About -

The Harpy Curse.

A strong curse that affects any avians who happen to have it and can only be tamed via a powerful potion. It isn’t something to be taken lightly as there is the chance of an avian becoming trapped in their harpy form for a period of time. Stress and high emotions are known to be a trigger for the curse, leading to a faster transformation. The transformations are known to be beyond painful and a person can remain in their harpy form at least a few hours, unless given a potion to reveserve the transformation. There is no known cure for this curse and research into the curse is very limited, with only those affected by it knowing how it works.

For Grian, Jimmy and Phil, the curse has been something they have lived with their whole lives and they learnt how to live with it. They never let the curse stop them from living their lives and they always made sure to keep the curse at bay with potions. Barely anyone knew that the trio suffered from the curse and they always did their best not to let anyone find out about it.

Grian had been keeping a secret from all of the hermits and it’s a secret that he was never going to share with anyone. He was going to keep his secret close to his chest until the day he died and he hoped that it would stay that way.

Hey guys, so recently I've been working on a new Scarian fic that I would like to share with you. There are currently two chapters available to read but I do plan on posting more chapters in the future. Please check the tags before you read any new chapters as this fic gets rather dark and handles sensitive topics.

Anyways, I hope you like fic and feel free to tell me what you think in the comments.

I completely forgot to post my first ever Christmas fic on here so I'm sorry if it's a few days late, since I was busy enjoying the holidays with my family.

[sha3thehunter]

I've had something on my brain for a while and I just love what I've been thinking about. I like the idea of some of the Hermits having toe beans and either hiding them out of embarrassment or shame. They all have their reasons for not showing their toe beans. The only one who actively shows his toe beans is Ren but the others are more cautious about it, for different reasons. Ren is very open about the fact that he has toe beans and how much he hates wearing boots. He prefers to feel the ground with his feet and gives him a feeling as though he running wild. The only time he'll wear any footwear is when he goes to the Nether or the End because he doesn't want to hurt his feet. In the Overworld, it's very common to see him without footwear and other Hermits trying to get him to wear at least something on his feet.

Tango doesn't show his toe beans very often but he does run through through the Nether with no shoes or boots on. He has never liked wearing any kind of footwear in the Nether and doesn't see the point in wearing them. His feet can handle the burning temperatures of the Nether and he is the only Hermit to run on netherrack without protective footwear. There are only a few Hermits who have actively seen what Tango can do and it was mainly Zedaph and Impulse. The pair agreed to not tell anyone until Tango was ready to tell everyone about his secret ability. Zedaph has joked about it before and has said that Tango must have quite strong feet if he can run through the Nether bare footed. If there was going to be anyone that Tango would share the fact that he had toe beans, then it's Ren for sure. Zedaph and Impulse would be more concerned over the fact that Tango never told them, rather than the fact that he had toe beans. They probably would be interested after they stopped being dramatic about the whole situation.

Etho is more quiet about his toe beans and refuses to take his boots off around other Hermits. It isn't because he doesn't trust them but more so out of shame and constantly being forced to hide his hybrid features for people. The only person who he is comfortable with is Bdubs since Bdubs has seen in his full hybrid form before. Etho doesn't show his hybrid features often and chooses to keep most of them a secret. Bdubs thinks that Etho is adorable in his hybrid form and loves how fluffy he is. Etho's feet, similar to Tango's, can stand freezing temperatures and he is able to run barefoot through snow without any trouble. He doesn't do it very often but when he does, he runs for hours or until he gets exhausted. Bdubs usually has to drag him back to his base before someone spots them and Etho is beyond grateful for that. Maybe one day he'll tell someone other than Bdubs about his hybrid features but for now, he'll work on that courage to do so.

It's uncommon knowledge that Voidwalkers are actually very fluffy and are just giant cats. Many believe that Voidwalkers are scary and that they have horns and claws. The claws are the only thing that people get right about them. Xisuma never really shows his Voidwalker form very often and only takes that form in his base. His bases are pressurised so he can breathe without trouble and allows him to relax in his Voidwalker form. Most of the Hermits think that Xisuma is terrifying when he isn't wearing his armour. It makes him chuckle because they are so far from the truth and no one has idea that he is actually very fluffy. Because of his bases being pressurised, it makes it difficult for other Hermits to enter without a breathing mask so they have no idea that Xisuma is very cuddleable outside his armour. The first thing he does when he gets out of his armour, is stretch his feet out like a cat would because his boots are very uncomfortable.

