Summary:
Steve disappears in the moments after Starcourt. The Party is worried for him, Joyce has given up hope on Hopper or Steve being alive, and Eddie Munson is about to adopt a flock of sheep that will change his entire life.
Can they find Steve before its too late? And if they do, what will they be bringing home, their Steve or a whole new kind of monster?
Heres the thing about Evan 'Buck' Buckley and who he DESERVES to end up with.
Buck deserves someone obsessed (healthy) with him. Someone whos all in and can't get enough of him, because lets be honest, hes fucking sunshine. Should that be Eddie? Sure, the foundation is there for it and they are good for eachother.
That being said though, I'd be perfectly content seeing them stay just best friends. Because they are good together and its beautiful to see friendship like that shown on tv especially between two guys.
Heres the thing though, if they just stay best friends Buck cant' end up with ANY of his past partners, especially Tommy.
Now hear me out okay? I don't dislike Tommy because he isn't Eddie, I dislike Tommy because hes a jackass. Hes biphobic at best, emotionally abusive at worst. Look at how he talks to Buck, how he treats Buck like hes stupid or immature because Buck is 30 something and just found out he likes dudes and is scared?? Get real, thats a dick move. Baby gays are still gay and know what they want but its terrifying to learn this at an older age, to try to embrace something new. (Its terrifying at any age but you get what I mean) and then Tommy shoves Buck out of the closet in front of EVERYONE and dosen't even try to stop it, to make sure its something Buck would be okay with. And he talks down on Buck, talks to Buck the same way his parents do and if you care about Buck in ANY capacity youd want better for him.
I'm sick of the writers acting like its okay to have these on again off again relationships that are hurtful, especially to a character that has been used for nothing but other peoples needs his WHOLE life. Like sure people can have on again off again relationships that aren't bad but thats not the case with ANY of Bucks past partners, and to have him end up with any of them would be a real fuck you to people like Buck. People with abandonment issues and trust issues and so so much love to give with nowhere to put it.
So if Buck ends up with ANYONE, even if its not Eddie I BEG the writers to make a new character for that place in his life. A KIND person who sees Buck as an equal, who wants to just be around him and his amazing friendship with Eddie. Someone who sees who Buck is, what hes been through and understands that Buck DESERVES weird crazy obsessed with eachother friendships because hes fought fucking HARD to get them. Worked for them and keeps working for them.
Im a Buddie shipper through and through, but I'm okay if they don't end up together as long as whoever Buck ends up with LOVES him, all of him, and its a healthy beautiful relationship. Because those are real and people find them and if anyone deserves it, its Buck.
To all of my fellow Americans, I am here for you. If you need to talk, need a friend or someone to confide in. If you are LGBTQ+ or AFAB, BIPOC or are just upset by the results of the election, I am here for you. This blog is a safe space for everyone. Even if weāve never spoken before, weāll get through this together.

Hello and welcome to the story that I most would like to finish, It's been a while friends, and I have missed all of you.
I'm going to go ahead and get this chapter uploaded now, it was written way back in January, when things started to go a little south for me in life, but I figured I could give you guy's this, while I work on making sure I can keep giving you this story in the most authentic way.
So here's to you guys, and this shorter Chapter that I never got to release because life kicked me in the face.
The next one I'm able to release, I want to be longer but I needed a 'fresh start' to keep telling this story and that meant getting this part out for you all to enjoy.
And I really hope you enjoy.
thank you for sticking around, and for being so understanding. I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I hope I can keep bringing these boys to life for you soon<3
Steve had been on dates in the past, so heās not really sure why heās freaking out so hard to Robin while heās getting ready. HeĀ knowsĀ how to do this, he used to be theĀ kingĀ of doing this.
But it feels like so much more this time.Ā
Like life or death.
Which is so silly because SteveāsĀ facedĀ life or death before, and it was nothing like this. But god the panic heās feeling is so all consuming at the moment he barely registers Robin's hands coming up to grasp his face, and squish his cheeks between them.
āIām gonna need you to breathe, Dingus.ā Steve lets out a soft whine when he registers her words, his eyes focusing on her soft smile. āWhatās got you so panicked about this, Steve? Youāve been on dates before, and you already did the hard part of asking him out.ā Steve brings his hands up to cup around hers and sighs, deflating completely.Ā
āWhat if like, what if he wants or-or expectsĀ moreĀ on the date? Like I know Iām a bit of a slut Robās, I own that shit, but, Iāve- I donāt know, what if thatās all he wants, like everyone else Iāve tried to be with? Like, I didnāt really have the best time with- with the hook ups when I was still figuring out my sexuality, you know?Ā And Eddieās important, like so important and I just, fuck I donāt even know what Iām trying to say.ā Robin squishes his face a little more as he talks, and his words come out a bit distorted.Ā
āSteve.ā
āYea I know, itās dumb.ā He casts his eyes to the side as she lets his face go. Hands sliding down his neck and arms till sheās holding his.
