Steve was good at writing romance novels. so much so, that he’s sold millions of copies all over the world, his books being translated into a bunch of different languages.
So when Steve’s latest book comes out, and the love interest is described as having long unruly hair, brown eyes you could get lost in, and a ‘taking no shit from anybody’ personality, Steve’s large fan base started talking about how rockstar Eddie Munson, was what the love interest looked like.
it was largely agreed upon by the fan base, and because of this. Corroded Coffin started blowing up on booktok, and then people started editing Eddie.
Eddie and the rest of CC didn’t mind the extra attention (not that they needed it with nearly thirty million monthly listeners on Spotify). But suddenly everyone was going on about Eddie.
Talking about how attractive he was, his interview clips being posted on tiktok.
And now Steve’s fan base and CC’s fan base start talking about how insane it would be if Steve and Eddie met.
This ordeal goes on for months and months, Steve’s sales skyrocketing.
And then, the met gala rolled around.
Everybody was excited to see what Eddie dressed as, who his plus one would be. Who everyone would be jealous of because they go home with Eddie fucking Munson.
Eddie showed up to the met gala wearing a black suit, red dress shirt, he had a choker on that looked like drops of blood around his neck, a high and dramatic collar turning into a cape.
And who’s his plus one? Steve fucking Harrington.
Steve Harrington, in a cute light blue tux, an expensive looking crown and a matching dramatic collar that turns into a cape (though, not as dramatic as Eddie’s) everybody (rightfully so) freaks the fuck out.
Was this for publicity? Did they do this so that fans would go even more stir crazy?
When they reach the top of the carpet, they walk up to the interviewer who looks like she’s dying to see what’s going on.
“So…how do you two know each other?” she asked
“Stevie here’s my sweetheart, has been for a long time” Eddie grinned
The fans watching are currently freaking out, Steddie trending on twitter
“And so…was Eddie the inspiration for your latest books love interest?”
Steve laughed “Yeah…if im honest half the ways i described the love interest was because of the things i said to my best friend Robin Buckley about Eddie when I had a massive crush on him”
“And who does everybody think Sailor Boy is about? It’s about my sweetheart” Eddie questioned, his arm now resting on Steve’s waist.
They walked off before any more questions could be asked. And now fans were going even more insane,
edits of the two at the met gala blowing up on tiktok, the song Sailor Boy being used as an audio for most.

Bucky Barnes was a menace. NYU’s top baseball player, he was used to girls falling at his feet and could smooth talk his way out of just about anything. You hated him. He couldn’t figure out why.

❅ LOKI LAUFEYSON
In the Woods Somewhere by @kashimos-hajime
[modern!au; angst]
inspired by 'In the Woods Somewhere' by Hozier with some small mentions of 'Almost (Sweet Music)' as well.
It’s been my headcanon for a while that Steve isn’t stupid, he just over-simplifies things.
So this happens when he has a poetry assignment. What winds up happening is he discovers that he has a weird talent for horror poetry. (Something like:)
I put lotion on dry hands.
Skin is an organ.
The largest organ of a body.
I put spice and leather softener on dry hands.
His class is like 0_0 thanks I hate it but also holy shit dude.
Fast forward to Steve actually managing to make a living as a horror poet and even sometimes short stories.
Meanwhile writer!Billy is all butter and softness in his stories. When people meet them together, they assume Billy is the horror poet and Steve is the romance novelist.
Writer!steve would be so funny when trying to write a story. He would yell across the room “(Y/N)! Should character A be really sappy when professing his love to character B? Or embarrass them?” and you would say “Definitely sappy because you could also embarrass someone by being so sappy that they can’t help but smile, or throw up. Either way.” and he would look up from his scattered pages of his draft and say “(Y/N), this is why you’re literally my entire heart.”

Bad Habits by anika-ann

Steve Rogers is a man dedicated to his duty – to fight, to protect, to lead. Many look up to him for they believe he is the epitome of virtue personified. But he has one very bad habit he cannot seem to shake, as much as he hates it: he’s always late. For you though? He’d run fast enough to break the sound barrier, if it could only mean he’d be on time for once in his life.

Writer!steve would also be really messy. He would always have his rough drafts sprawled out on his desk with different pages scattered on the floor, with zero organization. Sometimes you would sit at his desk when he wasn’t around and read different excerpts of his stories, whether it was from his freewrites or even his fantasy story. But what if on one of the days, you sat at his desk and found a page with your name at the top? would you read it? What do you think it would say?
omg I wouldn’t read it b/c like, privacy, ya know? But I might ask him about it, and if he tells me, I would imagine it being something about how much he loves me, or maybe a story about the first time he realized he was in love?
i love this concept of writer!steve so much, thank you for blessing us with this :’)