Doc doesn't exactly hide his toe beans very well since he is constantly wearing crocs. There are times where he doesn't wear them at all and it's not as if he's actively trying to hide them. Yeah, it's a bit embarrassing because people don't know that creepers have toe beans. It's something that should be common knowledge but Doc doesn't go out of his way to keep it a secret. If any Hermits have noticed, then they haven't said anything to him about it. Ren has tried many times to convince Doc that he doesn't need to wear his crocs all of the time. It's not he's embarrassed by them one bit and he knows that it's just a part of who he is. It's just Ren likes to comment on how cute his toe beans are and how they make Doc look like a softie. It's the only reason as to why Doc actively wears his crocs when Ren visits because he still struggles with compliments.

[sha3thehunter]

More mer Hermits AU for you that is mainly xBralis focus bc those two have taken over my brain but the ship is cute as fuck.

Enjoy.

Part 1

Bathtubs aren't ideal for keeping a ocean mer in but it was the best option they had. It was pretty clear that they weren't going to leave xB on the rocks to be discovered by someone else. It wasn't a risk they were willing to take because they what would happen. However there was the problem that their roommate would find out about the mer in their bathtub. Doc had been their roommate for the last few months and it was clear that he didn't trust many people. Xisuma and Keralis had rescued Doc from a marketplace where he was being sold as meat. They were quick to buy him off the fisherman who caught him and acted as though they had idea for him. They clearly didn't want to hurt Doc and just wanted to help him any way that they could. They did the same thing for Doc as they were doing for xB by keeping him in the bathtub for a while. The only difference was that Doc had no chance of surviving out in the ocean because of how badly he was injured. He ended up becoming a permanent roommate once it was clear that he wouldn't survive in the wild. They didn't want Doc to find out about xB or the fact that Xisuma and Keralis brought a mer home with them. It wasn't that Doc wouldn't tell anyone but more so, they didn’t want him to know because it was only a temporary thing. They were planning on releasing xB at high tide and they knew that it wouldn't be until early morning.

However, there was one small problem with their plan. xB wasn’t in the best condition and was badly hurt from the fishing nets. His tail was in bad shape and it was clear that some of his fins had been injured by the nets. He was missing a few scales and it was easy to see that he had no way of protecting himself anymore. His claws weren't sharp enough for him to fight back and a few of his spikes had been completely snapped off by how tight the nets were. There was no way that he could survive if they released him back into the ocean in this condition. He was exhausted and hadn't chance to eat anything, since he had been hunting when he had got tangled up. It was difficult to figure out what they could do help and what kind of food that xB would eat. Keralis had a fair idea as to what xB would eat but the problem was that he hadn't been at sea in a very long time. He knew that he had to risk it if they were going to help keep xB alive and he certainly knew that it would worth the risk. Keralis simply told Xisuma that he would be back in a few hours and to keep on eye xB while he was gone. Xisuma knew what Keralis was going to do and warned him about the fishermen who might still be out. There was no way that Xisuma was going to lose a friend to those fishing nets and hooks.

While Keralis was gone, Xisuma did his best to keep xB company and to make sure that nothing would happen. He carefully examined the part of xB's tail that was hanging over the side of bathtub for any other injuries. He never got much of a response from the ocean mer and there were moments where xB would flinch away from his touch. Xisuma could understand the reason as to why and he did his best to keep his movements as careful as possible. That's when he heard xB speak for the first time since they rescued him from the rocks. It wasn't easy to understand what xB was saying but it seemed as though he was apologising for being a bother. He was apologising for getting caught in the nets and for not being able to free himself. That was something you don't apologise for. Xisuma knew how to speak mer from both Keralis and Doc but xB wasn't easy for him to understand. He mainly had to go off of xB's body language to understand what he was saying. Some words sounded similar to what he was taught but it wasn't easy to fully understand the main conversation. It didn't take much to realise that Xisuma was going to need help with this but he had no idea when Keralis would be back fresh food.

