Dating Eddie Munson was a novel experience.

For once, Steve wasn't the one rushing to open the doors or buying flowers. Instead, he got to be the focus of Eddie's undivided attention and unwavering devotion.

“I can do this myself,” he mumbled after Eddie dropped to one knee before him.

“I know,” Eddie glanced up with a fond smile, deftly tying the laces for him. “But I wanna spoil my baby, make him the happiest boy in the world.”

Blushing, Steve ducked his head and said softly.

“You already succeeded by being my boyfriend.”

He was pulled into a tender kiss as soon as Eddie stood up, feeling cherished and adored.

featuring Eddie Munson x reader (no assumed gender)

rating: general

wc: 1.6k

an: this is my first time doing one of these, and I was reminded of filling out those massively long surveys your friends would all email around in the 90s. I miss those. this was written for @corrodedcoffinfest!

𝔸𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕚𝕥𝕚𝕖𝕤 :: How does Eddie spend free time with his partner?

⟢ Eddie is the king of parallel play. Just being in the same room is enough to please him, even if you’re both absorbed in different activities. You’re lounging on the couch with a book while Eddie is noodling around with his guitar, or he’s at the table working on his campaign notes while you’re writing up a grocery list.

𝔹𝕖𝕒𝕦𝕥𝕪 :: What does Eddie admire about his partner?

⟢ I won’t lie, one of his criteria in a partner is how well you fit into his rockstar aesthetic. If you look like you’re ready to pose beside him on the cover of Rolling Stone, that’s a huge boon.

ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕥 :: How does Eddie help his partner when they’re struggling?

⟢ Eddie’s love language is acts of service, so when you’re having a rough time, he’s insisting you take the night off and let him make dinner—and it’s probably just boxed macaroni and cheese and maybe a can of green beans if he thinks about it, but he makes it with so much love. Then afterward, if you’re amenable, he’d break out his private stash and pack a bowl for you.

𝔻𝕒𝕥𝕖 :: What is Eddie’s first date with his partner like?

⟢ A disaster. He had big ideas of impressing you, but it was one of those nights where nothing went as he planned. He wanted to take you to an open mic night and wow you with his musical prowess, but the performance list was already full when you arrived. At a loss for a last-minute substitution, you wound up going to the Hawkins High carnival, where he was harassed by the popular crowd, he couldn’t manage to win a single game to get you a prize, and he nearly choked to death on his corn dog (then coughed so hard he almost puked). To top it all off, he was pulled over by a cop while driving you home, and the familiarity the cop had with Eddie clearly announced that he had regular run-ins with them. And to this day, Eddie has absolutely no idea why you invited him inside when he finally got you home, or asked to see him again tomorrow for a do-over.

𝔼𝕢𝕦𝕒𝕝 :: Is Eddie more dominant or submissive in his relationship?

⟢ Eddie is a very easy switch. He can and will take either role depending on his mood and yours, and can switch from one to the other with a moment’s notice.

𝔽𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 :: What is it like when Eddie and his partner argue?

⟢ Honestly, Eddie doesn’t argue with you very often. He struggles with feelings of inadequacy and fears the day you’ll wake up and realize he’s a worthless, white trash loser, and he’s afraid of driving you to that realization early. Much more common between you are the more playful, low stakes disagreements, like which dresser drawer to put socks and underwear in (the top one, obviously) or whether peanut butter belongs in the fridge or not (no). These ‘arguments’ are usually settled with a dice roll.

𝔾𝕣𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕥𝕦𝕕𝕖 :: Does Eddie acknowledge how much his partner does for him?

⟢ Oh god, yes. See above for those feelings of inadequacy, he is grateful as hell that you gave a freak a chance and somehow found him worthwhile, at least for now.

ℍ𝕠𝕟𝕖𝕤𝕥𝕪 :: Does Eddie keep secrets from his partner or does he share everything?

⟢ Eddie couldn’t keep anything from you to save his life. He tells you everything, and everyone knows that if they tell Eddie something, they’re really telling the both of you because he’ll tell you immediately.

𝕀𝕟𝕤𝕡𝕚𝕣𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 :: Has Eddie’s partner inspired him to grow or change in any way?

⟢ Your presence in his life has made him more focused and given him more drive. His rockstar dreams were just a farfetched fantasy that he toyed with before, daydreams of a better life, but now with you in the picture, he craves that success to be more than make-believe.

𝕁𝕖𝕒𝕝𝕠𝕦𝕤𝕪 :: How does Eddie handle jealousy in his relationship?

⟢ Eddie doesn’t fall victim to jealousy all that often. Those occasions when he does feel it flare up, though, it’s because he saw someone else flirting with you, and his response is to go over there and slip an arm around you, maybe give you a slightly-too-deep kiss, and remind the other person that you’re already spoken for.

𝕂𝕚𝕤𝕤 :: Is Eddie a good kisser?

⟢ He’s not too bad! He doesn’t have a whole lot of experience when you first get together—there haven’t been many people in Hawkins willing to take a chance on a Munson—but he does have some natural talent, and he’s a quick learner with practice.

𝕃𝕠𝕧𝕖 ℂ𝕠𝕟𝕗𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕠𝕟 :: How does Eddie confess his love to his partner?

⟢ In song. He stresses out for a while over how to get to the next level with you, and he finally decides that since music is his forte, he’ll write you a song and perform it for you.

𝕄𝕒𝕣𝕣𝕚𝕒𝕘𝕖 :: Would Eddie want to marry his partner?

⟢ Eddie would be one of those guys who proposes to his partner and then stalls in the engaged phase for years, putting off the actual marriage. It’s not that he doesn’t want to marry you (he does!), but he’s worried (perhaps subconsciously) about tying himself to you and becoming a weight that holds you back, ruining your life by making you a Munson.

ℕ𝕚𝕔𝕜𝕟𝕒𝕞𝕖𝕤 :: What does Eddie call his partner?

⟢ Princess, sweetheart, baby, babe. If he’s in a goofy mood, he’ll call you ‘my liege’ (often with a deep bow and a thick accent).

𝕆𝕟 ℂ𝕝𝕠𝕦𝕕 ℕ𝕚𝕟𝕖 :: What is Eddie like when he’s in love?

