DANI I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR S2 STEDDIE FIC I'M BEGGING YOU!!! (I have such a weakness for S2 Steve he can be so personal and I need to know all your steddie thoughts on it pleaseeee) 🫶
SANDY HIIII 💜💜💜 you've got it love! These are the asks where I've posted snippets so far: (x) (x)
You're so right! S2 Steve is everything to me I swear. Which is why I decided he needed to meet Robin a year earlier (so they could do high school shenanigans and be gay together), and of course add Eddie, because I always need more Eddie. I love the hype for this one because I got all weirded out thinking no one would care because a. it's pre-relationship pining and b. I already posted the S3 rewrite 😭 BUT now I'm excited to finish it and start sharing it!!
(Also it needs a title and it's now occurring to me that I should go find some FOB lyrics shouldn't I?)
ANYWAY have another snippet, because you deserve some of the boys flirting at Tina's Halloween Party:
Steve didn’t have to ruminate on the exchange for long before Eddie’s eyes landed on him across the kitchen. Steve wasn’t really sure how, but his socked feet started carrying him towards Eddie without his having to think about it. He figured that was a good thing, because he was too busy feeling every inch of his skin heat up from the way Eddie kept staring to remember how his limbs worked.
“As I live and breathe,” Eddie actually whistled as he looked Steve over from head to toe, and Robin did a very poor job of holding back a snort. So she was moving with him, then. Good to know. “Risky Business?”
“Mhmm,” Steve confirmed, wondering if the way he felt hot all over was showing on his bare legs.
Steve needed a minute to take in Eddie’s “costume,” considering it was basically exactly what Eddie wore every other day—ripped jeans, combat boots instead of Reeboks tonight, some band t-shirt, a flannel, and a leather jacket on top. The only addition was a pair of sparkling red devil’s horns that sat atop his head, and some smudged eyeliner that left Steve needing to swallow before he could spit out any coherent words.
“Satan?” Steve guessed. Eddie smiled and twisted around to show off the spiked tail he’d also put on for the occasion. Steve nearly choked at the sight, just barely escaping Eddie’s notice since he was turned around. Then he pulled out a little pitchfork he had hiding in his back pocket, waving it back and forth for Steve’s approval. Steve could feel exactly how dry his mouth was as he said, “Works for you.”
“I thought so,” Eddie gave Steve a wicked grin to match. He snuck another glance at Steve’s thighs, then added, “You pull that off better than Tom Cruise.”
Robin, whom Steve had honestly forgotten about already, scoffed and rolled her eyes a little too dramatically before informing him she was going to find Barb.
That left just Steve and Eddie, hanging out by the drinks table and looking each other up and down. There was something electric about standing this close to him, outside of the drab backdrop of Hawkins High. Even in school, Steve could feel that tingle at the back of his neck whenever Eddie was paying attention to him above anyone else. But here it felt more like a jolt through every nerve ending in Steve’s body, trying to entice his hands to reach out and touch Eddie in the search for more.
Lena wakes on the Daxamite ship. Her confusion shifts to horror when she realizes she's been changed into a long dark gown, a far cry from the sensible clothes she'd worn to the lab that morning.
When Rhea prods her to the window to see the chaos raging in National City below, dread pools in the bottom of her stomach, mingling with the fear already there. As Rhea finishes revealing her grand plan, Lena draws away from her.
"You're insane--"
In an instant, Lena's voice evaporates into nothing but air. Panic fills her as she tries again, only to have nothing but breath pass her lips.
Rhea tsks, withdrawing a small device from her robes, no bigger than a key fob.
"Now is that any way to speak to your future mother in law?" She wiggles the device between her fingers, and Lena quickly deduces that whatever has stolen her voice, it has everything to do with the tiny remote. "Not to mention your queen."
Lena glares, defiant. Though her heart thunders with fear, and the sudden powerlessness of silence, she refuses to give Rhea the gratification of seeing it.
Unexpectedly, Rhea presses the button again, and something in Lena's throat tickles. She coughs, and her voice returns. Before she can form a single word, Rhea leans in close, her hand still on Lena's cheek.
"I would be very careful about what you say next," the Daxamite queen murmurs dangerously. "Or else you will find your life here far less pleasant."
Lena's jaw clenches, betraying her rage.
"Supergirl will stop you."
Rhea draws away, but her features remain smug.
"Supergirl has her hands full," she returns evenly.
She gives Lena a slow smirk.
"Even if she were inclined to save the woman who paved the way for Earth's first alien invasion."
For those who are confused by this (which is probably everyone on this site), basically I’m doing a tts S2 rewrite over on AO3. And since both Varian, Angry and Red join the crew in that one, I decided to make some changes to the character designs.
The sketches aren’t exactly good, but I guess it should at least make clear what I’m going for.
Catalina’s new “practical” hairstyle. (at least it’s more practical than hip long open hair)
Varian’s new travel attire and new equipment. Turns out I don’t only suck at drawing people, but also weapons.
Probably gonna upload the colored versions sometime the next days. But for now I really need to figure out how to add pictures to the appropriate chapters.
