✧･ﾟ: * July 2022 Harringrove Starter Pack PART TWO! *:･ﾟ✧

I’m BACK. with starter pack part 2. don’t cream your pants. I still haven’t finished my paper and I definitely haven’t gotten any work tasks done today.

this list features only one fic per author so we can celebrate even more creators ♡ ♡ ♡ (thank you @hecatescrossroads for the idea!!)

◢ Billy Hargrove Needs a Nap - lilpeas [74,312; E]

It’s one thing to be a light sleeper in this shitty town that won’t shut up at night, but it’s another thing entirely to fall asleep on Steve Harrington’s shoulder during last period English.

◢ break (like waves) - @witchsickness [93,187; E]

‘We’re good together,’ Harrington says to the darkness above. Not a question. Matter of fact. He turns to Billy, a smile sweet enough to make Billy want to do something reckless. Something stupid. ‘I’m telling you, heartbreaker. We’re gonna be unstoppable.’

Billy wants to ask. If he means tomorrow. If he means just for the game.

Wants to ask if he means forever.

He’s never wanted anyone to mean forever before.

or; falling (in love), the hard way

◢ break up with your girlfriend (’cause i’m bored) - @the-copperkid [15,604; E]

@umissedconnections: Bambi eyes. m4m. i was rippin cigs in the sae p-lot. u made urself puke 2 make room 4 more beer. incredible? ur my hero PLS say ur into guys

* Steve finds he has a secret admirer who's continuously hitting on him via his university's Missed Connections Twitter account. // Tommy and Billy are the worst roommates ever.

◢ Cabbage Patch Kids - @callieb [15,026; NR]

Billy doesn't eat vegetables. He doesn't eat the limp disgusting cabbage they hand out in the school cafeteria, won't touch the merest hint of green in Susan's cooking even when his dad is glaring at him across the table. He won't eat vegetables to keep himself healthy, in spite of all the warnings they give him in health class.

He won't even eat vegetables when Steve Harrington cooks him dinner. Right?

◢ cherry pie - @brawlite and @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger [133,828; E]

Billy Hargrove lives for summer. Endless sunshine, heavily chlorinated pools, roaming ice cream trucks, and unencumbered freedom? There’s nothing better.

Even being stuck in Hawkins can’t ruin the summer for him. He eats it up, devouring every day whole.

◢ dried up, half full - @lymricks [60,016; E]

Steve’s been coming out here searching for a monster in the woods. He’s finally found one.

“What do you want, Hargrove?”

◢ falling for you in hawkins, indi-fucking-ana (series) - @lazybakerart [294,822+; E]

Billy gets his shit together. Steve figures some stuff out. They fall in love.

◢ i hear the secrets that you keep (when you’re talking in your sleep) - @oepheliawrites [45,095; M]

Billy’s there the way that he’s a lot of places nowadays, sort of absent-mindedly, like he’s not sure how it happened or why and is going somewhere else in his mind anyway.

Steve watches him more than ever now, and Billy rarely watches back.

(or five times billy really needed some sleep, and one time he needed something else entirely)

◢ Incident at Castle Byers - @flippyspoon [3,639; G]

Will learns something about Billy Hargrove and feels a little less alone.

◢ if i fall asleep with my hands held tight - @elysiumwaits [28,796; M]

Billy keeps sneaking in Steve's window as the months go on: a story in ten parts.

◢ lover with a radar phone (series) - @bewires [86,717; E]

Steve is sure Billy won’t be back for more after the first time. Why would he? Steve’s pretty aware, at this point, that beyond his epic babysitting game and his hair, he has fairly little to offer in life. Billy’s gorgeous, and he’s smart, and he’s got better things to do than nail Nancy Wheeler’s dumbass ex-boyfriend.

(Spoilers: Billy absolutely does not.)

◢ Take Me Home Tonight - @heckinahandbasket [81,998; E]

The ghost of Billy Hargrove leaned in the open window of Steve’s car with that trademark smirk and, honestly, Steve was kind of impressed by how detailed his own hallucination could be. “Wanna fuc-What the shit? HARRINGTON?” They blinked at one another for about ten seconds before Steve’s brain finally managed to fire off a thought. “You’re real?” Steve couldn’t stop the words from spilling out of his mouth, his own stupidity a constant echo in his empty head. Billy’s face reflected his thoughts as he yanked on the door handle until Steve reached over to hit the lock with shock-numb fingers. “Real fucking freezing. Let me in, pencil dick.”

