I LOVE YOU BUT I'M LOST. by fisheyed ( @hargroveb )
E | 26k words
He takes a deep drag and blows the cloud in Steve's face, making him cough as he just laughs, shaking ashes to the asphalt and chuckling to himself and stepping forward —
And Steve wakes up to the sun creeping over the horizon.
Billy's in a coma after Starcourt, Steve's trying to pick up the pieces of his life, and somehow they both end up in a Camaro headed for California.

After he and Billy move to California, Steve starts to put on some weight. Apart from the usual cattiness, Billy doesn’t seem to mind.

He’ll take an inch and make it everything if Billy will just give it to him.
(or what happiness could look like for steve and billy, topped with a cherry.)

nothing is finite (in the evening light) by Philosoferre ( @babyhargrove )

"It'd be convenient," Billy adds. He's looking at Steve expectantly, but he's still a little guarded. "And, uh. Road trips, you know. They're supposed to be fun and shit. Don’t make this a bigger deal than it is, Harrington.”
Steve finds himself smiling; he doesn't bother trying to hide it. Billy narrows his eyes curiously. "Sure," Steve says.
Or, Steve and Billy go on a road trip to Hawkins for Christmas break. Both of them might be very much in love.

You Make Me Not Want To Die by shippingmyarmada
E | 70k words (total)
After a long pause, long enough for Steve to think he’s not getting an answer (not that he knows if he wants one anyway) Billy responds, “All the fucking time, pretty boy.” Because sometimes getting hypothermia sounds more appealing than going home.
They each smoke another cigarette in silence. Harrington’s face glows softly in the cherry light, his eyebrows furrowed as he stares into the inky water.
Aka some sort of character study of Billy Hargrove.

Billy curled his lip. “Where you headed?”
“California,” Harrington said, like a challenge. “By way of O’Hare. Where you headed?”
“California,” Billy said, just as much a challenge. “By way of the open road.” And, on a whim, he added, “You want a ride or not?”

you, through half-shut eyes by brawlite ( @brawlite )

Two parts sugary sweet summer vibes, one part snarky instagram stories, and three parts mutual pining.

go west, young man by gothyringwald ( @gothyringwald )
E | 35k words
Steve and Billy move to California after graduation. They decide to take their time getting there, driving across the country in Billy's Camaro. Along the way, they learn a thing or two about growing up, friendship, love, and each other.

Billy’s grin will be the cocky one, the exact same one that makes Steve want to wipe it off with his fist. ‘Fuck off and worry about yourself, Harrington.’
Then, Billy will drive off with a squeal of tires because he’s obnoxious like that, and Steve will stare as the Camaro disappears down the road, and he will be relieved.
Finally, Billy Hargrove is out of his life for good.
No.
