What a good episode. Maaaaaan
#I can't even start I'd be here forever#It did take me in fact like one hour total to watch it lmoa. It sooooo good!!! The animation is very good#(albeit it's awfully low on brightness at times. But such seems to be the sin of lot of recent media unfortunately)#but I'm not even going to dwell on that. The plot / storytelling is so good. Sooooo god. I adore this arc.#Love the symbolism. I've been saying this for almost two years now (is it really been that long ever since these episodes came out... ) but#I want to write an analysis on the op & ed so baddd. The emphasis on the twilight this episode!!#Like the sun was setting on the detective agency. I love love love the hd. They're so cool in this episode and they're so cool in general.#I ADORE Jouno. I don't feel particularly strongly for sue/giku yet their scenes are so cute and funny. I see why people ship them.#Even Tetchou I don't usually care much about is so !!!!! I love all the hd so much fr!!!!!!!!!!#I love love love Jouno. Like much like it is for Akutagawa I'm very weak for characters that aren't really good people.#But they're still trying to be a better person than they were. And oftentimes they end up doing a terrible job!!#But the fact alone that they're //trying// has me ougheueueueu. Here in this episode you can see Jouno–#sliping very easily in his cruel / sadistic habits. But he is trying to be a person that cares for others! He made good actions in the past#and he will again in the future even though right now he's acting like this! Because improvement isn't linear! I love him tonsss#And DON'T get me started on the ada. Yosano's “Welcome” scene. I love women. I love women. Yosano please one chance#KENJI'S SCENE God I needed this. How could I forget the way this literllyyyyy rewinded my brain when I read the manga for the first time.#That scene is so deep and poignant and so so meaningful I. Oughhh#I am going to run out of tags am I not#Kyouka saving Atsushi!!!!!!! That scene is one of my all time favourites. It makes me soft to remember when the s4 trailer dropped–#I was so overjoyed for that bit of them holding hands :') Rightfully so!!! It's so cute.#Her coming back to save Atsushi. The “don't worry– I didn't kill them” direct towards Atsushi–#that is so so Akutagawa and it sends me insane hhhhhhgggggggggg#Kunikida!!!!! His “I'm not leaving anyone behind”!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not precisely Kunikida's first fan but aaaaaahhh he makes me feel–#so much for him in this scene!!!!! Mmmhhh one last note would be. It bugs me a little how the ada is defined terrorist by the military–#forces starting this episode? I don't have space to elaborate properly but. An action to be considered terrorism must have clear political–#orientation and goal. Violence alone isn't enought to be defined terrorism. It's an incorrect use of the word#Up to the next episode!!! Can't wait to see more Atsushi đŸ„°đŸ„°#random rambles#It's late now and probably most are asleep rn... Then I'll be queing my posts for tomorrow probably

Eddie Munson x AFAB reader, friends to lovers, mentions of nudity, brief mention of masturbation (m). Basically, Eddie finds you sleeping naked in his bed.
A/N: Idk I've had this idea in my head for too long now and I need to exorcise it out of me with this little drabble or I'll never be able to get on with my life.
Tumblr media
Forest Hills trailer park wasn't your usual stop after clocking out of work but after the day you’ve had you don’t have it in you to wait for the next bus back to your apartment. Your place is 30 minutes away but the journey is sure to take even longer in the current downpour.
Staying over at the trailer wasn't anything new. A spare key was entrusted to you years ago and you made use of it on days like this to crash at Eddie’s for convenience sake. The key came with the promise that you were welcome to anything you needed even if both Eddie and Wayne were away – shower, food, an extra change of clothes, what have you, and you needed them all today.
With Wayne out of town for a few days and Eddie due back in two hours you sink into auto pilot, weary down to the bone from your shift. Maybe that’s why it doesn’t feel as weird as it probably should when you started to undress in their kitchenette, hanging your work clothes over the back of a nearby chair, rummaging through the fridge in your bra and panties for a quick bite to eat before heading for the shower.
There wasn’t much in it besides beer since Wayne hadn’t been around to stock it. Eddie always preferred ordering take out over getting groceries – something you were going to nag him for again when you had the strength to do so.
Cereal it would have to be.
You located a box inside one of the cupboards, tipping the wheaty, sugary contents straight into your mouth without bothering with a bowl and spoon. It’s not lost on you how similarly you’re acting to Eddie right down to the unruly state of half undress, wiping crumbs off your lips with the back of your hand. If you finished off with a belch it'd be like he never left the trailer this morning.
The messy mouthfuls of cereal prove enough to silence the toad’s croak of hunger that'd been gurgling noisily inside your belly, putting the box away.
Traipsing through, feet dragging, you threw your clothes into the washer next along with your underwear, completely nude now in the Munson trailer as you made your way to the shower – but not before reaching out for Eddie's Garfield mug that sat on a nearby shelf, turning it around so that the cartoon cat's lazy smirk no longer faced you. For your modesty.
You try to keep the shower brisk, not wanting to use up all the hot water but with the way it sprays down on your aching body, the steam and heat combo soothing your poor sore muscles, it’s so blissful that you have to keep yourself from nodding off right there.
You did make use of Eddie’s body wash, some spicy, woodsy smelling thing in a jet-black bottle but you didn't dare use the two in one shampoo that sat in their shower caddy. It might have worked fine for Eddie and his wild mane but you knew better than to apply the stuff to your own hair. Fortunately, experience had taught you to carry a travel sized bottle filled with your own shampoo whenever you stayed over, working over your locks in a lather scented with cranberries and vanilla.
Stamina depleting by the second, toweling off and brushing your teeth takes the last sliver of energy out of you. Eyelids slipping, movements sluggish, limbs feeling too heavy for your own body to hold up – you’re shutting down whether you like it or not.
Dropping the damp towel on his bedroom floor, you intended to change, you really did. You’d even picked out one of Eddie’s washed t-shirts and a pair of boxers out of the laundry and set them down at the foot of the bed to put on before you made yourself comfortable but that’s not what happened.
Still nude, you crawl into bed, seeking warmth and soft comfort, numbed down to a kind of tunnel vision with rest being your one and only goal.
It feels all the more natural because you’re used to sleeping naked in your own bed, much too tired to remember that you’re not in your bed, draping a blanket that doesn't belong to you over your spent body, surrendering to sleep seconds after your head hits the pillow.
It'd still been raining when Eddie returns later. Dragging himself through the trailer, nearly as worn down as you had been, shaking the excess water out of his hair like a dog trying to get dry.
The smell of your shampoo still lingering in the air tells him you're there, finding you curled up in his bed, all bundled up to your neck. The sight makes him smile.
It doesn't take too long for him to join you, following a similar routine – a quick bite with the addition of a beer and then a shower, only he doesn't skip out on clothing himself in his PJ's first.
If he’d shared the blanket with you he might have found out about your lack of dress sooner but as the gentleman that he can sometimes be, he pulls out a spare blanket from the closet so as to not wake you, prolonging the discovery. Being friends for so long meant that sharing a bed was never awkward even after you'd became adults.
That was until the next morning came.
It’s not the stream of morning light brightening from a cool blue to a warm amber peeking in between the curtains that wakes Eddie, or even the tinny smack of his neighbor’s broken screen door gusting open just a few feet away from his bedroom window. It’s the warmth of your ass pressed flush against his crotch and his nose nestled in your sweet-smelling hair that pulls him out of a dream he wont be able to recall later if he tried.
He shifts closer, eyes cracking open, remembering the tiny bottle of shampoo sitting on the bathroom counter. Remembering the new toothbrush placed in the cup next to his own. Remembering the powder blue towel that neither he nor Wayne ever used laying on his bedroom floor.
And then he remembers that he’s not alone.
Oh...
And then he wishes that he was.
Panic snaps up like a beartrap around Eddie when he realizes he's hard – his thick, throbbing erection pressed right up against your body.
Growing clammy, cold sweat beads on the back of his neck but he’s in luck because you haven’t noticed yet, still sound asleep.
This close together, he knows the slightest movement could rouse you. But what was the alternative? Wait it out? Hope to hell his boner goes away? Fat fucking chance. Not when the soft swell of your ass and your body heat alone had him questioning how he could ever go back to his calloused fist after this.
Carefully, desperately, he tries to inch back without waking you but just as he feared, you begin to stir. Your back arches instinctively, seeking out his warm, solid frame even in your sleep.
Shit shit shit.
The covers slip as you shift, your bare shoulders coming into view, eyes starting to flutter open. With no other option, Eddie swiftly rolls on to his back, his hard on no longer pressed up against you but the problem persists.
“Oh, morning”, you greet him through a yawn, pulling an arm out to rub at your eyes, blanket slipping lower but the frantic boy hasn’t noticed yet, too busy whipping his pillow out from under him to place over his lap.
“Uh-hey. Shower’s free if you wanna go first”, he offers quickly, smiling hard, hoping to subtly usher you out because he's too afraid to get up and risk you getting a load of the tent in his pants if he were to go ahead of you.
“Thanks”, you yawn again, still occupied with rubbing at your sleepy eyes to notice your best friend's pale face turning beet fucking red in an instant as you clamber out of bed, blankets no longer concealing you.
Eddie doesn’t know where to look first. His eyes dart everywhere, every bare inch of you on display. So much soft, naked skin it’s making him short circuit.
His gaze eagerly travels over the slope of your breasts as they jiggle gently with your movements, taking in your soft nipples, moving down over your belly and hips, noticing a few new freckles and beauty marks there along the way to the soft curls between your legs.
His erection digs into the pillow, brain dangerously close to fizzing because he’d been pressed up against you like that all night and not even known it.
A shiver works its way through you, making you question why it feels so drafty in his room all of a sudden. You turn back to ask Eddie if there’s anything wrong with the heating, catching the shocked expression on his face.
Looking down, you're met with the sight of your nude body, breasts bare, no underwear. It's a good thing the occupants of the trailer park liked to mind their own business, even if sometimes you thought they did so to a fault because in any other neighborhood your piercing screech would have had everyone within earshot dialing up the cops.
The scream ricochets off the walls at an ear ringing volume, causing Eddie to jolt and lose his balance, falling out of bed while you leapt back in. Grabbing his spare pillow, you press one half against your chest and squeeze the rest between your thighs to shield yourself.
Now he slaps his hands over his eyes.
---
More than anything, you try so hard to push it aside. To pretend that it hadn't happened but it looms over you like a cloud on the brink of bursting with rain.
After three whole days of walking around eggshells around each other it's Eddie who breaks first.
"I can't stand this I don't know what else to do, Can we just talk about it please?"
“Eddie
", you sigh, a gentle warning.
"So what if I saw you naked? you saw my boner!...sort of. I mean, I guess that doesn't exactly make us even but it has to count for something, right? you're not alone in this"
You immediately set your wide eyes on the only other patrons in the diner to see if they’d overheard – two older women swapping pictures of their grandchildren over coffee and cheesecake. When neither of them take a pause in the middle of cooing about little Tommy's third Birthday or little Emily's first day of Kindergarten you redirect your attention back to Eddie.
“Eddie! Keep your voice down!”, you whisper shout at him from across the booth. "There are literal grandmother's here!"
He rolls his eyes. Not mean spirited, just unconcerned by the ladies and what they may or may not have overheard.
And then, even though no one’s paying either of you any attention, you lean closer over your half-finished key lime pie, one hand shielding the side of your face like you’re trying to avoid getting recognized by an ex who’s just walked in.
"I'm so embarrassed...please can we just drop it?", you plead, voice hushed.
He gives you this look of mild incredulity. "You have nothing to be embarrassed about. Trust me", and the inflection in his tone almost gives him away, prompting him to double back immediately.
The last thing he wants is for you to feel more uncomfortable than you already do. So he doesn't need you to catch on that he's got every moment of your unintended strip tease memorized. Or that he likes to replay what he's since thought of as the best 10 seconds of his life over and over again when he's fucking his fist in the shower.
“I just mean that it's nothing to be embarrassed by. It could have happened to anyone. Who among us hasn’t napped in just their birthday suit before, am I right?” he finishes with a slight wince, knowing none of this is exactly helpful.
And you know he’s only trying to be nice in his own, sweet, bumbling way but you still feel terrible.
"I don't know if I can shake this feeling", you cast your eyes down, looking too close to despondent for his liking.
"Listen I- I don't know how to fix this but I want to. Please just tell me what I can do and I'll do it, okay?"
God, he's sweet and it makes you feel a little flustered being on the receiving end of that gentle stare, needing to shift the mood lest you drown in all that earnestness pooling in his eyes.
It's moments like this that call for a bad joke to cut the tension, right? some momentary and well meaning deflection before you're ready to address the matter at hand again.
Letting out a half hearted laugh, you make your best attempt to inject some humor into the situation.
"I don't know. Maybe it might help if you got naked too", you nervously scraped your fork against the buttery graham cracker crust of your pie, dislodging a few golden crumbs.
It was so very clearly a joke. At least you had thought so. Eddie? not so much.
His brown eyes go wide, looking scandalized, his voice coming out a little more quite than you're used to.
"What?"
"I mean, I showed you mine after all", you tried again in a cadence that was wholly unserious but once again, he fails to catch on.
"You want me to get naked for you?"
You should correct him and you mean to but before you're able to do just that, something about the way he's staring at you makes you want to match his seriousness. The fact that he didn't say no right away strikes you as weirdly intriguing.
"You don't have to", you clarify, adding, "It's just that – well, you asked and I think it could maybe help? to really get us on even ground?”
The words that come out don't feel like you own – foreign to your ears even though they're said in your voice, with your own lips forming them and your own tongue curling around every syllable.
What the hell am I doing?
Eddie pauses. Seconds drag on like nails on a chalkboard as he taps a ringed finger thoughtfully on the edge of his empty plate smudged with faint traces of cream cheese and lime zest.
"Fine. On one condition", he leans back, arms crossing over his chest, smiling wide and megawatt bright.
Oh my god is this really happening?
“...Yeah?”
"You're going to undress me"
---
Part two? who knows. Certainly not I.

