#dustin begins to start to plot how to get steve and eddie together not long after this
Text
I want more platonic stobin and bisexualy disaster Steve and gay disaster Eddie in my life. So I wrote some :)
Steve wanted to scream as he tried the handle again. "Steve. Steve!" Robin pulled him away from the door. "They aren't opening the door, and you're just gonna break the handle. Keith already hates your guts. Don't make it worse." She pointed out, weirdly calm about all of this. "Plus, it's not like we don't share space normally." She says and sinks down to the floor, tugging him down with her.
Steve looked at the door, "Why can't they accept that we're only ever going to be platonic?" He asks and runs a ran through his hair. He was sick of this. Of the comments and the teasing. It stresses him out.
They kept pushing the two of them together, and Steve was worried that it could mess up what friendship he had with Robin. Because Steve's used to messing up and hurting someone, and he really doesn't want to hurt Robin. He has nightmares of outing her by accident and ruining her life. It terrifies him.
"Steve, come on, it's okay. It's just a stupid bathroom. We've shared a bathroom stall. This is bigger than that." She jokes, and he pulls his knees up to his chest.
"I can't do this, Rob." He admits and watches her freeze. Her walls climbed up like he said something really stupid. "I'm sorry, but I'm just-"
She cuts him off, "I get it. You don't want to deal with the backlash of being a lesbian's friend." She says, and he blinks.
"What? No! I don't want to say the wrong thing. I get bitchy when I'm annoyed and I'm easily annoyed when I'm stressed. And I'm stressed! So I don't - I can't be the one to out you. I can't mess that up for you." He says, and it's nice to finally admit his fears.
Robin blinks at him, "That's what- Steve, that's what bothers you about all this?"
Steve nods, "I mess up everything I touch. I can't do that to you, I won't do that to you. Honestly, you should probably find better friends. One who thinks with his brai-"
"Shut up." Robin snaps, and he stops speaking. Looking at her with wide eyes. "You can't talk about my best friend that way. I won't let you," She states.
"You're best friend?"
Her eyes soften, "yeah dingus. Who else would be my best friend? We're soulmates," She decides, and he's confused because she sounds like she means it. "Platonic, with a capital p, soulmates."
He swallows back a ball of emotion, "even if all the kids I babysit-"
"Mother."
"Babysit," he stresses, and she smiles. "Try to get us together at every opportunity and won't believe that we aren't in love. Or that I'm in love with you at the least. I think you're better off because you call me dingus more than my name," he mused.
Robin sighed, "I won't say that it's not annoying. But I'm used to dodging questions about boys, and this way... with you, I have someone to be myself with. That's more important to me than some stupid preteens who think locking us in a bathroom would get us together."
Steve smiles, "last time we shared a bathroom did go pretty well, honestly." She knocked her knee into his. He glanced over at the door. "Do you think they'll give up?"
Robin snorts, "Dustin's more invested in your love life than you are. I don't think he'll give up unless you're dating someone else or the truth comes out."
Steve sighed, chewing his lower lip until something clicked in his head. "What If I come out?"
Robin blinked, "you- what?"
Steve nodded, "I mean I like both but I could just say I favor guys." He shrugs, "it's not like they could disprove it since it's mostly true."
Robin stared at him, "Steve... since when did you- what? Steve oh my god," She shifted onto her knees and slammed into him. "Since fucking when! Why didn't you ever tell me!"
Steve raised an eyebrow, "what do you mean since when? I literally point out hot guys all the time! When we watched watched Rocky Horror, I said Tim Curry was sexy!"
She shook his shoulders, "you did no such thing! You ask if I also think a guy is hot and you said- oh." It clicks for her and she falls back on her ass. She covers her face, "holy shit."
Steve smirks, "holy shit."
A giggle escapes her lips, "you so have a type."
"Shut up," he groans.
But before they can really dig into it, there's a loud knock on the door. "We're gonna open the door in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" The door swings in a Dustin's hand is over his eyes like he's gonna be scarred at the sight of them.
"We're literally just sitting on the floor Henderson. Not having freaky bathroom sex," Steve rolls his eyes and stands, Robin following suit.
Dustin looks upset like he expect his plan to work. "I don't get it." Steve ruffles his hair as he passes the kid. Robin lets out a small laugh as she stretches her limbs like she had been stuck in there for more than just 15 minutes. Steve turns, and she locks eyes with him, a silent question.
"Kid, I've said this a million times, but I'll say it one more time." He glances at the other kids that had either always been there or gotten here at some point since he'd been locked into the bathroom. "Robin and I will never date. She and I have no romantic feelings for each other. And if you pull this shit when we're at work again, I'll kill you."
"It's not like it was hard to figure out how to check someone out," Max shrugged and Steve huffed at her nonchalant grin from behind the counter.
Steve ushers the kids out from behind the counter before taking his normal spot, looking around at the empty store. Robin moves and bumps shoulders with him. "Platonic feelings only." She gestures between them.
Dustin groan, "I just don't get why!"
Steve glances at Robin, "because I'm too gay for her." He states and everyone goes quiet. "Honestly boobies are so high school." He winks at Robin who looks at him like he's bravely stupid.
"Wait but you dated Nancy?" Mike questioned arms over his chest.
Steve rolled his eyes, "so? I am more picky on who I date. Doesn't matter the gender. Robin doesn't tick my boxes."
"But she should!" Dustin complains and Robin groans.
But then Steve sees someone in the windows, heading towards the doors to Family video. "My type is more," and he just gestures just as the door dings to call their attention to the newcomer.
Eddie Munson glances at the kids and then at Steve. "Sheepies," he says. Eyebrows raised in confusion at the eyes on him. Eddie glanced at Steve, "Harrington, you break the kids?" He asks as all the kids continue to stare at him as he moves to the horror section.
Steve waves his hand, like he can brush off the confusion. "Nah, they're just shocked that I'm not completely in love with Birdie over here."
Everyone's jaw is on the floor as Steve leans his arms on the counter, not even bothering to hide the way he checks Eddie out when the man looks away. "Right," Eddie sighs and grabs a movie. "Well, not everyone's type is jocks." Eddie teases slightly, having warmed up to Steve little by little when Steve picks the kids up from Hellfire.
Steve takes the movie from Eddie, giving him his one free movie he gets for the week and hands it back to Eddie without charging him. "I'll win ya over." He winks, and Eddie's eyes go a little wide.
Eyes glanced around like he could ask if anyone else saw that. "Um, well, yeah, how-how much for the-"
"Consider it on me." Steve waved his hand and then leaned more into Eddie's space, "I haven't seen this one yet."
Eddie swallows, "You should check it out. It's, uh, pretty good."
Steve smiles, "I'm shit with horror, maybe if I had someone to hold my hand through it." He sighs overdramatically, then snaps, "Oh, I know! If you're not busy we could watch it together. I mean, it seems like a scary metalhead like yourself would be capable of holding my hand through the jump scares."
Eddie's eyes are blinking rapidly, "it's for the boys." He says, looking lost. Steve frowns, and Eddie jumps into action, "But I could-" He stops himself and groans. "I've got to- plans- fuck-" He stumbles and practically smacks into the door in his rush to leave family video.
Steve sighs and leans his head down on the counter. Robin pats his back, "I miss my whiteboard." She sighs and he looks up to glare at her.

Eddie x platonic!experiment!reader
hii i haven’t been able to get this out of my head. so i decided to write it down 😊 also i needed this right now because the duffers have me messed UP
also this is my first time writing so 🫣
and another thing is being that i’m black, i envision the reader as black. but anybody could read this being that i won’t put anything physical appearance-specific other than reader’s hair, which she ends up growing to be similar to eddie’s but honestly i feel like any race can have that hairstyle just different textures so 🫶🏾
(reader is the same age as el being that they’re “sisters” and it’s pretty much a similar dynamic as dustin and steve because i love their dynamic so much 😭)
summary : pretty much the same plot of el meeting the boys and how they were when they first met except it’s reader and eddie
part 2 🤍
part 1 : how they met
- so you’re in the same friend group as dustin , lucas , mike etc.,
- but FIRST we of course need the backstory
- so. you were born in 1971 and lived a pretty ordinary life in Illinois until your parents could no longer handle things setting aflame or go flying across the room without you ever picking it up whenever you lost your temper.
- so after many calls, doctor’s appointments and evaluations (and maybe some attempted exorcisms 😧), you were finally referred to dr. brenner who (of course) was very quick to take you in and “help” you.
