đ [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
đŒ SUMMARY: Turns out, the best babysitter in town isnât the girl next door. Itâs none other than Steve Harrington: former king of Hawkins High, newly certified child expert. It doesnât hurt that heâs insanely pretty to look at. Which doesnât go unnoticed by Mrs. Browne, who hire him on as their nanny for their newborn baby girl, per Karen Wheelerâs 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 â and ends up completely whipped for it.
my blurbs + one-shots, collab fics and limited series
đŒ âBE KIND, REWIND.â âą blurb
Steve and Robin like the same girl â who just so happens to be their coworker at Family Video. Oh, and Keithâs unexpectedly super hot cousin.
requested by @mi171100
đ LETâS SHOW THEM WE ARE BETTER âą 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 psaâs -> for anyone new and/or seeking answers:
misha! super curious how youâll adapt the quarter quell reaping as itâs the first games in ISF and assuming every other game only has a singular winner compared to our two victors in indiana đ
ohhhhhhh now you got me antsy to start dropping my catching fire au...
aggghhhhhhh the way the victors all win && get pooled together has been the most fun thing to write... I shan't spoil anything, but suffice it to say? Steve && Ren becoming the 48th state's winners together, making the final count 51 and not 50... is a wild thing that stirs up controversy amongst everyone.
I am so happy to have our little shadow for a few more chapters⊠or uploads at least. I know itâs going to add to the devastation but I love him so much đ„șđ
omg im finally catching up with some *kind anon messages* that i received before turning them off đ„șđ„ș
ilysm thankyou, angel anon. sweet little ro stole my heart, i just had to keep him alive for longer than rue did in thg. just one extra day/night spent with Steve before *that awful canon event* happens... đđ it just had to be done ugh
why is it so difficult for people to be normal online, personally I HATE the 'x reader' a lot I just discovered that it existed this year, I don't even understand why it exists but I'm not complaining to people or demanding anything because⊠hello? itâs not made for me, we are not the center of the universe and nobody is forcing you to read anything, people need to know that they can ignore what they don't like, is that simple, if I read something it's because it fulfills what FOR ME is the most important thing, the plot, and if it's not your case, then you look for something that aligns with what's most important to you and that's it
is it so difficult to understand omg, also, how the fuck are you going to label a fanfic that is written 'you do this' 'this happens to you' 'x looks at you' if it's not "x reader" because a common character or book is NOT written like that
the way i wanna hug/kiss/squeeze you thru the laptop rn
đ„čđ«đ€đ„čđ«đ€đ„čđ«đ€đ„čđ«đ€đ„čđ«đ€
thankyou for this mega. i resonate with all of this, like im sorry but... what do you mean you don't wanna imagine yourself as any character you like?? what do you mean you need me to leave it bland && without any remote description because it will "ruin the experience" for you?? what do you meannnnn you want absolutely no details because your mind refuses to play pretend, even in FICTION/FANFICTION????
what do you meannnnnnn "i run this place and make the rules" when literally none of us do?????????
that meme is 10000000000000000000% right
it's not that serious
once I'm all moved && settled, @keer-y will not be able to get rid of me and this fic shall be brought back toile (bless jess, rly... bless her. patient angel.)
[here is said "tiny rant." again, i could say a whole lot more but it's absolute so not worth any effort beyond this more humorous approach. so here is all my bandwidth has to offer on this subject:]
-> read here first for context
not me being chronically offline, getting ready to move && spending time with all my friends && prepping for an all new era of my life⊠and all the while, not having a single clue that someone iâve never met or spoken to {minus one random, petty DM exchange initiated by them â which iâm very happy to post/share⊠stay tuned, it *will* get its moment... proofs are gr8} lumped me into their alleged self-proclaimed group of âthese girls are mean girls.â
âŠ
âŠâŠ.
âŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ
brb
lemme just...
...add to my list of unexpected goals reached:
âïž being labeled a âmean girlâ by a tumblr blogger who {according to their bio} is old enough to be my mum && doesnât know me at all && apparently has nothing to do better to do than bully ppl online && have parasocial interactions w/ strangers who donât even know them && start petty nonsense on the internet bc theyâre miserable.
{meanwhile, i go into a full blown panic attack if i ever miscommunicated??? or if i am ever so much as looked at wrong??!?!?!?! or sent a nasty inbox from an anon trying to start shit???? or feel like i have let somebody down?????}
ANYWAYS...
here is how me && my two Tumblr besties now identify to any h8ers && random blokes who have no earthly clue who we are irl bc they'd rather just assume:
dear mishaland: YOU ARE SAFE HERE!!!!!!! ⥠here, we thrive on fandom && fangirling over Steve Harrington, Gator Tillman, and all of Joe Kerry's beloved characters [+ DJO's music & Joe himself].
you can read more on my main pinned post [scroll to the bottom] about how I run my lil online realm of Tumblr, but ââșââ tl;dr ââșââ we operate on creativity, kindness, dark humor, love, acceptance && pure fucking vibes. if you're gonna ruin it, then pls seek somewhere else bc I'll be damned if my happy place that I share with others gets plagued by any further ignorance and/or bullies on here!!!!!!!!!!!!
when i say âsyl is my Bible,â i donât think you all understand that i mean that with every fiber of my cursed being. {@thecreelhouse}
this post says it all.
but truly: i love this human && being in their realm. they keep fandom, my world outside of it && the unity of those two realms so beyond safe, warm, loving + sheltering. i strive for making âmishalandâ (my blog within the fandom) a sanctuary.
