Scream Au idea that's been rotting my brain (heavy scream 1 spoilers btw)
So as the season calls for it, halloween is super near. And because no one asked, I raise you with the wildest of ideas that have been brewing in my brain. 1.) because I don't know who else to talk about this INSANE idea with and 2.) I really really am feeling so much brainrot I want to write this into an actual fic.
As someone who has super super little experience with horror movies due to being a wuss that's easily scared, I absolutely am SO enamored with Scream 1 right now it's absolutely insane on my part. (But ADHD brain just is ARGHHH, yk? hyperfixation go brr.)
"What does this have to do with TOH?" you all are asking. I raise you with my dastardly plan of a TOH Scream AU because no one asked but I have been thinking THINKING about a possible scenario where I could make Luz Ghostface. You might be thinking too... "Why Cramity? Why do you want to instill trauma onto characters..." because Ghostface is cool, and I refuse to believe that Billy and Stu are so Hunter and Luz coded.
Think about it, okay? Billy could totally pass as Luz, and Stu is just under peer pressure to act as the killer. "But the homo erotic subtext! What about the rumors of Billy and Stu being gay for one another? Wouldn't that be... lun-" No!! No!! No Lunter in this au because I may strongly see that in Scream, but for the sake of my sanity... Nope.
Obviously, I do not think that Luz has the capabilities to do what Billy did to Sidney's mom. I don't think she'd just become Ghostface like that. Rightfully because if you are crossing that up with TOH Luz technically doesn't have the parental dynamic that Billy did so there's no way to really have that trauma spark. I think in a scenario where Eda DIES however that would happen. Especially if it's at the hands of the Blights. House fire, I'm thinking. An unexpected, plotted house fire to cover the tracks.
Now we have our "Sidney" Amity. Obviously. The final girl is so coded to be her in my mind.
Why would Hunter be involved? Because of Stu's reason. Peer pressure. I envision that Alador had an affair on Odalia with Darius and Belos ended up executing him. Though I do believe Hunter doesn't formally know the entirety of it (potential brainwashing to believe Belos did no wrong).
Starting scene however we open with Luz absolutely slaughtering Belos. (It's karma if you think about it with the knife teehee). But in exchange for his life, Hunter has to follow her and help her. Aka being Luz's "Stu".
So, they have a common enemy right? The Blights? Darius, Eda, and King died because of them. So obviously Luz wants to take it out on Amity because (Line from my notes) "I want to make you understand what it's like to lose the things you care about the most."
One by one it'd follow the similar pattern to plot. Though with TOH you'd possibly have to use crystal balls because there's no phones? I do think the phone thing is such a cooler more mysterious and chilling element so I might just say fuck it and leave that. BUT LUZ COULD USE INVISABILITY GLYPHS HAHA!! Deadly.
Luz would kill Amity's family until it's literally like Amity's the final girl when Luz realized that Amity reaaaaally never cared about her parents. She cared about her.
"But why would that be a thing?"
Well since I plotted earlier that the reason Eda died was due to a housefire, Amity presumes Luz to be dead. So it'd be kind of a shocker to her if she realizes that the person that's trying to kill her is really her estranged lover, right? I don't know. I'm really TRULY into the idea that Luz is just stalking around the manor and Amity may or may not be seeing things.
With that logic as well Luz and Hunter would have to formally die at the end, right? Yeah. But I think in my mind I'd have Hunter turn on Luz due to it being peer pressured at the start and wanting to be good and Luz just shooting him out of anger. "BUT HUN-" It's plot okay?
I don't know the entire details but I'm thinking so hard about how this could work.
also, the fact that mathew lillard is in the fnaf movie and did that literal knife swipe. bro. im not even into fnaf but that shit had me SCREAMING (pun intended). they literally did that shit on purpose as a call back to scream. YOU CAN'T TELL ME OTHERWISE. THAT'S THE LITERAL GHOSTFACE KNIFE WIPE.
yeah idk what else this is. sorry I'm rambling.

OOOH I love those AUs! Also, yessss to almost all of shows you listed. I really liked TOH but I've never really watched any other iterations of tmnt other then Rise.
Hmmm foods... I really like cherries. Also BBQ chicken!
And I do! I draw and write. :DD
What's the back story behind your profile picture? It looks very strange and fun. Do you have any AU ideas/ head cannons you'd be willing to share with me?
-🌻
I am also a big fan of cherries and BBQ chicken!
For my profile picture, it was just a silly little meme I found on pinterest like 3 years ago and decide I would use it cause it was funny!
As for headcanons, for some reason I always hit all my favorite characters with the transgender beam. Like, Jim Hawkins from treasure planet? Bam, transgender. Jim Lake from toa? Bam, transgender. Leo from every single tmnt iteration? Bam, transgender. Zuko? You guessed it, he transed his gender. The list goes on. (Also I forgot to mention Danny Phantom, Gravity Falls, and HTTYD on the last post)
Other headcanons include:
1. All of the Rise turtles besides Mikey love taking baths/swimming cause they're all aquatic. When Mikey was little he'd throw the biggest tantrums ever during bath time while all the others were practically falling over eachother to get in the tub.
2. There had to have been times when the boys snuck out and to the surface when they were little. (Probably how they met April). There was probably a time when they got cornered by a dog or something when they were still little and it was up to Raph to protect them. This gave him a crippling fear of dogs for years until he met a really sweet pit bull. Cause just like him, people look at those kinds of dogs and immediately think "big and scary and will hurt me" but in reality they're absolute sweethearts. Now he's pretty much over his fear.
3. Billy Bones and Captain Nathaniel Flint were totally gay and in love. I will elaborate if you ask but I'll just leave it at that for now.
4. When Hakoda finally properly meets Zuko, Aang, and Toph he just automatically adopts them. They all practically have "adopt me" written in bold letters on their foreheads. He is now the proud father of 5 kids, a lemur, a sky bison, and whoever/whatever else his kids decide to bring home.
5. Now I'm just gonna talk about Tales of Arcadia ROTT for a bit. If you have not seen the show or movie, then I'm incredibly sorry about this long ass rant I'm about to go on. Feel free to skip the next 10 paragraphs.
MAJOR SPOILER WARNING FOR TOA ROTT BELOW THE CUT
In the end of TOA ROTT, Jim was not thinking clearly at all. He had just watched his best friend, one of his father figures, and so many of his other friends die. His entire world was crashing down on him, and he just wanted things to go back to normal. When he used the Chronosphere, he wasn't actually fully in control of how far back it took him. He was just desperate to go back to a time where his friends and family were safe. The sphere picked up on that, and took him way back to the very beginning before anything bad ever happened to him and his friends.
When Toby showed up, alive and 2 years younger than the one he just watched die, all he could think was that he needs to keep him safe this time. In the first timeline, he had the amulet, Claire had magic, and all of his other friends (aside from Steve and Eli) were magical creatures or warriors. Toby was just a human with a hammer. In his messed up state of mind, the only way he could think to keep Toby safe was for him to have the amulet instead. The amulet had saved Jim's life a bunch of times, so it would protect Toby if he was the trollhunter.
I think after things had calmed down, and Jim had a chance to properly think about what he had done, he would regret this decision immensely. Because being the trollhunter puts a major target on one's back. Yes, the amulet protects Toby, but it also curses him with the burden of being some great warrior and protecting an entire species. This would just crush Jim with guilt, because he knows the struggles a trollhunter goes through and he just doomed his friend to them.
Also, the past 2 years of Jim's life was essentially erased. He's 2 years younger, has none of the scars that he's gained over the past 2 years, and is basically in a body that is no longer his own. People who were his friends, his family, the day before, are now back to being enemies or have simply no idea who he is yet. Hell, he was a troll for a year, and suddenly he's back to being a scrawny 15 year old with no proof of what he's been through other than the mental scars. He's barely the same person. He has so many issues. You know he has ptsd, anxiety, and probably body issues because again, he was a troll, and now he's back to being a 15 year old human boy. (Also I headcanon him as trans so him suddenly detransitioning by 2 years would definitely fuck him up a bit.)
His mannerisms have changed, he has different habits than before, and now he has a huge variety of triggers that no one else knows about anymore. For everyone around him, it must seem like he was suddenly replaced with someone else. This causes a lot of tension and issues with people like his mom and Toby.
And Claire. For him, just yesterday they were in love, they had spent the last 2 years of their lives fighting side by side, growing as individuals together. He was probably planning on proposing to her. And now she doesn't even know who he is. Not to mention he is mentally 18 now, and she is back to being only 15/16. I feel like even though he promised her before he went back in time that he would never give up on winning her back, he would be hesitant to do so now. He would probably wait until she's older to try and pursue their relationship again, which would likely tear him apart.
And don't even get me started on everyone else. Blinky was literally his dad. And now he doesn't even know who he is. I imagine that being around Blinky again would be difficult for him. Just yesterday, Jim could call this man "dad". Now, Blinky is back to having 0 parental instincts for this kid and is probably weirded out by Jim's behavior at first. With Toby being the Trollhunter, Blinky would be more focused on him. Jim would essentially be kinda cast aside at first. I imagine he would feel like he's being abandoned again just like with James Lake Sr. Same thing with Strickler. The guy was his step dad, and now he's suddenly back to being an evil changeling who wants to kill them.
And all the little things, that to him are perfectly normal, are no longer known by anyone else. All their inside jokes have lost their meanings. And he knows personal things about people who don't even remember his name now. I imagine that there would be times where they're all hanging out, having a good time, sharing memories. He'd bring up something that to him, is a treasured memory shared by all his friends and family. Only for no one else to understand what he's talking about. He'd have to play it off, say it must have been a dream or he was just remembering things wrong, and it would kill him inside.
And everyone who hangs around him would know that something is off. Something is wrong with him. They would all pick up on the fact that something happened to him, but he never says what. For Toby and Barbara, this would be especially distressing. To them, Jim just suddenly woke up one day a completely different person and they have no idea why. And it's not like he can just admit that he's from a doomed future and has experienced unspeakable horrors.
Okay I have so much more to say on this topic but it is getting long as hell. I honestly should make this a separate post but I'm too lazy for that :/ Also so sorry again if you haven't watched TOA and have no clue what I'm talking about right now...
Anyways! More questions for you! Do you have any au/headcanons you want to share? (Literally any fandom you want to talk about). What are your top favorite colors? And what do you like to write/draw?

OKAY ONE LAST QUESTION
How long did they mentor? What was the mental impact of having to send children to their death as young as 12 or send them to forever be a puppet of the capital if they win? Especially the impact of having their tributes fight each other? What was the awful impact Billy experienced through being forcefully prostituted by Snow?
IM SORRY IF NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE IM SO EXCITED
I waited until I was on my laptop to answer this properly because I am so close to writing a one shot for this AU lol
Not as long as others. Billy volunteered to become a mentor so that he could still be seen as useful and not used for prostitution but unfortunately it only made him more desirable as everyone was reminded how attractive and charming he was leading to his demand being much higher than before. He signed on when he was 22 and Steve was "asked" to do it when he was 21 since he was so popular he got pushed to the front. I'm gonna say they met the year Billy came on board and obviously knew of one another but had not met properly until Billy was 22 and Steve 23. Both of them the youngest mentors but being Capitol favourites there they were, sending kids they had gone to school with into the arena to die. The Quarter Quell takes place when they're 32 and 33. (I had to do maths for this and work out which years they won lol. 61st and 59th btw)
Billy held off signing up until Max's final year in the reaping poll because the thought of having to send her off was too much to bare. Neither one of them had a winning tribute except for Billy with Johanna (which is only because the years work like that lol but its kind of funny to have her be mentored by Billy and win since she had a similar skill set and killed the remaining tributes herself) After so long they sort of got used to it, learned to disconnect from them to a certain extent but didn't let their relationship distract them from giving them a fighting chance. Guilt always there though that they always looked forward to the games to see each other but knew what the cost for that was.
They never talked tactics or game stuff when together as to not show bias or doom their own tributes without betraying each other even accidentally and that worked for almost 10 years.
Billy had a much harder time with it than Steve as he got little enjoyment out of it as he is gay and was sleeping with mostly women. Steve being bisexual at least enjoyed the sex to a certain extent to begin with but soon found it horrific and even worse when he fell for Billy. Both of them talked about it when they saw each other as mutual comfort and shared ways to make it easier such as Billy's method of dissociating or imagining Steve but he always felt cold and numb afterwards as all he wanted was for him to hold him like he did when they were together.
Feel free to ask more because I want to write this so bad now omg

warnings | nsfw, lil bit of humiliation, mentions of murder/punishments, dom/sub talk, billy being possessive and controlling, daddy kink, steve being a gay panicked confused mess, general prison talk, stuff like that !!
 " My old man would be so fucking ashamed of me.”
Billy opened his eyes when he heard a voice in the dark. He wasn’t sure if Eddie knew he was still awake or not, but it hadn’t been that long since they’d finished playing. If he really wanted to go unheard, Billy thought, he would have waited to hear soft snoring before speaking out loud.
“He’d hate me. I bet he knows I’m in here, too.”
There was sniffling, and Billy knew Eddie was crying as he got the words out. He knew he should have pretended to be asleep, listened silently, but there was something tugging him to the bottom bunk.
He kicked off the covers and jumped down, straining his eyes to see Eddie through the darkness. His back was to Billy and the opening of the bunk, his body curled into the wall.
“I thought you were asleep,” Eddie’s voice was a quiver.
“No you didn’t. You knew I was awake. You want to talk, then talk,” Billy’s voice could have been hard and snappy like it usually was, but it wasn’t. It was soft, gentle, and not in the fake mocking way, either. It was an invitation for his pet to keep going, to explain why he was upset and to talk about his father and what was bothering him so badly.
The next thing he knew, Hargrove was crawling into Eddie’s bunk. He’d just been in the same position a few hours prior, but that time he’d pressed Eddie into the mattress and pounded into his ass again without an ounce of comfort to be given.
Eddie never cried. He didn’t even cry the first time Billy fucked him, or hit him, or passed him over to one of his buddies in exchange for a package of cigarettes — but he was crying now.
And it was throwing Billy off.
Once he was under the covers, he pulled Eddie’s body against his own. He’d never cuddled anyone before, but it felt right, and clearly his boy was desperate for it from the way his body immediately morphed into Billy’s like they were meant to be together. “A reward for being so good lately,” Billy murmured to him, regaining his footing as the one in control, starting to play with Eddie’s mane of hair. He twisted it around his fingers, waiting for him to speak again. It didn’t come, though, so he spoke again. “Who gives a shit what your father thinks, sweetheart. Fuck him.”
“You don’t get it,” Eddie murmured, his skin hot against Billy’s skin. He couldn’t believe they were skin to skin, wrapped around each other and legs tangled, without Billy’s dick buried in his arse.
He didn’t think Billy had a soft side. Not one like this.
“He’s in prison. Up in Michigan. He was arrested when I was six and he’s got life. I know he knows I’m in here and I’m not like him, Hargrove. He’s…” He had to pause to try to find the words. “He’s like you. In charge and shit. He’d want to die knowing his blood is such a little bitch.”
Billy wondered, as he explained, why fathers had to be such assholes. They were life ruiners, every last one of them. “You can call me Billy.” The words came out before he even knew what he was saying, and his hand shifted to massage Eddie’s scalp. “When we’re alone. You don’t have to call me Hargrove. Just Billy or Daddy. But I catch you saying it to anyone else or in public and I’ll knock all your teeth out.”