- a 3 year old you is now residing in hawkins national laboratory , where you met el, 008 (kali), and the very friendly orderly named Peter.
- now. fast forwarding to 1983, the year that you and 011 escaped hawkins lab and the year that will (🫶🏾) went missing.
- unfortunately not long after you two had left the lab together, you lost each other in the chaos of being in a new environment:(
- as you’re wandering around this new environment (being that you haven’t really been outside in years) you’re tired beat and bruised from wandering around in a forest for about 2 days (you’ve honestly lost count) and just want to find your sister.
- you’re starting to lose hope when you begin to hear an unfamiliar sound in the distance. it’s unlike anything you’ve ever heard before!
- it stimulates your ears in such a way that, little 12 year old you just can’t help but to follow it.
- as you being to get closer to this peculiar sound, you realize that you’re no longer in the woods, but are now on the outskirts of a trailer park .
- as you walk through this new place (fear at the back of your mind of being in a strange place at night nonetheless) determined to find the cause of this noise,
-you see in the distance a boy not much older than you sitting on a picnic table, holding a large object in his hand and- “oh my gosh, the noise is coming from that thing!“ you think as you slowly walk over.
- now from a 16 year old eddie’s pov, he knew that playing his guitar at 10 p.m wasn’t exactly ideal, but his uncle wasn’t home and he was bored ! and if any of his neighbors had a problem with it , especially mrs. nolan (that old hag) they could simply come outside and tell him to shut up. (not that he would listen.
- so when he heard footsteps coming towards him, he figured that’s exactly what was about to happen so imagine his surprise when he looked up and saw some kid in a hospital gown, with a shaved head and no shoes?! he was appalled!
- so back to you now.
- instead of being skeptical of the boy in front of you, you’re eyeing the weird thing in his hands, with caution. only being able to think “what is that?” “can it hurt me?” and “i want to keep hearing that sound”
- your thoughts now being cut off by this boy in front of you.
eddie : “ummm… hi?”
you : “🧍🏾♀️”
- eddie’s completely freaked out at this point becauseeeee who the hell is this??? is he about to get murdered??? is this what he gets for trying to antagonize that old ass mrs. nolan???
- so he slowly puts his guitar to the side and hops off the table
- of course you noticing this, which automatically puts you in fight or flight mode because this guy is bigger than you and could be just like papa and the bad men.
“hey, are you okay? do you need help? a-are you hurt or something?” he trails off noticing the cuts and bruises on your bare legs and the dried up blood under your nose. 
- he remembered seeing on the news his uncle had it on over the past few days of kids being abused and/or abducted in nearby towns and immediately thought that this was the case. and being that this kid looked scared from just him getting up and walking towards them he figured that was the case.
“i-i’m not gonna hurt you i swear. what’s your name?”
“…”
- seeing you jump at the slightest sound and looking around frantically when other trailers lights began turning on at the previous commotion he figured they should probably go somewhere more private.
- he put his hands up to show that he meant no harm.
“you should come inside before anyone sees you, some neighbors’ll be quick to call the cops the second they see something weird so..”
- as you were about to run away the closer he got the sound of something howling in the distance made you jump towards him in fear and he decided it’d be best to lead you into the trailer and away from potential prying eyes. (damn mrs. nolan and her nosy ass)
- he held his hand out for you to take , which you did , as he guided you into his trailer.
- short time skip brought to you by eddie giving you clothes to change into (it was a short sleeved van halen shirt and sweatpants which is important information to know for later) and him completely freaking out when you tried to undress directly in front of him.
“oh my gosh, oh my gosh- what the hellll? don’t just do that!”
- of course at the sound of him raising his voice from the calm tone he was using before, you immediately cowered away from him, thinking you did something wrong.
“i’m sorry, it’s just… you shouldn’t just do… that. you know in front of people especially guys you don’t know. get it?” he said repeating the movements you had previously done.
“so i’ll be right outside this door andd you just knock when you’re finished changing okay?” awkwardly putting his thumbs up and not even waiting for an answer before he walked out and closed the door behind him
another timeskip to you and eddie now sitting at his dining room table, as he tried to get you to answer his questions while having you eat some left over pizza, that he had sitting out from several hours prior
- or just really say anything at all at this point
- he thought about taking the pizza from you if you didn’t answer his questions but you were really fucking it up (😭) and he was absolutely astonished
“have you never tried pizza before?”
- you slowly shook your head at him. but to him that’s progress so!
“soooo my name’s eddie. what’s your name?”
- when you just blankly stared at him while eating he figured this wasn’t going to be a very productive conversation until you set the slice down, held out your arm and pointed at the inside of your wrist.
-he saw what looked like ink on the inside part of your wrist.
“007?” what’s that mean?
when you pointed to yourself and softly said “me” he almost missed it.
“wait, i’m sorry. you? like your name is seven, like the numb-“ he stopped himself. starting to think that whatever or whoever this girl was involved with was wayyy beyond his original understanding.
- noticing that the topic was making you uncomfortable he decided to let you sleep for the night so they could hopefully talk more in the morning.
- the next morning he woke up to the sound of a guitar playing and saw you sitting on the floor in front of his bed, holding it the same way he was when you found him the night before. except you were just staring at it and tentatively pulling the strings and letting them snap against the wood.
- now normally seeing anybody handle any type of guitar, (especially his) like that would’ve sent him into an aneurysm. but the more he thought about it, the more he realized you probably didn’t know any better as crazy as it sounded to him.
“you like it?” he asked.
- having not heard him get up or notice him sit down next to her she jumped and quickly put it down on the floor
“i’m sorry” you said looking down in shame at touching his stuff without asking. you just wanted to hear the pretty sounds from the night before
“hey it’s okay, i mean it is pretty cool isn’t it” he said picking it up off the ground and started playing the beginning of some song
“see, you don’t pull the strings like that,” he said replicating what you were doing minutes prior. “you go like this see?”
“play.. one from last night” you said
“what?” he asked, looking confused before whispering to himself “one from last night…oh! sorry.” he apologized because his slight outburst made her jump.
“the one from last night when you walked up to me! yeah?” she nodded
thus that led to a day’s worth of guitar lessons and showing you all of his favorite songs and bands as you listened intently and watched as he danced around to each song.
“like the shirt you’re wearing! van halen? see look .” he showed you each of the members and saying their names. “and last but certainly not least! eddie van halen!”
“eddie…that is your name 🫵🏾” you looked at him intently
“huh? oh! well i mean yeah, we have the same name but everybody knows that i’m the original of course.” he pshhed. trying not to get too excited at the fact that you were opening up to him more
- he then went on to show you black sabbath, metallica, and all of his favorites throughout the rest of the morning.
- the one that stuck out to you the most was “children of the grave” from black sabbath’s master of reality album. which also happened to be the one he was playing the previous night that you heard.
he figured you liked it a lot (when for some reason everytime he left the room and it neared the end of the song it would start rewinding even though he swore he never saw you get uo to rewind it.) to the point where he put the tape into one of his (too many) walkman’s and let you listen to it in your ears instead of out loud.
- he didn’t want any noise complaints from that goddamn, old ass, mrs. nolan (no seriously what is his beef with her 🗿) and for her to call the police
he also told you the story of ozzy osbourne biting the head off of a bat with a very enthusiastic reenactment of it.
“gosh that shit was so metal” he said nostalgically.
“metal?” you repeated
“yeah.. it means like hardcore you know, but in a good way! metal 🤟🏻” he said sticking his tongue out
“ metal 🤟🏾” you said copying him and his hand gesture making him chuckle.
“so we should think of some nicknames for you, because i don’t really think we should walk around calling you seven, huh?” he seemed to be thinking really hard, putting his hand to his chin in a “🤔” way. you copying him as you stared at each other.
“sev? that sounds cool or how abouttttt van! you know because of the van halen shirt i gave you. or! how about dio or ozzy! from black sabbath! but since you’re a girl, how about dia or ozz!” he rambled enthusiastically
- you just nodded your head yes to each of them. making eddie burst out laughing much to your confusion.
“well i think you deserve an award for being the bearer of so many names milady.” he jumped up and jogged into his room before coming back with something behind his back.
“butttt since i have no medals or trophies to give you, i figured this should be good.” he said handing you his walkman with the children of the grave cassette tape in it.
“consider it a gift from “the great sir eddie munson” he said bowing theatrically making you laugh as he showed you wear to connect it to your outfit and how to operate it.
you stayed with eddie for about 3 or 4 days. and eddie being eddie, figured that you were more important than school at the moment so he just simply… didn’t go.
