Comments on Beginnings

Part One Interlude Part Two Part Three coming soon and also on ao3

So I’m going to address this because even though the commenter here is super rude by the end (Like, guys, I’m bowled over that people are even reading my fic and comments fuel me and I'm into your opinions so don’t be a dick, right?) this is a common theme people are commenting about.

Anyway.

Robin, Robin, Robin. Girl. First up, all the older teens are getting a chance for growth in this fic so don’t worry her chance is coming. But also, it���s 1985 and she’s what 17 maybe 18? And like two months before Steve tells her his tragic backstory she DID NOT LIKE him. He’s created a character of King Steve who was NOT likable. Yes, we know why and yes, it’s super horrible. But Robin bought into it. She thinks he's REFORMED but that doesn't mean he didn't do bad shit before. She absolutely knows what he did to Jonathan because it was all over school. She knows he's not like that NOW but it's not off base to assume he could have done something similar to Eddie in the past.

By the time Eddie is stalking Steve, she wants to believe it's a big coincidence, that at the age of 19 Eddie has matured enough that he's moved past whatever shit he pulled before. By Steve's own admission the worst thing Eddie has done is smile and wave in the grocery store. She's operating on the age old premise that the best way to to deal with a bully is to not feed him. Don't give him the attention he wants. Trust me, as a resident old person, this is exactly how we were taught to deal with bullies. Do we often know better in 2023? Yup. But this isn't a modern au and adults don't care. Boys will be boys. Survival of the fittest etc.

In closing, I hope you will all continue on this journey with me so everyone can get their redemption arc. I truly value your thoughts and opinions (even added some stuff inspired by comments on the previous installments) and y'all are making my day with your heart and reblogs and comments. Thank you for not sucking.

it’s a slow day at family video. it’s on of robins rare days where she works early mornings (who needs movies /this/ early in the morning anyways??) without steve. she’s done everything she needed to, restock shelves, clean up, the whole thing. as she waits for the gaggle of customers that aren’t going to come in until later in the day, she grabs a pen and starts doodling. she’s sitting on the ground behind the counter, a fan blowing in her general direction. she brings her knees to her chest, messing with the hem of her socks. she fixes her position to criss cross applesauce, with her right foot over her left. she moves her socks down, trying her best to not let it get in her way. she knows what she’s gonna draw. she wants a tattoo of it someday. someday when she’s out of this small town. somewhere where no one knows her besides the people she brought with (read: steve). she draws the double female sign (⚢). running her fingers over it, she sighs deeply. one day she’ll come out. then she’ll leave.

I love it when a fic satisfies my needs for cuddles, and it’s educational so now I know why I need cuddles. The more you know…

robin baby blurb idea : using ur gf as a human weighted blanket :3

"Robs?" you murmur, lolling your head to the side. 

She turns around where she's sitting cross legged at the coffee table, her face the same height as yours. "What?" she asks. 

You've been laid out on the couch all day and Robin has kept you in diligent and quite frankly adorable company. You should be grateful she's entertained your laziness, but you're greedy. 

"Come hug me." 

Her cheeks pink quickly. It's cute. It's more than cute – it makes you want to cover her pretty face in kisses, one for every single freckle. 

She walks on knees and sets on her haunches, head tilted, lovely hair falling in her face. There's a certain frenetic rhythm to how she brings her hands to your shoulders, warm fingers and soft palms pushing under your neck. 

"Are you still tired?" she asks. "You know, all this lying down is gonna make you feel worse, not better." 

You force your hands under her armpits and encircle her back, pulling her in. She doesn't put up a fight. 

"You know what will make me feel better?" you ask. 

"I don't like squishing you." 

"You don't squish me, Buckley." 

Robin smiles at you like she might say no. You can smell her cherry smackers lip balm as she leans in. "Ten minutes," she concedes.

"Yes!" you say, giggling as she pulls herself up on the couch, swinging her leg over you to get down flat.

Chest to chest, her thigh pushes between yours and her face falls into the slope of your shoulder, her cheek warm with blush. 

She's a steadying weight. The blurriness you've tried to fight all day feels lessened with her so close and her heat brings that sense of safety you crave instantaneously. You melt under her like fruit sorbet in the sun. 

"Why does it…" You ask her this question all the time. She probably knows what you're gonna say before you say it. "Feel so nice, to be this close?"

She lifts her head, her fingertips chasing down your face, following the path of a teardrop that hasn't welled. "Well," she starts, nodding towards her shoulder, "your nervous system is super sensitive to pressure, and when I lie on you like this," she drops her hand, spreading her fingers over your cheek, "I'm stimulating pressure. Your body goes into rest mode, and your hormones…" 

You blink up at her, smiling softly. "Keep going."

"I forgot what I was saying," she admits. 

You giggle thick like there's honey running down your throat, enamoured wildly by her, by her obvious feelings for you. 

"It's my stress hormone," you prompt gently.

"Right! Your stress hormone, cortisol, is lowered. You start to make more melatonin, and that's what makes you tired. When you're tired your defenses lower, and that makes you feel safe." She squeezes your cheek thoughtlessly. 

"What about my Robin hormone?" you ask. 

"Which one's that?" 

"One that makes me need a kiss real bad." 

She rolls her eyes. She's a terrible actress with even less discipline, and you can tell she's gonna give in and kiss you seconds before she breaks. 

"You're a total cornball," she says, words hot on your skin. "Ridiculous." She kisses you, not quite chaste, her fingertips pushed into the underside of your jaw as she cups your neck. 

"You love it," you say sweetly. "'Nother kiss please, cherry girl." 

