connecting the two dots? I am looking 👀

this one's been on the backburner for quite a while and is mostly just some ideas written down at this point, but (if i ever get around to writing it with any degree of coherence or grammatically correct-ness) it's going to be a lil steddie/platonic stobin/platonic roddie thing wherein EVERYONE HAS THE WRONG IDEA. the dots are being connected, but they're the wrong dots all-around (i'm a slut for miscommunication okay) (also i got carried away explaining this idea so it's under a readmore fdjfsgfk)

it's well over a year since the whole upside-down ordeal and eddie's trying very hard not to let his crush on steve get bigger than it is because, well...robin and steve are obviously dating. they share clothes, steve is almost never seen without her, robin sleeps at steve's house more often than not. the barely-contained jealousy is there, and then there's also guilt because robin's one of his best friends now, too. he's jealous in both directions: jealous of robin because he thinks she's dating steve, jealous that he never gets to hang out with his new close friend robin one-on-one. he kind of thinks it's some "won't-let-my-gf-alone-with-another-guy" thing on steve's part, even if he doesn't get that vibe from him, he heard the rumors whispered in the halls about the nancy-jonathan situation, how everyone thought nancy was cheating on him. he doesn't want steve to think that's the case, so (after testing the waters by kind-of-subtly dropping the subject of queerness and watching for reactions) one day he blurts something about having a crush on a guy. (i'm a bi eddie truther but this would be mostly to reassure that he isn't trying to go after robin)

steve doesn't act surprised at all, but it's because he kind of got the feeling eddie was into guys, but here's where he's got it mixed up: he thinks eddie's into GARETH. because, aside from steve robin and dustin, corroded coffin is who eddie hangs around the most, and...eddie and gareth share clothes. eddie's not any more touchy with him than he is with anyone else, but he figured that was just them being lowkey. he noticed gareth was always the one who sat right next to him at lunch. when he and robin tag along to cc's practices, he notices eddie and gareth speak almost in some sort of code, like they're making inside jokes to each other that no one else understands, and eddie always looks away with his face red, so. those are the dots steve connected. it's not a surprise to him at all, but he is supportively resigned about it, because there it is. eddie confiding in them that he's with gareth without saying it outright. he can live with that even though it sucks.

robin's shocked, because even if she's not very good at noticing signs and flirting when it comes to herself, her pattern recognition is off the charts. (autistic robin supremacy) she thought they were dating already, and has been feeling guilty about third-wheeling, but steve always insists she come with him when he's hanging out with eddie, so she tags along. and it's not like they make it awkward with her there, so she's fine with it, she just figures that the nights steve doesn't spend with robin are spent with eddie. maybe they can't be together as often because eddie has to sneak around so wayne won't find out, she doesn't know, but the point is: these two dinguses aren't even fucking dating but she can TELL they like each other and she kind of wants to bonk their heads together.

it all gets sorted in the end, and robin stays their third wheel because that's their platonic soulmate now. idk the world needs more platonic roddie but that's just my opinion

I was given permission to share my summary (and snippets, if there’s interest 👀) of my Stranger Things Big Bang that I haven't shut up about for the last couple of months! I’m a little nervous to share but, here we go:

Over The Hills and Far Away: rated E, ~40k words (heavy approximation as that's based on the current draft and outline!)

Shortly after defeating Vecna, Eddie Munson and Steve Harrington have come together... only to fall apart. Eddie, chasing freedom and fleeing a broken heart, follows the winds to a tattoo apprenticeship in Chicago and later opens his own shop in Indianapolis. Steve, on the other hand, stays put in Hawkins where he begins to feel his bones creaking beneath the weight of his regrets and the life he isn’t living. Four years later, at the turn of the ‘90s, Robin and Steve take a trip to Indianapolis where a spontaneous decision turns things upside down for both men, forcing them to confront some old demons of the literal and metaphorical types. Steve and Eddie are then faced with the idea that maybe, just maybe, there’s a place for them in each other’s lives after all.

self rec game

tagged by @santasteve @bayouteche @flashyysins

rules: recommend three of your own fics (1 most popular, two hidden gems) then tag some people!

most popular:

sweet as honey pairing: steve/eddie rating: teen & up words: 1,223 summary: eddie works at a snow cone stand, and steve gets to try a new flavor.

notes: i really, really love this one - it's probably my 2nd favorite thing i've ever written, so the fact that it's my most popular means a lot to me. it's a sweet little thing that had me kicking my feet and giggling just in the daydreaming stage, if i'm honest.

hidden gems:

from the tone of your voice, pairing: argyle/steve rating: mature words: 4,449 summary: argyle takes his own advice, and steve is competitive (but also touch-starved). shotgunning happens. sexual tension ensues.

notes: this may be my favorite thing i've ever written. i'm so happy with how it turned out, and i'm SO happy it's gotten the response it has - being an extremely rare pairing, i was prepared for next to no engagement and that has not been the case. but, because it's such a rare pairing, it is my least popular fic, so i'm still putting it here.

you're shooting stars from your eyes (it drives me crazy, drives me wild)  pairing: steve/eddie rating: explicit words: 4,036 summary: steve looks pretty in eyeliner. looks extra pretty with it running all down his face.

notes: this fic haunts my every waking moment, because it's actually supposed to have a part 2 - a part 2 which taunts me every time i open word, because i wanted it done so long ago and got stuck and now i can't even look at it. but, there's not actually any plot happening, so part 1 can be read as it's own thing. it also ended up being much, much softer and sweeter than i planned. that's just kind of what happens when i hyperfixate on the band whirr for a week.

i'm aware this game has been making the rounds already and i'm late to the party - so if anyone i've tagged has already done this (or just doesn't want to!) i am sorry please ignore me. but like send me the fics you linked so i can read them.