- he taught you how to do things that he considered basic life skills.
playing children of the grave on guitar
headbanging without hair | he was real adamant on that one because :
“imagine when you finally do get hair, you’ll be a fucking pro kid, i’m tellin ya!”
“fucking pro!” you repeated determinedly
“oooh umm don’t say that! don’t say that!”
he even took you to main street for a few hours. (but not without an amazing disguise of course ;)
now when his uncle finally came home early one day he wasn’t too pleased with the finding out that eddie had been skipping school. that disappointment was quickly replaced with confusion, at walking in and seeing a young girl with a buzz cut in his nephew’s clothes sitting at their table while eddie looked to be enthusiastically explaining “that damned board game” (dungeons and dragons) to her.
“h-hey uncle wayne, um i can explain everything , this is seven-“
“i think we should talk son. now”
without giving him a chance to explain, wayne dragged eddie to his room, slamming the door behind them, leaving you in the dining room by yourself, where you could only listen to the back and forth between the two.
“what the hell is going on eddie!?”
“listen she came up a few nights ago wearing some hospital clothes, and-and-and with a bunch of cuts and bruises, man! she needed help! he confessed
“then you call the police edward!-“
“jesus christ” eddie rolled his eyes, “since when are they any help!” he wasn’t actually asking, because he knew exactly how much “help” they could be
“i’m sure chief hopper would be glad to help her get back to where she needs to be, but she can’t just stay here!
“why not!?”
“ ”why not”?! they could think that you kidnapped this girl! or worse you could be harboring a damn fugitive for all we know!-“
“i didn’t! and a fugitive?! seriously? she’s a child! i- this is unbelievable!” you heard the door open back and eddie stomp back into the dining room where you were with his uncle trailing right behind him.
as they continued to argue in front of you, and the argument continued to get more and more heated , a moment passed where wayne raised his hands to put his face in his palms but you were too quick to react, thinking that he was going to put his hands on eddie and raised your hand, sending wayne flying across the room and hitting the wall with a loud and strong thud that shook the trailer.
- as you realized what you just did and touched the blood that began to drip from your nose eddie started to yell.
“oh my god! jesus h. christ! what the fuck was that man!” he looked over at you with what looked like fear on his face, before he ran to his uncle to make sure he was okay, as his uncle just stared at you in pure shock.
“i-i thought he was going to hurt you, i didn’t mean too i’m sorry!” you yelled and before they could respond you panicked and ran out of the trailer.
“sev! sev, wait it’s okay! you don’t have to run!” eddie yelled once he overcame the initial shock and confusion of what just happened, as he ran after you. but by the time he got outside you were nowhere to be seen.
2 weeks had passed and eddie looked for you non-stop when he wasn’t in school, but no sign of you. and all the hype was currently around looking for the byers kid who was reported missing the day after he met you.
- he would’ve thought he had just made you up in his imagination if not for the slight dent in the wall from where his uncle flew into. but what really reminded him of you being real was when one day his uncle came home with something for him
- eddie was sat on his bed retuning his guitar, when his uncle came and leaned against the doorway.
“hey eds i’m ‘bout to head out, try not to stay up too late alright?”
“okay. have a good night.” he said without looking up from what he was doing.
- you see eddie hadn’t spoken about what happened that day, since that day, so ultimately wayne didn’t either, not exactly knowing what to say about it. therefore they didn’t really have any type of conversation since that day.
“and um, i haven’t been able to catch ya but,” he tossed a manila folder next to him. “garrett from the photo shop caught me at the grocery store the other day, gave me that, said you never came to pick those up so he asked me to bring ‘em to ya.”
“i don’t remember developing any pictures but, thanks wayne, i’ll look at them.” giving a half-hearted smile before going back to what he was doing.
“alright kid, see ya later” wayne said walking out.
- the second eddie heard the front door close , and his uncle pull off in his car, he hung his guitar up and picked up the folder.
- he opened it, pulled out the prints, and his eyes widened as they immediately teared up, nearly breaking down at the sight before him.
- a picture of you and him at the general store sat in his hands the both of you doing the 🤟🏾pose he taught you with your tongues out.
- now he wasn’t only crying because he was upset that you were gone possibly forever and without a goodbye
- and because you were probably out there thinking he hated you
- he was also crying of relief at the fact that he wasn’t crazy and that you actually exist and that he had proof of it
- now this wasn’t proof to show you off or anything, he didn’t even plant on showing anybody the picture
- but proof that he had met what he thinks was the coolest kid ever and could only hope that you were doing okay wherever you ended up.
- he quickly grabbed a marker and wrote on the back of the print “eddie & van nov. 1983” pinning it next to where he would hang his guitar.
- eddie was happy that he had something to remember you by, being that he didn’t think he would ever see you again.
- and he didn’t. see you again that is. and you didn’t seem him either
.- not for another 3 years at least.
- but that’s a story for another time i guess 🤭

Masterlist
———————————————————————————
If someone would have told you a month ago that you would be on a small wooden boat in Lovers Lake with Robin Buckley, Steve Harrington, Nancy Wheeler, and Eddie Munson to find a portal to another dimension called the upside-down, you would have probably referred them to a mental hospital; though here you were…
You had been thrown into the whole mess after you had become fast friends with Robin and Steve. You had gotten a job there not long after the two of them. They were both reluctant for you to begin work there, but for very different reasons. Steve had expected you to be like every other snobby cheerleader in Hawkins so he wasn't sure he was ready to deal with that, but Robin knew you were not like that…in fact, Robin had basically been in love with you for close to a year and she wasn't sure she could hold together her composure for the shifts you worked together.
You had always noticed how Robin fumbled over her words in nearly every sentence, but it hasn't crossed your mind that you were the cause of her nervousness, you assumed that Robin was just generally an anxious person and nothing else, and in fact, you found her stuttering to be adorable and you had been accustomed to hearing the small, nervous, laughs that came after she managed to finally get a whole sentence out.
You were currently sitting beside Nancy Wheeler, while Robin couldn't help but keep her gaze on you.
You were certainly the only oblivious one because it was easy for everyone else to see the adoration in Robin's eyes.
“Robin.” Steve quietly nudged the staring girl, causing her to finally break the trance she was in and as soon as Steve saw that he had pulled her attention he spoke again, “You okay?”
Robin took a deep breath, “Yeah it's just- it's just her.”
Her gaze immediately trailed back to your face, her heart contracting in her chest.
Steve followed Robin's gaze, “You’ll never know how she feels if you don’t put yourself out there.”
Despite being a hardass most of the time, Steve didn't like seeing Robin so torn up.
“You don’t get it. If she doesn't feel the same way about me, I could lose her. T-Then she will think I'm some kind of freak. I can’t go through that.” Robin knew she had so much more to focus on right now than her love life, but she couldn't help it when you were just there, looking all beautiful right in front of her face.
Steve was about to say something else, but the compass Nancy was holding began to suddenly go haywire.
All Five of you guys immediately pulled your attention to what was currently happening. Robin had radioed Dustin to relay what was going on and before anyone could really do anything Steve began removing his shirt and shoes, “There is only one way to find out if the gate is actually down here.”
Nancy was the first to protest, but it was really no use as a couple seconds later Steve was diving to the bottom of Lovers Lake.
You decided to move to sit next to Robin noticing her uneasiness, “He will be okay.”
She simply gave you a nod, choosing to avoid another inevitable rant that would spill from her lips if she began to talk.
Steve had now been under the water for close to a minute when he suddenly popped up out of the water, halfway scaring everyone on the boat.
He was quick to tell everyone he had found the portal, though the look on his face changed to one of fear when he felt something grab his leg. It had all happened too fast for anyone to do anything except watch him get dragged away.
“St-Stay here.” Nancy's voice was shaking as she jumped in after Steve, leaving everyone in shock.
It seemed obvious to you, that you had no choice but to jump in as well. Whatever was lurking down there that had taken Steve might need more than two people to fight off.
“What do you say, Buckley?” You held your hand out for her as she had already been standing up to do the same thing you were going to.
“Nancy says stay here! What happened to her being in charge!” Eddie was hysterical at this point, clearly not wanting to dive in the water like he suspected he would be doing.
“I made that shit up.” Robin slightly laughed as she connected her hand with you.
Then before you knew it, you were being sucked through the red glowing portal at the bottom of the lake.
You weren't sure what you were expecting but fighting off Demon bats wasn't something you foresaw in your near future, nonetheless, the four of you had managed to pull the bats from Steve, leaving a wound engraved into both his sides.
