Super chill harringrove fic week announcement!

Will run from July 1 - July 7 to honor Billy’s totally-not-death day 🥰

Rules: honestly there are none? Although this event is being thrown in response to harringrove fics getting deleted on ao3, so posting there is preferred (if anyone needs an ao3 invite I have one, and I’m sure we can gather up more if needed). And maybe try for a minimum word count of 100. But beyond that do whatever your heart desires

Here’s a little list of prompts I thought up if you want some motivation of what to post. Totally don’t need to follow them though

Finish an unposted wip

Smut! Yay!

Have a favorite headcanon/scenario you’ve (seen) posted somewhere but it’s never been elaborated on? Elaborate on it!

Ask your friends/followers for prompts/inspiration

Ultimately this event is do what you want forever. Just trying to motivate and encourage people to post harringrove and keep the love alive 🩷

Have you never written for the fandom before but want to dabble in it? Nows your chance! Come one come all

And for those who are not writers and have no desire to be, may I suggest this week instead to find your favorite fics, or new to you fics, and leave comments! I promise you no matter how old the work is, the author wants to hear from you, even if it’s just an emoji. (Reminder that authors can’t see comments on orphaned fics but I think they still can on anonymous ones? I’ll delete this part if untrue lol)

You can also take this week to promote your favorite fics or what you’ve currently been reading!

There will be no hashtag or anything to follow for this event besides the harringrove tag because again, this is more just about encouraging engagement and community and keeping the fandom alive (the fandom is by no means dead but you know what I mean. Hopefully)

Happy creating and have fun!

chapter 4/6 of "vomit the heart" is up!

(harringrove, season 2 canon divergence, mindflayer, big overall warnings for body horror, self-injury, violence and gore, past abuse, earning the explicit sex tags in this chapter!)

Link to read at AO3.

When he wakes again it’s night; he didn’t know it was daytime, before, but now it isn’t anymore, he can tell from the shadows in the bedroom, and the empty mouth of the open doorway and the black ceiling in the main part of the cabin. Out there, there’s flickering. Someone’s watching a muted television. In here somebody’s turned on the lamp on top of the dresser, so he’s not entirely in the dark. The mercy of that feels like an icepick to the heart.

Billy must make a sound, because there’s silence, and then there’s a creak, and socked feet padding over. Harrington sways into the doorway, hair a flattened mess like he was lying on one side. He looks at Billy, and Billy looks at him, biting his cheek.

“Stop looking at me like that,” Harrington says, gravel-throated. He’s been at a bottle of something. His consonants are sliding around. “You did it all day.”

“I’m… not,” Billy says.

“Stop it,” Harrington says.

chapter 3/6 of "vomit the heart" is posted!

When he blinks, his toes are in sand. Warm seawater’s lapping him. When he looks down the little broken crusty bits of seashell wink at him, mother-of-pearl insides glimmering. Ground-down green glass. His feet are small, with rounded babyish toenails. There's a purple bruise on his left forefoot.

“I’ll only tell you once,” Billy says, without lifting his head. “Stay the fuck out of this. Don't ever fucking try to take me here again.”

The water laps him again. And then he's standing in his socks on the rug in his bedroom in his dad's house. It's just the way it was when he left that night. The lamp’s on, and the room is yellow, and he didn't make his bed even though he's supposed to do it every day. There's magazines spread over it, and the stereo's on faintly. Maybe it's supposed to make him feel nostalgic. Safe. What a funny idea. “What do you want?” Billy says.

The girl looks at him from the open doorway.

“Will you show me?” she says. “Steve?”

I was craving some menacing badie Steve because we didn't get enough of that. Think he just ended up looking like he's about to take his last breath though, whoopsie
