" I'm Batty 4 U "
For the @steddiemicrofic
September Prompt: Charm || 548 Words || Rating: T ||
Warnings: implied verbally absuvie parent, implied period-typical homophobia
It sweeps through the group like wildfire after the whole Vecna ordeal. Something about everyone trying to go back to normal, re-engaging with non-world-ending topics.
Out window shopping, El happens upon a charm bracelet display and within the week convinces Hopper to buy one for her and Max. And who’s to deny the girl that's suffered through so much.
El states it as her “momento of who she is, and those who helped her find that definition.” All while thumbing the rainbow and sunflower charms.
So it’s no surprise when Robin, Nancy, and Erica are seen wearing their own charm bracelet designs after Girl’s Night. Then through a spidering chain of conversations and convincing, the rest of the party soon each have custom bracelets.
For Steve though, the issue is that he’s just not a bracelet sort of guy. The occasional pinching when it doesn’t sit right. Constant jangling and shifting every time you move. It’s not for him.
(Plus he knows his Dad would make him throw it out if he ever saw it. “Jewelry isn’t for men.” and all that. (Of course I don’t agree, Robin. But I still don’t want to risk it getting tossed.))
Until Robin solves the problem for him. Turning his bracelet into a keychain for his car keys. And he didn’t realize just how much he’d come to care for said keychain once it’d stop pinching his wrist.
Exactly as El had painted it from the get-go; a constant reminder that he’s more than the harsh words his dad sneers as “encouragement”.
Of who he matters to and of who matters to him. His family.
But it’s not for another few months that his keychain gains a companion.
“Hey, uh. Hey, Stevie.”
They’d danced around one another for weeks. From exchanged glances at the hospital, to touching under the guise of lending a hand, pulling excuses to spend time together.
“Yea?”
Finally culminating in Steve getting fed up and testing the waters with a kiss ‘hello’.
“I know we’ve only been technically dating for a month now. But I’m pretty sure I remember you being a big relationship guy back in high school, and I figured well ‘Stevie probably never had someone buy him the cheesy anniversary gifts he bought for others’-”
“They weren't cheesy, they were well thought out-”
“And so, I got you something as a faux sort of ‘Happy One Month Anniversary’ gift.”
Eddie shoves the little trinket into Steve’s hands, forcing him to drop his book.
“Small towns, especially Hawkins in particular, suck and so I figured this is as public as we’d be able to be. And I know the bat was maybe a bold choice considering the bites and all that shit but- Actually maybe this was a bad idea- Ya know what, give it back right now, Stevie. This was stupid- I’m gonna do something else.”
Deftly leaning away, Steve hooks his arm around his boyfriend so he can’t lunge for the keychain again.
“Oh hell no. My boyfriend gave this to me, it’s mine now. You can’t take Ozzy from me.”
“Ozzy? What?”
“Yeah, the little bat charm. His name’s Ozzy, he told me so himself.”
“What-?? Shit- Jesus Christ, you’re so lame. Come here so I can kiss your lame, adorable face.”

I do think Andrew Wells's monologue about Faith ("the Dark Slayer") in Dirty Girls is kind of funny, but it always bothers me a bit when I see it quoted unironically in other contexts as being somehow actually descriptive of or insightful about Faith as a character. Surely the whole joke is that Andrew has never met Faith before, has never so much as mentioned her before today, doesn't in fact know the first thing about her and is generally a terrible choice of person to introduce her to the impressionable Potentials?
I mean, okay, maybe "her name alone invokes awe" sounds impressive in isolation, but this is also the man who was convinced Faith killed a Vulcan. He has no idea why Faith was "seduced to the dark side" or who the people she actually hurt were (what "family" is he talking about, for example?).
Actually, I guess my question would be: at this point in the show, why are people letting him do this?
I get that Buffy can't be shown telling the Potentials all about Faith because Buffy's whole deal in this half of the season is meant to be not realizing she needs to talk to them like people sometimes if she wants them to actually trust her (and because Faith is somebody she doesn't like to talk about anyway, except for whenever it was she decided to tell Spike all about Faith's doe eyes and leather pants). And Willow (who knew Faith at her worst but has also seen a little of her post-prison in LA) can't be the one to do it either, because she's in the hospital with Shannon all episode. But Xander and Giles and Dawn are all right there in Buffy's house too. And while, sure, all three of them will have somewhat distorted views about Faith, at least they've all actually met her (or have fake memories of meeting her which she shares, which amounts to the same thing in practice).
I just think we'd have learned a lot about all three characters -- and not just Faith -- from how they chose to talk about her. Xander was actually one of Faith's first victims: is this something he's ready to talk about, and how much does it still color his impression of her? Does Giles blame himself at all for what happened to the Slayer he agreed to look after and left to stew in a motel for months? What was Dawn's first impression of Faith, and what does she remember Faith doing?
But, uh. I guess the writers decided to go with the funny fake flashback of Faith killing Spock instead. Which, well. Also a choice.