You aggressively swung a broken oar at the bats, trying to keep them away from you.
You had managed to kill two of them, and after Steve viciously killed the last one near him, the monsters settled around the portal as if they were guarding it.
“Come on guys!” Nancy ushered you guys to the tree line in hopes of some kind of shelter, which you guys had found at skull rock.
It was also then that Steve's injuries had taken a bigger toll on him. Again, Nancy was the first one to his side.
You had noted in your brain to ask Steve what was going on with him and Nancy because clearly there was some…tension.
Robin tried her best to humor Steve, as you watched in amusement. You had always loved Robin's ability to make any situation just a little bit better.
Eventually, Nancy had gotten Steve back to good health, leaving the five teenagers to debate their next move.
“What if we go to the police station? We could steal guns and grenades, and like whatever we need.” Robin has suggested, and honestly at this point that was their best option.
Steve had come back with a comment about the Hawkins PD not having grenades, making everyone shake their head just a little.
“We don't even have to go all the way to the police department for guns, I have guns.” Everyone was a bit taken back by this piece of information. You hadn't expected Nancy Wheeler to be a gun kind of girl, but you guess it made sense after everything she had seen for the past few years.
After some back and forth they had seemed set on going to Nancy's house, but not before Eddie prevented himself from ruining a moment between Steve and Nancy by throwing his sleeveless jean jacket right at Steve's face, “For your modesty man.”
You couldn't help but let out a small giggle, that was until the ground beneath your feet began to violently shake.
Your immediate reaction was to break Robin's fall as soon as you saw her beginning to tumble over. You grabbed her waist tightly as both of you fell to the ground, your head meeting the side of a pointy rock.
Robin's heart had been running a hundred miles a second as she felt your hands on her waist, and the fact you had just saved her from hitting the ground made her feel like her heart just might explode.
“Are you okay?” Even though you figured your forehead was now bleeding, you just wanted to make sure she was okay.
Robin immediately turned over to face you, eyes wide as she saw the blood running down your face. “You're bleeding.” her voice was dripping with concern.
“It's just a scratch, I'm okay.” You honestly believed what you were saying, Robin however did not, “You are gonna need stitches, this is not a scratch.”
Seeing the worry on Robin's face convinced you that you should lift your hand to feel the cut, and when you could feel the gash on your head you realize it probably would need stitches.
“Okay, maybe it needs stitches.” You wince slightly.
“Don't ever do that again okay? T-That rock could have hit the back of your head and killed you!” Robin had now become a bit hysterical as worst-case scenarios played out in her head.
“Robin, if I didn't catch you, it would have been in the back of your head. I’d much rather have a cut on my forehead than you bleeding out all over the ground because of a stupid rock!” You had also now begun to feel the emotions swirling inside of you.
Ultimately Robin knew you were right, but it didn't hurt any less than the girl she loved now was hurt because of her.
“Can you stand?” Robin decided to back away from the argument, hoping to preserve some kind of peace.
You thought about the questions for a moment, “Yeah, I think so.” With that, you attempted to stand up, and you had done pretty well until a dizzy spell had washed over you.
You stumbled slightly, “Woah, Woah… I’ve got you.” Robin steadies you, allowing the dizziness to wear off.
You were suddenly hyper-aware of Robin's hands gripping your waist, as to make sure you weren't going to topple over again. The feeling swirling through your stomach was a familiar one, and it was also one you found yourself feeling more and more around Robin.
“Thank you.” Your voice was shy as the group began to move further into the woods towards Nancy's house.
Robin had ended up wandering towards the front of the group while Steve purposely staggered behind so he could end up next to you.
“You know she loves you right.” Steve's voice was quiet but sincere.
“W-What?” Your heart rate had gone wild in your chest and you were sure that it might just bust right through your ribcage. You knew exactly who Steve was referring to.
“Look I'm only telling you this because I know you are a good person, and even if you don't feel the same way about her, you would never look at her any different,” He sighed, “But if you don't feel that way about her just please back off a little. She would be devastated if she thought that some cheerleader was just using her because she was a bit curious…I'm asking you not to do that to her.”
You couldn't help but let the comment sting a bit, but you knew you couldn't blame him for only trying to protect his best friend.
“I really like her, Steve. I'm sure you noticed since you brought up all of this, but it isn't just some curiosity. I've been into her ever since a basketball game a while back, and I helped her pick up some sheet music off the ground,” You smiled thinking back to the fond memory of the first time you guys had met.
Steve's eyes widened, “Oh shit, I've heard that story at least three hundred times.”
Suddenly your chest felt all warm at the fact Robin had cherished that moment just as you had.
“Okay so maybe I was a bit quick to judge, but just be careful with her okay? She truly believes that someone is ever gonna love her, so please prove her wrong.” He was now looking directly at you
“I'll take care of her, I promise.” It was clear that you held nothing but genuine feelings for Robin.
Eventually, Steve wandered back up to Nancy while you slowly walked just a bit behind everyone, debating on how you would confess to Robin that you loved her.
After realizing that there were no guns in Nancy's house and then figuring out a way to communicate with the kids still in the normal world, you guys were able to make it all the way to Eddie's trailer, right in front of a portal back home.
As soon as you had managed to fall through the portal and onto an old mattress, everyone began ushering you and Steve both to the hospital. It was only a short distance so the kids biked while you, Eddie, Steve, Robin, and Nancy borrowed Eddie's uncle's old car and drove there.
“Are we sure this is necessary?” You questioned while you guys pulled into the hospital parking lot.
Robin damn near twisted a sprain in her neck to look at you, “This is very necessary! Steve could have rabies and well you could have some weird fungus in your head because of that rock, not to mention you are still bleeding. If you lose very much more blood you will start to run out and I don't think any of us know how to do a blood transfusion so I would appreciate it if you would get out of the damn car so we can make sure you are okay!” Despite the long-winded ramble, Robin held a not so sane smile on her face.
You weren't sure whether to be frightened or amazed, but either way, you decided to get out of the car and follow everyone into the hospital.
Steve had gotten called back first, Nancy following closely behind him.
Then it was your turn.
“Y/n Y/l/n.”
You looked at Robin with a nervous look on your face, you had hoped she had gotten the hint that you wanted her to come with you. Though she was oblivious as you could see the confused look on her face, “C-Could you m-maybe come back with me.” You continued, “Y-You just make me feel calm I guess.”
Her eyes immediately lit up. It was endearing to Robin's heart that you wanted comfort from her. She was t exactly sure how you found calmness in her constant nervous behavior, but she wasn’t going to question it.
“Yeah, of course.” She smiled while standing up.
“If you guys wanna wait for a little we can all go back to my house when we are done. My parents are out of town.” You told Dustin, Max, and Lucus before you were whisked away behind the hospital doors.
The doctor had seen you pretty quickly, and luckily Robin was happy to hold your hand while they stitched you up.
“All done Ms. Y/l/n. The stitches will dissolve on their one, so no need to worry about coming back in. You guys are free to go whenever the Nurse comes back with your medication.” The doctor left the room, sending you both a small wave bye.
“Thank you for everything Robin, I honestly don’t know how I would ever make it without you.” Robin's heart fluttered at the comment and her nerves had suddenly returned full force.
“Robin.”
“Y-Yeah.”
“You are shaking.” You pointed out her hands that were visibly shaking while they rested on her knees.
Robin tried to stop the nervous shaking, but it had only gotten worse as you moved closer to her. “I-Uh-I just-I'm sorr.” You couldn't help yourself from crashing into her lips.
Every word that Steve had spoken earlier rushed back through your memory, and you helped but let all of the admiration and love pour out in the form of a kiss.
Robin's lips were completely still for a few moments, as she had realized what was happening. She had never actually kissed someone like this before, so she tried to follow your lead.
Just as quick as the moment had started, it had ended when both of you heard the door click to open. You both abruptly pulled away and sat in silence for the next few minutes while the nurse gave you the instructions for your medicine and sent you on your way.
Robin grabbed your hand in hers as you walked out of the room.
“I love you.” She halfway whispered.
“I love you too Robin.” You leaned into her side as you were walking causing her to just completely throw her arm around you.
As you made your way back to the waiting room a question found its way into the forefront of Robin's head, “Steve had something to do with this, didn't he?” She thought back to the tense conversation she saw you guys had back in the upside-down.
“Yep.”
“I'm totally gonna kick his ass later,” She laughed, “But I guess I owe him a thank you.” Her eyes drifted to you one more time, placing a small kiss on the top of your head.
