Anyone 18+. Minors following the accounts will be soft-blocked.
What kind of content can I post?
Anything goes! We're not here to restrict creativity. Interpret the prompts however you see fit.
Please use appropriate ratings and warnings/tags, particularly for commonly triggering content such as underage sex, sexual assault, incest, graphic violence, character death, etc.
AI-generated works are banned and will result in a block.
What ships can I post about?
This is an anti-censorship event, therefore any pairing is allowed, including polyships and genderbent characters. We also allow crossovers from other media, original characters, and 'x reader.'

In 2025 I posted 119,176 words on AO3 adding up to a total of 39 works. I managed to not only finish my first-ever multi-chaptered fic, but then proceeded to post three additional long-form fics throughout the year! Really felt like I was coming into my own as a writer this year.
Also started participating in some events and had a blast with the 2025 Steddie Big Bang, Switch Eddie Week 2025, and the Stranger Things Mermay Week. Can't wait to participate in a few more over the next few months!

In 2026 I'd like to complete:
🏔️Steddie winter exchange fic
🖌️Reverse big bang fic
🦭Expanding the ties that bind into a proper selkie!Eddie steddie fic
In 2026 I'd like to start:
I am definitely going to focus on these WIPs right now, but I do have another installment in Eddie's terrible erotica in the ideas stage that I'd like to get to at some point. I would also love to write another FxF fic starring Robin, and have some ideas percolating :)
Also want to shout out to @strangerthingswritersguild and to all of my betas for this year:
@hbyrde36 @vthx @hitlikehammers @cloudsurfing42 @little-annie
@dame-zoom-a-latte @midwestharpy
Y'all made my fics that much stronger and for that I thank you <3
Tagging some folks below but if my swiss cheese mind forgot and you see this, consider yourself tagged!
I was tagged this week by @shelleyminx and @mission2mordor, thank you beloveds! It's been a bit since I've been in a space to actively participate, so I'm looking forward to it this weekend!
So send me an ask with an emoji below (one emoji type per ask, but as many asks as you like!) and I'll write 3-5 sentences/paragraphs and then share a little bit!
☃️- Steddie Winter Exchange - Redacted, but will share a snippet of one of the fics in "non-active" rotation.
🐕- Steve Harrington, Dog Dad (Reluctant) - Doing a bit of a rework to be S5 compliant (Eddie Lives Version), Stommie endgame
👩👩👦 - Stranger Moms - S5 AU to focus on Liz Harrington, Claudia Henderson and all the party Moms. Main pairing Liz/Claudia. Side pairings: Wayne/Scott Clarke, Steddie, others TBD.
🐉- There's A Dragon In My Closet - AU after S4, magical realism AU. Dustin turns himself into a dragon. Eddie and Steve have to figure it out.
🤸♂️- Yeet Aerobics - Otherwise coming to be known as the fic where Jess takes Steve, Eddie, Chrissy, Robin, and all sorts of minor characters, tosses them into Starcourt during S3, and is going to see what happens. Steddissy, Robin/Heather Holloway, Carol Perkins/Ronnie Ecker, other pairings TBD. Will involve canon elements from S3, maybe S4 and beyond.
I have quite the backlog for a few projects, so I'm not going to put them in active rotation, but I will be clearing out some asks for: 🏰Attic Shenanigans, ⚔️A Knight's Tale AU, 🛼Operation: Hot Racks, and ⚾Second Chance At First Love (and Third Base).
The last two are currently posting on AO3. Hot Racks is up to Chapter 6, and Second Chance is up to Chapter 3!
Snippet from 🤸♂️- Yeet Aerobics, no pressure tags, and divider credit under the break!
"Fine. Deal." They shook again. "And look." He gestured towards a trio of very lovely coeds who were looking between Scoops and the Pretzel place across the food court. He adjusted his sailor hat, gave them a little ahoy, there wave. They looked at each other, and he couldn't make out their expressions but their body language was all green for go. They turned towards the shop.
He glanced over at Robin as the girls approached the counter as a unit, and winked. "Don't worry Buckley, I've got this. You just sit there and watch the King in action." Then, despite not feeling like flirting, he pushed down the bad mood that had been following him all morning, relaxed his shoulders, eased his smile into something more charming, pulled forward the confident and smooth Steve Harrington he'd almost been once upon a time.

Bella @bilbosmom-belladonna said she was getting into Stommy so I thought I'd do a fic rec list of my faves!!
This is by no means an exhaustive list, please feel free to post more Stommy recs in the replies!
If you're a Steddie shipper and you are just warming up to the idea of letting Tommy infiltrate your OTP try these Stommie (Steve, Tommy, Eddie - aka Frog Stack) Fics:
movie night by pizzabones aka @glitterfang
Post S4 | Rated E | 9k | One Shot
This is a series with 2 parts so far, with a 3rd one on the way
Nightly demodog attacks, a town that's held together by duct tape and sheer pettiness, a scrappy group of survivors living in Hawkins high and one, Tommy Hagan.
After coming home to Hawkins to check on his family and running into a fair bit of trouble, Tommy manages to find himself roommates with none other than Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson. It's actually not that bad all things considered. At least there's still porn at the end of the world.