Xisuma needed Doc's help with this.

Pirate xB? Pirate xB!

[sha3thehunter]

Look at this, this is sick as fuck and I love it so much

[sha3thehunter]

I have been binge watching xB a lot lately and now have some mer headcanons bc yes

Anyways, enjoy this little AU that I may expand on in the future

Part 2

xB knows that he shouldn't go too close to land in case someone sees him. However while hunting one day, accidentally gets tangled up in fishing nets that had been left out and struggles to get away from the shore. The more he fights, the tighter the fishing nets get and the more the hooks dig in. It's painful but he knows that it's too risky being close to the shoreline. He tries his best to swim away but the fishing nest are wrapped tightly around his tail, making nearly impossible to swim correctly. He ends swimming too close to the rocks and gets washed up on them by the tide. xB officially has no way of getting back into the water and is now stranded on the rocks. He has no way of removing the fishing nets or hooks and he could feel the rocks beginning to dig into him. He begins to panic because he knows that someone will see him and that would lead to him either being captured or killed. He tries to again to get rid of fishing nets but its useless and he's just making it worse for himself.

After some times, xB's scales start to dry out and he's starting to feel the effects of being out of water for too long. He hears talking coming from further down the beach but doesn't have the energy to fight back if someone comes close. He soon sees a pair of feet in front of him and can hear two people talking to each other. They seem to be worried about him and are determined to get the fishing nets removed, as well as the hooks. He picks up the names Xisuma and Keralis which makes it easy to know who his rescuers are. He didn't understand what they were trying to do or what they're intentions were. Xisuma gently cuts the fishing nets with a pocket knife that he always carried with him. Keralis did his best to keep xB from freaking out and tried his best to pour water over those gorgeous blue scales. The fishing hooks were more difficult to remove but Xisuma carefully removed each one as best he could. It became clear that xB didn't have the energy to go anywhere and that the fishing nets had caused some injuries. Keralis didn't want to leave him on the rocks all night because someone could find him. Xisuma and Keralis came to the conclusion that it would be safer to take xB with them and release him again at high tide.

How exactly to do you keep a mer alive for that long? Simple. A bathtub.

[sha3thehunter]

So I had this headcanon and I decided to write it because it wouldn't leave my brain. Enjoy the first chapter of what I like to call the Harpy Curse AU fic.

More Witch!Eddie because it's still on the brain so enjoy

Eddie's magic had accidentally flowed into Steve after being in contact with his spellbook for so long. It had been a complete accident and Eddie had no idea that it had happened. At first, no one really knows until Steve starts to heal quicker than normal and now has the ability to heal others. Everyone freaked out over it and wanted to know if Steve had been hiding it from them this whole time. It was quickly revealed that Eddie’s spellbook and the magic within it had been the main cause for this new development. It isn’t harmful and Steve seems to function like a normal person, despite having healing magic. Eddie can't remove the magic because it's become a part of Steve and it would kill him if it was removed. The easiest thing to do is to help Steve with his newfound magic and help him to become a healer. Eddie tries to be as patient as he can while also trying to figure how the fuck this happened in the first place.

Turns out that the Harringtons had been hiding a secret and Steve’s memories were sealed to protect the family image. Steve is a half witch but his magic never developed fully as a child. His father had an affair while one of his business trips with a powerful witch and Steve had been a complete accident. His parents never loved him because of that reason and only acted like they care so people would believe they were good parents. Steve had always been able to sense when something was wrong and it explained why he was able to read Eddie’s spellbook in the first place. Eddie's magic had unlocked Steve's own healing and protection magic that he's had since birth. Steve's parents actively sealed his magic and memories so he would be a normal child. Eddie had heard of witches who would do this and he knew that they could charge a high price for it.

Eddie informs the group of the discovery and everyone seems genuinely shocked by the news. There is a new problem that they all face and that is how to handle Steve's new magical abilities. Steve's magic is strong and it is pretty clear that he needs to learn how to control before it destroys him. Eddie knows that it's important to keep in control of magic and that it isn't an easy thing to master. Learning to control magic takes time and a lot of patience to fully master. Eddie can only teach Steve so much before they will need to look elsewhere for more help. Eddie begins to wish that his uncle was still around so they could have that extra support. Wayne would be able to help Steve in more ways than Eddie could. It's clear that Eddie thinks that Wayne died a long time ago after they were separated.

