📚 [PART I] | [PART II]
Summary: Steve Harrington was six years old when he met you: Nicole St. James, the girl who carries the other half of him. Since 1972, the two of you have been inseparably tethered by the soul. You give Steve a home in his big house with no parents, and he gives your introverted heart a longing for someone. The King of Hawkins High and princess of this small town, you tell each other absolutely everything...except that you are in love with each other.
Everything changes that one afternoon at school, when you catch the school's social outcast -- Jonathan Buyers -- has been stalking Steve, his posse and his girl, Nancy. Little do you both know, the monsters in your favorite fairytales are real. And you're both going to have to fight them together.
You both share the best days and worst days, through childhood and teen years, until you both find yourselves roped into the perils that exist beneath your feet in Hawkins.
But through it all, despite all the doubt, Steve knows one thing: you're there. You've always been there.

eventual nurse!Steve and Mamma Mia 2!crossover love story
🍼 SUMMARY: Turns out, the best babysitter in town isn’t the girl next door. It’s none other than Steve Harrington: former king of Hawkins High, newly certified child expert. It doesn’t hurt that he’s insanely pretty to look at. Which doesn’t go unnoticed by Mrs. Browne, who hire him on as their nanny for their newborn baby girl, per Karen Wheeler’s referral.
Steve Harrington had no clue that taking a beating from Billy Hargrove and protecting those kids in the tunnels full of demodogs… would make him go from pretty playboy to protector.
Translation? Hawkins hottest babysitter grows up by rocking six pounds of innocent little magic to sleep — and ends up completely whipped for it.
my blurbs + one-shots, collab fics and limited series
📼 “BE KIND, REWIND.” • blurb
Steve and Robin like the same girl — who just so happens to be their coworker at Family Video. Oh, and Keith’s unexpectedly super hot cousin.
requested by @mi171100
💌 LET’S SHOW THEM WE ARE BETTER • collab series
You and Steve met in the summer of '09. The two of you have been pen pals ever since. He writes you from private school back in Hawkins, while you write him from your all-girls boarding school in Massachusetts. He doesn't allow himself to know you've had a crush on him forever until he's denying his own... and then begging you to let him have you when it's already too late.
Because while you were both away at school, both your parents divorced their spouses... and confessed to an ongoing affair, now sealed with a kiss and a marriage certificate that officlally makes you both step siblings.

some psa’s -> for anyone new and/or seeking answers:
ohhhh thinking about steve in the beamer, his precious beamer. thinking about how his hands would look when drives because i know he drives so loose. there's not a tense bone in his body, he's in his element. guiding the steering wheel gingerly, not driving the car but coaxing the car. thinking about how his thighs would fall apart so naturally as his body relaxes. thinking about his huge hand wrapping around the gear shift to maneuver, thinking that if he gets real relaxed he might move his right hand to your thigh, thumb petting across your jeans, you can feel the raw heat of his palm through the denim, his other hand confidently slung over the steering wheel at 12 o'clock, fingers languid, not a care in the world, almost cocky as pushes 85 on the interstate.
today I was listening to my favorite music and it reminded me so much of isf, I think someone already pointed it out but imma say it again
so, prepare for this dissection
the cleaners are coming, one by one
(the reapers preparing to choose their tributes on every district)
you don't even want to let them start
(the shock and fear of being chosen)
They're knocking now upon your door They measure the room, they know the score
(the invasion and later the sponsors and trainers betting the lives of young kids on most to less likely to survive)
The cleaners have done their job on you
(the tributes are dressed as they need to get appeal and public approval)
They've hosed you down, you're good as new And they're lining up to inspect you
(I see such as them in the ceremony, knowing every move and expression is being observed, or the lineup as the parties and noncon using their bodies to survive this world)
poor old Jim's white as a ghost he's found the answer that we lost we're all weeping now weeping because there ain't nothing we can do to protect you
(steve realizing while he's protecting dustin as offering himself, he's not going to be there for the kids and likely not coming back)
hey little train! we are all jumping on the train that goes to the Kingdom we’re happy, ma, we’re having fun and the train ain’t even left the station
(the "Kingdom" is their death as they are going towards it and the only happiness they have is the imagination of a stolen childhood [steve, ren] and still having to protect the innocence [little ro] they have left)
I once was blind but now I see have you left a seat for me? Is that such a stretch of the imagination?
I was held in chains but now I’m free I’m hanging in there, don’t you see In this process of elimination
(this is their goodbye, but yet they still remain there, as they died in a massacre but free from the sistem once they are gone)
o children lift up your voice
children rejoice
(the start of the rebellion)
forgive us now for what we've done it started out as a bit of fun
(now as steve, ren and others have the power over their once reapers this is the only thing they can say, and yet we can realize that they still view the players and victims not as people but a entertainment and that is engraved in their minds, "but hey, they are sorry i guess...")
sorry, I had a tbi and a concussion from a fall and was in and out of consciousness for 3 days and felt a little bit closer with my buddies steve and ren and this kind of popped in my head ❤️
I love interpretating books and novels, especially the good ones like yours
stop i’m crying laughing at that gif right at the end of this post like asdfghjl—
i’m sorry but UHMMM OH MY GOD??? this song is LITERALLY ISF?? this is it?!?!?!?!? WOW???!!!! 🤯 @marie-the-muse we must must just add this to your playlist/score/soundtrack ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
pls know, anytime someone dissects any of my writing / works / series && breathes life into it through their own introspection as a reader ~ let alone, assigns music to it?? ~ that is my love language. it’s so humbling, a true honor && makes me feel so inspired to keep going.
sorry i don't make the rules, olivia ate with this album and it matches all the Misha characters in my head🙂↕️🙂↕️
I JUST WANNA SAY THAT I TRULY BELIEVE OLIVIA RODRIGO IS IN MY HEAD && SECRETLY A TUMBLR FANFIC GIRLIE BC LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE WRITES SONGS THAT FIT EVERY COUPLE OF MINE BUT DOESNT KNOW IT???
