For the Unusual Fic-Specific Ask: perspective flip on You Gotta Get a Reaction please and thank you!!

Yes I received this ask fully last month. My apologies, I am slow. This one is for the Unusual Fic Asks for Authors prompt meme thing! Please enjoy.

*

Fuckin' Priest. They rip like hell, way louder and crazier than their records, and in the aftermath of the show, his whole body is buzzing. He’s bouncing on the balls of his feet, his ears are ringing, and he’s got Steve fuckin’ Harrington beside him, sweaty and lit up and out of breath from the mosh pit, which. Okay. He’s wanted to climb Steve like a majestic oak tree for longer than he’d like to admit, he’s seen him look good before— how high up the rankings is ‘shirtless and spitting demobat blood’? He pleads the fifth— but it’s a really good look for him.

It’s a risk laying hands on him at all in public, but he’s gotta. He pushes their luck as far as a fraternal arm around his shoulders, feeling his own vest (Steve’s wearing his vest) bunching under his arm as he guides them through the equally sweaty crowd. God, it’s good to touch him. It’s good to feel just a little taste of what it might be like, how he might stake his claim, if Steve really was his.

He lets Steve go long enough to go to the bathroom. While he’s gone he digs some of his take from earlier out of his sock and splurges on merch, getting two shirts for himself and one for Steve, maybe a size smaller than it needs to be, and some pins, and a new patch. Sue him, he’s having a good day.

Steve finds him again, latching onto his shoulder, and doesn’t let go the whole way back to the van. Every single person in the arena drove here today, it would seem; it takes twenty entire minutes to back out of the parking space, and then they're stuck in evil crawling traffic, with every bastard asshole in the parking lot laying on their horn every other breath. Not him, for once. He's in his van with Steve, whose big hopeful eyes have been boring into the side of his head pretty much since he stuck his take in Steve's skivvies half a day ago.

Steve, who's wearing his clothes. Steve, who came out to a show for a band he basically just tolerates because Eddie wanted to go. Steve who kissed him, who kissed him first, who whined so prettily to be touched Eddie wanted to roll him onto his belly and fuck his brains out right there with the door open before that first kiss was even over, is by his side, and he's in no real hurry to go anywhere at all.

Steve (see above) huffs a sigh, and puts his big warm hand on Eddie's thigh. Even painted red in brake lights, he's a goddamn picture, hair somehow still majestic through sweat and humid summer heat. Only long years of repression hold Eddie back from clambering over the gearbox to get at him— yeah, yeah, no hurry to get anywhere, but he meant no hurry to get away from Steve, yes hurry to get away from huge crowds of strangers who might make Steve think twice about letting another guy feel him up.

He probably should let Steve think twice. Maybe three times. Eddie barely ever thinks once, and it has, historically, not gone well. Steve's hand, daringly high up his leg, squeezes him gently.

"Harrington," he says, "you're trouble."

here is the last one!! thank you so much to everyone who has read these it’s been a delight but also i am NEVER posting a fic like this again lmao (this one can be read alone btw!)

Winter 2007

Steve wakes from fitful dreams to an empty bed and briefly panics. Even after twenty years, he’s still haunted by memories of the Upside Down. He still gets worried when he wakes up and can’t see Eddie. 

He pushes back the covers and gets out of bed, feet hitting the cold hardwood floors. He tugs a robe on to combat the cold and then opens the bedroom door. As soon as it’s open, he hears Eddie’s voice singing quietly and he relaxes. Steve pads softly down the hall to the living room. It’s dark, but he can see Eddie by the window, silhouetted by the streetlights. He’s rocking their daughter in his arms.

Steve leans against the entryway and listens to his husband sing in his soft, husky voice. “There’s a place I like to hide, a doorway that I run through in the night. Relax, child, you were there but only didn’t realize and you were scared. It’s a place where you will learn to face your fears, retrace the years, and ride the whims of your mind.”

The floorboard creaks under Steve’s foot as he shifts his weight, and Eddie stops singing. 

“Hey,” he whispers, looking back at Steve. Steve pushes off the wall and moves over to the window to join him, putting one hand at Eddie’s waist and the other on his arm by their daughter’s head. 

“How is she?” Steve asks quietly.

“She’s good,” Eddie murmurs. “She was crying, but she’s her father’s daughter so she went right to sleep when I started singing Queensrÿche.”

“What a good girl.”

Smiling, Eddie turns his head to kiss Steve. “Go back to sleep, baby,” he says, “I’ll be there in a minute.”

“Take your time,” Steve says. He bends over to press a kiss featherlight to their daughter’s forehead, then kisses Eddie once more before heading back to their bedroom. 

Before he closes the door, he takes one more look at Eddie. He’s started softly singing another song. Steve takes in the sight—his husband and his daughter. There are still nights when he wakes up screaming from nightmares, nights where he’s not sure if he’ll ever see the sun again. But nights like this when he gets to watch his little family that he’s always wanted and didn’t know if he would ever have, he feels so happy he could burst. 

On nights like this, life is beautiful.

your movie - tag game!

