Summary:
"Eddie shuffles closer to him. Knows he shouldn’t, knows he should steer this somewhere neutral, somewhere more distant, something more akin to just checking in on a friend but he can’t, he can’t. Not when Steve’s looking bashful, not when he’s awkwardly picking up a bit of paper again and folding it anxiously, not when he smells like the sea on a summer’s day and honey-sweet all at once.
“Seriously Steve, this is cool. Maybe you could make something for a campaign? Figurines are expensive, and honestly some of these are better. We could paint them, too.”
Steve looks up at him then. Really looks, and Eddie’s heart gallops in his chest at the sight of those warm brown eyes.
“I made them all for you,” Steve murmurs.
In the wake of Vecna's defeat, with his friends busy with the aftermath, Steve takes up origami, tries to heal his scars in his big empty house , and falls in love with the alpha that comes to visit him daily.
Eddie."

Summary:
Once upon a time, in a far off kingdom, there lived a beautiful maiden…
Chrissy was born to marry a prince. Her mother prayed daily for a daughter, a babe with rose petal lips and dark lashes, one who would grow up graceful and delicate, lovely enough to catch the eye of the king's son. And when she did, she was locked away in a tower for safekeeping with all she could ever need in her new home.
Everything except companionship.
And she was so lonely until her father brought her a gift.

What he hadn't planned for was the blacksmith.
Shirtless, sweat-soaked, and hammering molten steel like it was nothing, the man was, without question, the most devastatingly attractive human being Eddie had ever laid eyes on.

No matter how much it hurts, it’s too late to go back to how things were. Things are different now, and Eddie can’t wait to finally leave Hawkins and all its bigoted inhabitants behind.
But when Jason drunkenly calls him in the middle of the night, all Eddie can do is answer.

Summary:
They say that, when you meet your match, you feel it.
Sure, a true Lux Animae is a hard-earned thing - a bond that must be forged and shaped and toughened in the fires of battle over and over again, and, if done right, will last a lifetime and longer. Still, many people claim that they sensed it, even long before the ceremony.
It is, after all, the magic that does the choosing, and the magic knows. Knows who is destined to complete you, who will fight and cry and bleed for you and draw out your full potential like no other can. So, when you meet them, you’re supposed to feel it. You just need to know what to look out for.
A tingle, some say. A warm, heavy buzz that fills your veins the moment you lay eyes on each other. An electric spark, zapping through your body like a current upon that first careless touch, letting you know that this is the start of something bigger, something stronger, something more profound than both of you could possibly imagine.
The only thing that Eddie feels when Steve Harrington steps on his foot is pain.

Summary: By the time Steve Harrington graduates high school, he and his childhood best friend Eddie have hurt each other beyond repair. All of their good memories have been swept away in one afternoon of screaming, social pressure, and hurt feelings. Years later, when their new best friends start dating, Eddie and Steve reluctantly agree to try to get along for their sake, forced to confront the fact that neither of them are over it. The boys find that being vulnerable is hard, feelings are complicated, and that memory persists longer than they'd like. Can they let go of their pride and acknowledge what they once meant to each other, or are they doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past?

It's fine. Until it isn't, so Steve decides to end the charade. Eddie and him just have to finish their parallel cross-America tours first. Then, they can love each other the way they want: loud and proud.
Or: Steve and Eddie count the days before they can make their love public. That doesn't mean they can't be dorks in love in secret and drive their friends (mostly Robin) crazy.

It was especially hard to be against Steve while they were actively in flux with the military. There were approximately three days between the upside down blowing up and when they were allowed to leave. -- The time between the final battle and the finale and how Steve and Jonathan grow closer.

Gareth Emerson doesn’t have these kinds of problems. He’s a musician who boards the Titanic after a lucky hand of cards and soon meets the most intriguing couple he has ever encountered.
The journey might have been pleasant, if it weren’t for the massive iceberg waiting in the middle of the ocean.

That's when he sees him: a strange man being dragged in by the guards with a manic grin on his lips.

The harvest festival was in full swing when the kingdom of Hawkins was ambushed and attacked by the Southern Raiders, led by the infamous Vecna. Horrified, Prince Steve had to watch his parents get slaughtered. He managed to get away. Desperate and fueled by the burning desire for revenge, he turned to something they had sworn never to turn to.
A story about revenge, a deal and finding true companionship along the way.

Summary:
When he gets the question, among their friends—and maybe someday: for the world—but when he answers that age-old question, he never imagined what his answer was gonna be.
He’s a six-time Grammy winning metal god (a quote, from Metal Hammer directly, so). He was gonna find love in a fellow musician, or the crew, or a weirdly normal groupie. Maybe at a venue bar, if Eddie ever went out to get his own drink.
He never did that, but like: if.
Most likely though was that Eddie Munson would never find love, save that of his guitar, and that was alright, really. He’d kinda always expected that, so it wouldn’t have been, like. A disappointment. Just business as usual.
That’s not how his story plays out, though. Thank fuck.
But it tracks either way that he doesn’t envision that the question of how he met the love of his life would ever, in a million years, be: oh, at a book signing.
A children’s book signing.
Eddie doesn’t even have kids, man.
Which makes it all the wilder still, when the reason for why everyone starts to ask ‘how’d you meet’ spawns from an attempt to fucking blackmail their asses.

Summary:
"Steve Harrington is seriously and more so officially, a dud. A nobody.
Part of him wants to break out in hives at the thought. Another part of him wants to tear out his hair—probably the only thing keeping him steady within recognition around Hawkins. A Harrington that broke away from business, didn’t go to college, couldn’t make a name for himself. What’s he supposed to do?
Everybody around him is all, “Eddie” this and “Eddie” that. When they’re all able to talk or see each other, nobody else has room to breathe, they all take a collective deep breath and sound off like a flock of seagulls about Eddie fucking Munson. Him and his talent, his collection of guitars, his paparazzi photos, his wicked sense of style, his beautifully long hair, his gorgeous picture perfect face and—
It’s infuriating.

Summary:
A prequel that's really set midway through the story wherein Eddie isn't the only part of Hawkins gang that's implicated in the murder and attempted kidnapping of minors.
Or,
Eddie's a pretentious little guy with a lot of thoughts and he'll be damned if you won't hear them (you will--you should).

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry
i love creating oc x canon ships i think more people should do them and i think more people should be really, really, really weird about them
all of you ppl super into writing about and drawing your OCs... you are what make me go so smiler on tumblr.... ur so aspirational to me
(′д｀ )…彡…彡
i feel like these poses each give a slightly different character to eachother. even when the only real change is the way the hands are posed to sit on the hips.. has anyone noticed this
yes!! one of my favorite art instruction books touches on this
Will post the sketch for a moment because idk if i should finish it... maybe later I will do some experiments but meanwhile have some Johnny sharkman x Captain Goldland
"people who stay up at night are either insomniac or In love" people who stay up at night read gay fanfiction on AO3 what are you on about?

Long time no see my baby boy Johnny Wallace!!! Now on another fandom because its my oc and i do whatever I want with him, and I want him to kiss Captain Goldland
I want to draw my OC

Mermaids but they are actually a calamity from the deep sea and two mermen that likes shinny stuff (and may bite you)
Also, William without covering his eyes. Yes, he has long hair, but I hc that the Other Side version has it short.