there's a part of canto vi I've been thinking about since it came out, and it doesn't actually have anything to do with Heathcliff.
this
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She is bitter as fuck and as time goes on she's getting worse at keeping it down. Sinclair's the one who started it, by talking about how sad it is that they'd never get to see color, and Rodya starts to get a little irritated over it (yeah, sure, pity the Backstreets folk and their poor miserable little lives, privileged nest boy), but she's obviously trying not to straight up call Sinclair a privileged nest boy because she doesn't want to. But then Yi Sang and Ishmael join in on talking about how sad this place is with no color and she just can't keep her opinion down.
But that makes the atmosphere tense, and she hates a tense atmosphere, so she changes the subject and her tone, not giving a damn about how obvious it is. also, haha, ice and cold references.
And actually, this doesn't really have much evidence to support it, but I wonder if she holds a higher level of resentment for Sinclair in particular.
Canto II had some discussion about how Rodya wishes she was special (and while I think what Sonya said about her killing the tax collector just to feel special is absolute bullshit, I do also think there is some truth to her wanting to feel special), and introduced us to the concept of The Sign in a way that was vague and more like foreshadowing than actually introducing it. Then Canto III was all about The Sign, and how special Sinclair is, and since then we've had people talking about signs and stars and a new birth of the world and it's all stuff Rodya doesn't get to be part of.
I don't think she wants to hold resentment for Sinclair, and she especially never wants him to know, but going back after all this time and rereading this one interaction with him in Canto II felt pretty jarring.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the more important part of this is the way it feels like she's making a joke at Heathcliff's expense, for being poor, like even though she's also from the Backstreets she feels she's "above" it.
She absolutely does not feel this way.
On my way to find the first passage, I reread some other interesting stuff:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once again, there's the harsh juxtaposition between casual, fun-loving Rodya, and tired, poor man's advocate Rodya. Almost everyone on the team speaks through the lens of a Nest dweller (I have to wonder if learning that Heathcliff was apparently raised in a mansion made her even more bitter), and the way she's so short with her mention of the Sweepers makes me think she's thinking about how painfully obvious it would have been to any other Backstreets dweller. And then, right after, dropping back into her casual voice, and Sinclair revealing that Rodya used the fucked up Backstreets creature to tease him...
Other obvious moments of Rodya being bitter as hell about rich people include this part of S.E.A.
Tumblr media
and this part of her observation logs on Spiral of Contempt (actually, nearly everything in that log that isn't about the physical abnormality has to do with how much she hates how rich people look down upon the poor)
Tumblr media
Hong Lu's canto comes after Don's, and then after his is RyƍshĆ«'s, who, based on her source material, probably served one of the most awful, contemptuous rich people the sinners have access to, and I really hope at some point here Rodya gets to snap in a big way
...hey so I wrote this entire post at 1 in the morning and then saved it to drafts because I didn't want to post something at 1 in the morning. the Timekilling Time trailer came out about two hours later, featuring both Rodya... and the long-awaited return of the Yurodiviye. so now it's past 3 in the morning for me but I'm posting it now anyway because ohohoho seeing the Yurodiviye again has given me SO much energy
I have a feeling all this is going to be very relevant extremely soon

Beg You to Love Me
"I'm surprised you even remembered, Harrington," Eddie shrugs, hoping he comes off as aloof as he wants to, instead of shaky and unsure like he feels. He was sitting atop the picnic table, arms behind him trying to look as unaffected by Steve's presence as he can, but he's been thrown for a loop ever since Steve emerged from the woods instead of Robin Buckley, like he was expecting.
"Of course, I remember. I- I've never forgotten," Steve whispers, head down and fists clenched at his sides. He looks more like a child being wrongfully scolded than a man defending himself.
The words pull a scoff from Eddie, though. Never forgotten? What the fuck ever. "Right. Something to hold over me, then, if I'd stepped too far out of line? Mutually assured destruction?"
Steve's head snaps up and he looks horrified, which Eddie will admit to almost believing. Steve doesn't seem like the type to join the drama club but his acting's pretty fucking good. "What? No! I would have never- I would never have said anything about us to anyone."
"Right. Sure. Of course. Your own reputation to think about there."
Something like hurt flashes across Steve's face before it frosts over. This is the face he's used to see on Steve. Cold and distant. "I- whatever, man. I don't even know why I thought..." but Steve doesn't finish his sentence. He just shakes his head and turns his back on Eddie, heading back the way he came.
He doesn't know why that sparks a rage from deep within him. "Yeah, that's right. Tuck tail and runaway again!"
"I ran away?" Steve shouts back, turning sharply on his heel to glare at Eddie. "You think that I ran away?"
Eddie just spreads his hands to the empty clearing as if to say 'look at all this room around me you've never occupied'. "You weren't here, were you?"
"Because you told me to not be!" Steve stomps back to Eddie but stops a couple yards away.
"Like fuck I did," Eddie argues back, because he didn't tell Steve to go away. He'd told him-
"'If this isn't good enough for you, there's the fucking door.' That's what you told me," Steve quotes, "I thought it was pretty fucking clear what you wanted."
"Yeah, I fucking thought it was clear what I wanted," Eddie snarls, lunging from the picnic table, closing those last few feet to get into Steve's face. "Yet here we are!"
"Don't act like this is my fucking fault. Like you weren't the one who forced it to be my fault. My decision-"
"Yeah, it had to be your damn decision! You were dragging it out-"
"-because you were too much of a coward to do it your-fucking-self-"
"-acting like you were. Acting too good to actually slum it with the trailer trash-"
"-so of course I made the choice that was best for me. Because I deserved more-"
"-like what I had to offer you would never be good enough for the goddman King-"
"-than just being your hookup when I wanted to be-"
"-like I wasn't good enough to be your friend, much less-"
"-your fucking boyfriend!"
"-your fucking boyfriend!"
The contrast of this sudden silence that falls following their screaming match that ends with identical sentiments is jarring. Eddie feels wrong-footed and lost. Confusion and hurt mixing in him that he can see reflected on Steve's face.
"What?" Steve is the first to break the silence, drawing into himself. Arms crossing to hold himself at the elbows as he takes several steps back, as if to be able to see all of Eddie will clear the confusion he's feeling.
Eddie just stares back, slack jawed for a moment. That's. What. No, wait. Really, what? "What what?"
"You- you said 'if this isn't good enough for you, there's the fucking door'. How was I- I thought you- you were breaking up with me!" Steve cries, "you. You said that to make me pick, because you knew I wanted more and you didn't. That's- you were breaking up with me!"
Eddie's in just as much disbelief. "No, you broke up with me! I said if this isn't good enough but, like, I meant if I wasn't good enough. And you left! You walked out because I wasn't good enough to be with you!"
Steve looks stricken and he claws harder at himself, sort of folds into himself like he's going to be sick. "No. No no no, that's- then that means I- it's all been my fault. No no no no."
Eddie stares wide-eyed and frozen as Steve talks to himself. Eddie kind of feels nauseous. There's no way that this is possible. That these last two and a half years of heartbreak have been because of miscommunication. That they both thought the other was breaking up with them and neither actually wanted to.
"Why didn't you- Why didn't you say something?" Eddie asks.
Steve laughs at that, sounding a bit hysteric. "Me!? Why didn't you! I wasn't- I wasn't going to beg you to love me like I had with my parents. You were the one who told me I shouldn't have to do that!"
Yeah. He had. When Steve had broken down and cried on his bed, in his arms, wondering what it was he had done to lose his parents' love. Eddie told him it wasn't his fault, never would be, and that he would never need to beg for love from someone who does love him. It was the same advice Wayne had given him when he'd taken Eddie in.
"I already thought you were wanting to break up. You were being so distant, I thought..."
Steve sucks in a deep breath and nods, "Yeah. Yeah I was. I was scared of scaring you away. Of being too much. Because I- what I felt for you was a lot. I was afraid I'd chase you away if I continued to be so clingy. I pulled back, to reign it in but. Fuck. Fuck!"
Eddie drops to a squat. His legs feel like jelly and he can't keep standing. He squats and looks down so his hair becomes a curtain separating him from the reality of the situation, if only for a moment. Fuck is right.
He's spent his junior and first senior year being pissed at Steve. Hurt by him and what he thought happened. And it's- if Steve's being honest, it's all been for nothing. If they both wanted a deeper relationship, they could have had it. They might still be boyfriends if Eddie hadn't been so wrapped up in his Munson Doctrine. He'd been convincing himself Steve was embarrassed of him, and was working on breaking off their- whatever they were. But he hadn't been.
He's thought such terrible things about Steve over the years. God, what has Steve thought of him over the years? No. He doesn't want to know, actually. That's not what he cares about right now.
He lifts his head to see that Steve's plopped himself onto the ground, sitting cross legged, elbows on his knees and head in his hands.
"Steve. Steve!" He calls Steve's name out until he looks up, looks at him, "why'd you come out here?"
He laughs again, slightly less hysterically, and he's shaking his head like he can't believe what he's about to say. "I. Fuck, I was coming out here to beg you to love me."
"No you fucking weren't!" his tone is filled with disbelief.
"I was," Steve repeats, sounding amused and heartbroken at the same time. "I really, really was. Graduation's coming and I know you want to get out of Hawkins the second that happens and I'm. I was running out of time trying to get you to notice me again, so I was going to beg."
Notice him again? As if Steve doesn't haunt his every waking thought. As if he doesn't dream of Steve every night while his eyes seek him across the halls and in their few shared classes like he's the goddamn night sky and Eddie is a sailor lost at sea needing the north star to guide him home. Eddie's never not noticed him, and he thinks he has to come out here and beg? "When someone loves you, you don't have to beg."
"Yeah, I know," Steve sighs, defeated, which lets Eddie know that Steve does not, in fact, know. He looks away from Eddie, down to his lap.
Fuck, it's like every fantasy Eddie's had of them making up and then making out has been handed to him on a silver platter and he's blowing it. His words are too vague, too easily misinterpreted. Again. He falls forward on to his knees, hands catching him so he's on all fours like an animal. "Steve. I mean it. You don't have to beg."
"I get it, Eddie," Steve huffs, not looking at him. Not actually understanding.
Eddie starts to crawl the distance between them. Steve looks up then, probably to see what the fuck Eddie was doing with the shuffling sounds and the chain on his belt clacking. Eddie watches Steve's eyes go wide, mouth dropping open to a small 'o'. "See, the thing is, Steve," Eddie says, pulling himself up to be just on his knees to shuffle the last few inches closer. Steve leans back to keep his eyes on Eddie's face, which opens his lap up. "You said you know, but I don't think you do." Eddie brings his hands to rest on Steve's shoulders and Steve lets him. "You don't have to beg." He uses his hold on Steve's shoulders to balance himself as he swings a leg wide, to straddle Steve, then shifts his weight to repeat the process with his other leg before settling himself into Steve's lap. Steve's hands land on his hips and Eddie isn't sure if it's intentional or a reaction to Eddie plopping himself in his laps but he's going to believe it's the first one. "You've never had to beg with me."
Steve sucks in a sharp breath and then he collapses into Eddie. Steve's hands on his hips slide up and pull him into a hug, as close to Steve's body as he can get, while Steve shoves his head under Eddie's chin, into the junction of his neck and shoulder and breaths him in like it's the last breath Steve will ever take. "We're so stupid."
"Yeah," Eddie agrees, as he lifts one hand to hold the back of Steve's head while the other drops to rub soothingly at his back. "Yeah, we are."
They sit in the dirt, the closest they've been since that summer between '81 and '82. They should probably talk about. They're going to have to, if they want this to work. Full sentences with no hidden meanings, even though the thought of that kind of vulnerability makes Eddie skittish. It's going to be difficult, but it'll be worth it. Steve has always been worth it.
Eddie wants to say 'I love you', just to get it out, in the open, and not just implied, but there's a different first step to take. One that's actually a little easier. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
"Me too," Steve whispers, "I'm sorry. I should have-"
"Shut up," Eddie cuts him off, voice quiet and soft as he can be. "This is, and I cannot stress it enough, a we situation."
The huff of laughter on his skin from Steve feels like the start of something. A new beginning, a start over. A re-do.
A goddamn miracle.
Later, they'll drag themselves apart and up. Make it to the back of Eddie's van in the school parking lot to talk. Going to either's house feel too much, too soon. Their big fight happened at Eddie's home, and Steve's house isn't warm enough for the kind of comfort they want to share.
They'll have a talk. Filled with long pauses, stumbling over words and fears and insecurities because this is the hard part of a relationship. Getting it all out in the open so they can learn if they'll even work. The fear that they aren't going to be compatible anymore looms but doesn't deter. They both want a second chance, to give it a real shot, by the end of that first talk. But taking it slow.
They'll discuss what went wrong the first time (diving in without talking about anything certainly played a big part) and how to avoid that.
But that's later. Right now, Eddie just holds Steve, and Steve holds him back, and it certainly feels like the beginning of something good.

