Unpopular Opinion of my Choice!

I'm gonna start with a strong opinion.

I don't think Will and Mike are good together. I don't ship them, and have never seen the appeal honestly.

Fires broke out across Hawkins as Steve stared on in horror. They had made it to the ridge, and he could see emergency pyres starting to light along the wall. All you could hear were screams and the twang of weapons as muffled orders were shouted down the line. “They’re not going to get there in time…” Robin said in horror, standing beside Steve as they both looked at their home. She was right. Protocol indicated that all personnel would be at the gate where the Red Saints were, and only a small crew would be at the other entrances. The whole point of a wall was to ring the alarm, not to take on a swarm of infected who came out of nowhere. None of them had ever seen demo-bats either, they’d never had enemies that could just fly over the wall—Hawkins was totally unprepared. “We have to get in there…” Steve said, in a daze, as his feet started moving toward the town. “We need a plan, Steve!” Nancy yelled, following after him anyway. Steve wasn’t thinking about a plan. All he was thinking about were all those people locked inside the walls with nothing to protect themselves with. The kids, Robin’s mom, Nancy’s family, Hopper, Joyce, Dustin—you weren’t allowed weapons inside the walls.

A body swap AU? Hello????? I'm supposed to ask you a question about the fics you posted. How "Scooby-Doo Movie" is the body swap? (As in, Daphne and Fred body swapping in that live-action movie).

I have many secret fics I've posted nothing about lol Well, I think I posted about it once but uhh...

ANYWAY

Now that you've reminded me of the Scooby-Doo movie bodyswap the fic feels a little cursed.... They're gonna be in each others bodies for a hot minute so there is some.... adjustments they'll have to get used to but rest assured, Steve is not immediately going to start feeling Robin up unlike Fred did to Daphne.

Except, it doesn't. The sensation of be unanchored gets worse, and now it comes accompanied with loss of time. Steve will feel the tilt and shift while standing in the doorway to his room and the next thing he knows he's got a hand on his front door, keys in his hand, and doesn't know where he was trying to go.

Reading your notes on your last post. Saaaaaaammmeee tho. Didn't ship Steve with anyone until S4. Just accepted the cannon stuff as background noise but then Eddie and..... yeah.

Right!? And same! I watched ST because I like the show. Not enough to join the fandom about it, but enough to get excited for a new season.

But then Eddie. Whom I love Eddie SO MUCH

There's just something about Steve and Eddie's shared jealousy of Dustin's affection that altered my brain chemistry honestly. I didn't start to ship them until their walk in the upside down, where Eddie confirmed that Dustin talks about Steve. (A lot apparently).

Then i was like Oh! Both these boys just want Dustin to be their bestie. THEN the 'dontcha big boy' scene happened and I was like. I ship it. I want these boys to realize they can both have Dustin in their lives and also each other.

What's Right Plus Seven?

Oh, the progress feels good.

Jesus Christ, he's turning into Robin with all this catastrophizing he's doing. He and Eddie said they'd be honest with each other, so Steve needs to stop putting his insecurities onto Eddie, and words into his mouth, until he and Eddie get to talk. He busies himself with cleaning up after the party. He starts outside, because it's not summer yet and he doesn't want to be scrubbing the barbecue too late into the night. The barbecue gets scrubbed, streamers get taken down, and he's working on collecting up the other decorations when he hears Eddie's van coming down the street; a sound he's come acquainted with.

No Regrets

Comin' right up! :D

"Fuck," Steve says, following after Dustin back in the direction he came from. There they find Lucas, sitting up against the wall. His leg's not visibly broken, it's not jutting out at an odd angle or anything, so that's good. Or, well, better than it could have been. "Wait. Where's Eddie?" Robin asks. "Wait. He's not with you?" Dustin answers, and Steve feels like he's been doused in ice water suddenly. "He left to head back, get help. He said he's stay on the road!" "We didn't see anyone on the road," Hopper says. "El?" "I am on it," El says, eyes closing.