āItās not dumb. But Steve donātĀ youĀ want more on this date? I mean youāve been talking about sitting on his dick for months now.ā Steve groans, leaning forward to rest his forehead on hers taking a deep breath.Ā
āThis is- Robās, Iām like, pretty sure Iām in love with the guy. I donāt think Iād survive if this was just a physical thing.ā One of her hands releases his and comes up to flick his ear.
āSoĀ tellĀ him that dumbass. You guys promised to communicate with each other, SoĀ doĀ that.ā
And just like that, a lot of that panic that was gripping his throat dissipates, a soft laugh bubbling up in his throat, because sheās right. Of course sheās right, sheās Robin. But that promise is literally the whole building block of his and Eddies relationship. That promise of Steve communicating, and Eddie taking the time to listen and vise versa. Itās what makes what they have nowĀ work.Ā Ā
Steve leans forward and plants a kiss on Robin's nose that has her scrunching it at him.Ā
āWhat would I do without you, Robs?ā
āPerish.ā
āFair enoughā
~~
Steve has no idea why he was so nervous, walking through the woods with Eddie towards their date destination. Them- this, itās easy.Ā
āStevie, baby, light of my dreary life. You saidĀ drive-inĀ movie, not fucking hike for an hour in the woods movie.ā Steve laughs, glancing over to Eddie before reaching out and grabbing his hand, placing a swift kiss to his knuckles.
āItās been like 10 minutes Eddie, and weāre almost there anyways.ā Eddie shoots him a playful glare, yanking on their intertwined hands so Steve stumbles towards him slightly.
āPretty sure you said that like, 3 hours ago.ā Steve laughs, groaning and bumping his shoulder into Eddies.Ā Glancing sideways at him through his bangs, a soft swoop warming his lower stomach.Ā
āEddie.ā
āSteve.ā
āEdās.ā
āStevie.ā
āEdward.ā
āBabygirl?ā
Steve kinda short circuits at that, stumbling slightly and shooting a playful glare at Eddie, who's walking next to him with a self satisfied grin taking over his whole face.Steve can feel his blush deepening as he stares at him.
āYouāre a little shit.ā Steve finally settles on saying, glancing in front of them to make sure they are going in the right direction.Ā He doesnāt think heās stopped smiling since the date started, and his face kind of hurts, but heās so glad he was able to push past his worries and do this. All of this for Eddie. He can smell the food he cooked every now and then, when Eddie swings the picnic basket just right and heās excited to get Eddieās opinion on the Chicken Parm heād made for them.Ā
Eddie squeezes Steve's hand gently, pulling his attention back over to him, and the smile Steve is met with is blinding.Ā
āSo, whatās with the trek through the woods for a drive-in movie? You secretly a murderer?ā Steve snorts so hard at the question he stumbles a bit, Eddie uses the hand heās still holding to pull him back. āItās a valid question, Princess. Youāre a little bit lethal, and a whole lot hot while doing it.ā Steve feels a chill go down his spine slightly at the words, flashes of Demodogs dancing past his eyelids, Billyās fists mingling with the images. He almost wants to say āYes cause I have to be.ā But he holds his tongue, and flashes a cheeky grin in Eddie's direction.
āIām not gonna murder you. Although if you show anyone where Iām taking you, I might.ā He scratches at the back of his neck a bit. āItās uh- itās a special place I stumbled upon last year, when I couldnāt sleep one night. It was old and falling apart when I found it, but Iāve fixed it up good as new.ā He glances over at Eddie again, seeing him nodding along as Steve talks, soft smile on his lips.ā Itās high enough up that itās got the perfect view of the Drive-in through the trees.ā Eddie stops walking at that, using where they are still attached to pull Steve to a halt as well.
āSteeeeve,ā He draws out the eā in a whine, āyouāre making me hikeĀ andĀ climb?ā Heās got his lip pouted as he looks at Steve, and Steve really canāt fight off the blooming warmth in his chest staring at the man in front of him.
āItās up a ladder Edās, It wonāt be too bad.ā
āI agree on one condition.ā
āThat is?ā
āYou climb me afterwards.ā Steve barks out a surprised laugh at that, and he can feel a warm blush spreading up his chest to his cheeks, Eddie smirks over at him.Ā
āIām beginning to think you have no filter.ā Steve muses aloud, knocking gently on a tree trunk as he passes it.Ā
āBeginning? Stevie, baby, beginning?ā Eddieās still got that smirk on his face as he uses a tree trunk to spin around and get closer to his space. Steve huffs out a laugh, using his pointer finger to push Eddie back by his nose as he glances around the woods trying to spot his marker on a tree he knows is near by. His eyes light up when they land on the soft blue cloth blowing in the wind.Ā
āCome on, the tree house is over here.ā He can physically feel Eddie perk up at the words.