It wasn't even a secret...
Eddie munson x reader
Summary: you and Eddie are married even have a new born. But thr younger hellfire members don't know?
Dustin Henderson walks into the munson trailer and hears loud music coming from Eddie's room. He approaches the room and through the crack of the door and sees a manicured hand grabbing at Eddie's bedside table only to see Eddie's not ringed hand grab it and pull it out of sight.
That's all he saw, but he got the point and left the trailer and sat in Eddie's van, which he never locked until he saw the lady exit.
But what Dustin didn't see was your wedding ring on top of Eddie's on the bedside table.
-
Months later Dustin was washing his hands in the munson bathroom when he threw the paper towel in the trash he saw a pregnancy test. It was positive. Dustin didn't mention it to Eddie or anyone thinking it was probably private.
What Dustin didn't see was how Eddie hugged you when the test came back positive as you both cried happy tears and kissed sweetly.
-
Months later Dustin and Mike approach the hellfire table and notice Eddie's not there. Weird they thought he wanted to graduate this year why would he be having time off.
"Where's Eddie?" Dustin asked setting his tray down. Gareth looks at Dustin and frowns. "What do you mean where's Eddie you know he isn't gonna be in for A few weeks." Gareth says confused.
Only then do Gareth, Doug and Jeff realise they genuinely do not know. They wasn't gonna be the ones to tell him so that's how they ended up at Eddie munson trailer skipping school.
Eddie was fast asleep an arm draped over you. He awoke suddenly to banging on the door cursing under his breath. He stands up and stretched kissing your head and peaking into the bassinet next to your side of the bed, only to see his week old daughter starring up at him with her wide brown eyes.
"Hey little lady." HE says picking her up making sure to support her head. He cradles her and heads to the door to let you sleep a bit longer. He walks into the kitchen and puts the kettle on to warm a bottle for his daughter haley. Then he walks to the front door expecting Wayne or someone.
Only to be met with a stunned Dustin and Mike. "Hello?" Eddie says confused. He let's them in as they stare at him in shock. "Whats going on guys?" Eddie asked slightly freaked out hy the look on the twos face.
"You have a baby?!" Dustin half yells.
"Dude shut the fuck up." Eddie says annoyed bouncing his daughter slightly so she doesn't cry from Dustins outburst.
"No I won't you have a baby and you didn't tell us what the fuck." Dustin half yells again.
Eddie looks between the boys with a look of confusion on his face. You walk out of your bedroom into the living room after hearing all the shouting.
"What's going on?" You ask crossing your arms over your chest. Both the teens and Eddie look at you. Your stood confused. Haley then cries and everyone looks at her.
Eddie walks over to you sliding her into your arms and she immediately stops crying as you bounce her and cradle her making soft shh noises. "Whose that's?" Mike askes Eddie's attention turning from you and haley to the two teens but you speak up. "His wife." You answer looking at the two boys
"You have a baby and a wife. How didn't we know that." Dustin says eyes wide.
"OK everyone stop, fuck me. Right. I thought you two knew but clearly you don't. This is my wife y/n who I've definitely told you about. The one I've been dating since I was like 15 and am now married to?" Eddie says waving his arms infant of you as you smile.
"OH we thought that was a cruel joke." Mike says scratching his head. Eddie looks at the boys in disbelief.
"Wow OK. This is y/n and my daughter haley who I'm gonna go with you also thought was a joke." Eddie says questionably getting nods from the boys.
"Y/n this is Dustin and Mike." Eddie says pointing at the boys rubbing his eyes.
"Hi nice to meet you?" You say still confused.
The boys says hello awkwardly.
"OK, now that's cleared up. Is that really why you came here." Eddie asks, slightly annoyed. The boys nod and explain that Gareth wouldn't tell them. You're starring at Eddie, who's clearly stressed and tired. Then, down to the little baby in your arms.
Eddie warms a baby bottle while the two teens talk to Eddie about the baby as you sit on the couch in the living room. He walks in handing you the warm bottle. "Can you feed her?" You ask quietly. But Eddie hears you.
"Yeh, yeh of course sweetheart." Eddie says sitting on the couch. You pass her to Eddie once he's sat along with her bottle kissing Eddie's cheek then haleys head before walking to your bedroom to get stuff for A shower.
"SO you like have a child." Dustin says watching Eddie feed his daughter the bottle.
"Yes and a wife." Eddie answers.
"And you've been married..." Mike says
"2 years been together for 5." Eddie says, setting the bottle by his feet, leaning back on the couch and laying the baby on his chest, gently patting her back.
"And the others knew." Dustin says as Eddie nods.
"How long are you off school?" Mike askes.
"I'm just going back to do my finals. I won't be there any other time." Eddie says as the tiny baby burps. The two nod.
Moments later you walk back in, wearing a pyjama vest and Eddie's sweats. Your stomach has shrunk since the birth of haley and it makes Eddie smile seeing you comfortable enough to wear the vest as when she was first born you wouldn't take off his hoodie.
Not that it mattered to Eddie he loved you every shape and form and you grew his baby in you. When you mentioned your insecurity to Eddie just before haley was born he comforted you and said, "either way your sexy no matter what n you've got me. If.. that helps? Probably not but you get my gist."
You sat next to Eddie and he handed you haley. "Common ill take you two home no point in going back to school." Eddie says. He too the teens to Dustin house and then came straight home.
He entered thr trailer and headed to your bedroom to see haley asleep on your shared bed and you sat up looking at her giving Eddie a smile when he entered the room. Eddie strips of everything but his boxers.
"Now give me a twirl." You says smiling at him from the bed.
He turns slowly as you clap quietly before laying on his side next to you. "SO those are two of your friends?" You say raising your brows and Eddie nods putting an arm over your waist.
Eddie looks at you then to his daughter and smiles. Taking your hand and kissing it. You lean down and kiss him on the lips.
"I love you." HE says as your foreheads touch.
"I love you too."
"I love you more."
"I love you most." You smirk kissing him again.
Yeah Eddie was a happy man. He may still be in school but he's got everything he wants Sat right on his bed. His beautiful wife and tiny daughter.
-
Months later he graduated walking off the stage hugging you nice and tight laying a sweet kiss on your lips. Wayne holding 3 month old haley who's arm where flapping for Eddie. He took her from Wayne kissing her nose as she open mouthed his cheek.
The stunned look on Jason's face to see Eddie munson holding a baby in one arm with his hair and his other arm around your waist as your hand was behind haleys head. Eddie smirked to himself kissing your head. Wayne shooting him a proud smile and nod. The others soon came running over. "Finally man thought you was gonna end up going to school with haley." Gareth says smirking at Eddie.
"Shut up Gareth." You says earning a laugh out of Eddie.
"Y/n I'm wounded." Gareth says shocked.
"You heard the lady shut up." Eddie says smirking.
Gareth rolls his eyes.
Everyone stands and talks. Eddie saying haley needs feeding so you guys have to go. In reality you had fed her before and Eddie just wanted to go home.
"I am so proud of you." You say kissing his cheek.
"Yeah? Do I get a special treat for how proud you are." Eddie smirks.
"Maybe... you'll see when haleys in bed." You say smirking at him running a hand through haleys curls.
Yeah Eddie was right. 86 was definitely his year.

I've saw that you had written something for Miguel o hara and I've been simping hard for him ever since the trailers came out. And I've been needing some male reader so if you dont think it's to much to write about Miguel being really desperate for reader and needing reader inside of him which leads to Miguel tearing his suit open for reader to use and finally use him. If this is alot then am sorry for taking up space it just that I've never seen someone write for male reader for 2099.
desperation
侀 pairing; miguel o'hara x male reader
note: no worries, i'm currently hyperfixated on miguel. this was fun to write, hope you like it! [ slightly proofread ] .
cw: bottom!miguel, breeding, sexual tension, rough & outdoor sex.
word count: 1.4k
Tumblr media
“fuck– it’s too hot in this suit,” you murmured as you grabbed hold of your mask, taking it off swiftly. you and miguel had been patrolling for the night on the outskirts of your city after being alerted by your officials. 
the way you said “fuck” made miguel’s head spin, the tension only building up even further. this whole time miguel has been fighting his own urges to make a move but was far too embarrassed in an environment like this. even if the location was miles away from the headquarters, he did not want to risk being caught by anybody. everything about you from your touseled hair to your suit hugging tightly around your shape made him flustered and tried to stay out of your gaze. 
you noticed him turn away and raised a brow, wondering if he had seen something in the distance or was simply feeling unwell. “you alright, mig?” you asked, slightly teasing him with the nickname you loved using. he let out a small huff through his mask and saw the misty cloud escape through it, as the temperature outside was a bit colder than usual but you didn’t mind. 
“yeah, don’t worry. just a bit cold,” he replied and you shrugged your shoulders, taking a seat on a nearby rock. miguel glanced over at you as you rested your elbows on your thighs, causing your suit to stretch around your arms. from all of the training you’ve had over the years, it definitely paid off, and staring at you simply made miguel’s stomach feel warm.
“y’know, this is so useless..” you grunted and he raised a brow, humming a small “hm?” under his breath. “there’s no threat. is everyone just on edge? because personally, i’d rather be home under the covers.” annoyed, you kicked a tiny pebble off to the side and slightly leaned your head back out of frustration. 
miguel’s breathing changed as he continued to watch you, not paying attention to any of the words you just said. he was focused on your breathing and how your neck flexed against your suit, your adam’s apple becoming prominent. he sat down across from you, causing you to look up at him and he seemed more tense than usual. you furrowed your eyebrows together, afraid that there was something on his mind, and refused to tell you about it.
“are you sure you’re alright?” you asked and there was a pause before he answered, “of course, what makes you think i’m not?” he spoke as if he was reading off of a script and you rolled your eyes.
“you aren’t talking much and you sound like you’re so miserable, is it that difficult to be around me?” you playfully joked and yes, it was difficult. miguel was sitting there fantasizing about you and he couldn’t do anything about his thoughts as he was trying to get ahold of himself. until it got too much and he felt a familiar tightness on the lower half of his suit, covering his lap in embarrassment. 
“no, i’m not miserable and it is not difficult to be around you. i’m just thinking about the project we’ve been working on is all,” he mumbled as he began fidgeting with his hands, causing his knuckles to brush against his boner. miguel let out a hiss, trying to cover it with a lame cough but you never thought anything of it. you got up, pacing around in front of him, trying to think of what to do for the next hour. miguel continued to watch you, his eyes examining each move you made. he felt like a pervert but couldn’t help his thoughts as you were standing right in front of him, his desperation for you only growing stronger by the minute. when you turned around, miguel got up from his seat and stood right behind you, pressing his body against your back. 
“hey, do you–” you felt something poke against you, knowing that familiar feeling. “i can’t do this anymore,” he grunted in your ear, wrapping his strong arms around your waist. you licked the top row of your teeth, watching his hand slowly trail down to your own bulge. 
“miguel..” you warned as you leaned into his touch, bucking your hips up against his hand. you moved out of his grasp and turned around to face him. 
you took off his mask for him, revealing his lustful eyes. his fangs poked through his lips and you found it adorable, grabbing a hold of his face to make him watch what you were going to do. he looked down, his eyes trailing to your hand as you rubbed your hand against his cock. miguel let out a gasp, causing him to bite down on his lip and poked himself with his own fangs. he winced but was too focused on the pleasure you were giving him. 
“so this is what got you all hot ‘n bothered, hm?” you teased, and he whined as he tried to press himself against you even further. miguel got tired of the teasing and took matters into his own hands as he pressed his lips against yours, hungrily kissing you. it caught you by surprise and you placed your hands on his shoulders, gripping tightly onto his suit. 
“please.” he whined into the kiss, his hands tampering with his own suit. you pressed on the emblem on your chest, causing your suit to disenthrall from your figure. without thinking about the consequences of his actions, miguel tore open his suit for easier access as his suit was more complicated to get out of. the sound of the fabric tearing made your eyes widen, knowing it took him so long to perfect every aspect of it. 
“¿tan desesperado estás?” you whispered against his mouth as you signaled for him to jump, pinning him against a nearby wall. 
“cállate.” he hissed, connecting your lips together once again. you took your cock in your hand, noticing the precum that was spilling out. miguel bit down on your shoulder, feeling his sharp teeth pierce through your skin, causing you to let out a loud moan. 
“fuck me already. please, stop making me wait. i’m so des– fuck!” he whined in your ear, feeling his hot breath against it. you thrust into him without any warning, forcing your cock to go in. you felt him stretch around you, a string of curses slipping out of your mouth. “you’re so tight miguel
” you grunted through your gritted teeth, finally putting all of it inside of him. 
you used one arm to stabilize yourself and the other to hold miguel, keeping him close to your body. miguel dug his claws into your back as you pounded into him, not giving him any time to adjust to you. he threw his head back against the wall and you looked at him, thinking it was such a pretty sight to see him so desperate for you. 
you quickened your pace, each thrust began to be harder and rougher. miguel’s moans filled the air as he did not care to be loud, noticing him stare off into nothing as if he was so cock drunk. you took this as encouragement, slamming into him as you felt your orgasm reaching its peak. 
miguel seemed to notice too, mumbling in your ear, “breed me
 please” as that was all that he could let out. you smiled, pressing a kiss against his temple, “good boys get what they want”. you buried your face into his neck as you came, moaning his name out loud as you made sure to pin his ass against your cock. miguel followed shortly after, gasping for air as he moaned your name over and over again. you stood there, still inside him as you wanted to make sure you filled him up. 
“you alright?” you asked with concern, looking up at him. he pressed his forehead against yours, a smirk plastered across his face. 
“of course. getting fucked by you is always the best thing
 and don’t you dare move.” he sternly ordered, wrapping his arms around your shoulders to keep himself steady. 
“i wasn’t planning to just yet. but what about your suit?” you asked and he pointed at his wrist cuff, not noticing it before.
“i made a new prototype. thought i’d test it out tonight
” he mumbled, closing up the space between you two to kiss you once again. he began to move his hips, earning a groan from you.
“you fuckin’ whore
 you do realize that there are cameras right?” you pointed up at one and he placed his hand behind your nape, pulling you closer to him.
“then let them watch.”

