steve has a book of fairytales that his mum used to read to him before his father argued that he was too old for stories

she let him keep the book, a secret between the two of them. steve has read it so many times that he can recite the stories verbatim.

for a long time, his favourite story was cinderella. but as he grew older and realised that there would be no festival, and no birds to help, his favourite instead grew to be the little mermaid.

the ending makes him tear up no matter how many times he has read it, but he understands her choice.

he, too, would throw away his chance at life if it meant the one he loved could be alive, even if they're happy with someone else. he, too, would suffer for a chance at love in the first place. he, too, would give up his voice for it.

#steve harrington #okay cinderella (disney) was released 1950 but this was specifically about a book of fairytales so the original version it is #the original little mermaid is one of my favourite fairytales and i can just picture steve waking up from a nightmare or unable to sleep #and going back to this story over and over again. yes she dies but she becomes a spirit of air and will reach heaven if she does good deeds #and it must be so comforting to him that there could be something good after unrequited love no matter how willing he is to suffer #for a chance to be loved #steve breaks down the day he rereads the story and realise that for the first time in his life he has people #who would be willing to exchange their hair for him to live #but he would throw away the dagger and accept death still #ah don't imagine steve sitting next to max or eddie's hospital bed and reading out loud and commenting on what he loves about #and relates to with each fairytale #the little mermaid (disney) came out 1989 #eddie and steve goes to see it and eddie jokes about being the eric to steve's ariel #eric is one of the best disney princes steve would absolutely be into it #eddie dressed as prince eric for halloween lmao #wow sorry to anyone reading this i completely lost my thread #my fiction library
