"OSWDLS" Oh, so we DO love Steve...

This fic has quite literally changed my life. If you're looking for a long-standing fic with impeccable writing that just so happens to have an apocalypse!au then this is the possibly the greatest one ever written. In fact, check out everything Misha has written, you won't be disappointed.

A reader insert fic that covers every ST season. Reader is an absolute badass that you're sure to fall in love with. I was shocked to discover this fic so late, it's my new obsession.
because of you

Every single fic on this blog is sublime, but I had to pick one and this was my introduction. Enemies to lovers done right!!! Set in ST4, forced interactions that lead to requited feelings. Do I even need to say more?
Adventures in Babysitting

Reader insert that will instantly have you hooked! Acquaintances to lovers, a dash of slow-burn, and the perfect pace <3
The Roommate Agreement

Modern!au where Reader moves in with her brother, Eddie, and Steve. Each chapter felt like an episode of my favourite show, highly recommended!!
Sweet Child of Mine

A new tale that explores Terry Ives awakening amidst the setting of ST5. This fic is already occupying space in my mind, as I'm sure it will for you. It also provides a beautiful insight into El/Jane's mind that we didn't get to see in ST5. - not a Steve x reader fic, I just love it
I'll Be There For You
written by @supernovafics | ongoing
Based on the tv show 'Friends', this roomate!au features a friends to lovers arc that will have you feeling giddy in the best way!
Like It's Love?

Soulmate!au where Steve and Reader find eachother in every life - this series is already heartbreaking but written so beautifully!

Set post ST4, Steve is grieving over Reader but soon discovers he doesn’t have to move on. I was so utterly captivated by this fic it felt like I was transported into another realm.

Set immediately after the Battle of Starcourt, Reader shows up for Steve when he has no one else - I genuinely bawled my eyes out.
I will be back to update more! As for now, I hope you enjoy reading!