Body Swap | Rated E | 38k | 4/4 Chapters
When he makes it to the small clearing, quick footsteps come up behind him, and before he can turn around, someone tries to shove him. Astonishingly, his center of gravity is on his side and he plants his feet in time, holding his ground. Spinning around, he puts his fists up and freezes when he sees himself panting and angry with fists clenched to his sides.
“Woah, trippy,” Eddie remarks. Tommy dressed him poorly today—the absence of his battle vest is going to draw a lot of attention from his comrades.
“What the fuck did you do to me, freak?!”
“Tommy?” Eddie doublechecks, hopeful that their game of musical bodies is only between the two of them and not some other third party.
“Yes! Did you fucking curse me? What the shit is this?!”
-----
Eddie Munson and Tommy Hagan don't like each other and they don't have anything in common - or at least, that's what they think until one morning, they each wake up in the other's body.
MORE RECS BELOW THE CUT!
pretty secrets we share in the dark by poopypantsbennett aka @dontcallmeeds
PWP | Rated E | 3k | One Shot
Then, a throat clears from the back of bedroom and Tommy’s entire universe becomes hell frozen over.
Steve scrambles away from Tommy, takes his hand back. The loss of touch makes Tommy have to bite back a whine.
“Well, don’t stop on my accord,” a somewhat familiar voice comes from a plume of smoke by the window.
(Or Tommy and Steve get caught by everyone’s favorite stoner, Eddie Munson)
And the boy who loves you the wrong way is filthy by whateverokayFINE aka @batmunson666
PWP | Rated E | 4.5k | One Shot
This is in a series with 2 parts so far
“You wanna kiss him?” Eddie’s voice is warm on his neck. The sun was starting to set.
“Yeah.”
or
Tommy Hagan goes over to Eddie Munson's trailer to buy weed, sees that he’s not alone and the guy that he’s been in love with for years has been keeping his drug dealer company.
friend, love, freefall by @becomingfoxes
Rated E | 10k | One Shot
Plus there's some really lovely art in the fic!
Eddie leans into his face; his big, stupid, chocolate bambi eyes wide as he bats his eyelashes at Tommy and says, “Pretty, pretty please.” And really, Tommy tries not to react but he can’t help that his eyes flicker down to Eddie’s lips and back up to his eyes. So he pushes at Eddie, just to get some distance and watches as he flops back onto the bed in a mess of uncoordinated limbs.
“Jesus fuck.” He sniffs, “Sure, okay. We can watch your dumb, creepy doll movie.”
“Yesss.”
And then if you want another fun threesome you can try Stomarol (Steve, Tommy, Carol)
and steve makes three by Adure aka @toburnup
AU | Rated E | 8k | One Shot
"Steve doesn't like me."
Tommy knows better than to lie.
"He'll come around."
He knows that the reason Steve hates Carol is the same reason that Tommy loves her. The same reason he loves Steve, really. They have the same bite, the same oil-slick filthy mouths that get them in trouble. They both smell like hairspray and bubblegum.
They both like Tommy.
And then if you're ready for the full Stommy experience:
hold the line by pizzabones
Post S4 | Rated E | 8k | One Shot
Standing at the precipice of a big change, Steve's dragged to a Hawkins High bonfire by Dustin. It feels like a personal low, showing up to a high school gathering at twenty. Oh well. It's fine, he'll be out of Hawkins soon enough. It just figures that Tommy Hagan, the last person he expected to run into tonight, is also standing in the keg line.
As the poets (Toto) say, "love isn't always on time".
sidelong by Adure
AU | Rated E | 6k | One Shot
Tommy draws his knees up toward him and leans his folded arms on top. He stares, unashamed, at the length of Steve's neck as he looks around. His chin. His nice smile. Tommy's drunker now that they're sitting in the brunt of the sun, and maybe that's why it takes a few extra seconds for him to realize that Steve's stopped talking.
"Is there something on my face?" Steve asks, rubbing his cheek with the back of his hand. He looks confused. And he's waiting, because Tommy is slack-jawed and a little bit in love and he's really, really not ready for this shit.
(Tommy can't help but look, and Steve can't stop catching him.)
here you come again by @cranberrymoons
Post S4 | Rated E | 16k | One Shot
Vaguely, over the sound of a bland pop song playing in the background, he hears the squeak of a pair of sneakers come to a halt at the other end of the aisle. He turns his head toward the sound… and promptly fumbles the tube of Pringles he’d been reaching for. He bats at it with his hand in a futile attempt at catching it, instead knocking it further toward the ground like a spiked volleyball.
He clears his throat.
“Um.” The tube rolls across the linoleum and comes to a stop at Tommy Hagan’s feet. Steve stares at it for a long, agonizing beat of silence, then he looks back up at Tommy’s face. “Sorry.”
Tommy raises his eyebrows, and Steve’s heart kicks in his chest.
Steve and Tommy haven't talked in nearly three years. After everything, maybe the best way forward is back.
no pressure by Adure
No Upside Down AU | Rated E | 11k | One Shot
Steve Harrington has the worst porn collection Tommy's ever seen. His own is better in every way, no doubt about it, and it seems like Steve agrees as he looks over the rows of tapes.
"Which one's your favourite?"
"Huh?"
"Your favourite. Which one?" Steve asks again, slower this time. Makes Tommy feel slow, too, as he reaches over for a well worn tape near the top of the box.
Steve gives him a smile that's sly enough to make Tommy feel like an idiot for saying it. For giving up something damning and getting shit-all in return, just Steve grabbing a fistful of his sleeve and pulling him toward the door.
"Let's watch it."
Steve kisses Tommy. It's a joke, it doesn't mean anything. There isn't an explanation for what happens after that.
After Everything by WabiSabiPapi
Soulmate AU | Rated E | 23k | 4/4 Chapters
It's 2003 - nearly two decades after Eddie sacrificed himself to save Hawkins, leaving Steve behind to navigate a life without his soulmate. He has made his peace knowing that falling in love is not in the cards for him until one day, someone from his past shows up unexpectedly.
Maybe it's not too late to find love, after all.
Again, this is not an exhaustive list, just some of my faves by my fave writers and friends! Would love recs (yes self recs too!!!) in the replies!!
