I'm opening up the Brittle Universes for trick or treating asks this year (2024) with the exception of Fellswap Brittle/Beeper.

If you want to ring anyone's buzzer, you can find them in their specific world. Each person can go to one house in total. It's encouraged that you draw whoever's showing up, so a blank base doesn't have to be used, but it's not mandatory.

If multiple characters are on the same bullet point, they will be in the same area on Halloween.

#10 for the Harringrove ask! What is one of your favorite Harringrove fanworks of all time? (fanfic, fanart, fanvids, meta, etc.) It can be your own works or anyone you like :)

Oh there are so many to choose from. This fandom is full of talented people, and I hope that never changes. I'm a little biased about this because when I first started shipping Billy & Steve I asked a friend IRL to send me her favorites. That first half dozen or so of fics I read are still my favorites today lol and some of their authors I would swear by, they're just always that good. They are: lymricks, Pondermoniums, and harringroveheart.

Seventh Inning Stretch by jill_ian on A03 is one series I have to shout out because it's my most reread according to A03. It does the rivals to lovers part of Harringrove so damn well. I love how they capture the characters and their romantic arc just feels so real, you could call down to the dorm and one of them would pick up. Plus it's a baseball au so *chefs kiss*. I'm not sure if the author has a tumblr otherwise I'd tag, but there you have it.

**Author tumblr was found @keroujack

[bigdumbbambieyes]

Everything lymricks writes is like a kiss on the forehead from god

@lymricks - please enjoy this sweet little message from an admirer!!

thank you for spreading the love, anon!!

i’m inviting people to give shout-outs to their favourite fic writers, send me an ask (anon or not)!

[redbelles]

13, 21, and 33 for the fanfic writer asks!

13. who is your least favorite character to write for? why?

i tend not to write much fic about characters i don't enjoy writing, but on the occasions that i've had to bring in mike wheeler, malyen orestev, and poe dameron, i have not had fun*!

mike because he's stupid and boring, mal because i straight up can't stand that asshole, and poe because tros absolutely ruined his character for me

*unless it's of the spite-based variety. am i talking about mal? i'm talking about mal.

21. tell me about another writer(s) who you admire? what is it about them that you admire?

@lymricks has an incredible knack for all the things i look for in a story— prose, pacing, emotion, sense of place, etc. i reread dried up, half full and in waves on the regular, because holy shit!!!! they're so good it makes me ache!!!

@littlelindentree peels characters apart like onions and then slow roasts them until they're caramelized and perfect and you spend the rest of your time in fandom searching in vain for that same delicious thoroughness and perhaps this metaphor is falling apart but i have loved her cooking since way back when in fnl fandom on lj and i will never ever be over it

big_pink taught me more about non-linear narratives and complex plot payoff than several theory and craft books in college

@pheebebuffy murders me on the regular with the way she tackles emotions in general and catharsis in particular!!! she pretty much single-handedly dragged me back into gilmore girls fandom in the year of our lord 2022!!! i am so feral for her every iteration of jess mariano i low key high key wanna die about it!!!!

33. what’s the biggest compliment you’ve gotten?

i've gotten some really incredible feedback on both my fic and my original writing, but. this one. this one takes the cake:

send me some fic writer asks!

✧･ﾟ: * July 2022 Harringrove Starter Pack *:･ﾟ✧

Thank you to Harringrove fans for coming together and creating this amazing fic starter pack and to our endlessly talented creators for giving us so much to choose from! Forty-one votes were cast and across the 119 nominations, the number of votes received by the fics overall amounted to 397 (!!!!). The chosen fics had a combined total of 126 votes. The doc with the list of nominees will stay active in case you want to check out the rest. 

Here are the 14 fics chosen by Harringrove fans as the best place to start for those looking to dabble in the community (you can also see these fics in the ao3 collection) - in alphabetical order:

◢ Billy Hargrove Needs a Nap - lilpeas [74,312; E]

It’s one thing to be a light sleeper in this shitty town that won’t shut up at night, but it’s another thing entirely to fall asleep on Steve Harrington’s shoulder during last period English.