⟢ Oh god, I hate to say this, but I think he’s that guy who kind of slowly starts drifting away from his friends in favor of spending time with his partner instead, at least for a while, and it causes tension between you and them. When he starts cancelling Hellfire at the last minute and not showing up to band rehearsal, the others start getting angry with him.

ℙ𝔻𝔸 :: Does Eddie openly share affection with his partner, or is he more private?

⟢ This man would fuck you in the hallway at school if you asked him to. Once you’ve made it clear that you aren’t afraid of everyone knowing you’re with him, he can be downright obnoxious with his affection. You’re the couple making out in the hall during class change, causing a traffic jam. You’re the couple who gets caught in closets and bathrooms at every party. More than once, Wayne has had to clear his throat rather loudly to remind Eddie that he’s still in the room.

ℚ𝕦𝕚𝕣𝕜 :: What’s a random action Eddie performs for his partner?

⟢ He learns your routine and makes a point to ask if you want a ride to work today before you even say anything, or he’s already waiting for you outside your classes so he can walk with you to your next one.

ℝ𝕠𝕞𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕖 :: How romantic is Eddie?

⟢ Very romantic. He’s making you new mix tapes weekly. Whenever he stops for gas, he always comes back to the van with your favorite snack without being asked. (He may have taken the five-finger discount, but it’s the thought that counts!) He holds doors open for you with a sweeping bow. He makes a big production of giving you a pin off his battle vest or one of his rings.

𝕊𝕦𝕡𝕡𝕠𝕣𝕥 :: How does Eddie help his partner achieve their goals?

⟢ You have never heard a pep talk until Eddie gives you one. He is a stalwart and unwavering pillar of support, and no one believes in you as much as Eddie believes in you.

𝕋𝕙𝕣𝕚𝕝𝕝 :: Does Eddie like to experiment and try new things, or does he prefer familiarity?

⟢ Eddie is always down to try something new, especially if it’s something you’re interested in. Whether it’s a new movie in a genre he doesn’t gravitate toward, or heading into the city to try a new restaurant cuisine that’s caught your attention, or a new bedroom activity, Eddie’s down for it.

𝕌𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕚𝕟𝕘 :: How well does Eddie know his partner?

⟢ Pretty damn well. Sometimes you might think he’s not listening while you’re talking, but even when he looks distracted, he never misses a word. He knows your favorite color, the foods you hate, your class or work schedule, the kind of future you daydream about. If you have a menstrual cycle, he doesn’t have it memorized but he can always tell immediately when your uterus is making problems.

𝕍𝕒𝕝𝕦𝕖 :: How important is Eddie’s relationship to him?

⟢ It’s literally the single most important thing in Eddie’s life. It’s the greatest thing he’s ever had, and he knows he doesn’t deserve anything this good. He loves you more than his guitar, which speaks volumes on its own.

𝕎𝕚𝕝𝕕 ℂ𝕒𝕣𝕕 :: A random fluffy headcanon.

⟢ The first year you were together, Eddie very nearly forgot your birthday. It wasn’t until a quarter to midnight that he remembered, and he tore out of the trailer like a man on fire to get over to your place before midnight, nothing but apologies and affection and promises to make it up to you this weekend. Since then, he goes out of his way to make a big deal of your birthday every year.

𝕏𝕆𝕏𝕆 :: Does Eddie like to be affectionate with his partner?

⟢ Oh yes. Given a choice, Eddie would be attached to your hip 24/7. He loves to hold your hand, put an arm around you, give you little kisses, cuddle up to you. If acts of service is his primary love language, physical touch is a close second.

𝕐𝕖𝕒𝕣𝕟𝕚𝕟𝕘 :: How does Eddie cope when he’s missing his partner?

⟢ If at all possible, the quickest cure is to just go see you. Eddie’s liable to show up at your place at any hour of the day or night, looking a little lost and forlorn, just wanting to see you. If you’re unreachable like that, oh, how this boy pines for you. He’s a mopey, moody, melancholy mess. Wayne has to tell him to go outside and get some sunlight before he makes the mold in the trailer flourish with that storm cloud over his head.

ℤ𝕖𝕒𝕝 :: To what lengths would Eddie go for his relationship?

⟢ Eddie would brave the Upside Down alone to preserve your relationship. He would bitch and moan the entire way, but he would do it if it meant keeping you.

I love the Eddie munson TikTok saga and it’s currently my favorite thing to reread!!! I was thinking that maybe people on TikTok don't know how much Steve loves Eddie cuz steve is usually on the receiving end on Eddie’s TikTok videos and because the upside down is gone, he doesn’t have to keep diving headfirst into danger to protect people, so what is Steve’s love language?

Steve’s love language is acts of service!

It doesn’t happen often anymore, but there was a time when there were always protesters outside of Corroded Coffin’s shows. There was a time when every reporter only had questions about Chrissy Cunningham and what really happened during the Spring Break of ’86, so no.

Steve doesn’t have to throw himself headfirst into danger anymore, but he will. He’ll shove the protesters away. He’ll shut down an interview that he had no authority over. He’ll do what he needs to do to keep Eddie safe and happy.

Steve knows what a haunting looks like because he sees it in Eddie’s face during those moments and he makes vows like sage and holy water that he’ll do everything he can to never see it again, but not every battle has to be fought with nails in a bat. Sometimes cookies will do.

Sometimes a warm house and a health dinner cleanses the ghost. Sometimes listening to loud music or talking about nerdy games does it. Sometimes when the nightmares are really bad and Eddie can’t sleep for more than an hour, all it takes is a warm bath, a cuddle, and just being there.

And of course, Steve does the big romantic gestures because Steve is a big romantic guy, but it’s the small things that make Eddie feel like he’s the luckiest guy in the world. Eddie has arthritis in his hands and he never has to say when it’s bothering him, but Steve always knows and he’ll massage his hands until the pain goes away.  Steve pays attention and he knows Eddie well enough to see where he’s struggling sometimes before Eddie does, and he always takes care of him.

Dating Eddie Munson Headcannons || X Male Reader!

For my friend @litteralyjustawriter , enjoy!

ASKS ARE OPEN!! IF YOU HAVE ANY REQUESTS PLEASE ASK!!