“I think this just means you get to return the favor, and let Nancy know how in love Steve is with her.” You giggled softly.
“I think I just fell even more in love with you.

Home Sweet Home
Part 1: Ballistic
Part 6: Fight For Of Your Life
Masterlist
Vecna can sense you all getting closer, he decides to do something about it. For the sake of the series now is when Nancy and Robin are trying to interview Victor Creel.
Cheerleader!Harrington!Reader
Vecna. The Upside Down. Eddie being upset. We get goofy happy Eddie though. Briefly. In the beginning. For the sake of plot and then it’s pretty much just leading up to Vecna and then Vecna. If you guys don’t go listen to this damn SONG (the link to it is embedded in the title).
“What?!” Eddie shouted, looking up from his guitar with a mortified expression on his face. You’d just told him you didn’t recognize the song he was playing. “Home Sweet Home. Mötley crüe.” He raised his eyebrows, looking at you expectantly, watching in horror as you continued to shake your head. “Oh my-“ he shook his head and went over to his stereo, searching through his tapes before grabbing the right tape and putting it in, pressing play and jumping on his bed on his knees, playing air piano along with the song before holding his hand out to you as he started to sing along with Vincent.
“You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low.” You couldn’t help smile as he sang, a blush tinting your cheeks, he had a surprisingly good voice, even if he was being dramatic.
“Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you'll never feel left all alone
Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm coming off this long and winding road.” He grabbed your shoulders tight, but not enough to bruise, his throat doing the same thing as Vincent’s as he shook you around before letting go of you as you laughed, jumping off his bed and starting to play air guitar.
“I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight, tonight I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home.” As he sang he lowered to his knees before walking over to you, stretching his arms out to you as he walked towards you on his knees.
“You know that I've seen
Too many romantic dreams,” he reached out, taking your hands in his gently as he sang.
“Up in lights,” he suddenly stood, dropping your hands and grabbing your shoulders again, shaking you with the gravelyness of the word ‘lights’, leaning over you a bit as you laughed. “falling off the silver screen
My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometime nothing keeps me together at the seams.” He climbed onto the bed over you slowly as he sang, laying you back onto the bed before connecting your lips as the chorus started over. "I think this might be my new favorite song.” You whispered as you giggled, Eddie grinning widely. “Yeah? He whispered softly.” You smiled and nodded, his grin only widening before he started attacking your neck with kisses.
Your giggles echoed through your head as you tried to help them find the gate, following Dustin’s compass with Eddie’s hand gripped tightly in yours, making sure you didn’t trip on any rocks or anything like that. Which you were grateful for, because you almost did more than once. It was hard to hear much, with the countless of things you kept thinking about, mostly the last few days, the few days you’ve had with Eddie. His voice, the way his arms felt around you, the way his lips felt against yours, how soft his hair was, how good he was at guitar, how good of a singer he was.
As you looked at him, tears threatened to fill your eyes. He was so handsome, even now, stressed and scared for everyone around, he was absolutely gorgeous, and as soon as the thought passed through your head you felt guilty and you were looking away, focusing on the conversation at hand.
“I just.. dont think taking her into Vecna’s layer is the best of ideas. You know. Considering.” Steve was talking mostly to Max and Lucas, motioning back to you wildly. “I can hear you, Steve.” You scoffed lightly. “Steve... you know if she wants to do something bad enough she’ll do it, no matter what you or anyone else says.” Max shook her head. “Especially you.” She patted his arm.
“Look, Steve, I know you’re like.. jealous, or whatever.” Dustin sighed heavily. “But no one is trying to replace you, man.” Steve started to sputter at the accusation. “pssh! tsch! hah! Jealous? I don’t get jealous!”
“Oh, right.” Everyone, Eddie excluded, responded. “I don’t!” “Whatever helps you sleep at night, Stevie.” You laughed softly. “You know, we still haven’t had our discussion yet.” He pointed at you as you rolled your eyes. “Yes, yes. Don’t sneak boys in. How dare you sneak a boy in? Eddie Munson? I get it.” You grumbled softly, sticking your tongue out at him as he squinted and turned away from you.
“I’m just saying, maybe being so close to the gate isn’t smart for someone who’s literally under his curse.” Steve sighed heavily and shook his head a little. “Well he’s gonna get me either way, Steve! So, really, does it matter?” You clenched your jaw tightly, everyone walking in silence after that.
It was getting dark, and just as the compass started to spin around rapidly, notifying that you were reaching the gate, it stopped completely and Dustin frowned, starting to smack it. “What the..”
You heard that chime again, louder this time, and instead of the clock being off in the distance, it was right behind Dustin, and then, everything around you glitched and you were alone, in the Upside Down.
You looked around frantically, stepping away from the spot you were just standing in. “No...” You mumbled softly. “Eddie?! Steve?!” you shouted, looking around, maybe you were just crazy. “Guys?! Dustin! Max! Lucas!” You walked around a bolder but didnt see anyone, tears filling your eyes as you tried to control your breathing. “EDDIE?!”
“Y/N...” A gravelly voice growled somewhere in the woods. You spun around to try and locate it, shaking your head a little. “No.” You said firmly before running around the bolder and starting to run through the woods, weaving through the trees rather than running down the path.
“You can’t hide from me here, Y/N.” The voice echoed, you looked behind you, not seeing anything, but when you looked forward, you werent in the woods anymore.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Eddie had noticed your hand twitching in his grasp, and he looked at you, reaching around to wrap his arm around you, thinking you were cold, before he saw your eyes, bright blue and rolling back in your skull. “Y/N?” He stepped in front of you and grabbed your shoulders tightly. “No... guys!” He looked back at them quickly. “Guys!” They stopped their arguing at his shout and looked over, eyes widening as they rushed over, surrounding you and trying to shake you awake. “Nancy and Robin! get Nancy and Robin!” Steve shouted, shoving Dustin.
Dustin ran over to his backpack and got the walkie out, calling Nancy and Robin frantically, repeating “code red” over and over.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
You walked around what looked like the remnants of a house, floating around was that damn grandfather clock, and what looked like a door as you walked up a few steps, swallowing thickly.
“Have you asked yourself why, yet?” You spun around quickly and stumbled back as Vecna stepped towards you, breathing heavily. “I’ve noticed it’s the first thing they asked.” He motioned to Chrissy, Fred, and Patrick. Your eyes widened and your breathing picked up as you looked at them, your eyes settling on Chrissy, a small sob ripping through your throat before you looked at him again, tears flooding your vision. Your lips quivered as you blinked and formed your mouth to ask why, but he interrupted you. “Because I can.” He said, walking around you, as he stood behind you you spun around and faced him again, walking backwards. “I don’t... I don’t understand.” You whimpered softly.
Vecna tilted his head a little. “With me... there’ll be no loneliness, no being ignored.” He stepped close to you. “We will be one.” He explained. “You will be just as important as Chrissy.. or Fred... or Patrick.” When he started to walk towards you again you turned around and started running. Unfortunately, one of those damn vines grabbed your leg and pulled you back. “Shit! Fuck!” You tried to grab onto the ground before you were pulled back against a pillar, your head slamming back against it as you cried out, a vine wrapped around your ankles, and then your neck, before two grabbed and pulled your arms back, ripping a choked cry from your throat. Vecna smirked, his head tilting as he walked towards you slowly, his eyes running over your pinned form, his dark chuckle almost echoing as you tried to wiggle free.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Dustin screamed into the walkie for almost five minutes before Robin’s voice crackled over, asking what was going on. Dustin explained what was happening, glancing back at you and the others.
Steve had a firm grip on your shoulders while Eddie was frantically clapping his hands near your face, Max and Lucas freaking out close by. “Y/N! Hey! Come on, man, wake up!” Steve shouted, if you were conscious you would’ve complained about the pain in your neck.
“Uh-uh-uh C-Creel said something about hearing a song.. Nancy and I were thinking.. try playing her favorite song. I know it sounds weird but give it a try.” Dustin immediately ran over and grabbed your back off your shoulder roughly. “What’s her favorite song?” He asked Steve.
Steve opened and closed his mouth, looking at Dustin and then back to you. “What?! What, why?!” He asked, hands gripping your shoulders still.
“Because Robin said that if you- it’s too much to explain right now, what’s her favorite song?!” Dustin shouted. “I-I-I don’t know! It’s different like every week!” Steve responded.
