ao3 authors who have no social media are are so mystical. they really be writing and posting some of the most perfectly crafted pieces of media and then disappearing without a trace

flickered in the night (for only you)

“Hey,” Will hears footsteps behind him, then a light hand settles on his shoulder. Mike gently nudges him to turn around and tilts his head up with his finger. His eyes are filled with so much sincerity. “It’s going to be okay.”

The way Mike says it, his tone so soft and genuine, almost makes Will believe him.

My take on Flickergate!

something for you on ao3

“I didn’t even get you anything, oh my god. Mom, why didn’t we get Steve anything?”

Steve opens his mouth, probably ready to defend Claudia’s honor by explaining that he explicitly asked for no gifts, but Eddie nudges the frantic Dustin crawling on the floor with his foot.

“We got Steve something, ‘member?”

poison in my veins - Steddie fic

In the summer of ‘89 Steve Harrington is the newest bartender at the surprisingly popular (and very gay) bar, The Poison Pear. Alongside Robin, Steve starts his first night on his own with confidence—until Eddie Munson shows up in tight leather, messy curls, smudged eyeliner, and a teasing grin. Turns out the metalhead not only plays with his band at the bar, but also works there on the busy weekends.

Steve quickly spirals into a bisexual crisis while working long, hectic nights with Eddie who becomes so much more than just a ‘save the world’ acquaintance and (pretty, intriguing, oh did he mention pretty?) coworker.

With shared trauma to heal from and uncharted desires between them, Steve falls fast and falls hard into Eddie’s open arms.

+++

“Are you wearing makeup?”

“It’s eyeliner, Harrington, all the cool guys are wearing it. It’s understandable why you wouldn’t know that.”

“Fuck off, Munson.”

Eddie only smirks. “To your first night,” he says as he clinks their glasses together. Steve nods at that as they both down the shot, eyes locking as they wince past the burn in their throats. But Steve knows it’s more than the whiskey warming his chest.

my ronance (robin x nancy) 5+1 fic is finally out on ao3! link above :)

word count: 7.2k

summary:

Steve has his sights set on Nancy, so naturally, Robin agrees to help get them back together. She’s never had a problem being Steve’s wingwoman before, but something is different this time. That's when she realizes that she's crushing on Nancy, too.

OR

five times robin tries to help steve get the girl, and one time he does the same for her.

i’d grab the kitchen scissors (and cut myself to slivers for you)

Mrs. Wheeler opens her mouth, closes it, then opens it back, then closes it again. Mike can clearly see her struggle to understand why the fuck he cut his hair and when she opens her mouth again he half expects the question to roll off her tongue.

“Do you want me to fix it up for you?” is what comes out instead.

or the one where Mike cuts his hair, Karen and Mike are both at their wits end, and a certain someone makes the whole situation a bit more bearable.

tinder; steddie

modern au | one shot | 6.5k

summary: “steve is having the world's worst tinder date. eddie is being harassed by the bartender at the same restaurant. they are both locked in the bathroom and need to get out as soon as possible.”

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

“I'm Eddie, by the way” He decides to reveal, with the absurd notion that, if he's going to stay there for more minutes than necessary, he should at least make it worth his while. He purses his lips and shrugs a little, wanting to believe he doesn't sound as pathetic as he suddenly feels. “I'm hiding.”

For the thousandth time, Steve frowns. He wrinkles his nose, in fact, and a snort ends up slipping from his lips unconsciously.

“Really?” he inquires, half-surprised and extremely quizzical. A hand falls to his chest as he speaks again, this time with a soft smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. “Me too,” he confesses.

I’m BACK! 

yes, i know that he's my ex (but can't two people reconnect?) | 4.3k words

And then another text comes in, and it’s Mike's new address. Will knew that Mike had moved, but he had absolutely no interest in learning where. But amidst the hate, and confusion, and the burden on his life that was Mike Wheeler, a familiar feeling of butterflies settled right below Will’s chest. He means, sure, he loves his friends, but he doesn’t love parties, and he’d much rather prefer a night in, asleep, but… did it really matter whose bed he was sleeping in? Sure. He’ll go see Mike Wheeler. Even if it’s a bad idea… right? — OR, Will gets a text from a certain ex and decides to go to his new place and reconnect with him. As friends.
