Words: 13,152 and counting
Summary:
His mind wants to shut off. Shut down, he can feel the edges fuzzing like they do when he's wearing his collar, but not in a way that feels good. It feels sort of dangerous. He should probably tell a medic.
But he doesn't. There's a lot of things he doesn't want to do.
Doesn't want to remember the torture, doesn't want to think about how he almost got Dustin, Robin, and Erica killed, doesn't want to consider how he thought he was going to die down there.
Doesn't want to think. Period.
Doesn't want to be Steve Harrington anymore. The popular jock prom king, now nothing more than an ice cream slinging has-been.
He doesn't want to be Steve. The guy Dustin plucked from in front of the Wheelers to help him find a fucking monster named Dart and then continued to idolize Steve to the point where he talked him into thinking they could take on Russians.
The urge builds inside him, as it has so many times these last couple, harrowing years.
He only wants to be puppy.
OR
Hopper 'dies' and Steve winds up at the Munson trailer. Eddie is absolutely ready to adopt this lost lil puppy.

Summary:
“So, what’s this crazy idea you wanted to talk about.” Barb asked, switching topics and nudging Robin over to join them on the bed.
Steve glanced at Robin, “Well, since you told Robin, I guess I’ll tell you both.” He sighed, dramatic once more as the two girls rolled their eyes, “I, Steve Harrington, am going to ask Eddie Munson if he wants to share his rut with me.
“WHAT!” Barb shrieked, clearly not expecting this as Robin gasped, “Steven, you slut!”
Robin had no idea.
Barb spluttered, “B-but, what about…” She flicked her eyes down to his stomach and back up.
He waved that away and sat up, “It’s only three days and it’ll be soon. He won’t notice.”
OR
Steve doesn't know they're scent mates and offers to spend Eddie's rut with him. Eddie doesn't know Steve's pregnant with his ex's baby and takes him up on it

Chapters: 21/30
Words: 120,916 and counting
Summary:
Her gaze caught Steve’s, “Apollo visited you already.”
Every muscle in Steve’s body grew taut, “How-” He began, only to be cut off by a shriek of laughter from Eddie.
“Apollo? The Greek God of the Sun?” Why would Eddie know about Apollo?
“It wasn’t a dream, Steven. It was a memory. Apollo always offers you the same deal.” She intoned, and Steve’s mind was in a whirlwind of chaos at her statement.
Because if that wasn’t a dream, if it was a memory, then that would make…he swung his head around to look at Eddie and this time…this time, he really looked because that would make him-
Steve’s soulmate.
Eddie should be dead right now. By all accounts, this was the end of the road for them. The kaleidoscopic feelings and memories began to fill in Steve’s mind, and he knew. Knew that under other circumstances that what they’d had up to this point was all they usually got.

Freak Pussy (omegaverse-rated E)
Chapters 6/6
Part 1 of the Freak Pussy Chronicles
Words: 41,313
Summary:
Silly Eddie, thinking Tommy M was alpha enough to handle his, ahem, uncommon plumbing situation.
And look, Eddie knows he's built different, his mother sat him down at the tender age of five to explain it as best she could, and he probably should've been a bit more particular with who he showed it to, especially in a town as small as Hawkins, but when it's all you know, well, you get used to it.
And he'd been horny.
So, when it freaks a guy out in the middle of fooling around-something about Eddie’s cock too close to the guys asshole? What the fuck, wouldn't that feel good?-Eddie should've expected the outcome to be this.
This being the widely known fact that Eddie is an Omega with a 'Freak Pussy'.
OR
Eddie is outed for having a freak pussy. Steve is VERY interested in seeing if they rumors are true.

Chapters: 3/3 (with maybe a future bonus chapter!)
Words: 16,783
Summary:
“Why are you greeting me and not immediately telling me all the details of that proposal?? It’s all over social media, Steve. Why didn’t you call me the second it happened? Where is your loyalty, dingus? Aren’t I your very best friend? Shouldn’t I hear about the most romantic night of your life from you and not 80,000 fans and tabloid photos? What is wrong with this situation? I don’t care if there’s an eight-hour time difference, when your platonic soulmate gets engaged you call them. Day or night!”
Steve rolled his eyes at least three times during Robin’s tirade and traversed nearly the entire airport to his gate. “Will you breathe for a second and let me explain?”
There was a moment of silence on Robin’s end and then an announcement was made over the airport intercom and her voice came through, hesitantly, “Steve? Where are you?”
He blew out a breath and sat in one of the chairs with an outlet so he could plug his charger in. “I’m at the airport. I’m coming home.”

