not that joe keery isn’t a very attractive man but i absolutely love the mythos the fandom has constructed around steve’s beauty like he’s somehow simultaneously the most beautiful creature you’ll ever encounter in your life and just some guy. fic writers become divinely possessed by the muses when describing this guy’s moles. i’ve never felt more secure about my own brown eyes than when i read what people write about steve harrington’s otherworldly beautiful brown eyes. he’s both unobtainable handsome and your boy next door.

Another AO3 thing I’m curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because it’s easy math and two it’s yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray it’s good?

Billy & Nancy friendship is a relationship that has so much potential I can't even put it in words.
Billy, at some point: I can chug whole bottle of vodka and not die
Nancy: what, like it's hard?
or:
Billy: look, I have this problem-
Nancy: *whips out a gun*
Billy: WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GET IT, YOU'RE WEARING A SUNDRESS
Steve and Johnathan just sit on the couch together, awkwardly sharing a joint, while Nancy and Billy are trying to outdo each other at, like, throwing knives or something

I really can't decide if I prefer Billy who fucked his way through Cali and it's all very tragic or inexperienced!Billy with confident!Steve who actually been with men because when you live your whole life in a small town you're willing to do about anything for a thrill
Steve, casually doing lines at a party, after blowing some dude in the bathroom: whattup hargrove
Billy, who's never touched anyone below the waist: what the fuck is happening
alternatively: Billy talking about how he lost his virginity, because come on, Harrington, it was hilarious and also badass and Steve being like, holy shit do you want a blanket? me to pay for your therapy? do I have to drive to California with my bat? my parents to sue someone?

both Steve and Billy never had a healthy relationship in their lives, but they both shaped by this differently. while Billy is cynical and always expects the worst, Steve puts all he has into building something good, healthy and stable
I just love Steve being really protective over Billy and being the first person to really give him something GOOD

Max is never going to have a really good relationship with Billy. There's just too much history and too little trust. They don't /like/ each other. When shit truly hits the fan, though, that's when they will give their lives for each other.
As tragic as this is, from the outsider perspective, it's pretty tiring and only slightly hilarious.
Max: I hate him. He's awful person and the world would be better without him.
Lucas, who head this 3 times this week: sure, and you didn't weep at all when he bled slightly

Every time Billy had sex, it was rushed, sloppy and barely satisfying. The act of it as an rebellion was usually more important than orgasms - it was just like partying, drinking and drugs. Sex was supposed to give you a kick, that rush of adrenaline, because even if he’s hooking up with a girl, if cop finds them, that’s a ticked for indecency and a beating from Neil. In California, sex was liberating.
For Steve, sex is about as adventurous as smoking, so not at all. Police in Hawkins can’t be bother to do any kind of work unless you bother them for hours, so nobody’s patrolling make-out spots or showing up at parties, unless they’re like. Way too loud. Mostly, it’s peaceful coexistence. And since Steve’s parents are rarely home, many parties are held here.
So, Steve used to slowly fucking in the bed, long evenings and morning spend just chilling and healing hangovers and making out. There’s never any rush. He actually had boys in his bed before.
When Billy and Steve hook up for the first time, Steve is confident and steady and calm where Billy is jittery and nervous. Billy’s shocked and appalled that this fucking hillybilly is more experienced than him.
The competition starts. (Steve is not informed of that)

After Tommy and Steve have their big fallout, Tommy feels extremely betrayed. So he immediately latches to Billy both seeking another friend and as kind of revenge. And it’s pretty great for a while, pretty wild, much more intense than hanging out with Steve ever was. But then shit happens. There’s fire or something at the mall and suddenly, Billy fucking Hargrove joins Steve’s marry little band of idiots with Secrets.
When Tommy goes to visit Billy in the hospital, and Steve is there and they’re whispering and clearly. In kahoots. Tommy just fucking. Screams. Drives back home, tries to talk to Carol, but she doesn’t really care, even if she tries.
After that he makes it his mission to make their life as hard as possible, stalks them around the city, constantly rides around Harrington’s house and okay. It’s gets pretty embarrassing, from the perspective of time. But Tommy’s really not equipped for dealing with strong emotions and personal drama more than their biannually break up with Carol.
It’s like that sometimes, okay?
But then, as he is watching them so much, he starts to realizing something. He watches how Steve and Billy interact with each other, and he thinks, oh shit. Are they like. Queer? But for real? And he isn’t very introspective or empathetic but he’s also not stupid. And maybe he kinda gets it? But he’s not about to think about that.
So he just show up one day, at Steve’s house, with 6pack of beer and good weed and says. Did you really had to cut me out, fucking assholes? Couldn’t you just say you’re gay for each other?
Chaos ensues.
Tommy narrowly avoids broken nose.
All is well.

one time Billy pulls knife at Johnathan and says "your brother will talk to you today, and you will be really fucking understanding about it, or I'll gut you" and then just. gets into a camaro and drives away. and Johnathan is fucking terrified, because what that could be aboutso when that evening Will shuffles into his room, all shifty with wet eyes and confesses he's gay Johnathan is like "OH THANK GOD I THOUGHT YOU GOT INVOLVED WITH A MOB OR SOMETHING"

I wanted to do a Billy piece. I thought what if he survived and moved back to California? And, what if they met him at the Skater Rink that Eleven clobbered that bully at? So I did a sort of pin up of him, because why not? lol 😍

Apparently this is a hot take but I don’t think Steve was ever actually interested in Robin. He’s just easily persuaded and Dustin got in his head.
I also think this is what happened with the st*ncy resurgence in S4. People kept telling him he’s into Nancy and he was like, “I guess I am?”
