Oh look! Another day mashing my hyperfixations together like it's my job! So here's my piece for the Reverse Billy Big Bang hosted by @billybigbang: An Iron Lung x Stranger Thing AU because who's gonna stop me uh. I had the honor to work with @spaceofentropy who blessed my ass with AN AMAZING FANFIC you can read right here, if you want to see some blood-flavored Harringrove. PLEASE go check it out!!
I never know what to write in these posts, so this one too will be a half-mess, yay!
When I signed up for the 2026 Reverse Billy Big Bang (hi, @billybigbang!), I had no idea I would end up teaming up with the talented @king-vecnass once again, after our collaboration last year, but here we are, almost 365 days later, back at it again!
This time it's a Harringrove fic, in which the boys are thrown into the joyous (???) world of an Iron Lung AU. There's cosmic horror, and sci-fi, and blood. So much blood. Literal oceans of blood.

Synopsis: Billy is sealed inside a submarine, at the bottom of an impossible ocean of blood, on a moon that should be barren. He has thirty minutes to retrieve data from a wreck and bring it to his rendez vous point with Steve. Billy should be dead, but he wants to live too much to allow small things like monsters and breached hulls to stop him.
Read it on ao3 here (https://archiveofourown.org/works/87658006), and go look at Vecnass' art here!
Title from a Confrontational's song that says "1980s and horror" and I love a lot, and which has the lyrics...
You can't afford to lose no time / When everybody's on the line [...] You know she's hiding there somewhere / Deep in the corners of your head [...] You know she's only meant to kill / Yet you can't help the way you feel [...] Tonight you know you're bound to lose it all / So don't you live and die on the air / Don't kill yourself for all to see / And don't you love and die on the air / Just burn away the memories
... which you'll know make total sense with the fic once you read it. So, hop on to ao3 and give it a read, come on! You know you want to read it! :3
