Masterlist

❀✿ ・゜゜・．＊* ・゜゜・．❀✿

You weren’t sure how you ended up in this situation. Five days ago you were a senior about to graduate high school, living your best life alongside your Co-Dungeon Master and best friend of 15 years, Eddie Munson. Then next thing you knew, you were being pulled into an interrogation room with police questioning you about him killing Chrissy Cunningham which you knew wasn’t true. Now you’re looking at a portal or whatever into some alternate dimension that’s also somehow in the past and an upside down version of the town you grew up with you just having jumped through said portal to escape some rabid birds, or demo bats as Dustin fondly called them. So yeah, pretty fucking crazy last few days to say the least.

You look up at said best friend who for some reason hasn’t jumped through the gate yet when you and his surrogate son Dustin already have. He, the man known for running away, was hesitating to jump through and save himself from the demo bats that were funneling through the vents merely seconds ago. Somehow, deep down, you knew that the boy was tired of running and wanted to prove only to himself, cause lets face it he was already your hero, that he wasn’t going to run anymore. You had hoped he would chicken out of this stupid but heroic plan and jump to safety, however, you knew him better than that.

“Edward Munson don’t you dare.” You say sternly, hoping he was not going to do what you knew he was about to.

“C’mon princess, you know I have to.” He responds, already knowing what you were referring to. That was the beauty, or rather the curse in this moment, of your relationship. You always knew what the other was thinking and could always anticipate their next move. You thought the super power came with being best friends nearly all your life, but in reality, it came from being hopelessly in love with him.

You had loved Eddie since you were old enough to know what love was. It was odd though, most people can recall a specific moment they fell in love with a person but not you. For you, the transition from best friend to first love was a gradual one that you tried to deny for many years to avoid falling into the cliche trope of best friends to lovers. You even went as far as going through the five stages of grief over losing your best friend who would eventually become the love of your life. But, you were finally able to accept that he was the man you would always love. For better or worse, and against your better judgment, you loved Eddie “The Freak” Munson. Of course he didn’t quite know this yet, and by god was he treading close to the worse line with the shit he was pulling right now.

“No, Eddie you really don’t. Remember what Steve said? Don’t go being a hero?” You say, pleading with him to change his mind, though once Eddie put his mind to something, there was no stopping him. It was something you admired about him, but right now it was something you really hated. “Please just be a coward like me and Dustin” turning towards the small curly haired boy next to you, “no offense.”

“Ouch” Dustin said, clutching his hand over his heart as if you had wounded him, a token Munson action.

Eddie looked up at you with tears starting to well in his eyes, knowing he needed to do this, to protect not only his two best friends but also the love of his life. Like you, Eddie had been hopelessly in love with you, maybe not for as long as you have, but that didn’t change the fact that he knew you were the one for him. The difference was, he could pin point the exact moment his love for you went from being that for a best friend into one of someone he wanted hold forever and never get go.

The two of you were just sitting in his room in his trailer like any other normal day when you grabbed his guitar off the wall and started to strum the chords to his favorite Iron Maiden song. Normally, he would murder anyone who dared touch his precious girl but with you, he didn’t seem to mind. He always let you strum the guitar but it never went past one small stroke of the strings before you returned her to the nail on the wall, and it was never anything coherent you would play either. But this time, you played that song like it was second nature and you worked that guitar like it was made for you. Thats when Eddie Munson knew he was done for.

He would do anything for you. He even considered being the coward and jumping through the gate to save himself, but with doing that he knew he would be putting the town at risk of these demo bats. A town that hated him and wanted him dead. Eddie knew it wasn’t about protecting the town though, it was about protecting the people he loved who lived in it. His uncle, Dustin, the whole Hellfire crew, and especially you.

“I don’t want to run this time Y/N.” He says as he brings his knife up to the makeshift rope you had made a few days earlier to escape the hell hole the first time. “I’m buying us time.”

“Please don’t cut that rope Eddie.” You begged one last time with tears now fervently streaming down your face.

Looking directly at Dustin, he asks “Take care of her will you my little sheep?” He then cuts the blankets and with the same motion states, “I love you,” before moving out from your field of vision and into the darkness of the upside down.

“NOOOO” you scream. Without hesitation, you grab a chair from the kitchen and stand on top of it, jumping as high as you can. You somehow manage to grab onto the edges of the gate before pulling yourself up and falling through landing on your back as gravity changed its direction. You wince in pain and mumble some profanities before getting up to chase after him.

Before you could do anything though, Dustin follows suit. You wanted to protest, not that it would actually do anything. Like Eddie, Dustin was stubborn and there was no telling that kid what to do. You wanted to protect him too as anybody Eddie took under your wing ended up under yours as well. But right now, all your focus was on Eddie, your best friend who just so happened to confess his love for you before he deiced to risk his life. Even though he said those three little words to both of you, you knew that they were meant only for you. There was no mistaking it. Like I said, you two could read each other like a damn book.

