Harringrove Ask Meme 💜

There's so much hate going around right now, because people can't handle the support that we give to Harringrove. So, I'm making this ask meme for fans to pass around. I tried to keep the questions positive. I don't want Harringrove fans to feel bad because they don't ship them the same way as others may.

19. Who are their number one supporters in canon out of their peers? Why?

Well for Steve it would OBVIOUSLY be Robin like come on, there is no question about it. Plus Robin compared to like all of the party doesn't really have that connection with Billy, most likely all she knew about Billy was what she had probably witnessed in high school.

Robin to me was the one that had to sit there and watch Steve come to the realisation that he likes Billy Hargrove.

Heather. Goes without saying (what do you mean she is dead? She's not). She is Billy's ride-or-die for real. She would be the slightly judgemental cause "Really? Steve Harrington...wait...Robin Buckley is his best friend. Fine...you are getting Steve to help me bag her.

(They go on double dates, tell me I am wrong, I am not)

Now for the party:

Will! But that is because ya know Steve and Billy would be the only m/m couple in Hawkins and I LIVE for Billy being a person that Will looks up to.

El! She has been in Billy's head, like come on it's a no-brainer.

Max too! She is Billy's sister, and chances are she has noticed the way that Billy and Steve look at each other. She is cheering her brother on (and has given the shovel talk with El at Steve)

Hello! For the harringrove ask thing. Will you answer #3 for me? 💙

hi omg sorry this took forever to reply to!

#3 What does being in the Harringrove fandom specifically mean to you?

right now, the fandom is a safe space for me to express myself! ive recently ran into some issues with very close-minded people and was harshly judged for something I wrote. I love everyone in the fandom and just really enjoy the feeling of being supported by all of y'all, I could literally give y'all each kisses ❤️❤️

5. Have you made any friends and/or established any meaningful relationships in the Harringrove fandom?

YES! I’ve gained a girlfriend plus some very close friends in a Discord server. I’m not as active on Tumblr anymore but I love all of you guys very much. Everyone on Billytwt and Tumblr are so nice ❤️

8. What are your favorite Harringrove tropes?

I’m a sucker for found family stuff honestly. Billy being included in the party and he and Steve getting together subsequently.

Monster hunting boyfriends, friends with benefits, meeting at the Snow Ball, having a smoke/drink by the quarry, plus I’m a super slut for Omegaverse 😌

The question that keeps Steve awake all night

[shieldofiron]

Saw this and thought of your memes immediately.

I mean, amnesiac Billy post upside down? This writes itself.

Thanks for sending they're so cuteeee.

[thediktatortot]

17. If they were able to be together, how would you imagine Billy and Steve when they're old?

Oh man you picked probably my most favorite question of the bunch xD

First off, since this is specifically about Harringrove, they'd be together of course.

Maybe not always, maybe having times where the other needed space or time to cope with their changing lives or the hurdles that come their way, days when the things they learned in therapy or just along the way weren't enough to get them through those hard times. But in the end? In the end it's always each other.

Neither of them fault the other for it, they know they have issues, things that are so engraved in them like the wrinkles they now wear on their skin but it's okay, because they love each other, through hell or high water they know the they love each other till they day they die.

They never get married, they don't need a ring or paper to tell them they are bonded in love and life, but they do elope one day in their mid thirties. It's more of a relief to the party that they finally did it, just glad the two of them took the time out of their busy lives to think about themselves and each other.

Billy needs his space still, needs time to cool off on occasion or needs to not have chaos around him and so they move to California. They buy a tiny little bungalo just off the coast that fits their needs (neither of them are used to having a lot of Stuff and the most Stuff they have comes in the forms of pictures & letters they have saved in shoe boxes aplenty)

Steve however needs to be surrounded when he's going through it, needs his mind to be overpowered by noise and laughter. Those are the times he takes a trip back home, or flies out to whoever's closest and has the most time for him to bother them and drop in on their lives for a little while.

They live comfortably though, the government having come through just a little with hush money so they used it to buy their home outright and have the rest in savings and use the interest to pay the taxes. Neither have to work but they like too, Billy spends his 'work time' at local zoos and aquariums as a maintenance man, enjoying the time alone surrounded by goofy animals that are too curious for their own good. He loves them.

Steve doesn't usually work for money, volunteering his time at numerous places in their county doing anything they need. He likes being useful and needed.

They spend their golden years traveling, borrowing Dustin's family mobile (a huge RV) to scoot around America.

Harringrove, 7, 20 and 26?