“Billy,” Eddie repeated, ignoring the threat and testing the word out. He could barely believe what he was hearing. “Billy. Billy Hargrove.”
“Don’t wear it out,” Hargrove teased, and it was the first time his voice sounded playful since Eddie had arrived.
In another life, Eddie wondered if they would have been boyfriends. He wondered if they’d live by the ocean, like the one in the pictures plastered on Billy’s bunk’s wall, and if they’d go on dates to the drive in and dance around in the kitchen of their little cottage. He wondered if he would have taught Billy to play D&D, and if Billy would have taught him how to surf in return.
“You remember when your dad got arrested?”
Billy’s voice broke through his thoughts, snapped him back to reality. They were in a pitch-black cell, barely fitting onto his bunk. They weren’t in a big, comfy bed, listening to Megadeth and the sounds of the waves crashing outside.
They weren’t boyfriends, either. He was just Billy’s current bitch.
“Yeah. Was right before my birthday. I was eating cereal by the TV and he was bagging coke on the table with one of my buddies and then they burst in. I spilt my cereal all over the carpet and started crying because I thought I’d get in trouble. They dragged him out kicking and screaming. He was so pissed. But he wasn’t scared. He was in prison before I was born, everyone already knew of him. Knew what to expect.”
Billy listened silently. He knew the fear of spilling anything too well. Neil would have smacked the shit out of him whenever he spilt even just water. “And your mom? Where was she?”
“Dead. Never met her. She died giving birth to me. Don’t really know anything about her. Not even what she looks like,” he told him. “I like to think she was excited to be a mother, but the reality is I was probably a mistake. She was probably a prostitute or one of my dad’s buyers. I wouldn’t be surprised if I was conceived in exchange for a hit.”
Billy was silent again. It was a sad story, almost as sad as his own. He wished his Mom had died when he was too young to remember because he could have created a version of her that was perfect. Instead, his mom chose to leave. She had seven years with him, and then left him behind like he was nothing. He hated her, but he loved her and he fucking missed her so bad it hurt every second of every day.
His life would have been completely different if she just hadn’t left.
“Earth to Billy,” Eddie whispered, reaching up to touch his face. His touch was hesitant, like he was waiting for Billy to snap at him not to touch, but it didn’t come. “What about your parents?”
“Don’t have any.”
His voice was sharper, harder, and Eddie immediately made a mental note never to ask about his parents again. He had to have them, but it was obvious he just didn’t want to talk about it.
“I get it. You don’t have to talk about them. Fuck them,” Eddie whispered. He could feel Billy’s smile grow under his fingertips.
“Fuck them.”
***
When Steve came, he came hard. And fast. Too fast.
His cheeks burned with embarrassment; Billy had barely gotten a hand wrapped around his cock before he was releasing. The feeling of a big hand that wasn’t his own wrapped around him alongside the horrifying words being murmured into his ear had been too much for him to handle.
He’d never felt like a worse human being in his entire life. He felt fucked up, like there was something so wrong with his body for reacting to a frightening man’s touch. The tears streamed down his cheeks the second he came down from the high of it all and he tried to hide beneath his wet, freshly washed hair. Billy’s amusement radiated from him, and it made Steve want to shrivel up and die.
“Jesus, you’re pathetic. Didn’t even last two minutes, sweetheart. Your old girlfriends really didn’t treat you good, did they? They even let you stick your dick in them every day?” Billy was grinning from ear to ear and only let go of Steve’s softening cock to bring his hand to his mouth. It was only once Harrington met his gaze that he went right ahead to lick the beads of cum off his hand. He made a show of it, making sure Steve knew just how he could use his tongue. “How sweet you are, Stevie. You’re gonna be a real good seller, I know it.”
***
“They’ve put you in laundry with us. I’ve made sure of it. But there’s a few things you need to know, sweetheart.”
The boys— Billy, Steve, Eddie, Argyle and Jonathan— had met back up in the cafeteria for breakfast. Steve was focused on his coffee, the mug burning the palms of his hands. He was pleasantly surprised that inmates were even allowed to have coffee.
“You hear me, Bambi? Eyes up here,” Billy spoke again, and Steve forced his eyes up. He was dazed, distant, hair still damp. Eddie had tried to talk to him on their walk from the shower block to the cafeteria, but he hadn’t heard a word. His brain was still processing what he had just done. “You’ve already learned that I’m in charge around here, and we must run things quite strictly. That means anyone who breaks my rules gets punished, not just my pets.”
“What rules? The same as mine?” The words came out before he could stop himself.
Billy grinned. He couldn’t help it. It just sounded so sweet, hearing him accept his rules. “Good boy for acknowledging your rules,” he reached out and squeezed Steve’s thigh under the table. “You get a special set of rules because you’re a special boy, but these are more general rules. Rules every prisoner must follow.”
“Like no trying to take over,” Argyle spoke with a mouth full of cereal.
“Right. No trying to take over my position. If I even hear a rumour that anyone’s thinking of taking over my position, they’re taken care of quite quickly. If I hear of anyone snitching, they’re out. Done. You understand, Stevie?” His voice was quiet, a whisper, but he was staring deep into Steve’s eyes. He wouldn’t have said it if the officers at the doors weren’t some of his, but he didn’t need Steve announcing everything out loud.
“You kill them?”
Billy would have laughed at how innocent, dumbfounded and straight up clueless Steve looked if the words hadn’t come out so loud. His hand was back on his thigh, squeezing hard enough that his little pet started to squirm and try to push him away. “You never say that. Ever. You understand me? The next time those words come out of your mouth, it’s your funeral.”
“Let him go. He’s learning, he’s going to mess up,” Eddie reached over to try to pull Billy’s hand away. Hargrove was strong, Eddie knew it all too well; Steve would be left with a pretty hand shaped bruise soon.
“Oh yeah? You wanna tell him what happens when he messes up?” Billy let go of Steve to shove Eddie’s hand back at him. “Don’t tell me a cat finally got your tongue now, Eds? You’re always so eager to talk to your new best buddy.” He snorted and turned his attention back to Steve. “You’re real lucky to be my pet now, Stevie, because you get a few more chances than the others. You mess up, and I beat your ass. Literally. I won’t stop until you can’t sit down without crying,” his voice had shifted into a hiss. “But you know what happens to the people that aren’t my pets, baby? The people I’m not so kind to? They get punished in the laundry room. I’ve got someone coming in tomorrow, you’ll get to have a little taste of what happens then.”
Steve could feel the panic rising in his chest. Billy was going to kill someone in front of him and he wouldn’t be allowed to do anything, to stop it or yell for help.
Because if he did, he’d be next. He’d be the one being murdered by the man that had just gave him the best orgasm of his life.
“Relax, baby,” Billy grinned the same mean grin he had earlier on. “I know what you’re thinking. It’s just a punishment, not a murder. Can’t believe you already think I’m that much of a monster when I haven’t even done anything to you yet. I’m hurt.”
He started to get up then, his tray practically untouched. He wasn’t big on breakfast— Argyle reached over and immediately swiped the bowl off it to give himself a second helping of cereal.
“Wait, where are you going?” Steve blurted. The only thing scarier than being with Billy inside the prison was being without him. He could feel the eyes on him, all the men waiting to swoop in and grab a piece of him. He felt like he’d already be dead if it wasn’t for Billy’s protection.
“Outside to work out. If you think I’m such a monster, you can stay here all on your own and see how long you last. Eds, up. Come on. Follow me,” he instructed, then he looked to Argyle. “Pretend he doesn’t exist, amigo. See how well he fairs on his own.”
Billy would never let anything serious happen to Steve without his permission and presence, but a little fear would make him more compliant and needy. The sooner he realized he needed Billy’s protection — and to stay on his good side — the better.
“Wait, no,” Steve fumbled to get up to follow them, but Billy completely ignored him and started to lead Eddie outside. “Wait! Billy, wait.”
Hargrove came to a complete stop, fast enough that Steve crashed into his back and then went stumbling backwards. The silence that followed was deafening until Billy’s voice broke through it like a knife. “What the fuck did you just say?”
Every eye in the cafeteria was on them; Steve could feel it, Eddie could feel it, Billy could feel it. Half the men had their mouths hanging open with surprise that Steve had the balls to call Hargrove by his first name, and the other half couldn’t believe that he even had a first name.
“I just said wait,” Steve started, but he clammed up upon seeing how horrified Eddie suddenly looked. He hadn’t even realized what he’d said, what private name he’d used right there in the cafeteria where too many inmates had heard them.
A name he didn’t have permission to use.
“It just slipped out earlier when he was afraid. I didn’t mean to say it. You’ve never had another pet before, I figured you’d have told him—” Eddie started, reaching for Hargrove’s hand, but Billy simply held a finger up to silence him.
“Cell. Now. The both of you. Be naked and on your fucking knees waiting for me unless you want to make this even worse on you.”

If you haven't seen the post from @corgiplays then you should go see it, this one, and read it now!
It got everything and the time line is right (I misunderstood their comment and thought the timeline was 3 months)
So I just wanted to talk about the Ronance part and how S4 will go
So basically I also think it will go as canon.
Since Nancy just lost a friend and all, she would definitely be frustrated and just wants answers (or idk, but like how she acted in the library) and since her relationship with Robin has been strained, she acts the same with Robin as she does in the show, but more in the sense that she doesn't like how Robin makes her feel because it distracts her from the task and thinks it's a negative emotion (jealousy or dislike idk).
And I think S4 should be the same.
so I googled for the last post (to make the timing more accurate) when the day was the Byers moved and it says it was in October (but that doesn't really matter ig). And well it's a AU so we can change the timelines, but I just wanted to ask real quick if you (Corgi) meant to make S4 in April? Because it's in March actually.
But eitherway I don't care, just wanted to make sure you actually wanted to write that.
So what I actually wanted to talk about is Max.
Mostly because her and Robin got closer.
In S4 she distances herself from the party.
When would it happen?
If you want S4 to be in April she can distance herself in March, since it's Billy's birthday month. Idk how emotions work, so idk how she'd react (I'm also not good in character studies).
I have two ideas
Either she distances herself and goes to Billy's grave and just gets hit with depression and all that, so she closes herself off completely for like a period of time. (idk)
Or the wholesome version where she asked Robin if she can come with her to visit Billy and she wants to close herself off but Robin gives her support and safety (or idk), but she still feels guilt and all that (like in the show) and doesn't talk to Robin about it because she doesn't want to bother her.
Finding out Max is going to get Venca'd, makes Robin very anxious and protective, she threatens Steve to keep her safe, while Nancy and her go to Viktor, which Robin was very determined but anxious about (she acts like she does in the show but feels anxious because she doesn't want Max to die) and when it feels like they aren't gonna get to talk to Viktor she spoke that beautiful/powerful speech of hers and well ye..just like in the show..but with her bond with max now involved.
Nancy definitely let's her gay show in the library. She honestly forgot that Robin cracked a Russian code and that she's a genius, so when Robin finds the stuff about Viktor something clicked in her brain, she fell in love right then and there, but doesn't know it 😪 or represses it.
Anyway let's get to Murray and Robin.
I feel like when Robin was in the apartment Murray got her after finding out about Vecna, she tried to call him (Either to tell him about Vecna or to lie and try to keep him from coming to Hawkins so that he's safe) but well since he's going to help Joyce in California is didn't pick up the phone. And Robin kinda got worried (she called again but well he's not there) but just pushed it down when Max was a target. So when they reunite, Robin was so relieved and happy and hugs him tightly (with Murray having no idea what is going on in Hawkins, he's confused but happy nonetheless). Idk when (probably after the two day skip) idk where (I'd want it to be at Hopper's cabin with the other reunions)
Also little bonus: Murray wanted to visit Robin in Hawkins (in like 2-3 days, which is also why Robin would have said not to come to Hawkins ) so when Joyce calls he didn't want to go at first but when he heard it's about Hopper he ofc went. So he tried to call Robin but she was out looking for Eddie or smth (idk when what was) so she wasn't home and he just left with sending her a letter or smth?? (which she never noticed tho).
So um.. I forgot if I wanted to say anything else. But um. I'm too lazy to write anymore stuff so ye
Lots of love ✨♥️🤗✨
Also tiny fun fact: Billy and I share a birthday 🤓

Oh boy rambling time.
Okay, so. I'm still thinking about the whole.... Element AU, name pending. The one where Billy spits water.
Anyways feel free to ignore this, uh.
So, like. I'm taking that general but ultimately loose piece of work and inserting it into a Coffee Shop AU. Everyone knows a good ol' coffee shop AU. Fair warning, I'm about to take the characters and pretend it's all fine and dandy.
Steve and Billy are like.. friends, sort of, in this. Billy moved into this town back in high school, as usual, loud and angry and proud, and generally a piece of work. High school basic rivalry and all that. In this AU, everyone gets powers. It's all elemental, basic five elements, whatever. Billy has his water Squirtle powers, Steve gets his plant powers. You would think that it would be beneficial, but no. They loathed each other back then. Billy would drown his plants every single time, and Steve would trip him in the halls.
Time passes, and somehow come to some sort of mutualistic understanding that beating each other up, no matter how fun and cathartic it is, is not gonna work in the long run. Honestly would not be surprised if they had somehow gotten trapped in a landslide, the kind that not even Steve could power his way out of, and had to help each other in order to not die. Some light bonding experience. They get out, begrudgingly get along, and then as they become adults Billy simply... doesn't leave like he's always ranted and raved about. He's got his own personal reasons, somewhere between Max and wanting to continue to bother Steve as long as physically possible. Perhaps even a crush. Who knows.
Regardless they're both still in town, and somewhere in that they end up opening a coffee shop together. Coffee beans are still plants, even if leaves are more common when talking about plants in general. Sure, not Columbian, but it's local grown and Steve's got QUITE the green thumb on him. The place thrives, and they even get to hire other people! How joyous. Even if Steve finds it frankly disgusting every time Billy water guns a cup of joe.
They're making a decent living, Billy lives above the shop, Steve lives somewhere else, privacy and all that. The kids are still very much present in Steve's life, of course. At first, back when Steve was with Nancy, it was more of a 'knowledge by proximity' kind of deal and the kids didn't really bother with him. Sometimes they would ask him things, but nothing personal, more like little fetch quests as little kids tend to do to older folk.
Somewhere in that time the kids became attached, and after Steve helped Dustin when he accidentally exploded his basement after he sneezed thanks to a really weird lizard that he stole out of a trash bin and then proceeded to kick up dust everywhere, the kids just sort of.... Attached to him like stubborn glue and now he can't get rid of them. Even if they're all much older now and technically don't even need him anymore. Especially now with the addition of Max, who had to deal with Steve because Steve deals with Billy and the Party. Again, association by proximity. Nowadays she just huddles in the corner of the shop doing Max things. Occasionally even brings along Jane and Lucas.
Robin is still very much a piece of Steve's ever so wonderful history, but just for funsies they're actually childhood besties. Known each other since forever, the kind of friends that parents would coo at on the playground because 'Oh look honey, that girl's already got herself a boyfriend!'
