after settling in miramar as instructors, when they both started melting to each other, ice decided to invite mav for chill night. while preparing drinks he left mav stumbling around house. everything is fine, until ice hears loud call to come over.
he founds mav staring at his wall with pictures. particularly one, where little tommy is sitting on his father’s shoulders near man, who also holding little brown haired boy.
“is that you and your dad? do you know who’s that?” “well, no. i don’t know who’s that. dad was stationed at manila and we went there with him, i think…”
and that’s how tom kazansky found himself being dragged to nextdoor home’s bedroom, looking at the same picture at mav’s wall.
turns out they both were at the same time, at the same place almost 20 years ago and after confirming with parents, they discovered that little tommy and pete were inseparable during 3 month period
almost whole life later, after hearing this story, daggers would call them true soulmates and they would laugh, reminiscing about good old times
who else is anxious for v2?? anyways here’s some steddie fics in no particular order to help soothe the soul. i’ve marked my favs with a (*)
*Not So Bad [43k, M] by outofmygourd
Vecna is dead. It's the summer after the party's freshman year. Steve Harrington spends it in the Family Video Store, and Eddie Munson is spending post-graduate life bothering him. And maybe Steve isn't as bothered as he used to be.
incredible, amazing, absolute god tier. if u also enjoy fics that feel like wrapping urself in a soft blanket straight from the dryer, then this is a must
open up your lovin’ arms (i want some, i want some) [7k, G] by oaseas
Dustin's concerned Steve's going to die alone. Steve's concerned Dustin won't ever understand the concept of boundaries.
Or: Dustin attempts to save Steve's love-life.
i love steve and dustin so much y’all. and eddie is too precious in this
*To Be Loved For No Reason At All [21k, T, WIP] by beetlesandstars
It all starts with Steve finding Eddie Munson in Alison Brown’s bathtub.
Or, how one night leads to a conversation, leads to shotgunning, leads to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, leads to confessions. Steve's just along for the ride.
absolutely wonderful. you’ve got soft vulnerable steve and insecure but precious eddie. love love love
sweetheart, will they ever find out? [2k, M] by ShipperTrash140109
He’s finally beside the nightstand, reaching for the jeans, when above him someone- Steve- grunts and inhales sharply, a soft, confused “Dustin? What are you doing?” In the doorway, Mike and Lucas slide away from view
“I’m looking for your keys,” Dustin whispers almost indecipherably in an attempt to be as quiet as possible.
“Who’re you talking to?” as if things couldn’t get worse, a deep voice pipes up from out of view, and Dustin realizes it’s the person in bed with Steve.
short, sweet, and hilarious
Hey Babe, Your Hair’s Alright (Hey Babe, Let’s Stay Out Tonight) [42k, T] by BowieBond
His bed was familiar, comfortable, warm. He never wanted to leave it. To face this town ever again.
So he just...didn’t get up.
He never imagined who would have the biggest problem with that decision to succumb.
----
After Eddie is humiliated at graduation by the town who still believes him to be the murderer, he breaks. He recluses.
Steve isn't taking his shit for a second, and he's not letting Eddie's fire burn out.
this one makes my heart hurt for poor eddie. good thing steve is there to take care of him!
*sub-culture [55k, T, WIP] by palmviolet
“Is he whining about Eddie being mean to him again?” Robin is leaning in the doorway, eating a leftover slice that’s probably cold by now. “You talk about him more than you talk about girls, Steve, it’s getting concerning. Anyone would think you had a crush.”
or, steve is pretty convinced eddie now hates him. turns out eddie has the opposite problem.
painful but sweet and hopeful too. also have i mentioned i love found family? so so much??
hot patootie [1k, M] by iwishiwasreal
"Jim couldn't help but groan as his headlights illuminated a maroon BMW.
Just like the car Steve Harrington drove nowadays."
Hopper finds Steve Harrington having a rendezvous in the backseat of his car with unexpected company.
this ones the second part of a series but u don’t have to read the first to understand. hopper pov but surprisingly sweet and funny
*four walls [2k, T] by shroooms
steve, eddie, and home
we need more wayne munson appreciation!! once again loving the found family vibes
*sir stephen strider finds his suzie [5k, G] by lesbianrobin
Dustin watches Eddie's face as everyone else giggles. He's retained his typical intimidating smirk for much of this encounter, but as Steve stumbles through his fictional seduction, Eddie's eyes soften. His smirk slowly turns to a small grin.