Thanks for the ask Ihni 💙 This was really fun to think about and I think I went slightly overboard lmao

Feel free to send me more with those two or another ST pairing, I clearly have a lot to say 🤣

the meme

7. Who is more sentimental?

That one goes to Billy. 

He’s the one who gets stuck in the past: the life he had in California, his life before his mom left, that’s something he probably doesn’t allow himself to think about much—at least not until El reminds him of how happy he was then—because it hurts too much, but once he opens that window, it’s hard to get him to stop. 

Billy collects pictures, concert tickets, small trinkets that remind him of a moment when he was happy, of people he loves. He’s the one who listens to a song and feels all kinds of emotions about it, either because he remembers the first time he listened to it and who he was/how he felt back then, or because the song reminds him of someone. 

He’s the one who gets emotional or refuses to watch a specific movie because it reminds him of his mom.

He’s the one who wears Steve’s clothes when he isn’t around, because he needs the comfort and the reminder that he is loved.

He’s an emotional guy, so he’s definitely the one who feels the most sentimental.

Steve on the other hand is very much the kind of guy who lives in the present. He doesn’t care much about pictures, doesn’t really collect items, I mean just take a look at the guy’s bedroom, he clearly isn’t someone who needs to surround himself with pictures and items and thinks a lot about the past. It happened, it made him sad or happy, moving on.

A song is just a song, I’m not saying he’s never going to associate it with someone or a memory, but it’ll probably be a quick thing, he won’t linger. 

He lives in the moment, clinging to the past or old emotions isn’t something he does much, what’s happening right now is more important to him than how he felt ten years ago. 

(That doesn’t stop him from wearing Billy’s clothes too, but that’s something he does when Billy is around because it gets him all hot and bothered.) Next questions under the cut because it got long lmfao

20. Who holds a grudge the longest?

Okay, this is a tough one, because I think it’s really, really hard to get Steve to the point where he’s going to be so mad at someone he’s going to actually hold a grudge. I mean, Nancy basically broke his heart calling him and their relationship bullshit, and he still tried to show up the next day with flowers to apologize. But that’s because even when he’s hurt, Steve probably always feels like he’s at least partly responsible, and he’s clearly ready to put his pride and feelings aside when he really loves someone and wants things to work out.

So you’d have to really, really fuck up for him to be mad forever. 

On the other hand, I think he absolutely is one to be awfully bitchy and petty over small things. 

Let’s say Billy makes the mistake of finishing the tub of Steve’s favorite ice cream once, a treat Steve was really looking forward to after an awful day at work. Billy better be ready to jump in the car and go buy a whole new tub the moment he realizes his mistake, and that’s not saving him from Steve bitching about it all night, and he’s never forgetting about it.

“Oh, you’re mad I finished the Chinese leftovers you were saving for lunch? Remember the Ice Cream Incident of ‘87?” “Steve, that was thirty years ago.”

Everyone knows about the Ice Cream Incident. 

On a more serious note, I also think Steve would definitely hold a grudge against someone who hurt the people he loves, which means it’s probably a good thing Billy started shit with the kids back when Steve didn’t care too much about them, or they might never have moved past it. 

Now, Billy… The easy answer is “yeah, he definitely is the kind of guy who holds a grudge forever and over the tiniest things” but I think it’s a bit more complicated than that. 

Someone he doesn’t really know and cares about pisses him off/annoys him/says or does something hurtful, he’s going to forever put them on his shit list and it’s going to be really, really hard to make him change his mind. 

It’s not so much holding a grudge, it’s more protecting himself. If someone he’s starting to get close to—which, you know, is already a pretty huge thing in itself because he’s really bad at letting people close—fucks up once, he’ll probably put an end to that relationship immediately, he’s never going to be the one to take the first step to fix it, and it’s going to take A Lot to get him to forgive.

Now, if it comes from someone he loves deeply…

Well, pain and betrayal coming from the people he loves and who are supposed to love him? What a surprise, it’s not like that’s literally one of the very first things he was taught in life. 

A part of Billy just expects it, so if—when it happens, Billy just takes it. Doesn’t say anything, goes numb, and would probably accept any apology as long as it means the person—Steve isn’t leaving. He won’t hold a grudge, but he won’t talk about it, and he’s definitely never forgetting it happened, so in a way it’s a thousand times worse than if he actually held a grudge and got mad about it, because it’s impossible to fix something if you can’t see it’s broken. 