Or: The Pretty Woman AU literally nobody asked for.

◢ Under the Covers - @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger [87,788; M]

Steve is (maybe) a little bit still in love with Nancy Wheeler and (maybe) trying to figure himself out-- between the night terrors and the babysitting and the general weirdness that is Hawkins, Indiana-- before he graduates.

Billy Hargrove fits in there somewhere (probably).

◢ when the bones are good - @un-buttoned [28,411; E]

‘So,’ Tommy says around a mouthful of fries, ‘what the fuck is the deal with you and Hargrove?’

And that’s really the goddamn question, isn’t it?

He wants to know Billy. Wants to know why he is the way he is. Wants to be able to figure out what the fuck he’s thinking when he looks at Steve like that, when he touches him like it doesn’t mean shit and like it means everything all at once. Wants to know why he talks so much shit, why he needs to fight, where all that fire comes from. Why he’s so volatile, why he’s such an asshole, how he can be so fucking mean and so fucking sweet in the span of seconds, at the same time, even.

◢ you’re cold (and i burn) - @keroujack [55,919; E]

Move on. Let it heal.

Maybe that’s why Steve said yes when Max asked him to help move boxes out of Billy’s room after the dust settled. He could hear her voice. Too many. Too heavy.

Just like his wounds. His grief. Too many. Too heavy.

(Or, Steve steals the glass ashtray from Billy's bedside table and things start to go bump in the night.)

◢ Yourself or Someone Like You (series) - halfempty [792,802; E]

Maxine looked happy as they parted from Steve and walked down Main Street away from the theater. She slid into the passenger seat of Billy’s car. 'That was really fun,' she said. She looked at him like a gremlin and then smiled real cutesy. 'Did you and Steve hold hands in the popcorn?'

'I hope you had a real good time, I’m going to kill you in your sleep tonight,' Billy told her.

💞A different type of rec list ask game, to rep your own fics and other authors you enjoy.💞 Spell out your user name with fic recs. If the letter correlates to one of your fics you rec it (no duplicates use a different fic for repeat letters.) If you get to a letter you don’t have a fic title for you rec one you‘ve liked from someone else. 💖Send this to someone who might need a little love on their own fics or just like spreading the love.💖

ooo this is fun!

A - all the best djs are saving their slowest songs for last (fred/fp RIVERDALE):

Fred had always figured he’d chaperone his son’s senior prom. It’s just what he did. Went to every dance, every field trip, every PTA meeting… He was involved. It’s just… He also kind of assumed his wife would be there with him. Even after the divorce he still figured they’d go as friends. Never in a million years did he think he’d be dating his ex… whatever they were in high school.

R - riches & wonders (billy/steve STRANGER THINGS by @oepheliawrites):

Steve's teetering on the edge of something, all alone. His eyes meet Billy’s. They’re teetering on the edge of something, together. (or a handful of the bricks that build steve and billy a home.)

I - it's not your fault, so please stop your crying now (fred/fp/gladys RIVERDALE):

FP's going through a hard time. Gladys and Fred help him feel better.

E - everybody's gonna need somebody (billy & heather STRANGER THINGS):

Ginger Boy looks up, taking notice of Billy for the first time. Has the decency to actually look a little guilty. Won’t even look directly at him. The same cannot be said for Heather, who is just standing in place all wide-eyed and, not innocent, but definitely unbothered. “What?” “I told you to stop cockblocking me!”

S - show me your teeth (robin/heather STRANGER THINGS):

Robin’s not ashamed to admit she starts crying. She’s too young to die. She had high hopes for her future. Now she’s gonna die in fucking Hawkins fucking Indiana. She wanted to die somewhere more glamorous. Like New York. Or Paris. Hopefully reincarnation is real. Everything else seems to be. But as she closes her eyes, ready to accept her fate, a girlish giggle erupts in her ear, a familiar voice laughing “Gotcha!” as she’s let go of, and the previous pressure at her back goes, too.

B - blood on his skin, dripping with sin (fred/fp RIVERDALE):

He’s too focused on searching for a threat that he becomes oblivious to the kitchen lock being picked, the doorknob slowly twisting open behind him. “I don’t see anybody,” Fred says into the phone, squinting his eyes at the window as if that’ll help. “Maybe I should just go outside?” There’s footsteps slowly approaching, deliberate in their movements to remain silent. The other end of the phone has gone silent. Fred hasn’t gotten a response, maybe FP hadn’t heard him. “F? You there?” He pulls the phone away from his ear to check the connection. They’re still on a call. “FP, can you hear me?”

