#harringroveson asks

[harringroveson-asks]

Uh, hey, guys. The boys and I wanted to try something new, and the nuggets said this place was pretty cool, so here we are. Uh, if you got any questions for us, we'd be happy to answer them!

What he means is that he rolled over when a 15 year old with a dorky smile told him we should make our relationship public and answer questions people we don't even know ask us, and then he forced Eddie and I to join in.

Billy wins that one. And yet somehow this is still more normal than the shit we faced during Spring Break, so let 'em rip. Show us what you got.

🌚Am I The Asshole?🌝

🤘Touch anything underlined to be linked to the fic🤘

This is the ask I sent around to a few people who reblogged @dynamic-power post about Spideypoolverine x Harringroveson crossover which inspired me to write a one shot which I posted under that post. I wanted to spread the word a bit, share it with some people who might Reblog it.

But it seems like I offended someone bad enough that they're in my dms lecturing me on it. And I responded just a tad sarcastically but I don't feel like it's anyone's place to police how you share and build community here. As long as you're not bothering anyone and not spamming people.

Clearly, I accidentally sent the ask to this person twice, and they were bothered. So I apologized and I thought that was that. But am I in the wrong here? What do you think?

Btw thanks @sex-drugz-rockroll for sharing the link and answering the ask I sent you🤗

"You’re such a snob."

Eddie has to actually look around to see if someone else has snuck into his room who Billy could possibly be addressing. Billy's not looking at him, after all. He's digging through Eddie’s music collection, blonde curls obscuring most of his face, except the bemused little smile at the corner of his mouth.

But no, they're still alone.

"Excuse me?" Eddie demands.

When Billy flicks his gaze over to him Eddie gives a performative (theatrical even) second look around the room. "Have you not noticed where we find ourselves at present? Have you confused this trailer for a mansion somehow?" Billy just rolls those baby blues, always so eloquent.

Eddie sets aside the campaign notebooks he'd been doodling in, shifts off the bed, onto the floor to start crawling towards Billy, who turns back to the tapes, making a show of ignoring him as Eddie goes on, "Did you forget which boyfriend you're with right now? You must be thinking of the other one; hair like a rooster," he wiggles his fingers above his head like a crest, "Golden dubloons falling out of his pockets?"

"Dubloons." Billy snorts softly.

"Because I am not a snob." Eddie concludes as he sidles up behind Billy and wraps around him like an octopus, arms and legs and even chin all latched on.

"You absolutely are," Billy disagrees blithely, holding up Eddie's own Iron Maiden cassette above his shoulder for Eddie to inspect. "Music snob."

"Because of Ozzy?" he mumbles into the soft warm spot behind Billy’s ear, honestly rapidly loosing interest in the conversation.

"Because of what's not here."

"I am not nearly stoned enough for you to get all philosophical on me, Blondie."

"To that point," cassette clamshells click-clack together as Billy starts tossing them aside, "Metal. Metal. Metal. Metal, metal, metal, metal."

"I like metal. You like metal too." He flicks at the little spike dangling from Billy's earlobe with his tongue.

"It's not all you like." He reaches back to bury his fingers in Eddie’s hair as he starts kissing and sucking at his neck.

"You can't prove that," he says between nibbles.

Billy's breath has gone gratifyingly shaky, "Oh so that wasn't you grooving to Bryan Ferry in Harrington’s car the other day? That was some shaggy dog we picked up?"

Billy gasps when Eddie bites down hard on the spot where his neck meets his shoulder, "Shut up and put on some music."

Thinking about our drag queens Billy and Eddie and hot editor man Steve au 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

I have no thinkable words so please enjoy this silly video. This au is something we talk about- basically Metalsandwich except Eddie and Billy are Katya and Trixie and Steve is the editor that they're constantly referencing.