You try to catch Dustin to spare him any injury and he lands on top of you, unfortunately twisting his ankle in the process. You help the boy up, placing an arm around him to steady his gait, before heading out the trailer and into the thick of the fight.

As soon as you open the door, you see a swarm of demo bats circling Eddie as he’s trying to fight them off with his sword and shield. You were a little ashamed to say you were turned on by the site in front of you. Apparently him risking his life to protect the ones his love was a major turn on for you. Go figure.

You yell at Dustin to go to the Creel House and get Steve, Nancy and Robin for help. You really only wanted Nancy though as she seemed to know her shit when it came to cleaning and stitching up wounds, as you’ve seen her do many times with Steve in these past few days. You knew that Eddie certainly was going to have just a few bumps and bruises after today, if either of you made out of here alive that was.

You watch Dustin walk off and then turn your attention back to Eddie, who was now losing his battle as the demo bats who were starting to attack him harder and faster. Eddie started to scream in pain and right then and there your heart sunk into your stomach. He was going to die.

You start to sprint towards the boy, double wielding your spears, and in the heat of the moment you yell, “get away from my boyfriend you bitches!”

Stunned at the sound of your voice and your words, Eddie turns around and sees you rushing to him without any regard for your own health or well being. You reach him after a few seconds and like a true fucking badass, you start swinging at the bats killing multiple in one fell swoop. Eddie was in no way ashamed to admit that the action turned him on. Before he could hide his raging boner though, you jump on top of him, bringing him to the ground, shielding him from any oncoming attacks and making sure you were taking the brunt force of it all.

With your eyes closed, one of the bats sinks their teeth into your exposed flesh and you cry out in pain. You didn’t care however, you were protecting the person you loved more than anything else in both these worlds and if you two somehow made it out of here alive, you were sure as shit going to make that very fact known to him.

Suddenly though, the fangs retracted from your skin and you feel Eddie’s legs thrashing about trying to get the bats off of you. Thats when you open your eyes, looking straight at Eddie as he stares back at you, with him holding you tight with one arm while the other is holding the spiky shield that’s sheltering you from any kind of charge from the bats.

Both of you breath heavily into each other and in that moment it's just the two of you. There’s no impending danger and it’s almost as if you both aren’t about to die. The whole world fades around you and only the two of you exist in this moment. Eddie can’t stop staring at you in pure admiration, despite you both actively dying. To him, this moment is everything and you are the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. It’s taking ever fiber of Eddie’s being not to kiss you right then and there, but he holds himself back, still not sure if you will reciprocate his feelings. Though he is pretty sure that you called him your boyfriend before coming over here, but nonetheless, he opts to just stare at you, with his eyes darting from yours down to your lips.

You return the action, and decide to throw sense out the window since that was what led you into this mess in the first place?? Who cares that you were most certainly going to be eaten alive by a bunch of rabid bats while in the arms of you best friend turned secret love. You didn’t. All there was in this instant was you and him, nobody or anything else and by god were you going to give in to your desires. You begin to lean down towards him before your mind was able to catch up with your heart and tell you how much of a stupid idea this was.

Eddie copies your movement and brings his head up to yours, not thinking about the potentially consequences of this action. Should he be focusing on the bats pounding on your skin? Probably but he didn’t care. He was going to take advantage of this moment since it was more than likely the last chance he would ever get to feel your lips on his.

As your two lips are about to touch in what is most certainly going to be the most epic kiss you’ve both ever experienced, you're brought out of your trance by the sound of the demo bats hitting the ground. You spring your head up to see the bats falling down all around you. Both of you were too stunned to move. You weren’t one to believe in a higher power but my god did you not just witness a miracle.

When the last bat falls to the ground, you look back at your best friend in disbelief who never took his eyes off you. You lean back taking your weight off of him, sitting back on your knees and helping Eddie to sit up.

As he sits up, you shove him back to the ground, “You're a fucking idiot Munson! You could have died!” He winces in pain but you continue to hit him repeatedly in his chest, “don’t do that ever again!”

Getting up and playfully hitting your shoulder back Eddie says, “I could say the same about you Y/L/N! I’m not the one who ran out here screaming at the top of my lungs with no regard for her own life!”

“Yeah well what did you expect me to do when you wouldn’t come through the portal? Did you think I was just going to leave you to die after you had just told me you loved me? And before I could tell you I’m in love with you? Not a chance I wasn’t following you through the literal depths of hell.” You reply.

“First of all, it’s called a gate. Second of all, what did you just say?” He asks, not that he didn’t hear what you said, he just wanted to hear you say it again.

Sighing you proclaim for all to hear, “I’m in love with you Eddie Munson!” And then tenderly with a soft smile on your face so only he could hear, “always have and always will.” Not exactly how you pictured telling him your deepest secret, but you should have known it would come out while the two of you were fighting with one another in true Munson and Y/L/N fashion.