I feel like this one got away from me and I don’t have a definite answer, I guess they can both hold grudges for a long time, but it depends on who, what, how, etc… 

26. How do they comfort each other?

The first and most obvious answer is touch. They’re both bad with words, don’t really like talking, most of the time they don’t even know what the fuck to say when the other is feeling under the weather, so kissing, hugging, small gentle touches.

Steve is pretty good at noticing when Billy isn’t feeling well, what he struggles with the most is figuring out when Billy needs to be left alone to deal with things or process shit on his own, and when he actually needs Steve to be there for him. It’s a hard thing to balance, because Billy doesn’t even know himself sometimes so that’s probably something they struggle with at first. Steve tries to fix things because that’s what he does and he isn’t always patient enough, or has a hard time accepting that some things simply can’t be fixed, and he gets hurt when Billy lashes out because he just wants to be left alone.

But once they figure it out, Steve learns to notice the small differences, he learns to give Billy some space, and to wait for him to be ready for some comfort, and that’s when Steve can shine. Wrapping Billy in a warm and soft blanket and getting him to lie down on the couch with his head pillowed on Steve’s thigh so he can card his fingers through his hair until he feels better; simply holding him quietly until Billy stops feeling like shit, etc… 

Billy hasn’t known comfort since his mom left, he has no idea how the fuck he’s supposed to comfort someone, it’s not something that comes naturally to him. You feel sad? Yeah, everyone does, you aren’t special, jeez. His first instinct is definitely to ignore it because he doesn’t know how to deal with it, and because that’s how he was taught to act. 

Steve showing vulnerability would probably make Billy feel awful at first, because you aren’t supposed to do that, and what the fuck does he expect Billy to do? He might even say hurtful things at first, because that’s all he knows. 

So I think he’d just mimic Steve at first. Steve hugs me when I feel like shit, I guess I’ll hug him when he feels like shit. And it slowly reminds him of what his mom would do, and it hurts to think about but he also remembers how good he felt when she’d hug or kiss him, so that’s what he does.

And then he remembers when she’d cook his favorite meal, or take him to the beach, out of the house and away from Neil, so he starts applying that too. He gets Steve his favorite food, does small things for him, gets him in the car and drives without purpose, just to get them far away from everything where Steve can breathe a little bit. Well, shit, this really got long, anyway, thanks again, I hope this was as satisfying to read as it was to write 🤣

Hellooo beloved goose, I am going to be predictable and say: either 1 for Harringrove, or 7, for Steddie please? 👀💖 (or you can switch them too honestly.... I'm. not picky 👀)

Prompt 1 - sorry about the blood in your mouth i wish it was mine

&

Prompt 7 - there isn't anything sexier than a slender boy with a handgun, a fast car, and a bottle of pills.

Imma be real....at this point I'm not even sure which one of these prompts this fic is filling. It's also wayyyy longer than what I'm willing to post on this hellsite, and also I did stuff with the formatting that I don't usually do and can't replicate on here at all

all that to say, it's done!!!! thank fucking god, I was like it can be itty bitty and then it was not, but I finished it so ha!

we've made a graveyard out of the bone white afternoon

6,205 | T+ | Major Character Death

“Hargrove,” he says, stepping forward until the bat just barely grazes skin. “Get. Out.” He wants to throw up. He wants to go to bed. Wants to pull the covers over his head and break down crying like he did last year, sobbing until he throws up because he can’t stop remembering the way it’d felt when skin gave way beneath a bat full of nails. 

That had been a monster and still, he hadn’t been able to sleep for days. Billy’s warm and alive and furious, he thinks maybe he’d never sleep again. 

Billy’s eyes are storm clouds at dusk when he takes the last step, the bat digging into his chest, and says, “Make me. You don’t have the fucking guts, Harrington.” 

Steve breathes in deeply, chances one glance at the kids, counts, one two three four. They’re still there, still huddled together. Max’s face is an ugly shade of red and Dustin has a fist pressed to his mouth. He breathes out, looks at Billy, at his red mouth, and imagines what it would look like if he— but he can’t. He knows he can’t. 

There are no apologies in this story until the ink is running thin.

8 What are your favorite Harringrove tropes?

There’s this reoccurring trope of Steve going on late night drives because he’s hyper vigilant and an insomniac. Except instead of finding supernatural creatures lurking, he finds Billy on the side of the road because he was kicked out of the house or he ran away. Steve can’t just leave him there, so he gets Billy to come with him. There’s something special about a mundane late night when everyone should be sleeping turning into something more. Like time itself becomes a liminal space. It’s more quiet, more intimate, more private. There’s the Right Side Up and The Upside Down, and Harringrove exists in The In Between where they experience a world of their own together.