I've been thinking a lot about expectations this week.
A number of years ago, when I was visiting my brother, he criticized me for not doing something that he expected me to do. It was a frustrating talk because he wasn't at all willing to hear my perspective. But what bothered me the most about it was when I said "you can just ask" and he said "I shouldn't have to".
I was doing everything culturally expected of a good guest, I didn't even know what his extra expectations were, and yet he felt entitled to be mad at me for not automatically knowing them, and not living up to them.
It can be so easy for us to let our expectations get ahead of us, to make assumptions based on our own perspectives, and to then feel let down.
And I feel like I'm seeing a lot of this kind of thing in people's experience with media these days. There seems to be a clash happening between expectations and reality. And people feeling genuinely upset when the reality is not what they wanted.
I'm seeing a lot of complaints and "critiques" that seem to fall in to the category of "this is not how I personally want this to go" or "this doesn't resonate with my personal experience".
To be clear, I'm not saying this in a pointing fingers kind of way, because I have 100% done it myself.
When the trailer for Cutie Pie first came out, I got so excited imagining Kuea as some bad boy living a double life. He was going to be so hard to tame, he was going to put Lian through the wringer, and it was going to be amazing.
What I got was something very different from what I expected, and I struggled with the show.
But it was a really valuable learning moment for me. Because everything in the trailer was in the series. It was my interpretation of it, of those few minutes out of hours of material, my assumptions about the moments not yet shown, that caused me frustration.
That was a turning point in my "let's see where the journey takes us" philosophy. And I have to say, engaging in QL has been a hell of a lot more fun since I learned to let go of what I thought should happen.
I still have critiques of shows, of course I do. Nothing is above criticism. But I don't get so personally affronted now when something doesn't do what I expect. I'm more willing to see where the destination takes us before I decide the journey isn't working.
Of course I am still human, and I still get caught off guard sometimes by expectations I didn't realize I had let slip in.
But I have found my experience immeasurably improved by considering a few things when I'm watching a series:
Am I leading with curiosity, or judgment?
What is happening here culturally? What assumptions am I making based on my own background and country of origin? What happens if I step back and look at the bigger picture of how this culture engages with media? Do I even know, or do I have more to learn?
Is this actually bad... or is it just not for me? Is this just not resonating with me? Is it making me uncomfortable? What can this discomfort tell me about myself? Is it a bad show, or just a show I need to walk away from?
Am I more focused on the story I want told, and not paying enough attention to the story that the creators of the series want to tell? What assumptions am I making about their intent?
Am I only focused on what the value is for me as an individual, and not considering how this may be making other people feel seen or be meeting their needs? Can I acknowledge that there can be inherent value in things that do not give value to me personally?
There is value in critique, but there is also importance in self-reflection and understanding why we are feeling the way that we are, and when our own setting of expectations may be playing a role.
It's funny that in some ways this seems to be a reflection of what a golden age of QL we are living in - there are so many options, and time is so scarce, that I can see why people are frustrated when they feel like a show is not living up to what they wanted.
But as someone who has lived multiple decades without this kind of media, and only relatively recently having been able to experience it...there is a lot more to be gained by reveling in what you are loving than over what you are hating.

Make assumptions and get the wrong idea. Please. That's what he said.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My brain listening to Who:
Tumblr media
(on the beat of course)
Sorry for the brain porn but that's how my brain feels when I hear Jimin's vocals. The runs, the ad libs, the highs, lows, and in-betweens, the breathing, especially the breathing. Especially in the 4K version of the Tonight Show performance posted on BangtanTV.
For many years now I've been wanting to hear Jimin let 'er rip on a big song and FINALLY! FINALLY!
FINALLY!
I started to jot down my interpretations of Who but you know what? no one needs yet another analyzation of the song, the lyrics, the MV, the belt sharing, the ... but one thing I need to point out... Ryan's Vintage Clothes is definitely a nod to Ryan Gosling don't you think? (just kidding sorta)
A ton of people have given their dissertations on what they think it all means. All I know is Jimin has that MAGIC and he is FLEXING big time.
This is my favorite shot from the most recent promo image drop on Weverse. I have always dissented when Jimin would say his left side is his best side. No sir. It's your right side.
Tumblr media
The entire Muse album is a complete mind-bender for me. He came up with the ideas and themes and what he couldn't do on his own, he explained to all the people helping him in order to create his vision...
PDogg said this in an interview: "I also believe the experience of collaborating with various producers and songwriters in LA and NY gave Jimin the opportunity to further explore his limitless potential."
Minseong Kim (Performance Director): "When we were working together, I saw Jimin putting a lot of thought into delivering the song's choreography as a visual art form. He uses his detailed expressions to convey various artistic elements in the performance beyond simply presenting stylish, energetic choreography. He is always devoted to emphasizing the artistic elements of the performance by forming a visceral connection to it. I believe that his commitment and passion has shaped Jimin's unique style and allows him to deliver one of the most exciting performances in pop music."
and:
"We had countless discussions about how to visually articulate the story and message of the song through the performance on a larger scale, in a manner that's true to the song's title Who. When the choreography was completed Jimin was utterly pleased with the performance having all the elements he had wished to incorporate."
You can read the entire VMAGAZINE article here.
Regarding the other songs on the album, in MiniMoniMusic Exchange, Jimin mentioned that Rebirth was his favorite track. I do love it too, Jimin. The heartbeat, the poignancy. Perfection.
And I have to compare Be Mine to Seven. In Jungkook's Seven, the explicit version was so very literal and so in your face it was funny, even the MV added to the unserious vibe of it all.
But in Jimin's, Be Mine, he has probably the most erotic lyric I've ever heard coming out of the mouth of a Tannie: "... a hot island, a party with just the two of us; I know what you want and baby I want the same; love ‘til the morning; we just keep fallin’... baby come, baby come; show me what, show me what love is, yeah yeah; melt me hot, hot, hot quickly"
I am streaming all the versions of all the songs and album. I absolutely love it.
Now that I got that out of my system...
It's been about a year (??!?!?) since Jungkook's Only Fans debut live stream. Time is flying.
Tumblr media
We are anticipating gaining more context soon surrounding exactly what went down between them the prior two weeks to this live and what did Jimin mean when he said he "can handle it? (Are you sure you wanna know?)
There is a high possibility we might get some jikook carpool karaoke.
The main trailer drops Monday. Hold on to your ... whatever it is you hold on to when you get shook because I'm sure it'll be another earthquake on the timeline.

gonna be honest, feeling very conflicted about this episode, lads. i've been really hoping Protocol won't explain away the (NARRATIVELY IMPORTANT) mystery left at the end of Archives, i.e. Jon and Martin's fate, so seeing as they're the next thing Sam and Celia are gonna be investigating, this is kinda gonna be the thing that makes or breaks Protocol, for me.
i do think there's a solid chance Chester and Norris are the Jon and Martin from Protocol's universe, and that is something i absolutely would not mind. but i haven't actually made a post explaining why i think that, and i should probably do that before it's explained, just so i can mayyyybe say i called it.
(for the record, i'm pretty sure i came up with most of this before the series even officially dropped, when all we had was the ARG and the trailer. i haven't done much to connect this theory to the further information we've learned, so it's probably not fully accurate (if accurate at all). and quite a bit of it is kinda baseless conjecture; i'm just throwing my thoughts out there. just a little disclaimer.)
so!
in Archives, Jonah's primary motivation is fear of death. turning to the Eye is what allows him to body-hop as he does for 200 years, trying to create a world where his Patron reigns supreme, where he is seated upon its throne and cannot die. assuming his motivation is the same in Protocol, this new universe is (likely until recently) untouched by the Entities. if Jonah wanted to evade death, how could he do that without the help of an eldritch fear god?
easy—alchemy.
Tumblr media
i'm not particularly knowledgeable about the subject as a whole, but i'm certainly familiar with the Philosopher's Stone (the symbol of which is also present in the OIAR's/podcast's logo, though it seems the OIAR is more focused on balance than on experimentation).
i also know that the seven metals used in alchemy (gold, silver, mercury, copper, lead, iron, and tin) are all components of computer chips. i've been thinking Jonah, or maybe his successors, saw that and began turning their research to how it could be utilized to extend—or preserve—life.
to cut to the chase, bc frankly it's hard trying to sound like i know what i'm talking about and this post would take forever to write otherwise, i think Jonah tried to Sergei Ushanka himself into a computer, because metal and plastic are a hell of a lot longer-lasting than a human being.
but he wouldn't shove his consciousness into some random motherboard without making sure it was safe, what do you take him for?? he is a man of academia. obviously he had to test it on others first, and then he'd do it himself.
cue the thought experiments the Institute ran on kids. the things the experiments quantify are empathy and obedience to authority, which to me screams that they were trying to find kids who were easy to manipulate into more dangerous experiments.
and who are two characters who were kids in the 90s, with circumstances that left them lonely, isolated, and who, even as adults, are desperate to please (whether a parent or a bad boss)? Jon and Martin.
i posit that Jon and Martin were both victims of these experiments, perhaps the first (and only) successful subjects, and Jonah uploaded his consciousness to the computer soon after. their records could have been stricken from the spreadsheet to hide that they'd even been part of the program, and given the Institute burned down soon after, and there were no survivors—it could have been assumed that they'd died in the fire. it isn't like they had the most doting guardians to worry over them.
...but Chester and Norris's voices are those of adult Jon and Martin.
best i can figure, Jonah's plan might have worked in the short term, but computers have had date/time hardware in them since the 80s, so they—and Augustus—are still aging. so they've been trapped in computer software since 1999, and now that Sam and Celia are digging into what happened, they're desperate to catch their attention and find a way out.
(and lastly, a fun little thought—given Jon and Martin were both born circa 1987, they would have been twelve in 1999. they didn't even get to be teenagers.)

Snippets from shinobi602, cut for length.
Comment made after the character trailer, before the gameplay reveal:
"I know I sound like a broken record at this point but I'd really wait for the gameplay footage before writing it off. I agree that the tone of the trailer isn't how I would have personally revealed the game lol. But it's definitely a mature story...(with classic DA humor of course) I think people will come around when they see it in motion." [source]
Comment made before the gameplay reveal:
"I just got a sneak peak at the gameplay being shown on Tuesday. A small sample, but enough to get a good taste. It feels like a much better Inquisition to me. Absolutely not Fortnite or Overwatch." [source]
Comment made before the gameplay reveal:
User: "Maybe this gameplay showcase is going to show us all the character creator options, the RPG mechanics and skill trees, the expansive dialogue choices you can make, the minute to minute gameplay and how the world works." Shinobi: "You won't get all of that. But it's a solid chunk. This is just the first step in a long several months ahead. They have to save stuff for more beats down the road too or else you run out of gas lol." [source]
Comment made before the gameplay reveal:
User: "Very excited to see a glimpse into that for the gameplay reveal, hoping the game's beginning is as memorable as the other entries" Shinobi: "It is a massive boost in quality for the series. I'm not talking art style or anything, but just in terms of sheer quality and technical fidelity. Really hard to keep my tongue bitten lol, but I'm excited to see what everyone thinks tomorrow." [source]
Comment made after the gameplay reveal was teased:
"Yup, that's what it looks like, but there's so much more goodness. Looks amazing imo." [source]
Comment made before the gameplay reveal:
"it feels like the ME2 of Dragon Age." [source]
Comment made before the gameplay reveal:
"Oh just wait. The hair tech is phenomenal in this. Even I was thinking "aye is this a Bioware game!?" lol." [source]
Comment made before the gameplay reveal:
"They look different but to be honest the more you see them, the more you get used to it. I love the way Harding looks now. It's more stylized, but also a huge boost in technical fidelity in Frostbite." [source]
Comment made after the gameplay reveal, before the press who saw the demos at SGF shared about what they saw:
"Pretty much every person I've talked to across a dozen different media outlets, ~95%'ish, has walked out of the private demo sessions with glowing praise." [source]
-
"I don't mean there aren't any open ended areas to explore. But it's a tight game, with a focus on not wasting the player's time with bloat. They took a lot of that feedback from Inquisition." [source] [re: the game not being open world in design]
-
One preview from a large outlet basically boils down to 'Bioware is back'. [source]
-
"I'm optimistic. From conversations I've had, they are genuinely serious in trying to make a Bioware classic here. They do not want a repeat of Andromeda or Anthem. I can only go based off what I've heard obviously - haven't played it. We all have our opinions on the combat, but they learned a lot of hard lessons since Inquisition, taken a lot of feedback to heart, and want this to feel like that tight, structured high quality experience we used to get from them. Andromeda and Anthem came in hot at launch. I felt some warning signs before those came out, but here? Right now they're just polishing. It's all polish from here to release. I'm really hoping this is the start of their return to form. That team's been through a lot, I hope it works out for the best." [source]
-
User: "I think there certainly is a decent contingent of legitimate dissatisfaction or concern around the game, but I'm not sure that that's an overwhelming segment, but I do think it's something BioWare in EA should not and cannot ignore." Shinobi: "They've definitely taken notice. There's a lot more to show between now and launch." [source]
-
"One thing I'm particularly happy about and can't get over is how much better the hair rendering is. It might be a small thing to some but it looks incredible. It's in another stratosphere compared to DAI." [source]
-
"Everyone in the previews was gushing about how robust the CC is in Veilguard so there might be a decent chance to make some wild Qunari designs." [source]
On the Next Mass Effect:
"ME will look very, very good. Don't worry." [source]

Hello OFMD Tumblr thingie, and all the amazing people who are out there, and especially the ones who've been making all the posts that have made me so happy over the last few months. 💖💖💖 First and most importantly, thank you, thank you, thank you, to anyone who sees this!
This is my first post to Tumblr (probably pretty obvious from my huge lack of Tumblr sophistication! And the length of this post...) If you don't count reblogging things that I wanted to be able to find again. I've braved up to comment thank you to people a couple of times, but that's been it so far. I must admit it all looks a bit scary from this side of the glass, even though I can also see how friendly people mostly are.
But OFMD fandom is big! And you've been here a long time! I loved Series 1 when I watched it, and knew I wanted to watch out for Series 2, but it wasn't until I re-watched it when the Series 2 trailer came out on BBC iPlayer that I fell veeeery in love with it! And by then you were already here, and there was a language and debates about things I'd barely even noticed, and it's mostly me staring with big eyes thinking wow, and sometimes huh? and... well, you know. Plus there's trying to work out Tumblr, which I definitely haven't actually managed to do yet, and possibly never will, so... I decided to just jump in and post summat. Even just rambling, which is a bit of a specialty of mine... I mean - what's the worst that can happen, right? 😬
So... how come now? Well, I can't make art or gorgeous screenshots or gifs. I do write, but I'm still hanging out to get the right voices in my keyboard... I know them when I hear them, but you've gotta get the right rhythm going, and I'm not quite there yet, I don't think. Although really, I should probably just sit down and try (and stop waiting for work to shut up and give me time - I should be a pirate and take it!)
Anyway (told you about the rambling...) what I'm mostly doing apart from rewatching the eps on a constant loop is reading the fic. I'm picking it according to kudos on AO3, and according to recs that I see on Tumblr, and it's occured to me that alot of the stories I'm loving must have been recced looong ago, and that newbies like me totally missed them, and so maybe I could do my own recs, even if they are of older stories, and someone might find them useful. You know, if I work out how anyone else might ever see my posts. 😁 And if people aren't put off by my probably age-revealing use of emojis. (But I am entirely age-appropriate for Ed and Stede, and if I had to look up what zaddy meant too, well, that just means I matched Rhys Darby's expression in the bts, right? đŸ€š)
So it's not much, but I'd like to contribute even just a tiny bit to OFMD fandom in return for everything it gives me, so... yeah. That's my plan. I'll start in a bit, but this post is probably already too long since it's just rambling. And kind of dull. I should probably have said tl:dr at the top, shouldn't I, but then maybe anyone who actually saw this wouldn't, so... See, I kind of live in hope. 😊
Okay. Tags next, right? ... ack ... why won't it let me create new tags instead of just using ones from the drop down...? Well, those will have to do for now... maybe someone who sees this will have mercy and tell me how? I'll just be over here being a slight failure at Tumblr... And if you've made it this far (how long is an acceptable post over here?! Not this long, I don't think...) - thank you hugely for just that, and may your dreams be OFMD and joyous!