Before you could get another word in, his arms wrap tight around your waist and his lips are pressed to yours in a passionate but gentle kiss. You weren’t sure if it was because of your shared loved for each other or if it was due to the circumstances of the kiss, but damn was it not electrifying and unlike anything you had ever experienced. Sure you had kissed other boys and even some girls before but you never quite had a kiss like this, one that consumed ever fiber of your being and you were determined to make it last as long as possible.

Eddie couldn’t believe what was happening. He had dreamed of this moment for the past 3 years and never did he think it would happen like this, but he wasn’t one to complain. He was just happy to be here, with you in his arms sharing what he would be calling the kiss of the century. Wanting to deepen the kiss, his slides his cold, bloody hands under your shirt and places his tongue along your lips, hoping to fully get a taste of you. You give him permission, opening your mouth slightly to allow his tongue to tango with yours and my god did this turn you on even more. Before letting yourselves fully engulf in this magnificent moment, Eddie pulls away, resting his forehead against yours and mimicking your heavy breathing.

“I’m in love with you too, in case that wasn’t clear” he says in-between his swallow breaths.

“Yeah I figured as much” you laugh, “I mean you weren’t exactly subtle when you said it before you went off to die some sort of noble vikings death.”

“Well neither were you!” He chuckles, “Screaming for the bats to get off your boyfriend which I never agreed to for the record. I was prepared to tell you I loved you and to then pretend like nothing happened like a true gentleman.” He says sarcastically.

“Shut up you freak” you smile before returning your lips to his where they belonged. Before you can deepen it and essentially fuck him right there, you hear a familiar voice coming from behind you.

“It I wasn’t traumatized before this, I certainly am now” Dustin gags.

“FUCKING FINALLY” Robin cheers, knowing that you guys had feelings for each other, not that you hid it very well.

Steve follows closely behind and interjects, “Are you two idiots done or can we get out of here? I’m not trying to stay here any longer than I have to.”

You two help each other up, laughing in disbelief at the whole ordeal. You both had a few deep lacerations but nothing that couldn’t be fixed with a few makeshift stitches from Nurse Nancy. You lean on each other to walk before Dustin comes up in-between you, wrapping an arm around both your waists to help steady your weight.

Stopping and letting you go, Dustin brings in his best friend into a tight hug, “What the hell man! You scared the shit out of me! What happened to not being a hero?” Dustin questions Eddie.

“Aww I’m sorry man but you know I had to do something to protect my pretty girl.” Eddie says while giving you a shit eating grin. You return his statement with a soft smile while staring at the ground.

“First, EW. Second, I thought you were saying I love you to both of us, not just her!” Dustin pouts.

Eddie snickers, “Listen I wasn’t lying when I said I love you, I just love her more.” Shrugging his shoulders and leaning over Dustin to place a delicate kiss to your lips.

Retching Dustin says, “God are you two going to be this gross all the time now?”

“Yes,” you both respond without any hesitation. And with that, Dustin just shakes his head and returns to your side, helping you to walk again.

You two still had a lot to figure out about what the events of today meant for your relationship. You also had to figure out how you would even start this relationship given that Eddie was still a wanted criminal in Hawkins and likely you both had to stay in hiding so the gang could figure out how to clear Eddie’s name. You didn’t care though because after today you knew that you both would do anything for the other and you didn’t care about having to go back to sneaking around town, you were just glad to be anywhere he was.

As you all limp back to the trailer, you and Eddie can’t help but look at each other the whole time in complete awe and adoration of one another. To say you both were smitten was an understatement. He kisses you one last time before looking down at Dustin to recant the heroic tale of “Y/N the Fearless” who helped save the life of “Eddie the Banished” and you knew this was a story he was going to be telling for the rest of his life.

Long-Term by idiopathicsmile Take, for instance, the couple she’s consulting with this afternoon, for their upcoming October ceremony. Seemingly mismatched in every respect. The plump, fair-haired one looks like a parody of an absent-minded professor, as sketched by someone who didn’t bother to do much actual research; his clothes are so outdated it teeters on costume. He’s wearing a bow tie, and not in that reinvented hipster way. This is a bow tie unacquainted with the cycles of fashion, a bow tie that has never heard the word irony. His partner is a rangy, black-clad ginger in snakeskin boots. He has the look of a hungover rocker about him, and would somehow, even without the sunglasses he has fully committed to wearing indoors on a cloudy afternoon. He’s sprawled almost defiantly in his chair and keeps throwing dubious glances around Dr. Blackwell’s office, as though expecting a lightning bolt to strike him down for merely daring to be within spitting distance of a church.

In this world, it is the moment Adora remembers the exact opposite. Adora/Catra, 11k, T
