went with Billy to the store, but they should be back soon. You have a sick feeling theyâre taking advantage of having been given Steveâs debit card.Â
âYes, Iâve played the game before. If youâre so good, why donât you get down here and show us how itâs done, Harrington?â
âYeah, Harrington, why donât you show us how flexible you are?â Billyâs voice makes you look up from where youâve been mindlessly twisting the spinner on the board around with the tip of your finger.Â
He stands just inside the living room, holding the door open with his leg. He kicks it shut once Max has made it in. She heaves the paper bags sheâd been holding up and onto the counter. Steve rises to help unpack them. You follow on instinct, handing the spinner to Robin instead, and Dustin is quick to take Steveâs spot before Mike can.Â
Billy wonât let you take anything from him, but he will let you help figure out what the hell to do with all of it. âDo I even want to know how much you both spent?â you ask.Â
He gives you that fucking smile, and you know you donât. âMax said she wanted to have a spa nightâwhatever that meansâwith El, so we sort of split up. Iâm sure Steveâll live.âÂ
âFor your information, Lucas,â Steve continues, clearly not ready to let the quips towards his limberness go, âI was the captain of the swim team.â
âWhatâs that got to do with being flexible, dingus?â Robin directs the two remaining players, the young boy in question having just busted his ass.Â
âSwimming is an art form, Rob. You gotta learn to respect it.â
You choke on a laugh, and Billy is quick to rub your back while he chuckles into your shoulder.Â
âSomething funny over there?â Steve questions.Â
You straighten, trying to wipe the smile from your face though itâs to no avail. âNope, Steven. Iâm sure youâre just incredibly stretchy. Like Mr. Fantastic.â
His brow furrows. âMr. Fantastic?â
Dustin snorts, elbow deep in a bag of chips, and you quickly realize that you probably shouldnât have given him an opening, but you donât exactly regret it either.Â
The lot of you spend the rest of the night in this fashion, playing games, eating way too much food, taking turns smacking the top of the television so your movie will keep playing.Â
It feels like home. It feels safe. You wish it always felt this way.Â
ââââ
Youâd just finished brushing your teeth when you hear the bedroom door click shut, hear footsteps you can tell are in search of you.Â
You peek your head out of the bathroom and Billy grins at the sight of you in pajamas, a smear of moisturizer on your forehead youâve yet to rub in.Â
He squeezes in the small room, about the same size as his at home, to join you. Thereâs something about this moment, the domesticity of it, that makes your heart swell. It feels like something you could get used to, getting ready for bed with him. Neither of you have to say anything, you just do your own thing, but having him be there, having his presenceâitâs more than enough for you.Â
When you climb into bed, you try and read for a while, the sounds of Billy washing his face comforting you. You find it easy to read even when he does get in with you, the mattress sinking underneath his weight, the sheets rustling as he moves around experimentally, trying to get comfortable in a bed that isnât his own.Â
You feel odd though, reading when heâs right there, so it isnât long before you close the book and slide further into the covers with him. Billyâs quick to turn on his side, wanting to see you like this.Â
He watches you yank the blankets up to your chin, looking at him over a blur of fluffy white comforter. âItâs fuckinâ freezinâ in here,â you tell him.
âCâmere then.â
You burrow further into your pillow, fearing you know exactly what heâs going to suggest. âHuh?â
âYouâre cold. You always whine about me being warm or somethinâ and Iâm telling you to come here.â
âBilly.â
âStop.â He lifts the covers up some, untucking you from them, and he wraps his arm around your back, tugging you into his side.Â
Suddenly youâre pressed against him, having slid across the sheets easier than youâd have imagined.Â
Heâs let go of you, his arm hovering over your back. âYou want me to hold you or no?âÂ
âYeah.âÂ
Billy lets his arm drop against your side, his fingers splaying out over your back. He rubs his hand up and down your spine, hoping itâll warm you up. âThis okay?âÂ
âYes.âÂ
He nods. Youâre looking at him like heâs something special.
Billy realizes, in that moment, that thatâs how youâve always looked at him. Even before.Â
He also realizes that your hands are tucked under your chin and your legs are curled up and into you like youâre afraid of making any contact with him.Â
âYou can loosen up, you know. Itâs just me.âÂ
You let out a breath of a laugh, and he can feel it against the skin of his neck.Â
âItâs okay, I promise. You can touch me.â Billy has this feeling that youâre afraid of hurting him. Heâs sure youâve noticed that heâs wearing a shirt to bed, something he never did before. And he thinks that youâre worried heâll break.Â
âYouâre sure?â
âWouldnât have said so otherwise.â
He watches you unfold your hands and stretch your arm over him, hooking it around his hip. You want to rub up and down his side, but youâre nervous.Â
Itâs just me.Â
âDo they hurt at all?â
Your thumb skates up a little further, and you donât have to tell him what you mean.Â
âNot all the time,â he says, voice low and thick with drowsiness. âAt first, yeah, like hell. Now itâs just sometimes. They can feel a little tight, or just bug me. Depends, I guess.â
You nod, feeling brave enough now to slide your hand up a little further. Your touch is light, barely there. You close your eyes, trying not to think about when it happened. How heâd screamed.Â
He can tell when youâve calmed down some, because your arm relaxes and you hug him a little more firmly. You scoot in a little closer, close enough that your noses would touch if you tried to make them.Â
âGoodnight, Billy.â
He makes the move, dragging the tip of his nose across your forehead. He kisses the top of your head, and you grin so wide you feel like a kid in a candy shop.Â
âGoodnight, baby.â
ââââ
When you wake up, you almost donât want to disturb him, but you know you should get out of bed.
Billy is sprawled out on his stomach, having separated from you at some point during the night. His tank top is rucked up from the tossing and turning of sleep, and you look away when you catch a glimpse of pink skin. It doesnât feel like your place to look.Â
You wander out of the room, carefully shutting the door behind you. You make it down the hall, and find that Robin seems to be the only other one awake. You shouldâve guessed. She told you once before that her body doesnât seem to let her sleep in.Â
Steve is still passed out on the pull-out couch, completely covered by the blankets. The only sign of him is a tuft of messy hair against the light colored pillow case his head rests on.Â
Robin waves at you from her perch at the kitchen counter, a bowl of cereal in front of her. âWant some?â she whispers, pushing the box in your direction.Â
You fill up your own bowl, having a feeling that Robin is about to ramble.Â
âSleep okay?â she asks.Â
âMhm. You?â
âFine. Though, yâknow, Steve is a horrific bed hog. Seriously, he was half on top of me the whole night. I might have to bunk with Max and El.âÂ
You laugh, and Robin takes that as her queue to ask what sheâs been pondering since she woke up.Â
âWas it okay? Sleeping with Billy? Well, not like that. Well, Iâm assuming not like that, not that thereâs anything wrong with that, but I just meant like actually sleeping? Please stop me.â
You grin at her. âPlease breathe, Rob.â She does, over exaggerating her inhales. âAnd it was fine.â
âOkay, good. I was kind of worried youâd be frustrated with my matchmaking tendencies. I just really want you two to be happy. And he seems so calm when heâs with you, and I realize Iâve just told you that Iâve been pushing you two together and Iââ
You wipe milk from your chin, having almost spit out your cereal. âRobin, sweetheart, itâs okay, I promise. I know about your matchmaking tendencies. But I think weâre just friends, right?â
âJust friends, my ass.â You hadnât even seen Steve get up, but heâs reaching for the fridge and pulling out a carton of chocolate milk. He really canât say anything about Dustinâs eating habits when he has the exact same diet.Â
âOh my god.â
âListen, Iâm just saying, thereâs been something going on between you two since before the world went to shit. I donât know why you two tiptoe around each other like itâs not obvious that youâre in love.â
âSteve!â you exclaim. âSeriously, what the hell? Iâve been up for like twenty minutes and you two are schooling me on my love life?â
âOr lack thereof,â Robin says.Â
âOkay, damn. You know what, Iâm going back to bed.âÂ
Steve pushes your bowl back towards you when you attempt to get up. âNo, youâre not. Iâm just saying, thereâs no sense in avoiding this. You both clearly feel a lot for each other, and I donât see any reason to avoid it when you could be together.âÂ
Heâs being vulnerable with you, his big brown eyes boring into yours and trying to convey how serious heâs being.Â
âJust think about it, okay? Thereâs no harm in talking about how you feel with him. And donât say that you donât feel anything, because thatâs a goddamn lie.â
ââââ
Billyâs had his swim trunks on all day, but he hasnât done more than sit in the shade by the pool while everyone else makes a mess and plays ridiculous games in the water.Â
Itâs killing him to watch you in there from time to time, swimming around or sitting in the shallow end. You told him once that swimming calms you down.Â
Itâs not until after dinner, when everyone has moved inside for the most part, though there seems to be the plotting of a water balloon fight out front, that heâs brave enough to head for the pool.Â
You follow him out there, see him contemplating the water.Â
âWhatcha doinâ?âÂ
Billy drops the cigarette heâd been smoking, snubbing it out. âThought about going for a swim,â he tells you.Â
âThat sounds nice.â
âMhm.â
âI can go back inside, if you want.â
Billy turns to face you. âNo. No, I want you to stay.â He wants you to see. He canât explain why, but he does.Â
âOkay.âÂ
He takes a shaky breath, hoping you donât catch it. You do. You always do.Â
âI justâŚwasnât ready for everyone to see.â
âI understand, Billy.âÂ
You know what heâs really saying. He wasnât ready for everyone to see. But heâs ready for you to see.Â
âI can get in first, if that helps. And I wonât look if you donât want me to,â you say.Â
âThat helps, yeah. And you can look. Itâs okay.â
He watches you wade in, watches the way your swimsuit changes color as you tread water.Â
Billy takes another deep breath, and heâs pulling his shirt off. Heâs quick though, diving straight into the deep end, knowing he needs to get it over with.Â
When he comes up, his hair is sticking to his forehead, and he flips it out of the way, giving you a glimpse of the broad pink scar on his chest.Â
He meets you halfway, and you think heâs in a serious mood until heâs splashing you like a child.Â
âYou motherfucker!âÂ
You get him back, and heâs laughing.Â
Billy is laughing and he looks so pretty in the last of the dayâs sunlight, beads of water sliding over his collarbones and down his arms, and you feel like you could die. Like seeing him this way is enough. You donât need anything else.
You try to return a particularly aggressive splash, but he catches your waist, pulling you up and over his shoulder.Â
âBilly!â
âWhat?â His voice is teasing. He tosses the rest of the way over, your laughter fading out into the water.Â
You come up, a brilliant smile on his face. Billyâs sure if you stood close enough youâd be able to hear his heart beating.Â
When youâve both gone quiet, your eyes drop to the scars on his sides, the way they stretch across his skin, mean and twisting. Some spots are darker than others, and while it hurts you to look at them, you know it must hurt him even more. But he looks just as beautiful as before, if not increasingly so.Â
âSee something you like?â Billy says it on instinct. To hide the fact that heâs worried you donât really like it. That maybe you think heâs gross looking. But he knows thatâs all in his head. He fucking knows it.Â
âYouâre fucking gorgeous, Billy Hargrove.â
You say it with such surety, such admiration, that he canât even begin to doubt that you mean it.Â
He smiles at you. Itâs boyish. Youâd do anything to see a million more of them.Â
He moves towards you, the sky having darkened enough that the outside lights have come on, the lights in the pool too. All that remains of the sun is a slash of deep orange, though the night quickly pushes it away.
Billyâs got you backed up against the wall of the pool now. His hands find your sides.
Itâs overwhelming, having him this close. You can feel his breath on your face, see the rise and fall of his chest, the freckles on his cheeks.Â
When he kisses you, you think your heart stops. His mouth is warm against yours, and he tastes a little like chlorine, but you donât care. Your hands find his face, and youâre smiling so hard that he pulls away because he wants to see. You donât let him for long though, pulling him back, wanting more. He laughs into your mouth, and your chest aches with this feeling.
Eventually you do let go, and when you hold his eye contact, he knows what youâre going to say. He needs to tell you first, though.
âIâm in love with you, you know.â
âI know,â you respond.