“Didn't Wizard Romeo and Juliet both die?” he asks, in that same low, grumbly voice he always loves to use for big scary bad guys. The effect is jarring.
“Well, yes, but… they loved each other first,” Steve says, oddly sincere. “I think love is worth the risk. Wouldn't you agree? And then, uh, I'm gonna take off my helmet and, like—” Steve tosses his hair, shaking it out dramatically and running a hand through it afterward to fix any wayward strands.
"Ew,” Mike says.
Nancy presses a hand over her mouth, but it does nothing to hide her smile. Usually, this is the point where Eddie would make them all roll initiative. Dustin has his D20 ready. But Eddie smiles. Eddie fucking smiles, and not in that maniacal way he does before siccing something horrific on them, he fucking beams, and says, "You're gonna scrape your neck on his mace doing that, just so you know."
this one is SO heartwarming. dustin centric but i love getting his pov. he clearly loves steve and eddie so so much and just wants the best for them. fantastic all around
*when you need me, call me (no matter where you are) [4k, T] by fivecenturiesverse
Steve isn't having the best time of it but he's trying to make time for his kids. Then everything goes to shit again. At least he gets a fugitive boyfriend out of it.
When it all starts happening again Steve mentally blames Tammy Thompson’s singing, probably woke Vecna up and he was all like “these people need to remember their favourite songs, because if that’s the musical talent in this town… boy are they fucked” or something along those lines. Or maybe he’s just feeling a little bit insane because he just saw Max — little Max with the red hair who scared him a little bit and saved him from Billy that one time — floating up in the sky like, like an angel. And he couldn’t do a thing but hope Max really, really likes Kate Bush.
found! family! steve is such a good mom in this one. i love his relationship with the kids and robin and how he just cares so so much. this ones kinda melancholy but i love it
luck couldn’t get any worse [4k, T] by anniebibananie
Eddie Munson has gum stuck in his hair. Steve is happy to help.
this one has no right to be this cute
*my name for you [12k, T] by kefisdemise
a small look into the development of steve and eddie's relationship through conversation and situation. or, five times eddie uses a nickname (read: pet name) for steve, and one time steve uses one for eddie.
i have SUCH a soft spot for pet names. love love love the progression of their relationship in this one, an absolute must read
*got to get you (into my life) [6k, M] by wayferette
Steve isn't willing to spend fifty dollars on drugs, and the only other person everyone is buying from just so happens to be the boy he'd been silently infatuated with for the past month.
Or: Steve gets high and confesses his feelings for Eddie
k. run don’t walk to read everything by this author. right now. this one in particular is just SO soft. such a sweet hs au where they each have embarrassing crushes on each other. i love it
While the walls come tumbling down [12k, T] by Thorinoakentwig
“You know I think about two-thirds of Hawkins High would claw my actual eyes out to have the Steve Harrington as their soulmate.” Eddie says thoughtfully and then waggles his eyebrows.
Steve laughs. “Two-thirds? Seems awfully low.”
(Or: Steve Harrington’s multi-year bisexual awakening, soulmate style)
full disclosure: i am not usually a fan of soulmate au’s. but this one??? was just plain wonderful, this author is amazing y’all
***darlin’ you give love (a bad name) [24k, E] by Thorinoakentwig
The first time he hears Dustin and Mike mention the name Eddie Munson he almost walks into a VHS display at work.
Steve wants to ask them how Eddie’s doing but then his face from that last party flashes into his head and he always clams up. If he was Eddie he’d want nothing to do with him and rightly so.
Instead Steve teasingly complains about how much time they spend with Eddie and that’s as far as it goes.
listen. am i engaged? yes. BUT do i ALSO want to propose to this author because of the sheer and undeniable beauty they have blessed the world with?? also yes (my fiancée will PROBABLY understand right?)
but in all seriousness: wow wow wow!! also i know i said no particular order but what can i say. i’m a liar.
this one is my absolute fav steddie fic and maybe even one of my fav fics of all time. super unique idea executed so so well. it’s a goddamn tragedy this author only has two st fics, but GOD is what they added great
Sterek Fic Rec - June 2022. I’m late for a very important date! I feel like the white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland. Sorry team. I know I am a few days late but enjoy! :)
Seriously, it’s like you’re photoshopped. by orphan_account (1/1 | 8K | Teen)
“Oh my god,” Stiles squeaks out again. “You’re unbelievable.”
Hot Bar Guy bobs his head agreeably. “I’ve been told that before, though usually people are more out of breath and less clothed when they say it.”
