GARETH AND JEFF MASTERPOST
headcanons, backstories and more regarding my interpretation of their characters in the Sabbath series.
feel free to use these interpretations in your own fanfics! lmk if you do!
JEFF SUMMERS
Jeff’s a certified genius. A’s in every class he’s ever taken, ex captain of Hawkins High’s Academic Decathlon team, obsessed with both modern history and geography. Unlike both Gareth and Eddie, Jeff actually paid attention in school and turned out… relatively okay. He’s not even close to popular, those who’ve met him honestly think he’s a bit of an asshole and they’re not wrong. He can be defensive, snarky, and even rude, but both Gareth and Eddie know deep down inside he’s very sweet.
Speaking of the two, Jeff met Gareth and Eddie during his first year of high school. The pair, who were two grades ahead of him at the time, spotted him reading a D&D book and took him in  with open arms. They introduced him to the hellfire club and eventually the group would go on to create Corroded Coffin. 
Jeff’s parents are just as smart as he. His mother works for NASA, his father a surgeon. When they found out he’d been spending all of his extra time at band practice they weren’t pleased, pleading with Jeff to focus on his studies. Inevitably they realized Jeff’s grades never dropped and somehow the boy genius managed to balance hellfire, the band and school extremely well. As a reward for his aptitude, his parents granted him permission to turn their garage into the band's studio and from then on supported him fully. 
Gareth came out to Jeff as trans after a year after the two had met. Jeff literally didn’t care at all, like was actually annoyed Gareth made such a big deal out of it, commenting “If you’re a girl then the chair i’m sitting on is a tree and Eddie is primordial goo.” 
Jeff’s always felt like a bit of a third wheel between Eddie and Gareth, being considerably younger than them and having met years after the two had originally met. They were always so close. It never really got to Jeff as he felt it wouldn’t be fair to be upset when he spent so much time studying, but it was always something he noticed. It’s different now though. Ever since Eddie met Steve. 
Surprising to a lot of people Jeff’s had quite the love life having dated multiple girls throughout high school. Despite this he’ll swear up and down he’s never been in love and by all means that’s almost definitely the truth. He just doesn’t get the hype, which is fine. If he does decide to go to college which he’s currently considering, he’ll be sure to experiment or whatever. If he remembers. 
GARETH HOROWITZ
Gary’s a people person. Charismatic, charming, funny, overwhelmingly easy to talk to  and all around chill. It’s extremely hard to dislike the guy, no matter what you throw at him he’ll always greet it with a smile. He was the first out of the three friends to express an interest in music, having picked up drumming at an early age thanks to his father, an ex-musician. He’s that stereotypical drummer kid, drumming his fingers on every surface he comes across, constantly thinking about the musical instrument. It’s everything to him. 
He met Eddie when they were only children. Eddie was an instant outcast at school and Gareth, being the extreme people person he’s always been, quickly befriended him. They hung out all the time, shared similar interests, eventually Eddie even began staying at Gareth’s house during the school week. 
Then, Eddie had to move in with his uncle in Hawkins and Gareth’s parents, being fans of Eddie and their son’s friendship, followed suit. This was around the time Gareth came out as trans which received a lot of backlash from their convervative town, so it was perfect timing. 
Gareth knew he was ‘different’ from a very young age and expressed those feelings with his extremely modern parents straight away. They were quick to support him, albeit not fond of the name he's chosen for himself but alas.
His mother is a sex therapist and his dad is unemployed, or as he’d like to call it, ‘an entrepreneur’ growing and selling hippy home remedies out of their house. They aren’t extremely well off, sure, but they’re extremely happy and supportive of their son. It couldn’t be better. 
Despite dating as kids Gareth has no romantic feelings for Eddie whatsoever. He sees Eddie as a brother more than anything, someone he loves to his fullest extent albeit platonically. They grew up together, his parents raised the both of them. When Jeff befriended the pair of them that feeling only extended towards him- Gareth truly, wholey, loves his friends. 
And, anyway, he’s into girls. Always has been. Another thing his parents are fully aware of, having caught him multiple times snooping through his mothers books to look at nude pictures of women as a kid. He’s girl crazy. Feral. Uncontrollably so. He’s chased after every woman in Hawkins and has been successful a fair amount despite being trans. He’s well read, you know? 
The thing about Gareth is that he’s very stupid. No, it’s not because he’d dyslexic (which he is,) it’s because he doesn’t even try. If the subject doesn’t involve music he doesn't pay attention. That’s why he, just like Eddie, has repeated multiple times and only graduated last year. In Eddie’s case it was a choice, but for Gareth... Well...
surnames made up by me, will change them if they're given canon ones*

““And done.” Eddie slides back on the crate and throws the pencil onto his messy desk before turning back to look at his creation. Punk Steve. He finds himself surprised by how good Steve looks with the eye makeup, maybe even getting lost in his eyes for a bit. In the most hardcore way possible, of course.”
I decided to draw punk Steve Harrington from “Sabbath” by Schlatt on ao3

Drop a headcanon! Sorry I can’t be specific <3
in my canon both Steve and Eddie are bi! i know a lot of ppl hc Eddie to be gay which is fine but i really feel like he doesn't really care. he gets 0 play anyway so he'd probably describe himself as unlabeled because he's never had to think about it.
Steve on the other hand thinks about it a bit too much lol

i could always... write a short fic just about gareth if you guys want. i wouldn't write a y/n fic, i never have, but i could pair him with an oc y'all can project yourselves on to. alternatively it could be about something different. like, maybe his diary? orrr just a day in the life? i think that'd be fun. lmk!