Those kinds. They're still 100% Platonic Capital P. Robin's gay awakening was in fact in Steve's proximity, Steve immediately teased her for it because she deserves standards, and have been sewn at the hips ever since. Robin has air powers, which mostly translates to Robin occasionally flying. You know. Like a robin. Tweet tweet motherducker.
It also translates to even more benefits for them, because Robin can pollinate Steve's plants (And occasionally just Steve), and Steve can make quite a beautiful leaves/petals falling scene. Yay, mutualism.
Back to coffee shop AU. So. They've been there for a good while, and then someone buys the empty building next to them. Before, it was some noodle shop, before someone was caught putting malachite in the soup (Why I cannot say) and before that it was a flower shop. During those times Steve visited a whole lot, half because he was in his element (literally) and half because he spent his time researching the best ways to not have to magically feed his coffee plant every time by seeing how people kept flowers alive. Then they moved away, so that was a grade A bummer.
Lo and behold, here comes Eddie Munson to the scene. He didn't buy the place, he simply just works there. The building gets spruced up into essentially a gaming cafe. Oooh, how fancy. They don't really sell food, it's the kind that people come and play games. This is all set in a somewhat modern universe, so most of the time it's being used for the computer. Perhaps playing Club Penguin. There's also board games galore, and of course in the back Eddie's got his own space for DnD campaigning.
Eddie's little 'dungeon', as he likes to call it, actually changes decor based on what campaign he's DM-ing. The only consistent part of it is the candles and torches. As a fire elemental he finds the flickering of it sort of soothing and quite immersive at times, able to make them dim and flare at his command. Hell, sometimes just for fun they're scented, really get the scene going.
For a while the two shops don't really bother each other, other than the first time when Steve and Billy checked out the new place after Dustin got really excited over a new hangout spot, especially one so close to Steve. Other than that, the two were allowed to hang on their own.
It doesn't mean it remains that way forever. No. Eddie started pulling all-nighters in preparation for his campaign, planning and setting everything up, and caffeine was his solution to not drooling all over his notebooks.
Eddie really does do his best holding back that same drool when his gay little heart catches the boys next door. Yay, fun times, romance woohoo.
Heading onto other characters. Argyle obviously also has plant powers, but the only thing that man grows is mushrooms, weed, and occasionally really huge sunflowers because sunflowers are hilarious when experienced. He can grow other things, like every plant elemental can, he just doesn't. Happy to stick to simple things and sunflowers. He works at his beloved Surfer's Pizza, having a grand ol' time.
Chrissy is an air elemental user like Robin, and also like Robin uses it to fly. Eddie, a long time friend of hers, likes to joke that given enough time Chrissy could float away like a feather or a spiderling off on an adventure. She works at a gym, teaching kids nifty tricks and runs a cheerleading program there.
I'm honestly a little hung up on what Nancy would be. Fire would be good, she's got the independent and headstrong role to her, but also water type Nancy has some appeal to me too. Calm, deliberate, gets into everything given enough time.
Jonathan seems like a plant type person too, a Mother Nature kind of thing. I feel like the entire Byers family gives off that plant kind of vibe, but at the same time no. Like Joyce could be plant based, but a determined sort of fire user Joyce but in that warm, hearth way makes me happy. A Joyce that exudes comfort no matter what, but has a protective streak when it comes to people she loves.
Uhhh... So, elements. Elements. They probably sprout out at around.... Age 10 or so? Perhaps it comes with the joys and horrors of puberty? They would reasonably need to be at an age that they understand at a basic level what to expect and able to control to an extent, because giving a baby fire powers is generally not ideal. Maybe, as a kid they show signs of an affinity to a certain element, maybe manifest minor side effects that are just a part of their DNA. Like fire babies are generally much warmer, water babies kind of need to be hydrated more and somehow are slick to the touch (Hydrodynamics?) earth babies are happier on the ground then in someone's arms, and so on. But outside of that, nobody can truly tell, because babies are in generally kind of weird while Steve left snacks Steve again entertain each other.
Anyways, Billy keeps writing Eddie's name wrong on purpose, Steve somehow keeps writing Empty for Eddie, despite the cup not being empty.
I'm tired, I'll ramble some other time.

Wally anon: Oh noooo @ your phone dying. 💔
Oh, there's gonna be SO many, I did not. anticipate how much I would respond to it, so thank you very much for convincing me to watch. 🙌 Yup, the movies never make a good case of it compared to past movie geek characters (especially Kirby, who I still find to be THE ultimate movie geek of all). The fact she's making such blatant accusations of people would get her instanty. killed if the writing knew what it was doing (cause it's already prevented her from being in the finale twice dkfdk). I weirdly enjoyed her more in 6 cause I think Jasmin was able to enhance the humor more + the relationship between her & Anika was >>>> Absolutely agreed on Chad, though. His & Tara's relationship is incredibly. forced cause they go from having z e r o interactions in 5 to suddenly being all over each other each other in 6 cause the writers wanted to rehash Gale/Dewey without putting in the work. 🙄 I don't even want. Chad to die, but they reallyyyyy keep pushing the boundaries of the franchise's own.rules. with wounds just because "Dewey kept surviving" (even though, no, 5, Dewey was not. stabbed as many times as you make him say. he was, you are inserting a false narrative to excuse your bad writing) while making even worse. mistakes to excuse Chad's perpetual survival. 💀
(Completely makes sense cause his ego dkfhd) Yessss you get it. You really. have to get forceful with him & that just turns him on harder & makes him moan louder cause he needs. it, he needs. you to make him cum. 🥴
lolllll just you wait, cause you're about to get the biggest individual request dump I've sent so far. 🫣
Tell me about it. 💔 True, though. Like the direct opposite of ~aversion therapy~ where they have to watch gay sex until they don't hate gays anymore kdhdjs. Yupppp & they'd be fighting the entire time over which end of you they were carrying. Ridiculous fr.
That's what you think @ not much of an AU. But I've got a request inbound. 👀
And Milo would've been SO. good at being a killer. You can just feel. he has a more villainous character just itching to come out with more roles & I can't wait for the day we get to see it. 😭 Ooh @ first. I can't really recall who exactly mine was cause there were a l o t of ~gay awakening~ moments for me that didn't fully. dawn on me until later lollll. Fingers crossed @ IAWK. There's a REALLY hot guy in it that I haven't stopped thinking about since I saw it, so I wonder if you'll end up feeling the same. 🫣 The writers are too cowardly to see what's staring us all right in the face, but WE all see the vision. 🙌 (It's kind of funny how I ship Steve & Tommy more than Eddie even though Tommy b a r e l y existed on the show & then when you throw Billy into the mix, that just creates even hotter scenarios/pairings/possible polyamory among the 3, like dhdkdkd they reallyyyy dropped the ball doing nothing with all this juicy material 🫠) I used to like the OG more than I do now but the last time I watched it (when Spiral came out), I was like, "Oh...I don't think so, sorry" fjdkdb. But II > III > VI > X > OG > Spiral (the portion of the franchise that I find tolerable) > 3D > V > IV > Jigsaw (all varying degrees of terrible to me)
That makes sense. I know they had been working on it for sometime cause people kept asking for a UD follow-up for years, it's just unfortunate that it doesn't quite. live up cause the a m o u n t of work that went into UD is still readily apparent all these years later. 👍 Yupppp, exactly. Very much the same principle as when straight/white/etc. are similarly presented as the default. 👎
(Happy belated bday 🥳) I see, I see. Hoping for the best with you expanding your skills. Always fun to give something new like that a chance. 😌 Absolutely agreed. He is VERY accommodating (in both regular interactions & while fucking), but is completely comfortable with his body, as he should be! 🤫 (Oh? What do you have in mind @ another AU 👀)
Happy to be of service. 🫡 You'll have to let me know what you end up watching. Of course @ the festivities. Hope you have fun. 🥰 And thank you. ❤️❤️❤️ lolllll, if only 🫣
yeah i remembered mostly everything but it was like 5am while writing it so i didn’t even see the percentage my phone was at😭
Yess of course🤭 happy to help fuel the fire for Milo’s characters😮‍💨 And exactly!! Kirby is the movie geek of Scream. no contest. I genuinely like that she fits the role but is also her own character in other ways. She pursues a (fake) love interest, we see her house and her personality as a movie geek is tested (and she is proven to be wrong towards the end.) Which is muchhh different than randy who felt like this invincible God at times, helping Sidney with his over the top knowledge of the movies (even more so when he literally goes with her to college and all). Plus, he’s so intense about them that it’s almost comedic. Yeah, her and Anika’s relationship was definitely good in 6, I just wish they didn’t use Anika as one of the only “major” deaths of that movie😭 I totally agree with Chad, he survived these major bleed outs and gets stabbed so much, yet Dewey was stabbed less and to a lesser severity and died?? Insane.
Yes ugh he’s never cum hands free without you there to turn him into a total mess (literally once he cums and keeps going)
Love how it started at number 25 on today’s date.. it’s perfect🫣
Yeah I joke about it because straights obviously pushed conversion therapy on us at one point so it’s funny to joke about doing to them. Make them watch infamous videos such as “right in front of my salad??” and the pumpkin carving one (it’s straight but cropped so they only see the guy sksjsj) Huh… it seems like the only way for them to not fight is to let them both have you…🤭
Can’t wait to read it😼
Exactly! I kind of saw it in Wally because it’s supposed to be a mystery and there are times where he feels almost apathetic to Maddy’s issues, especially when she’s so concerned with the human world that she forgets about him and the rest of the ghosts. I like that they didn’t make him the “villain” (since they’re multiple) but there were layers there that could be expanded in his other roles. I can’t wait to see him finally act as one🫣 maybe in a thanksgiving sequel… one day.. I’ll watch It’s a Wonderful Knife first then!! Exactly, Tommy > Eddie just saying. I found him to be more interesting and having better, hotter dynamics with Steve and Billy over Eddie. Honestly, Saw I has the worst rewatch ability out of any Saw movie because it’s not a fun gorefest like Saw II and beyond, and the twist isn’t really all that crazy after you know what it is. It ends up feeling boring but I can appreciate it🫡 Jigsaw being last is so real. It had potential going into it but the twists suck and the first guy “dying” in that room with the buckets on their heads and the saws made me realize I was going to have some sort of problem with it.
Yesss and it feels like less work went into developing the characters in TQ (even though Jacob is my favorite for being the most flawed of the bunch), there isn’t the same level of quality that UD has. Presentation-wise, it’s better and I found less technical glitches during my multiple playthroughs of the quarry, but yeah… still feels really flat. Yes ugh i hate that “reader” is synonymous with White/straight/female (usually those three specifically) and anything else needs specification. It’s weird that POC in general (or the race) needs to be specified regarding the reader but White doesn’t… i just wish reader could mean that anyone from any background could read it fr
Lmao three months until my next one! He’s super comfortable, he’s taking skinny dipping over bathing suits and would play football in just the gear he needs (no tight pants limiting movement yk) For the other AU I meant that he’s like the only ghost there and/or he’s like your personal ghost so he doesn’t have to bother putting clothes on
Thanks! Hope it’s great for you too!!🖤🖤 I’m seeing the requests come in already and they’re sooo good😮‍💨 Yeah maybe with one bow, some whip cream, and looking like the best christmas dinner desert you could ask for skksjdhd

Unless...? Ch. 7
Tumblr media
Previous | Fic Post Master List
Steve Harrington wants to be best friends with Billy Hargrove.  He wants to marry him--as friends--so they'll always be together, and he's going crazy, trying not to be weird about it, and scare Billy off.  Also he's in a band, and they run a bar.Billy's buckling under an onslaught of friendly Harrington flirtation.  Also he's just been hired as the new bartender. For Day 2 of Febuwhump, "I can't take this anymore."
Steve talked Billy’s ear off for hours—rehearsal wasn’t until the afternoon—and listened to Billy on speaker, making himself granola and yogurt, a protein shake, and doing his workout.
“S-sorry,” Billy grunted, lifting weights, and Steve felt heat all across his face again. His hands had gone all sweaty, like Billy was some—like he was an older, cooler kid at school that Steve wanted to impress. Which was stupid, Steve told himself, because Billy was a normal dude, living in a grotty apartment with carpet the color of used diapers.
“...whatcha doing,” Steve asked, considering going for a run, since he couldn’t settle.
“Triceps,” Billy huffed, and Steve couldn’t help picturing Billy’s arms, the way they strained the tight sleeves of his jacket. “Uh,” Billy panted. “Play me something?”
“Oh, uh, sure, okay,” Steve laughed, because he hadn’t been sure what to talk about, and he’d been wondering whether to hang up.
“You...driving back Monday?” Billy asked, as Steve opened his guitar case, and considered what to play.
“Nah, I got rehearsals,” Steve said distractedly, and then realized as he started tuning that Billy’d been quiet a while. “...hon?” he asked, and then bit his lips together, flushing, as something crashed on Billy’s end, and he yelped. Steve winced, grimacing. “Sorry.”
“Am I your honey now?!” Billy asked, snickering. “Y’know…” he said, and Steve relaxed, a little, because he could hear the smile. “—for somebody who’s always worried he’s too much, I feel like you’re never around.”
“Well, you left, shithead,” Steve pointed out. “You skipped out on our damn slumber party.”
“I thought I’d see you in a few days, asshole,” Billy shot back, laughing. “Didn’t know I was signing up to be, like, a band widow.”
“I thought maybe you’d want some space, I told ‘em I’d stick around a while,” Steve admitted, laughing.
“I don’t want space from you, moron,” Billy hissed, and Steve let that settle over him, soaking into him like water on a dried out sponge. He could feel himself getting soft and gushy, and his eyes went a little blurry.
“I—I’ll tell ‘em I need to wrap it up,” he said, kinda hoarsely. “I’ll, um. I’ll be back. Soon. After next weekend maybe?”
“I mean, do what you need to do, it’s your job,” Billy muttered, but he sounded kinda pouty, and Steve laughed.
“You know I’m only here ‘cause I was scared of scaring you off,” Steve told him, and Billy sighed.
“You’re not gonna, moron,” he said, and Steve pushed that into the back of his head to think about later, and dove into practicing songs for their wedding, until Billy was laughing so hard he couldn’t breathe.
“So next week,” Steve said, finally, as Billy’s panting giggles petered off. “You marrying me?”
“Jesus,” Billy mumbled, muffled-sounding, and Steve remembered he’d said he was curling up on the couch.
“You don’t gotta,” Steve told him, seriously. “I won’t—I’m not gonna be mad or anything, I know you don’t—want to, as much, uh, as I do—but if you do want to, I wanna—I wanna plan—make some plans, y’know. Um, make it—make it nice.”
“Make it nice,” Billy repeated, sounding less grouchy than usual, and more in shock, and Steve wanted again to just load everybody Billy’d ever dated into cement shoes and then a dump truck, and tip them into Lake Superior.
“Yeah, nothing super fancy, I mean, but a cake, maybe some friends?”
“...friends. Wait, your friends?” Billy asked, sounding disbelieving.
“Yeah, I’m gonna have to tell Robin she was right the whole time, I’m gay for you and I love you. I mean, it’s half true.”
“...half true,” Billy said, sounding strangled.
“I mean,” Steve said, feeling his cheeks heat, again, and rubbing his face. “It’s just—it’s not like we’re really marrying for taxes, right. I—I gotta love you to wanna marry you this bad.” Billy made a weird noise on the other end, and Steve winced. “Uh,” he said, grimacing, “—so I thought I’d just—just tell her she’s right, you know? Tell the band and everybody—okay, you’re right, I do, I do love him, we’re getting married, bring us presents?”