đ€ syl makes that possible in more ways than they realize.
i have my own âštiny rantâš coming later that addresses my own unhinged thoughts on this whole ordeal that went down ~~ but for now? iâm simply saying: thank fuck we all got on the same page, mutually realized where the toxic source was, and watched it unplug itself after whatever happened to make the plague see itself out.
as a self acclaimed Mercy og lover, you cannot understand how excited i am that it's july i've been in Mercy withdrawals when i tell you
đ€đ€ the way this made me SCREECH with excitement, tho
our baddies are in the pressure cooker rn ready to burst bc truly ~ Gator x Baby M are about to be our hot girl summer from mid/late July till autumn onward !!
i was seven and you were ninei looked at you like the stars that shine
in the sky, the pretty lightsâŠ
and our daddies used to joke about the two of us
growing up and falling in love
âŠand our mamas smiled
âŠand rolled their eyes
âŠand said, âoh, my my myâ
the way that Roy and Jonathan have always known/suspected, in their own ways, that their kids would fall for each other â even though it has never been in that sweet âaww, watch them end up togetherâ type of way, because itâs what they both fear for very different reasons.
&& the way both their mamas are dead, but are shining down on them both⊠knowing they will be each otherâs happily ever after in the end, no matter what happens.
just a small town boy and girl
living in a crazy world
tryna figure out what is and isnât trueâŠ
and i donât try to hide my fears
the secrets, or my deepest fears
through it all, nobody gets me like you do
âŠand you know everything about me
âŠyou say that you canât live without me
well, you drive me crazy half the time
the other half? iâm only tryna let ya know
that what i feel is trueâŠ
yeah, iâm only me when iâm with you
3. Picture to Burn = Babygirl Mercer in her bitter era, as she keeps on watching Gator sleep with / have flings with other girls but never make a move on her.
4. Invisible = Babygirl Mercerâs heartache as a song, watching girls hit on Gator â knowing theyâll never understand him (or love him) better than she understands him.
5. Cold As You = Babygirl Mercerâs song to her dad {make the words have non-breakup/romantic meaning⊠and itâs worse like fukkkkk đ} No matter how much she represses her feelings like he does, she realizes that no matter what⊠sheâs never been as cold as him. Jonathan Mercer is the epitome of stone cold bastard.
6. A Place in this World = Baby M, still figuring out what she wants in this world without feeling pressured to answer for it. đ
7. Tied Together with a Smile = Baby Mâs perspective of Gator, finding him beautiful in all the ways he doesnât see himself. đđ
8. Shouldâve Said No = Baby M and Gator, bitter at each other for dating anyone who isnât each other, because they are both toxic lil fuckheads who take forever to become endgame. <33
Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson do not get along. Theyâve been sniping at each other since saving the world from Vecna and everyone is tired of it They would fight at the bar. They fight in Family Video. They fight over music, over movies, over whether Eddieâs van is âa death trapâ.
But what nobody knows is Steve started it. And Steve keeps starting it. Because the first time Eddie got really mad like red faced, voice cracking, gesturing with those rings and hair all wild from running his hands through it Steveâs brain just short circuited. God, heâs so hot when heâs pissed. He would think to him self.
So now Steve has a system. He says something dumb about his music choice and Eddie explodes. Steve wins. Not the argument. But just to see him.
Eddie doesnât get it at first. He just thinks Steveâs an asshole who peaked in high school and never learned to shut up. Until one night Steveâs baiting him about âreal musicâ and Eddie shoves him hard against the brick wall outside the Hideout, and Steve smiles.
Oh.
âYou absolute freak,â Eddie says realization dawning and devastating. âYou like this. You like when Iââ
Steve cuts him off by kissing him, because since heâs been caught he might as well give in.
these are both long and very worth it! reread both several times đ€ so many others could also go on this list but these are the two that stand out bc TSOS was my first Gator fic I ever read and then MERCY is the most eloquently crafted fic - love them both and their authors!!
i just wanna hug you so tight && squish your cheeks && give you endless hot tea with throw blankets, cold silk pillows && warm fireplaces in Gator x Mercerâs future ranch home đ„čđ„čđ„čđ„č i love you MAJORLY && your support means the world !!!!