[plistommy]

I always love a jealous tommy fic. There's so much to explore there. Did he and steve "practice" when they were younger? How does he feel now seeing steve almost blatantly hanging off of another man (eddie or billy, or both hehe)? It's so delicious that tommy in canon obviously assumed steve would always be His, that he was bound to be asshole king steve with tommy forver, and then steve went and changed. Replaced him with someone else. Discarded him. I love when it's so obvious that tommy didnt even maybe respect steve as a person, just the roll steve "the hair" harrington was and now, seeing steve be allowed to just be himself, shamelessly, with another man must make tommy's blood boil. He missed his chance

Tommy felt like he would puke.

There Steve was, laughing so loudly and sweetly with Billy Hargrove and Eddie Munson on both sides of him, looking at him with such loving eyes that Tommy would love to rip them off and spit on them.

The three of them were hanging at their schools parking lot, Steve perched on top of his beemer as the other two leaned on it. The freak had clearly made some type of joke, because Steve was letting out a ’You’re so funny, Eds!’ as he tried to catch his breath.

The nickname made Tommy fume with rage.

Eds? What the actual fuck was Tommy hearing?

Four years back he and Steve would make fun of that guy, even bullying him a little when he started to wear those freaky ass clothes. People rumored him being into Satan or some shit and Steve and Tommy totally bought it as they laughed at him in the hallways.

And now Steve was throwing himself at the guy as he leaned towards him, hand lingering a little bit too long on the older man’s shoulder.

Tommy saw how Billy, the asshole who had dropped him almost immediately once he got to know Steve, moved his hand to rest on Steve’s thigh in a friendly way from other curious eyes, but Tommy could see through the bullshit.

He knows what those three are. What they do together.

They aren’t just friendly buddies who come together about sports and music and talk about hitting on girls.

They’re together. Partners of some sort which makes Tommy fucking sick in his stomach.

He knew Eddie was into guys the second he saw the freak, Billy probably too, but he wasn’t that sure.

It was only confirmed when he saw the way Billy looked at Steve the first time they showered together after PE.

Everyone looked at Steve once that way. With desire and want.

Wanting to have a taste of The Steve Harrington. Of the King. The rich pretty boy with the charm no one had.

Tommy knew it the best, because that’s how he had felt.

He had felt it when him and Steve had kissed for the first time, hands lingering on each other’s body when Steve had carefully leaned down and put those soft lips onto his.

Or when he had fucked Steve the first time. Those eyes so huge as they stared up at him when Tommy had clumsily lined his dick into the other’s waiting hole. And oh did those eyes go huge as Steve took him in so well, like no one has after him. How he had begged for Tommy’s name, told him he loved him.

And Tommy had loved him back.

Still fucking did.

But then he had fucked it up. Played with the other’s feelings, fucking up with his head which eventually made Steve leave him, his best friend, for fucking Nancy Wheeler. Things had broken that little head of Steve’s too many times and he had finally shattered, showing that sensitive and humane side of him that Tommy knew he was always hiding behind his King Steve persona.

The side he had hated. Because he liked it when Steve was mean.

He blamed the hits Jonathan Byers had given him.

That maybe those made a screw inside Steve’s head loose because how could he ever even think about leaving Tommy like that? After everything?

But he had.

And it made Tommy furious. Sad. Jealous.

Because that should’ve been him up there with Steve right now. Holding onto the boy's thigh and maybe kiss a little if no one was around.

Tommy would give him all the attention he needed. Would’ve fucked him so good no one else would’ve mattered. Steve would’ve never even thought about spreading his legs to Eddie Munson or Billy fucking Hargrove.

Just for Tommy.

”What’s up your ass?” Carol asked, focused on putting her disgustingly sweet lip gloss on, but not enough to not catch Tommy’s suddenly grumpy vibes.

”Nothing.” Tommy groaned out and took a bite of his sandwich.

It tasted bitter now.

Carol brushed it off, going back to chatting with Tina who was sitting beside her, oblivious to whatever Tommy was doing. Not like she really cared. Tommy was sure they’d break up soon, again.

