Hopper is walking back to his truck after responding to a call about vagrants loitering at the park (a literal fucking raccoon) when he hears, “Mr Hopper, wait up!”

He does not roll his eyes but considers it when he slows down. Steve stops in front of him. He points at his untied shoe and asks through out of breath wheezing, “Can you help me?”

“You don’t know how to tie your shoe yet?”

“I know how,” Steve tells him, shaking the laces at him.“I’m five. ‘Course I know how but it’s really hard sometimes.”

He hums in response, kneeling down. He ties the clean white laces on Steve’s well-maintained sneaker before asking, “Does your other s- Oof.”

Hopper nearly topples over when he’s hit with the full weight of a child rushing at him. He barely registers that the arms squeezing around him are Steve’s and that this is a hug before the kid pulling back.

“I wish you were my dad,” Steve tells him in a rush and then runs off. He calls behind him, “I’m gonna climb that tree now.”

“Don’t - don’t climb that tree!”

Steve doesn’t have a good grasp on much after Billy nearly beat him through the goddamn floor, but he knows he doesn’t want to go to the hospital and he knows he needs something for the impending migraine that’s going to hit him.

He slips out of the house as soon as he knows everyone is safe.

He’s out of his migraine medication. He was supposed to pick up a new bottle when Dustin…

“Holy shit!” Eddie swears when he opens the door to Steve’s minced meat face. “Did you get hit by a car, and then reversed over? Jesus H.”

“I have this,” Steve says in response.

He holds his hand out for him and Eddie takes what’s in it. He holds it up and then says plainly, “I don’t take insurance, Harrington.”

“Kay.”

Steve nods but it’s pretty damn clear none of what Eddie said registered. He’s about to repeat himself when Steve asks, “Can I sit down?”

“Shit, yeah. Come in,” Eddie says, moving to the side and then extending an arm to his humble abode. He winced as Steve hobbles over to the couch and offers, “Water? Ibuprofen? An ambulance?”

Steve kinda just lowers himself down to the couch, dropping sideways with a groan when he was low enough.

Eddie snaps his fingers, “Don’t die on my couch.”

“Won’t.”

“It’ll ruin my night, Harrington.”

Steve laughs, soft and shallow like it’ll hurt less if he does it that way. Eddie sighs.

If he can laugh. He probably won’t die.

Good.

It was difficult and long, but it was worth it.

The Calling

“The Rain came falling down, I watched that Woman drown”

Someone said I should do one from The Calling and it’s been playing a lot in my mind so here we are. Finally doing one that doesn’t have my likeness in any capacity. Not sure I adore this one but the next one surely I will.

That Unwanted Animal

“I’m the paper cut that kills you…”

Really just enjoying sketching that that more precise and expressive look that hands seem to have and trying to get them to look simplified enough while still retaining their humanity. I’ve been absolutely screaming this song on my way home from swordfighting at the moment, it’s well and truely in my skull and I adore it.

Sometimes I wish some unknown distant relatives would leave me all their money so I could buy a house and just not have to stress about rent and moving every year or two and potentially uprooting my family because I didn't buy a house when I was fucking 20 and they were affordable. I don't even want huge amounts just enough for a reasonable deposit. How can you save for a house when rent is so expensive?

I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD

Now let’s reverse their roles, shall we? Nurse!Eddie AU where Steve is a frequent patient in the ER Eddie works because he keeps getting himself hurt all the freaking time. Eddie can't help but worry about the guy.

First, Steve ends up there after he falls from a tree and breaks his wrist. When Eddie asks what happened, Steve shrugs.

“There was this cat stuck in the tree.”

Then, it’s the accident with the car door. Two broken fingers.

“Robin didn’t see my hand was still there when she closed the door.”

The third time, it’s a concussion because, somehow, Steve thought skateboarding after drinking half-a-bottle of whisky was a good idea.

“Robin dared me, Eddie. She said I couldn’t!”

“And now you’re here! She was clearly right!”

Then there was the time Steve bruised his ribs and hip when he pushed a little kid out of harm’s way and got run by a bike in their place.

And the time Steve twisted his ankle when he was out on a hike with Robin, Nancy, Jonathan and Argyle but didn’t tell them he was hurt because he didn’t wanna spoil their weekend. He walked more than five miles with a fucked-up ankle, the idiot.