What Eddie doesn't know is that his uncle Wayne is still alive.

[sha3thehunter]

Witch!Eddie because why not and I'm working on a fic about it

Eddie cursing Hawkins to have constant bad luck and misfortune before sealing himself away in an attempt to save himself. He only intended to be sealed for a maximum of ten years but isn't free for another four hundred years. He had no idea that he would be sealed for so long and had hoped that Wayne would find him. The witch hunters had taken his spellbook as sort of proof that they had "killed" the witch and don't believe in the curse at all.

Steve is given a strange book while he is helping out with the annual book event. Wayne approaches him and offers him the book free of charge. Steve gives a few dollars for the book and thinks that it would be a good gift for Dustin. However, Dustin ends up giving the book back after a few days because he can't read it when Steve had been able to read it perfectly. After a short while, Steve begins to hear a voice in his head and it sounds like someone asking for help. He is confused by it and decides to ignore it as best as he can. The voice just gets louder and becomes more demanding until Steve has no choice but to help.

Steve follows the voice to the woods and discovers a person who had been sealed in a crystal. He uses the spellbook to break the sealing spell and he meets Edward Munson, nephew of the grand witch of Hawkins Wayne Munson.

And Steve thinks that Eddie is the most hottest man that he's ever met.

Trans!Eddie but Harringroveson edition 3

Part 1

Part 2

Whenever Eddie needed to readjust his chest binding, he would always excuse himself to use the bathroom. He would use the mirrors in the bathrooms to help him readjust and always made sure that no one would walk in. He never expected that Billy would walk in and the pair just stared at each other. Billy put two and two together after the look of pure panic he received from Eddie. He acted as if it was nothing and continued on his mission to have a piss. He still saw Eddie as one of the guys and it wasn't his business to know what was in Munson's pants.

Steve and Billy had been hooking up for a couple of months but both of them fell hard for Eddie. They didn't care that he was trans and both agreed that he was hot as fuck. They fell for Eddie because of his kindness and not was between his legs. Steve was the first to make a move by kissing Eddie on the floor of one of the many bathrooms in the Harrington house. Billy increased his flirting and started whispering all of things that he wanted to do to Eddie when they were alone. Eddie eventually cracked and wanted to know what the fuck was going on. After some explaining and a heavy boundary discussion, they all agreed to date to each other.

Whenever Eddie needs to have a shower, he always asks if someone will sit in the bathroom with him. The main reason was to keep himself distracted from his thoughts and stop himself from spiralling. He never liked the idea of having to shower alone and he did his best to explain that. It soon turns into either Billy or Steve joining him in the shower and it helps more than they realise it does. Eddie learns to taking showers doesn't have to be a bad thing anymore. There's always someone to hold him when he needs it and to remind him that he's still attractive to someone. Showers are now filled with praise and small kisses.

[sha3thehunter]

Trans!Eddie but Harringroveson edition 2

Part 1

Billy found out that Eddie was trans by pure accident and never told anyone. At first, it wasn't any of his business until he got with Eddie. It quickly became his business after that point.

Billy and Steve had to learn quite a bit once they started dating Eddie. It didn't take long for them to start correcting people on his pronouns. Steve will correct them politely and will get pissed off if people keep misgendering Eddie. Billy isn't as polite and will actively punch anyone who dares to refer to Eddie as she or by deadname.

Eddie has full access to his boyfriends' shirts all of the time and loves how they make him feel when he's wearing one.

Billy looking into different piercings that are considered "pleasurable" and tells Steve that it's something he wants to do. It's actually because he wants to turn Eddie into a puddle but he will never admit it.

It's normal for all of them to cuddle when one of them is having a bad day. Eddie is usually sandwiched in the middle but he doesn't complain because he feels safe.

Billy wants to threaten Jason into leaving Eddie alone but is constantly told that it won't matter. Everyone constantly misgenders Eddie but Jason makes it his mission to constantly do it. Billy just wants Eddie to be happy and is more than willing to hide a body if he's asked to.