He tosses his head back in a laugh, and you press a sweet kiss to his throat.Â
âIâm in love with you too, Billy.â
âDamn right you are.â
You snort against his chest, lowering slightly to kiss his scar. His breath catches. He doesnât know what he did to deserve you.Â
âAbout fucking time!â Steveâs shouting and Robin is yelling, and Max would be making barf sounds if she wasnât so pleased with seeing her brother so happy.Â
âSo much for that,â Billy says.
But you wouldnât have it any other way.Â
ââââ
âIâm regretting this, Billy.â
âStop whining.â
Billy wraps his arms tighter around your back, pressing a kiss to your jaw in hopes that youâll let him keep doing this.Â
âGet off.â
âNo.â
âGet off, please.â
âMake me.âÂ
Thereâs the sound of a slap, your hand having met his ass.
He raises his head from where heâd buried it in your chest, looking at you drowsily. âYou just spanked me.â
And youâd do it again.Â
âDidnât work, did it?â
âNo. Shut up and take it.â
By that he means continue letting him lay on top of you, his entire body pressed to yours. It doesnât matter to him that thereâs an entire bed, one thatâs made for two people.
You settle for playing with his hair, something he seems to enjoy, and youâd mess with him about the fact that heâs essentially purring if it werenât for him looking so content.Â
He might be heavy, but having Billy Hargrove sleep on top of you isnât exactly something you just give up.Â
Heâs never had this before.
Hell, youâve never had this before.Â
And he thinks itâs healing him. More than the salve he puts on his scars, or the physical therapy, or fixing up the Camaro.Â
Youâre healing him. You.Â
ââââ
please let me know if you liked this! feedback is always appreciated!! comments and reblogs mean more than you know. <33

Sip The Sunlight From Your Eyes
For @astrangersummer week 2 prompt 'afternoon nap'. Title from Not Yet/Love Run (Reprise) by The Amazing Devil.
Pairing: Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson
Rating: G
W/C: 705
Tags: Post Series 4 Volume 2, Everyone Lives, Established Eddie/Steve, Summer, Backyard BBQ, Afternoon Naps, Steve has Insomnia, Fluff
Summary: The whole gang has gathered at Steve's place for a summer BBQ. Part way through, Eddie realizes Steve is missing, and finds him fast asleep in the midday sun.
___
âWhere does Steve keep his cups, hon?â Joyce was asking Eddie.
âAhâŚtheyâre in the cupboard next to the fridge. On the right,â Eddie answered.
âThanks, I had a look around for Steve to ask him but I couldnât see him anywhere?â
Eddie frowned. He did a quick scan of the backyard, searching for his boyfriend. Robin, Nancy, Jonathan and Argyle were sprawled over the loungers by the pool. Hopper was at the grill, chatting away to Wayne and flipping patties. The kids were spread out in the grass, chatting intently about something, Maxâs wheelchair parked up in the sun with El sitting close by.
But no Steve.
Eddie tried to think back to the last time heâd seen Steve this afternoon. Heâd been there while Dustin had asked to use the pool, trying to mask the small wave of discomfort that had crossed his face at the request before nodding and waving the kid off towards it.
Dustin had been none the wiser, but Eddie was an expert at reading Steve Harrington by now. He knew the boy still hated that pool and got nervous whenever anyone was in it.
Heâd been there when Max had arrived, pushing the girl to her requested spot and toeing on the brakes on the chair, holding a bag of candy out of the reach of the other kids and offering her first pick.
Heâd been there to welcome Wayne in, to sheepishly accept the brief hug Wayne gave him, not yet accustomed to open affection from paternal figures in his life.
But then Eddie had lost track, had gotten stuck in a heated debate with Mike and Erica about their last campaign, and Steve had slipped out of his view.
âIâll go take a look,â Eddie told Joyce.
She smiled and headed off in the direction of the kitchen. Eddie followed her inside but angled for the stairs, heading up towards Steveâs bedroom. He had a feeling that was where Steve would be, hoped he wasnât coming down with yet another migraineâŚ
He gently opened the door.
The sun was streaming in through the window and landing on the bed where Steve was sprawled out on his stomach, eyes closed and his lips slightly parted in sleep.
Eddie paused in the doorway. Just to take in the sight of his boyfriend, just to breathe for a moment because Steve Harrington was beautiful and till his dying day heâd never understand why Steve had chosen him.
But he had, and Eddie loved him.
Quietly, he approached the bed, one hand landing softly on the small of Steveâs back. The boy shifted under his touch, his eyebrows crinkling a little and a sigh leaving his lips.
âHey, Stevie,â Eddie murmured. âYou ok?â
âMmm. Tired.â
âNo migraine?â
âNo.â
And that was good, at least. But Eddie knew Steve still wasnât sleeping well at night, even months after the gates had closed for good and Vecna had been destroyed.
âDo you want to sleep for a little bit, sweetheart? I can wrap this up early, send everyone home after lunch.â
Steve frowned slightly and shook his head. âTheyâre having fun. Can hear them.â
Eddie listened for a moment, the sounds of the kids shrieking and laughing drifting in through the window with the warm breeze.
âSânice,â Steve mumbled. âSorry, I just came up to get some shorts for Dustin to swim in, he forgot his again. Didnât mean to fall asleep.â
âItâs alright, Stevie. Iâll grab the shorts, you stay here and rest.â Eddie leaned over and kissed Steveâs cheek.
âWas meant to help Hopper with the food,â Steve said, voice still thick with sleep.
âIâm sure heâll survive, baby. Wayneâs with him anyway, Iâve already heard the two of them debating over how long to leave the patties before flipping them. Theyâre fine.â
âMmm.â Steve was half-asleep again already, but he leaned into Eddieâs hand when he gently brushed his fingers across his cheek.
âSleep well, Stevie.â
âEds?â
âHmm?â
âKiss me?â
Eddie smiled, leant over and kissed him, gentle and slow, his boyfriendâs lips warm from the sun.
âSave me a burger,â Steve mumbled into his mouth, and then his breathing evened out, and just like that he was asleep again.

ahhhh i just spent the last three days reading every post on the emtts tag and im in love with your whole little universe. i kept meaning to make a list of all of the little things but i kept getting distracted and forgetting so i only started at april 18th bc i NEED (subject to your willingness to expand/care act this particular part of your universe) to hear more about all of the little stories of steve getting arrested (particularly hopper arresting steve?? and them breaking into steves parents house?)
thanks for this amazing space!! youâve made a universe that ive been thinking about constantly and that expands on the characters in such a beautiful mundane way, its very cool!!
ps i just read one of the follow ups in the death threat part where steve admits he doesnât want to stop teaching bc dustin asks eddie about it and i think im about to cry holy shit
pps on the death threat part with diane oh god. like just steve having to figure it out in front of her and her explaining to him and him admitting to just not being ok i just
First, thank you so much! This is all so very nice of you to say and props for getting through everything in three days. It is quite a bit! Itâs honestly amazing how much has been written in such a short amount of time. Iâm only going to cover Steve getting âarrestedâ and Iâll touch on Steve and Eddieâs breaking and entering at a later date.
Steve started having seizures a little after they closed the gate on the Upside Down for good or, well. They started noticing that he was having seizures after they closed the gate. It was heavily implied in the undertone of his doctorâs voice that these seizures were likely going on for a while and that they likely not going to stop anytime soon.
Steve took this news as well as anybody could.
Everybody was kinda waiting for him to have a breakdown over it, but it never happened because Steve was â well, he wasnât fine. Obviously. But it is what it is, right? If the worst thing to come out of all this Upside Down stuff is that heâs a little dumber than he was before than how could he complain?
Max was learning how to walk again.
What Steve didnât take well was his doctor telling him that he wasnât allowed to drive anymore. In fact, he did not take that news at all. He completely ignored it, and he ignored the looks that Robin when give him when he drove himself to work, and he would say, âItâs not like Iâm driving the kids around or anything. Itâs just me.â
âAnd thatâs supposed to make me worry less?â
âI pull over if I feel weird.â
He wasnât actually driving all that much anyways. Robin got her permit and Eddie got the all-clear to drive again, so no one needed to rope Nancy into lecturing him about âthe dangers.â He didnât need Dustinâs complaining or Eddieâs âhey, maybe you should listen to themâ or Joyce stopping him on his way out the door. And he didnât need Hopper.
Steve was learning to accept that sometimes he needed help. He was doing better, but Steve practically lived alone despite the jokes people were making about him being at Eddieâs all the time, and he wasnât going to bother someone just because he needed toilet paper.
Steve was sitting in his car outside of the Fair Mart, trying to remember why he needed to go there in the first place, when there was a knock on his window. He startled and blinked hard twice before looking over at the driversâ side window. He frowned.
Hopper was standing there and he looked annoyed. He gestured for him to get out of the car and Steve frowned more, fumbling with his seatbelt before pushing the door open. For lack of anything else to do once he was out of the car, Steve said, âHey, whatâs up?â
Hopper frowned more like he was annoyed with Steve which was, in itself, was really annoying because Steve didnât do anything. He was just here to buy⌠He was here to get⌠Wait. âHuh?â
Hopper sighed loudly and repeated himself. Slowly. âGive me. Your keys.â
Maybe it was Hopperâs tone or maybe there was some stock in what his doctor said mood swings, or maybe Steve was just tired of everybody treating him like a baby that needed taken care of and watched. Just when Hopper reached to take the keys out of his hand, Steve shoved him away.
Everything kinda blurred at the edges and the headache thatâs been wedged in the corner of Steveâs jaw pulsed. He didnât really take a breath until Hopper shoved him against the hood of his car.
Hopper cuffed metal around his wrists and said, âGood going, Harrington.â
Steve yanked on his arm and snapped back, âYouâre not even a cop anymore. You canât arrest me.â
âCall it a citizenâs arrest.â
Eddie laughed for four minutes of Steveâs five minute phone call at the police station. He laughed so hard that Steve knew that he was holding his side where the bites were the deepest because they were still tender, and Steve just rolled his eyes, âYeah, yeah. Yuck it up. Are you gonna get me?â
âHm, yeah,â Eddie grinned through the phone. âYeah. Itâs a little ironic that the Prom K-â
Steve hung up the phone.
The âchargesâ that Hopper (not a cop) threatened to âthrow the book at himâ for were driving without a valid driverâs license. There was a part of Steve that knew that this was all just for show to teach him a lesson, but still argued that he had a valid license because no one took it away from him, and actually, âThis is false imprisonment, right? Maybe I should call my family lawyer.â
It was even more annoying that Eddie â rolling into the building smelling like weed an hour later â agreed with Hopper.Â
#I want to make one thing clear: Eddie is high as shit when he goes to the police station#also wanted to imply that Steve mightâve had a seizure in the parking lot of the fair mart#I know Iâve been a bit slow responding to peopleâs prompts and thatâs probs going to continue for a bit#thereâs a lot going on irl right now and Iâve hit an emotional wall#still going to post though obvs#eddie munson tiktok saga#steve harrington#eddie munson#jim hopper

Fic Masterlist
~ / / / * \ \ \ ~
You pushed open the door, letting yourself and Eddie in, flicking on the lamps dotted around. You hung your bag back up, dropped your keys, going to the couch so you could take your shoes off.
Eddie mimicked these actions, hanging his leather jacket up, and sitting down next to you. âDo you anything to drink before?â you asked him. âNo, thank you though. I think I should just get it out of the way.â
âOkay.â
âAnd if itâs okay, could you just let me speak before you ask any questions, you can ask me anything after. Is that alright?â
âThatâs fine, anything you need Eds,â you could tell he was uncomfortable, frightened even.
He sighed, unable to begin talking, you took his hand gently. âTake your time Eds, do what you need to do.â He nodded, offering a weak smiled.
âJust before the Summer of 86, something started. It started in my life anyways, it actually began in 83. Anyways, I was a troubled kid, was on my third try of my senior year, barely passing anything.
âI was um ⌠selling drugs so me and Wayne could get by easier. Then one day this girl, a cheerleader, her name was Chrissy, she came up and asked to buy from me. Wanted really strong stuff.
âI didnât keep it on me, it was at my home. The trailer. So after school we went there ⌠I um âŚâ he paused, taking a deep and shaky breath. You squeezed his hand, rubbing your thumb on the back of it.