Eddie was the first to fall, and also falls the hardest. When he gets into a relationship, he becomes a tad bit obsessive, but not in a creepy way. He just really likes his boyfriend and wants to learn everything about him. To some people he can come off as creepy because of how invested he gets, but to you it's kind of endearing.

He loves laying down on his bed or the couch and having you lay down on top of him. He enjoys the extra pressure and the closeness of the two of you. He eagerly welcomed your warmth and your inviting and familiar scent. 9 time out of ten he falls asleep within minutes of you on top of him like that.

He loves to startle you, but not in a mean way. If you hate it and ask him to stop, he will definitely stop. But he likes hiding behind things and jumping out to spook you. But he respects your boundaries and doesn't want to piss you off.

If you have long hair, he will start playing with it, braiding it and what not. If you have short hair, he'll run his fingers through it and just play with the soft strands.

He also loves it when you play with his hair and sometimes he'll ask you to help french braid his hair to keep it out of his face.

You asked Eddie on a date first, but he didn't register it as a date. He just registered it as hanging out with you, which the two of you do all the time. So when you went in to kiss him, he was very confused. But of course, he kissed back. But after you pulled away he just tilted his head in confusion. " Wait wait wait. When you said 'will you go out with me?' I thought that was just a weird way of asking to hang out. " "Oh my God Munson, are you dense?" "Apparently so."

But he finally figures it out and then immediately becomes disappointed that he wasn't able to ask you on a date first. But kissing you again made up for it.

He's definitely the kind of guy to play music at you and not really realize it. At first, it's a bit awkward. He's just playing his guitar and thinking he's being really suave, when really he's just sitting there playing Metallica for an hour straight while you sit there awkwardly. But as time goes on, you begin to appreciate how happy he is when he's playing music, and how skilled he is. You show up to his band rehearsals frequently, just to see him smile.

He teaches you how to play guitar. Or at least he tries to, because he wants to share an interest with you. But if he figures out that playing guitar isn't really your thing, he decides to try and take up some of your interests.

He steals you things. Oh 100% he steals you things. At first he passed it off as stealing something like a ring for himself but it didn't quite fit him right, but oh look at that it fits you perfectly. But after a while he just gives up and starts directly stealing things for you and not trying to pass it off as anything.

Eddie definitely knows how to sew. Now he doesn't know how to sew much, mainly just how to mend clothes and sew on patches. But even if you know how to see, Eddie wants to mend your clothes for you, because he wants to show how much he cares about you by fixing your things- even if you're perfectly capable of doing it yourself.

Now he's not great at taking care of himself, but his main love language is acts of service. Though some things he does are a bit unconventional. If you smoke, he definitely rolls your joints for you, and lights them for you. He'll tie your shoes, help you fold your laundry, help go grocery shopping, water your plants, hell he'll even get into fights for you. But that's mainly just because he's protective.

He of course also likes to give gifts, physical touch and quality time. But if you ask him to do anything, he'll do it. He cares so much about you.

After his band gets their first gig, he gets you to kiss his guitar pick for good luck. Then after the show, which goes well, he turns the guitar pick into a necklace that he wears everywhere for good luck.

When it comes to physical touch, at first he's really nervous about it. He doesn't know where to put his hands when you're kissing him, he also doesn't know where to put his hands in general. He doesn't know when the appropriate time is for a hug, he also feels awkward holding your hand in public, but not because he's worried about what people think, because he's worried about what you think. Is his palm too sweaty? Is he holding your hand too tight? Too loose? Do you even want to hold his hand? But after a while he really enjoys it, but isn't the biggest fan of pda.

He gives you his rings sometimes to wear, and sometimes he simply forgets to take them back. He loves seeing you wear his rings wether that be on your fingers or on a chain around your neck.

If he even thinks for a moment that you're cold, that jacket of his is going around your shoulders. He doesn't want his boyfriend to get sick from being cold! Also he thinks you look really hot in his jacket and would love for you to just wear it all the time.

I'll probably do more of these tbh. They're fun to do and easier than writing a whole damn fic rn because of work.

Chapter 0: Vecna’s trap.

Hawkins, Thursday, July 4th 1985.

During Starcourt’s battle that led to Billy Hargrove’s and Jim Hopper’s sacrifice, Vecna was observing the struggles of his mind flayer from the obscurity of the Upside Down. He thought that it was time for him to deploy his last weapon, who’s about to cross the portal to Hawkins to help him to destroy Eleven. This weapon ? It’s Carrie Newman.

Vecna has been holding Carrie for two years more or less. Her life was normal, the life of a teenager from Indianapolis. She had her family and friends, with whom she loved to reunite to have a Dungeons & Dragons session after school.

On a winter night of 1983, after another Dungeons & Dragons game with her friends, she vanished suddenly right in the middle of the road, a few meters away from her home.

Carrie’s parents, mister and miss Newman, worried immediately about her absence. They called her friend’s parents, who hosted the game, but she left a long time ago already. They panicked right away. Without waiting another minute, they jumped in their car and went to look for her. It took no less than a few minutes for them to stop on the side of the road when they noticed their daughter’s belongings on the cold concrete, without any sign of her. They wandered in the big forest that was along the road to find her, but in vain. It’s in a desperate state of mind that mister and miss Newman went to the nearest police station to report Carrie’s disappearance.

Hopefully, the policemen took their testimony very seriously. Carrie’s parents brought them to the scene. But, even the police didn’t find her. The investigation of Carrie’s vanishing opened in the following days. Searches took place, where all the neighborhood participated. But despite this, and the presence of police service dogs, Carrie was still nowhere to be found. The investigation closed a few months later, since it was leading nowhere. It became a cold case, the file forgotten deep in the police officer’s drawers, and her name and face became forgotten too. A year later, mister and miss Newman, devastated, left Indianapolis without a warning, to move to California. It became unbearable to live in their house without their daughter with them. They took just a little bit of their belongings and left to Carrie’s maternal grandparents, who were devastated as well.

Meanwhile, Carrie was stuck in the Upside Down. Terrified, she couldn’t even move. She tried to call for help, but no one was answering. Why her ? What did she do to deserve this ? Where was she ? Who brought her here ? So many questions were flowing in the teenager’s mind.

Vecna noticed her for a while before capturing her. He’s been intrigued by her excellent way to play Dungeons & Dragons, but also because of her logic and her strategic mind.