“...you wanna tell everybody you’re bi and invite them to the wedding,” Billy repeated blankly.
“Well, here’s the thing,” Steve said, pacing around. “It’s logical, okay—”
“It’s logical,” Billy repeated, and Steve hissed.
“Ssssht! Look, I know this dude who can perform weddings, alright? We can do it somewhere nice! Nicer than the courthouse. Have Jonathan take some photos.”
“Photos,” Billy whispered, and Steve groaned.
“I want photos! We’re gonna look nice!”
“...this…” Billy said, into the silence, and took a shaky breath. “Steve, this—this sounds like a real wedding.”
“Well, yeah, you told me to get a license and shit, right, it is a real wedding.”
“No, I mean,” Billy said, and then paused. “...I—I mean it sounds real, like you—like you want to—to be married—”
He cut off, and Steve waited, and then blew his cheeks out in frustration, and took a deep breath. “We don’t have to,” he said again, shutting his eyes. “You say the word and I’ll just—I’ll drop it, okay, I promise. I won’t—I won’t call you husband anymore—”
Billy made a wheezing noise, and Steve waited to see if he’d talk, but he didn’t.
“Billy. Just tell me if I’m—being too much. I’ll back off, I promise.”
“You’re not too much,” Billy said instantly, and Steve swallowed, grabbing the phone with both hands, and wishing he was holding Billy. “You’re not, you—you’re fine, uh. Just. Are you...sure. I’m what you want.”
“You’re exactly who I want,” Steve growled. “If you don’t wanna wedding I’ll just keep coming to see you, and—and I’ll keep annoying the shit out of you at work, and dragging you over for slumber parties, and when one of us drinks too much we can stay together so nobody falls down any stairs, and…”
“...hugs,” Billy sighed, and Steve flushed, nodding.
“And when you’re having a shitty day I’ll pick you up again and carry your muscled ass around until you feel better,” he promised. “Wish I was doing that.”
“And you want me to sleep in your bed,” Billy said, flatly, but Steve was ready for that sticking point.
“I’ll order a couch I can sleep on,” he said quickly. “Or we can move somewhere with more rooms. Two people paying rent, right? We can get something nice.”
“...we should just up and buy something, then,” Billy laughed. “All your rockstar money.”
“Okay,” Steve said instantly, and Billy made a weird choking noise. “No, shut up, listen, it makes sense, right, we’ll be together, we can have our own place. I can soundproof a room to practice in.”
“...picket fence and a dog,” Billy laughed, unevenly, and Steve wished violently that he could grab the dumbass and squeeze him until he stopped freaking out.
“You want a dog, you get a dog,” he said quietly. “You can have five. Ten.” Billy was quiet on the other end for a long time, and Steve bit his lips together. “...up to you what you want, okay?” he said finally, and heard Billy take a shuddery breath.
“Gimme a chance to tell my sister,” he said, and Steve bit his lips, nodding. “Let her...try and talk me out’ve it. Or she’ll punch me in the head.”
“Okay,” Steve laughed, his stomach falling a little.
“A-and then—fine. Not—not this weekend. N-next. Weekend. She’s not gonna talk me out of it, so. Let’s,” Billy said hoarsely. “Let’s—let’s do it. A-a wedding. The whole—the whole works. If you—if you’re willing to give it to me, I’ll take it. Fucking—moron not to take it. Gimme—everything.”
Steve yelped a laugh and covered his mouth, his vision going blurry. “Jesus,” he whispered. “Holy shit, yes. Gonna—gonna sweep you off your feet. I gotta—I gotta go, I gotta plan our wedding—”
“Okay,” Billy said, laughing too, kinda wet and sniffly, but still a laugh, and Steve couldn’t help giggling too.
“I’m gonna make you so goddamn happy,” he threatened. “You’re not gonna know what the fuck hit you.”
“Says you,” Billy snorted. “Maybe I’ll make you the happiest moron alive—”
“You will,” Steve breathed, and Billy made a strangled choking noise again, yelled ‘fuck you, Harrington’, and hung up. Steve flopped onto his back on the bed and screamed until the neighboring rooms banged on the walls. “Holy shit,” he panted, wiping his eyes. “Holy fuck.”
He dialled Robin.
“Hey there, heterosexual white male,” she answered, and Steve rolled his eyes.
“I’m gay and you should come to our wedding,” he said, and she actually paused, for a second.
“...bi?” she suggested, and Steve grimaced.
“Um, whichever. I’m marrying Billy for, um, fucking reasons. I’m gonna suck his cock. I’m telling the truth now.”
“...for some reason that makes it feel like you aren’t,” she said slowly, and Steve groaned.
“We will be having butt sex,” he tried, and she was quiet for a while.
“What’s going on,” she said finally.
“You were right,” he tried, frustrated. “I was wrong, I—I am marrying Billy for—for totally normal reasons, you’re my friend, you have to come!”
“...totally normal reasons,” she repeated.
“Normal, uh, absolutely normal gay sex reasons,” he hissed. “You were right, it’s gay sex reasons. Gonna—gonna let him put his, um, his dick, uh, up my poop chute.”
“Oh my god,” she wheezed, cackling. “Steve, what the fuck is going on?!”
“Up my...ass?” he corrected uncertainly, and she laughed harder.
“Steve!”
“Yessss?” he hissed, aggravated.
“What the actual fuck? What are you even—”
“You said it was obvious!” he growled back at her. “You were right! I give in! I’m gay and I’m gay-marrying Billy and we’re having gay dog babies! You were right and you have to come to my super gay wedding!”
“...gay dog babies,” she said, sounding mystified.
“Look, are you coming, or what,” he huffed, and she made a weird muppety honking noise. Because they’d been friends a long time, he could imagine the exaggerated face she was making. He glared at the wall. “You gonna miss my wedding?”
“No?!” she sputtered. “I just—you sound like a cartoon, what’s even happening?!”
“I’m marrying Billy,” Steve said, again. “Weekend after next. I want—I want it nice, y’know, I want pictures and...things.”
“Awww, you’re such a dork,” Robin laughed. “When?”
“Help me get everyone there, d’you think, like, Saturday morning would work?”
“Cake for breakfast,” Robin said thoughtfully, but then sighed. “It’s a long drive, man, how early?”
“Oh,” Steve said, grimacing. “What about afternoon? After lunch?”
“There is gonna be cake, right,” she said, and he nodded as he answered.
“‘Course. You think I’m gonna marry my man without cake?”
“That sounded more real,” she said thoughtfully, and Steve rolled his eyes. “I’ll get Jonathan and Joyce up there. You know Dustin is gonna actually kill you.”
“He’ll have to fight Nancy,” Steve said grimly. “She’s gonna break my neck. I’m kinda afraid to tell her, honestly, she always said she’d be my Best Woman.”
“I sure don’t wanna do all that planning,” Robin said, “Though the bachelor’s party sounds fun. I know this is a bizarre idea,” she said, laughing, “—but like. You could wait.”
“I don’t want to,” Steve said, registering a little whine in his voice, and Robin cracked up laughing. “What if he changes his mind,” Steve muttered, like a totally reasonable adult, and she laughed harder.
“You could just bone him,” she suggested.
“Ah,” Steve said, grimacing. “Yeah, um. That’s—I am, um, just, like, really...horny. And he’s, uh, he’s saving himself for marriage. So, um, we gotta. We gotta tie the knot, to, uh, to do the do. Do the butt. Stuff.”
Robin whooped with laughter. “Now I know that’s not true,” she snickered, and Steve had a horrible image pop into his head of Billy taking dates home.
“...oh,” he said. “Is—is he—has he been—”
“He’s not cheating on you,” she groaned, laughing. “But he got around before you swept him off his feet, y’know. And he wasn’t married before, moron, you think he got a divorce or something from that asswipe? He was living in sin.”
“Oh, yeah,” Steve said, sighing with relief. “Yeah, that makes sense.”
“Come back tonight and shove him over the bar before he dies of horniness,” she suggested, and Steve’s dick twitched, like that was even anything he should be imagining.
“Ungh,” he said, around something in his throat.
She groaned. “You two are giving me blue balls, and that’s weird in so many ways.”
“Sorry,” he mumbled, trying not to imagine grabbing Billy by the collar and pushing him against anything, while Billy laughed and licked his lips. Billy was so much heavier than anyone Steve had dated, solid and strong and warm, and Steve felt a pang of loneliness, sitting there on his motel bed.
“I’m just saying,” Robin sing-songed. “I mean, if you really wanna marry him, good for you two, but like. Don’t be surprised when Dustin fills all your shoes with Jell-O, keys your car, and puts dye in your showerhead so it looks like The Shining when you turn it on—”
“Holy crap,” Steve mumbled, grimacing.
“Nancy’s gonna probably ask you shit like ‘when did you first know you were in love with him?’” Robin asked, her voice sugary.
When he made fun of my Youtube channel for hours, Steve thought, sighing as he remembered Billy sitting on the bar, singing along.
“...anyway, I’m marrying him,” he mumbled, huffily. “You can come if you want.”
“Oh, I’ll be there,” she laughed. “I wouldn’t miss your gay butt sex marriage for the world.”
“If you’re nice,” he hissed. “There’s gonna be cake if you’re not an asshole.”
“Maybe I’ll eat cake and then tell him how dumb you sound,” she said thoughtfully, and Steve winced.
“No, don’t, don’t tell him it sounded like I...didn’t want to, he’s already freaked out.”
“...hrm,” she said. “Did you sound as stupid saying it to him?”
“He said yes,” Steve pointed out, because he wasn’t sure.
“What the fuck did you even say? Put a ring on it for ass access?”
“No!” Steve yelped. “No, jesus, I just said I wanted to.”
“Hrrmmm,” she said. “This sounds deeply suspicious, and I’m not sure why.”
“It does not,” Steve told her, huffily, and she snorted a laugh.
Telling his bandmates went better. Steve kept it simple—‘Come to our wedding! There’s cake!’—and when they started to tease him he just agreed with everything they said until they stopped talking.
Finally, he called Billy again. “Do you still want Captain America and the Winter Soldier on the cake,” he asked anxiously, because everyone was laughing at him, and he was starting to want to just elope. “I mean, they’re friends. Just friends. And we’re pretending that, um.”
“Jesus fucking christ,” Billy muttered. “Yeah, sure, Steve, with you to the end of the line.”
“We could get something else if you want,” Steve said lamely. “I’ve seen, um, sometimes they have Hot Wheels. Get you a Camaro.”
“Y’know I never thought I’d say this, but I think the superheroes sound more like a grownup wedding cake, let’s go with them,” Billy said, obviously trying not to laugh, and Steve both wanted to shove him, and pull him into a hug.
“Love you,” he said, automatically, and Billy made a squeaking grunt noise, like a large truck trying to brake on a hill.
“...don’t break me before the wedding,” he muttered, and Steve realized if it was a real wedding, he’d make a joke there, something like ‘oh no, I’ll save that for after’.
He smacked his hand over his face. “Um. Everyone’s, uh, coming. Jonathan’s—he’s gonna take pictures. Of us. Everyone.”
“With our action figure cake toppers,” Billy said, snorting a laugh, and Steve winced a little, because he didn’t want his wedding to Billy to be stupid, something people laughed at.
He swallowed hard. “Um, yeah.”
“...you still there?” Billy asked, and Steve nodded, then realized that wasn’t helpful.
“Uh,” he said, clearing his throat. “Yeah, I’m here.”
Billy laughed. “You changing your mind already?”
“No!” Steve yelped. “No, no, I’m not, I just. I—want to.”
“...but?” Billy asked quietly.
“Everyone I know is an asshole,” Steve said frankly. “I thought they could, y’know, maybe be happy for me, but apparently they’re pricks, so—”
“You know you’re marrying one of those pricks,” Billy said, like Steve wasn’t aware.
“I know I’m marrying my favorite, and everybody else can go fuck themselves,” Steve muttered, and Billy laughed.
“Well, you change your mind, you let me know,” he said.
“Maybe I’ll let them have cake if they promise to bring rad presents,” Steve allowed, relaxing a little.
“If not, I’ll throw them out for you,” Billy promised, and Steve’s heart warmed with the image of Billy carrying a yelling Robin over his head out the door.
He brought up the Costco cake-ordering website, and to his horror, there was nothing brand-name on it. “Billy,” he said bleakly. “There’s not even Spiderman.”
“We don’t want Spiderman anyway,” Billy said reassuringly, “—what would we do, have one of us be Doc Ock? Two lawfully wedded Spidermans? Send me the link.”
Steve copied and pasted it in as a text, staring at the puffy dinosaurs and soccer balls. “...it says some lady returned a dinosaur cake because she thought the shape of the visible feet made up the number 666,” he mumbled.
“...there’s a princess clown cake,” Billy snickered, and Steve imagined himself wedded with a clown cake. Perfect.
“Fuck,” he muttered. “Maybe I should just get a plain white one. Maybe there’s a cake supply place where I can get a little groom and groom.”
“I’ll get a little Bucky and Steve if you want,” Billy said, laughing.
“Nah, it was dumb,” Steve said, sighing. “I just—”
“I’ll get them,” Billy promised, and Steve laughed, his smile going a little goofy, but he let it, because it wasn’t like anybody was there to see.
“...really?”
“Yeah, really. I’ll get my best guy his little superhero toys. I got this.”
“Shut up,” Steve laughed. “Fuck. Love you, man, seriously.”
“...they gotta be on eBay or something,” Billy muttered distractedly, and Steve listened, grinning at the wall.
He decided it wasn’t so bad if the wedding was a little silly, as long as he got to marry Billy Hargrove, in the end.
The cake was easy—the lady paused for a long second when he said he wanted to put Bucky Barnes and Captain America in a heart, and then she suggested some stars as well. The little yard by the bar where they performed was public space, and the owner said it would be empty in the afternoon. He checked the weather, and it wasn’t even supposed to rain.
Billy drove back out on Friday, and Steve looked out mid-performance to see him dancing with a red-headed woman. The song ended, and Steve tried not to long to be her—not that it wouldn’t be weird to suddenly have boobs and get talked down to at job interviews, but it seemed, for a few minutes at least, like it’d even out if he could have Billy pull him onto the dance floor with a soft smile and an arm around Steve’s waist. His eyes stung a little thinking about it—Billy liking it when Robin teased them about being a couple, instead of going tense and grim, Billy smiling when Steve held his hand, instead of looking down at their linked hands like Steve was doing something bizarre.
Billy wanting to stay in Steve’s hotel room, and next to him in bed.
The thought of what Steve might have discovered had Tommy not ghosted him reared its ugly head again, and Steve swallowed it back, lowering his gaze to his guitar to check the tuning during the applause. It wasn’t like he’d actually leaned in and tasted Tommy’s panting mouth, he told himself. There was nothing concrete he should have told Billy—and Billy didn’t mind him, mostly, as long as he didn’t push too hard.
Maybe he wouldn’t even have liked it, he thought guiltily, and he was tying himself in knots for no reason at all. It was probably weird, kissing somebody with...stubble, and a muscled chest, and broad, warm shoulders. Somebody with a cock in his pants. The idea of a dick up his ass had always made Steve wrinkle his nose a little—everything he’d read said it took a while, right when things started heating up, and sometimes people hated it, and he’d already done his time in that didn’t-know-what-he-was-doing-in-bed phase already.