Harringrove Halloween Ficlet

I didn't have time to participate in kinktober or to write a full spooky fic this year, but there is no stopping my love for this season or how it gets the plot bunnies hopping. Shout out to @robthegoodfellow for listening to my brain rot and helping this come together.

I was laughing at all those "Satan impregnates his bride" memes, and IDK bumbling Satantic Witch!Steve was born.

~*~

The Bride of Satan.

There’s a naked man on Steve’s bed. Maybe hey's still a boy. No telling. He’s built like - holy shit - but there’s a roundness to the slope of his shoulders and the edges of his face, that could be called baby soft. Could mean he’s closer to Steve’s own age of nineteen than the wear and tear on his body and the layers of compact muscle imply.

Steve absolutely does not look at the naked man’s dick, so it doesn’t factor into the boy vrs man argument blitzing through his head, like at all. Not that it should. That would be weird - and also Steve doesn’t have time to worry about how old the stranger in his bed is. He needs to figure out some way to send him back to wherever he came from. And, most importantly of all, he needs to repeat the summoning spell before the moonlight is gone or the ritual will be ruined. If he fucks up the ceremony there will be no way to hide it from the rest of the coven.

He looks back down at the heavy book he’s been studying for months in preparation for this night, rereading the steps to the spell. He did everything right. He’s sure of it. Said the words to invite the devil in and strengthen the coven.

He drank the wine and ate the herb at just the right spots, and stripped himself down to his cotton briefs without tipping over from the high. He’d felt the tingle in his fingers and toes spread out in a warm rush all over his body just like Paul (who had done the ceremony the year before) had described when he'd asked.

Roll the blades of willow grass in… wait. Shit. Realizing that he’d already read that part, Steve blinks slowly and refocuses his eyes on the page. This would be so much easier if the page would stop pulsing. He doesn't pretend to understand the magic, but right now there should be a naked girl in his bed. Maybe a witch from one of their sister covens, or just some ordinary girl from the suburbs who wouldn’t know anything about fertility rituals or witches; but a girl.

Because it’s a god damned fertility ritual! Frustrated Steve heaves the book aside and drops his head into his arms, defeated. The Child is definitely not coming this year. Fuck! He’d messed it up somehow. How had he messed up this bad?

Steve swallows and tries to ignore the little voice of shame in his head that says he knows exactly how the ritual failed, and Nancy's voice following it like an echo.

You have to believe. You have to want it Steve or it loses its power.

Yes well. Forgive him for having mixed feelings on ushering in the birth of the anti-christ. That's like - huge.

The sound of shifting on the bed alerts him to the fact that the stranger is waking up, but Steve can’t muster up enough care to look up from his knees. His life is pretty much over right now. If he’s not banished from the coven for good for being such a colossal waste of witch, he’ll eat his hat. Paul's seed hadn't taken but at least he actually completed the ritual!

“Uh…who the hell are you?” The man on the bed says in a softer tone than Steve would have expected for someone waking up in his position.

The words are right, but the blond sounds kind of slow and muzzy, like he’s about to fall back asleep. So not a witch then. Ordinary humans aren’t as tolerant of the magic as satan's daughters and their descendants are. Thank the morning star for small blessings. It means that when this stranger wakes up back in his own bed or wherever the devil found him, he won’t remember any of this.

"I'm fucked." Steve answers into his knees, and the stranger shifts again on the bed.

"Oh. Well hi Fuck-Head. I'm Billy."

Steve snorts a laugh, surprised that it's only a little bit bitter. Okay. That was funny. Intrigued despite himself Steve raises his head and peers over at the man. He's sitting up now, balanced on one elbow, gazing down at Steve with soft blue eyes fanned by honey colored lashes. Steve gulps.

"How come you're not scared?"

Billy shrugs.

"Either this is a dream or Eddie was right and I'm about to be sacrificed to the devil." he answers, head moving back and forth slowly as he eyes the ring of animal bones and rows of burning candles that surround the bed.

"Eddie talks too much." Steve grumbles, before it sinks in that if Billy knows Eddie than he must be a local. There are obviously non-believers in Hawkins but the Coven has been going strong here for hundreds of years so maybe Billy comes from a family of witches after all. He doesn't know why a little spark of hope starts burning inside him at the thought.

"So I am being sacrificed?"

