Wip Whatever-day-it-is-idk-man
tagged by @stobinesque @eriquin and @blushweddinggowns ! ๐๐ชฉ๐บ Thank you guys so much my brains exploding with happy chemicals from you guys
Rules
ok so i haven't done wip wednesdays/weekends in a bit because i wasn't sure how I wanted to do the wip options since i only have one wip i keep going back and editing instead of writing whats next. SO i figured I'll make a little version where you guys make me to put the gists of things down just to have something to work with and stop just editing my old shit
In a poll I have a handful of different scene ideas I know will happen relatively soon in my fic We'll Be Alright (The Steve Henderson Au)
You guys can vote for one in the poll and I'll share a snippet from my most recently added scene (actually new stuff and not me editing my old stuff!! wahoo!!)
each vote will be 1 paragraph (so like could be a chunk of text could be a dialogue line) i'll spend putting that idea into words and each ask will be 3 paragraphs plus a little snippet from what I got down (much shorter than my normal, sorry guys i've belatedly realized i've shared a lot more than i thought of my earlier chapters lol
Snippet
Since all these are kinda serious plot moments I figured I'd share a moment of silliness
Steve stood there for a few seconds, water running and holding a tortoise in someone elseโs bathroom.ย
And to think, this isn't even the weirdest thing to happen in the past few days.
"Back." Dustin announced, running back in with a thermometer he stuck right under the water.
"Why the thermometer?"
"He's ectothermic so he needs a very specific temperature range."
Steve nodded, just going with it.
"You should call him Yortoise."
"Yortoise?"
"Yeah, Yurtle is 'turtle' with a 'Y' so since he's a tortoiseโฆ Yortoise."
"He's named after the book though." he said, closing the sink drain and letting water fill the bottom.ย
"He won't mind, he can't read."
Dustin burst out in a laugh.
"I'll just stick with Yurtle."
"Can I still call him Yortoise?"
"Sure, it'll be your special nickname for him."
"Hell yeah"

#stranger things#steve harrington#dustin henderson#steve and dustin#dustin and steve#yurtle stanger things#i will be the only person in that tag but whatever#one day people will understand the perfection that is Yurtle the Tortoise#devon's steve henderson au#steve henderson au rambles#kinda unsure about this snippet because the humor feels very gen z to me and i get worried about applying my gen's style to the wrong time#mostly becasue im pretty sure it'd be pretty immersion breaking for people who actually grew u then and half st's appeal is nostalgia#so let me know what you guys think cause its possible im overthinking it or im thinking it the correct amount (i cant tell the difference)