Eddie immediately started to look frantically through your tapes. “This one! This one!” He shouted, taking it out of the case and giving it to Dustin, putting the headphones over your ears as Dustin put the tape in and hit play.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Your eyes were glued to Vecna as you taunted, his stare harsh and the roots around you only tightening with every vile word you spat to him. If you were gonna die this way, he was gonna get an earful. You’re not-“ you gasped for breath. “You’re not even here.” You grunted as the roots tightened. “Y-you’re attacking me in my head…” you gasped, coughing. “You don’t even have the..” you grunted. “The b..balls to do it in the open. C…can’t give anyone a fighting chance.”
You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low
Vecna tilted his head. “Oh I promise you, Y/N. I. Am. Real.” He lifted his hand and hovered it over your face as a hole opened up behind him. Your eyes shot over as his head turned toward the forming hole and you started to breathe heavily, Home Sweet Home echoing around you, as well as very distant screams of your name, Eddie was trying to hold you down, until your body levitated out of his hands, his fingertips grasping at your shoes.
Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you'll never feel left all alone
Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm coming off this long and winding road
You closed your eyes tightly, breathing heavily as you looked back at the hole, trying to force yourself back into your body. “They can’t help you, Y/N.” Vecna turned his head to you. “There’s a reason you waited so long to tell them.”
“You want to be here.” Vecna tilted his head. “You. Belong.. here. With me. With us.” His head turned towards Chrissy, Fred, and Patrick’s bodies as you shook your head frantically. “No I don’t.” You mumbled softly.
“Yes. You do.” Vecna looked at you again. “No more being ignored.” He squinted at you as you scoffed. “No more anything.” You corrected. “Right? Cause I’ll be gone. Dead.” You clenched your jaw, the tears still streaming though you were pretty sure by now it was from anger, stress, not because you were scared, you knew this was coming, that eventually you’d be face to face with him, and although the sight of him made your stomach churn in unimaginable ways that you couldn’t even fathom a word for… all you felt.. was pure anger and disdain, your eyes falling briefly to Chrissy’s body, your fists curling before you looked at him again.
“Not gone. Up here.” Vecna pointed to his temple. “Join me, Y/N. Join us.” He whispered as your eyes squeezed shut, the roots tightening around your throat as if he shared your disdain. “Bring purpose to your life. For once.”
As your head started to lean back images started flashing through your mind: Steve’s stupid knock, how annoyingly overprotective he was, the time he broke Jason’s nose when he found out he’d tried to touch you inappropriately; Dustin’s excited toothless grin, the way he rambled about D&D, even if you didn’t understand any of it, he’d explain it so you could understand what he meant; going shopping with Max, celebrating Lucas’ win with the two of them; and finally… Eddie: Eddie’s smile, his laugh, the way his hands felt on you, and then him stopping mid make-out to belt song lyrics.
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight, tonight I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Your eyes shot open and you looked at the hole before back at Vecna. “My life… has… purpose.” You grunted, face turning red as your airway was cut off. You managed to bite down into of the roots surrounding you, DISGUSTING by the way, and get your legs free, as he howled from the root being bitten you kicked him back with both feet and started running for the hole, glancing back at him as he caught his balance, glaring at you as his fist slowly curled.
You know that I've seen
Too many romantic dreams
Up in lights, falling off the silver screen
My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometime nothing keeps me together at the seams
You looked towards the sky as debris started to fall, widening your eyes and running faster, having to run a little zigzag to avoid the debris falling around you as you watched the hole get closer, the thud of the debris falling causing you to slip and fall in the… whatever the hell was all over the ground, you didn’t wanna think about it. You ran on your hands and knees before getting stable on your feet and running faster, tears running down your face as you reached the hole, reaching out as if that would get you there sooner.
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight, tonight I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Your eyes shot open and you fell to the ground with a loud gasp, immediately falling into someone’s arms, one breath in told you it was Eddie. Frantic screams fell from your mouth as you grabbed onto Eddie tightly, turning into him as you trembled. “It’s okay. I got you.” Eddie’s voice was barely audible over the music, but it still rang through your head like a bell. “You’re safe.”
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Yeah, I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home
You’re safe

Steddie x Henderson Reader Imagine - Dirty Work
(Monster Town Au)
It had been a few week since you had been to Eddie's house for the first time, and as promised he had gotten a professional to come out and look at the structure of the house. They said that it was very good condition for having no one lives there in years, there a couple of minor things that were recommended to be fix first before anyone moved in but was still safe if anyone did need to move in quickly.
So with that knowledge, you got cleaning supplies and headed over to the house, to begin giving it a proper clean and so that you could take a break from studying, your finals exams were nearly here but you really needed a change of scenery for a few hours.
You had put on your oldest and most worn clothes you owned, so if anything happen to them, you were more than fine to throw out them out after. It was just you for the day as both Eddie and Steve were working today, and you had tried to bribe Dustin but he wasn't falling it.
Looking at the overgrown garden, it kind of made you want to work on it, but it was still a little to cold for that and cause of the long grass, you weren't sure what was in there and was leaving that for Eddie to do, encase there were any snakes hiding in there, as they pose no threat to s vampires.
You begin cleaning upstairs rooms first, as they were still bedrooms, so seemed to have the least amount of work that need to be done that this time, as it was mainly dusting and sweeping, stripping the beds of the sheets, cleaning the windows and getting the net-curtains and curtains down.
After doing that for each of the bedrooms, you had a pile of bedding, yellowing net-curtains and curtains, that would be having a good long deep soak, to determine if they were saveable or not.
The arm work out you were getting from all the cleaning was great for the moment, but was sure that you were going to feel it tomorrow though. Once you were satisfied with how all the bedrooms currently looked, you started on the bathrooms as they were both very grubby.
By the time you finished the bathrooms, you were sweaty, dirty and very sore, from all the scrubbing, bending down and being on your hands and knees. You thought about starting on the bottom floor but decided to save your back instead.
As you were coming down the stairs, you heard the sounds of an engine being turned off and then watched as the front door open, to show your vampire who stood there grinning at you.
As he goes to place a kiss on you, you had to push him away and tell him that you were dirty, sweaty and very gross from cleaning, but Eddie didn't care as he kissed you anyway. He then asked how your cleaning day went as he looked at the pile of laundry at the bottom of the stairs.
You told him of everything that had you done, what was to be done next time you were here and that all you wanted to do now is go home and a nice hot bath, and soothe your aching body.
Eddie teasingly said that you need one, so you shoved him hard and told him to take the laundry with him. He picked it up and suggested going to Steve's as his parents were away and could use his large bath but you informed him, that you and Dustin were having a movie night, after your bath but you would spend the whole day with them tomorrow, and could do anything.
Hearing that Eddie just grinned at you as he rubbed his hands together, the gears in his brains were turning already as he began to plot and you were starting to think maybe saying might of been a bad thing.
You shook your head at him, as you grabbed your grab bag, and leaving the clean supplies for the next time you come over. You left the house with Eddie behind you, taking the laundry as commanded, so you locked up and walked to Eddie van, kissing him.
Eventually you pulled away from him, making him pout which made you smile before promising that he would get more tomorrow along with Steve.
Eddie was the first to leave, and while you sat in the car, you looked up at the house and smiled to yourself, as you couldn't wait until the three of you were living here together.
But for now, you were settling for having a bath and watching movies with your cousin, as you started the car and head home.

Miserablekings Steddie Fic Masterlist; Part one
Hi! I'm Sage and have been collecting fics since the bright early days of June 2022 and this is my masterlist! If you don't see one on here please send them my way!! But also, these don't include the oneshots or WIP's I am awaiting the ending of!
Without You I am the Last of Our Kind by Twiceasfar
Summary: Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson have been best friends since they were six years old. Over the years, they drift apart. This is the story of how they slowly find their way back to one another. Will they ever get it right?
My Thoughts: This fic absolutely destroyed my heart and soul but I will forever recommend not only this author but this work specifically!! No one dies, it doesn't follow V2 canon but there are other ways you can cry and feel angst. And this was all of them.
Lovesick in Loch Nora by Redoaktree
Summary: Even though Eddie's name has been cleared legally, he's still very much on trial in the court of public opinion. Dealing drugs isn't a lucrative occupation anymore, and getting a legitimate job in a town who still considers him a killer isn't much of an option, either. Eddie is beginning to think skipping town and starting over somewhere no one knows his name is the only chance he has left. Steve has another idea.
AKA: Steve gets Eddie a job as an anonymous columnist at a local newspaper.
My Thoughts: I look back on this fic almost every day, it's just so...hopeful? in a way. Y'know what I mean? This one smells like the dew on fresh grass and feels like the first pull on a morning cigarette as the sunrise heaves over the treetops. I love this fic.