He grimaced, remembering Mandi, who’d had to stop a kiss, cough, and tell him not to choke her with his tongue—and then he couldn’t help imagining Billy—Tommy—a man—stomping out on their wedding night, because Steve was so awful at ass sex. Billy’d left when Steve was just too weird the week before, with the suits and the thongs and everything.
Steve wondered, suddenly, if he’d been so bad at handjobs that was the reason Tommy had left, and he had to bite back hysterical laughter onstage.
When he glanced up again—a few measures into a song he was performing entirely from muscle memory—Billy’s head was tipped back laughing, and Steve jerked his attention back to his guitar again to avoid thinking about kissing along his fiance’s adam’s apple. Steve focused on the music, singing with gusto, and once the set was over, somebody smacked his back and said, “You were great once you woke up, man.”
Billy waved, and Steve waved back, automatically, trying not to stare at where Billy’s arm was around the woman’s shoulders—and then with a swell of relief that hit him like a tall wave, he registered her Camaro tattoo that matched Billy’s skateboard, and realized, light-headedly, that she was Billy’s sister. Billy was frowning a little, and Steve grinned easily back at him. Billy watched him warily, and Steve pointed to his ring finger and kissed it, then watched Billy nearly disappear into the shouting crowd, his red, smiling face obscured by his hand.
By the time Steve got off the stage, put his guitar in its case, and figured out the next day’s practice, Billy and his sister were gone. There was a text on Steve’s phone with the address where they were having dinner—a Korean barbeque place, open until 3am. It was nearly one.
When Steve showed up at the restaurant—his heart pounding, and his palms sweaty, because Billy obviously listened to his sister, and he’d probably call the whole stupid plan off if Steve couldn’t win her over—he had an edible bouquet and his nicest shirt on.
Billy was already at a table, and as Steve walked closer, he could hear a woman’s voice saying “No, come on, I’m not saying that. I’m kinda worried you feel the need to be drunk introducing me to him—”
“Hey, babe,” Steve cut her off, leaning around the corner of the booth to kiss the side of Billy’s head over his ear, since he had his head in his arms. “How you doin’?”
Billy groaned. He smelled of tequila, and his sister levelled a deeply suspicious glower at Steve.
“Nice bouquet,” she said, raising her eyebrows. “That from a fan?”
“No, it’s for Billy,” Steve huffed, and Billy raised his head to blink woozily at the skewered pineapple flowers. “Didn’t figure you’d wanna juggle driving flowers home in a hot car. At least you can eat these.”
“Hrm,” said his sister, frowning at Steve.
“You okay?” Steve asked Billy, and he nodded, rubbing his face and groaning into his fingers.
“...get something in my stomach,” he muttered. “Drinking on an empty stomach.”
“Yeah,” Steve agreed, wondering, as he exchanged glances with Billy’s sister, if he should come clean.
“I’m gonna hit the can,” Billy said, lurching to his feet, and Steve scrambled out of the booth to let him pass.
“So this is all happening kinda fast,” Billy’s sister said crisply, and Steve blinked at her. Her frown was darker than her brother’s.
“...I guess?” he said, cautiously. “Once he finally said yes, I didn’t wanna wait until he changed his mind, kinda?”
“...finally?” she asked, narrowing her eyes.
“I mean, I told him I’ll stop asking if he wants, and nothing changes, I’m not gonna be mad or anything, I’m not—he said he doesn’t feel, like, pressured,” Steve said quickly, clutching at the menu.
“...how long you been asking?” she muttered, glancing towards the bathrooms.
“...almost as long as I’ve known him,” Steve admitted, wincing. “I can see why he didn’t take it serious—”
“...how long is that,” she said, raising her eyebrows, but she was starting to look entertained instead of worried.
“...months?” Steve mumbled. “He got hired after Christmas, right? I think I first asked him in...oh, maybe May or June?”
“...so an October wedding isn’t a huge rush,” she said, relaxing back against her seat with a sigh. “Jesus, Billy. I thought he met you, like, last week. How’d you even...you’ve been long-distance this whole time? He gonna quit his job and move out here? Has he been driving out here to meet you this whole year and he’s just telling me he was in the neighborhood?!”
Steve realized he was a very well kept secret, and waved his hands. “No, no! I work at the same place he does! I’m just here for a couple weeks. I live a fifteen minute drive from him. Usually.”
“...huh,” she said, thoughtfully. “So he’ll keep his job? That’s cool, I think he likes it a lot.”
“I’m gonna go check on him,” Steve said, realizing it had been a while, and also that she was starting to grin with delight, and it kind of made her look like a shark.
Billy was leaning against the sink with his back towards the mirrors, rubbing his face.
“You okay?” Steve asked, sidling around to see his face, and he nodded.
“...yeah,” he mumbled. “I just—I, um,” he cleared his throat, wiping his eyes, and Steve stepped closer.
“You wanna hug,” he asked, just to be sure, and Billy laughed.
“God, yes,” he whispered, and then oofed as Steve yanked him in, squeezing him tight around the shoulders and waist, and nuzzling into the curls at Billy’s neck. “Fuck,” Billy breathed, relaxing against him. “...missed this.”
“You can always have one,” Steve told him, sliding a hand up through the hair at the back of Billy’s head to cup the nape of his neck. “Tell me and I’ll drive out. Just—drop everything. ‘Kay?”
“Shit,” Billy sighed, shakily. “...kinda feel like I’m lying to her, letting her think we’re like...romantic,” he said thickly, “—but this is enough. Right? Fuck. Long’s you don’t get bored.”
“Not gonna get bored,” Steve said, cautiously. “...you, um. You...mean that? Thought maybe you were...y’know, second thoughts. When I saw the tequila shots.”
“No, no, no no no,” Billy mumbled, pushing him back so their faces were a couple inches apart, and Steve could smell the alcohol on his breath. “Uh,” Billy said, wiping his eyes again, and then cupping Steve’s face earnestly with both hands. “Thought I...thought I’d marry somebody...wanted to kiss me,” he slurred, and Steve winced.
“I can kiss you if you want,” he offered, his skin heating feverishly. “If—if you, uh, if you...want me to, I can—at least at the wedding—”
“Nope,” Billy said, brushing his thumbs over Steve’s cheeks, and grinning, a little. “See? You—you’re enough. Somebody...loving me. Loving me that much, you—you’re not too much. You’re just enough, Steve.”
“...I’m...enough?” Steve whispered back, the words hitting him a little harder than he expected. He took a long, shaky breath, staring into Billy’s red-rimmed blue-grey eyes.
“You’re...perfect, perfectly...dumb, perfect...Steve,” Billy stumbled over his words, frowning in concentration, and licked his lips. “You’re ‘nough. Be happy f’rever with my...Steve. You don’t gotta do...anything. Nothing diff’rent. Jus’ right. Not too much.”
“...okay,” Steve whispered back, swallowing. His eyes were stinging, his vision going blurry, and he sniffled, reaching up to rub his nose as Billy’s warm thumbs wiped under his eyelashes.
“M’ so lucky,” Billy mumbled, yanking him into a tight hug again. “Lucky I met you. Lucky you’re...Steve. Thanks, Steve. Don’ change.”
“...sure, man,” Steve choked out, his lungs jerking a little as he tried to breathe. “Love you too,” he whispered, as Billy squeezed him tighter.

A season 3 au-
“Where the fuck is Dustin!” Mike was jittery.
It was getting close to the end of Billy’s shift.
They had everything set up for the sauna test, but they were missing their one key ingredient.
“Steve only got off work like, five minutes ago. They’ll need a minute to drive here,” Max shot back at him.
Nobody was completely sure why El had been so insistent on Steve being a part of this.
“I still don’t know why we need adult supervision,” Lucas was ready with his wrist rocket.
“Steve can help.” El was staring into the sauna.
“Look, I know he’s been dragged into all this shit before, but he’s not the most competent pers-” Lucas was cut off by the sound of the locker room door opening, Dustin’s voice and the squeak of sneakers.
Steve looked pissed off as he came into view.
“Henderson has refused to tell me why I had to rush all the way over here after an eight hour shift-”
“We think Billy’s possessed by the Mind Flayer.” It was almost funny, how quickly Steve went slack jawed at Max’s words.
But he steeled his face.
“What’s the plan?”
“We’re going to lock him in the sauna, try to get it out.” Steve stared at Will.
“Lock me in with him.”
“Steve, Buddy, he’ll kill you. And if he doesn’t, you’ll die of heat exhaustion.” Steve wasn’t listening to Dustin, was stripping off his shoes and socks, his blue shirt until he was left in his shorts and stripped undershirt.
“It’s not a negotiation. Lock me in there with him. I can get it out.” He was looking intensely at El. She nodded once.
Steve stood in front of the sauna as the rest of the kids got into position.
He looked like he was gonna be sick.
They could hear Billy, taunting and jeering as he made his way closer.
And then he stepped into view.
“Stevie, you here for a little, after work fun.”
Steve waited until he got close enough, grabbing Billy and slamming them both into the sauna.
The kids acted quickly, locking them inside.
They watched through the tiny window as Billy easily pinned Steve to the tiled floor.
“What the fuck?” Billy looked wild.
He stepped off of Steve, pounding on the door.
The kids all took a few steps back.
“Open! The! Door!”
“Bill,” Billy went eerily still at Steve’s voice. The heat in the sauna was rising steadily, nearing the red area. “It��s okay.”
And then Billy collapsed, the heat in the room becoming too much.
He shrieked, writhing on the ground as the kids watched, Steve dropping to his knees by his side, hands fluttering about.
And then, it all just, stopped.
“Stevie, it’s not my fault, it’s not my fault, it’s not my fault-”
“Billy, I believe you. It’s okay, you just gotta, just talk to me, Baby, okay?”
Max took in a sharp breath. Lucas turned to Mike, mouthing Baby?
“It’s not my fault, Steve, I promise you it’s not my fault.”
“Just tell me, what’s not your fault?”
“I’ve done things, Steve, really, bad things, and I-I didn’t mean to-he, he made me do it.”
“Who made you do it?” Billy crumbled into himself.
“I don’t know, it’s like a shadow, like a giant shadow. Please, Steve.”
“What did he make you do?” Steve was combing his fingers through Billy’s wet hair.
“It’s not my fault!” Everyone jumped at Billy’s outburst, his sudden yell. “Okay, Steve? Please! Please believe me, Steve! It’s not my fault! I tried to stop him, okay? I did!” He had dissolved into sobs, his head in Steve’s lap.
It was surreal, watching big bad Billy Hargrove sob into another boy’s lap, clutching at Steve’s blue shorts and begging.
“Billy, I believe you. It’s okay, we all believe you. We’ve dealt with this thing before, okay? We’re gonna help you. Just, just focus on me. Think about, about the first time we hung out, okay? You came over, and you made that shitty apology, but I let you inside, and we got way too drunk, and we made out for hours until I had to go puke my guts out and you made fun of me all night.”
Will was pale.
They don’t know if Steve thought they couldn’t hear him, or if he just didn’t care anymore.
“Or, or the first time we went to the quarry, and I fell asleep in the Camaro, and you brought me home and carried me inside.”
Billy’s body was still shaking as he cried.
“Think about, about the first time-our first time. And, and how you kept saying you wanted to make it special and I kept making fun of you, but, but we did it, and, and we laid together all night after.”
Steve glanced up at the kids.
His face was red, his hair stuck to his forehead and the back of his neck.
He looked back down to Billy.
“Think about the first time that I told you I loved you. And how I thought I was gonna drive you away being too clingy, and you said, you just said it back.”
So this was, this was serious, this was real.
Dustin looked like he could pass out. Will was chewing his bottom lip to shreds.
And then Billy sat up, slowly, and fucking creepily.
He looked at Steve.
“Pretty Boy,” Steve smiled at him.
And then he lunged.
He clapped one hand in front of Steve’s nose and mouth, preventing him from breathing.
He held the back of his head with the other.
Steve was panicking, trying to claw at Billy’s arms.
Dustin yelled, going for the padlock on the door, but Will stopped him, his hand wrapping around Dustin’s wrist.
“No, just, just wait. Billy’s fighting him, it, and he’s, he’s winning.”
And then Billy’s head snapped back, and thick black smoke erupted from his mouth and nose.
The fog couldn’t escape the sauna, and they watched, disgusted, as it became viscous, as it turned into sludge on the ground, settling onto the tile like ash.
Billy let go of Steve as the kids scrambled to get the sauna open.
Dustin and Lucas went to drag Steve out, Mike helping Max with Billy.
El crouched down, running one finger through the ash.
“It’s dead.” She held up her finger. “This part of it. It’s dead. Too hot.”
Max slumped Billy against the wall, but he moved forward, crawling weakly to where Steve was gasping for breath.
“’m sorry.” Steve blindly flopped one hand out, grasping Billy’s forearm. “Didn’t want it going to you.” He let his head drop onto Steve’s shoulder. Steve patted his head clumsily.
“Just, just warn a guy next time.” He was all breathy.
“Wait so, if you two are like together, why didn’t you know he was possessed?” Max kicked at Steve’s shin.
“We’re in a fight.” Steve looked like a petulant child, glaring up at her.
“Jesus, what even about?”
Steve was silent for a moment. And then he started laughing, all wheezy and painful.
“I don’t even remember! Bill, what were we fighting about?”
“Sugar, it’s a damn miracle I remember my own name right now.” They both laughed, heaped and sweaty on the floor of the locker room.
“So, are you going to explain anything? Like the fact that you’re gay?” Dustin sounded like he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Steve waved a hand at him.
“Gimme a minute. It’s been a very long few days.” Billy pinched his side.
“Says you. I was possessed. You’ve just been pouting.”
Steve lolled his head over to pout at Billy, who still had his head buried in Steve’s shoulder.
“Quit it. I can fuckin’ feel those doe eyes.” Steve just laughed.

So @billy-baby mentioned That 70’s Show and Harringrove, and it reminded me of a *whole ass* set of hc’s about a 70’s/Stranger Things AU that has been sitting in my notes for literal years collecting dust, so here it is:
-Billy & Hyde would be besties, probably neighbours in the same shitty neighbourhood
-They headbang to hard rock and metal, jam to 60’s & 70’s rock while drinking TONS of beer and hotboxing the Camaro and El Camino, respectively
-Bands they’d have in common: AC/DC, Black Sabbath & Ozzy Osbourne, Scorpions, KISS, Judas Priest, Van Halen, and Led Zeppelin just to name a couple
-Hyde always gives Billy shit for like, never wearing a shirt, Billy gives Hyde shit for his ever-present sunglasses & sideburns
-They know each other’s parental problems, and take refuge in the Forman’s basement/the empty Harrington house (yes, we’re talkin’ a Hawkins, Indiana/Point Place, Wisconsin mashup here)
-Billy still has a major crush on Steve (Harrington that is, Steven Hyde will only be referred to as Hyde [and that possible name mix-up could cause some hilarity whenever anyone calls out “Steven”, and some embarrassing rumour drama for Billy, Steve, & Hyde (or omg a block party at the Formans where Kitty calls out “William! Steven! Michael!” And she turns around and has Billy, Will, Hyde, Steve, Mike, and Kelso starting at her expectantly)])
-Billy probably also thinks Eric and Kelso are kinda cute, but total dumbasses, they both definitely annoy him
-Fez would have a totally awkward and hilarious crush on Billy, and you just know Billy would flirt with him on purpose just to make him nervous (this might make Steve a lil jealous and annoy him to no end)
-Jackie would have the BIGGEST crush on Steve, after Kelso, and drag him around to go shopping and shit, he would tolerate it but Billy would absolutely hate her as a “bitchy rich entitled snot-nosed brat” cause she would be vocal about him being poor and he’d have to be calmed down by Hyde and Steve all the time
-Billy would give Hyde an unimaginable amount of shit for going out with Jackie, hooo boy!
