because of you pt2 I @crappymixtape I A + F
I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss I @andvys I A I Steve was slipping through your fingers and you desperately held onto him not realizing that his heart wasn’t yours anymore. Dealing with the aftermath of your breakup turns out to be harder than you thought. Steve’s presence still lingers and while he keeps a hold of your heart, someone else sneaks their way into it too.
second chance I @astermath I A + F I steve decides to ask out the girl who he keeps seeing around hawkins with her nose in a book. he’s a little surprised when he gets brutally rejected, only to find out his “king steve” era is haunting him more than he expected. he attempts to make it up to you and show you he’s changed, even if it takes him a couple of tries.
hurt feelings pt2 I @munsonson I A I Eddie breaks up with the reader for being boring, giving her the impression they just weren’t right for each other. Unfortunately for him, he realizes too late how big of a mistake this was.

jealously, jealously I @/lovebugism I F I steve doesn't realize he's in love with you until he gets a glimpse of you with someone else
more than just friends I @schoopsahoy I S I you and your best friend have gotten into the habit of making out, as long as there's no touching. but that's easier said than done

the aftermath I @starcourtsteves I F I After the Battle of Starcourt, Steve and the Henderson siblings go back to the Henderson house for a sleepover so Steve and the reader are catching up/finally relaxing in bed (she was with the Kids and Steve in the Russian base). Dustin eventually crashes in his sister’s room for mutual comfort.
request I @ashwhowrites I A
illicit affairs I @nervoushottee I A I You wish you were enough for Steve, but he will always want Nancy.
go for it I @/nervoushottee I F I Steve has been your “movie guy” at Family Video for a while now. Little does he know that the main reason you’ve been buying these movies is to flirt with him and just maybe ask him out…
stories tucked away I @harringtown I H/C I AU in which the reader is pulled into the Stranger Things world. With the knowledge of how the story ends, they try to change the script and save the characters they’ve come to love. But this isn’t just a show, anymore, and destiny isn’t easily affected, even if that destiny was written by a pair of grown-up film kids (aka a self-aware reader, the same old gang, the same old monsters, eventual steve/reader, and a few surprises)
right person wrong time I @fleurrreads I A
golden hour I @plainemmanem I F + ~S
comparing hand sizes I @loveshotzz I F
i guess its never really over pt1 pt2 pt3 I @/loveshotzz I H/C + S I Convinced by your best friend to return to Hawkins for the summer, nothing is like how you left it five years ago, including the boy you’ve done nothing but try and forget.
(its not like) hes my boyfriend I @luveline I H/C + F I Steve hears you wrong, thinks he’s your boyfriend, and begins to act accordingly. You try your best to go along with it until you can’t anymore

alt!reader I @heartfeltcherie I F

where i lay down I @captainmarvels I F I Steve has one year left to get you to talk to him, and he doesn’t realize how much he loves the game until you let him win.
a case of you I @/captainmarvels I F I When you catch Steve’s eye from across the mall, all he can think about is you. Will he garner up the courage to say hi, or will your flirtatious banter remain an unspoken thing?
home away from home I @/captainsmarvels I F I When you and Dustin leave Steve alone for half the summer, he realizes just how much he loves his two favorite people.
the keg stand I @jurassicbarnes-archives I F I In which you take a stand to protect your best friend’s reputation.

coy I @/jurassicbarnes-archives I F I In which you make the first move (and Robin wins a bet)
next best thing to an angel I @slashersteve I H/C I Reader has been cursed by Vecna, and the group has to work fast in order to find a way to rid her of it. There's too many close calls, and just when they thought they had it figured out...it just might be too late.
stuck with me I @/slashersteve I H/C I you and Steve have been through some tough shit, but it was always together. This time, it really seems like you’re going to die and Steve doesn’t want to die without telling you something first.
some kind of disaster I @/slashersteve I H/C I Reader and Steve have been together for a few weeks now, and she runs into a person she had a fling with once. That person was Billy Hargrove, and it’s the first Steve’s hearing of this.
ahoy there I @/slashersteve I F I Steve keeps striking out with girls, and Robin is having a time about it. The score for the day is 0-5, and then you approach the counter and suddenly it becomes 1-5.

how to fake it pt2 pt3 I @munsonluhvr I F I In an attempt to cover up a lie and make his ex-gf jealous, Steve enlists you, his best friend, to fake date him.
whats wrong with being confident I @/munsonluhvr I F I king!steve harrington x confident!reader. after setting his eyes on you in the cafeteria, steve, and all of his ego, pursues you; though you don't fall to your knees quite as easy as the other hawkins high girls.

alone with....him I deactivated I F + S I You get locked in a store with Steve(thanks to him being an idiot) and you’re not sure how long it’ll take to get out…but something else gets out before you guys do. Thankfully it stops your arguing and hate for each other.
i’m completely and utterly in love with the concept of reader developing feelings for alastor, but she knows he’s aroace so she doesn’t know how to communicate/doesn’t wanna cross any boundaries. so the next best thing? distance and close herself off from him.
when they’re in the same room she will not look at him or talk to him in case it slips that she’s head over heels.
she even goes as far as standing on the other side of the room because being too close to alastor sends her into a nervous frenzy.
but alastor, being the very observant demon that he is, notices how closed off she’s being when he’s used to her standing close to him. used to her soft and calming voice. used to having her presence around him all the time.
does he miss it? yes. will he ever admit that out loud? absolutely not.
so alastor confronts her about it. and maybe it takes a bit of poking and prodding to finally get reader to admit everything and she’s so terrified because “i don’t wanna lose you to my stupid and idiotic feelings”
but then… hehe. alastor just says;
“my darling, i love and cherish your company more than any of the others here. it’d be a downright shame to not have a beauty like you on my arm”
hi lovelies, sorry i’ve suddenly become so mia, my mental health has been the absolute worst and i’m finding it hard to find motivation to do anything. i promise i’ll be back to writing soon <3
I know Alastor is… well, Alastor, but I feel like a relationship with him could be so wholesome. He probably wouldn’t be so overtly affectionate, but when he finds himself overwhelmed by his love for you, he will grab your chin and delicately trace the outline of your jaw with his thumb, press his forehead against yours, or give you eskimo kisses.
