#i love steve so much

a series of events:

her first time meeting Augustus Porter, Luz gives him a nickname and teaches him about The High Five.

Gus adopts the nickname with glee and passes on the knowledge of The High Five to the Human Appreciation Society.

Mattholomule picks up The High Five from there and teaches it to his (coolest ever) older brother, Steve.

Steve, enchanted, and being the coolest guy ever, teaches The High Five to a bemused Lilith Clawthorne, the (very secretly thrilled) Golden Guard, and any other scout who'll listen.

Lilith, after defecting, uses The High Five on Hooty's face.

Bonus:

Hunter, upon leaving the Emperor's Coven, is absolutely ecstatic to develop a high def super special awesome handshake version of it with Gus, the first witch to learn the art of The High Five

Steve: Jim you fucking psychopath. There's a box here with your wife's name on it? (laughing) I wonder what's in the box, Jim! Piece of shit couldn't even afford a coffin. Oh…the box isn't opening. What kind of black magic is this! (he struggles to open it) It's- it's tape. The black magic's tape.

in stark contrast to Gus' full support of huntlow, Hunter misses zero opportunities to get in the way of any advances Mattholomule might try to make towards Gus. we're talking intruding on conversations and sitting between them on the couch unprompted and uninvited, we're talking throwing Looks, the shovel talk is implied and ready to be enforced, Matty gets no peace

Hunter's heard some things about that guy and he has thoughts, but mostly he just wants to be a lil shit

steddie fake dating au that starts because robin’s mom keeps pushing for her and steve to get together and robin gets so fed up that she yells, “it’s not gonna happen because some people are gay, mom!”

and upon seeing the utter horror and fear on her face, steve swoops in and says he’s the one who’s gay. cue mr. and mrs. buckley, local hippies, attempting to show how supportive they are, and all the while steve gets eddie to agree to fake date to get the buckleys to prove they’re safe, so that robin will feel comfortable enough to come out to her parents.

i so badly want one of those fic examinations of steve's relationship with joyce and hopper but solely through eddie's pov like hear me out

steve and eddie chat a lot in the upside down (and later in the hospital, when they learn hop is alive). steve has taken charge of filling eddie in on the rest of their of-age crew without the kids butting in. he never mentions his own parents, but he talks about the rest of the party's a lot, especially joyce and hopper. eddie knows what it's like to desperately want someone to be your parent and trying to hide it from his own childhood, when he would try to be cool about wayne dropping him off at his dad's house. steve obviously adores joyce and hopper, thinks the world of them and legitimately looks up to them.

eddie isn't sure what he expects from a cop who came back to life and the world's most determined housewife, but he's excited to meet them as someone steve loves.

cue eddie's horror when he realizes that neither of them really feel much for steve rather than annoyance and vague distrust. that joyce trusts will with eddie, an accused murderer, in a heartbeat and still hesitates to leave him with steve. that hopper brushes off every ounce of steve's hero worship and joy.

he tries to broach the topic with steve, gently, and is heartbroken when steve genuinely has no idea what he's talking about. and not because he's oblivious, but because steve thinks that's what he deserves. he thinks that's the parental love that someone who was an asshole in high school needs, because that's what would make him a good person. he needs people to call him out constantly, obviously, because why else would they keep doing it? why would nancy? at least they're here. at least they're not ignoring him. at least they're not forcing him into a box. they just want him to be better.

like, this is the man who thanked a girl for calling him bullshit and telling him she never loved him. he doesn't Know that's not how you're supposed to handle things. no one ever taught him that.

and now eddie's gotta figure out how he can teach steve how to be loved the right way without outing himself and his huge crush on his love-starved dork of a friend.

his ass is NOT listening