My Little Secret
Tumblr media
Pairing: Eddie Munson x Reader
Warnings: Teenage pregnancy, use of Y/N
Summary: You're scared to tell Eddie you're pregnant.
*Not Proof Read*
Note: Eddie and reader are the same age. Pretend he wasn't held back. Whole thing with Chrissy hasn't happened. Doesn't specify gender.
Stranger Things Masterlist
*****
Well this is perfect.
I stare down at the little while bar in my hands. Two thin likes stare back, mocking my mixed emotions.
What the fuck am I going to do? I shouldn't have let things go so far at Steve's party. I knew the fucking risk. How could this happen? I didn't think this would happen. What am I going to do?
What am I going to tell Eddie?
He doesn't want a kid...not now anyway. Fuck, this messes up everything. We can't afford a baby. How are we going to take care of it?
I begin to pace in the cramped bathroom. With every moment that passes, the room begins to feel more and more cramped, claustrophobic.
A thumping sound bounces off the walls from outside. Eddie's home.
Eddie's van shuts off with one last whine, the door shutting shortly after. I hear the keys jingle as he tries to open the front door of his trailer. " Babe? Ya here? "
I don't respond. I quickly grab the box the pregnancy came in and hide it at the bottom of the garbage can. I need to figure something out. I can't tell Eddie.
A knock breaks me out of my thoughts. I turn on the water, quickly washing my hands, hoping to relieve some of the nerves.
" Y/N? Why didn't you answer, babe. I thought you were still at work or something. " Eddie asks. " You feelin' okay? "
I swing open the door, pulling a smile onto my face. " Yeah, perfect. Just...lost in thought. " I push past Eddie, doing my best to act normal.
I'll figure this out. I have to.
Eddie raises an eyebrow, not completely believing me. " Okay...Do you want to watch a movie? I can order a pizza. " He offers, trailing after me.
I walk around the counter, picking my worn jacket and backpack up. " I actually, have to head out. My mom um needs help with the yard. " I lie.
A look of confusion flashes on Eddie's face. " Oh, okay...maybe another time? "
I nod stiffly. " Of course, Eds. You know how much I love our movie nights. "
I head towards the door.
" Do you want a ride? It's getting a little cold out. " Eddie offers, pulling on his jacket.
I shake my head. " I'm fine. A little fresh air never hurt anyone. " I attempt to joke.
I just need to get out of here. I feel like I'm suffocating.
Eddie looks unsure. " Are you sure? I really don't mind driving you. I don't want you to get hurt. "
" Eddie, I'm fine. " I insist. " It's only a few blocks away. Nothing is going to happen to me. "
Eddie follows me to the door. " Okay, okay. Just...call me when you get home, yeah? Just so I feel better. "
" Of course. " I pat his arm instead of our usual goodbye kiss. I don't hesitate to step outside. The chilly wind sends a shiver through my body, but I quickly ignore it. I need some time to think. I can't do that if Eddie's talking to me the entire ride home. Plus he'll see my mom's not home.
I feel Eddie's gaze follow me down the street, obviously worried about me. As soon as I turn the corner I feel a sigh of relief escape my lips.
I will be okay. I have to be.
______
I've been avoiding Eddie. I feel like he knows. Like he can read me. He hasn't said anything, but the more I'm with him the more tempted I am to tell him. I'm scared. I don't know how to do this. I haven't even told my mom.
Fuck, she'd kill me. She's warned me about this ever since I started dating Eddie years ago. Why didn't I listen?
All it takes is one time, she'd insist. One time.
She'd never let me forget this. I can already see the look of disappointment on her face. She already doesn't like Eddie. Knowing he's the father would definitely make things worse.
" Okay, what's going on with you. "
Eddie's voice asks sternly as he slides into an empty chair next to me.
The library is empty except for the older librarian shelving books in the corner. Everyone's gone home for the day, leaving the room absolutely quiet.
I raise my eyes to meet Eddie's concerned ones. " What? " I ask in surprise, not expecting him to be here. I thought he had a meeting right now.
" Why have you been avoiding me? " He asks. Desperation peaks through his steady voice. " What did I do? " He reaches to grab my pencil clad hand.
I tense slightly. " Nothing. You didn't do anything, Eddie. " I mutter, looking down at my science home work.
" Then why won't you look at me? You've blown me off all week, what's going on? Please, just tell me what I did and how I can fix it. I miss you. " His tone is genuine. Worry is laced through his features.
I clench my jaw, sadness clustering in my throat. " Eddie, I swear, you didn't do anything wrong. I've just been...busy. I have a lot of tests coming up. " Not a lie. The amount of tests this week on top of the news of the baby has been stressing me out. I hardly have time to sleep, I spend most of my time studying and stressing over what to do.
Eddie scans my face for a sign of a lie. " Look, I don't think I believe that's all. When you're ready to talk about it, you know where to find me. " Eddie pulls his hand away from mine, the warmth of his skin quickly being replaced by the the cold air. He stands up, ready to leave.
" Eddie..." I start, unsure what to say.
Eddie turns back to me, hope in his eyes. He waits for me to say something.
I don't.
" I'm sorry. " I whisper.
Eddie nods, turning back around. " I'm sorry too. For whatever I did. " With that he leaves. His steady footsteps disappear into the hallway. His expression burns into my mind. Sadness, slight frustration.
I didn't mean to make him feel this way. I just don't know what to do.
With a sigh I glance down at my stomach. I haven't begun to show yet, thankfully. I have no idea what I'm going to do when I start. I can only wear baggy clothing for so long. It's getting harder and harder to hide the morning sickness. With only one bathroom, my mom's bound to find out sometime.
I'm so scared.
______
A loud knock pulls me from the laundry. I leave my spot on the couch. Rain pounds on the front glass windows, blocking my view from outside.
Who the hell would be out here in weather like this?
I open the door, fully ready to tell the person to fuck off.
I'm met with the sight of a drenched Eddie. His eyebrows twisted in anger and frustration. He's soaked from head to door, water pooling at the bottom of his sneakers. In his hand is a familiar pink box, bold lettering smudged from the water.
The test.
" I can explain- " I begin, my heart pounding in fear.
He found it.
" Why the hell didn't you tell me. " Eddie cuts me off, his fist tightly around the now squished box. Water's soaked through the thin cardboard, turning it to near mush. He pushes past me, into the quiet house.
" Eddie...I...I'm so sorry. " Tears sting the back of my eyes. " I...I don't know what to say. "
Eddie's anger seems to twist into frustration. " Why didn't you tell me, y/n. " He repeats.
" I was scared. " I close the door, leaning against it for support. All the harbored stress and fear comes barreling out. My fluctuating hormones feed the fire, making everything fucking worse. " How did you find it? "
I know how he found it. I should've hid it fucking better.
" I was taking out the trash when I heard a rattle. I figured you might have dropped something in it and I pulled it out. That's beside the point, Y/N. You kept this from me. When were you planning of fucking telling me? " Eddie's voice is still strong with frustration as he paces around the hall.
" I was going to- " I begin.
" When?! You don't talk to me anymore, when the fuck were you going to tell me? I shouldn't have to find out like this. "
He's right. I should have told him.
Eddie's eyes snap towards me. His expression seems to soften when he realizes I'm crying. " Fuck. " He breathes out, putting his fingers tightly on the bridge of his nose. He takes a deep breath, trying to calm down. " I'm sorry. " He says slightly calmer. " I shouldn't have yelled at you. Fuck, I'm a horrible person. Who the fuck screams at their pregnant partner? " He clenches his jaw in frustration.
" No. " I shake my head, trying to push past my emotions. " You're not at fault here. I should've told you. You deserved to know. " I take a breath. " I was a coward. Eddie...I was scared of what would happen. To us, to the baby...with my mom. I was scared you wouldn't want the baby....wouldn't want me. "
Eddie's eyes open to look at me. " You were scared of me? Of us? Y/N, what did you think I was going to do? I love you, fuck you're the first person I've ever loved this much. " He admits. He takes a step towards me. Dripping strands of hair frame the sides of his face. " You couldn't do anything to make me stop loving you. I will always be there for you, no matter what. You didn't get pregnant alone, Y/N. In case you forgot, it takes two to make a baby. I'm as responsible for the baby as you are. You didn't need to keep this to yourself. "
I don't say anything.
He's right. Deep down I knew he'd still be there for me. I guess I was just afraid of what would happen if I wasn't right.
Eddie grabs my hand. " I love you and I love this baby. Nothing will ever stop that. I hate that you felt alone this entire time. That you where scared of what I would do. I never wanted you to feel like that. I'm so fucking sorry, Y/N. "
I hug him tightly, not caring about the water soaking in my pj's. " I'm sorry for not telling you. I...I shouldn't have doubted you. "
Eddie hugs me back. " We need to talk about this. "
" Yeah. " I nod, pulling my head away from his warm chest. " We do. "
--------
Eddie finishes drying the ends of his curly hair before speaking. " What should we do. "
" I have no idea. " I sigh. " My mom's going to kill me. " I begin to feel tears well in the back of my eyes. " She'll throw me out, I fucking know it. "
Eddie pulls me into his side. " Hey, hey. It's going to be okay. No matter what, I'll be right by your side when she finds out. We'll tell her together. You can...you can live with me. "
I shake my head. " I can't do that, Eddie. I can't do that to Wayne. He already sleeps on the couch. I don't want him to have to deal with a crying baby at all hours of the night. That's not fair to him. "
" Then we'll find a place to be together. I'm not letting you go homeless, Y/N. I'll-I'll get another job. The diner on Corner street is hiring. I can find a place for us before the baby...and Mrs. Thomas is selling her daughters' old crib, I'm sure she'll sell it to us for a decent price! I can sell my guitar and-"
" Eddie...no. " I put my hand on his arm. " That guitar means everything to you. You can't sell it. Plus, we're still in school. How the hell are you going to manage 2 jobs and school? "
Eddie's expression is serious. " YOU mean everything to me. This baby....it means everything to me. I'll do whatever I have to so you and this baby have a safe place to live. I can get my GED. We'll be okay. " Eddie's thumb traces circles on my thigh, an attempt to calm me down.
I know the argument is useless. Once he makes up his mind, it's set. " Don't do anything yet. We don't know what's going to happen. Let's just take this one day at a time. "
Eddie nods. " When are you going to tell your mom? "
" Tomorrow. I'll tell her tomorrow. " She's going to find out some day, and I'd rather it be from me.
Tomorrow it is.

[Following on from talking about Kim Manners for a while]
Mark: He was just an amazing guy -
Jared: The best.
Mark: He was something else. And look, I've worked with a lot of people, and I've known you since you were a lot younger.
Jared: Hey! Same! Same!
Mark: A lot younger. And the truth is, to - it sounds so corny [mocking voice] 'Oh, this show is a family'. Look, this is a place where we went to work with 150 of our friends for over, y'know, a decade and a half. I did nearly a decade of it. And I think the energy that he instilled upon how to behave on a set was absolutely the reason why anybody could walk on that show and be treated like gold. [Jared nods as he's talking] You could succeed if you came with your A game, you were looked after and you were carried. And if you were crap? You were looked after and you were carried. I swear to God I have seen this, couple people that didn't - I won't ever say what it is, but didn't make it beyond a certain small amount of an arc, they just didn't have the right thing or didn't get it or whatever.
Jared: Yeah, the right attitude. We even had people that recurred and returned, who maybe they weren't as solid of an actor as a Mark Sheppard or a Mark Pellegrino type, but they were good enough and they were kind. And they showed up and they wanted to work and they wanted to laugh and they knew their lines and hit their marks and they showed up on time and there was no bullshit. It was like, okay, we can work with this. And so let's keep on going -
Mark: There was a trust element that was mind-blowing, and I've worked on some amazing sets in my time, but it was special, man. To know that every single person in that crew had my back every single day.
Jared: Amen.
Mark: When we did the end of season 8, when you and I were doing hours [Jared says something here I can't make out] and hours and hours of this stuff. That group, right, so in between shots, right? In between shots, you've gotta move lights, you've gotta move cameras, you've gotta do stuff. And they don't have to be quiet. They're working all day, they've been there three hours before us, they're leaving three hours after us -
Jared: And it was a long trek, it was like an hour away from town. On some, like, beautiful lake that Phil Sgriccia -
Mark: Oh, on the outside when we did - but when we went to the stage, when we came back to do the interiors?
Jared: Yes, yes.
Mark: And we did the interiors in there, they didn't make a sound between takes for two days. Because the boys are being serious, we'll support 'em. And that's how we got through those pages and pages of stuff. Jensen -
Jared: It was a couple of - two or three days or something.
Mark: It was two or three days -
Jared: And then Jensen and Alaina come in.
Mark: It was nuts. It was so - but we, like, you see all the gag reels, right? You see how silly everything gets? The reason why the gag reels are fun is cause we work hard, so one mistake -
Jared: [?] you're done, never forget. I will say this, a lot of y'all know Mark and have known him many times or met him many times, and a lot of y'all know, can agree with me, he doesn't shut the fuck up. Ever.
Mark: [Mark holds his hands up and nods] I talked my way through six heart attacks, trust me.
Jared: Other than the two or three day span where we were in that chapel. And it was so - it was before the AKF campaigns, it was - what Sam was going through, in a very different way, was similar to what Jared kinda had gone through and was going through? And so I went to a weird place, it's the only time in my 480 episodes of television I've ever listened to music during - in between scenes? And Mark is tied up, you know, you're my Marley moose and all that bit? And like, usually when you're tied up during a scene, they call cut and they move the cameras, it takes twenty minutes and you go like, untie me, I'm going to my trailer to pee and have some water? He just stayed there and was quiet the whole time, because I just sat there in the corner, he was just there for me, so kudos to you, Mark Sheppard.
Mark: And kudos to Jensen. Jensen was off-camera for a day and a half. Off-camera, in character, for a day and a half. It's - you suddenly realize that everybody's got your back and it's just the greatest feeling in the world. When you're trying to do - there's never enough time, there's never enough money, there's never enough ability to make the best that you can make of it, you know? We're all trying, but when you know everybody is trying to make the best possible thing for you guys [gestures to audience] that we can make, with all our hearts, with everything that we care about? It's just a fantastic experience. And what I love about, I was talking about the gag reels, what I love about the gag reels is you're seeing the antidote to that.
Jared: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mark: So when Jensen for the first time in his entire history can't get a line out of his mouth, which is I'd rather be smacked during sex by a girl with a Zorro mask -
Jared: He kept messing it up!
Mark: He messed it one time, and you killed him.
Jared: Oh for sure. For sure.
Mark: We have thirty eight takes of that. He never messed a line up in -
Jared: Worth it. He kept on removing a word or adding a word and I was like [frustrated voice] that's not the word! But it was good. Anyways. Great time, great family, let's get some questions.