◢ break (like waves) - @witchsickness​ [93,187; E]

‘We’re good together,’ Harrington says to the darkness above. Not a question. Matter of fact. He turns to Billy, a smile sweet enough to make Billy want to do something reckless. Something stupid. ‘I’m telling you, heartbreaker. We’re gonna be unstoppable.’

Billy wants to ask. If he means tomorrow. If he means just for the game.

Wants to ask if he means forever.

He’s never wanted anyone to mean forever before.

or; falling (in love), the hard way

◢ break up with your girlfriend (’cause i’m bored) - @the-copperkid [15,604; E]

@umissedconnections: Bambi eyes. m4m. i was rippin cigs in the sae p-lot. u made urself puke 2 make room 4 more beer. incredible? ur my hero PLS say ur into guys

* Steve finds he has a secret admirer who's continuously hitting on him via his university's Missed Connections Twitter account. // Tommy and Billy are the worst roommates ever.

◢ Cherry - @lazybakerart [58,061; E]

They’ve got ten minutes before Steve’s break is up and he has to go back to wishing for death with a smile.

◢ cherry pie - @brawlite and @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger [133,828; E]

Billy Hargrove lives for summer. Endless sunshine, heavily chlorinated pools, roaming ice cream trucks, and unencumbered freedom? There’s nothing better.

Even being stuck in Hawkins can’t ruin the summer for him. He eats it up, devouring every day whole.

◢ dried up, half full - @lymricks​ [60,016; E]

Steve’s been coming out here searching for a monster in the woods. He’s finally found one.

“What do you want, Hargrove?”

◢ falling for you in hawkins, indi-fucking-ana (series) - @lazybakerart​ [294,822+; E]

Billy gets his shit together. Steve figures some stuff out. They fall in love.

◢ in waves - @lymricks​ [45,095; M]

It’s March and it’s too cold for Billy to be shirtless and wearing shorts, but he hadn’t noticed until Harrington appeared and made him hold still. Harrington can’t seem to stop looking at the bruises. “What’s it to you if I miss a little school, Harrington?” Billy asks. He feels goosebumps rising on his skin.

“I don’t know,” Harrington snaps back, looking uncomfortable. He shifts his weight from one foot to the other. Plant your feet, Billy wants to scream at him. I’m going to bowl you over.

◢ Incident at Castle Byers - @flippyspoon [3,639; G]

Will learns something about Billy Hargrove and feels a little less alone.

◢ Under the Covers - @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger​ [87,788; M]

Steve is (maybe) a little bit still in love with Nancy Wheeler and (maybe) trying to figure himself out-- between the night terrors and the babysitting and the general weirdness that is Hawkins, Indiana-- before he graduates.

Billy Hargrove fits in there somewhere (probably).

◢ when the bones are good - @un-buttoned​ [28,411; E]

‘So,’ Tommy says around a mouthful of fries, ‘what the fuck is the deal with you and Hargrove?’

And that’s really the goddamn question, isn’t it?

He wants to know Billy. Wants to know why he is the way he is. Wants to be able to figure out what the fuck he’s thinking when he looks at Steve like that, when he touches him like it doesn’t mean shit and like it means everything all at once. Wants to know why he talks so much shit, why he needs to fight, where all that fire comes from. Why he’s so volatile, why he’s such an asshole, how he can be so fucking mean and so fucking sweet in the span of seconds, at the same time, even.

◢ you’ll lose the blues in chicago (series) - @lymricks​ [101,188; E]

Steve takes a second to feel relieved it's not Dustin getting all sorts of arrested in places he shouldn’t be, then he goes back to staring.

It's Billy, who looks as good now as he did the last time Steve saw him: three years ago. He looks just as complicated, too. He’s got bruises on his face, a split lip.