âTake your time,â you said softly. He nodded, before taking another breath and continuing. âI went to my room to grab the stuff and when I came back, she, Chrissy I mean ⌠she um ⌠was in some sort of trance.
âI tried to wake her up. Her body was thrown against the ceiling. Something pulled her apart from the inside out. Every bone in her body was broken, her eyes were ⌠I ran. I ran out. I left her there.
âEveryone thought it was me, so I hid.â He continued, explained how Dustin had found him, along with Steve, Robin and Max.
He told you about Vecna, about El. About the two other kids who were killed at the monsters hands, Fred Benson and Patrick McKinney.
He told you about the Upside Down. About the great final battle. Him playing guitar.
âI broke the rope, Dustin was stuck in this world and me in the Upside Down. I ran. I made as much noise as I could. The bats they um ⌠they attacked me.
âRipped me apart. Itâs why I look ⌠itâs why I look the way I do. Vecna was doing the same thing to Max that he did to Chrissy. She barely survived, but sheâs a strong kid.
âIf it wasnât for El, neither of us would be here. She killed Vecna, saved Max. She was hurt, but she was alive. Steve, Robs and Nance came back, dragged me to the trailer.
âThe doctors saved me. Well El did most of the work. Then ⌠then Hopper came back, vouched for me. It got blamed on someone else, Jason Carver.
âNot everyone believes that. Iâm still the town freak. People think that I summoned Satan to destroy the town. I didnât. I was so scared. Then the earthquakes, the landslides, I was just hoping Wayne made it out.
âI didnât care if he hated me, I just needed him alive. Heâs all I got.â
âAll you had,â you corrected, âYouâve got me now.â
âI do? You believe me? You donât hate me?â
âYes, yes and no.â
âI was so scared that youâd never want to see me again.â
âI believe you. Iâm sorry that all happened to you Eds and Iâm sorry people still judge you for it.â
You could now recall the times people looked at him funny, or stopped talking when he entered the room, or when they crossed the road to avoid him.
âI um ⌠Iâll let El and Max tell you their stories, itâs not for me to say anymore. I still donât really understand myself.â
âThank you for telling me. You did so well.â
âI-Iâm sorry that I had to tell you, but you needed to know. I couldnât have you see me and not know what happened. Thatâs if you still want to see me?â
âEddie you might not think it, but you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen. I want to see you, I want to see all of you if youâll let me. No matter what youâll be beautiful to me.â
He pressed his mouth to yours, face damp after what heâd just told you. âWe donât have to do anything, but if you want to stay you can.â
âIâd like the company if thatâs okay?â he says, almost shyly.
âThatâs more than okay. Hey Iâve got Cherry turnovers downstairs, letâs go get some.â
âWhat time do you have to be up tomorrow?â he asked.
âShop opens at 9, but the girls get here at 8. I have to finish up stuff so Iâll be up around 6:30.â
He hummed, nodding. âOkay, well I have to get to work too.â
âOkay, now come on. Letâs go get treats.â
He laughed, as you pulled him with you.
~ / / / * \ \ \ ~
You headed into the kitchen and opened up a box full of the turnovers, handing one to Eddie and taking one off yourself. Both of you stood close together, chomping at the delicious pastry.
You smiled at Eddie before you eyes caught something else, âOh my god,â you said.
âHm? What?â he asked.
âThatâs why you freaked out about the cake! Oh Eddie Iâm so sorry!â you said, remembering the small fondant creatures.
âHey, itâs okay. It wasnât your fault. I was just having a rough day with it. Was dealing with my feelings about you too.â
âOh yeah? How long have you had these feelings?â
âA while.â
âYouâre gonna have to give me more than that Munson.â
âNo way!â
âMean,â you pouted.
âWhat was that?â he asked.
âNothing,â you smiled.
âWhat did you say?â
âNothing.â
âSweetheart,â he said, lifting your chin so youâd meet his eyes, âWhat did you call me?â
âMean,â you spoke, voice almost a whisper.
âAm I? Am I mean?â he asked.
âI-I âŚâ
âCome on, what happened to the mouthy girl here a few minutes ago.â
âIâm sorry.â
He kissed your forehead, âItâs sadly too late for that. Iâll show you how mean I can be.â He attacked your lips, holding you close to him. His lips traveled down to your neck, kissing and biting, just like how youâd been doing to him, hours before.
âE-Eddie we canât h-here,â you stuttered, breathless at the feeling of his lips on your neck. âItâs n-not hygienic.â
âNot hygienic,â he laughed into your neck, âOkay then Sweetheart, jump for me.â
You did as he asked, he caught your thighs, legs wrapping around his waist. âWould your bed be more hygienic?â he asked.
âThat does sound better.â
âOkay baby, whatever you want,â he said, stealing a kiss.
~ / / / * \ \ \ ~
As soon as you made it into the apartment, Eddie was in your room. Dropping you on the bed gently. Leaning up on your elbows you smiled at him. âGod Sweetheart youâre so fucking beautiful,â he spoke, climbing onto the bed and between your legs.
Mouths on one another, tongues fighting, but somehow in sync with one another. Hands grabbing anything they could. âCan I take this off?â Eddie asked, playing with the hem of your shirt.
You nodded. âUse your words Sweetheart.â
âYes.â Sliding off your cardigan first, you raised your arms above your head, letting him pull the shirt from your body.
Sat back on his knees, Eddies eyes were filled with lust. You were the most stunning person heâd ever seen. He began kissing down your chest, leaving marks along the top of your breasts.
âCan I?â he asked, dragging his fingers up to the back of your bra. âYes,â you say, breathless. Undoing it, the bra was thrown somewhere in the room - frankly you couldnât care less where it had landed.
âFuck baby,â he said, taking your breasts in his hands, squeezing them lightly. You moaned out at the feeling. Leaning down, he placed his latched his mouth to one of your nipples. Sucking on it, twirling his tongue around.
âE-Eddie, oh fuck baby,â you cried out as he bit down lightly. Your hands tangled in his hair, pulling on it, he nipped more. âGod I feel like Iâm neglecting the other, better fix that. Right Sweetheart?â
You hummed in agreement, making Eddie cock his brow. âY-yeah better fix i-â You didnât get chance to finish as Eddie already began his attack.
You hips bucked up into him, making him grind down his own. Feeling his bulge grow in his jeans, your hands wandered down, squeezing him through the denim.
With a pop, he let go of your nipple. âExcuse me, what do you think youâre doing?â he asked. âI need you, please I need you,â you almost begged.
âI told you, Iâll give you anything you want. But you called me mean, so maybe I should make you work for it?â You eyes widened, youâd love to take him in your mouth, god heâd feel so good down your throat.
âOh no, Iâll give you everything. You want me to make you work. Well no can do. Youâll take what I give you.â He began to unbutton your jeans, sliding them down your legs.
There you were, in only panties whilst he was fully clothed. He reached for the edge of his shirt, but hesitated. âItâs okay,â you said, sitting up to kiss his mouth.
Slowly you lifted his shirt up and off of him, there were scars and bite marks everywhere. You could see the doctors had done what they could, but the wounds were deep, ragged.
âYouâre beautiful,â you spoke, kissing his chest, right above his heart. âSo fucking beautiful Eds.â Your mouths connected again as Eddie climbed out of his jeans, pushing you down on the bed.
Lay in between your legs, his fingers trailed up your thighs. Biting, licking, sucking at your neck, his fingers found their way underneath your panties.
âGod youâre so wet, all for me baby?â
âA-all for you.â You moaned when he brushed your clit, he smirked at that, rubbing again. âI bet I could just slide my fingers right in, better take the rings off.â
He went to move his hand, but you stopped him. âPlease baby I need you,â you spoke, begging him. âWhat a dirty girl.â His fingers slid into you, making you cry out, the cold metal stretching you.
âF-fuck Eddie.â
âAlready such a mess, better clean up,â he spoke, more to himself than anyone. Making his way down your body, he kissed everywhere he could.
Placing a gentle peck to each thigh, he let his tongue lick your slit. âFuck!â you screamed, hands tangling in his hair. His mouth latched onto your clit, sucking on it, as his fingers curled upwards hitting that spot over and over.
âF-fu-Fuck .. E-Ed .. oh my god,â you babbled. âDoes it feel so good?â
âMhm,â you moaned.
âI asked you a question.â
âY-yes, it feel so fucking g-good,â his fingers hit the spot again. âWhoâs making you feel so good?â
âYou!â
âWhoâs that?â You could feel his smirk on you thighs, mouth licking you again. âYou Eddie fuck. Iâm gonna c-cum, fuck Eddie Iâm gonna cum.â
âYeah baby, give it to me. Cum for me, come on Sweetheart, cum.â You let out a cry of pleasure, clenching around Eddies fingers as you came. Legs shaking, he pressed soft kisses to your clit. Moving his fingers until your fingers werenât so tight in his hair.
âShit Sweetheart,â he laughed. You lay there trying to catch your breath. âYou good?â he asked. You hummed, âYeah.â
âThink you can take more?â
âPlease,â you said, meeting his eyes.
âDo you uh ⌠do you have a condom?â
âN-no, but Iâm on birth control and Iâm clean and I .. I trust you Eddie.â
He smiled softly, planting a kiss on your forehead. He slowly slid your panties down, his boxers following soon after. Fuck. You knew heâd be big, but fuck. He was thick and long and ⌠well shit.
âCan you open up for me Sweetheart?â you legs spread for him, allowing him to line himself up. Slowly he slid into you. âF-fuck,â you moaned, he stretched you out so much. It felt so good.
âGod baby you feel so good,â he moaned into your neck. Soon enough he was in you, bottoming out. âCan I move?â
âPlease!â you cried out.
He did so, starting slowly, then building up a nice pace, nice and deep. You were squeezing around him. He smirked, taking hold of one of your legs, resting it over his shoulder.
Moving again, he was so deep, you could see him in your tummy. Each time, hitting that spot, making your body shake with pleasure. âEddie oh my god,â you cried.
âI know, it just feels so good doesnât it, fucking you so nice and deep,â his hips slammed into yours roughly, again and again, making you loose your voice.
You mouth was wide open and no sound was able to come out, eyes in the back of your head as he fucked you hard. His hand slid up to neck, squeezing softly. Rings cool, but sticky as they sat there.
âFuck baby, Iâm gonna cum soon, your pussyâs gripping me so good,â Eddie moaned. âCum-cum in me p-please,â you begged, voice weak as his hand squeezed.
âYeah you want all my cum?â
âP-please,â you said nodding, crying out again, âI-Iâm gonna cum again baby f-fuck!â
âCum all over my cock, come on Sweetheart, squeeze that dick.â
You did just that, body shaking, a loud moan leaving your body as you came, eyes rolling in the back of your head. Eddie groaned, thrusting his hips a few more times, âFuck Sweetheart, fuck fuck fuck fu-â hot ropes of cum filled you up.
The curly haired man dropped into your shoulder. Both of you breathing heavily. He kissed your shoulder, and neck where his hand had been. âYou okay Sweetheart?â
âIâm okay, are you?â
âIâm more than okay.â
He pulled out as gently as he could, making you whine. Climbing up from the bed, you reached out for him, âIâm coming, just getting a washcloth hang on.â
You closed your eyes, listening to the faucet run for a few moments. Footsteps came closer and soon enough a warm washcloth was being rubbed gently on your lower body.
âAll clean baby,â he said, kissing your stomach. He slid his boxers back on and helped you into his t-shirt. Pulling you into him, you listened to his heart beat.
âI donât think youâre mean,â you spoke up, which made him laugh. âOh I know, but I wasnât lying when I said, Iâll give you anything you ask for.â
âKiss me?â
He chuckled, pressing his mouth against yours softly. âI adore you,â he said, making your face flush. âNow Sweetheart, letâs get some rest, weâve gotta be up early.â
âOkay. Goodnight Eds.â
âGoodnight Sweetheart.â

HEYY YOUR SO PRETTY BTW AND I LOVE YOUR BLOG
the ask :
so, i wanted to get ur opinion on s3 mike. such as, what he was going through and his internalized homophobia. things like that!
maybe some things w/ him and his relationship w/ el too!