Tumblr media
“You staying in the car?” Billy asked gruffly. 
 Steve looked at him from the passenger seat with that little soft smile. Smirk, more like it. Billy was more than familiar with that look. It was the look Steve always gave him whenever Billy requested something of him, Steve knew what he wanted him to say, and yet, he was about to say the exact opposite. Billy preemptively groaned inwardly
 Sure enough, Steve hummed in that light, airy tone of his, “No, that’s okay. I’ll come in with you.”
 Billy rolled his eyes, but knew it was pointless trying to argue with him. Steve loved for his boyfriend to boss him around in the bedroom, but when it came to scenarios that were less
sexual, Steve much preferred to make his own decisions and did. 
 Billy swung himself out of the camaro and rounded the front. He opened the passenger side door, extending his hand to his pretty boy in the seat, who had been waiting for just that. 
 “Alright, c’mon, princess,” Billy gave him an extremely brief and obviously fake smile, to which Steve just laughed, and took his hand, climbing delicately out of the lower seat. 
 Billy closed the car door after his lanky boyfriend and stepped in front of him, still reaching backwards to keep Steve’s hand intertwined with his, leading him towards the entrance of the trailer sitting in front of them. It was dark, but the park was dimly lit, and the trailer itself had warm light shining from the windows. 
 Billy marched them both up the steps of the trailer and rapped sharply on the door. He could feel Steve standing one step below him, but pressed against his back, keeping close as always. He almost smiled at the thought.    Just as he was about to raise his hand to knock again, the door flew open. Eddie Munson stood on the other side, hand on the door knob, and gestured them in with a weird mix between a bow and a curtsy. He greeted Billy with his signature jester-like smirk and an unsurprised, “Hargrove.”
 Only when Billy stepped forward to come in, guiding Steve along with him, did Munson even seem to notice Billy wasn’t alone. He made an exaggerated expression of surprise, pressing his hand over his chest, “It couldn’t be!” Eddie gasped dramatically. “Steve Harrington? Thee King Steve is standing in my living room?” He swept his arm out wide in another odd bow of sorts and reached for Steve’s unoccupied hand, taking it in his own and inclining his forehead towards the brunette. 
 Billy’s boyfriend just blinked down at the metalhead, whose hand was encircling his fingers as if Steve were the belle of the ball, and
wait, was Steve blushing? Billy gritted his teeth, “Munson
” The word came out lower than Billy had even intended it to; his voice held an obvious warning.
 Eddie dropped Steve’s hand and stood up straight, even held his hands up in a gesture of peace, but his smirk told Billy that he really wasn’t fazed in the slightest. Fucker.
 “So,” Munson said, clapping his hands together, “what can I do for you boys?”
 “Need some weed,” Billy told him, and if he was still gripping Steve’s hand possessively, well, that was his own business. “For both of us.”
 “No problem,” Eddie held up a finger in a “one moment” gesture and ducked down a hallway, probably to his bedroom. He returned a few seconds later, holding that metal lunchbox he carried around school all the time. He flopped down on the couch and gestured for Billy and Steve to sit as he undid the box’s clasp. Billy opted to remain standing, arms crossed over his chest, but Steve perched delicately on the arm of the couch, peering curiously in Eddie’s box, with his hand wrapped gently around Billy’s inner thigh. Not sexually, but more in a way of keeping him near. Billy smiled inwardly at the thought.
 “Right,” Eddie finished rifling through his stash and produced a plastic baggie, decently full. “Half ounce should last you long enough. Let’s say
$40?”
 Billy cleared his throat, “About that. Look, I won’t get paid for another week, but Steve and I really need it now. We were hoping you’d wanna front, just the once?” 
Billy wasn’t one for begging, was hardly even one for asking nicely, but Steve had, in fact begged him, with those annoyingly irresistible puppy eyes, no less, to get them some. He’d even offered to pay for it himself, but Billy had refused that, too. Forced Steve to leave his wallet at home even. Billy might be a massive asshole, but to Steve exclusively, he’d resolved to be a gentleman
at least, as much as possible. Over his dead body would his pretty boy be paying for Billy’s drugs, even if Steve was partaking as well.
Eddie was shaking his head though, “Nope, sorry, I don’t do any type of loans, or transactions where you ‘owe’ me. S’not that I don’t trust you, though
” he waved his hand dismissively as if chasing away the implication that he, in fact, did not trust them, “just not how I roll. Gotta pay up front, or it’s no deal.” He snapped his box shut with a metallic clunk.
Billy sighed, and Steve tugged on his arm, giving him the biggest puppy dog eyes imaginable, “Please, I really need some nowwww.” Billy sighed again.
“C’mon, Munson, really?” He gestured helplessly towards Steve, who was now directing his big sad-eyed gaze at Eddie.
“Aww, looks like your Stevie needs his drugs bad,” Eddie cooed before returning to his normal voice. “Sorry boys. I don’t front, not even to Hawkins royalty.” He directed a two-fingered salute and a smirk towards Steve, another nod to “King Steve,” of course. “Although
” Eddie pondered aloud, pausing and grinning wickedly as his tone dripped with insinuation, “I do accept alternative forms of payment.”
Billy’s eyes widened and then narrowed, like he couldn’t believe what he’d just heard, but also, he was pissed about it. Steve put his hand on Billy’s forearm though, and Billy felt the surge of anger melt away to mild annoyance, and a little bit of surprise at the metalhead’s audacity. “No. Not gonna happen,” he scoffed, rolling his eyes.
Steve tugged on his arm though, and forced him to lean down so he could whisper, lips brushing gently on his ear, “Please, please, Bills. I really want his weed, and also
” Steve hesitated as if he wasn’t sure continuing was a good idea or not. “Also, he’s not ugly,” he finally decided. 
Billy glared at him sideways. He definitely wasn’t thrilled about that admission, but he knew Steve loved him, and he couldn’t even pretend to be mad when Steve looked like that, eyes like a baby deer, and god, he was blushing. Billy loved when Steve got all flustered. He clenched his jaw, and gritted out, “Fine, what is it that you want, Munson?”
Eddie’s eyebrows raised in surprise, probably surprise that Billy hadn’t just punched him on the spot, but Eddie stood anyway— he seemed taller now somehow to Billy— and took a step towards the blond, who held his ground. Eddie was staring him down, but Billy didn’t get flustered easily. He stared back, but to his credit, Eddie didn’t seem fazed either. Actually, he seemed fucking amused. He wasn’t smiling, not even a smirk, but there was some kind of twinkle in his brown eyes that got on Billy’s nerves. “What I want,” Eddie said slowly, emphasizing the “t” in want so hard that Billy blinked, “is for you to drop the fucking attitude.”
Billy’s brain glitched.
Steve’s jaw dropped. He looked back and forth between his boyfriend and Eddie, a clear expression of “oh-my-god-Billy’s-gonna-kill-him” written all over his pretty face.
Eddie kept his eyes locked on Billy’s, staring him down, making it really fucking clear exactly who was in charge here.
And Billy?
Well, Billy was still absolutely dumbfounded. He blinked hard, trying to clear the fog that had settled around his brain since Eddie had opened his mouth. It didn’t clear much, just enough to make him aware of the pressure now building below his beltline. He swallowed hard, frowning, and opened his mouth to tell Munson, that no one, repeat, no one, bossed him around like that, but Eddie tilted his chin up further before Billy could even begin to get the words out.
“Ah, ah,” Eddie tutted, looking down his nose at the blond who was now very slightly shrinking before him. “I know you weren’t about to argue with me, Billy, now were you?”
Billy wanted to shrug, feign indifference, act entirely unaffected. Though secretly he was thinking that Steve was a little bit right about one thing. Munson wasn’t ugly. And if he was honest with himself, letting the metalhead boss him around wasn’t the worst thing in the world. In fact, his dick seemed to like the idea a little more than Billy himself was comfortable with, and he was worried it was starting to show. His power stance might’ve wavered just slightly.
With Steve, Billy was always the one in charge. That’s just the way they both liked it
but. But maybe he’d also enjoy
not being in charge for once? Steve had seen the soft sides of him before, and he’d trust his Stevie with his life, and yet
the fucking wild stallion that was his stubbornness bucked at the idea of Steve seeing him as anything other than in charge. 
But–
But Steve wanted the weed badly.
But Munson wasn’t that ugly.
But Steve was okay with this, and Billy’s own dick was more than okay with this.
And Eddie was staring him down, still waiting for his response. Waiting for him to deny that he’d had the urge to fucking argue. Waiting for him to
submit?
Yep, he’d bet the money he didn’t have that that’s exactly what Eddie was waiting for him to do. He’d also bet that it had something to do with his own popularity bowing to the freak’s
obvious lack of that. He wanted to tell him to fuck off, wanted to growl at him to find somebody else to get off to, but.
But his legs had decided differently, apparently. Or more accurately, his fucking knees.
The next thing Billy knew, he was kneeling, sitting back on his heels, in the middle of Munson’s living room. He blinked, cause when the hell had he made the decision to do that? Fuck it, it happened. Mortified and probably beet red, but determined not to show it, he forced himself to look up at the freak, who looked shocked for a second, looked at Steve, who was still perched on the edge of the couch, and then, looking back at the boy knelt for him, stepped forward so that Billy was properly at his feet. 
Billy waited— for what, he wasn’t sure exactly. Munson looked like he was about to let out one of those signature obnoxious victory cries, probably to further humiliate him, but instead, Eddie just grinned wickedly. As Billy watched, he raised his ring-clad hand to rest briefly on top of the head of golden curls before forcing it down so that Billy was staring down at his own denim-wrapped thighs. 
Fuck. Munson wanted his head bowed too? The clear show of dominance would’ve made his cock kick in his jeans if it’d had the room to move even the slightest. As it was, he felt like it was being restricted, strangled even, and he hated the desperation it gave away. Billy wanted so badly to press the heel of his hand to the tent in his jeans, to readjust, anything really. But he had the feeling that wouldn’t go over well with the lanky metalhead towering over him.
Billy felt like he was vibrating out of his skin, fighting for air trying to anticipate Munson’s next move. But Eddie just stepped back a bit, and Billy could just barely see him gesturing towards Steve out of his periphery. He looked up just barely and watched as Eddie looked at Steve, raising his eyebrows and flicking his gaze and his hand down towards the floor where Billy was kneeling. Billy hurriedly looked back to his thighs, because apparently, he gave a shit whether or not Eddie found him in the position he’d just placed him in.
He heard Eddie snap his fingers once, and within seconds, Billy felt an arm brush his shoulder as his Stevie knelt delicately beside him. He nudged Billy’s shoulder, and Billy chanced a look at him. His brown doe-eyes were relaxed and happy; he nodded, and the tiny reassuring smile on his face was enough to make Billy feel like he could breathe again. 
It’s okay. Steve’s okay. This is okay
 to feel.
Billy returned Steve’s nod and exhaled the breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding in. Steve smiled at him again, satisfied that he wasn’t silently freaking out, and bowed his head, resting in the same position that Eddie had placed Billy in a minute ago. The same position that Billy usually liked Steve to assume when he knelt for him. 
Steve’s comfort and familiarity with the position was evident in his limbs. He looked soft and relaxed. Pliant. Maybe not as pliant as he usually looked, Billy thought. That was reserved for Billy, and Billy alone. But comfortable enough that Billy would bet that Munson could sense their usual dynamic— if he hadn’t already picked up on it from how on guard Billy was when it came to people interacting with Steve. 
Munson stepped back forward, standing in front of them equally, and ran a hand through each of their hair. 
“Mm,” he hummed thoughtfully, tugging slightly, tilting Billy’s head up first, then Steve’s. He turned their heads gently one at a time, inspecting their faces as if they were newly acquired toys. “Such pretty boys,” Billy nearly bristled at his own phrase coming out of Eddie’s mouth, “and who knew such royalty could kneel like this? For little ol’ me? I’m blushing.”
But he wasn’t blushing, at all. 
If anything, he snarled the words, still with that smug-ass smirk that normally would’ve made Billy want to punch him, given any other scenario. His grip tightened on their hair, and Billy suppressed a groan at the sudden pleasure-pain that bloomed through his scalp. He might’ve knelt on his own accord, sort of, but he wasn’t about to truly give in that easily. Contrary to the tiny wet patch that darkened the crotch of his jeans, Billy wasn’t that fucking easy. He wasn’t.
Steve, however, was always beautifully reactive, especially to having his hair pulled. Billy knew this, and yet still, he almost choked at the sound that escaped Steve’s throat. The prettiest type of moan, light and airy almost, and so perfectly Steve.
Eddie clearly appreciated the sound as well. He chuckled darkly, drawling, “Steve Harrington. Why am I not surprised you like having your hair pulled? I always knew you were a little slut.” His gaze fell back on Billy. “See, Hargrove? Harrington here knows what he’s doing. I want you to let me hear you, got it?”
Billy nodded.
All he got in return was an eyebrow raise and a stern “answer me.”
“Yes,” Billy rasped, his throat dry.
“Yes, sir,” Eddie corrected him, with no room for argument in his tone. 
Billy shook his head. He could kneel, he could moan, but that phrase— it made his skin crawl with memories he’d rather forget. He was worried that Munson would insist, but Eddie seemed to sense that this wasn’t just Billy being defiant. He looked down at him, as Billy pleaded with his eyes. I can’t say that, I can’t say that, I can’t—
“Yes, Eddie, then. That work for you, Hargrove?” His words sounded casual, but something in his eyes was softer, like he was concerned. But, thank god, he didn’t press the issue.
Billy nodded, thanking him mentally, “Yes, Eddie.”
Munson nodded tersely, satisfied. “And for you, Harrington?”
Steve straightened just a bit, “Yes, sir?”
Munson smirked, his air of dominance returning, “Good boy. C’mere.” He motioned him forward to where he’d stepped back to give Billy space, and Steve obediently shuffled forward on his knees until his nose was just inches away from brushing against Eddie’s waistline. Billy saw Steve’s tongue dart out to wet his lips, and by his reaction, Eddie hadn’t missed it either.
“You like what you see, Stevie?” he chuckled, and Billy watched as his boyfriend leaned forward and nuzzled the bulge that tented the front of Eddie’s jeans. Billy’s breath caught in his throat. He’d been in Eddie’s position with Steve more times than he could count, and yet whenever he found himself there, he felt that same surge of protectiveness, possessiveness too, over and over again. 
But this was different. He wasn’t in Munson’s position. He should feel jealous, angry probably, and in any other situation, he probably would’ve. He would’ve pulled Steve behind him, cussed Munson (or whoever) out, and then kicked their ass just for good measure. But knowing they’d all agreed to this beforehand was making him see Steve with another man as
fucking hot.
And Steve’s whisper echoed in his mind, he’s not ugly. 
No, he’s not. Billy’s traitorous brain agreed again.
Suddenly, Billy could pinpoint this feeling that was washing over him, this urge to do something. This urge to join Steve, not to pull him away. 
Again, Billy’s body acted on its own accord, just as it had knelt before, and a whine escaped Billy’s throat. 
Billy himself was just as shocked as Steve and Eddie, who both halted their movements and turned to look at the source of the noise. Munson’s left hand stopped carding through Steve’s hair and extended towards Billy, his other hand still resting on Steve’s shoulder as if to keep him in place.
“Aw, baby,” Eddie teased. “Are you feeling left out?”
Billy nodded, blushing furiously, and mentally cursing himself for showing
weakness? No, longing. Billy Hargrove didn’t need shit, and he certainly didn’t long for anything.
But–but Eddie wasn’t scolding him, wasn’t making fun of him— not in a mean way anyway— wasn’t upset that his moment with Steve had been interrupted. In fact, he seemed pleased to hear something out of Billy.
“C’mere then, sweetheart,” Eddie’s fingers fluttered, urging him forward, but definitely letting him choose whether or not to close the gap between them. “I’m sure Stevie would be happy to share with you.”
Billy forced his knees to walk him forward, until he was once again right next to Steve, who turned to brush his nose against Billy’s cheek, a simple gesture of affection. One that clearly said, It’s okay. I love you. Do this with me.
Billy settled a bit at Steve’s reassurance, and allowed Eddie to run his ring-clad fingers through his hair, purring, “That’sa boy.” When he didn’t tense up at the touch, Munson seemed to take that as the okay to continue once more. His fingers tightened in the golden curls, and he gently forced Billy’s head to tip back until those blue eyes looked up at him expectantly.
Eddie smirked at the open look that must’ve been on his face, “You wanna take ‘em off?” he gestured towards the handcuff belt clasped around his waist, and Billy did. He wanted to so badly all of the sudden. Fucking Munson and his stupid tattoos that were definitely making him harder to resist. 
Billy nodded in response, and the metalhead cocked his stupid eyebrow, waiting. 
Oh, that’s right, Billy remembered. Out loud, he said, “Yes, Eddie.”
Eddie nodded once, smiling like Billy had said the secret password that made him open his legs, and gestured again, “Go ahead then, baby.”
Baby.
Billy’s mind was reeling a little at that. He was a lot of things, but he was rarely ever “baby.” Even to Steve. Mostly because, between the two of them, Steve was undeniably “baby.” But hearing the word drip from Eddie’s lips, he couldn’t help the pleasant tingle up his spine as he reached forward to obey.
The metal was cool against his hands as he flicked the latch to unfasten the belt. It clinked as it fell open, bouncing against Eddie’s thighs as he started on the button of his jeans. They flicked open easily, and when he looked up, Munson gave him another nod, so he tugged the denim down his thighs until the only thing keeping his cock from smacking Billy’s face was a pair of tenting plaid boxers. He tugged those down too after exactly 0.5 seconds of hesitation, and Eddie’s length sprang free.
Fuck. It was
bigger than he expected. By a lot. Shit, it really is always the fucking skinny-ass dudes that are packing. He shook off his brief stupor and prayed that Eddie didn’t catch him drooling as he dragged the fabric down to Munson’s ankles for him to step out of. He kicked it to the side and yanked his shirt off too, those fucking tattoos now on full display.
Billy swallowed hard, but he might have let out a whimper if the wicked grin on Eddie’s face was anything to go by. With a hand each laced into Billy and Steve’s hair, he dragged them both face first towards his crotch, chuckling deeply, “Let’s see what you boys got.”
His musk was overwhelming at first, but Billy couldn’t help but want more of it, instantly burying his nose into the coarse patch of hair right next to his cock. It was Steve that moaned immediately on getting his mouth on the target velvety skin. He lapped at the tip, eager for a taste of the salty bead gathering over and over again at Eddie’s slit. It was exactly what he did for Billy when allowed to. Steve loved sucking cock, and Billy had always considered himself lucky for it, but watching his partner lap up another man’s pre-cum was
really doing it for him.
Billy might’ve whined again, shuffling forward even more so that Eddie’s foot was in between his parted knees, his cock straining against the denim of his jeans. He ached to let it out, to let it rub up against Munson’s shin, anything to relieve the pressure, to gain a little much-needed friction.
But Eddie hadn’t allowed it yet.
So he parted his lips to let his tongue dangle out and dragged it along the underside of Eddie’s cock, right along that thick, sensitive vein in the middle. 
“Fuck,” Eddie moaned, and Billy instantly wanted to hear more of it. Steve, ceding to Billy as always, ducked down and angled his head to suck at Eddie’s balls, giving Billy free reign to be the cause of that sound again. 
 Eddie let out a strangled choking noise as Billy took him fully in his mouth. He wrapped his fist around the base, just as he liked for Steve to do for him (and he did for Steve), squeezing slightly, and the man above him groaned in response. Billy pulled off and spat, spreading it over the surface, before shoving him back in, and in reward, fingers scratched against his scalp.
 “Christ, Hargrove,” Munson’s head was thrown back in pleasure. “That’s it, baby. Justtt like that.”
 Steve moaned at the sound of the pleasure his boyfriend was giving away and licked a strip up Eddie’s ballsack, earning himself some attention. “Mm, Stevie— good boy, honey. C’mere,” he commanded, his fingers beckoning. Steve pulled off and shuffled forward, not wholly sure what he wanted from him, placing his chin in Eddie’s waiting hand. 
 Billy kept his steady up and down rhythm, but watched as Eddie pushed Steve’s hair back from his face almost
lovingly? and dropped his hand to the collar of Steve’s clothes. He tugged gently, murmuring, “Off with it.” 
 “Yes sir,” Steve scrambled to obey his quiet demand. He yanked his shirt off and his shoes too. His jeans followed until Billy’s pretty boy was in nothing but his underwear.
 Eddie pulled Billy off his dick by his hair and turned him fully to watch as he said to Steve with a predatory grin, “Lose those too, Harrington.”
 Steve’s eyes flicked to Billy for a second, as if double, triple-checking that Billy was still okay with it. Billy gave him a tiny nod, all that Eddie’s grip would allow, and he swore he saw Steve suppressing a tiny smile as he wiggled out of the fabric. Steve’s dick stood at attention as he looked expectantly up at Eddie, awaiting further instructions.
 “Perfect,” Eddie praised him, and Steve preened under his gaze. “Your turn now, baby. Everything off while your pretty boyfriend sucks my cock for you.”
 Billy groaned out a feeble “Yes, Eddie” as he watched Steve take him in his mouth. Billy shucked off his shirt and boots, listening to the obscene, yet familiar, sound of Steve taking cock down his throat. By the time Billy sat back to tug off his skin tight jeans, Steve was gagging around Munson, his nose pressed into that dark patch of hair that Billy’d found so alluring. 
 Eddie threw his head back with a loud groan as Steve probably pulled one of those mind-blowingly good moves with his tongue that never failed to make Billy’s nuts seize up. He pulled Steve off of his cock by the roots of his ruffled hair and stepped backwards with a breathy, incredulous laugh, “Jesus, Stevie. Who taught you how to suck cock like that?” He made his way to the couch, leaving Billy’s pretty boy on his knees, and plopped down as dramatically as if Steve himself had pushed him.
 Billy couldn’t help it. He snorted and then failed to wipe the subsequent smirk off his face fast enough. Munson’s eyes flicked to where he still knelt on the floor.
 “That funny to you, Hargrove?”
 “Yes, Eddie.”
 “Huh. Well, tell you what. Down that hallway–” he tipped his head onto the back of the couch, eyes closed, and gestured off to Billy’s left “–there’s a bottle of lube on the bedside table. Be a good boy, and fetch it for me, hm?”
 Billy’s cheeks flushed at that last sentence. Much as Steve’s always did when Billy collared and leashed him. He’d never admit it, but he saw the appeal. He fucking got it. That particular phrasing Munson had used on him, like he was a dog
 he got it now. It was like the burning in his cheeks went straight to his cock, which kicked like Eddie had tied a string to it and pulled. Thank God his eyes were still closed, waiting for Billy’s response.
 “Yes, Eddie,” he began standing when Munson opened his eyes and called for Steve as Billy made his way down the hall into what he assumed was Eddie’s bedroom. He heard Eddie pat his thigh and tell Steve to straddle him, and Billy knew Steve had done just that when he heard them both groan softly.
 The room was entirely a mess, shit everywhere, like someone (a tornado) had gone digging through a dresser. But Billy was uninterested. The bottle of lube sat on the table by the bed, and he snatched it, before heading back down the hall. 
Immediately, he was met with the sight of Steve in Eddie’s lap, back hunching, as he ground his length against Eddie’s. Those ring-covered hands sat lightly on the skin above Steve’s pale hip bones, stabilizing him as Steve panted, open-mouthed, their sticky foreheads almost touching as he stared down to where their cocks met.
 Billy went to bite back a moan as he reentered the room, but remembering Munson’s order from before, he allowed himself the noise. Eddie looked up from watching Steve grind on him with a cocky grin, licking his lips before gesturing for Billy to come stand behind Steve. 
 All it took was Billy’s touch on his boyfriend’s shoulders for Steve to groan “Billy–” and lean back until his cool, sweaty back was pressed against Billy’s front. He tipped his head back to find Billy with the biggest bambi eyes, the kind he got when he was begging Billy to let him come, “Look– fuck– so close alreadyy,” he whined out, gasping.
 Billy’s hands went automatically to Steve’s chest, fingers immediately finding and toying with his boy’s pebbled nipples, if only to hear him moan louder. His hands pawed at Billy’s forearms as Billy hummed in answer to Steve’s babbling, “Oh, I know, baby. I see, poor, sweet thing. So hard for Eddie an’ me, aren’t ya? Tell him, baby. Ask nicely now.”
 “Eddie,” he hiccuped, hips still bucking, constantly seeking his dealer’s touch, “Sir, getting close! Please, I need–”
 “Hargrove’s cock?” Munson suggested. Steve moaned his agreement instantly, and Billy’s cock concurred, probably leaving a wet smear down Steve’s back even as Munson’s grip on his hips tightened, restricting Steve’s movement and successfully gaining the brunette’s attention back. “How’s this, sweetheart? Hargove’s gonna kneel and open you up nice and pretty. And then, he’s gonna fuck you, and you’re gonna finish sucking me off, m’kay?”
 Steve nodded frantically, earnestly, “Yes, sir, yes, please.”
 “Good boy,” Munson smiled at him, probably just as unable to resist that gaze as Billy was, and gently bumped Steve’s jawline with the back of two fingers– tender, but so quick that Steve didn’t even have the time to lean into him. “Now, baby, you got that lube, right?” Billy nodded. “So perfect for me, Billy,” Eddie snapped his fingers once, pointing down, and Billy dropped to his knees instantly, his chest now about level with Steve’s pretty ass. 
 Munson opened his legs a little further, forcing the boy on his lap to spread a bit for Billy. He pursed his lips and blew cool air gently onto Steve’s winking hole, eliciting a quiet whimper from him. Eddie shushed him gently and pulled him forward, granting Billy even better access and also simultaneously distracting Steve with kisses pressed to his jaw and neck. Billy snapped open the lube as his pretty boy writhed happily in Eddie’s lap and drizzled a good amount onto his fingers. He murmured, “Gonna be cold, baby,” and began circling Steve’s rim, even as the boy wriggled impatiently.
 Steve hissed at the coolness of the gel, but recovered quickly, hips swiveling as if trying to capture Billy’s finger where he wanted it most. At the first press against his entrance, Steve let out a loud moan, eyes closed, his head dropping down towards his chest. This was apparently unacceptable to Eddie, who grabbed Steve’s jaw and lightly shook once, until Steve’s eyes blinked back open, still hazy with pleasure. “Eyes on me, baby,” Eddie commanded. “I wanna watch your face as he opens you up.”
 “Yes, sir,” Steve panted, already out of breath just from Billy’s single touch. Billy pushed his finger in up to the knuckle, and Steve keened, keeping eye contact with Eddie as requested, even as his mouth fell open.
 “That’s it, Hargrove. Give our Stevie what he wants now,” Munson said. Billy took that as a demand to finish prepping him and began to move his finger until Steve’s body relaxed enough for him to add another, and then a third. By the time Billy had three fingers buried in Steve, his pretty boy was almost in tears. Billy could hear it in his voice when he begged Eddie, “Please? Ready now– Want it
 please.”
 “Good boy, baby. Ready to let me watch you take Hargrove’s cock up that pretty ass of yours?” Eddie punctuated his question with a slap to the pretty ass in question, and Steve gasped out a wet “Yes, sir.”
 Munson smiled that wicked grin again, but took Steve’s hands with a surprising gentleness. “Alright then, I want you kneeling between my legs, so I can fuck your face while Billy fucks your ass, good?”
 Steve nodded eagerly, and Eddie helped him into position, before leaning back into the couch cushions, smirking, “Okay, Hargrove. Time to impress us,” waving his hand in a “please proceed” gesture that made Billy want to roll his eyes before thinking better of it. 
 Billy turned his attention back to Steve, and for a moment, as he rested his forehead on Steve’s shoulder and his hands on Steve’s waist, it was just them two. The moment was grounding, and any remaining nerves that might’ve been lingering melted away. One hand dragged up Steve’s torso and came to rest on the delicate skin in between his shoulder blades. Billy pressed forward, bending him over slightly, and Eddie groaned as Steve breath brushed over his cock. Steve went willingly, even arching his back to give Billy better access, and Billy’s cock jumped at the sight of his glistening entrance.
 Steve’s hips bucked slightly in anticipation as Billy flicked open the cap on the lube and slicked Steve and himself up. His thumb spread Steve open even more as he lined up and began to press in slowly, giving his boy plenty of time to adjust.
 That didn’t stop Steve from gasping out “God, Billy!” even though Billy was less than halfway in. Eddie cradled Steve’s face in his hands as he panted, soothing him and murmuring, “That’s a good boy, baby. Look at you taking him so well, hm?” 
Billy was willing to bet there were tears in Steve’s eyes, if not already spilling down his cheeks, and Eddie waited until Billy was fully inside of him before guiding Steve’s head down toward his aching and swollen dick. He pressed his thumb down gently on Steve’s lower lip until his mouth dropped open, and Eddie slipped himself inside. Steve had always done well with something in his mouth to occupy him, so Billy wasn’t surprised when he immediately began to suck and moan around Munson’s length.
Munson looked at Billy over Steve and smirked, “Let’s see what you got, Hargrove.”
Billy obeyed instantly. Something about another man telling him how to fuck his own boyfriend shouldn’t have been doing what it was doing to him, but then again, really Steve shouldn’t be sucking off Billy’s dealer, and Billy found that hot too, so it was probably too late for redemption. At Billy’s first thrust, Steve choked around Eddie, who moaned, head dropping backwards. Billy pulled back and thrusted again, forcing Steve further onto Munson’s cock. A steady rhythm caused a cacophony of obscene noises from both Steve and Eddie. If Steve was any less good with his mouth, Billy might’ve been concerned with how much he was gagging around Eddie, but if there was anything Steve could do better than anyone Billy had ever met, it was suck cock, and Eddie seemed to love every contraction of Steve’s throat around him.
As Steve began to get tighter around Billy and closer to his own completion, Billy wondered if he’d have to revert to his old trick of naming basketball players in his head to prevent himself from busting a nut too soon. As if Steve himself wasn't enough to make Billy come (he was), this entire scene had Billy hurtling towards the edge faster than he had during puberty.
Billy gritted his teeth and screwed his eyes shut as he pumped into Steve’s wet heat. Someone was moaning and grunting, and he realized it was himself. Eddie’s eyes bored into him with surprising clarity, considering Steve was practically fucking his own mouth on Munson’s dick, “Hargrove, you better not fucking come until I say. Understand me?”
Billy groaned because holy fuck, that tone was not helping him hold off his orgasm, but he forced himself to choke out “Yes. Eddie.”
“That’s right, baby. You like being told what to do, I know. You’re lucky I’m even letting you come with that attitude you had with me earlier. Showing up at my door, demanding shit from me. Who’s demanding shit now, hm?”
Billy thought he was just taunting him, demeaning him, but Munson stared at him until he said, “You, Eddie.”
“Mmm, good, baby,” Eddie was thrusting his hips up into Steve’s mouth now, timing it with Billy’s own hips pounding into Steve from behind. “Always knew you could be tamed, Hargrove. Should’ve known it’d have to be me to do it.”
Steve screwed up tight around Billy at Eddie’s words, and Billy knew it was the casual dominance that was getting to him, and he’d be lying if he said it wasn’t affecting him the same way. He was certain now he’d have to come soon, like within the next couple minutes, and he was determined to get Steve there first. He angled himself just right, finding Steve’s prostate in the first few thrusts. Steve jerked violently, and Billy couldn't help but smirk, despite his own disheveled state. The reaction he got from hitting his boy’s prostate was one of his favorite things in the world. Even Eddie groaned, running his fingers through Steve’s hair as Steve bore down, aimed at getting Eddie off, like now.
Several more thrusts and Steve started trembling, high pitched moans escaping around Eddie’s cock. 
“Eddie,” Billy panted, “he’s getting close.” 
Eddie pulled on Steve’s hair just enough to look him in the eyes. He spoke to Billy though when he said “Me too. Can he come untouched?”
Steve’s eyes rolled back, probably over being talked about like he wasn’t even there, and Billy nodded, “He can. And will,” he panted through the effort of keeping his rhythm steady, “if I keep nailing his prostate.”
Eddie nodded, “Do it. Once he makes me come, he can, and once he comes, I’ll let you.”
“Yes, Eddie,” Billy looked down at Steve’s sweaty back and messy hair and focused on hitting that precise spot that made Steve shake. Steve doubled down too, taking Eddie deep and pumping him with his hand. 
Eddie let out an “Oh, fuck” at Steve’s efforts. “That’s right, baby. You’re gonna make me– I’m gonna come down King Steve’s throat, shit. Just like that, Stevie.” His hips bucked wildly, and his rhythm began to falter. Steve moaned around him, and Eddie pushed his head down and shuddered with a deep groan, spilling into his mouth. Steve whined and eagerly swallowed down everything Munson had to give him as big, hot tears rolled down his cheeks.
Eddie stilled, breathing hard still, wiped the tears from Steve’s cheeks, and asked him, “You ready to come now, sweet thing?” Steve nodded and sobbed in relief, “Yes, sir.”
Eddie nodded at Billy, who picked back up from where he’d slowed down to watch Munson come in his boy’s mouth. Within half a minute, Steve was already blubbering and begging to come, his mouth finally not occupied. Steve was usually loud in bed, but he must've really been desperate now, because Billy had hardly ever seen him so frantic. 
Maybe out of habit, Steve looked over his shoulder, and directed his question towards Billy, crying “Please, daddy— I needa,” he gasped for air, “I need to come now, can I? Please?”
Billy grabbed his face and kissed him for being such a good boy, but nodded at Eddie, “You know who to ask, baby.”
Eddie watched their interaction almost in awe, and when Steve looked at him with tearful, pleading eyes, he caved instantly, “Yes, sweetheart, you’ve done so well. Come for Billy and me now.”
Steve obeyed instantly, falling forward into Eddie's lap and painting the front of his couch with white. Billy groaned as he watched his baby fall apart on his cock, and it was everything he could do to stop himself from coming right that second. Luckily, he didn’t have to wait long before Eddie looked at him with dark eyes.
“Your turn, baby. Come now, Billy.”
Something overwhelmed Billy in that moment, whether it was Steve still trembling on him, or Eddie saying his name like that, or both. He thrusted deep into Steve and shattered, one or both of their names falling off his lips. He collapsed onto Steve’s back, pressing his face into Steve’s skin, suddenly utterly exhausted.
“Such good boys,” Eddie whispered to them both, like he was afraid of startling them. “You both did so good for me. I guess, you’ve earned a reward then,” he sighed, satisfied. 
Eddie let them sit for a minute to come down from their highs and then murmured, “Come sit up here on the couch,” patting the cushion next to him. Billy’s legs felt wobbly, but he managed to get himself and Steve up off the floor and onto the couch. Once they were settled more or less, Eddie said, “Be right back,” and disappeared down the hallway.
Billy looked down at Steve laying on his chest, eyes closed, but he wasn’t asleep. At least, not yet anyway. Billy pushed the usually-perfect hair off his boy’s forehead and placed a soft kiss where it had been. Steve's lips quirked up in a soft smile, and Billy sighed into Steve’s hair.
Before long, Eddie waltzed back into the room, cleaned up and wearing just his boxers. He grabbed his lunch box from where he’d left it and sat next to them on the couch. He handed Billy a warm washcloth. “Can’t let you go home sticky, not after that.” He smiled a genuine smile this time, not the mischievous smirk Billy’d seen before.
“Thanks,” Billy muttered. He cleaned Steve off and then himself, not sure if he was feeling comfortable or not, considering he and Steve were still butt-ass naked in Munson’s living room. When he was finished, he handed Steve his clothes and got dressed as well. While they were doing so, Eddie had portioned a more than generous amount of weed out for them. More than Billy was hoping for in the first place.
He handed it over with a simple “You earned it.” Billy nodded his thanks and pocketed the plastic baggie. He grabbed Steve’s hand and turned to go.
“Bye, Eddie,” Steve said softly as Billy led him to the door.
“See ya around, Stevie.”

