Spreading my Steddieonathan/Steddithan propaganda!
This blog will be focused on all things Steddithan/Steddieonathan (polyam ship of Steve Harrington x Eddie Munson x Jonathan Byers) from Stranger Things.
I will be reblogging art/general posts as well as sharing fics that I write/come across.
Eddie loves nicknames/pet names so he calls Jonathan = Jonny/"Bambi" & Steve = Stevie/"Sweetheart"
Steve & Jonathan don't normally use pet names for each other, it's not really their vibe but do on occasion use "babe". (This is also what Steve calls Eddie.)
Jonathan called Eddie "love" on accident one time and Eddie's reaction was so cute that it's now basically the only thing he calls him.
Although the three can't married, Steve & Eddie eventually change their last names to Byers. This was decided because purely by a game of rock, paper, scissors. (They're all secretly happy that "Jonathan Munson" didn't happen.) | (This was a joke in my fic "Have to Have You" but I really like it.)
Eddie & Steve: Very pro-PDA
Jonathan: Easily flustered by the PDA but likes it
Spicy Steddithan Headcanons
Steve & Eddie: Switch/Verse | Jonathan: Bottom
Eddie & Jonathan hooked up before ever going on a date.
Steve & Eddie hooked up on their first date.
Steve & Jonathan hooked up exactly a week after their second date.
Jonathan's sex drive isn't as high as Steve & Eddie's but is very happy to watch.
Steve (obviously) likes to be manhandled, roughhousing with Eddie & Jonathan almost always ends up in sex.
Steve: 100% has a praise kink, Eddie & Jonathan actively use this knowledge against him. (A little "good boy" here, "You're doing so good" there, always during moments where Steve can't just kiss them to shut them up.)
Jonathan: Has both a praise kink and a mild degradation kink. Steve takes care of the praise while Eddie takes care of the degradation. (It felt too real coming from Steve, neither enjoy it.)
Eddie: Biting kink, he's a fukin vampire. Steve & Jonathan are happy to participate but have had to convince him to leave marks in places that can be covered.
Being a photographer, Jonathan is always behind the camera so there aren't a lot of pictures of him... Except for in Steddie's private collection which contains multiple photos of Jonathan on his knees.
Eddie: Very loud during sex, ends up with his mouth covered a lot if it's outside the bedroom.
Steve: Quiet but specifically in the "whispers and moans directly into your ear" kind of way.
Jonathan: Does his best to stay at an "appropriate" volume, results in whimpering.
If there aren't a pair of lips on his/something keeping his mouth busy, Eddie can and will have a whole conversation during sex.
Eddie & Jonathan will have sex in the back of Steve's car, Steve is very thankful he's not an easily distracted driver.
Childhood friends to more Steddithan (Feat. Argyle)
Eddie, Steve & Jonathan meeting at the park and becoming friends.
Their moms always having to schedule play dates because their sons cannot stop talking about each other.
As they get older, lives get harder and more complicated.
Eddie loses his mom, his dad becomes an asshole, but Steve and Jonathan are always there for him.
Jonathan is forced into a parental role due to Lonnie's absence but Steve and Eddie are always happy to help babysit Will and his friends.
Eddie being the oldest means he goes to HS first but still makes time for his friends.
Steve gets popular in HS, slowly drifting apart from Eddie and Jonathan due to peer pressure.
Eddie and Jonathan try to stay close but when rumors about their relationship start to stir, they stop hanging out at school.
Soon they stop hanging out all together.
Jonathan and his family move to California, he went to go say goodbye to Eddie but not Steve.
He kisses Eddie but leaves before the man could even process what happened.
Steve was obviously upset when he found but couldn't be mad due to his choice of ditching them first.
Steve somehow gets roped into being the town babysitter, which causes him and Eddie to see each other more often due to Dustin, Mike and Lucas all joining Eddie's D&D group.
Steve allows them to play at his house because he was really tired of driving to the HS at night.
Steve does not gaf about D&D but grows fond of how Eddie gets into character every session.