-Steve would get a kick outta Kelso, but I think he and Eric would be pretty close friends, with Steve always pushing to hang around at the Forman’s cause Eric’s parents are always present, as opposed to his empty house (he adores Kitty Forman for SURE as the mother he never had)
-But the gang would surely hold parties at the Harrington’s....and only sometimes get away with it (both these groups are known for their KEGS! and the 70’s teens would lose their damn minds over Keg Kings Billy & Steve)
-Billy would put the charm on for Kitty sometimes just to see her blush, and Red would get annoyed and just a little threatening saying something like “Like to see how charming you are with my foot up your ass” and Billy being the abused kid that he is automatically takes it a little too seriously- probably flinches, goes a little pale, stutters out a “Yes sir, sorry sir”
-This would make Kitty and Red a bit concerned, pay a visit to the Hargrove household- I wouldn’t be surprised if they experience Neil putting Billy down or catch a glimpse of a smack or something and they would for sure take action with Red intimidating Neil cause you know he could
-Anyway! Girls. Robin and Donna would be THE BEST FRIENDS EVER, cause Donna had no other cool girl friend to hang out with and you just KNOW Robin might have an “itsy bitsy” (huge) crush on Donna, cause she’s Hot Donna, also they’re both super into female empowerment (and honestly, when Donna/Eric break up I could see her maybe falling for Robin too)
-Donna and Billy would be buds, she might like him for a hot minute but be cool with him being gay (Out of everyone in the 70’s gang, I think he’d most likely share this with her - cause she’d probably figure it out - even if it’s just to gush about their dumb, brave, pretty brunette boys to each other)
-Max would LOVE Donna, not just because of the hair (but also redhead solidarity is important), but because they’re both badasses and would totally vibe together- Max, Billy, and Donna would be an unexpectedly fun trio (and Billy would complain about having to drive the “GingeTwins” around all the time or something to that effect)
-And Jackie having to babysit Erica (because Donna does it sometimes, but she’s out for the night) would be the best thing ever good lord, Erica would put Jackie in her place, but they’d probably make up some schemes together too
-Also Erica would be absolutely appalled at having a similar name to Eric, she’d probably call him something along the lines of “Supreme Nerd” or “King of the Nerds” and have an endless supply of unimpressed looks for him during their debates of whose name is better
-Eric would totally join Mike, Will, Lucas & Dustin in their nerd exploits (STAR WARS!) And he and Dustin would get into loooong nerd debates
-I think Kelso would join Dustin & Lucas (and maybe the other boys too) in doing mischievous experiments including but not limited to: pyrotechnics, wrist rockets, radios and electronics... He’d begrudgingly listen to the scientific explanations of the boys (which would all fly right over his head) and they would have a moderate success rate, but also have to run away from the trouble they’d get in
-Lucas and Hyde would always be cool, but after finding out about Hyde’s biological dad they could become closer (Hyde’s dad and Lucas would have the best banter)
-Will and Eric would geek out over comics, and I think Eric would be super nice/supportive about seeing Will’s drawings
-Jonathan would be pretty quiet at first, but might talk to Fez since they’re both kinda the odd man out in each group (and he’d be genuinely NICE to Fez, *side eyes 70’s teens*)- then he’d be roped into doing random/stupid/mildly illegal stuff with the gang
-And despite Billy & Hyde being besties, I think Jonathan would bond with Hyde over shitty dads (plus I think Hyde would love Joyce, and she’d be another offer of refuge for him & Billy) and WEED WEED WEED
-Actually that might definitely be a sub-trio: Jonathan, Billy, & Hyde- they’d all have each other’s backs when it came to family drama (and later on when Hyde gets his record store, he’d offer them both jobs and Jonathan would be over the fuckin’ moon and work there)
-Billy would for sure work for Red in his muffler shop, and Red would take him under his wing, probably unwittingly become the father figure Billy never had.
-Nancy, hmmm, well she’s on the richer side of town so her and Jackie might be friends? but she’d for sure get annoyed with Jackie’s shallow bullshit
-OH and Robin would also hate Jackie I think, ‘cause of her entitlement and relentless obsession with boys (poor Jackie, I’m not setting her up for anything great here huh)
-So that’d be why Steve is friends with her, if only ‘cause he feels bad when she alienates herself from the rest of the teens, they (and I hate to say this) *could possibly* date for like 5 minutes, it’d be a REALLY hard time for Billy...and Kelso. And those two would probably come up with some hairbrained scheme to break them up (and succeed, but each get ripped a new one because of it)
-But at least the group of teen girls would be bigger if Donna, Robin, Jackie, and Nancy all hung out together sometimes (and if they tried to have a sleepover or something there would be toooo many idiot boys trying to creep on them, I think Billy would be the voice of reason and tell them they’re all being dickheads)
-And he’d give Fez a fuck ton of shit for being such a voyeuristic creep, probably make him stop hiding in people closets (wait what? Fez is like constantly coming out of closets in that show?! hello?? is that a thing??? Oh ho-ho they’d have a whole talk about that)
-Steve would get a kick outta Fez, probably think he was the funniest dude on the planet, as I’d say they’re the goofballs of the group (and yes, I am mostly excluding the King Steve narrative from this and using only cool mom Steve, cool? cool.)
-Steve might also have a lil crush on Donna, (‘cause a strong personality and blue eyes is like his kink, we all know this) but Eric would throw a fit about that and then they’d be all buddy-buddy discussing Donna & Billy (I think Eric being kind of a dumbass about his own gay kiss might put Steve off for a bit [and make Billy super hesitant and real pissed], but I also think Eric would be cool with hearing Steve out about his big bisexuality-discovery-adventure)
-Donna and Eric trying set Steve and Billy up by saying they’re all gonna hang out, and then like locking Billy/Steve in a room together or something and leaving😈
-When Billy/Steve’s relationship comes out, Hyde’s reaction is probably “That’s cool, man” Kelso would make some corny statement about how hot *he* is, Fez would probably fangirl over it with big ole heart eyes, Jackie would be like “weird, whatever”, Kitty would get flustered and then overly excited about it after a while, Red would be uncomfortable but okay with it saying something like “I better not catch you two dumbasses doing anything in my house”
-Ohmygod, Red as a father figure to Billy, Kitty as a mother figure to Steve, and they end up being so supportive of the boys ‘cause they have to put up with so much parental shit (say what you want, but the Formans have compassion) and they convert their house/backyard into a little private prom for the whole gang just so Billy/Steve can dance together and be themselves
-Billy, Steve, and Robin would die laughing every time they saw/talked to Leo. And I feel like Robin would talk her way into a job at the Photo Hut and then just end up being the manager and hires Jonathan herself to do the developments
-And you know how Hyde is always punching Kelso in the arm? Well he’d always get one, and Billy would punch the other arm as he’d classify Kelso a special kind of idiot, they’d always be teasing Kelso together, but Billy (and Steve I’m sure) would have some wicked BURNS that Kelso would love
-Steve and Kelso as friends? Sure, pretty boys gotta stick together~ especially when Steve gets called that by Billy, and then Kelso insists he’s a prettier boy, and Billy either rolls his eyes or flirts aggressively cause Kelso doesn’t understand WHY that’s Steve’s nickname, and it’s a whole can of worms you guys
-(And I didn’t forget about El, I’m just not quite sure where she fits in this AU... she probably doesn’t have powers and is the new kid who moves into town cause of a bad home life, she’d befriend Max in school and then I think Donna would take her under wing, then she’d be a hit with the teen gang cause she’d break her quietness with witty comments/one-liners, and since she’s very intuitive still, she gravitates towards Billy & Hyde and there would be some touching heart-to-hearts about shitty parental situations followed immediately after by inappropriate offers of beer to which she responds with a firm “gross”)
-And finally, *the Circle* would be so much bigger and funnier with the Stranger Teens in it

Despair  ∞ SPN 15X18
Dean was the first one starting to open up and express his feelings. Before he could watch Cas die in front of him for the million time.
It is written in this scene, in his eyes and posture. The way Dean realizes they are in the No Way Out, Last night on earth moment in the first frame. 
It’s in his face he is about to surrender, but realizing this will imply watching Cas die again.
I’ts in the way he approaches Cas, to have him closer and tell him he is sorry.
In another AU, where no deal with the empty had been made. In which Castel wouldn’t find the last minute solution, I believe it was Dean the one opening first to tell Cas how much he loves him first as his best friend. In another, I’m so scared to die but I’m glad is with you by my side, Bro discourse.
I believe it would always have been Dean who would have say I Love You first, and we would have had an honest and very shocked response from Cas. It will have end in a declaration of mutual love, and disbelief in each other feelings, but in a very romantic understanding. Both had been saved from Billy anyways.
Only in an AU without chickenshit cowards of a writers, where the last minute gay wasn’t the bread crumb to excuse years of querbating.
*cant believe I've still had hope till that moment*

if there's anyone you haven't answered the list ask for yet, consider this a free space to do so! (otherwise, feel free to use this as a space to share any fun/random character fact you'd like! :D ) @kerra-and-company
Ahh ty @kerra-and-company! I'm actually gonna be SUPER cheeky and write about Timeslip AU for Pépin because I was going to do that at some point anyway and you've given me the perfect excuse too >:3c Some of the things are the same as Plantling Pép so I'm gonna be lazy and not change those, but some are different!
Tumblr media
Full name: Pépin (??? I still haven't decided on one yet BUT it's his mother's maiden name. He ditched his father's surname after getting kicked out)
Best friend: In the 80's it was someone from one of the gay clubs he frequented and his coworker at the cafe! Then in the present it's Alec!
Sexuality: Gay
Favorite color: pink Pink PINK (BUT also lots of other bright happy colours! But mostly pink)
Relationship status: Taken! Eventually he begins a relationship with Tiu, though that takes a long time!
Ideal mate: Someone kind and caring, who let’s Pépin be himself and also helping him when he needs it!
Turn-ons: Oh same as with Plant Pép! There's a LOT that works for Pép!
Favorite food: Anything sugary and strawberries! He also likes Pizza and fast food a lot!
Crushes: Strong men who could easily manhandle him and also give him big cuddles.
Favorite music: LOADS of upbeat bouncy music! Lots of 80's music is perfect for him and he loves stuff like "Uptown Girl" by Billy Joel. He also loves bouncy dance club music when he learns about that! Like Ke$ha's "Die Young" (Which is strangely fitting given what happened and how he ended up timeslipping 😅)
Biggest fear: He doesn’t acknowledge that he’s got any big fears, but he’s afraid no one will ever help him and he deserves his situation. BUT he also doesn’t need help because everything is perfectly fine!!!
Biggest fantasy: A dashing and charming man to sweep him off his feet and treat him well! He also wants to be able to do ballet again!
Bad habits: Pép fidgets a LOT and apologises a lot for stuff that isn't his fault .
Biggest regret: Whenever he does anything wrong.
Best kept secrets: How absolutely miserable and lonely he is, and how upset he was at being kicked out of his home. Also how he was being treated by Nathaniel.
Last thought: “Why is everything so loud and fast and busy in the future??? I just want to go home.”
Worst romantic experience: The reason Pépin timeslips; Nathaniel.
Biggest insecurity: Pép’s really insecure about a lot of things; How he looks, that he's annoying or stupid, his sexuality and his attraction to other men (He was born in the 60/70's and was a young adult in the 80's it was not a great time at all)
Weapon of choice: Doesn't really fit BUT because he was made to do rugby growing up he DOES know how to tackle someone twice his size.
Role Model: His mum! She was so kind and caring and happy, and always took the time to make him feel better. He hopes to be just as kind as she is! After being kicked out by his father he resented her for a long while, but in the end he just misses her, and is really upset when he's in the future he never got to say goodbye propely. (BUT it turns out she's still out there ALSO looking for him! And guess whose good at tracking people down? That's right, Tiu!)

Dear Creator Letter
Under the Cut!
First of all thank you so much for taking on my prompts, I’m looking forward to seeing whatever it is you create for me!
Okay, general DNWs:
Racism, homophobia, misogynistic language, incest or pseudo incest, sexual content outside of what would be canon appropriate, pretty much every kink going, imbalanced power dynamics, soulmates, rape, animal or child abuse, animal death, AUs (coffee shop, no powers, highschool/uni etc), Avengers Endgame-Complaint fics.
Now onto my Do Wants
Found family, angst with a happy ending, casefics, bisexual ladies coming to their bisexuality later in life, bisexual ladies who knew all along, bisexual ladies who chose men over women (a given for this event), AUs that take canon and make it a little different.
My writing on AO3 is a good indication of what I like, and feel free to check out my tumblr for a good idea of my kind of jam.
Fandom Specific (honestly though these are just prompt ideas. If you have something else in mind go for it)
MCU
I’m not a big fan of Endgame, or most of Infinity War, so if you want to go ‘to hell with this, everyone lives’ then I am more than okay with that. If you want Thanos to have been killed shortly after GOTG2 because Nebula tracked him down and stabbed him in the dick until he died from it then I’m also okay with that.
Carol/Maria - I’d love something pre-canon with these two. Their backstory is so interesting, especially when you factor in they were co-parenting and dating under DADT. I’d also love lots of interactions with Monica&Carol and Mar Vell and Carol. if you want to go for a casefic then, since I do love Natasha, Carol vs a Red Room Loyal Black Widow?
Carol/Valkyrie - Anything post-Ragnarok with the Asgardians (all of them, even the dead ones. Canon is dead and we killed it) on Earth, Would love: a lot of Carol interacting with the Revengers and Valkyrie interacting with literally any female characters because the MCU is bad at that.
Sarah/May - So much potential with these two. Blended families! Second loves! Dating while older and with kids!  I know Sambucky is a logical sistership to this pairing but I’m not a fan of that ship.
Dragon Age
Cassandra/Literally Any Of The Female Protagonists - Big fan of ‘Cass should’ve been bi’ so I’d like something exploring this. I’d like something set during DAI (so after the death of her boyfriend) with Cass coming to realisations about her sexuality. However you want to write the Warden/Hawke/Inquisitor is fine but my preference is for Surana, Sarcastic/Aggressive mage!Hawke and mage Adaar. I don’t like Anders so if you ever want to throw in some Anders hate then I’m fine with that.
Josie/Bela - I’d love something post-DAI with Josie taking Bela home to meet her family, or Josie as a member of Bela’s pirate crew (and putting her diplomatic skills to good use)
Marquis of Serault/Well Read Pig Farmer - I just want anything involving my favourite former Tevinter magister.
