Okay this is a bundle of things that have smashed together in my brain and won’t get out:

and my saucy This Steve with This Billy post ~

(and some nsfw non-Harringrove butler art I saw on twitter but am too chicken to link lol)

Enjoy my butler!Steve, Addams family AU! Here’s the prologue/ch. 1 ~

Read on ao3 ~

(please take pity on me; it’s been over a decade since I watched any Addams family content)

Billy didn’t have much choice.

With a new injury every other week and scars enough for a lifetime, he was through. He didn’t have much strength left, physically or emotionally to stay in this house. Under that man’s roof.

The letter was a bit too appropriately timed.

The letter informing him of his mother’s dead. Of his inheritance.

So he went. He packed as much as would fit into a duffel bag, threw his most precious music collection items into the backseat, and high-tailed it out of there. His Camaro was the only good thing about his life, and he wouldn’t stick around to see it destroyed or confiscated.

But as he drove across America, using his part-time job earnings to eat, fill the tank, and shower in motels, that letter echoed in his mind. It currently lived wedged under the mirror of his visor, but he didn’t need to read it to know its contents:

Dearest William,

We’re happy to announce your mother’s passing and apologize for the delay in reaching you. More shall be explained upon your arrival, but know that you are formally, informally, and most dreadfully and happily invited to move into your inheritance:

1666 Ravens Grove

Cemetery Ridge

Hawkins, IN

The house is in pristine condition while your grandparents and extended family are away in Europe. They look forward immensely to meeting you, and insist that you make yourself at home. You’ve endured the cruelty of the world long enough.

Most ghastly,

The Addams

P.S. Happy birthday, for all glorious ends have their beginnings.

Billy didn’t know his family on his mother’s side. He didn’t know them on his father’s either. He knew more about his stepmother and stepsister’s corner of the universe more than anything. It sounded like someone else lived in the house but wasn’t home at the moment. Then how could Billy inherit it?

After a day of driving, it occurred to him that the address was odd. He pulled off into a town to visit the library, and sure enough, 1666 Ravens Grove existed in Hawkins, Indiana. Just old, he reckoned, if it had an extra line in the address.

By the second day of driving, Billy had begun to doubt and regret his decision. He didn’t know these people. His mother had died after abandoning him years ago, for Christ’s sake. What kind of people were they if they made such a person?

But with an aching rib on one side, and a sorely bruised eye on the other, he couldn’t go back.