One night after the kids go home, Eddie is still packing up his stuff when Steve hugs him and starts apologizing for everything he can possibly think of.
He makes the mistake of kissing Eddie.
Eddie confesses that he and Jonathan have been dating since the night before Jonathan moved away.
Steve now thinks he's not only a bad friend but also a homewrecker.
A few awkward days go by, Jonathan is in town to visit. Apparently everyone knew about his and Eddie's relationship except for Steve.
Jonathan is being so nice to him and Steve can't stand it. He tells Jonathan that he kissed Eddie.
Eddie already told Jonathan.
Jonathan just asks if Steve is going to take Eddie on a date, says it's rude to kiss him but not take him on a date.
Steve is confused af.
Jonathan explains that he's also dating a guy named Argyle back in Cali.
Steve learns about the concept of open relationships.
Steve does in fact take Eddie on a date. They start a relationship.
Argyle and Steve meet and become friends but that's it.
Eddie is chill with Argyle but is not dating him.
Jonathan and Steve have more of a FWB relationship.
The selfishness in me, would love to see a Steddithan date at the county fair, because I think it would fun and cute and chaotic.
Please and thank you and no pressure if you don’t want to. ☺️
Ask and you shall receive! (I've never actually been to a county fair.)
I failed to keep this under 1k words.
Title: Three's (NOT) a Crowd | Words: 2,278
AO3 ver. (I liked it enough to post it there)
Steve was nervous, more nervous than he had ever been for a date before. Sure, he'd been on plenty of dates with girls—and was always a gentleman—but he had never been on a date with a guy, and now he was on his way to the county fair with not just one but two guys.
Finding out that Eddie and Jonathan were dating wasn't that surprising to Steve. What was surprising was them asking him on a date.
He was so eager to say yes that he didn't even consider how public the date would be, and now he was hoping he wouldn't embarrass himself or them.
˖˚˖ 。✧☾✧。˖˚˖
Picking the first activity was easy; they all agreed to start with the calmest choice, which was the fun house. A room of trick mirrors that made everyone look silly, was exactly what Steve needed to ease his worries.
“Stevie, do you like bumper cars?” Eddie questioned, wrapping his arm around Steve's shoulders. “Jonny doesn't like them, so I never have anyone to go with.”
Jonathan scoffed playfully. “You don't like heights, so I never get to go on the Ferris wheel.”
“Well, I like both,” Steve replied, trying his best to stay calm about the sudden closeness of Eddie. “So we can do both if you want.”
“See, I told you he'd be up for both,” Jonathan said to Eddie, grinning.
So Steve joined Eddie on the bumper cars, Jonathan watching and laughing when Eddie spent most of his time chasing Steve around.
“You do realize that it's just bumper cars, right?” Steve asked as they made their way back to Jonathan.
“That asshole hit you like five times,” Eddie exclaimed. “He deserved to be flipped off.”
“Okay, if you say so.” Steve grinned, kissing Eddie's cheek without thinking. “Thank you for defending my honor.”
“Oh, there's that Harrington charm,” Eddie teased.
“Sorry—”
“Don't apologize, I liked it.” Eddie smiled, kissing Steve's cheek in return, although he was not-so-subtly looking at his lips as he pulled away.
“Get a room,” Jonathan joked, being pulled closer by Eddie.
“It's only our first date, Bambi.” Eddie gently kissed his lips. “I'm not that easy.”
“Our first date would disagree,” Jonathan whispered, grabbing Steve's hand and pulling him towards the Ferris wheel. “Come on, I'll tell you all about Eddie's lack of willpower.”
“I heard that,” Eddie stated, following along.
Steve looked at Jonathan curiously. “Bambi?”
Jonathan shook his head. “Don't ask; I haven't gotten a reason from him about it either.”
“It's cute; I like it.” Steve smiled.
Jonathan rolled his eyes, laughing. “Shut up.”