He kidnapped her to help him to bring chaos in Hawkins. In his plans, the brunette would be like another person to manipulate in obeying him and act as he wishes. He could shape her mind the way he wanted. He formatted her, like a machine, so his plan will be more than perfect.

A/N: Happy New Year loves ! Wishing you all the best for this year of 2025, health, happiness and wealth. What’s better to start this new year than with new content ? Especially with a new fanfiction ! I started to write this in the summer of 2022 and never finished it, sadly. BUT I’m motivated to finish it, in both French and English. I hope you’ll like it because this fanfic is kind of my baby. Much love, Sallie. ❤️

HONEYMOON MATCHUP WITH : EDDIE MUNSON

— honeymoon

eddie has always loved you, since the moment you saved him from those stupid bullies in second grade, even though the two of you got beat up — you still asked him if he was okay, and of course he said yes, he was amazed by how brave you were back then and how you stood up for him, a kid you've never met before and one who had a reputation for being a freak — nevertheless, ever since that moment, the two of you stuck together like glue, and you grew up to be close friends, or maybe something more than just friends — not that eddie would ever go over that line.

it started in second year of highschool when eddie realized he might've felt something more for you than just regular friends — which was weird because you never expressed anything that said you were interested in him like that — ignoring the way you usually hugged him too tightly or the sloppy kisses you placed on his cheeks, at first it was okay and normal, but ever since his fat crush on you, his heart always leapt to his throat whenever you made contact with him. he was starting to see you more than a friend with every passing day, and god, it was no good for him —he knew he needed to stop, needed to get this thoughts out of his mind and bury his feeling deep and take them with him to the grave, but he couldn't help it, couldn't help staring at you for too long, couldn't help craving your touch, couldn't help thinking about the way your lips could press up — no, no, he can't think like that.

and then came the late afternoon where the two of you were sitting by your secret spot — the bench in the woods, as eddie liked to call it ( he said it sounded ominous ) you weren't sitting on the bench, no, eddie sat up by a tree bark with your head resting in his lap, rambling on about the new album of your favorite band, while the light of the setting sun bounced on your face perfectly, defining your features and adding a golden glimmer to your already sparkling eyes — eddie wasn't listening to a word you were saying, his gaze dead set on your lips, how the moved, how pretty and plump they looked, and before he even knew it, he was leaning over, pressing his lips to yours, tasting the cherry lip balm you always wore tat made your lips pink and shiny and so irresistible— it was only to his surprise that you kissed him back.

— what's on the radio : me and your mama, childish gambino

a/n : i love eddie's hair sm, ty for the request <3 also i think you're really cool

For the 1K celebration:

I’m Sarah, my favorite color(s) is blue and purple, my favorite animal is a dog, but I adore cats as well & im a workaholic, I love to cook and my love language is gift giving & Acts of Service

Hi Sarah! I am so sorry this is like six months late, life has been... oh, you know. You've been with me through it all and I appreciate and love you so much.

Okay so as with all of these celebration asks (WELL overdue💀), I set a timer for 10 minutes and let my fingers loose on the keys!!!

-----

Eddie absolutely loves you. You're one of the most sweetest, hard-working, patient and gentle people he knows; you kind of remind him of Uncle Wayne because you go through so much shit, and yet you're still so kind, you're genuinely doing your best, and he admires those qualities in people. You're very definitely a Munson, honourary at least.

Your favourite colours are at a total contrast to Eddie's black on black, but he adores that; black, blue and purple all go together, they complement one another perfectly. As do you and Eddie, as Uncle Wayne states as often as he can. Both Munsons worry about you, both Munsons want you to take better care of yourself, both Munsons wish you didn't have to work two jobs at once, but they're both so proud of you.

You love cats and dogs, so it's a good thing that Forest Hills Trailer Park has many of each animal for you to fawn over. He likes to feed the strays with you; it was initially something for the both of you to do togedther as friends before Eddie bit the bullet (read: Uncle Wayne bribed him with a new Metallica vinyl) and finally asked you out. Date nights always start by looking after the strays and more often than not, Eddie forgets what he's doing while he's doing it because he's just so transfixed by you. He loves you so much, Sarah.

You love to cook and Eddie loves to eat, so it's not unusual for him to come back from Hellfire to find you and Uncle Wayne cooking up a storm in the kitchen; Friday nights always end with the three of you falling into your respective food comas. You both have the same long languages and never let the other person think for even a second that they're not wholly loved.

[futurecorps3]

Hey lola, congrats on 800 followers <3 <3. Could I please get a • 🩸”Kir Royale” and a • 🎬 “Black Heart Daiquiri”.

Stranger things or marauders for the kir Royale please!

I'm a straight female and my pronouns are she/her. I'm fairly introverted and it takes me a while to warm up to people. I love reading, my room is filled with stacks of books. I adore adventures, witty and playful banter, pulling harmless pranks, joking around and having indepth discussions on anything and everything. I love helping out and people come to me to vent or for advice and comfort. I'd consider myself really smart and I'm very ambitious; I love being the best at everything I do. I daydream a lot and I'm a hopeless romantic. My love languages are acts of service and quality time. I'm a ravenclaw, taurus and my mbti is infp. My music taste is mostly indie rock, indie pop and shoegraze! I love watching movies very, very much and I'll watch literally anything lmao. Genres I always enjoy though are drama, romcoms and mysteries.

For the 🎬, who would you be best friends with in the marauders and stranger things universe? And who do you think you'd not get along at all with?

Thanks!

Thank you so much dear! <3

PLEASE THAT WHOLE DESCRIPTION SCREAMS REGULUS BLACK!!!

Library dates!!! You probably met in one to be honest. I've always thought he likes making pranks with Barty and Evan just like the marauders, they're just subtle and quiet about it so ofc making silly pranks with him. I can see you dancing with and without music in your first flat <3

And for Stranger Things... Jonathan Byers!

The kids go looking for you to the movies when they can't find you. Your obsession for cinema is one of the things you enjoy sharing a lot! His room is filled with pictures of you reading. He of course comes to you with his problems and well for that adventure bit... we know you won't have a shortage of it! <3

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥

⇢Who would you be best friends with in the marauders and stranger things universe?