And how would Eddie forget the time Steve came to the ER with his pretty face half-disfigured by bruises and so badly swollen his left eye was nothing more than a slit. His ribs were also cracked and the skin over his knuckles was torn everywhere. Steve had clearly been fighting.

“The fucking asshole was gonna hit Max, man. Not when I’m around.”

Eddie would’ve been endeared by the sweet admission if he hadn’t been concerned about the man’s labored breathing at the time.

All this to say that Steve’s presence in the ER is not something new. He’s always there; sometimes for stupid reasons like trying to save a cat stuck in a tree or after one of Robin’s dares goes wrong, sometimes because he’s such a selfless sweetheart that he often gets hurt while trying to help people out.

So when Eddie comes back from his break and sees Steve there in the waiting room, he’s not surprised at all. Steve still has the bandage on his right arm, from his last visit a couple of days before.

He is surprised when Steve opens his mouth and blurts a “Do you want to go out with me one of these days? ” before Eddie has the chance to ask what he’s doing there.

“Oh my God, are you getting hurt on purpose so you can see me?”

“What!?”

“Because if this is the case, stop doing that!”

“I’m not hurting myself on purpose! I’m just an idiot, I swear!”

But Eddie is not an idiot, so of course he says yes to going out with Steve.

Two weeks later, they are dating… and Eddie is bandaging the dislocated shoulder his boyfriend got from falling off the roof while cleaning the gutters.

Why are dogs so expensive? Looking at buying a dog and holy shit since when is a dog $3000 plus?

Thinking about Spider-Man always being broke, and I got slapped with inspiration and wrote a stupid thing.

Disclaimers: I'm not an American, Im not sure what a bodega is exactly, I don't know how Venmo works, and writing chips instead of crisps nearly gave me an aneurysm.

TikTok vídeo of a man talking to a camera:

So I was just down at [random bodega] and there was this kid in there with a Spider-man costume on under his hoodie and the mask rolled halfway up his face, just cramming this backpack with instant ramen, and I figure he's just some college nerd super-yknow?

Anyways, im looking at the chips and this dude comes busting in waving a gun and shouting gimme the money!

So it turns out this kid is the real deal! Took the guy down in seconds, shot the gun outa dudes hand with one web then decks him with another and leaves him hanging from the ceiling by an ankle! An he just goes on up to the register to pay like it's no Biggie while we're all just standing there in shock!

Anyways, he rings up all this fuckin ramen and goes to pay and his card gets fucking declined. Spider-Man is a broke-ass college kid living on instant ramen!

He starts apologising and goes to put it back so I say to him "what's your Venmo? I'll give you the money."

And he says "aww, no man. You don't have to do that."

So I tell him "dude! You saved my life last week! I owe you! What's your fucking Venmo?" And he gives it to me.

So anyway, here's Spider-man's Venmo, everybody show that kid some love so he can buy a fucking vegetable.

Steddie where Steve and Eddie are childhood friends because Wayne used to work for the Harringtons and the two boys end up growing up together.

It’s all good and well whilst they are kids. Steve’s parents don’t mind their friendship because they are sure the boys will eventually grow apart as time passes and their different upbringings become more obvious.

The problem is that their friendship just gets stronger with time and, by the time they’re in High School they’re inseparable and Steve’s crush on Eddie is so embarrassingly obvious anyone with eyes can see it.

The Harringtons are not happy when they realize their son is getting way too close to the Munson kid, and things get ugly when Richard Harrington is made aware that most of Hawkins believe Wayne’s nephew is queer.

They send Steve away. Send him to a boarding school in New Jersey, where Richard’s mother lives, and don’t even give him a chance to say goodbye to anyone.

Their efforts are useless, though.

Steve finds a way to keep in touch with Eddie by sneaking out of school to send him letters. The school eventually finds out Steve is sneaking out and contacts his grandmother, his closest family, to let her know what’s happening.

When she asks Steve about it, he tells her everything. He tells her his parents sent him away because they found out he had feelings for another boy and people around town were saying shit behind his back, that his father didn’t let him say goodbye to any of his friends and that he’s lying to everybody that Steve got a scholarship in some fancy school.

“Dear Lord, I knew Richard was a dumbass, but I had no idea how much.”

And that’s how Steve ends up getting his grandmother’s help and they come up with a whole plan so he can keep sending his letters to Eddie without his father knowing.

By the time Steve graduates, he and Eddie are happily dating. They elope as soon as both of them are free from High School, and only Wayne and Steve’s grandmother get the courtesy of knowing their whereabouts.