Give me a Reason to Believe by chubbypeachhh
Summary: It's 1996. The world has long been saved, and Dustin Henderson is getting married. When he asks Eddie's daughter to be the flower girl, it brings up one little issue. Steve Harrington has no idea Eddie's daughter exists.
My Thoughts: This fic literally wrapped me in the warmest hug I've ever had the privilege to be apart of. It is the embodiment of 'What have i done to deserve this' by the pet shop boys but in the dance floors clearing and only your close friends are left there kinda way.
The one in which the time loop is fucking exhausting by badpancake
Summary: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.
My Thoughts: Do not touch me. My coworker and I opened one morning in July together and they started to describe a fic they started to read that I had to read and the moment they said one detail about this fic, I finished their sentence and stared with glassy eyes. We then proceeded to yell about it the whole time we opened our work and then they had to take a break from fanfiction after that.
Some Nice Young Satanist by theuniversesaidiloveyou
Summary: it's 1991, Robin and Steve have moved to the big city and have an annoying metalhead neighbour who may or may not be someone they haven't seen in about 5 years.
My Thoughts: You haven't read this?! I am sorry who are you? This fic is where I hope to be living in the next few years, I think I based more of my personality on Eddie Munson from this fic for it to be okay.
The Kissing Thing by thistledome
Summary: Five times Steve drunkenly made out with a boy that wasn’t Eddie + one time he soberly made out with Eddie instead
My Thoughts: This little number was tension as a piece of literature; I am in fact a lovely little whore for that though so I did indeed gobble this in a few hours. It is fantastically enough plot and enough camaraderie to be more than 1 chapter and by God am I glad that it is.
if i dont make it back from where ive gone (just know ive loved you all along) by theoddapocolypse
Summary: On his thirteenth birthday, Eddie Munson received his first kiss. Steve had snuck out from his home, just to bring Eddie a cupcake and the gift he’d made for him. A guitar pick with a hole drilled into the top so that Steve could make it into a necklace.
Eddie had immediately put it on and had felt overwhelmed with how much he loved his best friend.
My Thoughts: I have made some feral fluff noises and then I made whatever it was while reading this. I don't know how I didn't suffocate myself from screaming into my pillow.
Do you Mind? (Will You Mind?) by Greenofclubs
Summary: Look. It’s not Steve’s fault. It isn’t! It’s just that someone can only get hit on the head so many times before their brain starts cracking, and Eddie Munson is always thinking so GODDAMN LOUD.
My Thoughts: Look... I am a sucker for this kind of shit. You put mind reading in front of me in any media? I will literally gobble back that like chocolate pudding.
#these obviously include some of the bigger well known ones#but thats how it be#good things are great things#pls read these#uhm especially without you i am the last of our kind#:)#steddie fic rec#fic recs#steddie#eddie x steve#steve x eddie#stranger things#ao3#this is also part one i will be posting more but my brain got juiced and i want to be able to put my whole into writing how i felt about#these fics#bc i love them

Notes while watching episode 2:
Tldr, this season is still pretty fun. Of course they’re introducing more of the mysteries, so the tone (and my screen) has gone darker. I’m really sick of the plot centering around Nancy and Jonathan just not being able to talk to each other. We’ve had it since the beginning I’m DONE. Stop introducing side characters when you don’t have any idea what to do with your main ones. I’m hoping we get more of Lucas this season, he barely had like two minutes of screen time (which is a trend from last season) and also no one cared about billy. But of course, we knew that.
Anyway here is the long version of my notes:
The way I GASPED when Powell and Callahan stepped out of the police cruisers and Powell is the chief now I screamed bitch. My favorite minor characters are HERE.
I have Jonathan’s haircut right now rip
Everytime I am forced to watch children kiss each other I feel my soul slip away. (Although the flower thing was lowkey cute)
Mike not hugging Will is pure homophobia I’m gonna throw up.
“I heard a lot about your sister” unfortunately, we all have.
Glad to see that Murray is still dialed to 1000 forever.
They are really trying to make Jonathan look like an extra in Almost Famous and it’s just. Not working.
They really are out here shoving Steve into youth xs size polos and bitch I’m HERE for it.
“Alone we totally suck” Steve and robin platonic soulmates 4ever
Bennys burgers is now the teenage rage place obsessed with that.
“The devil lives here in Hawkins” yeah and the devil’s name is Nancy’s wardrobe
Claudia Henderson my beloved.
The way Dustin is defending Eddie and saying he knows that he’s too good a person to hurt Chrissy, and Max saying how scared Eddie looked and putting together the Upside Down pieces just breaks my fucking heart. No one cared about billy no one cared about billy.
People need to start fucking believing Joyce. She’s been right about everything for four seasons now stop staying no to her.
I am very similar to Joyce in that I am in love with Jim Hopper.
I am DEEPLY claustrophobic that torture scene was A Lot.
Wills deep man voice is freaking me out he’s a grown human now I’m gonna barf he was such a squishy baby in season 1.
Obsessed that Will is lowkey good at roller skating. He’s such a fruit.
Someone called Mike a twig and I thought he said TWINK.
Jason the WASP can eat my shorts PLEASE don’t tell me he becomes part of the main group I hate his dumb face. I only have room in my heart for one stupid prep and that spot is FILLED by STEVEN HARRINGTON
Nancy and Jonathan actually talk to each other and communicate challenge. “Slow motion breakup with Nancy?” VIBES
I don’t understand why Angela keeps calling El a snitch? When the teacher asked if something was going on El said there wasn’t, but the teacher saw through it. Like, she tried to cover for you, sorry that your bullying isn’t subtle.
When I heard that psycho killer baseline I genuinely had to pause the show to calm myself down that song is SO FUCKING GOOD
Jason the prep is just Hawkins’s version of Archie Andrews I’m gonna cry with this vigilante shit.
“See ya later. Alligator.” Steve Harrington my BELOVED. When he said that he looked so dead inside <3
I think Lucas has said about eight words this season and I’m Tired. He was barely in season 3 and only existed as a punch line for the joke of being constantly broken up with by Max. They’ve added a hundred new characters and have totally cast him aside which is ALSO on trend. Doesn’t mean I fucking like it though.
Reefer Rick is just Steve.
Okay when Steve was talking about attending to all the customers equally……. Not just babes…….. bisexuality……..
(Also some random punk walked in behind him and punk kid is my new kilt guy)
For some lovely lovely angst I am now headcanoning a scene where vecna gets in Steve’s head and uses Barb’s death and funeral against him like the reporter kid. I think that seeing Steve go through that guilt would be delicious.
Mike calling out Will for being a douche when really he’s just gay and Over It. “Why am I the bad guy” Mike you’ve been a dick for four seasons. Maybe look internally.
El just claw this bitch’s eyes out already. YES SKATE TO THE FACE GO GIRL.
Dustin is so annoying fr he’s the best. “Is that foot?” “No that’s just a shoe.” Steve and Dustin #DreamTeam
Movies and tv stop being too dark for me to see what’s happening challenge.
The little trumpet noises Robin makes SHES SO CUTE.
“Yeah yeah, on Dustin’s mother” this is some fucking Claudia slander and I will not stand for it.
All steve knows is eat hot chip, moan when other boys press up against him, and lie.
Eddie (rightfully) being treated like he’s been traumatized. No one cared about billy no one cared about billy.
They filled Eddie in on all the upside down shit right away. No one cared about billy no one cared about billy.
Vecna doesn’t feel like an Upside Down thing to me. I mean, he’s clearly in the Upside Down, and is a part of it? But the way he’s like up in these people’s heads is weird. I don’t think he’s any part of the mind Flayer because we had that bitch for two seasons, they’d be finished with that.
Also not the demogorgons being able to fly. These bitches have seriously evolved like the fucking graboids in Tremors 1-3.