THANKS FOR ANSWERING IF U DO ANSWER :D
Iâm gonna pretend that Iâm fine after weeks of getting flustered just staring at this in my inbox! Thank you, anon!!! đĽşđĽş Youâre making me blush! But, uh, anyways! Letâs talk about Mike Wheeler! đ
I think that Mike in season 3 is the most interesting version of himself in the entire show because of how hidden his story becomes. In all other seasons, Mike cries openly with other people and expresses his sadness and fears over Will and El.
In season 3, though? Besides the finale, the tearful goodbyes narrated by Hopper, we never see Mike truly cry and explicitly talk through why. Sure, it can be pretty readily implied that itâs because of the Byers leaving, but we donât hear that aloud. We donât see exactly whoâs on Mikeâs mind as those cars pull away. We're left with silent and unsure stares, looks of seeming regret or something else unknown.
Season 3 is truly a huge turning point for Mike, heâs losing his girlfriend and arguably his closest friend in the Party, and it's so easily overlooked because it all happens at the very end of the final episode. Whereas El goes through hell and fights to connect to Billy and save her friends, where Max also feels the weight of his loss, where Will gets his heartbreaking scene at Castle Byers - all the Party members who are very linked to Mike get their emotional moments that season, and we know exactly why they cry.
But Mike dances around his emotions all season long. In consulting Lucas to deal with breaking up and making up with El, in trying to tell El that he loves her without ever saying it, in fighting with Will because "it's not [his] fault [Will doesn't] like girls."
Oh, Mike. I really don't think that Mike was out to hurt Will when he said that. Rather, it's a culmination of heteronormativity and the poor relationship that he has with El and trying to compensate for it. I interpret the outburst as him saying, 'it's not my fault that I'm in a relationship and you're not, so you wouldn't get it.' And by extension, Will being in a relationship would require, normatively, being with a girl.
But at the same time, for a jab that deep - I can't help but question more.
Mike could have said, "it's not my fault you don't like anyone!" or "don't bring her into this!" or even as simple as, "you wouldn't understand!" But no. Mike takes the direct train to sexuality station and brings up the fact that El is a girl. So it seems to me that Mike is very likely harboring something in his heart about why El being a girl is important for him to argue.
But we never know for sure. This moment is never addressed again due to the Mind Flayerâs sudden return. And so itâs up to us as the audience to decide what we think of Mikeâs statement. And personally, as Iâm sure many of you believe, too, I think that Mike is projecting and trying to hide the fact that he doesnât like girls onto Will, pushing away his problems to someone he trusts whoâs more similar to himself than he realizes.
Tied to his inability to say to Elâs face that he loves her, to the fact that they've - reportedly from Hopper - kissed all Summer long with no mention of meaningful conversation, to the very surface-level relational mending his makes by calling Elâs outfit âcoolâ and giving her candy, to the very end of the season where Mike once again denies saying that he loved El just before an open-eyed kiss and a face like this:
Mike doesnât need to say anything about that kiss for me to know that thatâs not the reaction of someone whoâs perfectly happy to be back together with his ex-girlfriend. So do I wish that we had a moment of vulnerability for Mike where he expressed his heart in season 3? Yes, but his nonverbals spoke volumes.
So, yeah, I think that in season 3, Mike is very much gay, but he he acts cautiously and self-preservingly because trauma is drowning everything out.
And what is this trauma? I know that Iâm working backwards, but I need to bring up that Mike was separated from El for so long in the time of season 2, and I think that that makes him so attached to her in season 3. Think about what else he says in that scene when he admits his love: âI love her and I canât lose her again.â
As sweet as it is to be reunited to El by the end of season 2, itâs not a clean reunion for Mike. Heâs in shambles when he learns that Hopper was lying to him and not letting El even tell Mike that sheâs okay.
Not to mention that this isnât his first but second time almost losing her to the monster that season.
Because of this unstable connection, I think that Mike has built a protective relationship with El, one that focuses on keeping her rather than knowing her, and we see how that all unfolds with his superficial âsuperheroâ complex he has of her in season 4. Season 3 was just the beginning.
And so I think that Mike in season 3 stands as a version of himself thatâs confused protectiveness with love. Even though he arguably behaves with that same mindset all the time, itâs at its highest during season 3 because of his never-ending insistence to help El even if sheâs capable to do things by herself. Mike isnât just clingy, heâs worried. Worried for her life. Thereâs no time to worry about where the problems in their relationship arise, thereâs only time to fix them and go back to how they were at equilibrium - when things were normal.
Thus, Mike behaves rather stubbornly. Heâs insistent and defensive, not letting a single thing slip through the cracks and risk any more hurt. In doing so, his personality is left far under the surface and unexplored. He only acts to stir up emotions rather than reflect on them, because any pausing to think will only confuse him more. Heâs looking ahead, looking at the light, holding onto everything good he has with all the propriety of a 13/14-year-old who has a heart bigger than his head.
Simply put, Mike is a bit of an anti-hero this season. And I think that it's because of this that he starts to get most controversial for the audience.
Iâm clearly a Mike apologist, but I genuinely donât think that heâs out to hurt anyone when he argues with others this season. Heâs just stubborn and loud about it, which can definitely be to his fault at times. But in the end, when it comes down to who he loves, I think that season 3 is the era of change, and that ending scene with Hopperâs letter paints the perfect setup for the next seasons to reveal that Mike has a lot more going on under the surface thatâs causing all of this. Maybe some regrets, things he wishes he could âturn back the clockâ on, regarding, say, Will and El and how he treats them platonically and romantically? Just a thought.
The question of the day for Mike in season 3 stands: is he being selfish or selfless? And I think that itâs a mix of both, blended in with some heavy confusion due to role changing (not needing to protect El) and uncertain affections (not knowing how to figure out what he has with Will).
So, yeah. All in all, I think that Mike is really closeted in season 3 and doesnât realize it until the final episode, and I honestly love him for it. As someone whoâs gone through similar hurdles of internalized homophobia as a teen, itâs really heartwarming to see him grow and figure things out, even if the journey is far from perfect. Itâs a humble origin story. And if he somehow ends up being straight and Byler isnât endgame, well. Iâll be upset at the writers, but the impact still stands.

hello! your theories are absolutely crazy and i love them- iâm truly convinced that the one with hopper is accurate. however, i was wondering if you had a favorite theory? one that you think is more likely than others? (i know most of them go hand in hand, but i wanted to ask anyway)
Thank you thank you!!! I honestly feel like Iâm Joyce Byers sometimes trying to explain these theories. đ
Because, anon, I *know* people will think Iâm insane and reaching but⌠I see the plausibility. I also just like to look outside the box, and expect the unexpected. Remember how difficult it would have been to predict Vecna during seasons 1-3? Itâd be nearly impossible (but there were cluesâŚ)
Regarding my favourite and the most likely- flayed Hopper without a doubt. That theory still drives me insane! While watching season 3, I can now pinpoint when David Harbour is playing flayed Hopper and regular Hopper! His expressions are over-the-top and his voice is less deep while flayed. Regular Hopper? Heâs more calm and stoic (but he has his moments too). During one of the regular Hopper scenes, the Major makes a comment: âwhy so serious?â đ§
(Side note, I *get* why David Harbour is so giddy about Byler- he literally plays Will at times. Lmao).
The concept of flayed Hopper (and others) is clever on grander scale too.
Because, think about it:
- Season 2 featured Will being flayed by the mind flayer. Season 3 featured Will doing the flaying. Itâs the reverse!
- Textually, we see the other William (Billy) going around âflayingâ others in season 3. While, subtextually we see our favourite William (Will) doing his own flaying too. Of course, Willâs âflayingâ is a lot less sinister, and a lot more funny/adorable.
- Will says heâs ânot gonna fall in loveâ- yet he LOVES love. Heâs going around playing Cupid with not just Hopper/Joyce but the other couples too; heâs living vicariously through them. (Notice how Will suddenly appears in the shot below when Lucas says the ârightâ thing to Max.)
(If anyone is interested, Iâll elaborate more on how Will is the love guru in season 3.)
But yeah, I also just have SO many questions about flayed Hopper too. Is Will aware heâs doing this? Is this ST3 Will doing the flaying or a future Will? Is ST3 a whole ass simulation created by Will? Is it just Willâs world and everyone is living in it?
âWelcome to my worldâ - Will Byers
(Look at this little guy playing with his âpawnsâ.)
I could go on but Iâll stop for now. Haha.
Thank you for your ask!!!
Also- anon (and anyone else), if youâre interested in joining my theory community group just message me and Iâll invite you!

New to the stranger things fandom. Do you have any good fic recs? Especially byler.
First of all, omg welcome! I hope you're enjoying being a part of the fandom!
Second, bestie I wish I could supply you more but I don't keep track of the fics I read at all :(. I have a few that I remember so I'll link those after the break! (but I gotta warn that all of them will be Mike-related and not necessarily canon because I have an addiction to his character):
'a cruel summer with you' by andiwriteordie, astrobi, and wiseatom: https://archiveofourown.org/works/48097207/chapters/121281193 Byler summer camp AU. Iconic & rightfully so. So so so good. [Ongoing, currently ~303k words]
'It's still raining. Why is it still raining?' by bouncehouce: https://archiveofourown.org/works/41543979 Mike angst, love it. + Mike&Hopper fiction is my fav tbh (after byler ofc) [Finished, ~2k words]
'The snow won't melt in mid-december' by GhoulSanderson: https://archiveofourown.org/works/45649651/chapters/114871651 Again, pure Mike angst. Love it. Also Byler, but might be pretty slight, I don't remember. [Finished, ~39k words]
'Please stay' by GhoulSanderson: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42486687 Madwheeler. Again, Mike angst but this time with Max. Madwheeler fiction is also my fav (also after byler ofc). [Finished, ~1.8k words]
'Code Purple Series' by BewitchingNotes: https://archiveofourown.org/series/3039501 Pure Mike angst as a series. No Byler unfortunately but very good and very sad. I reread a lot. [Finished, 15 works, ~24k words]
'Force of Gravity' by oceanfruit: https://archiveofourown.org/works/40134231/chapters/100515708 Byler modern AU. Also pretty iconic. Very good. [Finished, ~170k words]
'a stranger things group chat <3' by cosmicbrowniefan: https://archiveofourown.org/works/39748521/chapters/99513723 Byler. Everyone's LGBTQIA+ and it's amazing. This one's just very fun and lighthearted if I remember correctly. [Finished, ~69k words]
This last one's only for registered AO3 users so it's being difficult but it's 'The Darkest Eyes' by light_lanterne. Byler. This one is probably my top favorite but it's incomplete and seems to have been abandoned. It's "a semi canon-compliant character study of mike wheeler, his unaddressed trauma and his relationship with will byers, told through the eyes of a very tired jim hopper who canât help but to become attached to the boy who keeps dating his children". (Yes this is the only one I'm using the actual summary for cuz I'm lazy by the end of this.)
Anyways, I hope you find enjoyment out of at least one of these! Sorry I couldn't give you more, I haven't read ST fanfic in while as my hyperfixation has died down atm (still there, just not as crazy as a few months ago). Also I'm so sorry for how long this response took me! I had to gather the fics and had lots of family gatherings going on these last couple weeks so my time was limited!
Thanks so much for the ask! I appreciate you so very much! <3

September 29th, 1996
And I say hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey I said "hey, what's going on?"
I've had this song stuck in my head all morning, still dancing along to it as if I'm still in the gymnasium, my gold dress swirling around me. I don't know why this song - it's not particularly romantic, or fitting to the occasion, doesn't sum up how the evening had felt. Yet, it had been the most magical moment of the entire night.
One moment, dancing with Daniel to Duran Duran, then this song came on, the slow start meaning we didn't break apart yet, trying to stay close as long as possible, but when the chorus hit the entire hall threw their heads back, screaming along in a messy harmony. It felt like a dream, didn't feel quite real, like some kind of movie, when your heart feels full even though you're just watching it play out in front of you. Except, this time I was in the middle of it, screaming along with everyone else, and it felt like I was floating, wishing the moment could less forever.
That's not to say the rest of the evening wasn't just as wonderful. Daniel took me to an actual restaurant, which was a nice change of pace from the dinner, but I honestly can't tell if the food was even worth it. My stomach was too busy swirling with nerves, and I could barely get any food past my lips because we were too distracted talking and laughing. It was wonderful - he was wonderful, looking dapper in his suit and glinting golden in the candle light. As far as first dates go, I'm sure it couldn't have gone any better. Not that I'd know, as this was my first first date, but it felt like a dream, like something that couldn't possibly be real.
It was the perfect blend between familiar and exciting - the comfort of someone you already know, someone you already love spending time with, mixed with the nerve-wracking thrill of a new context, of possibility.
We were having such a great time that we were late to the actual dance, having lost track of time completely during our conversation. Whitney gave me this knowing look about it - I don't think she would have believed me if I'd told her we'd just been talking.
Anyway, we danced and we laughed and gossiped and I didn't even care that Mike and his 'party' or whatever was there. I'd already realised I'd have to get used to them being around the school in every facet - that includes chaperoning school events. The night was too perfect though, and I was not going to let anything darken my mood.
I did get to talk to Max though, and thank her for the birthday gift. She said she'd mostly just said 'yes' or 'no' to things Mike had picked out and it was no big deal but that she was glad I liked it. I also used the moment to ask about everything else - I realised that if Mike won't call to tell her things, I might as well ask someone else for intel. Apparently, Lucas and her still live in Chicago, and she works as a counselor at the blind school she went to after whatever happened had happened. Everyone is always so vague about the details, but I didn't want to ask her directly and force her to relive it. That's one thing that actually is none of my business anyway.
Erica is living with them while she is going to college - she got her Bachelor's last June but just started law school. I can't imagine moving in with Nancy while I'm in college. Don't get me wrong, Nancy's great, but it's college! You're supposed to go out on your own and become independent and stuff. I said as much to Max, but she just shrugged and smiled to herself. She said Erica was happier with them than she'd been at the dorms.
I didn't know how to go from there so I just asked about El. I knew she still visits Hawkins a lot, because opposite to the others, I see her around town sometimes. At Melvalds with Joyce or in the diner with Sheriff Hopper, or alone around the library in the center of town. But there's also stretches of time when I don't see her at all. According to Max she takes a bunch of classes at the community college, but also travels a lot - bouncing between Chicago and San Fran and New York. Max said that whenever Dustin or Jonathan and Nancy have to travel for work, she usually tags along too. I don't know why or how she does all of that, but it sounds like a dream. Yet, at the same time, I think I'd personally hate it.
She seemed happy enough though, and it's obvious she is happy. From across the room I could see that, as always, her smile was wide and her skin warm with a tan, her hair pinned back with clips that clashed with her new pink highlights. Most of the chaperones hadn't bothered dressing up, but she had clearly thought about her outfit, each item carefully picked out to form a particular look, even if it was just jeans and a colorful sweater.
I didn't want to outright ask about Mike or Will, mostly because I know what they're doing right now and asking about Mike felt too much like snooping. Max didn't seem like she was going to mention it on her own, and before I could make up my mind on whether I really wanted to know, Dylan came to drag me back to the dance floor.
It was only after we were taking another break some time later that I realised I still didn't know what Dustin or Lucas are doing. I assume Dustin lives in San Fran, as that's the only reason El would go there as often as Chicago or New York, but I don't know what he does there. Probably some kind of tech company or whatever. And I'm pretty sure I heard Mrs. Sinclair talk about Lucas following in his father's footsteps but honestly I don't even know what he does so that doesn't answer any questions.
Might be something to talk about on Friday to fill awkward silences.
Anyway the dance was amazing, and someone must have succeeded in smuggling in alcohol because there was a girl puking in one of the bathroom stalls before 9 pm. She was nice though, told me she liked my dress. Even that felt magical, despite her smudged make-up and loopy expression, the entire night like a daydream where I was floating on air and nothing could ever be wrong.
There was an after party at Selena's house - I swear kids of divorced parents are raising themselves because somehow their houses are always empty at the most opportune times - but Danny and I decided not to go. I didn't want to risk ruining what had been the perfect evening, and I knew I'd only get more tired and everyone else less sober. It also kept the evening quiet, just Daniel and I in the car as he drove me home, drunk on happiness and singing along to the radio. Last night, it seemed, for once, I hadn't cared about missing out. I still don't.
I mean - nothing could have topped Daniel dropping me off at home, getting out of the car along with me as if he didn't know what he was doing either but had seen a few movies, and walked me up to the front door. I knew dad would already be asleep, but mom would be sitting up in the sitting room like she'd done so many nights before, for so many years on end, waiting for her teenager to get home safe.
I had my jacket draped over my shoulders because it wasn't too cold yet and I liked the air against my arms after the crowded gymnasium. Daniel pretended to pull it tighter around me, only to use it as leverage to draw me closer and kiss me. It feels silly writing it down because there's nothing I can say to really describe it. No words that feel right or do it justice, that explain how I'm blushing all over again just thinking about it, my stomach swirling at the recollection.
All I know is that I wish I was still in that moment, still holding his face in my hand, gently scratching my nail over his cheek, submitting the feeling to memory. But I didn't mind when he pulled away, his face flushed and dark eyes shining in the porchlight, because I got to smile at him and he smiled back, blush deepening as he stepped away and muttered a goodnight, dimples digging into his cheeks where I'd held him.
I watched him go before getting back into the house, finding mom asleep on the couch. It was late for her, I realised, even though it was only a little before twelve, and considered the fact she hadn't had to stay up in a long time - not since Mike had left. I didn't want to wake her but knew I had to - if just to let her know I was home and she wouldn't wake up worried.
I still can't quite believe the night was real.
I really should get the reading done for tomorrow, but I don't want to stop thinking about yesterday. Or tomorrow, when I'll see Daniel again.
Love, Holly <3

Who do you think would propose first? Gareth or El?
also
Would you write a fic about Greatmage/Stali when they are older?
Aww thatâs such a cute question! đđ
El has totally already proposed to Gareth at her senior prom, and while he was incredibly eager to say yes, he had to be the voice of reason and suggest they wait at least until heâs finished college and has a steady job. (You just know my boy had a long lecture from Hopper about the importance of being able to Properly Support his daughter!)
But Gareth proposes literally as soon as he graduates college, practically the moment he finds El after the ceremony, still dressed in his cap and gown and everything. Their families and friends are all crowded around excited taking pictures and everything, and Gareth is just bursting with glee and wiggling around like an overexcited puppy and he keeps looking at Hop like ânow? Can I do it now?â Finally Hop pulls him aside like, I thought you wanted to do it later on at your house with flowers and everything, but Gareth says I CANâT WAIT so Hop just laughs and says okay go ahead.
When he goes down on one knee in the middle of that crowded⌠uhh⌠field or auditorium or wherever the hell college graduations are held (idk I never went to college lmao) anyway. Gareth drops to one knee, his sister Morgan, Kali, Chrissy, and Max all start screaming immediately, his mother Maggie and of course Joyce both burst into tears, and Eddie is probably completely oblivious and blurts out âwhat the fuck are you doing buddy?â before he realizes whatâs going on.
Gareth gets as far as âJanie, I love you, andââ before sheâs kneeling on the ground right along with him, and then theyâre both crying, and he forgets everything he planned to say and just holds up the ring and chokes out âwill you?â and she joyfully shouts âyes!â through her sobs, and even Hopper is brushing away a few tears at this point. Their friends and family surround them, cheering and applauding, and El makes everybody laugh when she eagerly asks âcan we go to the courthouse right now?â
*sigh* my babies are gonna have such a happy life together. đĽ°đĽ°
As far as older Greatmage and Stali fics, of course Iâd love to keep exploring their world and all their adventures! I donât have any definite plots or fics planned right now, but the hyperfixation is still going strong, so there will definitely be more of them in my future. đ if you ever want to send me a prompt, feel free! And thank you so much for this lovely sweet ask!!!
(P.S. check out the âeleverson artworkâ hashtag below for some absolutely FANTASTIC pics of our cuties, with bonus Stali in one!)

I Want To Ruin Our Friendship pt2
eddie munson x fem!reader
1.6k word count
summary you've been friends with Eddie since you were 5 but discovered it was the love of your life. You want more with Eddie but don't know if he feels the same. Will you ruin the friendship to find out?
fluff, idiots in love, friends to lovers
warnings none
Note still not edited. I don't like editing.
Part 1!
The only place I knew Eddie would never find me was the abandoned cabin in the woods. The only person I've ever brought here was Steve. Steve and I usually hang out here just to get away from Hawkins and relax. He said the cabin belonged to Hopper before he moved in with Joyce. Now it was merely a shell broken down by nature. I curled up in a corner bringing my knees to my chest, trying to keep warm. How could I have been so stupid? Leaving my lyric book on my bed for Eddie to see. He'll probably never want to talk to me again. His face is forever burned in my memory. That look of confusion, of what the hell. I was dragged from the thoughts by the sound of footsteps coming into the cabin. I began to panic. Had Eddie found me? Had Steve told me where I was? What was I supposed to tell Eddie if it was him?
"y/n, are you in here?"
"Steve?" I looked up
"Oh, thank god we've been looking for you for 4 hours, woman!" Steve jogged with concern on his face
"We?" I sobbed
"Yeah, me, Robin, Eddie, Dustin, Nancy, Will, Mike, Lucas, Max, El, Gareth, Jonathan, Argyle, like everyone" Steve dropped next to me. "Actually, I'm pretty sure Nace has gone to get Hop."
"Eddie has been looking for me," I asked, ignoring the rest
"Of course, he literally broke my front door trying to get our attention after you took off" Steve threw his hands in the air. "What happened anyway?"
"Eddie didn't tell you?" I looked at Steve with big eyes
"No, he just came running in screaming that you had taken off and he couldn't find you."
"Let's just say you and Rob aren't the only ones who know about my crush on Eddie", I sighed
"Wait, you told him?" Steve jumped to his feet, running a hand through his hair
"Not intentionally, I was working on a song, and Eddie came over, and I left the songbook on my bed" I started crying again
"Oh y/n" Steve sat back down next to me.
He pulled me into his side, rubbing a hand on my arm, allowing me to cry into his shoulder. Steve sat in silence with me until I started shaking. We were on the edge of winter, so the weather had been getting quite cold lately.
"Come on, we should get you back. I'm sure everyone has been sufficiently scared by now" Steve gave me a small smile
"I don't think I can face Eddie" I looked at Steve, panicked
"y/n, just take a deep breath. It will be fine, trust me" Steve held a hand out to me.
I took his hand and allowed him to pull me up from my place on the ground. We strolled out of the cabin into the woods. Once my feet made contact with the dirt path leading out of the woods, I let out a slight squeal.
"Are you okay?" Steve spun to face me
"Yeah, apparently, running through the woods without shoes isn't a great idea", I tried to laugh
"Do you want me to carry you?" Steve asked, concern on his face
"Please, if it's not too much to ask" I looked down at the ground
Steve gave me a small smile motioning for me to hop onto his back. Steve carried me all the way to his house, making small talk and throwing out the occasional joke to make me smile. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about getting to Steves, and I knew Eddie would likely still be there. Just the thought of Eddie was enough to bring me to tears, and I buried my face into Steve's shoulder and sobbed.
"Hay, y/n still thinking about Eddie?" Steve asked softly
I nodded into his shoulder.
"y/n, you should have seen how panicked he was when he couldn't find you. I think his beating himself up over everything. I can tell you for certain that, regardless, Eddie is still your friend."
We soon left the woods and were back in the familiar streets of Hawkins. It was only 3 streets across and 2 up from where we left the woods to Steves. I wasn't sure I was ready to face everyone, but at the same time, I was cold and tired and just glad to be inside. I think Steve much have sensed this as he placed me down, wrapped his jacket around me and picked me up bridal style, holding me to his warm chest. I sighed, taking comfort in his warmth. I loved Steve when we were together, but I loved Eddie more. Steve had never done one wrong thing during our relationship, so the day I broke it off with him, I spent hours sobbing to Eddie curled on his couch in his trailer watching movies. Eddie had been there every time I ended a relationship. He'd helped put me back together. He didn't know why I'd ended all the relationships, at least not until now. As we grew closer to Steve, I could hear the voices of my friends and Hopper yelling at each other over me. I felt terrible putting them into a panic like this, but flight wins for me every time when it comes to fight or flight.
"Are you lot certain you've searched absolutely everywhere she could have gone?" Hopper asked gruffly
"Yes, Hopper, we've looked everywhere", Dustin yelled. "Even the unlikely place of Eddie's trailer" "If she's still in town, then she's somewhere we don't know about," Robin said
"Jesus H. Christ" Eddie screamed
"Uh, guys", Mike spoke up
"Y/N", Eddie called, running towards us
I instinctively curled further into Steve, wanting to disappear. I heard Eddie stop before us, and I buried my face into Steve's chest.
"Y/n, are you okay?" Eddie asked. I could hear the pain in his voice
"Eddie", I whispered, every fibre of my being wanting to jump into his arms yet at the same time too scared to move
I'm here, sweetheart. I'm not going anywhere"" Eddie spoke gently
"y/n, is it okay for me to hand you over to Eddie? I want to make things more private for you two," Steve asked. I nodded into his chest.
Steve handed me off to Eddie, telling him to take me inside while he dealt with everyone in the front yard. I felt relaxed and safe when I was in Eddie's arms. I could smell Eddies cheap dollar store cologne and cigarettes on his clothes. Eddies arms held me tightly against his chest, almost as if he was scared to let go. Eddie carried me up the front steps of Steve's house and into his lounge room. Eddie sat on the lounge, still keeping me in his arms. He wrapped his arms around my waist and placed his chin on my head. I could feel the tears running down his cheeks. I pulled away just far enough to be able to see Eddies face. I placed my hands on either side of his face and wiped away his tears.
""I'm sorry I made you run away. Please don't run away again. I love you, I need you in my life, you are my life, I'm sorry it took me so long to see it, just pleaseâŚ."
I cut Eddie off with a soft kiss. Eddies hands found their way to either side of my face deepening the kiss. It was a kiss filled with emotion. Everything we never said was conveyed in that kiss. I could have stayed in that moment forever. Safe with Eddie, the man I love, have always loved and will always love.

Series Masterlist
Y/n didnât realize until Mike and Hopper left the room that Eleven was staring at her. âUh⌠hey?â Y/n said, looking like a deer in the headlights. Eleven stared at her for a second, looking her up and down all over.
âBitchin,â Eleven said, pointing at her.
Y/n raised her eyebrows, still very much confused.
âThank you? Youâre bitchin too. Nice coat,â she said, gently pulling Elâs sleeve. El took her arm and (gently) twisted it around, examining her wrist.
âHey, El, sheâs not from the lab. Sheâs just got tattoos. That would be pretty cool though, huh?â Dustin said, putting a hand on her shoulder. El nodded, a small smile on her face. She walked past a well-meaning Max and hugged Joyce.
âDo you know El?â Lucas asked.
Y/n shook her head, shrugging, âIâm just fuckin cool, man. Shut up,â she said, pushing his and Dustinâs head. Lucas laughed and Dustin flipped her off, fixing his hat and glaring playfully at her. El and Joyce went down to Willâs room to talk, and Y/n messed with Dustin some more. She wiped some dirt off his cheek and pat his head lovingly.
Steve came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, picking her up while her arms were caged to her sides, âSteven!â Y/n yelped, thrashing in his hold. Lucas laughed at them, and Dustin pouted now that she had literally been stolen from him. Joyce and El went into the kitchen and shortly after they were all planning again.
Y/n was starting to get whiplash from how many times they went from one plan to another.
âItâs not like it was before. Itâs grown. A lot. And thatâs considering we can get in there. The place is crawling with those dogs,â Hopper said. Y/n sighed, screwing her mouth to the side.
âDemo-dogs,â Dustin said, âIâm sorry, what?â Hopper sighed, âI said, uh, Demo-dogs,â Dustin repeated. Y/n sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.
âLike, Demogorgon and dogs. You put them together, it sounds pretty badass-â
âHow is this important right now?â Hopper interrupted him, âItâs not. Iâm sorry,â Dustin mumbled.
âPlease stop speaking,â Y/n sighed.
âI can do it,â El said.
Y/n had to admit that for a kid El was extremely brave. She had a lot more bravery in her than Y/n could muster.
âEven if El can, thereâs still another problem. If the brain dies, the body dies,â Mike said. Y/n furrowed her eyebrows, âI thought that was the point?â she said, crossing her arms.
âIt is, but if weâre really right about this⌠If El closes the gate and kills the Mind Flayerâs armyâŚâ he finished to let them fill in the dots. âWillâs a part of that army,â Lucas said.
âSo, closing that gate would kill him,â Y/n sighed. Mike nodded sadly.
Y/n blew out a breath and looked at Ms. Byers. She looked like she wanted to throw up. âI mean, what can we do? Do we just command it to leave? LikeâŚâ Y/n asked, shrugging.
âNo, this isnât some ghost. Itâs a virus. And Willâs the host,â Dustin said.
Ms. Byers walked back into the room where Will was laying. She shut the window, cutting the cold air that Will liked back outside.
âSo, this is a virus⌠and Willâs the hostâŚâ Nancy trailed, âWe need to make the host uninhabitable,â Jonathan finished. Joyce pursed her lips,â And if he likes it cold⌠we need to burn it out of him.â
Y/n sighed, running a hand through her hair. She could deal with Demo-dogs, and she could deal with schizoid kids, but setting a kid on fire? She didnât know. But it wasnât her kid, so she wasnât going to say anything against it.
Y/n, Steve, and the kids were told to stay at the house while everyone else got to go and do actual work. Y/n huffed when she sat down on the couch. âFuckin boringâŚâ she sighed. She watched with furrowed brows as Steve and Dustin wrapped up the Demo-dog in a quilt and carried it to the kitchen.
Y/n sighed, laying back and following the vines with her eyes in an attempt to occupy her mind. Mike paced the room up and down, looking a fool worrying about a literal superhero.
âYo! Can you quit?â Y/n yelled, âPlease!â Lucas sighed.
Mike huffed and faced them, âYou werenât in there, okay? That lab is swarming with hundreds of those dogs!â he said. Y/n rolled her eyes when Dustin yelled âDemo-dogs!â from the kitchen and sat up.
âYou werenât at the junkyard either! Weâve all seen them, we get it. Sheâs fine, Iâm sure. Hopper will take care of her, and she is literally Carrie on steroids! Sheâs fine,â she said. Mike went to argue again, but Steve strolled out with Dustin behind him. âListen. If a coach calls a play in a game, bottom line, you execute it. All right?â Steve said, wiping his hands of Demogorgon slime.
Y/n sighed and flopped down on the couch. This was so overwhelming. Between the rotting Demo-dog in the fridge, and Steve and Mike arguing over sports games, she wanted to kick something. âWhere are we going?â Y/n mumbled when everyone walked into the kitchen.
âHere. Right here. This is like a hub. See how all the tunnels feed into here? Maybe if we set this on fire-â
âThatâs a no!â Steve cut in.
Y/n hopped off the couch with a grin, âIâm so down for arson! Whatâs your idea Wheeler?â she asked. Steve yelled her name in protest, which got him a smirk and a shrug in response. The kids came up with a pretty solid plan. Set shit on fire, loop back around to the exit, get home free and be back by bedtime. Sounded decent to Y/n. She was more than willing to help out. Especially if she got to set shit on fire.
âHey! Hey! Hey! This is not happening! And no buts! I promised Iâd keep you shitheads safe, and thatâs exactly what I plan on doing. Weâre staying here. On the bench. And weâre waiting for the starting team to do their job. Does everybody understand that?â Steve asked, cutting his eyes to Y/n with a pointed look.
âI said does everybody understand that? I need a yes,â Steve said again. Y/n rolled her eyes dramatically, sitting on the couch again. âSure mom,â she sneered.
Steve stuck his tongue out at her, but the unmistakable sound of a revving engine and skidding tires interrupted their fun. Y/n laid back and looked out the window. Max and Lucas ran over and crawled over top of her. âHey!â Y/n yelled only to be ignored.
âItâs my brother. He canât know Iâm here. Heâll kill me. Heâll kill us,â Max said, looking at Lucas. Y/n quirked an eyebrow and stood to look out the window above their heads.
âRight. Close the blinds, Iâll take care of it. Steve, câmon,â Y/n said, shutting the curtains and walking out onto the porch. âDonât worry about it, Max. Itâs fine,â Y/n assured, shutting the door behind her. Y/n leaned on one of the porch posts, Steve staying on the steps.
Billy stepped out of his car, puffing on a cigarette. âAm I dreaming or is that you Harrington?â he asked with a wide grin. âYeah, itâs me. Donât cream your pants,â Steve sighed.
Y/n snorted, standing up straight. âWhat are you doing here, amigo?â Billy asked, âI could ask you the same thing⌠amigo,â Steve replied, walking up to him. Y/n sighed, walking over, and standing by him.
âBilly what do you want?â she huffed. Billy popped his cigarette into his mouth, slowly sucking on it. Y/n rolled her eyes, crossing her arms. She wished she had some boots on so she could have some kind of advantage over him. All she had was words and threats. No punch Y/n could throw, even a decent one, would put Billy on his ass.
âJust looking for my stepsisters. Now that I found one, I think you can help me find the other one,â Billy said in fake sincerity.
Steve hummed, âWell, I donât know the other one. And Y/nâs fine as you can see,â he said, âSmall. Redhead. Bit of a bitchâŚâ Billy filled, trying to get Steve or Y/n to tell him where Max was.
âDoesnât ring any bells to me. Sorry,â Steve replied. Billy smirked, taking his cigarette from his lips.
âYou know, I donât know, this whole situation⌠itâs giving me the heebie-jeebies,â Billy said, still faking his concern and confusion.
âWhy is that?â Steve asked stupidly.
Donât ask questions. Youâre never ever supposed to ask him questions. Billy took another drag, âMy thirteen- and eighteen-year-old sisters go missing all day. And then I find them here with you in a strangerâs house. And you lie to me about it!â he said.
Y/nâs heart was pounding. He knew. He had to know Max was there. Heâs just dragging this out. âBilly, if I just tell you me and Steve snuck out here to hook up will you go away? Weâre the only ones here.â She huffed. Billy pointed his cigarette at the window where all four middle school idiots were sitting in the window.
âShit. Listen-â Steve didnât get to finish because Billy shoved him to the ground. âI told you to plant your feet,â he said simply before he kicked Steve in the stomach and grabbed Y/n by the hair to drag her into the house. âAw fuck!â Y/n yelled, gripping his wrist for dear life so he didnât rip a bald spot on her head.
Y/n grunted, hitting her head on the doorframe as Billy slammed the door open. âOw! Dick!â she yelled. âY/n!â Max cried, seeing her sister practically hanging by her hair in Billyâs grip.
âWell, well, well,â Billy started, throwing Y/n to the floor, âLucas Sinclair. What a surprise. I thought I told you to stay away from him, Max,â he said, getting in the kidsâ faces. Y/n rubbed her eyes and held a hand to her aching head. Being yanked around by the hair and hitting her head (hard) on the doorframe and the floor did a number on her. Her vision was blurry, and she was uncertain if that was from Billy, or if she just lost a contact. The kids shouting sent a ringing through her ears and she winced, rubbing her eyes, and trying to gain some sight back.
âWhereâs Max?â Y/n mumbled, blinking through the last bit of blurriness.
âSheâs okay. Sheâs fine. Steveâs dealing with Billy,â Dustin whispered in her ear. Y/nâs head shot up and she turned to the kitchen where Steve and Billy were swinging at each other. âFucking ChristâŚâ Y/n sighed, stumbling to stand, and walking through the kids. âBilly! Jesus!â Y/n yelped, jumping out of the way of a flying Steve. Billy crawled on top of him, laying punch after punch to Steveâs face. Y/n kicked his back, throwing him to the floor and off of Steve
âYou little bitch,â Billy chuckled, grabbing her leg, and pulling her to the floor. Billy slapped her across the face and grabbed her chin harshly. âLetâs leave the fighting to the big boys, huh?â he growled in her face. Billy sat up and turned back to Steve, grabbing his shirt, and pulling him up. He didnât get much of a chance to start anything because Max stormed over, grabbed a syringe, and stabbed Billy in the neck with it. Y/n gagged, turning away from it, and hiding in Dustinâs shoulder.
 âYou little shit, what did you do?â Billy slurred, falling to the floor. Y/n slowly turned back around and passed her sister and Billy to check on Steve. Max grabbed Y/nâs bat, threatening Billy with the ferocity of a fully grown tiger. Y/n grinned with pride while still trying to wipe the blood off Steveâs face with her shirt. Steve was out like a light.
âLetâs get out of here,â Max said, holding up Billyâs keys.
âAh! Ah!â Y/n tutted, snatching the keys from the shorter girl, âI donât think so.â
The kids sighed in frustration at their plan being foiled again. âGet the shit we need for the fire. Iâll drive,â Y/n said.
The boys all smiled happily, high fiving before they ran off to grab the supplies. Y/n cleaned Steveâs face to the best of their ability and hauled him into the backseat of Billyâs car.
âGot a map!â Lucas said, offering it to Y/n.
Y/n stuttered, âU-uh⌠Max? You still wanna drive?â she squeaked.
The seating arrangement was extremely cramped in the two-door car, but they were on a mission so that didnât matter. Y/n sat in the driverâs seat, working the pedals while Max sat in her lap and worked the steering wheel. Lucas sat in the passenger seat to read off their map, and the other three were squished in the back.
âNancy?â Steve slurred in the backseat.
âYou put up a good fight. He kicked your ass, but you put up a good fight!â Dustin whispered to Steve. Y/n snorted, glancing in the backseat. âOh, my God!â Steve exclaimed, seeing Max and Y/n in the driverâs seat.
âSteve, relax. Sheâs driven before-
âYeah, in a parking lot!â
âThat counts.â
Y/n pressed harder on the gas in an attempt to make this conversation go faster. âThey were gonna leave you behind, but I promised that you would be cool, okay?â Dustin spoke, trying to calm him down.
âFuck this,â Y/n sighed, slamming her foot to the floor, and sending the car even faster. Steve, Mike, and Dustin started up in the backseat which was distracting everybody from the road. âEverybody shut up! Iâm trying to focus!â Max screamed. âThatâs Mount Sinai! Make a left! Turn left!â Lucas yelled. Max cursed and spun the wheel, turning left before Y/n could even think about pressing the brake. Y/n gripped the oh shit handle tightly, praying to a God she didnât believe in that she wouldnât die in Billyâs car.
âStop! Stop! Stop!â she squealed, slamming the brakes just in front of a huge manhole in the pumpkin field.
âIncredible!â Mike breathed, âTold you⌠Zoomer,â Max stated before jumping out of the car.
âAw, fuck yea!â Y/n exclaimed, pushing the seat forward and popping open the trunk. She passed out all the backpacks, and Mike and Dustin grabbed the gasoline. Y/n flicked her lighter, smiling as she ran her finger over the flame. After Dustin convinced Steve to get over it and help them out, they lowered themselves into the tunnels. âOoh!â Y/n breathed, looking around at the flakes in the air.
âIâm pretty sure itâs this way!â Mike called, looking at his hand drawn map. âYouâre pretty sure, or youâre certain?â Dustin replied, âIâm one hundred percent sure! Just follow me and youâll know!â Mike snapped.
Y/n sighed, âThatâs not helpful at all!â she called. Steve took the map from Mike and lead the way, asking Y/n to take the back so none of the kids got lost.
âThatâs literally a butthole! Why are we walking past a butthole?â Y/n laughed, pointing at the puckering hole above them. Dustin laughed and stared up at the ceiling butthole. The rest walked past him, and Y/n didnât notice he was missing until he started screeching and calling for help.
âFuck! Dustin!â she yelled.
âITâS IN MY MOUTH! SHIT!â he screeched before coughing and spitting. âGodâŚâ Y/n sighed, patting his back.
âIâm okay!â he said. Y/n laughed at him, patting his back again before they started their trek through the tunnels again. Y/n kept her arm around Dustin to keep him from getting lost again and she kept the mood pretty light by laughing and making some probably definitely misplaced jokes.
âAlright Wheeler. I think we found your hub,â Steve said. Y/n looked around, squinting at all the animal bones and random shit that was down there.
âLetâs drench it!â Mike said and they all got to work. Y/n sprayed gasoline all over the place, discreetly taking deep breaths because she kinda loved the smell of gasoline.
âIt smells so good in here, guys!â she yelled.
Steve snorted, a small âowâ coming after because of his nose.
âAlright, I think weâre good! Everyone out?â Y/n asked. At everyoneâs nod they all sat in the tunnel. Y/n handed Steve her lighter and nodded at him.
âYou owe me a new one,â she mumbled. He smirked and agreed, âOkay, you guys ready?â he asked.
âLight her up,â Dustin said. Steve flicked the lighter open, sighing about how much trouble he was going to get into before he tossed it into the hub. The vines lit up in flames immediately. Y/n stared at them in awe until Lucas her yanked away and they ran for their lives. Y/n slid around corners, picking herself up and almost leading the way with how fast she was going.
âWait! Guys, wait! Mikeâs stuck!â Max yelled. Y/n groaned, grabbing her bat from her backpack.
âLetâs help him!â Dustin said, turning back.
Y/n sighed, stomping up to where Mike was laying with a vine wrapped around his leg. âIs it really that big of a loss? LikeâŚâ she asked.
âY/n!â Max exclaimed.
âOkay! Okay!â Y/n sighed, bringing her bat down on the vine until it unraveled itself from his leg. She stomped on it a couple times and they were back off. Well, they were until there was another Demo-dog in their way.
âDart,â Dustin spoke. Dustin stepped up to the dog, trying to convince it to let them pass. âWill you let us pass?â he asked. It roared in return and Y/n gripped her bat tighter. âOkay. Iâm sorry about the storm cellar. That was a pretty douchey thing to do,â he said, and it chirped in reply. Y/n pouted, tilting her head at the scene. The dogs were kinda cute when they werenât acting like murderous, blood hungry machines.
Dustin waved them forward and they all slowly passed Dart while it was distracted with 3 Musketeers. It looked at them briefly, but it didnât seem to care so they all ran back through the tunnels.
âOh, shit!â Y/n yelped, tripping on her own feet when the ground shook around them. âWhat was that?â Max asked.
Y/n heard the Demo-dogs screeching through the tunnels, so she turned tail and ran without having to be told. She grabbed Max and lifted her up onto the rope.
âCome on!â Steve boosted Lucas up next. Y/n pulled herself up with Mike right on her ass. âShit!â Steve sighed, grabbing his bat and pushing Dustin behind him.
âSteve!â Y/n yelled, shoving her hand into the hole.
âDustin! Dustin come on!â the boys yelled in her ear.
Y/n shut her eyes tightly, waiting to hear her friends screaming while the dogs ate them bit by bit. But there was nothing. Y/n dared to take a peek and her eyes widened when she saw them standing there perfectly fine huddled together with hundreds of demo-dogs running past them. âCome up guys!â Y/n yelled, waving them up. Steve gave Dustin a boost before carefully climbing up himself.
Y/n pulled them all up and slapped Steveâs arm. âDonât ever do that again! I thought I lost my only friends!â she exclaimed. Steve laughed and hugged her, ignoring her struggling in his grip.
âYâall are some assholes for real!â she laughed, hugging Dustin instead. They laughed and went to go in the car until the headlights glowed brightly. So bright that Y/n had to hide her face in Steveâs shoulder to avoid the light.
âWhat the hell?â she whispered.
âEl must have done it! I think itâs over,â Mike said. Y/n nodded, stripping herself of her protective gear and digging in the car for Billyâs wallet.
âIce cream on Billy?â she asked. All the kids cheered and threw their gear in the trunk before piling in the car. Steve laughed and grabbed the wallet from her and looked in it.
âOhoho! William Carey Hargrove? This is golden!â he laughed. Dustin nudged his side with a roll of his eyes, âLike you can talk, Ashley,â he snorted. Y/n guffawed at him and grabbed the wallet, silently teasing him about his middle name before jumping in the driverâs seat. âLetâs go! Dairy Queen isnât going to eat itself!â

hi iâm back!! first of all let me just say how mind blowing your writing is????? EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU M FORÂ THE AMAZING CHAPTER!!!
im so glad dear billy is ur fav ep from season four too because itâs mine too and oh my god. you did so well in making everything fit so perfectly together bc yk bug not being in st is still such a sad truth for me (and itâs shocking how you arenât in the writers room for st s5 rn)
but anyways THERES ALOTTT TO UNPACK IN THIS CHAPTER !!
steve and bug first bc holy shiti swear i could feel my heart dropping multiple times while reading about themÂ
bug asking steve to choose max over her?? and steve pleading with her not to make him choose max over her and saying
âIâm choosing you, Y/N.â and addingÂ
âIâll always choose you.â YK WHAT HERES THE FULL SCENE BC IT BROKE ME IN HALF.
[âIâm choosing you, Y/N.â Steve whispers, lips pressed softly against your hair. Your body stiffens, he feels it, but he holds you tighter instead. âIâll always choose you.â
âSteveâŚâÂ
âPlease donât make me say no to you.â He pulls away, grabs your face and makes you look at him. Youâre pale, tears wet your lovely face, and all Steve wants to do is fall asleep with you forever. He strokes the crest of your eyebrow, kisses your forehead. âPlease donât make me lose you.â]
PLEASE DONT MAKE ME LOSE YOU?????!?!?!?!?!!? just stab me with bugs pocketknife please.
and before that scene i remember the conversation between them about how steve recalled feeling gutted after seeing nancy and jonathan thinking his night couldnât get any worse UNTIL HE SAW THE LOOK OF HEARTBREAK ON BUGS FACE and how it made him feel worse knowing he couldnât have done anything to prevent her from feeling that hurt
[âBut that night, it just-it really fucking hurt, you know? Thought Iâd never feel anything shittier, that my night couldnât get any worse. But thenâŚÂ I saw your face.â
âThe heartbreak on your face, that fact that I couldnât do anything to protect you from it. Thatâs what hurt me the most.â]
..AND THE MOST IMPORTANT LINE OF ALL (TO ME) [âAnd itâs why I wonât let anything else happen to you.â] and i know steve will try his best to protect her if it meant ensuring bugs safety in the end.
sooooooo whoâs gonna tell them that theyâve been eachotherâs protectors since day one without even knowing it!
these two are so special to me and itâs just so heartbreaking to see them this way, steve feeling so much fear, and anger :(
i understand his frustration with bug bc everyone can clearly see how sheâs putting her own issues aside (despite her literally being cursed with the same thing as my baby max) just to save max and thatâs not good bc itâs the BOTH of them that needs saving and bug being stubborn about it isnât helping steveâs current state :( also i saw ur reply and YOU USING a beatles song is so evil and i love it so so much!!!!!
iâm not ready for bugs visions cause ik shes been carrying sm guiltâŚwith the recent deaths of hopper and billy AND OMG THE NIGHTMARES???? dustin hearing her yell out billyâs name in the middle of the night âšď¸Â dustinâs being a champ rn LIKE i know heâs not showing it for the sake of his and bugs sanity but i know heâs going crazy in his head bc ITS HIS BIG SISTER?? AND HIS BEST FRIEND?? my poor baby is scared pf losing his bestest friend in the world :( i just need my Henderson siblings happy please </3
and lucas oh lucas!!!! my poor guy heâs literally never been so scared and worried in his entire life until now. THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING BOTH THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE AND HIS BIG SISTER IS SO âšď¸i need to hug him.
steve and nance r gonna be so best friends (alongside with the loml robin) and i love how theyâre becoming more friendly with each other now like the playful banter im ready! (i know they were civil and were already somewhat friends but still) i didnât particularly enjoy the love-triangle thing in s4 so iâm interested to see how youâll be dealing with all of it đ
btw iâm purposely ignoring jon rn. WE DONT SPEAK ABOUT HIM. (heâll fall to his knees the minute he gets to hawkins and finds out about the curse that vecna gave bug)
ALSO SORRY THIS IS SO LONG BUT I KNOW YOU DONT LIKE TO CHANGE THE CANON TOO MUCH so idk what your plan is with max and bugâŚbut oh my god the survivors guilt bug will carryâŚim not even ready. max and bug to me is like a literal reflection of each other and their relationship in this story is definitely my favorite thing ever. i donât even wanna talk about that one scene where bug was yelling at vecna to take her instead. i donât. i just mentioned it bc i feel so devastated and unready for whatâs about to come.
i read smth about how u said there arenât anymore disagreements between bug and steve!!! and how the rest will just be sad ones AND CUTE ONES (im holding u to that ml)Â
does this mean theyâll talk đ¤đ¤Â i need them to have a proper conversation so iâm crossing my fingers and wishing that weâll have that conversation alongside with the later conversation between steve and nance (and i believe that it was definitely done for good reasons!)
i listened to in my life while writing this btw and i feel so brave!!Â
okay iâm done !! iâm sorry this was long but i appreciate your works and iâm in awe of you !! pls never stop being great!! i hope youâre doing well <333 sending u sm love today lovely <3Â e
-đđ
dear billy supremacy !!!
and the entire steve and bug i choose you scene ,,, oh boy theres so many layers to that one specific conversation that i simply cannot wait to dive into later. for now, the entire notion of their relationship is that they chose to love one another !!! bug chose to wait, steve chose to trust her, and they chose to fall in love <333 i firmly believe that true love is choosing to love your partner, not just the chemical reaction in our brains, but the act of staying and trusting to be loved in return - THATS true love.
and steve revealing hes always wanted to help/protect bug <333 i love the porch scene. i love tying things together and also just seeing their growth throughout the seasons. in season 1 the porch scene was heavy with insecurity. bug was weak, back then. she didnt want steve to see how hurt she was (but failed). now we fast forward years later for season 4 and shes actively leaning on steve !!! seeking his comfort !! yet shes also standing her ground, doing what she believes is right (even if shes wrong). and STEVE !! he failed her in season 1, he refuses to fail her again in 4 :((
now bugs whole "hey gang lets focus on max not me haha" will cause a few rifts within the group - everyone knows its unneeded, they all hate shes doing this, but they also know that they cant change bugs mind. its very bittersweet and :///
max and bug ,,, u Get It. they ARE reflections of one another. max is fifteen, same age bug was in season 1. its very very very reminiscent of how bug was back then, stubborn and slightly cold but still so full of love and concern for her friends. max is where bug was, confused and scared and unused to asking (or accepting) help. bug sees this and she also is struggling with this. theyve always had a close relationship, but billys death changed everything and brought them closer together. bug feels a kinship to max, she feels responsible for her, and max knows this and almost resents her for it. its messy and very sad and hard and me not changing canon too much will make things even MORE heartbreaking and sad :(
but on a happier note: YES STEVE AND BUG DO ACTUALLY TALK !!! they have a whole lovely conversation later (in the very last ep lmao) that resolves a Lot i promise guys theyre end game i just like drama and growth.
in my life <333

On Steve, Billy, and fighting.
Let me just preface with I donât think the Duffers have thought about this or done any character work with Steve beyond deciding where to aim him each season, but nevertheless I like the little peeks at character weâve gotten thanks to Joe and head canons are fun.
I love reading and writing a badass Steve but I get why some folks go the route of âSteve canât fightâ and think that he is easily over powered; because lets face it the show does show that happening quite a bit, because punching Steve is fun according to the Duffers. My man has lost a fight to just about everyone but trained Russian soldiers and supernatural hell beasts. Which is just fucking⌠okay Duffers, but anyway I think itâs fair to assume Steve is just absolutely shit at hand to hand combat.
What I have noticed about Steve though is that he has really good hand-eye coordination (because Joe does) and as weâve seen now with the bat and the phone, if you put an object in his hand he can be pretty dangerous with it. Which became something of a gag in S4 with Steve grabbing at random objects the minute he thought shit was about to go down.
My personal head cannon is that Steve is good at armed combat (Iâm not talking guns but swords, knives, and other hands on weapons) because heâs got the skill, the stamina, and the courage obviously, but also itâs a style of fighting with a built in buffer between you and the violence you are committing. You get done bludgeoning something, and that can be plenty traumatic and intimate on its own, but never as intimate as harming someone with your bare hands is going to be. When you lay hands on someone, you have to feel it in your body and take part of the blow youâre giving. And I think it makes real literary sense that Billy as a character would excel at this style of fighting that requires you to be a weapon without a shield. Not all violence is viewed the same and brawling is a kind of violence that historically in the west has been depicted as dirty, low, and lacking in class.
Steve is both narratively and symbolically a knight in my opinion. The first time we see him in the role as a competent warrior heâs almost literally the kids knight in shining goggles.
This is why my personal head canon for after Billy survived being flayed (the S3 ending has no power here) is that Billy pulled this man aside and taught him how to fight with his damn knuckles.
Because it would piss him off I think, Steve being vulnerable like that because of some subconscious reluctance to grab something with his hands and wring blood out of it. Heâs got it in him (dude bit off the head of a bat) he just needs something to bring it out of him and Billy would be determined. Imagine Billy working him on the mats, grappling, wrestling, Steve getting frustrated with Billy slipping out of his holds. Imagine them boxing, Billy constantly correcting his stance, egging him on like, âdonât be precious with it Harrington, hit meâ until Steve just snaps and tackles him.
Imagine the conversations, both boys exhausted and dripping sweat, Steve passing Billy his water bottle because Billy has drained his and asking him, âwhereâd you learn to fight like this?â And learning that Billy had to, because Billy was born in a war zone and heâs never had anyone to shield him. Until Steve starts pulling that knight in armor shit on him, stepping in front of the government guys who want to keep him from fully integrating back into normal life. Organizing a âjail breakâ with Max, and arguing with the Chief when Hopper finally tracks them down. Imagine Hopper, frustrated, asking Steve how any of this is his business and Steve telling Hopper Billy is his friend. And they just keep arguing over him while Billy is sat there, floored because Steve called them friends. And then Billyâs libido that took a hike during the months of physical therapy comes back with a vengeance to make their next session super awkward.

if Jonathan dies, then I'd go on a mad killing spree. heck if it comes to Jonathan vs byler, I'd choose Jonathan without hesitation. Jonathan deserves so much love
Hi, first of all sorry for the delay in answering this!
While I too would be super upset if Jonathan dies in the show (mainly because I think it would be lazy writing and lousy ending for his character) but don't make me choose between byler and anything because my decision makes me even dislike myself lmao.
Anyway, I don't understand why we can't have both, why so many bylers are dead set on Jonathan dying, unpopular opinion but I don't think it's as foreshadowed as some of you think it is.
Maybe it's because so many want that angst for Will and kinda copy Max's arc in season 4 for Will in s5? But I don't see the narrative point to it and Will doesn't need Jonathan to die to have his emo phase.
Plus the fact that many want Jonathan to die simply because they think it would be more interesting for Will's development rubs me in the wrong way...
Look, I love Will too, he's my baby and I think everything revolves around him okay? But Jonathan is his own character outside of being Will's brother. Like is obviously a primary and important part of his character but he's not just that.
I already said in my other post how bad it would be for me if Jonathan, the parentified child, who even seems to give up his dream since he was 6 years old to go to NYU to choose a college where he can be close to his family ends up dying sacrificing himself to protect his younger brother.
Also let's think for a moment how Jonathan's death would really affect all the characters close to him.
I think many ignore is that if stranger things is serious about anything it is grieving and the death of its characters. Barb's death is something that still has a major influence even after 3 seasons, Joyce couldn't date Hopper in season 3 because she still wasn't over Bob's death. And I can say many more examples.
We all know is that this is why the Duffers don't permanently kill off their main characters and create characters specifically to sacrifice them for him sake of the plot. They said it themselves âWhen Barb dies, itâs two seasons of grappling with thatâ.
The Duffers said that even Eddie's death is going to have major repercussions in season 5 and I believe them, especially I think it's going to have major repercussions on Dustin's character.
Now imagine Jonathan is killed off, how would this affect Will? Joyce? Joyce who said she is not having any more funerals? Joyce who spent season 1 and 2 looking for her son and trying to keep him alive? Joyce who lost Bob in season 2 and lost Hopper in season 3? How would it affect her to lose a loved one again?
How would this affect Nancy and would this mean that all the drama about which colleges they are going to was unnecessary? Because dead people can't go to colleges.
This would have repercussions even on Argyle.
Killing Jonathan at the end of the season wouldn't make sense to me because how are they going to do that and have the Byers have a relatively happy ending and killing him off at the beginning of the season would feel out of nowhere and cheap and you really think a single season would be enough to encompass the repercussions of his death? To tie up nicely the problems his son-mother relationship with Joyce has? (I'm sorry but their relationship has problems that need to be addressed and even Jonathan's death wouldn't be good closure).
And not to make this about Byler again but what would be the point of having Jonathan as an observer of Mike and Will's situation in s4, not only in the van scene but especially in the van scene and if this in the end had no reason to be?
I hope this was a good answer and at the end of the day this is just my opinion so feel free to disagree with me.
Sorry for the rant and thanks for the ask!

Murray's Theory
Pairing: Robin x Nancy
Content Warning: Fluff
Summary: Murray sees how close the 2 girls are. He decides to watch then talk to them.
It was a normal day in the Hopper-Byers household. Hopper had moved in with them after everything Upside Down related. All the kids could visit at any time too and get support too. Max definitely took advantage of it, as well as Robin who both had shitty parents.Â
Hopper and Joyce were great replacements for them, and Robin would come over almost every dinner time. They also had recently learnt of Robinâs relationship with Nancy and were happy for her. This led to both of them coming together more, and being open with their affections. They were currently cuddled up, holding each other. They had been warned of Murray visiting, a groan coming out of the smaller girl. âHeâs gonna figure us out,â she has stated. This scared Robin so they decided to put some distance between themselves but still cuddle.Â
Soon Murray was over, his eccentric self already out. âHoppers. Byers!â he called out, walking in then saw the 2 girls. âBuckley! Wheeler!â he added on immediately.Â
âHow do you know my last name?â Robin asked, confused and blinking in shock, but also a untrustworthy glare, still holding onto Nancy and crossing their ankles so Murray couldnât see from there.Â
âJoyce talks about you a lot and how youâre special!â He grinned out. Robin relaxed then nodded before a small blush crept on her face and hid it. Joyce meanwhile just rolled her eyes and smiled.Â
âCome on Murray. You can help me cook dinner,â she spoke to which Murray happily followed, he loved to cook after all.
He would keep an eye on the 2 girls however.
-
Soon, dinner was ready. It was a roast beef meal with mash, gravy, carrots and green beans. âThank you Joyce,â both Robin and Nancy said in sync at the same time, causing both of them to laugh quietly. Joyce just smiled as she was plating everyoneâs dishes. âYeah, thanks mom,â Will also spoke as Jonathan nodded. Murray was offended he wasnât mentioned but he wouldnât say anything. He was more focused on Robin and Nancy anyway, and how they were sitting next to each other, constantly touching it seemed.Â
Nancy looked over at Murray, realising he was staring before she pulled away discreetly. He was looking at her and smirked, doing a whisper motion and signalled how he would talk to her later. Nancy rolled her eys, as they continued to eat dinner. After, Murray grabbed Nancy by the elbow, not explaining why and was taking her outside. âI knew you would find the one,â he spoke with a smile, causing Nancy to shake her head.Â
âN-no, Iâm not⌠you know,â she nervously responded. Murray smirked.
âItâs fine if you are,â he responded. âPlus, this Buckley girl seems cool and you are way happier than you ever was with Steve,â he added on. This caused Nancy to look down and think.
She then wandered inside, knowing that Murray knew from that point so she went to Robin and kissed her. Shocked, Robin kissed back and smiled. âWhat was that about?â Robin asked, her curiosity killing her.
âMurray giving me his blessing and how heâs happy I found you,â Nancy remarked, causing Robin to chuckle then kiss her gently again. They were soon sat down, cuddling.