Steve using his family name to get Eddie's name changed on his graduation certificate and it's the only time he was willing to use it. He doesn't tell Eddie at all but knows that it was the biggest fuck you to everyone who made his boyfriend's life miserable.

[sha3thehunter]

Can you do more Trans!Eddie headcanons? Harringroveson edition?

Hell yeah, I can. I have so many floating around in my brain so I will definitely be writing more

[sha3thehunter]

Trans!Eddie but Harringroveson edition

Billy will constantly fight anyone who misgenders Eddie and will threaten anyone who dares to misgenders his nerdy boyfriend. Eddie usually has to drag him away to avoid any fights that might break out.

Steve buying Eddie a proper chest binder so he knows that Eddie will be safely chest binding instead of using bandages to do it. It helps him feel at ease to know that Eddie won't end up in hospital with broken ribs because of incorrect chest binding.

Billy is the master of getting blood stains out of anything and will gladly get blood stains out of Eddie’s favourite underwear every month. He never finds it gross and just act like it's nothing. He knows how much it actual means to Eddie to have that level of support.

Both of them have period products on hand in case Eddie needs it for whatever reason. After the first incident, they quickly learned to always have something available just in case. If anyone asks, they just act as if it something that should be normalised.

Steve offering to pay for Eddie’s top surgery because he knows how important it is. Eddie constantly refuses to let Steve pay it because he will feel horrible about it. It takes a lot of convincing to make Eddie agree to it.

When Eddie is recovering from top surgery, both of them spoil him because they know that he needs it and are proud of him. Steve is more likely to say out loud but he knows that Billy is secretly proud of Eddie.

Cuddles are demanded when Eddie is suffering from bad cramps and they usually watch shitty movies while being a cuddle puddle on the couch with so many blankets.

They worship Eddie's body like a temple and constantly remind him of how amazing he is. If their words don't work, they have other ways of making him believe it.

(If you want NSFW stuff, then please let me know if you're interested in that shit.)

[sha3thehunter]

Another Trans!Eddie story/headcanon that has been floating around my brain

Eddie doesn't really do dating and official relationships because people were bound to find out that he's trans. He's more used to hook ups and one night stands because he never has to interact with that person ever again. He could manage seeing his own body a handful of times before he started feeling uncomfortable about it. He always tried to avoid dating because he knew that no one would want to be with him. He always avoided questions about why he never goes swimming or skips out on sports. He never liked the idea of other people knowing the real reason as to why.

For the longest time, the Party never knew and they always accepted his excuses. Eddie was careful about who knows and who doesn't because word can spread fast. He didn't want the kids finding out when he wasn’t ready to tell them about it. He always made sure that he has an explanation ready for when he does decide to tell them. However, the last person he wanted finding out was Steve Harrington and for very good reason. Eddie had a massive crush on Steve and he didn't want to destroy what they had. Steve was a good friend and he deserved to date someone who was perfect for him.

Eddie was far from perfect.

The Party were planning a movie night at Steve's place and Eddie was already on edge over it. He didn't want the kids to find his binding and he knew that he couldn't wear his binding all night. He wanted to lie and say that he wasn't feeling well but he skipped the last one. Dustin had complained to him about it and he would feel guilty if he skipped this one. He just made sure that he was careful about it and he hoped that no one would find out. He made sure that he had packed everything before he headed over.

Everything was going fine until Eddie started to feel some pain. He did his best not show that he was in pain and quickly excused himself so he could go to bathroom. He needed to check to see if there was bruising and he hoped that nothing was broken. He made sure that the door was fully closed behind him and tried to calm his nerves. He removed his shirt which revealed the bandages that were wrapped tightly around his chest. He knew that there were safer ways to bind but he didn't have the money for them. He was making do with what he had. He was about to start unwrapping his chest to assess the damage when there was a knock at the door.

It was Steve and he sounded worried.