What a great question! I feel like Sirius and I are basically the same person (the trauma too), and that makes me think the other marauders would like me too. I think my personality is very versatile and I could get along with more introverted people like Reggie (who my best friend of a literal decade kins). As for ST, Robin is the absolute love of my life! And I actually think we'd kick it off, with Steve and Eddie too (went through that Munson era and when S5 comes out I'll fall right back in)

⇢Who do you think you'd not get along at all with?

Girl when I tell you Lily Evans would absolutely hate my guts 😭 WORST THING IS I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY! I feel like we just don't match at all, very much contrast, a very 'you love it or you hate it' situation. Pandora too and ugh that hurts. I feel like I'm too loud and too much for her lovely, calm personality! But that's okay. For ST... I don't like kids. IM SORRY I JUST DON'T LIKE THEM! And that specific age El, Mike, Will, Dustin and Lucas are in just infuriates me. So yeah. Maybe only Will would like me and I would like him back just enough to be friends.

Ahh this is such a cool idea, I'd love a match up if you have a moment! With Attack on Titan (I'd prefer the veterans if possible), Jujutsu Kaisen, Stranger Things, and DC Uni (specifically Teen Titans or Justice League?)

My name is Sky and I'm 25. I go by she/her pronouns and I'm bisexual, I lean towards men but if the emotional connection is there I of course go either way.

My love language is acts of service and quality time.

My favorite hobbies consists of writing, watching my favorite shows, reading, playing video games, playing guitar/ukulele, baking/cooking, looking at funny things, and drinking more tea than I need to. I also like to be outside but I'm not a fan of physical activity. I like to listen to jazz while I'm doing background work.

I'm an ISFJ, and my enneagram is Type 6w5 (I think that's how you state that? I'm still kind of new to understanding them)

I like to think I'm chaotic neutral, and my Hogwarts house is Hufflepuff.

Your match for Attack On Titan is... Miche Zacharius!

He can smell your baking or cooking in your hair; like he thinks it's scientifically possible for the smells to impregnate into people's hair.

He can sing very well, but he sings just when it's just the two of you around and no one else; you playing the guitar or ukulele and him, singing very sweet words for you.

Sometimes he sneaks away from training with you, as he's not into exercise as well to spend quality time that you wouldn't be able to spend (careful Levi doesn't find out).

Didn't really like jazz at first as it was too loud for him, but he ended up liking it because of you.

Your match for Jujutsu Kaisen is... Gojo Satoru!

Idk why, but I think he matches your energy somehow.

If you sneak out of training, he will playfully yell at you and tickle you as punishment.

It's hilarious how he dances to jazz music; Nobara, Megumi and Itadori watch him like this -> 😮‍💨

I feel like you could be a bit jealous of Miwa at first as you though she had a crush on him, but then you found out she didn't because she was just fangirl and Gojo has many so you're okay with that... as long as they don't cross your line.

Your match for Stranger Things is... Eddie Munson!

He looked mean and scary to you, but one day somehow you managed to spend a bit of time to get to know him better and he wasn't as bad as you though.

You automatically became best friend with Chrissy, who sets all of your dates and helps you getting ready for them.

Watches your favourite shows with you; he doesn't look like he's very interested, but just wait a while until he starts asking questions. "So why did he cheat on her? What is she gonna do about it?"

You and Chrissy go to all his Corroded Coffin concerts wearing merchandising from head to toe and your eyes are focused on him all the time.

Your match for DC (Teen Titans) is... Robin aka Dick Grayson!

Since his eyes crossed yours, he promised himself to protect you, no matter what.

All other Titans (except for Starfire, who became your best friend ever) didn't like you at first, but since when Beast Boy and Cyborg saw you playing ukulele, they dance at all the songs you play now and Raven told you kinda look "cool" (you're gonna get used to it).

Enjoys jazz music and cooking/baking as well! It looks like the food you make is even tastier when he's around.

Never lets you go on missions with them as he's afraid to lose you rhough Raven tries to convince him that everything will be alright.

i ship you with eddie munson because i think you guys would get along and have similiar interests when it comes to music and movies. he's also very witty and adventurous, and just wants to hang out with you and talk for hours on end.

or, cedric diggory because you both have very sweet, caring personalities, enjoy helping people, are hopeless romantics, and he has the vibe of a man who is a sucker for dimples.

or, specer reid because he would adore your intelligence and ambition, and you two could bond over russian literature (something he canonically enjoys) and mysteries, and he loves spending quality time with his loved ones sooo much.

Hello honey!!

I would match you with:

EDDIE MUNSON

First of all, I think eddie likes all body types but I think tour dimples would so something to him, like him being the reason you are smiling. I also think that he would love that you guys have kind of matching hair (And its long so he can pull it…😳)

It also sounds like you guys would have a lot of fun together based on your hobbies. DnD is in my opinion a really creative hobby and you would probably love to make characters together. Eddie is also a person who actually knows a lot of things but doesn’t show it, so your conversations would probably be really interesting.

I think Eddie would except and let you play any kind of music you wanted, but if you like rock… oh dear. You could sing together in his car from the top of your lungs, then he would probably want to bang you in the back of his van to the music.

You sound like a person who Eddie could talk to. He needs comfort but just like you it takes a while for him to get comfortable with people. Eddie is also afraid to disappoint people he loves, so I think you guys really compliment each other and can find peace in one another.

I hope I understood the assignment and that you like it<3

Eddie Munson and Uncle Wayne Things

Some of my head cannons of Eddie and his Uncles relationship and your relationship when dating Eddie 😊 I got the idea from a post by @dunadain​Eddie and Wayne Head cannons Part 2​

🤘After a late night shift at work Wayne will come home so tired that he falls asleep on the couch. When Eddie comes out for a late night snack he will see his Uncle. Eddie will carefully take of his shoes and find a clean blanket to lay over him while whispering “You work too hard old man”

🤘You come over so often that Wayne makes you a key for the trailer. Eddie forgets his a lot and ”You’re a good influence on Eddie so come over anytime”

🤘On the weekend when Corroded Coffin performs you and Wayne will go watch Eddie perform. Inbetween songs Wayne tells you how he had to work two jobs to save up and buy Eddie's guitar. 