Rules: no cheating! You're starring in a movie with the last person you saved in your camera roll. The last song you've listened to is the title. Who/what is it?

double tagged by @patchworkgargoyle and @helixferrano !!

ah yes, my latest keery addition to my lock screen shuffle - the gender envy is immeasurable

so this song is really dark! it would definitely be a horror movie. keery could absolutely pull it off and i'd looooove to be his co-star for something like this

most of my pictures in my gallery are memes and selfies and pictures of my best friend's stink face when they were getting their neck tattooed earlier.

rules — shuffle your “on repeat playlist” and list the first ten songs, then tag ten people

I was tagged by @cupc8keblonde and I mostly listen to albums more than playlists, except for writing playlists, so these are from shuffling my steddie vibes playlist.

Sorry I always ignore the tagging part of these. But don't wait for a tag, if you wanna play you should do it!

[theladycarpathia]

Oh my goodness your soulmate tale...Please tell me there will be more? *begs* please say this isn't the end of it? This was amazing and so incredibly sweet and touching...And so perfect for them too!

Thank you! This was the first prompt I wrote for Hellcheer week and it all came out so easily. It's definitely one of my favourites.

I'm answering this via your ask rather than the post itself as there's been interest in a few of the Harringrove/Hellcheer week prompts becoming full fics.

Basically, yes, I have started outlining a good few of these prompts into fics. I was already thinking of it and you guys were all so lovely with the support for these prompts, that it kind of sealed it.

I'm gonna tag a few people here, as they all commented/reblogged with interest in reading more so if people can just lmk if they want to be tagged when the actual fics are available?

I’m that anon from the other day that was super new to the Larry fandom and appreciated your in-depth posts. Hi! I was wondering if there was any discussion about when/why Harry had his “Things I can” tattoo covered by an eagle? From what I’d read the original seemed to have meaning, so why would he cover it? I’ve read quite a bit about their tattoos and haven’t seen any mention of this. Thanks for your thoughts!

The eagle tattoo was first noticed on 30 December 2015. Harry was at a party in Anguilla.

It turned out that he was with Kendall Jenner.

On New Year’s Day, the infamous yacht photos came out. Paparazzi took photos of Harry with Kendall. Harry’s mother Anne was there. So was Jeff’s little brother Cameron Azoff (all in the family).

Harry was papped signing what most likely was the contract for Full Stop Management.

Kendall, Portia di Rossi, Ellen Degeneres, Jeff, Glenne, and Harry are in the photo (rich cringy people love each other).

In addition, four songs were registered to ASCAP, co-written by Harry, Johnny McDaid and Gary Go (of Snow Patrol), with Harry posted as solo singer.

Since an eagle is a symbol of freedom, I’d say the eagle stands for the launch of Harry’s solo career.

The yacht was staged to promote Harry and Jeff Azoff’s Full Stop Management. It was to show that Jeff had a big client.

The tattoo covered up a part of this serenity prayer, “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

The other interesting thing is that the tattoo remains the only one on Harry’s right arm. “Things I Can’t” was covered by the Bible tattoo, and “I can’t change” by the anchor. Harry has gotten tattoos after the eagle, but always on the “Things I Can’t” side. The right arm stays empty.

cupc8keblonde replied to your post “fauvistfly replied to your post: fauvistfly replied to your photo...”

Steve is a showgirl! Steve giving a DARE talk while Bucky the teacher lounges in the back!! ALL OF THESE

i know! Steve talking at a professional conference and it looks like Bucky is the least engaged in the group but he has the most insightful questions

(which is basically the original fic plot I realize as I finish typing)

WIP Title Game

@cupc8keblonde asked about the Top Gun WIP

So this was a fic that I did a lot of research for. Like I read books about the real TOPGUN school and books from roughly the time period about life on naval carriers and a book of interviews with gay men in the navy before DADT was passed. But then I started writing Sleight of Hand instead, and never wrote it. Not one actual word of fic, just plot notes.

The idea was going to be that Ice and Mav fucked on the carrier, basically right at the end of the movie. And then had a thing together while they were both at TOPGUN. And Mav falls for him, but thinks it's just fucking for Ice. So he leaves TOPGUN and takes a combat posting. A couple years later they're on a mission together, and Ice is pissed Mav left him and Mav is trying not to get entangled but they start up again. And it's all very secret and lots of pining while fucking and that stuff I like. The whole thing was going to be them not letting go of each other over the years, and the time they manage to steal together and the way they keep coming back to each other. And tie in the way Ice protects him from the second movie and the fact he gets married but is still in love with Mav etc. I hadn't really figured out the ending, but here are a couple of the note cards that were more fleshed out.

I love you

I love you, too! <3

cupc8keblonde said: i love all of this

I was writing something yesterday and thought of you.  You probably have ZERO recollection of this, but you once asked me for a fic, and I may have accidentally came close to stucky-ing it - and by that I mean it’s really close to being done.

ofc this is like 2k and the one I was writing based on your prompt got up to like 7k but

still.

(I say once as in 2012, so like... literal ages ago. empires have fallen in the amount of time it’s been)