āTreehouse! Stevie, you have a secret treehouse out here?ā Eddie stumbles over his shoe laces as he works to catch up to him, and he laughs.Ā God when was the last time he laughed this much?Ā And Just as heās about to start climbing the ladder Eddies grasping his shoulder and spinning him around, pushing his back up against it and pressing his chest flush against him. Thereās a mischievous twinkle in Eddieās eyes as Steve looks at him questioningly, and Eddie leans in, his nose brushing along Steve's cheek.Ā
āYou really look good enough to eat in that outfit Steve, and if I have to climb up this ladder behind you, neither of us are going to get to taste this meal you made us or see the movie.ā Steve shivers at the purr in Eddie's voice as he leans even closer, lips ghosting over Steveās ear. āSo what do you say I do first pretty boy, before I just push you up against this ladder and take you right here.ā
Steve suppresses a groan, leaning his head back against the ladder and arching himself more into Eddie, whoās hands come out and brace his hips.
āDown boy, I want to at least get to sample what my baby spent all morning cooking for me.ā He laughs softly, planting a wet kiss to Steveās cheek and shuffling him out of the way to start up the ladder, and if Steve has to take a second to readjust his pants before following him, that's between him and the trees.Ā

What happens when Steve is broken and rebuilt into the super soldier the Russians want?
Will he still be Steve in the end?
How do you stay human, when the things in your head are anything but?
Okay bare with me on this one it's still in the VERY rough stages lol
Itās not like I was subtle about my distaste for him, or the way his eyes scrunched up when heād smirk that fucking smirk at me. But here he was, acting surprised that I went against his direct orders. I wasnāt his prisoner damn it, I was at the very least his wife, and yet he treated me no better then the people his father had rotting down in that dungeon. I flash him a smirk of my own, one specially crafted for him as I shove my way past him reaching for my cloak. I can hear a soft breath from him as he sits down on the throne.
āI canāt believe you would do that, after I explicitly asked you not you.ā Thereās a sharp edge to his voice Iāve never heard before that causes my steps to falter, my back to him.
āYou didnāt ask anything Blair, you demanded it,ā I whirled around then gesturing wildly with my hands, āAnd of course if Master Blair demands it, it must be done.ā I roll my eyes, taking another step forward and his eyes trail over me, weighing me, thereās an emotion in them that I canāt quite place, and heās still far to good at masking his scent for me to pick anything up from him at all.
He flashes that damn smirk again, leaning back on the throne.
āYouāre my wife, and by law and decree you listen to me.āĀ I can feel my anger like a living thing in my veins as I stalk closer to him, leaning in and placing my hands on the armrestsĀ on either side of him, our noses brushing and breath mingling.Ā
āThis throne is mine by birthright and magic Belial. If you think Iāll bow to you or any man in order to get it back, then youāre dumber than I thought.ā
I have no idea if I am doing this right haha but here's an excerpt from it!
āHopper? Is it really you?ā His voice is hoarse, like heās been screaming a lot, and Hopper's heart squeezes in his chest.
āYea kid itās me, are you okay?ā Steve laughs humorlessly.
āDefine okay, Hop.ā He coughs, trying to lean up on his arm and wincing when he puts pressure on it. Hoppers instantly pulling him up slowly into sitting position and leaning him against the wall of the cell, pulling Steveās loose sleeve up to look at his arm. Thereās three long stitched over gashes in it, that look swollen and possibly infected, but Steveās reaching up to pull the sleeve back down, rolling his head to look at Hopper.Ā
āTheyāve got a Demogoron, and a piece of the Mind Flayer.ā Itās all he offers, with a soft smile, squeezing Hopper's hand gently. āOh man Hop, you really look old now with that haircut.ā He tries to laugh, but it's cut short with a wince, and the longer they interact, the more Hopper's blood begins to boil, his heart breaking in his chest looking at the boy in front of him.
āYouāre starting to look like that Munson kid Iām always arresting, with how long your hairās getting.ā Hopper offers back, trying to add a light tone to his words, but his worry coats them heavily. Steve winces out another laugh.
āAw man Hop, donāt go comparing me to nerds now, itās gonna ruin my rep.ā He slides down the wall slightly as he talks, pulling his injured arm across his stomach. āI think the Demogorgon they have is Dustins old buddy Dart, and man, donāt ever tell him I said this, but every time I look at that damn thing, it makes me miss that shit head even more than I already do.āā Hopper chuckles softly at that, crawling over to sit with his shoulder pressed against Steves, he looks too skinny, too gaunt and drawn out, and Hop can only imagine how fucking cold he is in this Russian winter.Ā