Not that he’d mind.

He glanced back towards Steve and gritted his teeth when he saw the trio start to get in Steve’s car, all happy and smiley because they had ’so much fun’ together.

Ugh.

He didn’t miss how Munson patted Steve’s ass softly when he was bending down to the passenger seat and wait… what the fuck?

Was Billy fucking driving Steve’s car?

Steve never let anyone else drive it. He was too afraid to. Never trusted anyone else with it because his Daddy would get mad if it had even a small scratch on it.

Tommy never drove it.

And that pissed him the hell off, because Billy Hargrove of all people can?

The man with three fucking speeding tickets?

His blood was boiling.

He couldn’t tear his eyes away from the car.

Not even when his eyes locked with those big brown ones that suddenly looked worried when Tommy didn’t look away.

[stranger-rants]

true or false tho: when billy gets bratty and he's on a real streak about it he goes to eddie, because eddie will enable him and he can wrap eddie around his finger. whereas if billy gets caught like that around steve.... well 👀... and then steve and eddie have to have their own lil "chat" about it.

STEVE will put Billy in his place, and he’ll be like EDDIE you are SPOILING him again! That’s just gonna make his behavior worse! To which EDDIE will be like… look at his face. Those eyes. Those cheeks. He’s just a baby. He deserves a little treat.

⚠️ a love triangle with a character making their final choice

Metalsandwich? 💙

Thank you for your ask! I love Metalsandwich!

Here is a little blurb!

When Steve asked Billy to go on a date, Billy immediately accepted. Little did he know that Eddie was organizing a romantic date as well, so he finds himself booked for the same night by the two boys he loved: out for dinner with Steve and then to the movies with Eddie. Everything would have gone ok if Robin Buckley didn't suggest to get to the movie theater after her shift, so now Billy is sitting between Eddie and Steve and both of them are trying to kiss him in the back row.

ASK FOR A BLURB

[stevieschrodinger]

So what are your plans with your new post? With Billy inside Eddie’s head? Does it end at 2 posts or will it continue? Will it be X rated like Eddie x Steve and Billy there like “wow wtf did I miss out on”.

That would be telling, but I am currently writing more.

[lorifragolina]

It's 11.30 AM here, somewhere in Europe. I probably will not sit down until after lunch, but my head is a mess and I don't know what to write, so pleasee choose for me!

[lostlimerence]

Hiya! 😁. Was wondering (and if you wanted to do it) I have a bit of an idea involving Billy Hargrove & fem!reader/oc who have been dating, or have dated and it's a bit rocky atm, Billy is a bit of dick at a party they're at so reader/oc (in a band and stuff like Eddie, plays guitar) smugly yet with attitude sings and dedicates "I hate myself for loving you" by Joan Jett to him .. watching him get even more pissed and possibly storm off, lol.

Hello lovely anon!

Thank you so so much for reaching out with this request! I am so flattered to be asked to write for you. However, (and this is completely my own hang up and nothing to do with you lovely) I just can’t get myself into the right mindset to write reader or oc fics - and I think this is a testament to my capabilities as a writer — I’m not skilled enough to flesh out ocs or reader inserts to a point where I am happy with what I have produced.

If you have any requests with ships like Billy/steve/eddie or Eddie/billy, Billy/steve etc I’d be happy to write something for you (if you look under my stranger things tag my writing for them is there)! I think for your oc/reader requests it would be better to go to someone who is really amazing at bringing them to life!

[writer-in-theory]

could I request ⚠️(the love triangle one) with Billy, Steve and Eddie🥺

absolutely! thank you so much for the prompt!

Steve fell for Billy in the early morning.