She gives you another kiss and another, as many as you ask for, and you ask for a few.

you can pry happy endings from my cold-dead hands. It can be the most heart stopping, gut wrenching fic that has every existed and I will read every drop of it if I get my happy ending. I have had enough painful endings in real life, give me happy in my fantasy world. It can be at the last second, it can be a single sentence, even a single word. Give me all the angst and hurt in the world for 500,000 words, but please give me the comfort I need in the ending. please and thank you.

Steve gets really into birdwatching after patrolling the woods around Hawkins for upside down creepy-crawlies and then accidentally joins the Hawkins Community Birdwatching Society, and rightfully doesn’t tell anybody about it because he still wants the party to think he’s cool.

However. Eddie brings his uncle around the party for the first time and before he can introduce him, Wayne’s like, “Hey, Steve. Diana tell ya that she saw a pileated woodpecker outside of Melvards last week?”

When Steve doesn’t respond with confusion, a record scratches inside Robin and Eddie’s brains at the same time because

“This is Wayne? Your friend Wayne??” Robin asks at the same time that Eddie exclaims, “Steve from bird club is Steve Harrington?!”

[steddieme]

steve calls both robin and eddie babe. and those two have a bit of a rivalry going on. eddie thinks since steve is his boyfriend he's the reigning Babe. but steve called robin babe first and she says that makes her more special.

steve continues to call them both babe because he loves the attention and thinks it's hilarious.

steve: babe

robin and eddie at the same time: yeah?

robin and eddie, now glaring at each other: ...

everyone else at the table: ?

steve: can you pass me the salt?

robin and eddie: *hold eye contant for a second before they both scramble for the salt*

robin, all smug after winning: here you go

steve, pleased as punch: thank you

eddie, pouting: :(

everyone else at the table: wtf was that

[cheer-nympho]

Imagine Eddie and Chrissy accidentally running into each other while spying on scoops,

Eddie sat on a bench behind a shrubbery looking through but he spots Chrissy doing the same across the court- they stare at each other for what feels like the longest few seconds of all time, shocked and baffled, before Eddie ducks and stealth runs to her bench,

Just sitting next to her and loudly whispering “What are you doing?!”

“What am I doing? What are you doing!”

“Well, I was just..-“ They hear a giggle from scoops and both duck under the plant and look through the gaps again. Immediately they turn back on each other with their fingers raised “You’re spying!” They both whisper at the same time before looking around to check no one heard,

Eddie puts his arm around her to duck her down away from the stores view and from anyone looking over- because their duo is bound to turn heads even without the whole hiding in foliage thing.

“Okay okay, we’re both spying on scoops. Now I’m sure neither of us are here for the overpriced sundaes, so what are you looking at PomPom?”

“PomPom?”

“Codename, keep up.”

“I’ll tell you if you tell me.”

“Well I’ll tell you if you tell me…”

“Well I’ll…Eddie this is silly!”

“Okay fine! So we’re both spying on scoops. Neither of us are here with our friends…we’re being secretive instead of just going in…we’re both 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 why we’re here. Chrissy, U think we’re here for similar reasons, I think there’s a reason we don’t wanna tell each other.”

“But what if- What if it not the same reason? What if you…freak out or get spooked?”

“How about this, if I promise not to be annoyed by what you say- you promise the same back?” She looks around the food court a few times before looking back at him determined and nodding.

“Okay, 3, 2, 1”

Then at the same time…

“I was spying on Robin!” / “I was checking out Steve!”

Followed by

“The hair Harrington?!” / “From band?!”

Chrissy levels him with an unimpressed look, to which Eddie sheepishly removes his arm from hers. “Okay fair, mine is weirder.”

Cut to Eddie having a clever (read: incredibly dumb) plan of going in together so they can talk to Robin and Steve without ‘arousing suspicion’ Chrissy finds herself full of new confidence so doesn’t feel like pointing out that it was more subtle if they just went in alone.

steddie fake dating au that starts because robin’s mom keeps pushing for her and steve to get together and robin gets so fed up that she yells, “it’s not gonna happen because some people are gay, mom!”

and upon seeing the utter horror and fear on her face, steve swoops in and says he’s the one who’s gay. cue mr. and mrs. buckley, local hippies, attempting to show how supportive they are, and all the while steve gets eddie to agree to fake date to get the buckleys to prove they’re safe, so that robin will feel comfortable enough to come out to her parents.

I had the pleasure of working on this Stranger Things themed tarot card thanks to @carriethesaint 🌞 and decided to draw one of my favourite cards, The Sun. And who better to represent the sheer joy, fun, and warmth of this card than our favourite platonic soulmates ? 💛🌻✨

Corroded Coffin making it big after touring with Metallica, but at this point they’re basically immune to being starstruck ever again (because…well, they’ve toured with Metallica) so they’re pretty chill around famous people.

Fast forward to an award show a couple months later, Eddie brings Steve, Steve brings Robin and while Eddie just mostly stays at their table chatting away with Jeff and James, Steve and Robin get drunk and go absolutely ballistic.

Running around, stealing bread from all the other tables, and doing shots with everyone who’s willing to put up with their antics. At some point Steve comes up to Eddie, hands on his shoulders, excited and giddy and tells him, „Hey Eds, I just talked to Rick Astley! He’s such a nice guy. Robin told him he should release a negative version of his song and just sing ‘then im gonna give you up, then im gonna let you down’ and he actually seemed to consider it as an April Fool’s joke or something.”

And Eddie just looks at him, an amused, fond smile on his lips, says, “that’s great, baby, m’glad you’re having fun“ and presses a kiss to Steve’s neck, before turning around again, resuming his conversation with Kirk about about a song idea.
