Happy 3rd Anniversary, Tuesday's Gone With the Wind!
It honestly seems like these versions of these characters have been with me forever at this point. There's a distinct Before Tuesday's and After Tuesday's when it comes to my fic writing for Steddie, and Stranger Things in general. 🎸
I wrote a whole love letter to them on the 1st anniversary of it being posted, so I won't do that all over again. My feelings remain unchanged.
To celebrate, here's the opening credit sequence to the documentary that all the interviews that ran through this fic were for. I don't think I've ever posted it here to Tumblr before.
I still miss these characters. I'm just grateful I get to swing by and say hi to them every now and again through different ficlets set in this universe.
And each time someone new finds Tuesday's, or someone comes back for a re-read, and leaves me a comment that brings these characters back to the forefront of my mind, it makes my whole day. Thank you to each and every one of you that has ever given this fic a chance. ❤️
Made for @books_or_hooks for the #onelastexchange a few months ago. I sent her copy off and completely forgot to take pics of it 😅
This typeset took me ages because it was the second project I did on affinity and it has SO MANY pictures. I had a lot of fun with it though!
Since this is such a special fic to me and a couple of my fandom besties I undertook the insane task of making FIVE copies of this 600 page beast. I got a little frustrated with it as I was making two 300 page text blocks and joining them. Only to discover that my 400 sheet capacity guillotine CAN cut this massive thing. Game changer. Now she has smooth edges and I’m much happier.
The back cover features the list of car rules that appears many times in the fic. And each copy has a different set of maps as the endpapers.
I tracked down a few artists that have done art for this fic and featured their pieces throughout, big thanks to @melonalemonade @psychlopz @dontcallmemiki @nonacquiescent for letting me use your art in the bind!
I was making a bunch of book covers for some of my favourite fanfics that I've read recently, and I just want to share one that I was particularly proud of.
Across the Universe by @thisapplepielife is such an amazingly written novel, I absolutely adore it. 10/10.
Most of the images used are from the ones in the fanfic. I was going for a chaotic amalgamation of all the different univerises that Steve and Eddie find themselves in, whilst still having readability, so hopefully, I achieved that.
1. Read as: “Literally every moment of every day I’m…”; 2. In this instance, “them” is referring to the specific iterations of Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson in the Stranger Things fanfiction “Take the Money and Run” by user @thisapplepielife.
Hi! I'm Apple. I currently write for Stranger Things. The majority is Steddie, but I do branch out from time to time. After I ran out of link space in my old masterlist, I let it fall about a year out of date. But now I've created sub-lists to sort everything out again.

My hashtag #thisapplepielife: short fics gathers nearly every fic I post on Tumblr in one place. Short is relative, of course, but I've ended up using it for anything that isn't a long fic or series. There's gotta be a couple hundred standalone fics in there by now. With a lot of them not on ao3 at this time.
I also run the event blog @corrodedcoffinfest - if you'd like more Corroded Coffin fan works in your life, come join us!
Author's Self-Rec Fic: Tuesday's Gone With the Wind - this is my favorite thing I've written. So, if you wanna know what I'd tell you to read? It's that one.
(Some of my work is rated E, so please be mindful of ratings.)
I currently have written three long fics that are all complete and ready to read in full. Tuesday's Gone With the Wind is my personal favorite, Take the Money and Run is my most popular and All Across the Universe is my most recent!

Steddie, E, 144K, 22/22 Chapters (Read on AO3)
“Rules. Like, there’ll be no eating in my car. You’re not driving my car. No heavy metal,” Steve keeps listing, “you’re not picking up women and fucking them in m-”
“I'll try to control myself,” Eddie interrupts with a quip, a smirk. Fucking girls in Steve’s car, or anywhere else for that matter, isn’t going to be an issue, unless something pretty fundamental shifts in him.
Steve continues, completely ignoring Eddie, “You’ll wipe your feet. You’re not dragging dirt all over my car. No hitchhikers. No cutesy road games. No smoking in the car. I’m not paying for all the gas.”
“Ass, gas or grass, got it,” Eddie says, like he's taking this very seriously. He is not taking this seriously.
Or: Road trip!
Tuesday's Gone With the Wind, Complete
Steddie, E, 184K, 9/9 Chapters (Read on AO3)
Corroded Coffin's leased plane went down on June 13th, 1995 in the woods of Louisiana.
Ten people on board died.
Eddie Munson survived.
Before he survived, he really lived.
All Across the Universe, Complete
Steddie, E, 135K, 16/16 Chapters (Read on AO3)
Steve Harrington knows this world isn't permanent. They never are.
He blinks into existence, brand new and disoriented. He might not know where he is, or when, but he knows he's searching for something, for someone, as he's called on and on, all across the universe.
He always finds him.
Eddie.