The officer clears her throat, slowly, awkwardly, and Steve realizes they’ve been staring at each other for a while, now. He imagines, for a moment, saying that he doesn’t know this person, this stranger, pretending that Billy Hargrove was someone he used to know and kind of remembers, but--no, he’s not willing to sign for him, or whatever. To vouch for him. “Mr. Harrington?” the officer prompts.

Steve runs a hand through his hair. “Steve,” he corrects, a little absently. “Yeah, I’ll--yeah. Do you have a form, or something?”

Three years later, Steve Harrington signs Billy Hargrove out of a police station. This, it turns out, is only the beginning.

◢ you’re cold (and i burn) - @keroujack​ [55,919; E]

Move on. Let it heal.

Maybe that’s why Steve said yes when Max asked him to help move boxes out of Billy’s room after the dust settled. He could hear her voice. Too many. Too heavy.

Just like his wounds. His grief. Too many. Too heavy.

(Or, Steve steals the glass ashtray from Billy's bedside table and things start to go bump in the night.)

◢ Yourself or Someone Like You (series) - halfempty [792,802; E]

Maxine looked happy as they parted from Steve and walked down Main Street away from the theater. She slid into the passenger seat of Billy’s car. 'That was really fun,' she said. She looked at him like a gremlin and then smiled real cutesy. 'Did you and Steve hold hands in the popcorn?'

'I hope you had a real good time, I’m going to kill you in your sleep tonight,' Billy told her.

Fan art for the fic and you may ask yourself from the absolutely wonderful you'll lose the blues in Chicago series by @lymricks. I couldn't stop thinking about this scene and how everything lead up to it and how it finally turned out. God. It's just. *chef's kiss* Beautiful. 💖

[ihni]

Sixth commission for #HarringroveForAustralia. For @lymricks <3 (from the lovely lovely fanfic “so many ways to talk about longing”

(And I know that most people have already read Lymricks’ stuff, but on the off chance that you haven’t - do yourself a favor and take a day to read through those fics. Just, trust me on that one.)

This in no way makes that kind of writing justice, but I hope you like it anyway. Thank you for donating! <3

(Also special shout-out to @lemonlovely, who is the sole reason my wrist is not killing me right now!! <3)

[coffeeandchemicals]

9 and 14?

Thank you for asking me these!!

9. Recommend something that you really enjoyed in 2020.

(I’m tagging a few authors in this answer, please feel free to ignore me! I just want to gush about your amazing works).

This is tough! I enjoyed so many things!! Especially if we’re talking fanfic, since 2020 is when I got into Harringrove and have read so many excellent fics in it.

Soooo…. I guess the first fic I read that got me into the fandom was dried up, half full by @lymricks. I think I’ve read that fic at least ten times. But really, anything by her is amazing. Also, I absolutely adore when the bones are good by @un-buttoned. Again, everything I’ve read by her is fantastic! But there are so many good writers in this fandom – everything I’ve read by @passivenovember, I’ve loved. In 2021, I’m planning on reading As certain dark things are to be loved by @thursday-knight, which I’ve heard absolutely amazing things about!! I’ve read way shorter fics by him and they’ve all been amazing. 

For Teen Wolf, anything by @eneiryu . I found their fics after I finished season 6 and have read almost all of them. But I started with i know all sorts of things i don't believe and have read it at least three times. Their characterization and plot is just phenomenal. Also, the way they just publish 50k+ fics all at once is so amazing. 

I only recently started reading Black Sails fics and I’ve really enjoyed so many. But I loved the straight walk home by @vowel-in-thug. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read by them, but I just love the au they created for this fic.

14. What do you want to do more of next year?

I already answered this one! But there are so many things I want to do more of in 2021 that I’ll answer again. I’d like to be more active on tumblr – sharing headcanons and snippets. I’m really shy and introverted, so I’d like to try to push myself outside of my comfort zone.