🤘Eddie takes you to the store so you can help him pick out a new mug for his Uncle. He is stuck between the D20 mug and a Garfield mug “Eddie I don't think your Uncle likes D&D” he gets the Garfield mug even though he’s just a stupid cat (according to Eddie)

🤘For Christmas Eddie’s Uncle gets him a D20 mug 🥺

🤘Cooking dinner for Eddie while Wayne is at work. Saving a plate for him when he get’s home leaving a note of the fridge Food in the fridge, enjoy Mr. Munson!

🤘”You can just call me Wayne sweetheart” 

🤘Wayne cuts Eddie’s hair and you watch from the living room as they use a spare chair in the kitchen. Eddie will have his arms crossed “What do you even know about hair you’re practically bald. You’re gonna mess it up and it’ll look like shit”

Wayne flicks Eddie in the back of the head “Be quiet boy. You’d be handsome with any haircut” Eddie’s cheeks turn red as he sits up straighter. “Y/N you want me to cut yours too?”

🤘After you and Eddie have dated for a while Wayne will have you both sit at the table with him and try to give you a ‘sex talk’ Eddie just laughs the entire time. (Wayne leaves a box of condoms on Eddie’s bed)

🤘”Eddie! They’re a keeper so don't be stupid.”

🤘You help Eddie study so he is no longer failing English. When he gets an A on his paper he show’s Wayne who immediately pulls him into a hug “That’s my boy! You’ll graduate in no time!”

🤘Eddie gives his Uncle a Hellfire Club shirt 

🤘Wayne tells you stories about Eddie from when he was younger to embarrass him. Eddie will literally pout “Wayne I don't think Y/N wants to hear it” you’ll sit next to Wayne “Yes I do”

Eddie goes to his room while you and Wayne talk about Eddie. He will pull out old photo albums and talk about how much his boy has grown. And although he’s not the best Eddies greater than he ever imagined. 

🤘Occasionally Eddie smokes cigarettes with his Uncle at the picnic table and they’ll end up sitting for hours talking with each other

🤘Wayne’s love language is acts of service and gift giving. So he will do Eddie’s laundry, build him a new table for D&D, buys Eddie cassettes of his favorite bands. Wayne will check your oil whenever you drive over, get you new shoes because yours had a hole in them, build you a bookcase.

🤘Wayne leaves notes for Eddie when he has to leave really early for work. Eddie keeps all of them! Keeps one in his drug box that says I’ll be home late kid stay safe I love you

🤘Wayne always ask you about Eddie and what he is up to. Ask you to keep an eye on him because “Eddie is a good kid but sometimes he just gets into trouble.”

🤘During a smoke sesh you and Eddie will talk about people who inspire you. Of course Eddie says a few big metal names and then finishes with his Uncle. Talks about how he is the hardest working man he knows and makes Eddie proud to be a Munson.

🤘Wayne has his cap and gown from graduation saved in a box tucked away in his closet so that Eddie can wear it when he graduates.

🤘On the weekends after Eddie performs his Uncle will take you to a local dinner. Where Eddie stuffs his face with cheap cheeseburgers and his Uncle pokes fun when you and Eddie share a milkshake together. 

🤘When his Uncle is sleeping Eddie will add some money (his drug money) to his wallet because he refuses to accept money from Eddie and insist he spend it on you or himself. 

Masterlist

I hope everyone enjoys them!

black sabbath? | eddie munson x fem!reader

Summary: You know that feeling when you find out that your friend has a massive crush on your older sister, but you can't do anything about it, even though you don't approve, since they just have to love the same music band? No? Because Dustin Henderson does. 

Disclaimer: English isn’t my first language!

Word count: 3.1k

➸ You can read part two here! 

(Y/N) Henderson really loved her brother. Most of the time. Because there were also times when he played on her nerves in a way no one else did.

“So Iron Maiden after all? Great choice! I'll get your change right away,” the girl said with a practiced smile, handing the customer a wad of bills over the counter. “Have a nice day!”

She waited a few moments until the guy (satisfied with the amazing service) left the store. And then she opened the door to the back room, which she had previously slammed shut.

“Why aren't you being so kind to me?” asked Dustin reproachfully, not caring in the least about his sister's deadly stare as he sat in a room theoretically for employees, with a mug of tea in hand. “Oh well. They pay you to do that here.”

(Y/N) rolled her eyes and leaned against the counter.

“I'm going to get fired because instead of letting me do my job in peace, you're making me listen to your ranting.”

“It's not ranting, woman. It's the story of my life.”

“If your life boils down to D&D, then it's no wonder you're getting bullied at school, Dusty,” (Y/N) sighed, arranging the vinyls that had been laid out by the previously-hosted lover of heavy sounds. She laughed at the sight of her brother's scowling face. “Just kidding. Wind up. But if someone walks in, for God's sake, tone it down.”

“Well, as I was saying-” Dustin set his mug down on the table with a bang so he could gesture freely. “Lucas acted in an outrageous manner. I was convinced we'd have to postpone the whole campaign. Mike and I nearly shit ourselves. I was like, man, Eddie will get so freaking mad...”

“I swear I'm going to start counting how many times the word Eddie comes out of your mouth,” announced (Y/N) with a smile. “Eddie this, Eddie that. Like a teenager in love.”

“Woah, take it easy. I won't tell you anything if you keep on being rude.”

“Promise?”

“He told us to find a sub for Sinclair and we were so screwed.” (Y/N) let the air out slowly through her nose. He wouldn't shut up so easily. “Absolutely nobody wanted to play with us. I fucking called Steve.”

“You also fucking called me. You've obviously hit the rock bottom.”

“Why can't you come actually? We somehow convinced Erica, but I thought she'd also say no, just out of spite. You know the rules, why can't you get your ass there?”

“I let children have their fun!” she exclaimed, bringing the pile of vinyls back to their rightful place. “In all seriousness, though, I'm going to the championship game.”

“You hate basketball.”

“First of all, unlike you, I appreciate that Lucas has worked hard for a place on the team... ”

“Don't be so supportive, he's warming the bench.”

“A sportsman spoke up. Secondly, Robin plays with the orchestra. My ears will fall off, but she's my friend. Gotta survive,” (Y/N) explained further. A wry smile suddenly dawned on her face. “Well, maybe I'll try my hand as Harrington's wingman. Can you believe that he came to me for love advice? But I don't think he's gonna make progress. He recently complimented a chick's forehead.”