They sat on a tiny patch of sand and rocks near Lover's Lake, a cheap alternative to the sunny beaches Billy was used to. He never complained when Steve brought him here, though. Instead, he seemed to light up with the kind of freedom he could only ever find with his feet in the sand. Despite the early spring chill, Billy shed his shirt the moment they walked up to their spot, leaning back in the sand to soak up the lukewarm heat from the sun.

All Steve could think was that Billy was radiant. With his head tipped back to the sky, eyes closed with long lashes occasionally fluttering against the breeze, and golden curls tied up in a bun, he looked beyond this world.

There was a story Steve had to read in high school about one of the Greek Gods, who was the very essence of the sun and warmth. He thinks Billy might have been like this god, once in a lifetime far from theirs. He also thinks he wouldn't have minded being a plant flowering in his presence—the one to withstand the burning heat to feel the eventual gentle warmth across his shoulders.

Steve falls for Eddie in the middle of the night.

They're laying in the headlights of the Beemer by the old basketball court on Fourth, where no one can find them even if they tried. No one came out here anymore, not since the earthquake. It's where the two of them can find peace, watching the stars and sharing a smoke, trading stories about the way things used to be and the way they could be, if only they were willing to fight for that truth.

Steve thinks Eddie's made for the night. His curls are splayed out across the pavement, shining deep and dark against the headlights. His eyes shine too, a deep rich color that Steve gets lost in every time he faces him. Eddie looks alive out here, away from the people who threaten to hurt and judge. He can be himself at midnight, relaxed and smiling with enough cool joy to light up the entire night sky. He's captivating like this, nothing like anyone Steve has seen before.

There was another story, one that Jonathan had shown him while they were studying for Steve's SAT retake. There was a Greek God who lived in the Underworld, the king of the night and of death itself, and yet he'd fallen for the flowers, the spring, the joy. Steve thinks he'd like to be that for Eddie.

And how could Steve ever hope to pick between the sun and the moon? How could the freedom of day and night ever be compared? It may be selfish, but Steve can't help but want it all. He wants the fierce strength of the sun and the comforting coolness of midnight.

Steve loves them both, and the fear of asking for it feels small in comparison to all that love. And as the three of them find their way together, piled on the couch at sunset, Steve thinks they may love his gentle, flowering steadiness, too.

In case you're still taking WIP Wednesday asks:

Old flame

I am! And thank you for asking!!!

Old Flame is really old draft I just recently remembered. Sometimes when you take a look at something you've drafted a long time ago you're like, is this my idea? I came up with this? Wow! This was one of those :D

But Steve really wasn't over Billy. He never was. When Eddie realised this he felt jealous and sad, but he loved Steve and wanted to just be a part of his life, so... “You know...I've always known that I love you more than you love me.” “That's not true, Eddie.” “No, it is, and you know it. And I'm happy despite that I get to share my life with you. I hope you love me at least on some level. But I know Billy is the love of your life. I know that now and it's fine.” Steve looks at Eddie with tears in his eyes. “I never really got over him leaving,” he whispered. Eddie smiled sadly. “I know.” He paused. “I think you should talk with him about it.” “No. He's gotten over me.” “Steve,” Eddie said, leaning to his elbow. “The way he looks at you...It's exactly the same way I look at you. He still has feelings for you.”

Happy Halloween/Day After!

--

Heather perched on the bed, slowly pulling out piece after piece of candy from the bag besides her, popping them in her mouth. She was staring right at her girlfriends, Chrissy sitting in Robin's lap as she applied her makeup for her, Robin's lips and eyelids pink. They were all going as Pokemon, an idea thrust forth by one of the kids that always seemed to be lurking around Steve at any given point in time. The kids would then be Team Rocket, with Dustin as Ash Ketchum solely because he wears a hat all the time.

It took some convincing, but then Chrissy thought it was sweet so of course Heather was doing it, and Robin was already about to do it because Steve can never say no to the twerps. They didn't need the supervision either it sounded like, it was just to 'make the group costume look even better'.