It was at that moment, Eddie realised that he had forgotten to lock the door. And Steve was coming in. He didn't have time to react as Steve opened the door to see everything was okay. Eddie felt ashamed and refused to make eye contact with Steve. He knew what was coming. Steve was going to yell at him to leave because he was a true freak of nature. No one in their right mind would pretend to be someone else because it made them feel comfortable. The silence really spoke volumes and Eddie used his arms to hide the bandages as best as he could. He felt like he was going to faint and the bathroom was starting to spin. He swayed slightly and the floor was starting to look very inviting.

Before Eddie could hit the floor, Steve rushed over and caught him. He noticed that Eddie looked paler than normal and his breathing wasn't normal. He kicked the door shut and carefully lowered the metalhead to the floor. The bandages were preventing Eddie from breathing properly and they needed to come off immediately. However, Eddie seemed to be determined to get Steve to leave. It didn't make any sense at all. If Eddie was hurt then Steve had to help before it got worse. It took a lot of convincing for Steve to be able to help and he wasted no time in unwrapping the bandages. Eddie had asked for him not to look when he was done because Steve already knew. It was pretty easy for him to put the pieces together and he had been learning more about the community that he was a part of.

Steve knew that Eddie was chest binding and that he wasn't doing it safely. He needed a proper chest binder or he was going to break something. Steve was quick to voice that and said that Eddie got lucky this time. It was a nasty bruise on his side from not allowing himself recovery time. Eddie was confused by Steve’s reaction because he had been expecting a different one. He asked if this changed anything between them and Steve said nothing had changed. Eddie was still Eddie and that wasn't going to change. Steve made sure to show that he still liked him.

Steve just kissed Eddie.

[sha3thehunter]

I've had this Trans!Eddie story/headcanon stuck in my brain for a while now so I'm sharing it

Eddie wanting to have biological kids with Steve and is more than willing to go through with the idea. They had talked about it before and how Steve didn't want to force Eddie into having kids because he wants his boyfriend to be happy with his body. However, Eddie is more than willing to go through with it even though there is the high chance of him getting misgendered. He doesn't care and he knows that it would be worth it in the end. He would get a little sidekick to help him out with teasing Steve.

Then the demobats happen.

Eddie is lucky to be alive but the demobats did some serious damage. Eddie is told by the doctors that will now be physically impossible for him to have kids. His body is now unable to handle the challenges that come with pregnancy and the is high chance that his body would reject it altogether. The doctors had no choice and with Wayne’s permission, they tied his tubes for safety. They tell him that the risks were too great and that his body had already been through too much stress. It destroys Eddie because it was his and Steve’s dream to have kids once the Upside Down was dealt with. Steve was excited to be a father and so was Eddie.

Eddie doesn't tell anyone and Wayne apologies to him non-stop. He never blames Wayne because his uncle was just doing what was right and just wanted him alive. He would never blame Wayne for making that tough decision. Wayne tells Eddie that he needs to tell Steve once he was released from hospital. Wayne was right. Eddie had to tell Steve before his boyfriend found out through the grape vine. Eddie is released from hospital two weeks later after all of his blood work came back clear. Its time to tell Steve the truth.

Eddie calls Steve and asks him to come over because they need to talk. Steve is concerned and thinks that something has happened. He rushes over to the new Munson home and he sees that Eddie is waiting for him at the door. Steve asks if everything is okay and asks if anyone had been causing trouble. Eddie just says that everything is fine but that they need to have a serious talk. The pair go to Eddie’s new bedroom and the flood gates open.

Eddie can't have kids anymore.

He tells Steve that the demobats have made it impossible for his body to carry kids. He tells Steve that doctors had to tie his tubes for his own safety. He tells Steve everything that he was told a few hours after waking up. He expects it to lead to their break up. He knew that having kids meant so much to both of them and now that chance had been taken away from them. Steve is devastated but Eddie's health was way more important. Steve just hugs Eddie as tightly as he could and says that he doesn't care.

Seeing Eddie in hospital had destroyed Steve because he never knew if his boyfriend would wake up. He didn't care if biological kids were now out of the picture. He still has Eddie. Eddie is his future and he shows it as best as he could. They could adopt cats and have fur children instead. Steve admits that he needs Eddie in his life and that they would figure something out. Eddie tries his best but he just starts crying in Steve's arms.

As long as they had each other, then they would be fine and they know it.