Dustin laughed so hard that the tea almost went up his nose.

In a final act of grace (Y/N) agreed to drive her brother home once he and his friends had finished their campaign. However, she began to regret it. The basketball game was long over, Lucas disappeared with his new friends, Robin went home, and Steve was probably exchanging saliva with his temporary sweetheart. 

She drummed her fingers impatiently on the steering wheel, with only Black Sabbath blasting from the speakers to keep her company.

“Can you help me, occupy my brain?” she sang along with the vocalist. (Y/N) could use the help, as she was growing tired of waiting in the car and staring blankly at the front door. Suddenly they opened, revealing several laughing teenagers, followed by an extremely joyful Erica Sinclair. The beloved brother was nowhere to be seen. 

(Y/N) leaned out of the car window.

“Erica!” she called out, at which the girl turned toward the parking lot, searching for the owner of the voice with her eyes. “Where's my little dipshit?”

“Inside!”

(Y/N) decided that she had waited long enough. It was time to use violence. She jumped out of the car and ran up to the door. Erica waited.

“We won because of me,” she stated with undisguised pride, raising her head. “You will drive me home. Make it quick.”

“Congratulations and... okay? Sure, I'll drive you. You asked so politely,” (Y/N) replied, spreading her arms, as the girl apparently did not wait for her answer. Let's find Dustin.

It wasn't that complicated. She was led by the faint light from the room where they were playing D&D and the loud voice of.... well, the Master himself.

“Gentlemen, what a game that was! I'm impressed, really. Now it's your turn to flatter me. Yes, Eddie, what a thoughtful campaign. Shock. Wheeler, be careful with that figurine. I will scalp you if you do any damage.”

“Let's speed this up, because my sister will scalp us if we don't show up right away,” muttered Henderson, to which (Y/N) nodded, leaning nonchalantly against the door frame. They had not yet noticed her arrival.

“Too late,” she spoke up out of the blue, at which Mike jumped up, Dustin screamed, and the oldest member of the merry men turned abruptly in her direction.

“Jesus H. Christ,” he screeched, clutching his chest. “Don't do that again.”

(Y/N) took a better look at the infamous Munson. She had seen him before, before she graduated, but they had never officially met. It was hard not to notice a wisp of dark unruly hair, tattooed forearms, a crazy grin and... eyes. Beautiful eyes, to be honest. She never paid much attention to them. Oh fuck. 

At first frightened by her sudden appearance in the room, Eddie didn't register who he was talking to. Unbelievable. He had passed this pretty creature in the hallway many times in the past year, but never had the courage to do more than admire her from afar.

Wait, this is Dustin's sister? This is his sister? He has been playing D&D with her little brother all this time and didn't even have a clue.

He thanked the higher power that (Y/N) was busy scolding Dustin, as he stood, grinning like an idiot, just happy to be there. Mike glanced in his direction fleetingly and raised his eyebrows. Finally, the attention of the Henderson siblings shifted to Munson. Eddie's head spun when she looked at him. No, man. Get your head in the game. You need to make a good impression.

Dustin grunted. He figured it would be polite to make the presentation now.

“This is my older sister, (Y/N).”

The aforementioned sister sent a smile in Eddie's direction that almost brought him off his feet. Damn. He's a metalhead. Metalheads. Don't. Blush.

“Dustin talks about you all the time, so let me guess that you must be...” (Y/N) began, extending her right hand to him, but before she could finish, Eddie decided to go with the first thing that came to mind.

“My name is Lucifer, please take my hand.” He laughed and finally shook her hand. He could have sworn he felt more than something. The light touch stirred up a sea of sparks within him. And Eddie didn't consider himself as a fan of clichés. Well.

(Y/N) Henderson squinted her eyes, with head held confidently high. And then she smiled, but this time more mischievously.

“I prefer it sung by Ozzy, but your version will do,” she replied quietly. In an almost flirtatious manner.

Oh, boy. You are lost, Eddie Munson.

Dustin was one step away from knocking a head on the table. Either his own, or the one belonging to his older friend.

“Get away from me. Absolutely not. Forget it,” repeated Henderson for the hundredth time, waving his fork warningly in Munson's direction. “I swear I'll stab you with it if you ask me about her again.”

Eddie wasn't too concerned about Dustin's threat. He continued to hang around with a fierce look on his face. Henderson looked up, silently praying for the strength to endure Eddie Munson's nagging. 

It had been a week since his sister had appeared in Leviathan's den, and his D&D master had gone completely mad for her. Why didn't Dustin tell him that his sister (Y/N) was in fact that (Y/N)? She listens to Black Sabbath, but what else? What is she interested in? Where can they hang out? Dustin should bring her to the next game. By the way, has she ever played D&D? Does she have a boyfriend?

Is that how she felt when he was telling her all about Munson? Guilt washed over him. He didn't know it was possible to become that annoying.

“No crushing on (Y/N) on my watch!” he finally shouted, at which Eddie jumped up. And so did several people seated closest to them.

Mike Wheeler just laughed and patted Dustin on the back.

“Chill out, man.”

“You fucking Judas, whose side are you taking? You're a brother yourself. That's our shitty role. To beat the admirers off with a stick,” Dustin muttered, resting his chin on his hand. He turned toward Munson, sending him a suspicious look.

“What are your intentions?”

“Foul,” replied Eddie without flinching. 

“You are disgusting.”

The boy straightened up, sending his friends a wide smile. He thought for a moment, then put his hands on their shoulders.

“You don't understand anything, don't you? I feel that this is my year. That it will be different. I will finally graduate, snatch that diploma. My dream is to flip Higgins the bird and run as far away from this shithole as possible, to start a new life,” Eddie said with conviction and hope that there is simply no other option. “But I have some unfinished business, you see. When I had the opportunity to talk to (Y/N) at school, I chickened out. However, I see that fate is giving me a second chance to make things right.”

“Have mercy,” muttered Mike to Dustin, but he shook his head with a disapproving look.

Henderson was as stubborn as a mule. But Mike's patience also had its limits. That's why, when an exasperated Dustin marched out of the cafeteria, Wheeler leaned toward Munson and whispered in confidence that (Y/N) was currently not seeing anyone. Then it casually slipped out that she works at the record store. The one near the library. It also slipped out that she works an opening shift on Saturdays. By accident. 