"No. I mean you were supposed to be," Steve tries to explain while Billy gives him a skeptical look. He sighs. "Look yeah I summoned you but you're not right for the ritual, so I guess you're off the hook."

"What, you telling me I'm not a good enough human sacrifice Pretty Boy? Last time I checked I fit the bill."

"Last time you checked, huh?" Steve huffs, biting back a smile. "I don't think there are qualifications for human sacrifices."

Billy shakes his head with a click of his tongue.

"See that's where you're wrong. What if I was like a rapist, or had murdered a bunch of kids? The sacrifice has to be pure right? Where's the fun in devouring a soul that is already hellbound? "

He's definitely a witch! Steve thinks, elated, only to doubt himself a moment later. Or maybe he's just super into the occult, like Eddie.

"Babe. Blond. Virgin." Billy ticked off on his fingers, a shit eating grin creeping over his face. It's a little unsettling what with the glaze over his eyes. "That's how it goes, and I'm all three baby."

Steve huffs a laugh. Can't help it. Yeah thats how it goes in the movies, but in reality the devil isn't all that picky about who humans decided to serve up in his honor. That is a trivial human decision gladly left in the hands of his faithful followers. It is the end of the world and the coming of The Child that he took very very seriously.

"Well lucky for you this isn't that kind of sacrifice."

"What kind is it then?" Billy asks dropping his hand into his lap and shifting on the bed.

"It's - are you jerking off?!"

Billy's hand pauses momentarily where it's rubbing over the stiffening flesh between his legs. He sounds surprised when he answers.

"Oh. Yeah. Kinda super horny actually."

Oh. Right. Of course he is.

"That's part of the magic." Steve explains. "It's easier to complete the ritual if you're in like a faugh or whatever."

"Horny fog. Got it. And this ritual, what's that about?"

"Well it's layered. We offer the devil a host and he strengthens the coven."

"Uh huh."

Steve bites his lip. Swallows. It is very hard trying to recall his ceremonial history when Billy keeps stroking his cock like that. It fits nicely in his hand. Not comically big, but just big enough and flushed an almost pretty shade of red.

"In exchange he takes our seed, our mortal flesh, and sews into another." Steve finishes in a rush. "To make a baby. Sometimes."

"Fuck. That's weird." Billy says, stroking himself faster. Steve can't take his eyes off of him.

"Yeah... very weird."

"Didn't think old lucy was such a family guy."

"He's not really. There's only been daughters so far and he needs a son."

For some reason this made Billy toss back his head and laugh.

"Sounds like my dad."

Steve doesn't have to ask what he means. Most of the dads he knows are pricks and Billy can't mean he's devil born. If The Child had come before now Steve wouldn't be in this predicament - which would be sitting on the floor of his bedroom with a raging hard on, watching a stranger jerk off in his bed.

"So you see now? I fucked up. I can't do the ritual and that's gonna weaken the coven."

Billy hums, and the sound goes straight to Steve's dick. Fuck he's starting to leak and it's just embarrassing because there's no way to hide the wet spot seeping through his briefs. Why is this his life?!

"How do you know you fucked it up?" Billy suddenly asks, jerking Steve out of his spiral.

"Huh? What do you mean. Billy, I can't impregnate you!"

"You could try! Damn it, I'm dying over here." Billy cries in exasperation releasing his dick - now an angry looking red bordering on purple - and Steve scrambles to his feet in alarm as Billy throws himself backwards onto the bed.

"Billy-?" Steve reaches for him, worried as the blond squirms on the bed before flopping over onto his stomach and grinding his hips down into the mattress.

"Look. You said sometimes. Sometimes there's a baby. But your coven still gets its power boost or whatever the fuck." Billy grunts between humps. Steve has no idea where he's going with this.

"Yeah?"

"So, I'm here! I'm here and obviously devil spawn isn't required, so just fuck me!"

Billy is right Steve realizes. He's so right! He's beautiful and brilliant and so so right!

Grinning, Steve shucks his briefs. He's on top of Billy a moment later.

💦☁️🛏️ harringrove please!

BUILD-A-BLURB ASK MEME

PAIRING: BILLY X STEVE

PROMPTS: 💦 sleeping together for the first time, ☁️ enemies to lovers, 🛏 only one bed

It’s a punishment of some sort. Steve’s sure of it.

Biblical level.

Penance or whatever. He stopped going to church when he was eleven. Steve wonders if that’s the reason Billy Hargrove is currently standing the other side of a bed that looks too narrow to properly classify as a double and glaring at it like it just offended his mother.

