#harringrove txt

[rascheln]

Post S2 harringrove is winter house parties with shared cigarettes in the cold and shared kisses in dark closets. It's Billy stinking of beer and cigarettes and perfume, crowding Steve in the back of the car. It's Steve's icy cold mask melting away when one of Billy's mean comments is so funny it cracks Steve up. It's basketball practice used to shove each other around and desperate fucks in the showers. It's driving to the quarry and getting high together till their heads spin and Billy's bruises don't ache so much anymore and Steve doesn't feel so lonely anymore when they share each other's body heat. It's fighting when Billy feels too vulnerable, lashing out because Steve got too close and Steve's short lived fury melting away into sadness afterwards, eyes big and round following Billy across the shook parking lot. It's Billy stepping out of the car and inconspicuously searching for Steve's, trying not to react to the relief he feels when Steve is already looking at him.

billy buys steve a buttplug (mostly) as a joke gift and then has to deal with the fact that steve actually really likes the size and stretch of it, the way it holds him open when he slowly eases it out and how much faster it gets him on billy’s dick.

the best the worst part is that steve becomes absolutely unpredictable.

they’ll be on a quick drive for an errand the next town over and steve will make billy pull over at a random spot that hides the car from the road, slip out of his shorts and onto billy’s lap and reveal the plug and his slicked up hole, ready to ride billy while he holds onto the seat.

bill will come over to steve’s place as emotional support during a terribly boring party and charm his parents till they think steve has made the most promising young man as a friend... and then steve will drag him to the guest bedroom while his parents and their friends are getting progressively more drunk, drag billy down onto the bed as they make out and spread his legs as far as his pants allow so billy can feel the hard bottom of the plug through the fabric.

(it’s only thanks to billy keeping steve’s mouth shut with the palm of his hand that keeps him quiet enough to not get caught as billy plows him into the mattress)

and every time they take a weekend trip to another city where they can hit the clubs, it’s almost inevitable that they will return to their motel after dancing and kissing all night to steve revealing he was wearing the plug all throughout billy groping him within an inch of his life on the dancefloor.

thinking of harringrove who haven’t seen each other in probably ten years but both end up living in the same big city, new york or chicago. and one day they find themselves both sheltering from the pouring rain in a phone booth. steve is the one to enter last, he doesn’t even realize the phone booth is occupied bc his glasses are covered in water and then he feels a warm body against his and apologizes with a quiet “sorry” and is about to leave the dryness of the phone booth to not bother but billy pulls him back inside by the jacket with a, “where do you think you’re going, pretty boy?”

[prettyboybillyhargrove]

I really need this to happen. Is there one?

[plistommy]

Eddie: Dude, Hargrove definitely wants to fuck you. He has checked out your ass not once, but three times this morning!

Steve: No, he doesn’t! Just shut up, man…

*10 minutes later*

Billy: Hey, Harrington. You should wear those jeans more often. They fit you really well.

Steve: Oh haha, thanks!

Eddie: *whispers* See?!!!

Steve: Maybe he just likes the design—

Eddie: DESIGN OF YOUR ASS, YES!!

I swear,

if I ever read another fic with Billy and Steve/anyone else having sex on the backseat of the Camaro, I'm gonna flip around some tables 😑

Sure, I know it doesn't matter - really. The story is what matters, right? Yes. All the way. BUT. If you want to write details that aren't fiction as accurately as possible to make the fic more credible...

I'm kind of a car geek, so I like my facts correct, and hereby present them to you:

Camaro Z28 (1979) - the car Billy's car is based on.

(It's not the particular model throughout the show, enthusiasts keep referring it as a mutt instead of a fullbreed :D It seems to be a custom make from several different cars - or then Duffers messed this up too simply by using different cars. Anyway, it's more or less the one he drives whenever the car is seen outside snd that is what peeps think about first when thinking of Billy's Camaro)

2nd row length (length from the back of the front seat to the 2nd row backrest): 28.4 in / 721 mm

2nd row height (on highest point): 36 in / 914 mm

2nd row shoulder room (width somewhere around on the height of the door windows because the seat is located as low as the front seat): 54.4 in / 1382 mm

2nd row hiproom (backseat width from left to right): 46.3 in / 1176 mm

A ton of details of this particular model here >>

As you can see from the measurements (go ahead, get the measurement tape, I'll wait), the shape of the car is such that it narrows the backseat headspace AND the width of the seat towards the trunk from the sides and roof. The whole inner space is shaped like a flat oval.