I - it's a feeling that you cannot miss (and it burns a hole through everyone that feels it) (mary & fp RIVERDALE):

FP stops when the mystery object in the jacket is revealed: a ziplock baggie of what is most definitely enough weed to last a week. “Ho-ly shit,” FP says, eyes lighting up and a grin breaking out on his face as he holds the bag up between himself and Mary. “Oh, there is no way,” Mary laughs, a little disbelieving, as she checks for herself that what she’s looking at is real. FP opens up the bag, takes a whiff. It’s not as strong as it could be - it’s definitely been sitting in here for a while - but it’ll do. It’ll definitely fucking do. “Thanks for looking out for us, Freddie."

L - love is like a heat wave (fred/fp RIVERDALE by @fredheads):

Summer of 1991 Riverdale's hit by a massive heat wave. Fred and FP find ways to pass the time.

L - leave you when the summer comes along (fred/fp RIVERDALE by @nadjaofstatenisland):

FP leaves for the army, in three parts.

Y - your shadow weighs a ton (billy/steve STRANGER THINGS):

There’s a very good chance Billy will not be staying here tonight. Can’t imagine whatever rich bitch heiress that owns this house is gonna want some lowlife kid like him marking up her pristine marble or whatever the fuck she’s got going on in there. Tom seems like a nice enough guy, he guesses, will probably put up a little bit of a fight to keep Billy around, but. Billy’s not getting his hopes up. Maybe he can at least get a nice hotel stay out of this little trip. As he walks down to the end of the driveway he pats his jacket pockets, thankfully finding his pack of smokes and lighter. He hadn’t thought to check when he got it back, but now that he’s itching for a smoke he was worried they might’ve been taken at the jail. He pulls a cigarette out, resting it between his teeth as he sparks up. Inhales. “Who are you?” A voice startles him. Billy looks up, catching sight of the prettiest goddamn thing he’s ever seen standing at the end of the driveway next door.

#apparently no one titles fics with L words cuz that took the longest to find lmao #riverdale fanfiction #harringrove #buckleway #my writing #briana answers things

This or That Fic Game

Rules: bold which trope you prefer (or in some cases maybe just hate the least!) out of each of the following pairs.

slowburn or love at first sight // fake dating or secret dating // enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers // oh no there’s only one bed or long-distance correspondence // hurt/comfort or amnesia // fantasy au or modern au // mutual pining or domestic bliss // smut or fluff // canon-compliant or fix-it // reincarnation or character death // one-shot or multi chapter // kid fic or road trip fic // arranged marriage or accidental marriage // high school romance or middle aged romance // time travel or isolated together // neighbours or roommates // sci-fi au or magic au // body swap or genderbend // angst or crack // apocalyptic or mundane

Thanks for tagging me @stevefuckingharrington - I never do these!

It also reminded me that I’m incredibly boring and just like one narrow slice of the fanfic pie that is canon enemies-to-lovers slow burn...

Tagging @aeon-of-neon, @saredee, @yolo-contendre, @oepheliawrites, @cherry-toxic, @letshargroovetonight, @hargrovesharrington, @gideongrace, @avalonlights and anyone who wants to play <3

I love your fanfics! Do you have favorite tropes to write or read? Do you have any fanfic recommendations for each of your favorite ships?

OH MY GOD this feels like a lie my fics are babies compared to the actual good ones in my two/three fandoms …

my favorite tropes are definitely hurt/comfort and angst. also like… a good character death when i’m in the mood to cry. i’m not above admitting it. a big fan of fix-its, as canon never seems to go the right way… and i’m always always a sucker for fluff!

i have recs for my favorite ships, of course! i don’t want to deluge you with a bunch of ships for which you have NO interest in so if you notice that i post or write for similar ships that you like… hmu with another ask and i’ll give you a bunch!

until then, i’m always gonna take the opportunity to hype up my fellow harringrove writers (i’m assuming you know i ship them if you’ve read my fics and like them too) so, if you’re looking for some great fics to tide you over until then…

check out: @hartigays, @abigailcathleen, @aspartaeme, @biillyhargroves, @roseaque, @oepheliawrites, @fredsythe, @letshargroovetonight, and @billyhargrovens !!!

#i love my fellow harringrove writers i will never not hype them up #check them out if you're into harringrove #if you're not... message me again lol i'm sorry i derailed your ask #allie answers