Oops.

Eddie Munson couldn't remember the last time he was so stressed. Maybe when that damn weed was almost found in his backpack. Or when Wayne was lecturing him after he had returned from a band rehearsal in a not-quite-sober state.

He was about to talk to a girl he was pining over. Heck, he won't be able to. Maybe he will? Or maybe he won't. He could always turn his van around and pretend that he had no intention of going to that fucking store in the first place.

He stopped at a red light and glanced nervously at the glove box. He put a cassette in there. Maybe he was going insane, but he already knew she liked Black Sabbath. So he collected a few tracks with a similar vibe and signed it with a black marker. From Eddie :) 

He had no idea why he did it, or how he was supposedly going to hand it to her, since they had talked just once. It would appear that he was thinking of her. She would consider him a proper freak.

But there's no denying it, he was indeed thinking. He was listening to a song and then the question came to him whether she would like it too.

Green light. It wasn't that far. He had to devise a plan. He desperately needed a plan. After all, he won't march in there and tell her that he's liked her for a long time, but he gets so nervous in her presence that he can't form a proper sentence. Christ, what a fool he will make of himself.

He parked the van and looked at himself in the mirror. His hair was disheveled as usual. Yeah, charming. He opened the glove box and pulled out that wretched cassette. Maybe it would be appropriate to practice what he was going to say. No. Then he would panic.

“I'm going,” he said to motivate himself. And off he went.

The idea of running away came up exactly four times. He counted.

The bell at the door marked his arrival deafeningly loud, or at least that was his impression. There was no customer in the store, but it was empty behind the counter, too. Good. Nobody's home. He's gonna just...

“Just a minute! I'll be right there!” called out (Y/N) from the back room.

Under normal circumstances, he would have waltzed out now. But what stopped him was N.I.B. playing in the background. He smirked. 

“Cool song!” he exclaimed in a sudden burst of boldness. 

(Y/N) Henderson almost went down with a heart attack hearing his voice. Son of a bitch had an excellent timing. She took advantage of the fact that he couldn't see her now. It won't be that fun when she'll have to look him in the eye.

“Yes, someone reminded me how much I like it.”

She took the cardboard box of records with her, but not to unpack them, at least not at the moment. She was gonna use it as a shield against her brother's dangerously handsome friend. It almost fell out of her hands when she saw him leaning against the counter. 

Hands on full display. Tattoos. Rings. 

“Eddie Munson,” she greeted in a polite tone reserved for the store's customers. And for the people she liked. “To what do I owe this visit?”

“I was passing by and spontaneously thought I'd take a look.”

(Y/N) found this to be a reasonable explanation, but Munson nearly burst into laughter.

“In that case, can I help you with something?” she asked with a smile, pointing to something with her thumb. “Heavy metal in that alley over there.”

Eddie strolled slowly through the store, but he hadn't come here to buy anything. His gaze kept returning toward the counter. (Y/N) tried to pretend she wasn't aware of that.

“So,” began Munson, Paranoid vinyl in his hands. “Black Sabbath?”

“Hell yeah,” replied (Y/N), crossing her arms over her chest. “I hope you know that you've scored some points with that lyrics, N.I.B. is one of my favorites.”

“Devil falling in love,” whispered Munson, before he had time to think it over carefully. “What a familiar concept.”

(Y/N) Henderson felt suddenly overwhelmed by his intense gaze. The tension was almost unbearable. 

“Aren't you of those who interpret this as a deception to the depths of hell?”

“One does not exclude the other,” Eddie replied simply, putting the record back in place. Now it was his turn to tremble under her watchful gaze. “I lied earlier.”

(Y/N) furrowed her brow.

“Excuse me?”

Eddie decided that he had enough of beating around the bush. May Ozzy Osbourne protect him.

“I specifically came here to see you,” he explained, covering his face with a strand of dark hair. “Mike told me I would find you here. Dustin I couldn't force. He declared himself the protector of your honor.”

(Y/N) thought that she had overheard at first. Just the fact that Eddie was so close and talking to her about music was already a lot. And now she finds out that he came here for her? Then the second part of his statement reached her ears and she started laughing.

Yes, typical Dustin. Little brother in shining armor.

Munson couldn't hold back a smile at the sight of her laughing face. He reached into his jacket pocket for the tape and decided that it's once in a lifetime occasion.

“I wanted to give you this, too. Maybe it's a little silly, but our tastes are similar, so...” he said, walking up to the counter and handing it to her.

(Y/N) wasn’t laughing anymore when she accepted the gift. She turned it in her hands, then looked at him with big doe eyes. Eddie's heart melted.

“Thank you,” she choked out, touched by this small gesture. No one had made a compilation especially for her until now. “I'll listen to it as soon as I get home.”

“The first one is N.I.B.” Eddie smiled softly. “I hope you like the rest of it as well.”

Their little soap bubble of mutual adoration burst when two women entered the store with the ring of a bell. Both (Y/N) and Eddie frowned at the sight. Zero privacy. Someone had the audacity to go shopping.

Eddie Munson scratched his neck nervously and lowered his gaze.

“I'm sorry for bothering you at work for so long. I should get going,” the boy apologized, then pointed to a stack of records. “Your prices are astronomical. Making up for it with customer service though.”

(Y/N) only then realized that Eddie was about to go. He'll leave her here for the rest of the shift with a smoldering hope and an adorable choice of gift. Definitely not happening.

“Wait,” she called as Munson was already turning to leave, to which he immediately turned back.

“Yes?” She'd tell him to leave, he'd leave in a hurry. She'd tell him to wait, he won't budge.

“How can I return the favor?” she asked, lifting up the tape. “A serious question. I don't like being in debt.”

Eddie stood for a moment with his mouth open, searching for the right answer.

“This is the part when you ask me out,” prompted (Y/N) suddenly, coming to the rescue.

“Would you say yes?”

“Oh, come on, you dumbass.”

Eddie barely made it to the car, but had to sit down for a long moment and recover. He could still feel the subtle touch of her lips on his cheek. 

He managed to get a date with a gorgeous girl who listens to Black Sabbath.

Thanks, Ozzy.