What's inside of me is invisible to most, even in clear view (Rated E - Stayne/Stopper, DDDNE, petplay fic)
Chapters: 1/1
Part 1 of What are you looking for? series
Word count: 5,618
Summary:
"Use the safe word if you decide you don't want this, alright?" Hopper says right before they get out of his SUV. There's an old Chevy pickup beside this trailer and Steve notes where they are so he can find it again later if he needs to.
"Yes, sir." Steve replies.
It'd have to be real bad for Steve to say the word 'demogorgon' during puppy time.
Puppies don't know about the upside down, he thinks, a tad savagely.
"Jim." A soft voice greets Hopper after he knocks and the door opens. Steve is behind Hopper so he doesn't see the man until Hopper enters first and Steve's standing there staring back at a weathered but handsome face. White beard sparse, he's one of those men that looks like he's got hard edges but there's a kindness to the wrinkles along his eyes that hide the true softy beneath.
"You must be Steve." The man says, so Hopper must've called and talked to him.
Steve glances to Hopper just inside and then meets pale blue eyes and dips his head, "Yes, sir."
"C'mon in, don't want ya catchin' a cold." He says, ushering Steve in with a hand on his lower back.
Steve wants to arch into the touch like a cat. He loves being touched and no one does it enough.

Summary:
“Did you ever come to a party here?” Robin turns from the two on the loveseat to ask Jeff as she passes him the joint.
“Uh, yeah, junior year. I think it was the last one here.” He passed the joint to Steve.
“Was that the one Hopper showed up to and all the popular kids were all chanting ‘fuck da police’ at him?” Eddie wiggled on Steve’s lap, sounding far too thrilled at the memory.
Jeff snorted, “Yeah, I wasn’t one of those kids. Then, Tommy Hagan smashed a bottle and yelled ‘scatter’ and the last thing I remember was climbing Harrington’s back fence.”
“Dude, I got you home.” Eddie laughed, “I was right behind you vaulting over that fence. You were fucked up.”
“I was not going to jail for white kids yelling fuck da police at the police chief.” Jeff retorted, but the memory of that night had him giggling.
Ode to Wayne Munson (Wayne's the best ficlet)
Chapters: 1/1
Word count: 1,178
Summary:
Wayne quickly becomes the only adult that Steve has begun to trust since Joyce Byers moved to California. Wayne is essential in helping Steve bench the kids safely at the Wheeler's before going to prod at the black viney gate at Reefer Rick's with the four teenagers.
He's also the first one after Steve when he gets pulled in.
The man apparently carries around the largest hunting knife Steve has ever seen as he cuts the tail of the bat that's wrapped around Steve's throat. He's also quick and agile for someone who looks like he's closing in on sixty.
And the man has the right hook of a seasoned boxer.
I hope I'm online when it happens. I want to see a sudden flood of crab rave memes right after refreshing my dash, and in the middle of it all, the Castiel news meme. That's how I want to learn of it; not through anything solemn or serious, but via overwhelming silly celebration.
i actually think that what's being missed in the 'why does everyone love heated rivalry' conversation is just that it's good
it's well made, well shot, well directed, the music is interesting, the costumes are both thoughtful and subtly period accurate, the sex scenes are intentional and, again, accurate to what hooking up when you're like 18 actually feels like...the actors are of course attractive but they look like real people. the characters are varied and well fleshed out, the acting is really, really strong
so many shows and films shoot and then slot in whatever music kind of fits or could be licenced in the budget after time, but you can tell that the scenes in hr were shot with that specific music in mind. and the same intentional approach runs through the whole thing
it feels...so nice to watch a show that cares about itself
Nobody knew in advance that this show would become a massive international phenomenon. It was a mid-budget Canadian show (which means low budget by US standards) adapted from a Harlequin romance novel. The deal with HBO for US distribution rights was only signed a few weeks before it began to air.
But everybody involved treated it as if it was serious art anyway. Not just some little Canadian streaming show that might well disappear after airing. Based on a book from a genre that is usually ridiculed by people who consider themselves serious film people. The cast, the crew, the writer/director, the music supervisor, everybody. They all did their best work for love of the game.
reading a good interesting book after a horrible reading slump and suddenly you can feel the sun shining again and the sky is more beautiful than ever and birds are all singing songs to you
When Eddie first starts actually hanging out with Steve, Robin is always there, naturally. And Steve just assumes to do the same things he does with Robin for Eddie as well.
One time Eddie and Robin are over and they just came back from swimming in the lake or are freezing their asses off in some way. Steve goes up to change and then comes back holding two sweaters and tosses one at Robin and one at Eddie.
Eddie is very confused
But Robin is a sweater stealer and so Steve has just gotten used to lending his sweaters.
Eddie doesn’t complain. He keeps it and takes it back home with him. It either sits in the back of his pile of clothes or he’ll pull it out when it’s cold (when he misses Steve).
I'm so excited to share this bind that I collabed on with the amazing thelovelyleviathan! Too much to ask by sadstateofaffairs. The cover they designed is absolutely amazing and perfect for this fic! There's so many details! the tickets, the ticket, the feather, the wrap airplane on the spine!
I had a lot of fun with the typeset as well, matching the color theme to the art, plus the little scarf and whiskey scene breaks. I even painted the edges to match and added holographic HTV to the front!
We had a lot of fun reading each others recommendations before finding this one that we both loved. I made each of us a copy and then I was lucky enough to get some of their super cute Steddie Stands which I immediately set up alongside my Steddie Fanbind Shelf.

We’ve been using they/them/their pronouns to indicate a person with unspecified gender for a long ass fucking time. The only reason it’s become a big issue lately is because it can be used as a semi-respectful term for trans and non-binary folks and we can’t have that can we
These fucks are literally trying to change our language to hurt trans/nb folks, and claiming that’s just the way its always been
