Eric, about Jackie: Are you telling me that all those years that you put dish water in her drinks and changed her lip balm for glue stick and called her a brat, you were flirting?
I’m feeling a bit controversial so I have a hot take: I don’t like that 90s show at all! It’s like a horrible Disney show (yes, I rewatched some Disney shows and realized how horrible the acting and characters were). It’s only about the kids… WHO NAMES THEIR CHILD AFTER SOMEONE THEY HAD SEXUAL FANTASIES ABOUT (cough cough, ERIC!)… actors aren’t good either except maybe Ozzy’s character. Jokes delivered poorly and they’re so reused. And bye bye to all of Jackie’s character development by going back to KELSO! No true T70S stan wanted Jackie and Kelso together, writers definitely only did it because Mila and Ashton are together in real life. I can go on and on. Overall, not impressed by the show.
Summary- Halloween is right around the corner, and this year it’s Erics turn to pick costumes.
Warnings- fluff, cheesy romance, fem reader
You sat in the Forman’s basement flipping through the style catalog that Jackie brought over for you to borrow. You always tried to at least look decent, Jackie would always gripe about your and Donna’s style, but you brushed it off because you knew whatever you wore she would have some kind of opinion on it, you still loved her though.
It was quiet until a scream came from Jackie then a bunch of laughter following after, “Michael!” You look over towards her to find Kelso taking off a cheap Halloween store mask, Hyde with Elvis shades on with the sideburns attached, and Eric holding a bag with two costumes in it.
“What’s that?” You ask him, nodding your head to the bag, he smirked, “Ours Halloween costumes.” Oh god, you totally forgot he was in charge of costume planning this year, you did not trust him at all, last year you forced him to be Tommy while you were Carrie. He pulled the costumes out of the bag and showed you a Han Solo and a Princess Leia Costume, it wasn’t terrible.
“I can work with that,” You turn to Jackie and point at her, “You, my very fashionable friend, will be doing my hair.” She claps in excitement; you knew you wouldn’t be able to do your hair like Leias by yourself. Eric jumps over the couch and throws an arm around you, “What are our plans for Halloween anyway?” Donna asks, you guys obviously weren’t going Trick or Treating, you all knew for a fact the adult would turn you down for being “too old.”
“Dad was thinking about closing down Grooves for a Halloween party
thing, he’s only letting a certain amount of people in.” Hyde informed us, we all smiled at each other, now knowing what you all were going to do for Halloween.

You, Donna, and Jackie all say in a circle on Donna’s bedroom floor, “You’re not actually going to wear that costume, are you?” Jackie asked you, taking another puff from the join Donna handed to her. You shrugged, “I actually think it’s really cute, Leia and Han are such a power couple.” Jackie rolled her eyes in response to yours.
“What are you and Kelso gonna do?” Donna asked her, she smiled like she was about to blow us away by her idea, “Daphne and Fred.” You and Donna just looked at each other and laughed, “What’s so funny?”
“Well, they’re like super complicated, and Fred just kind of, I don’t know, is dumb and ignores her, kind of like you and Kelso.” You tell her, causing Donna to burst out laughing again. Jackie huffed out and got up and walked to the bathroom, you turn to look at Donna who’s now rolling on the floor, “You should look for someone at the party on Halloween.”
She calms down and looks at you, “I don’t know, all of my relationships have been so bad.”
“Yeah but, you won’t know unless you try, right?”

You were in Erics bathroom, everyone was getting ready together before you all headed to Grooves. Jackie had already stuck like 20 bobby pins in your hair just for the first bun, she was doing a really good job, better that you could’ve done, so you weren’t complaining.
Donna walked in dressed up as Wonder Woman, “Oh my God, Donna you look hot!” You compliment me her was she laughs, “Stop moving.” Jackie says, she has bobby pins held between her teeth so it’s hard to make out what she said.”
She sticks the last bobby pin in, “There! All done!” Jackie smiles at her work, “This looks awesome, Thanks Jackie.” You get up from the stool and leave the bathroom as the girls follow behind, all the boys are down in the basement waiting for you guys. Hyde was wearing the same thing he was wearing earlier in the week, a normal out fit with Elvis sideburn sunglasses.
“Are you guys ready or are we going to sit in the basement all night?” Donna asks them, they all turn towards you guys while getting up, then everyone walks outside to the car to finally be getting on the way.
You’re all smooshed in the car; Hyde is flooring the gas so the limit of people doesn’t get before you guys. He pulls in the parking lot of the record store, thankfully there aren’t a lot of cars parked just yet, everyone piles out of the car, Eric puts an arm around you and kisses your cheek, “You look awesome.” You smile at him, “Thank you babe, just don’t ruin my hair.” You warn him.
He unwraps his arm and puts both of them up to “surrender.” The store looks great, Angie did a great job, she’s in the corner of the store setting up drinks, she dressed up as Catwoman. She noticed Hyde and the gang come in and walks up to greet you all, “So? What do think?”
“It looks great!” You tell her, she smiles at you and kisses your cheek and walks off.

You all got to this party at roughly 9:00, it was no 1 in the morning. Hyde insisted on staying at the store to help out his siter in cleaning up for the workday, so everyone left without him. You hopped in the front seat with Eric, sliding close to his side, he dropped everyone off at their places instead of taking them back to his place, you were the only one he took back home.
You both tried to hardest to be quiet when walking into the basement, not wake up his parents, scratch that, wake up Red. He grabbed you hand once your feet hit the floor, dragging you to the couch, you guys had had a few drinks that night, not too many so Hydes dad wouldn’t go bazerk.
Eric was still a little tipsy though, now that you thought about it, letting him drive everyone home wasn’t the best idea. He glided his lips up to yours, bringing you in to a soft kiss, you obviously kissed back, he wasn’t terribly drunk.
After a few minutes of making out you both quietly headed upstairs to his bedroom, you told him no funny business, you were too tired to let anything escalate. You sat down in front of a mirror you accidently left over at his house last week, taking out all the bunches of bobby pins Jackie put in your hair, it surprisingly stayed up all night.
He didn’t even try to get out of his Han costume, he instead walked over to you, you looked up at him and gave him a peck,
“I love you.”
Eric has alway been my go to for that 70s show boys, and he has like little to no fics, now that 90s show is pretty popular i decided to feed onto that, also how would yall feel about a Nate or Gwen Runck fic?
🎬Two Navajo police officers join hands to look for clues and uncover the secrets behind a brutal double murder while battling their own demons and beliefs.
📝A beautiful slow burner. It reminded me of 'Mystery Road', beautiful scenery, a remote community, and small police force and a murder mystery.
If you are looking for a fast action packed show then you may be disappointed, but if you enjoy watching something different, and a slow burner then this is worth checking out.