Heather was already dressed up, wearing a brown sweater over a cream dress, her hair done up as usual. Her hands were covered by brown leather gloves, which she stole from Billy with permission. Attached to her was a cape as well, handmade by Eddie of all people, to act as the fox tails.

Chrissy hadn't changed yet, but her costume was sitting right besides Heather, a dress that Chrissy affectionally referred to her as her chocolate strawberry dress and a white headband with little pink and white butterflies on both sides of her head. Her gloves, also brown but went up to her elbows, were currently being fussed with by Robin, the fabric wrapped around her wrist at the moment.

Robin hops up the moment Chrissy slides off her, moving to look at herself in the mirror. Chrissy did a great job, Robin blushing red when she spotted the little black music notes drawn next to her left eye. She turns, chin ducking into the white ruff around her neck. "I look both great and also like a total absolute doofus. You sure I need this?" She tugs at the collar.

Chrissy nods, already slipping out of her pyjama pants to pull on the brown tights for her costume. "That's what the book showed! You look great Robin!"

Heather nods in agreement, Robin still fussing with the thing.

"I feel like a clown."

"If you're a clown you're the cutest clown I've ever seen," Heather says, unwrapping one of the individually wrapped gummies and tossing it into her mouth. She smirks when Robin just sputters, smile playing at the teen's lips.

Chrissy giggles, her head hidden in the dress as she pulls the fabric over. "You would make the cutest clown ever though, Robin! Oh! You could be the clown that toots a little horn!"

"I can't believe my own girlfriends, loves of my lives in a romantic setting, are calling me a clown."

Heather raises a finger. "Hey, cute clown. Don't misquote us."

Once Chrissy was dressed they headed out of Heather's house. Steve's car was parked outside, Robin's ride to Heather's place. They would drive all the way to the Wheeler's to meet up with the kids, and then go from there. Steve waves at them from where he was sitting on the hood, the guy dressed in a brown sweater with a fluffy beige scarf wrapped around his neck, with a massive brown tail sticking out from behind him. Robin wastes zero time stealing the passenger seat, leaving Chrissy and Heather to sit in the back.

"Looking great, Steve." Heather slaps a hand on his shoulder as he slides into the drivers, Steve adjusting the headband on his head with the ears as it nudges against the roof of the car.

"Yeah well. Least I didn't almost get orphan dinosaur."

Heather squints. "Orphan what?"

Steve pulls out of Heather's driveway. "Mike said Billy should be the... Cub Bone? Or something. Because his parents up and left him so he's an orphan. Then Max pushed him."

"Go Max."

"I know right? But anyways Billy's something else now. Upgrades."

Steve takes a turn, then pulls up to the Wheeler's. They could all see the kids already waiting outside, Dustin walking up to Steve's window and knocking on it. Steve rolls his eyes before rolling down the window, Dustin sticking his head in.

"Took you long enough! Come on, we need the whole team!"

"Hold on a second I didn't even turn the car off geez-" Steve switches the engine off, the girls climbing out. Steve had to wait until Dustin backed away from the door before he could exit.

Heather's eyes scanned the group. The kids all were wearing very similar outfits, save for El and Max, who were in white instead of black, Max's hair dyed a pink shade while Jane had a blue wig slapped on her head. Under Jane's arm was a cat doll with a yellow oval taped to its head. Billy was leaning against the house, cigarette between his lips. He looked like he always does, save for the blue mouse ears on his head and the cape pinned to his back, the inside white and the outside a blue shade. As Heather got closer she realised his face was smeared the same blue, his forehead hair curl also blue. Billy's eyes focuses on her immediately. He curls his lips at her, winking and pushing off the house to walk over.

"Looking good, Heath."

"I would say you too, but you still look like you put in no effort."

Billy shrugs. "My looks are effortless."

Heather rolls her eyes, but it's playful. "Uh huh. And where's dumbass number three?"