Sektor and Sub-Zero's relationship in MK1 Part 3. What Can We Conclude So Far?
Someone asked me what I thought of the Sektor trailer the day it came out, and since the Sektor trailer revealed a little more than we already knew about her affection for Bi-Han, I decided to do a third breakdown on it.
Tumblr media
To begin with, I don't believe that Sektor is being manipulated, is obeying out of duty, has been brainwashed by Bi-Han, sees Bi-Han as a father and so on.
I don't believe in these theories.
Sektor is doing everything because she wants to, because it suits her purposes. And most likely, she is the real mastermind behind the entire Lin Kuei evolution process. And no, I don't think she's manipulating Bi-Han. She is simply guiding him to achieve the dreams he shared with her (as stated in her own bio). Like, they are partners.
According to her bio — which basically serves to help you understand the character's motivations and what led them to engage in mortal kombat — Sektor is Bi-Han's kindred spirit.
Tumblr media
As I've stated in other posts, a kindred spirit means this:
"Kindred spirits are like-minded and like-souled people with whom an instant connection of love and understanding is mutually experienced," clinical psychologist Carla Marie Manly, Ph.D., tells mbg. "The connection is inimitable and often defies verbal description."
People who share common interests, values, or worldviews might be described as kindred spirits. "In more spiritual words, we could say that they resonate at the same frequency, and there is matching energy between them," Katherine Bihlmeier, a relationship coach specializing in energy work, tells mbg.
And this is the AI's answer:
"Sense a kindred spirit" means to recognize someone as having similar interests, opinions, or feelings to you. For example, you might say "He sensed a kindred spirit and reached out to her".
Some other signs that you've found a kindred spirit include:
Common interests: You may share the same hobbies, opinions, or values.
Immediate connection: You tend to recognize each other quickly and form an immediate connection.
Strong bond: Kindred spirits tend to form strong bonds with each other that often transcend time and distance.
The earliest known use of the noun "kindred spirit" is in the early 1700s, in the writing of Isaac Watts, an Independent minister and writer.
The meaning is broad and can be applied to any type of intimate relationship where those involved have a strong (and unbreakable) bond and share common interests (without judgment, both understand and respect each other). We already know that Sektor is not related to Bi-Han (Sektor's mother is Madam Bo, a former Lin Kuei warrior leader, and her father is a respected retired Lin Kuei master armorer. While Bi-Han's mother was an excellent fighter who died a long time ago, and Bi-Han's father is the deceased Grandmaster), which leaves it to an intimate connection that arose based on a friendship (remembering that kindred spirit also implies that it was an instant connection, so it's unlikely that they have been friends since childhood) or a romantic relationship.
Before Sektor's bio was revealed, I was inclined to believe it was just a friendship based on common interests, but since nrs usually uses "kindred spirit" as a kind of love term