Or, the Crazy, Stupid, Love AU nobody asked for.
If being sexy was a crime, you’d be guilty as hell. by DropsOfAddiction (1/1 | 14K | Explicit)
Derek tries and fails to shut his gaping mouth as Stiles arrives at his desk, heartbeat rabbiting a little faster than usual.
Stiles grabs a file out of his desk, muttering something about forgetting to mail it yesterday and needing to get it down to filing by Monday. Derek’s barely paying attention, unable to concentrate with the scent of him right under his nose.
He leans over Derek to grab an empty envelope from their shared stationary tray and Derek knows he’s absolutely fucked when he sees how his trousers are moulded to his perfect ass.
“So…. how do I look?” Stiles asks casually as he stands back up, as if his very presence hasn’t just given Derek a very sudden and uncomfortable boner.
He looks like he should be on the cover of GQ.
What Derek wants to say, what he really means to say, is that he looks fine. Quite nice, even.
What comes out of his mouth is so far from that, it’s almost ridiculous.
“You can’t go out looking like that!” Derek manages, sounding choked.
Stiles pales.
You’d Be So Good To Come Home To by SylvieW (1/1 | 5K | Teen)
In Stiles’ final year of college, Derek decides to rebuild the Hale house. He keeps asking for Stiles’ opinion on the house plans. Stiles doesn’t realize that Derek is building the house with a mate in mind.
Mug Life by whateverrrrwhatever (1/1 | 7K | General)
Stiles hates the morning shift with the passion of a thousand fiery suns. The hot guy in the leather jacket with the boring coffee order might make him change his mind.
Grass Is Greener Where the Bodies Are Buried by mt_lyfe (1/1 | 2K | Teen)
“Derek, is that a hand sticking out from the petunias?”
Derek froze, “No?”
Ink Stained Hands by xxjinchuurikixx (1/1 | 14K | Mature)
The moment the spell breaks, Stiles feels every rune in his skin turn cool and then dim, like fiery embers that have had water quickly rushed upon them. His head is spinning, and he blinks, once, then all his strings are cut, and he collapses.
*
In which Stiles has magic, tattoos, and an irritating crush on Derek.
And Derek is just Derek.
“How did you not know?” Laura screeches and Derek feels his hackles rise, defensive.
“Wha—Bu—But he smells good to everyone!”
“Not that good,” Cora scoffs.
“Yeah, not good enough to hump him over it.”
“I didn’t hump—”
“You kinda did,” Stiles agrees, scratching at the back of his head. “Though I can’t say I minded.”
-
A new tea shop has opened in Beacon Hills, and Laura drags Derek along so he can try the incredible, memory-evoking drinks for himself. He’s soon going back for more, but is it because of the tea, or the owner?
The Witching Hour by loserchildhotpants (1/1 | 8K | Teen)
The radio host AU no one ever asked for but I have written anyway because sometimes when DJ’s play several sad songs in a row, I worry about their mental health and then this AU was born
You Fit Me Better by Jerakeen (2/2 | 5K | Not Rated)
It’s only been eight months since he started having the dreams, but he’s already cracking. He’s heard of people living thirty, forty years with them, unable to find the one, complete the bond…. He doesn’t know if he could do it. The euphoric, in-love feeling that used to carry into his day now hurts. It feels like someone’s ripping it out of his chest every morning and he’s bleeding, all day, until he’s asleep again and he is there.
subways & superheroes by totleightowers (1/1 | 7K | Explicit)
Stiles inadvertently trash-talks a superhero, The Wolf-Man, to a superhero, The Wolf-Man, and somehow ends up having mind-blowing sex with a superhero, The Wolf-Man.
princecharmingwinks special mention (so I never read WIPs but I made an exception for this fic and my gosh what a fun ride it has been for the last 2 years. Recently completed and so now I can rec it. Enjoy my followers who like longer fics!!)
Same Old Song and Dance by Halevetica (91/91 | 125K | Explicit)
Raised in the hunter life after his father was killed, Stiles hates werewolves. So when he lands a contract to kill the alpha of the pack that killed his father, he’s elated. Until he runs into complications. The alpha is smart and strong and playing a game Stiles can’t figure out. When secrets are revealed and new enemies made, Stiles must decide for himself what side he’s on and who he can trust.
We are halfway through the year team, wooo! I also read a few fics over 10K, look at me go (but don’t think this is the norm haha). See you next month !
