Every time Yugi and Atem interact, someone is at risk of losing a limb or two. When they cross paths at the same house-party, things go exactly as well as you’d expect.

Admin's notes: Monster University party, with Yugi as a siren and Atem a succubus, and a whole lot of sassy banter. The fun premise aside, it's also gorgeous imagery in a universe full of all sorts of creatures. Tell me, Yugi, what do you use to polish your scales??

“You know then?” Steve asks him, staring him down.

Billy’s eyes shift between his face, his shirtlessness, and then back to his eyes.

“Yeah. You gonna let me in or what?”

Will Byers didn't die. El closed the gate and Steve kept the kids alive. Then Steve wakes up the next day to do it all over again...and again, and again. Until one morning, Billy shows up at his door saying he's been living the same day over too.

@shinayashipper says: one of the angels/demons AU I really LOVE for Puzzle and I think it's also the first one I read with Angel!Atem & Demon!Yugi (usually it's the other way around). While this AU is inspired by one of my oldest drawings, Saij has made a whole Absolute Gorgeous world-building into it that I'm always fascinated about!! I still read it from time to time, their dynamic is so Fun and Yugi is such adorable playful little demon, I loveee them so mach!! There's also a Fight Scene, which isn't too heavy, and the build-up is Really Nice!! pls consider reading this!!

Sacrificing a prince to the Northern witch is not the best way to warm up the land. Or, the one where Yugi is a very creepy captor.

Admin's notes: #ficsthatfuckedmeup yugi is so goddamn creepy and atem succumbing to a hardcore case of stockholm syndrome had me s c r e a m i n g in the best/worst/most repulsed way possible (and then screaming for more). i'm obsessed with everything about this. sometimes i'm just lying in bed and it comes to mind. creepy cabin in the woods, okay. I can't resist.

After all, the most important thing in a blizzard is to keep warm.

“Hargrove?”

The voice yanks Billy back into the present and he stands up fast enough to make himself dizzy. He blinks twice, shifts his boots in the snow, and looks over to where the voice had floated from. Standing in his Members Only jacket with that fucking bat over his shoulder, Steve looks at him like he’s seen a ghost. Billy clenches his fists and notices how Steve’s eyes trail to the blood on his mouth, the blossoming color on his cheek.

“You’re bleeding,” Steve points out, like Billy doesn’t know that.

“Really fucking observant, Harrington,” Billy curls his lip up and flicks his tongue out, over the split, and Steve’s eyes follow it like they always do. It’s a visceral thrill up his spine but anger eats it up. Steve is off limits and, as much as Billy wants to lick into his mouth and feel those lean muscles against his own, he isn’t stupid.

"There's blood on your face," Steve said numbly. He touched his own mouth. His fingers came back dark and slick with blood.

Billy threw back his head and laughed. Red stained his teeth. "You gonna still kiss me, darling?"

Or: The one where Steve and Billy find something in each other they couldn't find in anyone else.

‘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.

‘It doesn't feel the way it's supposed to,’ Steve is saying, back turned towards Billy, bruised blue and yellow, and Billy can feel the phantom give of it under his fingertips. ‘You know what I mean.’

Billy wants to scream I don't, wants to scream I've never felt like this before, wants to scream call it what it is, you coward.

something other than what it is by fuelonthefire ( @fuelonthefire )

Billy tries to ensure that sex with Steve stays pleasantly dirty and straightforward. Predictably, Steve tramples all over Billy’s boundaries and leaves him dealing with unfamiliar feelings that are way outside of his comfort zone.

He’d been chewing the filter of an unlit cigarette, teeth bared in one of those shit-eating grins that had Steve’s fist itching, when he said, all matter-of-fact:

“You’re gonna work for it, tonight.”

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.

Determined to overcome a summer of boredom and too much ice cream, Steve joins the Hawkins running group. Unfortunately, it turns out the secondary purpose of said group is for the ladies of Hawkins to gush about the effect Billy Hargrove is having on their rosebushes. But maybe if Steve wasn’t so busy being offended by Hargrove’s mere existence, he’d realise he’s completely missing the point.
