Simple Steady Love

In honor of the momentous episode we are about to have (and for the @upsteadofficial ILY Challenge), here is an 8x11 speculation one-shot. It was nothing short of an emotional rollercoaster while writing it, so good luck and I hope you enjoy!!

Title from “Steady Love” by Evergreen

Trigger warning: Mentions of domestic violence 

Read on AO3 and Fanfiction

@anniesardors Yes, we'll take this version of 8x11 for 1000, please.

But that conversation between them, and then the ending, oof! Hits right in the feels. 😢🥺

[upsteadofficial]

And the winner is....

Thanks for joining us, friends! We hope you had fun and we can't wait to see what happens in season 9! 😊

~@upsteadofficial

(So sorry for the wait! @puckluck28 made a great video for the reveal, but tumblr decided it didn't like it and unfortunately wouldn't let us share it with you all. 😢)

Hiya friends!

We were supposed to announce the winning scene today, for the Upstead S8 Madness event, but we ran into some technical issues (tumblr does not like large files 🤦‍♀️). So we'll be posting the announcement tomorrow, July 9th, instead. Thanks for your patience! 😊

It could be something with my app/account, but I’m not seeing your posts in the tags. Not sure if anyone else has the same issue but just wanted to let you know!

Aaah and the tumblr gifs strike again! 🤦‍♀️ Thanks for letting us know, Nonnie. We'll try to finagle it to work.