So, the whole backseat space is small to say the least.

Here, let me show you:

The car in the photo is probs a model from earlier years (bc of the back windows) but the measurements stay true more or less with Z28's that were produced in the 1970s.

It might look like in the show that it's more spacious, but in reality there's NO WAY you can have sex on that back seat. Especially if you're writing Harringrove/Mungrove or (god forbid 😂) Harringroveson. Ok, maybe if you think that the frontseats are leaning down forward. It's not gonna be fun for them that way either tbh. Maybe you can get some comedy out of it? 😂

But not even one grown up fits to travel there properly. You can hold your groceries there, or two small kids - if you're willing to suffer the fighting. AND same goes whenever you're writing The Party traveling on the Camaro - all of them won't fit in.

It's a muscle car, not a family saloon.

I think the photo above says it all. Remember it every time you're writing.

If you want to write people having sex in the Camaro, then write them maybe doing it on the front seats and having the backrests leaning down towards the backseat. Though they won't really lean that much back down (if at all tbh, they might only lean forward to let someone on the backseat), there just isn't the space as you can see. Or if you want to keep the back seat scenario then mention the front seats leaning forward.

In any case, having sex in that car is difficult, but I think the front seats offer more space for it in all cases, and make the fic more credible.

PS. Pls, don't take this too seriously. Keep writing your fics the way you like and don't allow the facts to stop you imagining what you want. Fan fiction is not about this kind of details, it's to let your creativity to flow. Stay true to that, always.

I still don't get why people act like only one character can be queer.

I think Eddie is queer coded, but even if I didn't, I'd still headcanon him as queer because I am and every character I like is too, I *do* make the rules. But Will is!!! He canonically is!!! You can't just erase that!!!

Jonathon is an *amazing* brother and incredibly supportive, his and Will's relationship is one of my favorites in the whole show. To an extent, Jonathon understands Will because he's an outcast, too. But, as a Queer person, I don't think someone who's not Queer can fully understand the experience.

Why would you take things from Will and give them to Eddie when they can both struggle and find comfort in each other? Eddie can show Will that he can be happy and he will, make him feel accepted and seen, work with Jonathon to help him see he doesn't have to fit in, be a shoulder to lean on and an ear to listen. Eddie can see himself in Will, see how far he's come when he feels like he never grows, give him motivation to continue growing to be a good example for Will.

And Jonathon and Eddie!!! Bond over their love for Will!!! Become friends!!! Eddie teaches Jonathon DnD!!! Jonathon teaches Eddie about photography!!! And introduces him to Argyle!!!

There's so much potential but people are so focused on their only being one queer character, no character can have similar traits or relationships, Will has to be in love with Mike and have no qualities of his own.

I love Eddie and Dustin, I'm not a monster of course I do! But Eddie and Will would have been *amazing*.

yeah not happening. catch this block

[draculcid]

this may just be my dumbass but why are steve harrington and billy hargrove LITERALLY the mlm version of sandy olsson and danny zuko (from grease)

TELL ME IM WRONG

[rascheln]

In some alternate universe it's Neil who gets possessed and Billy teams up with the others to stop him and the mindflayer, just to distract his dad long enough that El can get in the finishing blow. And maybe he stays with the Mayfields officially, but he drops by Steve's place an awful lot. They drink. They talk. Their rivalry sort of reemerges in the form of them playing basketball and going swimming and ribbing each other mercilessly, just to drive back to Steve's place for pizza and a movie.

