If you wanna be my lover, you better get with my... Dog? 🐶

"She's called Dog?"

"No!" Steve defends, letting his Dog go and watching as she runs to a blanket that's in front of the small fireplace, probably laid there specially for her if the paws motif is a sign. "It's Dog Spice. Like, y'know, the Spice Girls? Ginger Spice, Baby Spice, but… Dog."

"Uh, I have a Dog. I mean, a dog whose name is Dog." Eddie scratches the back of his neck and Max rolls eyes at him.

the Hallmark movie energy going on here...

When Eddie looks up, it's like a cheap movie. Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer starts to play right as his eyes are drawn to Steve Harrington as he rushes downstairs, all ugly sweater, beautiful mop of auburn hair, thirty something years of handsome glory. He kneels besides Eddie– no, wait, he kneels besides the dog, and is about to say something when she decides she's got enough of them and bolts to the street covered in snow.

"Ah, fuck! Spicey!" Steve shouts, getting up and running after the happy creature.

🎄Well I have to help a fellow CC fan, right? :)

always! ❤️ thank you for the help, the words are wording!!! we're making it through december! 🎄

There's a lot of people, a lot to catch on. Eddie pretends he doesn't remember the news he received from cards and letters. Maybe they won't feel awkward about the lack of answers if they think he never got anything. But he did. He knows Jeff got his PhD from last fall, that Gareth teaches physics in Hawkins High, that Mike and Will have been living together since 95, that Dustin does research for MIT and is dating Jane, that Robin is in Japan with her girlfriend Corey, that Doug's eldest, Rhiannon, lost her first baby tooth last summer. He has all this information stored in a part of his heart that aches from time to time.

I made a lot of progress on this one today! thanks for the push ❤️

"Please tell me you still play" he asks, with pleading happy eyes that gives Eddie a flash of the teenage boys they used to be "it would be awesome if we jammed together."

When they part, the promise of playing music again lingers on, to see if they still got it.

🎄 let's get this one started!

it starts bittersweet as only December can be! ❤️🎄

It's been fourteen years since his high school graduation. In a few days, a new century will color the sky with fireworks and people's hearts with expectations. Not only a new year, a whole new century. It's a lot. And they want him there. After all this time, after countless unanswered Christmas cards, numerous phone calls cut short, many invitations politely declined, they still want him there.

So, there’s a December fic I’m writing and I’d like you to help me choose a baby name 🧡💛

I would like you to be as connected to this story as possible, so selecting a name you’d like seems to be a pretty important part of establishing that attachment :)

(I’ll be reblogging this every few days so take your time deciding—it should be open for a week!)

Which name do you like the most?

Hazel

Ivy

Valerie (after Velaris)

Elliot

Lyrian
