It Might Be Worth It For Once

Explicit | Steddie AU | pornstar!steve | Different First Meeting | 5.1k

for @judasofsuburbia

Finally, I am pleased to reveal this gift for my wonderful friend Emily!

I know the holiday season is over, but who doesn't love a good NYE fic!

I don't always write smut, but I was so excited to dig into this story for you, Em!!!! This was such a fun fic to write and has so many more feelings that I was expecting for it to have, and not nearly as much smut as one might expect from a pornstar!Steve AU. But alas, here is the product of our one-off conversation spurred by this wonderful fanart!

The skinwalker mod is unnecessarily funny

I was cornered by the Bracken, and it was staring at me, not moving, until it said "Fucking skill issue" and walked away.

wheres the essay u coward

@veshialles @margaritalaux-antille since u both asked as well :3c

so, a big part of why the mage origin will always be my favourite is because of how creepy kinloch hold is, and the fact that it’s the only opportunity you get (excluding witch hunt) to explore the lowest recesses of the tower, which is imo the creepiest part of it.

i think a big part of this creepy factor is the way that the tower is kind of deceptive. on the surface level, yeah, it’s bad — there are no windows until you get to the very top, it’s quite cramped, you get this feeling of being packed in like cattle — but that’s not really the worst of it. you have a huge library spanning two floors! you are surrounded by people who seem friendly! (mages. this refers to mages.)

but then you look a little closer and see the piles of dirt in the corner, the squalor the mages live in (because the dorms that the apprentices in particular stay in are disgusting). the way that the harrowed enchanters’ quarters do not afford you any privacy. you have ,, maybe a wall to separate yourself from the open door (iirc some rooms where mages sleep don’t even have doors) and your roommates. it’s this absence of privacy, or perhaps denial is a better word, that makes you start to realise that oh. okay. these people aren’t treated or even seen as people, are they.

then this factors in with the location of the tower. the conditions are bad. you have essentially the magic police leering over you at all times. you aren’t allowed outside unless you have unique privileges and exceptions (fresh air is a privilege. a privilege.) and the only windows are so high up that to attempt to climb or jump from them is suicide. and then there is the fact that you’re on the middle of the lake and the only way back is a boat (which is always on the other side. you are not taught how to swim), and the boat is guarded by a templar — the ones who are always looking for an excuse to put you down like the animals they think you are. and it dawns on you how utterly cut off and isolated you are. and that’s still not the worst of it.

enter the lower levels, specifically the roundabout back way you have to take to get to the repository. there are discarded garments rotting away in cells and i’m pretty sure one cell has a bloodstain on the floor or the wall, if memory serves. there are sectioned-off rooms full of deepstalkers that look alarmingly like makeshift laboratories. which makes you wonder what the hell they’re getting up to down there. this is where your eyes get ripped open if you weren’t already freaked out and you realise that there is something very, very wrong with the tower.

then there’s the matter of the veil, which is so thin that it’s easily ripped open, subjecting the mages within to these horrific transformations. it makes you wonder if it was deliberate, if it was set up this way in the hopes that the veil would be torn so there would be an excuse to kill all the mages. greagoir, for one, seemed all too keen to put them down during the broken circle quest. this is kind of partnered with the way that less skilled mages seem to be manipulated from the sidelines (i.e. jowan) into resorting to blood magic so that they can be removed rather than trained. one less mage, as it were.

on the surface, it seems a little ick at worst, and generally not at all terrible given that irving seems to care about amell/surana at least. but then you take all of this into consideration and you realise it’s very dog-eat-dog, because when you grow accustomed to existing in a space where your so-called “protectors” are also your jailers who are always waiting for an opportunity to get rid of you, what creeping dread you may have felt beforehand begins to morph into horror.

Youngest members on the crew! Wow I hope they're ot devastatingly similar! | Hecate belongs to @leaf-is-lamee

[ ID: A drawing of Hecate and Oskar at the end of a dance, with Hecate bowing and Oskar reaching upward. Hecate is on the left, bowing with her legs crossed and one hand up in the air with the other held in front of her, holding a sickle. She's looking up and to the side at Oskar with a neutral expression. She's wearing a large dark cape, a shirt, a sash of feathers, pants, boots with feathers, shin and forearm guards, and fingerless gloves. She has a knife strapped to her thigh. She has long wings for ears and her hair is curly, loose on top and braided on the sides. Oskar is on the right, stretching up with one arm held high in the air and the other down at his side, and his legs crossed similarly to Hecate's. He's wearing a mask with a crescent moon on it which hides his entire face. He's wearing a dark long sleeved shirt, a dark long necked undershirt, a leather vest, a sash tied around his waist, dark pants, a pair of boots, and a pair of gloves. His hair is nearly floor-length, curly, and in a long braid. End ID ]

Steddie first kiss fic || 2.9k

One thing remained hard, and it was getting harder with each phone call, each letter, and each day that passed Steve by, leaving a permanent indent in his chest. An Eddie-shaped hole in his heart. Because, no matter how much or how hard or how fast or how slow Steve was falling in love with him, he still wasn’t there. He wasn’t tangible. Steve couldn’t see him or touch him, a part of him still lived in Steve’s imagination. Until now.

For @kkpwnall!!! Happy Birthday my wonderful friend!

You have been nothing but sweet and kind and encouraging since we met last year. I am so happy that our Steddie brain worms brought you into my life! To many more birthdays, and more Stranger Things brainrot 💗💗💗

Here is a little Steddie Re-Meet fic for you, in celebration for another trip around the sun. I hope you enjoy! 💫💓

Sinks my teeth into you and shakes you around!!!!!!!

perfect spiderweb cracks appear where youve grabbed onto me and i shatter like glass

[sleepsart]

I'm sorry I couldn't stop this. I'm sorry it has to be this way.

[ ID: A drawing in three parts, the top part being Harvey Clark, the middle part being a large fist, and the bottom part being Oskar Finch. Oskar is falling, reaching up toward the hand. Their face cannot be seen, and most of their body is blacked out. They're wearing a loose sleeved shirt, a piece of chest armor, and a pair of gloves. Their hair is very long and in a braid. The fist is above Oskar, clenched tightly around what seems to be an obscured body. A large amount of dark liquid is spraying out from between the fist's fingers, and there is a head sticking out of one side of the fist. It is robotic and screaming. Harvey is above both the fist and Oskar, laying on a beach and pushing himself up. He's an organic person now, rather than a machine. He has fins for ears, kelp for hair, and a large crab arm sticking out of his back. He's otherwise humanoid. He's wearing a large coat, dark pants, a shirt, a sash, and a pair of boots. His face is mostly obscured and he looks weary. Behind Harvey and the hand, there are large impact bursts. They stop at Oskar. End ID ]
