25 Steddie favourites of 2025

*slaps thighs* Here we are, gang! The list has been finalised… For the second year in a row, I humbly present to you an overview of my year with our two favourite idiots. I guess you could say it’s been a ‘Steddiefic’ year! Get it? Because, ‘terrific’… ‘Steddiefic’… No? Okay, I’m just gonna get on with it.

If you’re at all interested in my 2024 selection, you can find that here.

The final numbers for 2025 are as follows: I read a total of 208 fics which, together, amounted to approximately 6.9 million words. I would like to reiterate that this list is NOT a ranking. In 2024, I decided to list the fics in an alphabetical order, this year we’re doing it chronologically, in the order I read them throughout the year.

I remember being pretty sure nothing could possibly beat 2024 in terms of Steddie fics. Alas, I could not have been more wrong, since I found so many of my all-time favourites in 2025. I now present them to you:

1. carve your name into my chest by hexiewrites

the prettiest boy EVER

Steddie fandom quick question

As we all know, Eddie’s a musician/singer in a lot of fics… Whose voice do you hear/imagine when he’s supposed to be singing? I always think of Steven Tyler, specifically in Walk This Way or like an Eddie Vedder type of voice

[inthedarknessofnight]

i think i finally found the other half of Eddie ‘brings flowers to a date’ Munson and it’s Steve ‘can i carry your school bag for you’ Harrington

[inthedarknessofnight]

it’s been almost four years and i just realized something i haven’t thought about in a while is top secret situationship Steddie, with history pre-dating the whole Vecna thing, who have never in their lives addressed their feelings for each other, and Steve seeing Eddie down on the ground in the Upside Down, bleeding out, and the way he just starts sprinting towards him, manically trying to claw his way through, crying out in anguish, repeating, Eddie Eddie Eddie, and everyone is trying to stop him because they have no idea what possessed him, so he’s shoving them off as he screams “BECAUSE I’M FUCKING IN LOVE WITH HIM YOU IDIOTS”… yeah

'86, baby!

[clownifornian]

Steve: Will I ever find someone that could love me as much as I would love them? *shakes magic 8 ball vigorously*

Eddie: SIGNS POINT TO YES!

Steve:

Eddie:

Steve: Would Eddie accept an invitation to go on a date with me? *picks up Eddie and shakes him*

Eddie: Concentrate and ask again.

Steve: Would Eddie accept an invitation to go on a date with me?? *shakes Eddie*

Eddie: Reply hazy, try again.

Steve: You just want me to keep holding onto you, huh?

Eddie:

Steve: *shakes Eddie*

Eddie: As I see it, yes.