And Bi-Han as a pround (no one bests a Lin Kuei ~Subzero mk1) and lonely leader of an ancient warrior clan (a real clan, a group of close-knit and interrelated families. They grow the clan by having children among themselves, not by kidnapping children from the streets as in previous timelines) who made Sektor (previously just a master armorer and a skilled warrior) his second in command (even before his brother Kuai Liang and his adopted brother Tomas abandoned him, as Kuai Liang himself subtly says in the story mode

Like, why would the daughter of a master armorer and her apprentice be a major impediment to the second and third in line of succession? We already know why. Because Bi-Han made Sektor his lieutenant as soon as he took over as Grandmaster and Cyrax for being associated with both (Bi-Han, the grandmaster who believed in her and she trusted him, and Sektor her commander and ruthless instructor) ended up becoming a sort of third in command of the Lin Kuei.
), I'm inclined to believe in the second hypothesis.

She sounds really close to him

She doesn't even call him Grandmaster

Even though she respects him as Grandmaster.

She'll rescue him and humiliate herself so that Liu Kang can restore him (she may not get on her knees, but just the fact that she asks Liu Kang to restore him, knowing that she shares Bi-Han's contempt for Liu Kang, I'm sure that resorting to Liu Kang was humiliating for her)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since the Sub-Zero ending, we already know that Bi-Han admires her a lot and shares everything with her

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She's more than the second in command of the Lin Kuei. Much more

What are the real chances of there being nothing more than friendship? I mean

I wish I had a friend like that!
Let's be real, Sektor is his ride-or-die girl.