[harringroveficarchive]

(these are just to start because oh boy i’ve got like nearly 3 years of harringrove fics saved on my blog) when i have some more time i plan to deep dive more and go through the accounts i know have several tumblr fics but here’s what i have for now:

from lymricks (newest > oldest):

1. Steve walks into the hospital that first day, bandaged up and bruised.

2. Steve comes home with pizza on a Tuesday early evening.

3. “They won’t,” Steve is telling him. “You’re being ridiculous, just come on–”

4. Anonymous asked: Can I share with you the joy that is the idea of iceskater!Steve and hockeyplayer!Billy

5. 87. “Love you? Don’t make me laugh.”

6. “This,” Billy tells him, looking supremely bored as he says it, even though Steve can see his urge to shy away in the tension of his jaw, his shoulders, “Is really fucking stupid, Harrington.”

7. electric-177 asked: hi!! absolutely adore your writing!! it’s so good! for the Kiss Prompt (if you wanna) could you do 24 for Harringrove? thank youuuu xxx

8. a tiny little thing for @flippyspoon who in this post said “OR BILLY WHO DIDN’T SAVE THEM BUT DIDN’T HURT THEM EITHER” bc I love that sentence with my whole soul

9. 18. “I shouldn’t be in love with you.” (i believe there is a pt 2 on ao3 though!)

10. Billy almost never stays the night, but last night it was raining so hard…

11. Anonymous asked: ‘good morning cruel world’ sounds like something Billy would say

12. comfortable in the dark

13. At 2am, Billy cracks one eye open and looks at Harrington, who’s sprawled across the bed with his arm thrown over his eyes.

14. Harrington says, “It’s cool,” and “I’m into it,” and “Let’s just keep this quiet, man,” and then he lets Billy slide to his knees and he gets his fingers in Billy’s hair…

15. cleaning up bottles with you

16. It’s morning and it’s raining and Billy wakes up from a nightmare feeling weird as fuck. 

17. With permission from @wasting-time-again​ and @women-seem-wicked​, I did a thing.

18. Anonymous asked: Ohhh if you’re still doing prompts, 45 with some pre/budding-harringrove?

19. Steve blinks awake on a Saturday morning and stares at the clock.

20. Anonymous asked: first kiss prompts?? I would love a first kiss that happens a little bit after they’ve become friends…

21. transharrington asked: ooooh what about that #64 on the drabble prompts 2 thingy??

22. Anonymous asked: 34 or 69?

23. Anonymous asked: “Take my jacket. It’s cold outside” for the writing prompts 💞

24. Anonymous asked: hiii i’ve been feeling really sad and lonely and anxious and i’m not sure i can ask for fic but im really dying for some hurt/comfort right now :(((

25. Anonymous asked: ooohh prompts! 62, 73, or 83?

26. Anonymous asked: #45!! ❤

27. Anonymous asked: Here is a prompt if you’re into it: Max/Billy bonding with possible Harringrove on the side. Maybe some angst involved?? Who knows??

28. 76. “You need to wake up because I can’t do this without you.” for @allegra-dreams <3

29. ohmybgosh asked: 23! :D

30. introvertia asked: #3!

31. Anonymous asked: Super vague Harringrove prompt ideas: Modern! Harringrove, possibly where Steve meets Billy’s ex?

and some randoms i found recently:

from grabmyboner: Do u think Steve conditioners his pubes

from hoppnhorn: She’s not stupid, she knows that Billy Hargrove is bad news. and It’s not often that Billy bends over and asks for it. 

saucy snippet from awickedplacelikethis on an old nsfw doodle i did x

from xxcaribbean: Billy knew about pregnancy. Knew it was an option for most except for him.

from letshargroovetonight: Have we ever talked about ‘the boys of summer’ being like the best pining!steve song ever?? Like. What if he goes to visit billy in California. and hhhhh

(hope this is ok! let me know if you guys need me to change anything in the future when i send more of these!)