While they talk, Billy drops some of the facade he's had on for so long and regales Steve with one shitty restriction after another his dad used to pull on him. Of course Steve's being a bit awkward about how to deal with Billy being a bit (a lot) fucked in the head over his very dead dad for a while, because Billy hated Neil so much and was hurt so much, but he also craved his approval constantly. All he can do is say "wow, what an asshole" and make the dumbest jokes imaginable in the hopes that that's enough and it may not magically fix things but it certainly helps.

It breaks the tension. It helps make Billy crack up when he looks like he's about to cry.

Enough time spent in each other's pockets also brings the frustrating, yet somewhat hilarious realization that Steve, in turn, is also woefully blind to his own family's unique levels of shittyness. Solving problems with money and telling their son to get a job instead of checking in why he's in such a slump? Consistently talking about other people's achievements just to throw Steve judging glances? The drawn out absences and silence between then?

"Oh, that's just how they are," Steve shrugs, leaned casually against the Family Video counter as Robin shares an understanding look with Billy over Steve's shoulders.

hands glued to the sink, knuckles white, steve holds on. through rolling, earth shattering thrusts that push into him hard and deep. through the pleasure that’s wound tight through his entire body. his dick twitches, wet and so, so hard where it bobs between his legs and he just. needs a little more. just one of billy’s hands, cold metal rings and rough fingers wrapped around him.

his insides cling to billy. he’s so stretched out and slick with lube, sensations bordering on overwhelming with every brush over his prostate that he’s started to feel dizzy with it. and billy has impeccable aim. he’s gonna fucking melt and billy’s still gonna fuck him through it.

over his shoulder in the mirror, behind his own helpless, defiant glare, billy looks stunning. curls wild and grin even wilder, eyes sparkling. his voice a deep purr in steve's ear when he leans forward.

“come on.” another thrust. a change in angle that makes steve’s entire body buck and trash and his mouth fall open on a helpless moan. “beg me.”

he won’t. he won’t he won’t he won’t. he stays quiet.

and hargrove laughs. fucking smacks his ass, the sting of pain almost sweeter than the pleasure coursing through steve’s veins. there’s precome dripping from the tip of his dick. he can’t seem to close his mouth, too busy breathing. moaning.

a line of drool slips out. he doesn’t care. just desperately holds on to cold porcelain as he rides another wave of pleasure that pools in his belly and trickles down his spine. into his balls. into the very tip of his dick, where a fresh burst of precome pulses out of him.

billy grunts. changes his movements to a slower, harder grind over his prostate that sends sparks off behind steve’s eyes. and presses them so close together he can feel billy’s heavy body weight against his back and the heat of his body bleed into his skin. fuck, he’s so full. his eyes close. his hips push back, to take billy in deeper. to get to that spot that pushes him closer and closer to the edge.

sharp teeth bite into the meat of his shoulder. maybe to punish him, maybe to ground billy, the selfish asshole. steve doesn’t care anymore. another push. a full-body shiver shakes him as that final, glorious wave of white-hot pleasure pain overtakes him and fries his nerves. distantly, he can feel his dick pump out burst after burst of hot come. can hear billy let out an incredulous laugh that turns into a groan as steve tightens up, feeling every thick inch inside him.

and billy still holds him. firm, reassuring. almost careful, despite his infuriating attitude.

it’s what brings steve back every time, after all.

[hephaestn]

backpacker billy and quiet, bookworm tourist steve meeting in a train somewhere in england. steve is the type to sit neatly in his seat, without occupying much space and here comes billy, with his huge backpack, setting it on the seat in front of steve. he sits down and rests his legs on the seat next to steve, which only makes steve give him a small judgy side eye.

and, i don’t know how or why but they end up in a tiny little english town, in the same!!! hostal!!! and of course, this annoying blond would have to end up being his roommate for the night

Steve: To be honest, I just need some good dick to get my mind off these things…

Eddie: I mean, shit… I can help—

Billy, coming out of a gate from the Upside Down while being all bloody and bruised: NO YOU WON’T!!!!!

[kegkingofpriderock]

sure sex is cool but have you ever fantasized about having a girlfriend who helps you write harringrove fluff while cuddling

[hipothetical-introvert]

Ice Age AU, billy is diego and steve is Sid.