Fire Emblem
Three Houses - my preference is for the Crimson Flower route, but if you want to go the angst route of Byleth and El are fighting against each other then Golden Deer is my favourite path. I also love AUs where the three Lords (or four, counting Yuri) team up with each other to fight against TWSITD. Other than that I have no preferences for what you want to do with any of the ships.
Blazing Blade - I’d love to see post FE7, pre-FE6 stuff, with Lyn and Florina being involved in their friends’ lives. Lyn teaching Roy swordfighting, Florina teaching Lilina how to ride a Pegasus. Plus, lots of interacting with Farina and Ninian (especially if you want to build on the Ninian and Florina friendship). Or if you want to do what they were up to during FE6 I’d love that too.
Awakening - No preferences here.
Resident Evil
Rebecca/Claire - AU where Rebecca is still in Racoon City and teams up with Claire and Sherry? Vendetta AU where Claire is there too? Chris and Jill are getting married and neither Claire or Becca have dates and go together? I don’t really mind. For RE2 canon I prefer the 1998 storyline (Claire A/Leon B) but if you only know the remake then that’s fine, or if you want to mix canons that’s also fine. For past relationships I love the angst Burnfield gives Claire but Billy and Rebecca I see as completely platonic.
Jill/Ada - Normally I’m a strictly Valenfield and Aeon kind of woman but I have a weakness for this ship. Jill is heavily associated with the colour blue, has blonde or brown hair depending on the game and is completely on the side of justice. What I’m saying is: she’s Ada’s type. I love the idea of Ada being at the police station early and running into Jill while she’s there in RE3. I’m also a fan of Ada trying to save Jill in RE5 when she realises it’s her actions in Spain that led to Jill’s brainwashing.
Ace Attorney
I don’t have any preference just as long as there’s no Franmaya, which is my NOTP or the Bad Cykesquill (Simon/Athena. Not only is the age difference too high, but they have a sibling relationship and Simon is clearly gay). I tend to headcanon Klaiver and Ema used to date but Mia and Godot never did. Background Wrightworth is always a plus.
FMA Manga//Brotherhood
Oliver/Maria - Honestly it’s not hard to see what I like when it comes to this ship because the AO3 tag is 99% written by me. Put Olivier in suspenders and holding a sword and I’m a happy woman.
Rose/Paninya - a woman whose town was destroyed in riots and a woman who has found a love of doing repair work? And they’re both friends with Winry who is more than happy to play matchmaker? The pairing writes itself. I know that the 03 anime gave Rose a dead boyfriend, but the manga never specifies. They’re lesbians, Harold.
Dishonored
Emily/Alexi - Wyman? I don’t know her! I love AUs where Alexi lives and is on the Dreadful Wale during the events of the game. Also a big fan of Jess Lives AUs if you want to have Emily attempting to court her childhood best friend/bodyguard while her amazingly embarrassing parents cheer her on. And I love the AUs where both Corvo and Emily are the co-protagonists (especially marked!Corvo, flesh and steel!Emily). I ignore the canonical age difference between Corvo and Jess and put them both as being in their late teens when they met. Basically anything where Alexi is still alive and not going to die is a good fic. If you want to include Wyman at all my preference is for female Wyman since I see Emily as a lesbian. Either she and Emily are exes on good terms or have always been just friends.
Anyway, I think that’s everything. Thank you again!

hi!!! what are your favourite movies? like actually good ones but also any trashy comfort movies? is IT (2017) one of them?
Hello!! IT (2017) IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THEM oh man, thank you for this, I love talking about movies!!!! This is possibly the most difficult question you could have asked me. Apologies for how absolutely off the rails this got, I just... love movies so much lmao
I’ve said this before, but opening night of IT ch1 was the best cinema experience I’ve ever had, I’m so glad I got to see it with a fully packed audience who were all laughing and screaming together the whole way through. I’m a huge fan of... everything ch1 was doing, the 80s nostalgia, the summer-coming-of-age themes, the solid ghost train funhouse JOY of the Pennywise performance and scares, the washed-out cinematography, the tiny background details to make everything that much more eerie, the kids’ ACTING?!
Like, a lot of the time I find child actors can be really awkward and stilted to watch, but I remember leaving the cinema really impressed by JDG and Sophia Lillis in particular. I liked that they were all allowed to be little shitheads with potty mouths, it felt like a callback to 80s movies like The Lost Boys or Stand By Me. The whole thing worked to make me really care about what happened to the kids (even if I do still have issues with how they handled Mike. I understand even ch1 had limitations with juggling so many characters, but still). I saw it another 2 times in the cinema and have rewatched it at least, I dunno, 7-10 more times since then?
Add to all of that the retroactive CANON R+E baby pining subplot? I just love it, as if that wasn’t obvious by now given my Whole Blog. It’s a really special movie to me!
Anyway!! Ok, the main handful of movies I rewatch all the fucking time are:
Back to the Future, The Lost Boys, Pride and Prejudice (2005), Jaws, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Breakfast Club, Ocean’s 11, POTC 1, The Dark Knight, Inception, Die Hard, LOTR trilogy, Snatch, The Nice Guys, Logan Lucky, Mad Max Fury Road, Clueless, 10 Things I Hate About You, Billy Elliot, Dirty Dancing, Tomb Raider (2018)...
Those are the easily consumable ones that I’ve seen so many times I don’t really have to concentrate or think about them, but I really love them and unfortunately often KEEP rewatching them instead of new stuff. It would take too long to go into why I love all these movies so much because I could write the same amount as I already did for ITCH1, and everyone already knows why those movies are good, so, lol.
I think I’m gonna have to subdivide and categorise this whole post because there are too many separate criteria for... goOD MOVIES, AUUHH 😩
Okay so first off, HORROR MOVIES? I’m especially in love with Re-Animator (1985) and its sequel Bride of Re-Animator, they’re such good examples of camp and batshit 80s practical effects, and also EXTREMELY funny. I’m actually just gonna post my list of my fave horror movies that I do actually keep on my phone at all times lmao. These are in no particular order:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wholeheartedly recommend every one of these. I’ve never been so scared in my life as I was watching Hereditary in the cinema, hoo boy. Mother! by Aronofsky is one of the strangest experiences I’ve ever had (and I actually saw it on the same day I saw IT ch1 for the first time!! That was a fun day)
Psycho (1960) and The Fly from 1986 should also be on there but I couldn’t fit them in the screenshot.
I’m a HUGE fan of a ton of martial arts movies too, like Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer, Ip Man, The Raid movies, John Wick 3 is my fave of the trilogy, Drive from 1997 with Mark Dacascos is incredible, SPL 2, Ong-Bak, Operation Condor, Project A, Iron Monkey, and Zatoichi (2003) are some favourites.
My favourite Tarantino is Reservoir Dogs, fave Coen brothers are Raising Arizona, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and O Brother Where Art Thou. Love some old-timey colour correction and weird offbeat dialogue. I also love Goodfellas!!! And Donnie Brasco! And The Firm, I’m so easy for any good crime/law/gangster/heist procedural like that, especially if they’re from the 80s or 90s in a super dated way.
Fave Disney movie is Tarzan, favourite Ghibli movies are Spirited Away and Lupin III. I remember watching Spirited Away during a thunderstorm one time and it being.... god! Transcendent! Favourite Pixar movie is The Incredibles (the first one. ALSO the documentary “The Pixar Story” is great and well worth a watch, it’s very comforting for some reason) and my favourite Dreamworks movies are HTTYD1 and Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron.
I tend to watch more anime movies than tv shows, so stuff like Akira, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars, Journey to Agartha, and my ultimate fave anime is Sword of the Stranger (2008). The climactic fight in that movie is fucking stunning and should be counted in “bests fights” lists right alongside anything live action
Also if we’re talking animated movies another hearty favourite is Rango, and a Belgian stop-motion (which at one time I considered my favourite movie ever) called Panique Au Village (2009) which is one of the funniest movies ever made imo.
As for TRASHY movies, I’m not sure if that’s the right word for how I feel about these ones but.. dumb/silly/slightly guilty pleasure movies? Ones that I feel need some kind of justification lmfao
Troy - something u must know about me is that I’m a giant slut for the Assassin’s Creed franchise, so if a movie smashes historical and mythological nonsense together with fun costumes and sword fights, I’m gonna enjoy myself. Even if they should have made Achilles and Patroclus gay. Other movies in this vein are King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, and Immortals (2011)
Gods of Egypt - I know all the reasons this movie is whitewashed bullshit. But it was already bullshit with giant Anubis mecha and giant snakes and bad acting and ridiculous CGI and frankly I had a blast at the cinema (my friend who I forced to come with me did not have a blast. Sorry H***)
Avatar - yes, the one with the big blue people. This movie gets a lot of flack nowadays but I really do enjoy it just for the spectacle. The full CGI world technology was so new at the time and I love to wallow in the visuals and daydream about riding a cool dragon around in the jungle
George of the Jungle - I’ll defend this movie to the death ok this movie shaped me as a person, it is fucking hilarious and Brendan Fraser is the himbo to end all himbos. It’s perfect. The song Dela is perfect. I still want to write a reddie AU about it. It’s one of the best movies ever made and I’m not being ironic
Set It Up - I KNOW this is a dumb Netflix original romcom but consider this; it was funny and the leads had great chemistry. I got butterflies. I once watched it and then literally immediately set it back to the start so I could watch it again
The Brady Bunch Movie - when people talk about great satires or parodies you will see them bring up the same movies over and over again, Blazing Saddles, This Is Spinal Tap etc, but they never talk about The Brady Bunch Movie from 1995 for some reason, which they should. It is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen and every time i watch it somehow it gets funnier
Some more general favourites that I do still love but don’t rewatch as often, and don’t wanna go into more detail about are:
Moon (2009), Crna Mačka Beli Mačor, The Sixth Sense, Parasite, The Handmaiden, Tremors, Wet Hot American Summer, Tucker and Dale vs Evil, What We Do In The Shadows, Hunt For the Wilderpeople, The Secret of My Success (I love kitschy 80s movies, is that obvious by now), The Green Mile, When Harry Met Sally, Rear Window, The Odd Couple, Breaking Away, Pan’s Labyrinth, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Eagle, Gladiator, The Artist, The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec, Call Me By Your Name, Master and Commander, Pacific Rim, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Legend (1985), Emma. (2020), Flash Gordon, Trolljegeren, Hross í Oss, Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America, WarGames, District 9, Ajeossi (2010), Tracks (2013), Sightseers, Mud (2012), Pitch Black, Four Lions, Shaun of the Dead, Starship Troopers, The Truman Show, Withnail & I....... Jesus Christ ok I need to stop
NOTABLE EXTREME FAVOURITES that I didn’t include in the regular rewatch list because they’re too heavy/not as well known/require more attention.:
Thin Red Line (1998), Badlands (1973) both dir. Terrence Malick
Malick’s brand of dreamy impressionistic filmmaking is something I find really appealing, both of these movies are gorgeous and unusual and poignant and, in the case of Thin Red Line at least, have a lot of things to say about a lot of rough subjects. I don’t totally understand all those things sometimes, but a theme with a lot of my favourite movies is that I’ll be more likely to love something long-term if it raises unanswered questions, or is surreal/esoteric etc. Plus the cinematography is incredible, and I wish there was a way to get Jim Caviezel’s narration from The Thin Red Line as an audiobook because it’s very poetic and soothing.
Let the Bullets Fly (2010) dir. Jiang Wen
This movie is WILD, it’s so much fun. It’s sprawling and intricate and epic and smart and really fucking funny, it! Has! Everything! A gang of very tolerant outlaws!! Jiang Wen’s beautiful broad chest!!! Chow Yun Fat absolutely DECIMATING the scenery, and the two of them outsmarting each other in order to gain control of a small Chinese town!!! Plus it’s long, but it packs so much nonsense and intrigue that it goes by really fast. Wow what a flick
A Field in England (2013) dir. Ben Wheatley
I know I included this in my horror list but aaaaahhh ahhhh Wheatley is one of my favourite directors (he also made Sightseers, and is directing the Tomb Raider sequel which makes me absolutely rabid.) This is a surreal black-and-white psychological horror black comedy set in the English Civil War about some deserters who may or may not meet the Devil in a field. People eat mushrooms. It’s bonkers. I love being blasted in the face with imagery that I don’t understand
Mandy (2018) dir. Panos Cosmatos
Speaking of being blasted in the face!!!!! This movie... I saw it in the cinema and I can’t even begin to explain the experience, but I’ll try. My favourite review site described it like this:
“...somewhere between a prog album cover come to life and a metal album cover come to life, and subscribes to both genre's artistic tendency towards maximalism: what it ends up being is basically naught else but two glorious hours of being pounded by bold colors...”
So, prog and metal are my two favourite genres of music. This movie opens with the quote “When I die, bury me deep, lay two speakers at my feet, put some headphones on my head and rock and roll me when I'm dead.” and then a King Crimson song, it is SURREAL to the nth degree, it’s violent and bizarre and Nic Cage forges a giant silver axe to destroy demonic bikers and there is a CHAINSAW DUEL. A galaxy swirls above a quarry. Multiple animated horror nightmare sequences. At one point a man says “you exude a cosmic darkness” and releases a live tiger. At another point Cage says, in a digitally deepened voice, “The psychotic drowns where the mystic swims. You’re drowning. I’m swimming.” and I haven’t stopped thinking about it for two years
Paper Moon (1973) dir. Peter Bogdanovich
Really fantastic movie set in the Great Depression (and also in black & white) about a conman and a little kid who may or may not be his daughter, running cons across the Midwest. It’s beautifully shot, so sharp and sweet and the progression of their dynamic is really well done because they’re played by an IRL father and daughter. Tatum O’Neal was NINE YEARS OLD and she’s so amazing in this movie she’s actually the youngest person to win a competitive category Oscar. I keep trying to get people to watch this fbdjfjdbf it’s wonderful
Alpha (2018) dir. Albert Hughes
THIS MOVIE IS A VICTIM OF BAD MARKETING ok, the trailers made it look like some twee crappy sentimental Boy And His Dog Adventure, plus it had voiceovers in American-accented english? That’s a total disservice to one of the coolest things about this film; the fact that they got a linguist to construct an entirely original Neolithic language that all the characters speak for the entire runtime. And yes, it is eventually a Boy And His Wolf adventure, but it’s COOL and fairly brutal, and it has some really incredible cinematography. The landscapes are so strange and barren and alien, you really get the sense that this is an ancient world we no longer have any connection to. And it’s also about like, the birth of dog & human companionship sooo it’s perfect.
Free Solo (2018) dir. Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, Jimmy Chin
The Free Climbing Documentary. I loved climbing as a kid, I love outdoor sports, and I love movies that elicit a physical reaction in me, whether that’s horny, scared, real laughter, overwhelming shivers, or in the case of Free Solo - HORRIBLE SWEATING TENSION. Like, I knew about Alex Honnold beforehand because of this adventure film festival I go to every year and I followed him on IG so obviously I knew he lived, but the actual climb itself was torture. My hands sweat every time I see it!! It’s incredible, such a cool look into generally what the human body can do, and more specifically, why Honnold’s psychology and life means he’s so well suited to free soloing. It’s such an exercise in getting to know an individual and get invested in them, before they attempt something very potentially fatal.