As if a guy like that has a mother.

“Fuck this.”

Billy’s pointing at the faded bedspread. And, yeah. Steve kind of has to agree. He kicks at the wooden frame himself and frowns.

Coach put them in the smallest room. Said the motel they were staying at overnight had overbooked and, well. Billy and Steve were the only pair. The only two, ‘cause Tommy H is currently laid up in bed back home with a fever. Dropped out last minute and Steve sort of hates him for it.

Sort of really hates him for it because Billy’s talking again. Voice too loud in the small room.

“This is the goddamn worst, you know that? Indiana fuckin’ sucks.”

Steve sighs. Flops down onto the bed, ancient springs creaking as the mattress bounces half heartedly.

“Feel free to leave at, like, any time.” He says around a yawn. Props himself up on his elbows and gives Billy a look. Smiles sweetly as he speaks. “In fact. I’ll pack your bags for you. Deal?”

“Shut the hell up, Harrington.”

Steve lets himself fall back again. He rubs a hand over his face and realises how beat he is from the journey. “You first, dickhead.”

“Jerkoff.”

“…Bitch.”

Billy spins around. Stupid pointy earring swinging with the movement. He glares at Steve. “Better not start feeling me up in the night.”

“Can you shut the fuck up? Like, is that possible? Do you have an off button? Or are you always set to asshole?”

Billy doesn’t reply. Just grabs his bag and heads for the bathroom. Shuts the door with a bang that has the light fittings rattling.

Steve’s eyes droop as he hears the shower turn on.

He wakes to Billy standing over him. Dripping water and skin flushed from the heat. Steve groans and rubs his eyes. Bats at Billy and tells him to jus’ go’way.

Billy pinches his side. Hard. Steve yelps. Jumps up and shoves at Billy.

“What is your issue, man?”

“Your dumbass was taking up the whole bed.”

Steve shoves at Billy again. Cranky from the lack of sleep, irritable and wound up. And Billy’s got that stupid look on his face. Smirk tugging at his mouth and eyes mean.

Steve hates him.

“I hate you.”

Billy’s mouth twists. Turns down. Steve almost feels bad. Almost.

He’s not sure who swings first but he ends up back on the bed, nose bloody and making a mess of the little pink and yellow flowers beneath him. Billy’s breathing is ragged to match Steve’s as he sits, perched on top. A leg either side of Steve’s waist.

Steve’s still in his t shirt and sweatpants and Billy’s- in his briefs. Has been since he got out of the shower.

He’s also hard.

Steve is too.

And, like-

Fuck penance. This is the full on rapture.

Steve stares at Billy’s pendant and Mother Mary stares right back. Accusing. He drags his eyes up. Billy’s pupils are blown and Steve has to fight to see any blue and-

Steve puts a hand on Billy’s thigh. Tucks his index finger just under the hem and waits for Billy to make his move.

The next punch never comes.

Billy ends up under Steve, this time.

He’s making these low, punched out noises as Steve rolls his hips like he’s fucking Billy through three layers of fabric. He shoves a hand beneath Billy’s waistband. Wraps it around him and has to tamp down a noise of his own at the feeling.

Billy’s fingers are digging into his shoulders and Steve thinks they’re gonna leave a mark. Hopes they do, for some reason. He’s got his face buried in Billy’s neck, curls tickling as he mouths at the spot under Billy’s ear, tugs at that stupid fucking earring with his teeth.

Steve hates him.

Sort of doesn’t hate him, either, though.

Wants to see what other noises he can draw out of Billy Hargrove.

Steve’s gonna force this universe to get Billy back with him no matter what it takes

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

technically this is a bit early but whatever, it's spooky season!

last year i did 'reverse trick-or-treat' where i dropped some art of billy in different halloween costumes in the asks of some mututals and blogs i followed in the billy/harringrove community. i wanted to do that sort of thing again this year, especially since there has been such an amazing increase of fandom positivity, mainly led by @intothedysphoria who we all love.

so i'm compiling the list of all the blogs to receive this years 'reverse trick-or-treat' drawings. i think all of these blogs are amazing people who are a brilliant addition to our fandom -- so even if they choose not to respond to the asks, that's fine, but here's some extra love <3

i wish i could have done more, but ive got other commitments and responsibilities right now, so my list only ended up being 49 people (still a lot! but not the eighty i was aiming for). of course, the fandom includes so many more kind and talented people, but here are just a few:
