Relationships: Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson

Characters: Steve Harrington, Eddie Munson

Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Female Steve Harrington, Alternate Universe - Always a Different Sex, Famous Eddie Munson, Crack Treated Seriously, do i tag this as m/m or f/m i honestly don't know, BAMF Steve Harrington, Alternate Universe - Rock Band, Implied Sexual Content, no actual smut stevie's just horny, Firefighter Steve Harrington, taking the patriarchy out back and shooting it in the head, guy in the summary is NOT eddie, stevie get to verbally eviscerate a rude dudebro as a treat

Summary:

The guy snorts, smiling in a way that makes Stevie's hackles rise, and puts his shoulder on the wall next to her. She wrinkles her nose slightly, sidestepping back a bit. “Right, sure,” he leers. “Please don't tell me you're one of those fake hot girl fans. Like no offense honey, but you do not look like someone that listens to Corroded Coffin seriously.”

“Excuse me?” Stevie retorts warily, lifting her gaze from where she's been trying to subtly convey she's not interested in the conversation by keeping her attention locked to her phone. The alarm bells are starting to ring in her head at the guy's tone, and the smirking condescending look in his eyes. It makes her skin crawl, especially considering he's still very obviously looking at her tits.

Summary:

Out in the blinding sun, Steve shuts off the lawnmower and runs the back of his hand across his forehead, leaving a streak of dirt. His hair is pushed up and his skin is tanned and shining from the heat. Turning to drag the lawnmower towards the house gives both Nancy and Eddie front row seats to the way the muscles in his shoulders and back shift and clench, and the perfect shape of his ass in those little red shorts outlined in tight seams and parallel white stripes down the sides. Eddie wants to bite him.

Thanks for the rec!

[hollersparrow]

yet more characters internalizing what they are told by others, even if it's off-hand comments, and not letting people know that it bothers them.

'If you hold me without hurting me (you’ll be the first who ever did)' by 'charlies_ginger' is one of those fics that i could read until i die and not get tired of it. i am a huge steve fan to begin with and there are some amazing fanfics exploring his character in general, but this one is just *chef's kiss.* it follows canon for the most part (except fuck season 4's ending), exploring a variety of different times when steve got called stupid and took it to heart until he is told quite plainly that he isn't. it's a beautiful look into his character arc.

it also has steve cooking for the party and being damn good at it...which is amazing and precious.

Accessories:

Claddagh Ring from my late grandmother

Necklace, again from my late grandmother, that looks like this

This pride anklet

Clip on earrings, mostly from Claire's, these or these in particular

Dream Vacations: (doing this one in black so it's more visible)

Ireland or England. I am actually planning a trip to Ireland, England. and Scotland so I'm definitely made this the top of my list.

The Island of Tonga. This one is tricky because it's not a very feasible dream tbh. Tonga is very far from me but also this is a very environmentally selfish trip. The reason I want to go is because that is where Humpback Whales tend to migrate. I love whales and I would love to see them in the place where they are happiest and free.

Disney. I went when I was little and now I have 3 young nieces and I want to go with them because the magic of it would still exist for them and thus make it more magical for me.

The West Coast. For those that don't know, I am from Pennsylvania and the furthest west I have been is Wisconsin. I wanna see the other half the country on a big road trip.

Maine. I have spent about a week in Maine and it was my favorite place, to the point that I eventually want to move there. I wanna spend as much time as possible there.

Fics:

If you hold me without hurting me (you'll be the first who ever did) by charlies_ginger This one ripped me apart and is my NUMBER ONE favorite thing I've been reading lately.

2. Where the 20 Chain Links Lead by agentM40

Clearly I like to see Steve feeling insecure about his intelligence. This is my favorite trope right now and so far this one has ticked all the right box.

3. exeunt ; enter stage by stardustcoral

Vecna'd Steve is always a goldmine of angst and this one really focuses on the idea of Steve believing that he's hated by everyone before he can figure out that it's Vecna. A must read.

4. with no cross to bear (these words just come out) by hitlikehammers

Protective Steve is so incredible because that is his wheelhouse and he loves to show his love by protecting others HOWEVER protective Eddie is my jam. Eddie who will put everyone in their place and clear a path for his love is just simply too sweet and I adore it.

5. At Below Zero by StrangerSteddie

I am a whump girl through and through so give me all the Steve whump if you wanna see me happy. Truly if anyone ever wants to send me whump recommendations I'll read every single one. This is a prime example of well written whump.

Food I Don't Have Often:

Salmon, ironic because I am having it for dinner tonight

Oxtail. My mom made it once and it was soft and rich and so fucking delicious.

I call them Beef Rollatinis, it's been the birthday meal for the past few years. It's skirt steak rolled up with bell peppers, onions, and carrots with a balsamic glaze. It's the best.

Kentucky Butter Cake. It's so yummy and a pain in the ass to make.

Low Country Boil. It's a big pot of seafood all boiled together. We usually do clams, muscles, and shrimp, and then add in sausage, potatoes, and corn on the cob. It's expensive and kind of work heavy but it's so gooood.

Comfort Films:

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (Mamma Mia 2) WHEN CHER CAME OUT I SOBBED AND SCREAMED

Night At The Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian. I fucking love every NATM movie but this one in particular is the best fucking one. I am a history nerd and this one just settles so nicely in my soul.

The Wizard of Oz. Surprise! Me making Steve love Wizard of Oz is a reflection of it being one of my favorite movies from when I was little.

The Muppets Christmas Carol. IN THIS FAMILY WE LOVE THIS MOVIE. Michael Caine ate. By far the best Christmas movie ever written and nothing compares. I've watched it every year since I was 8.

Life is Beautiful. This movie comforts me but it also hurts me more than any other movie. It's tragic and painful yet goofy and loving and it makes me swoon every time but I have to insist that you watch it in the original Italian as Roberto Benigni intended.

Thank you so much love, this was a lot of fun!!!!

Request #234 could possibly be “if you hold me without hurting me (you’ll be the first who ever did)” by charlies_ginger

Send me an ask if this doesn't sound right & Remember to comment, bookmark, and leave kudos!

basically the fic sheds a light that everyone Steve loves calls him stupid in some way even if in jest (though it has not been a lot of times). Eddie is the exception and is constantly complimenting Steve's intelligence. i am not sure if Eddie did it with purpose, or if he was just doing it genuinely without noticing. either way it means EVERYTHING to Steve.

I read this on a03 earlier this year. I only remember Steve rubbing his and Eddie's relationship in the face of the younger hellfire (Mike, Dustin, Lucas) being very smug after they were teasing Steve about something ?

Hi! I’m looking for another fic from ao3 I can’t remember if it was a one shot or a chaptered story, I remember a certain scene where Eddie and Steve are getting spicy and Eddie bends Steve’s legs towards his chest and is really surprised by how flexible he is. Steve’s like I was jock, had to stretch a lot so wouldn’t hurt myself, or something like that. That’s really all I remember. Thanks!

P.S. thanks for helping me find the other fics! You’re awesome!