˖˚˖ 。✧☾✧。˖˚˖
As Steve and Jonathan rode the Ferris wheel, Jonathan told Steve all about his and Eddie's first date and how horribly it started off.
Steve couldn't help but laugh at the mention of Eddie being so nervous he tripped over his own feet. If the man was nervous now, he was doing an excellent job at hiding it.
“Don't let the heavy metal look fool you,” Jonathan stated. “He becomes… Mush, when alone. It was his idea to come to the fair; more people being around helps his willpower.”
Steve raised a brow. “And what was your idea?”
“To watch movies at one of our houses and not practice any form of willpower.”
“That's—” Steve cleared his throat. “That's kind of unexpected coming from you.”
“Really?” Jonathan tilted his head. “I thought a quiet at-home date made perfect sense for my personality.”
“Not the part I meant, Byers.”
“Well, I figured we've already had each other pinned down in a fight, so the position would already be familiar, although I guess technically Eddie had you—”
Steve kissed him; this time it was a very conscious choice, something he should've done years prior.
“W-what was I talking about?” Jonathan stammered.
“No idea,” Steve replied. “Honestly, I stopped listening after ‘pinned down’”
The two laughed, the ride coming to an end, and Eddie cleared his throat to get their attention.
“Kissin’ my boyfriend already?” Eddie teased. “And after I defended your honor.”
Jonathan leaned over to whisper something to Steve.
Eddie stared at them. “Wait, what did you just tell him?”
“Nothing,” Jonathan replied, walking over to Eddie and patting his shoulder. “You have absolutely nothing to worry about.”
“Which means I have everything to worry about.” Eddie looks at Steve, tilting his head. “What did he tell you?”
Steve just shook his head, pulling Eddie into a hug and nuzzling his face against the man's neck; he could feel Eddie take a deep breath, seemingly trying to compose himself before wrapping his arms around Steve.
“You told him why I picked this place?” Eddie gasped.
Jonathan shrugged. “Not my fault you want to torture yourself.”
“You can just be yourself, Eddie,” Steve mumbled against his neck. “I already like you.”
“I just didn't want your first date, with us, to be an absolute mess,” Eddie confessed.
“First dates are always an absolute mess, babe,” Jonathan added.
“That's true,” Steve agreed. “First time I went on a date with a girl after getting my license… her dress got caught in the door after I shut it.”
“Oh, Sweetheart,” Eddie tried his best to resist laughing. “That's really…”
“Embarrassing?” Steve asked, breaking away from the hug. “I know, but it's funny now and as nervous as I was about today—” Steve leaned close and kissed Eddie gently on the lips. “I'm having a lot of fun.”
Eddie pulled him closer, kissing him again before smiling. “Second one was payment for kissin’ my boyfriend,” he teased.
“Now that we've gotten that out of the way,” Jonathan looked at Steve. “Your turn to pick something, anything you want.”
“Anything?” Steve repeated.
Eddie nodded. “It can even be as sickeningly cute and cliché as you want.”
˖˚˖ 。✧☾✧。˖˚˖
Steve took that ‘as sickeningly cute and cliché as you want’ maybe a bit too seriously, deciding on playing balloon darts after having spotted two specific stuffed animals that reminded him of his dates.
After a few attempts—and encouragement from Eddie and Jonathan—Steve managed to win said stuffed animals, a bat for Eddie and a deer for Jonathan.
“You're really not going to forget about “Bambi” are you?” Jonathan asked.
Steve chuckled and shook his head. “Nope, sorry, it's in my mind forever.”
“It looks just like you; it's the eyes,” Eddie stated. “And if you get him all flustered, he literally looks like a deer in headlights.”
“That's why??” Jonathan gaped.
Steve stared at him for a moment, slowly nodding his head. “You know what? I think you're right.”
“I do not look like a deer!” Jonathan exclaimed.
“That's too bad,” Steve replied. “In case you haven't noticed, I really like pretty doe-like eyes.”
“Pre—” Jonathan just stared at him in silence.
Eddie leaned over to Steve. “Told ya so, deer in headlights.”
