So This is Love

Contrary to what Eddie believes, Wayne isn't a morning person. He's just become one after years of working odd hours. Now he's an all-hours person, he's also a very light sleeper.

This is why one morning in their new two-room trailer, Wayne finds his brain awake at 7am on a Sunday.

There's soft feet padding in the kitchen, he can hear it even from his bedroom. More than one pair of feet dance around on the floor and Wayne rolls onto his side.

Must be Steve.

Eddie's boy.

Sweet kid from what Wayne's seen, always polite, a little silly, a little bite, seems perfect for Ed.

Also the only person who could ever seem to get Eddie up earlier than 10, Wayne still doesn't know how he does it. But the boy's got Eddie up and to it at all the odd hours of the morning and Wayne's just glad Eddie's up at all.

He can hear the pan clank on the stove.

Pancakes then.

Steve's speciality. He smiles, doesn't mind waking up this early if it's to Steve's pancakes. If Eddie doesn't marry the boy Wayne's going to adopt him.

"Eddie!"

There are giggles, and more feet thudding and Wayne thinks, he's never really heard Eddie giggle.

Not like this.

Not like he's in love.

God, they really don't know how to stay quiet, though. There's more rustling and the soft sound of singing. Wayne scrubs his face, throws on the robe Steve had gotten for him last Christmas, and makes his way down the short corridor, only to stop just shy of the kitchen.

It's a tune he's not heard for a little while.

It's not anything Eddie really listens to, not his music, not since his mother. But it's not Eddie who's singing.

It's Steve.

"So this is love,"

Eddie's got his boy plastered to his front, tucked into his arm in a rather close dance pose.

"So this is what makes life divine I'm all aglow, mm And now I know (and now I know) The key to all heaven is mine"

It's soft, it's whispered, they sway as Steve sings and Wayne, he's not sure he should be privy to it, but he's grateful he is.

Oh, to see his son in love.

@Fanfic writers:

My friend send me this link, is a series on a profile on Ao3 (tumblr) that has different tutorials to insert things to fanfics via html code, I thought I would share bc it’s really cool

Lists of tutorials:

How to make images fit in mobile browsers

This is a tutorial/live example on how to make large images fit on mobile browsers but remain normal size on desktop browsers.

How to mimic letters, fliers, and stationery without using images

This is a tutorial/live example on how to mimic the look of letters, fliers, and stationery (as well as other forms of written media) without using images. For all your epistolary fic needs.

How to make a “choose your own adventure” Fic

This is a tutorial/live example on how to create a "Choose Your Own Adventure" fic. While this has been explained before (see here), this particular tutorial shows you how to use a work skin to hide the next parts from the reader until they click through to get to them.

How to make linked footnotes on Ao3

This is a live example of how an author can create linked footnotes in their work with only a little bit of HTML and no workskins required. This is best viewed by clicking "Entire Work". While I've included the actual coding in bold and italic once you click "Hide Creator's Style", there's a more detailed explanation here.

How to change text on Ao3 when the cursor is hovering over it (or clicked on mobile)

This a tutorial/live example on how to have text change or appear once a cursor is hovering over it. Helpful for pop-up spoilers, language translations, quick author's notes, etc.

How to mimic author’s notes and Kudos/Comment buttons

Anonymous on tumblr: do you have a skin that would mimic the author’s notes and review/kudos buttons section from the end of a fic? the desired effect being that the fic could go on after the “end” of the fic, so after the author’s notes and review/kudos buttons

Here's a tutorial/live example to do just that, with some of the buttons actually functioning. I'll explain more inside!

How to wrap text around images

This is a tutorial/live example on how to align images to the left or right of the screen and have text wrap around them.

How to mimic email windows

This is a tutorial/live example on how to mimic email windows on AO3 without the need to use images.

How to make ios text messages on Ao3

This is a tutorial/live example on how to mimic iOS text messages on AO3 without the need to use images. There's also a chapter on how to have emojis displayed on AO3 as well.

How to make Customized page deviders

Bored with the default page dividers? This is a tutorial/live example on how customize your page dividers with no images needed (though I do show you how you could use images if you wanted to do such a thing).

How to make invisible text (That can be highlighted)

This is a live example how to make invisible text that can only be seen by highlighting the text. Tutorial is included in text, and you can always leave comments about questions you may have.

MOBILE USERS: Sadly, this probably won't work for you, since highlighting in a mobile browser is different than web. I've tried correcting this, but have yet to find a solution.

How to make a rounded playlist

Original coding and design is from layouttest. I make no claims for it, just tweaked it so it will work on AO3.

Sticky notes on Ao3 without using images

summer is winding down and I’m feeling nostalgic

[goodnight-mi]

Hello ♡ I’m slowly going to post all my steddie art here from twitter, so here's the first one of them being silly and in love ♡

[tone-mariie]

[i-think-i-thunk]

I want to see more disabled steddie

Give me eddie who has shit lung capacity and digestion issues from the damage the bats caused. Eddie with forearm crutches and/or a cane to help him get around. Eddie who has a wheelchair for especially bad days when it hurts too much to move around. Eddie who can never quite catch his breath.

Give me steve who needs hearing aids and glasses. Steve who gets dizzy and nauseous and cant ever seem to stay balanced. Steve with a speech imediment. Steve who has trouble identifying common items.

Give me steddie who struggle though recovery together. Steddie who help each other to love themselves again.

I so desperately want to see more disability representation in fics and these boys are perfect for it.

They buried an empty box in a small, private cemetery a few miles outside of Hawkins. A small plot of land hidden away from prying eyes and harsh whispers of a young man gone mad. Children, far too young to withstand the weight of death and despair on their shoulders, clung to one another and wiped each other’s tears.

Slowly, the fissures of land healed as the displaced packed what little belongings they had left and ran. The shelter kept kids out of school for the time being as search parties continued to cling to the hope of finding those still missing.

In the weeks and months that passed, two important things changed.

🌱

Or; Eddie comes back wrong but maybe it’s just right for Steve.