Brokeback Mountain (2005) dir. Ang Lee
I can’t even talk about this. When I was around 13 I snuck downstairs to watch this on TV at 11pm in secret, and my life was forever changed. I wouldn’t be who I am if I hadn’t seen Brokeback at the age I did. I seriously can’t talk about this or I’ll write an even longer essay than this already is
God’s Own Country (2017) dir. Francis Lee
The antidote to Brokeback Mountain, I’m so glad I managed to see this one in the cinema too. It makes me cry every time, as someone who’s spent years working on a cold British farm with sheep it was very realistic, which is expected since Lee grew up on a farm in Yorkshire. I love that this movie isn’t really about being closeted, but about being so emotionally repressed and self-loathing that the main character finds it so hard to accept love. Or that he deserves to be loved. The cinnamontographies.... lordt... but also the intimacy and sex scenes are fucking searing wow who hasn’t seen this movie by now. 10 stars. 20 stars!!!
Tomboy (2011) dir. Céline Sciamma
I saw this years ago but I’ve never forgotten it, it cut so deep. It’s from the director of Portrait of a Lady on Fire and it’s about a gnc kid struggling with gender and misogyny and homophobia in a really raw, scrappy way, it reminded me very much of my own... childhood... ahh the central performance is amazing for such a young age. I haven’t seen Portrait yet but I feel like if you went nuts for that, you should definitely check this out, it’s lovely.
Donnie Darko (2001) dir. Richard Kelly
EVERY TIME I WATCH THIS MOVIE I UNDERSTAND LESS AND LESS and that’s what I love so much about it. I love surreal movies, I love time-fuckery and stuff about altered perception etc etc and Donnie Darko scratches all my itches. I wish I could find a way to figure out an IT AU for it, because I know it would work! Somehow! Plus it’s got the subdued 80s nostalgia and I found it at an age when I was really starting to explore movies and music and the soundtrack FUCKS.
Offside (2006) dir. Jafar Panahi
I wish more people knew about this!!! It’s an Iranian film about a disparate group of women and girls who are football fans and want to watch Iran’s qualifying match for the World Cup, but women aren’t allowed into the stadium, so they all get thrown into the Stadium Jail together? They don’t know each other beforehand, but it’s about their changing relationships with each other and the guards and just, their defiance alongside hearing the match from the outside and WOW it’s so lively. Great dialogue and very funny, and such a different kind of story from anything you usually see from Hollywood.
The Fall (2006) dir. Tarsem Singh
This movie... I guess it’s the ideal. This is the platonic ideal of a film for me, it has fantasy, magical realism, glorious visuals, amazing score and costumes and production design and a really interesting, heartbreaking relationship at the core of it. I don’t know why so many of my favourite films feature incredibly raw performances by child actors but this is another one, Catinca Untaru barely knew any English and improvised so much because of that, and it’s fascinating to watch! Also the dynamic with Lee Pace is one of my favourites, where a kid forms a friendship with a guardian figure who isn’t their parent, but the guardian grows to really care for them by the end. It’s like Paper Moon in that sense. What is there to even say about this movie, it’s pure magic joy tempered and countered by genuine gutwrenching emotional conflict in the real world, it’s also ABOUT old moviemaking, in a way, and it’s stunning to look at!
Mad Max Fury Road (2015) dir. George Miller
I know I included this in my “most rewatched” section but it deserves its own thing. We all know why this movie is fucking incredible. I remember clutching my armrests in the cinema and feeling like my skeleton was being blasted back into the seat behind me and tbh that is the high I’m constantly chasing when I go to see any movie. What a fucking gift this film is
Théo et Hugo dans le Même Bateau (2016) dir. Olivier Ducastel, Jacques Martineau
I only found this movie last year and it became an instant favourite. Initially I was just curious because I’d never seen a movie with unsimulated sex before, but it’s so much more than the 18 minute gay sex club orgy it opens with. No, not more than, AS WELL AS. The orgy is important because this movie is so candid and frank about sex and HIV treatment in the modern day, it was eye-opening. Another thing that really got me is that I’d never seen a real-time film before. It’s literally an hour and a half in the lives of these two men, their intense connection and conversation and conflict in the middle of the night in Paris, with some really nice night photography and just!!! Wow!!! AMAZING CHEMISTRY between the actors. This is such a gem if you’re comfortable with explicit sexual content.
Ok. This is already over 3k but film is obviously one of my ridiculous passions and I can and do talk about it for hours. I’ve been reading magazines about it for years, listening to podcasts and reading review blogs and recently, watching video essays on YouTube because the whole process is so interesting to me and I want to learn more!!
Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of valuing form over narrative. The idea that story can often come second to the deeper physical experience and emotional reaction that’s created by using ALL the elements of filmmaking and not just The Story, y’know? Whether that’s editing, shot composition, colour, the sound mix, the actors, how it should all be used to heighten the emotional state the script wants you to feel. And so, I think for a few years now this approach has been influencing the types of films I really, really love.
I think I love surreality and mind-bending magical realism in films specifically because the filmmakers have to use all those different tools to convey things that can be way too metaphysical for just... a script? I’m always chasing that physical response; if a movie can make me stop thinking “I wonder what it was like to set up that shot” and instead overwhelm that suspension of disbelief, if I can be terrified or woozy or crying for whatever reason, that’s what I’m looking for. That’s why I watch so many fuckin movies, and why I’ll always remember nights like seeing IT (2017) for giving me another favourite.
Thank you again for this question, I didn’t mean to go so overboard. Also there’s no way to do a readmore on tumblr mobile so apologies to anyone’s dashboard 😬

Part I is here
Serial Killer AU Part II
“If you could kill anyone, who would it be?” Steve asked casually, passing back the shared cigarette, smoke filling the air between them like barely there fog. Billy was laying down, plaid sheets bunched around his middle, looking up at a popcorn ceiling, shaggy brunette hair and dangerously calm amber eyes. Billy took what was left of the cigarette and inhaled slowly, but he didn’t have to think of an answer. He knew. Had known for years, if given the chance, who he would kill without a second thought. Had spent nights thinking about it over and over again.
“My dad.”
Those dangerous eyes twinkled in the dark, the only light coming from a lamp sitting on the nightstand, casting the room in a too bright orange glow. A smirk started to grow on Steve’s face, half hidden by shadows, the wheels starting to turn. He shifted, sank more under the sheets from his sitting position up against the headboard until he was on his side, propped up by an elbow, reached across the small space and thumbed Billy’s jaw tenderly like a lover would. It was little touches that pulled Billy more under his spell, little soft words here and there. Affirmations he was doing something good for the first time in his life.
He was good. After all this time.
“I think that sounds like a fun date night, don’t you?” Steve’s hand crept up to hold Billy’s cheek, cupping it softly, brushing his fingers over the bone underneath, tracing his skull like that’s all Steve could see. Was all he was interested in. “And you were so helpful with my little Hagan problem, I think you deserve it.” 
Tommy had been three days ago. Billy drove. That’s what he did now. Drove Steve around wherever he wanted to go. Helped whenever he needed it. Mostly loading and unloading. Holding people down. Being the muscle. Keeping people quiet. Making sure their eyes were open. Steve liked that. Liked people watching him work. Liked to see the will to fight turn limp and tearful upon realisation.
Tommy never locked his door. Never had apparently. Steve had been in his house many times. Knew exactly where to find him, knew his mom was working out of town for a week after a little reconnaissance. Steve was still the town’s darling after all. Tommy put up more of a fight than most. Almost got away if Billy didn’t stop him at the door. Because he did that now too. Kept watch. Kept watch for cops and onlookers. Nosey neighbours. Made sure no one got away. No possible loose ends that would need to be tied up.
He'd looked up at Billy so betrayed.
Steve stabbed Tommy fourteen times in the kitchen of the Hagan house. One for every year they had been friends. The last one was in the heart, so powerful Billy heard a rib crack from the other side of the room.
Disobeying the King had broken Steve’s heart. So he had to break Tommy's in return.
Blood was everywhere. Steve was covered in it as he panted over Tommy’s body, choking and gurgling on the last few moments of life. Looking up at them both helplessly, like maybe this was just a nightmare and he'd wake up soon. Steve waited until all was silent, got to his feet and set the knife on the kitchen table, regained his composure and swept his hair back with a bloody hand and a deep sigh. During the act he looked manic. Possessed by pure evil. Eyes wild and crazy. Unblinking. Not missing a single moment of his own handiwork.
“I don’t want Mrs Hagan to find this, she was always nice to me," he said calmly, eyes never leaving Tommy’s body. It was an order without the words.
Clean this up.
So Billy did, without question. Grabbed rubber marigolds and bleach from under the sink and scrubbed and scrubbed until the kitchen was sparkling again. Tommy was rolled up into a bedsheet and dumped like old luggage in the trunk of the BMW. Billy drove them out to the outskirts of town when it was nearly dawn, a little side road Steve had picked out especially. He liked to display. What he was doing was art at the most carnal level.
"We used to come here when he was wanting to experiment," he explained calmly, like he wasn't propping up the body of his former friend against a rock for a hiker to stumble across on their morning trail. "Wasn't gay if it was out of town. It's not gay if you don't take it Stevie."
Billy had just smoked. Kept the engine running for the headlights and watched. He could have ended everything right there. Crushed the maniac under the wheels and ran. Someone would surely believe his story. He was innocent. But he didn't. He just stood and smoked. Waited. 
Internally, he'd been trying to convince himself this was all for self preservation. Billy knew he was on Steve's imaginary list. He had to have been. Everyone else had been picked off and there wasn't a single hope he wasn't next. But Steve never said a word about it. Never gave off a look or an attitude that he was even contemplating it. He gave Billy smiles and compliments, reassurances that everything was okay, Billy was good at this, that he needed Billy's help, couldn’t do it without him. And something deep deep down clung to those kind, blood soaked words. 
Billy had never been told he was good before. Always a bad kid, a troublemaker, only fit for a chain gang. Even in elementary school. Good grades but a poor attitude. Constantly in the way of everyone's good time, fit for nothing. So many times he'd heard his father's rage towards him, both in front of and behind his back. Cruel words snarled like Billy was nothing but an old dog that just wouldn't die. Didn’t fit in with the new family. A ghost from the past.
Steve told him he was good. Almost constantly. And he’d never really liked Tommy that much anyway.
With how those dark eyes glittered in the dark of Steve's room, looking directly into Billy's very soul, calling to him like a siren in the middle of a storm, a date night sounded like a great idea.
***
Max and Susan were away for the weekend. Billy remembered it being on the family calendar pinned to the wall by the door the last time he was home. The day of Nancy. Written in bold black ink and circled three times. They were visiting some aunt or cousin or whatever. Billy hadn't really been paying attention to the conversation other than when the phrase 'boy's weekend' innocently left Susan's lips and Billy's very core turned the ice at the thought of there being absolutely no barrier between him and his father’s rage for three whole days.
A lot had changed since then.
For as much as Billy detested his father, he knew his routine. An ex military man. Always kept impeccable timing. It had gotten Billy in trouble more than once. Being a minute late for curfew and having to spend the night freezing in his car, shivering under a leather jacket and not much else.
He could feel Steve practically vibrating with excitement in the passenger seat as Billy cut the engine pulling up to Cherry Lane. He squeezed Billy's thigh firm but tender. Reassuring but serious.
Don’t back out now.
"You ready for this stud?"
Billy could only nod looking up at the house and what he knew what inside. It was late and a Saturday night. Neil would be passed out on the couch in front of whatever movie was on tv, half drunk on warm beer if Billy wasn’t there to be the punching bag.
He wasn't scared. Wasn't really thinking about the consequences of all of this. This was revenge now. Payback. For years of abuse both mental and physical. For being beaten down and made to feel lower than dirt. For every foul word and sharp backhand. For every dinnerless evening and night alone willing himself not to sob into a pillow because boys don't cry William. For being made and twisted into a creature that was now beyond human, beyond all control, but Steve understood.
They shared the same soul, the same creature. It rattled around them deep inside. Jerked and pulled and warped and swelled and became unstoppable. Billy just needed someone to unlock the cage. Steve had the key that fit perfectly.
Billy squeezed Steve's hand before they left the car. Billy still had keys even though he hadn't been home in close to a month. No one came looking for him. He didn't expect them to. He very well could have been dead in a ditch the way the body count was growing and the cops were being incompetent. But it all just added fuel to the fire.
The entire time Steve's grin was delicious. That same manic look back in his eyes that was always there when they did this. Like a shark when there was blood in the water. It made Billy’s heart flutter. For this one they swapped places. Managed to get the surprise swoop and have Neil pinned with a hand over his mouth before he could properly register what was happening. Before he could spit one last drop of venom in Billy's direction.
Steve had given him back his switchblade. A present for being so loyal and helpful. A sign of trust that it would never be used on himself. Billy twisted it into his father's neck with no remorse. Buried the blade so deep it hit bone. The gush and waterfall of blood was warm on them both. Billy stepped back from it to watch realisation and anger and then abject hopelessness wash through steely eyes that had been nothing but cruel his whole life. Steve laughed. Cackled towards the ceiling, biting his lip like a schoolgirl. Made sure to get blood on his hands like he was washing them under a wild spring. Billy felt some drip off his cheek, stain his shirt as he just panted, heart hammering in his chest and thrumming through his bones as Neil was let go to twitch and die on the carpet. Finally gone.
Steve took Billy's head in his hands gently, cupping his jaw and thumbing up to his cheeks. Everything was slick and warm. Spreading blood everywhere that had been clean. Marking his teritory.
"Oh baby, I just wanna look at you, I'm so proud of you!" Steve spoke comfortingly. Like a mother would after their kid won a third grade spelling bee. His eyes sparkled like diamonds. He was genuinely proud of what Billy had done. And that made Billy warm inside. Emotions mixed and twisted as it sunk in what Billy had done. He was crying a few solitary tears before he knew it, but they were gently brushed away by caressing thumbs.
"Hey, hey its okay, he’s gone now" Steve cooed. "The first is always the hardest. Especially if it's family." 
That had been Steve's first. His own father. He'd confessed one night in bed, both of them sweaty and hard. Like talking about this kind of thing was a turn on. It certainly was for Steve. Made him hard as a rock. He muttered his sins into the back of Billy's neck as he fucked into his protege so vigorously the headboard slammed off the wall and threatened to snap. Scraping his teeth over tanned skin as he let memories fly. About how he'd poisoned his father and just watched him convulce on the hallway floor. Just watched as the man begged for help but received nothing but the cold eyes of his own sixteen year old son.
He always came hard to that story, knuckles white, fingers digging into Billy’s hips and leaving bruises for days.
Billy tucked his head into Steve's neck, wrapped his arms around the thinner waist and let himself be held in return. Let himself be kissed. Let himself taste copper pennies and iron and smoke and spearmint gum from an hour before. And excitement. Let himself be pushed up against the wall of the hallway he'd walked through countless times and feel his partner hard against his hip. Let thighs slot together and bodies start rutting. Both running on adrenaline and excitement as a slain monster lay defeated on the floor. No longer part of the story. Groans being eaten. Hair being pulled. Bodies running tighter and tighter until the inevitable conclusion and cum soaked denim aftermath.
Steve panted warm against Billy’s temple, lips stained and swollen. Before this would have never been allowed. Never ever. Now Billy was free. Unchained. Knew deep in his heart and his head he would follow Steve to the ends of the earth as thanks for this wonderful gift. Words would never be able to describe how grateful he was. 
It was the best day of his life.