i love hearing what you have to say about season 4!! i promise it’s not too long lol, anyway i have a question for you: what do you think the next season holds for mike & el? i’m a little worried tbh
ahhh thank you !! same rules apply: spoilers ahead, so please read no further and blacklist/filter out the ‘s4′, ‘st4′, ‘spoilers’ tags if you don’t want to see anything !!
i’m going to talk about them both as individuals and as a pair but first, i have to say that i don’t personally feel like you have to worry about them breaking up or anything again this season. i think s4 is really going to establish romantic jopper and once that happens, i don’t see them, mileven, or jancy not being endgame unless someone actually dies. which -- i’m not going to think about the possibility of anyone dying until i’m forced to confront it, so. this is fiction and it’s already unrealistic and i’m gonna take my ‘everyone survives, happiness all around, time to relax’ endings and go. anyway, i would love to add lumax to this list but i honestly think it could go either way depending on what happens in s4. that’s a different essay, though.
i tend to think that the most important dynamic on the show is the one between the whole group and i just don’t really see them spending much more time trying to develop romantic relationships outside of the ones set up since s1/2. maybe steve, robin, and will get love interests, maybe they decide to develop dustin and suzie more, maybe suzie is never even mentioned again, idk. but these will probably all be secondary -- as in less screen time, not less important than the main romances, but probably still less developed. unless it happens to be a new person added to the main cast. which, as of now, the only new mains are brett and priah who has gone from recurring to regular. so.
i think s3 showed how messy and complicated romantic relationships (or, really just relationships in general) can be. everyone was arguing, there was miscommunication all around, everyone thought they knew what was best, no one was seeing eye to eye. but when it comes down to it, they would do anything for each other. they understand each other better than anyone else ever could. i can’t see them spending another season on breakups and romance drama after the ending of s3.
mike and el have already been separated once before. this time, mike knows for sure that she’s alive and that’s she’s with the byers. this time, el won’t be kept completely isolated away from everyone else. they’ve made plans to meet for the holidays. they can still call and talk to each other as much as they want. i’m hoping they handle being separated this time better than they did in s2. i don’t want mike to be moping and i don’t want el to spend a lot of the season thinking about how much she misses him. in fact, i think in their case that some distance could be good for them. the same for jancy and jopper, too, honestly. it’ll be nice to see them existing outside of these relationships while still acknowledging how important they are.
as far as i know, the byers and el stuff has not started filming yet so all there is to speculate on are rumors, the audition tapes, and logical guesses about where the story goes after s3. el obviously moves away with the byers. we still don’t know where. she’ll still be mourning hopper and trying to figure out life without her powers. and, of course, she’ll be in a long distance relationship with mike. i think she’ll be having a hard time and she’ll wish that mike was around, but she’ll realize she’s got a pretty good support system around her now with the byers, too. i’m very, very excited for more joyce and el content particularly, but there’s gotta be some great scenes with her and will and jonathan as well.
there’s only one audition tape that i can confidently tie into the byers + el plot(s?) and it’s the queen bee/mean girl character ‘angela’. if we’re running with the whole ‘there may be some truth to the audition vids’ thing, then this one teases that el will be going to school and that angela will be bullying her. this is something she would probably want to talk about with mike (b i g troy s1 vibes) but i don’t know if she actually would ? so this is probably more a thing that el and will could bond over or that she could talk about with joyce or maybe jonathan. i do think there will be at least a few calls between the two of them before the action really hits and the whole group is (hopefully...) reunited.
so, el -- at least in the beginning of s4 -- will be going to school where ‘angela’ bullies her, forming a bond with joyce + will + jonathan and becoming part of the family, mourning hopper (+ hopefully having conversations about him + his past with joyce), missing her friends back in hawkins, continuing to learn how to navigate life without her powers, and trying to maintain a long distance relationship with mike.
mike... i’ve been seeing some wild theories about him today but they aren’t really that far-fetched i think. first, going back to the audition tapes, the ‘eddie’ audition i saw makes it seem like mike is going to be part of the hellfire club with dustin. i’ve recently learned that there’s another version of the scene where ‘eddie’ is only talking to dustin and mike might not be a part of the club after all. if he isn’t part of the club, then the basketball v. hellfire, jocks v. nerds thing turns into lucas v. dustin and mike’s probably there just caught in the middle while max is off distancing herself from everyone.
at this point, i really want mike and max to become good friends. i think the end of s3 gave them the perfect opportunity. s4 max has s2 mike vibes. it’s not the same situation at all, but he knows kinda what she’s feeling and they could connect through that + the fact that they’ll both be missing el. i also just really want... some wheeler siblings content. i’m hopeful that s4 gives us good nancy and mike scenes bc there’s no reason not to give us good nancy and mike scenes (+holly!). however...
while there’s proof that gaten and sadie and natalia and priah have all been filming since production restarted, and while i have reason to believe that caleb has been filming a lot inside/at the studio recently... there’s no evidence that finn has been on set. there’s none for maya and joe, either, but people have said that finn isn’t even in atlanta right now. maybe he is and maybe he just hasn’t been seen and maybe he’ll pop back up tomorrow. or, maybe he already filmed whatever he needed to film for hawkins before production stopped.
the wild theory that’s popped up today is that everything gets to be too much for him in hawkins and he just... hops on a train to go visit el + the byers. i don’t know if i buy it, but it is interesting to note that he was sitting with them at the table read. and since we can guess that steve and robin will still be working at the video store, robin and nancy will be investigating pennhurst together, lucas and max may have some angst, joyce and murray are probably teaming up for the finding/saving hopper plot, and el is going to bond with will and jonathan, it seems like the order might mean a little something. i’d even bet that dustin and erica have scenes with them bonding over d&d.
now this theory pretty much only exists because no one’s seen finn on set and one of the paps posted some pics of some trains. there’s also always theories about how there will be issues at home with the wheeler fam and if that’s going to happen, what better time than in s4 when all of his friends are pulling away and el’s gone again. so if he is missing el (and will) that much, and if he has any reason to worry about her and how she’s doing, or if the party becoming distant and issues at home are weighing on him and he feels like he needs to get away, he’s absolutely the type to venture off on a train by himself. i don’t know how it would work since he’s definitely supposed to still be in school and his friends/nancy at least would notice he’s gone, but.. it’s fun to think about and we’ve got zero actual content to go off of right now.
another way i could see mike’s plot going is that he’s the one trying to keep the party together this season. playing mediator with lucas and dustin, becoming better friends with max, being the connection between the hawkins plot and the byers plot (along with nancy).
there was also talk of him joining the track team bc the track has been set up with hawkins high colors for filming. but mike ‘this isn’t a stupid sports game’ wheeler? i don’t think so... basically, no one knows at the moment what’s happening with mike wheeler in s4 lol.
s4 mike is just like s4 byers fam -- a complete mystery to me currently. i don’t personally think that he’ll be leaving school and hopping on a train to visit el. i think he’ll be a part of the hellfire club with dustin, or that he won’t and instead will be attempting to keep the party from completely disbanding. i hope that we get wheeler siblings scenes and that max and mike have a breakthrough and become better friends. i also feel like he’ll be having some complicated feelings about hopper, the last interaction they had, etc. and, again, the whole long distance thing with el.
so... mike and el broke up in s3. it was messy. but then they reconciled. and then hopper “died”. s3 ended with them at this weird place where she’s heard him say that he loves her and she’s told him that she loves him back. things are a little awkward in the scene bc everything has changed at this point, but a kiss, an ‘i love you’, planning to meet up on the holidays, and promising to call frequently all sounds like they’re back together and going to try making the long distance thing work to me.
i think they’ll be together when s4 starts. i think that we’ll probably only see them talking on the phone or their radios for the first few eps. maybe we’ll see flashbacks or something to them being together on the holidays. the distance might be hard and they’re definitely going to be missing each other. like... el doesn’t have mike or hopper with her now and i’m thinking the party is going to be drifting apart, plus they’re both probably going to have other personal issues that have nothing to do with each other or the party. maybe they’ll be experiencing some emotional distancing of their own while dealing with the aftermath of hopper’s “death”, the move, and whatever’s going on with them at home and at school. i think that once they reunite (probably not until the last half of the season), they’re likely to be stronger than ever.
now, onto personal theories that have zero basis. for some reason, i can’t get it out of my head that this season might dive into psychological horror a little bit ? like a greatest fears type of thing ?? and i keep thinking about brenner popping back up and using the people el loves to get to her or something and 👀👀
#this took forever to write and it's so long and for WHAT#when i tell you i've been typing and deleting and typing and deleting and typing again all day#anyway.... a l l of this is speculation pretty much bc the byers/el haven't even started filming yet#and there's no info on mike as of now#these don't even really touch on what could happen at the end of the season#bc i just have... no idea what's really happening or how it could possibly end#there was that whole thing about s5 being the part 2 of s4 so like...#what if we don't even get the reunions this season lol#nah i have to believe that everyone will be back together by the end#answered#s4#st4#spoilers#thank you for the question 💖 !!#sorry it's basically nonsense on my part though#me @ me: how can you ramble so much but say so little#Anonymous#idk if this even makes any sense but it's 2 am now and i've been staring at it forever so
