Steddie AU Recs
So, there isn't much I contribute to this fandom, but if there is one thing I know how to do, it's read some fanfiction. I've read thousands of Steddie fanfics in the last two months (well over 10 million words), so coming at you live from my brain is a list of some of the best AU Steddie fanfics on AO3.
Starting off with the classic, YOU'RE DIVINE by Oonionchiver
Key tags: Vampire!Eddie Munson, Human/Monster Romance, BDSM, Blood Kink
Note: Vampire!Eddie at its absolute best. Nothing else to say other than this is my favorite fanfiction ever written and published on AO3, and I say that as someone who has been reading fanfiction for over 15 years. This is it. This is the best one you'll ever read.
BANDAIDS FOR THE HEART by LexiRoseWrites
Key tags: alpha/beta/omega dynamics, Omega!Steve Harrington, Alpha!Eddie Munson, Nurse Steve Harrington, Single Parent Eddie Munson, Loss of Virginity
Note: This is a really, really adorable fic about Eddie, a single parent, and Steve, a pediatric nurse who takes care of Eddie's daughter in the ER one day.
A MESS OF HOLY THINGS by ghosttotheparty
Key tags: College Student Steve Harrington, Musician Eddie Munson, Religious Guilt, BDSM, Loss of Virginity
Note: This is a college!AU where Steve grew up sheltered and very religious. When he meets Eddie, he finds himself straying from God and towards... well, something else.
HEAVEN CANNOT WAIT FOREVER by rabidheart
Key tags: Age Gap, Professor Eddie Munson, Student Steve Harrington, Kink Discovery, BDSM
Note: Another college!AU where Steve is a student and Eddie is his art professor. This one is delicious and devious. Mind the tags.
CAN'T YOU JUST MAKE IT GO FASTER? by toethemoon
Key tags: Sugar Daddy Eddie Munson, Sugar Baby Steve Harrington, Rockstar/Famous Eddie Munson, Steve Harrington Adopts Max Mayfield, BDSM
Note: In this one, Steve is a graduate student who adopted Max. When he falls on hard times, Eddie offers to be his sugar daddy. Things get complicated quick. This one is criminally underrated at only ~6k hits.
Anyway, here's wonderwall.