Billy jerks a head towards the door, Eddie popping out of it looking like a demon. It was obvious he put a lot more thought into it, horns on his head and face painted black and orange. His jacket was just as black, with white 'bone' wrapped around the collar and a skull necklace. Heather could see a devil tail dragging behind him, Eddie skipping over to the group.

"Alright, the bladder demon has been eviscerated!" Eddie chirps, followed by the echoing groans from the kids and Steve. "Oh, hi Heather, love your Vulpix costume!"

"Is that what this is? Well, thanks Munson."

Eddie grinned with sharper teeth than usual, bowing ever so dramatically and waltzing over to the kids. "Alright! Who is ready to steal sweets from the unfortunate and bountiful!"

The group coalesce with cheers from the boys, but only so they could all move as one down the street to begin trick or treating. Of course the kids led, not that the older teens brought any sort of collection bag.

"So where's Nancy and Jonathan?" Robin asked a few minutes in as they waited on the sidewalk for the kids to collect their candy.

"Jonathan's home with Ms. Byers. Nancy went with Barb. Left Stevie here in charge of the Party." Eddie gestures to Steve, slapping a hand on his shoulder. Steve turns his head and shrugs.

"Always the babysitter, every single time."

"And you're doing a swell job, big boy." Eddie pats his shoulder a few more times.

"Steeeeve, they made us only take one! And they're only the snack sizes too! This is a scam! A scam I say!" Dustin shouts as he strides down the driveway shaking his bag. Erica looked equally as offended, still glaring at the house as the kids move as one to the next house.

"Well, maybe the next house will be better. If you're just gonna complain I might make Billy take a candy tax for it."

"He better not!"

Billy, ever the menace, just stalks closer silently, Dustin quickly moving away from him. "Hey! I won this fair and square! Stop!!"

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to your favorite writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💜

This has been sitting in my inbox since August 22, 2022... it's also reminding me how much Tumblr broke the links. SCREAMING.

It's All Coming Back to Me. Harringrove.

The sauna scene from 3x04 and the moment with El 3x08 got mixed together with a little spice. Billy is flayed and Steve’s on a mission with Robin, Dustin, and Erica to bring him back. And maybe this time it isn’t as difficult as they thought it would be. Angst with a happy ending.

2. The Recluse. Steddie.

Steve has missed Eddie terribly and after getting some signs from the Upside Down, he decides to go on a mission to bring Eddie home… but what if when he gets there, Eddie isn’t quite the Eddie he remembers?

3. Eddie in the Bathroom. Steddie.

Eddie and Steve used to date, they were in love, or so Eddie thought. Then Steve dumped him right before Tina’s annual Halloween party. And now Nancy Wheeler is tucked under Steve’s arm and Eddie can’t stand to look. He’s now hiding out in the bathroom, drowning in his thoughts and memories.

4. Hit the Lights. Mungrove.

Billy lived after the s3 finale and became part of the party, and Eddie lived after the s4 finale. The party all gathers at Steve’s to rest and well… there may only be one bed left for the two of them.

5. Go Eat Slugs. J-Hope x female!Reader.

One sided enemies to lovers. Hoseok just wants to go to the Yule Ball with Reader, but she has deemed him her arch nemesis. (I worked really hard to make this as accurate as possible despite never watching/reading any Harry Potter)

[steddieholidayexchange]

Can I write and/or request Harringroveson in this?

Technically, yes!

As long as Steve and Eddie are present in the ship, you can request it in your prompt and you may be able to claim one as well!

If you do request it, just remember that it's not everyone's cup of tea and since this is a Steddie exchange, that prompt may not get picked (out of the three you give us).

There are very few rules with this exchange and as of right now, no hard limits on what you can or can't request!

Thanks for asking!

[stranger-rants]

Billy would say "sorry I have nice tits and a correct opinion" to both Steve and Eddie (and Eddie agrees no matter what the argument was about)

The tits are hypnotizing. That’s how he gets his bills paid.
