“close your eyes and hold out your hands” for the prompt thing!! (-patheticgirlsteve)

@patheticgirlsteve i went with steddie for the ship <3

okay this is a little bit silly but it's the idea that came to me so lets go!!

robin and steve work at a craft store after getting fired from family video for 1. leaving in the middle of their shift, and 2. not showing up for the rest of the week

---

With the door left open to entice wandering customers to come inside, the summer heat easily crept in and left the store stuffy and warm. The overhead fans were mostly useless, moving the air around instead of cooling anything down, and briefly Steve longed for the skin-chilling air conditioning at Scoops.

"I kind of miss Scoops right now." Robin decided, standing underneath one of the fans and further cementing Steve's belief that they were mind-melded. Apparently a warm breeze was better than no breeze.

The claw-clip she'd used to hold her hair back was Eddie's, but she'd shrugged and said he shouldn't have left it in Steve's car if he didn't want it stolen, and. Well.

Steve hummed his agreement, too lazy to put his mind-meld theory into words, and tried to count how many different shades of red fabric they had. It was hard to concentrate enough to separate them though, with the way the heat was melting his brain.

And then: Salvation.

The scuff of shoes and a faint metallic jingle, brought the coworkers attention to the door as Eddie Munson strolled in, their first customer in hours.

Steve took a second to delight in his boyfriends summer wardrobe- cut off shorts he'd stolen from Steve (who'd stolen them from Robin) and a tank top that used to be Wayne's, with his hair knotted back into some semblance of a bun.

Overall there was a lot of skin on display. Steve wanted to bite him.

"Hi Eddie." They chorused, not bothering to move from their respective positions.

Eddie grinned and nodded at Robin, who had her head tilted back like that would cool her down faster. "Buckley."

Then, he turned to Steve, leaning on the opposite side of the counter so they were face to face, smile softer. "Baby."

Steve rolled his eyes, biting back his own smile. "What do you want Munson?"

"Well," Eddie started tilting his head theatrically. "I do need fabric paint, but I also have something for you, so I figured-" He waved a hand, rings a blur of sliver "-two birds, one stone and all that shit."

"You have something for me? What is it?"

"Close your eyes, and hold out your hands."

Steve eyed him suspiciously, and Eddie rolled his eyes.

"Cmon sweetheart, just trust me."

The thing was, Steve did trust Eddie. With his life and his heart and the well being of the kids - but he didn't trust Eddie not to give him a handful of beetles because he thought they looked pretty.

Still, it was hot and Steve didn't want to argue, so he held out his free hand and shut his eyes with a huff.

Eddie leaned in and kissed his forehead, apparently uncaring of the sweat there, right as something cool and leather dropped into his hand. It was the case for his glasses.

Well that explained why the wall of fabrics were blurring together.

"Saw these on your desk when I got up and figured you'd need them."

And then, before Steve could actually move to do anything, Eddie flipped open the case and unfolded the glasses inside, gently sliding them onto Steve's face. The tip of his tongue was pressed to his top lip as he adjusted them until they were balanced properly, the bridge pushed up to where it was most comfortable. Then he nodded, snapping the case closed and leaning across the counter to tuck it in the cubby where Robin kept her bag.

Steve couldn't move, following Eddie with his eyes. He still wasn't used to it, the way that Eddie cared, the way he loved. He just... did things like it cost him nothing, like Steve wasn't just a burden to carry until his arms grew tired.

He treated Steve like he was something worth having, pushed and prodded and teased, always seeking out his reaction, keeping him involved and included. He laughed when Steve was mean and laid with him when he was sad, was always going on about how smart Steve was like didn't constantly feel like the slowest in the party.

He put his glasses on for him.

Tilted his chin up with one knuckle and gave an approving nod. "Now you're not all squinty."

Steve unfroze, melting into a warm smile and quickly glancing around the store before leaning in to peck him on the lips. "Thank you."

“it’s okay, i couldn’t sleep anyway” for the prompt thing!! (-patheticgirlsteve)

OKAY SO this prompt is from a prompt list I rb'd in December (wowza!) and I found the writing for this prompt half finished in my WIPs folder today and decided to finish it!

This ficlet is also a look into the in-progress When Harry Met Sally-inspired AU/canon divergence fic. I've been sitting on both that fic and this snippet for far too long and have been itching to share something. So, here's the something!

(something set in the late summer of '98, in a city that doesn't bode well during heat waves)

It’s an unusually hot night in Steve’s apartment. 

It's going to be an unusually hot week in the city, actually.

Steve has gotten used to the temperate San Francisco weather in the 11 years he's been a resident. But after 11 years, he's still surprised at the random bursts of heat that creep in during these last few weeks of August. Just in time for him and his students to sit inside the toaster oven that is his classroom during the first week of school.

Thankfully, it's not a school night. The last week of his summer vacation, and he's spent most of the daylight hours dangling half of his body out of the screen-less street-facing window in his apartment, praying a breeze would whip past him. (It didn't).

After an hour of tossing and turning in bed, in nothing but a pair of boxers, the open window providing no relief, the air stale and hot and a bit sticky, he decided to move to the living room, where he will still be suffering, but at least there's a TV out there.

A movie he remembers seeing with Robin in the theater during their Oakland days is playing as soon as he flicks on the TV, reminding him of how long it's been since they've lived together, let alone in that first apartment in Oakland. Freshly 20 and 21, figuring out how to live on their own, thousands of miles from everyone and everything they knew. Figuring out how to deal with the calmness of it all.

Remembers talking about the movie again in '92, and being annoyed with all of his friends (Eddie and Nancy) who thought that Lloyd and Diane broke up in London. Wonders if they're still as cynical about love today as they were back then.

As he's counting the years back in his head, the phone rings, pulling him out of his thoughts.

“Hel-lo?” He answers, remembering that it is 2am in the middle of the word, dragging it into two syllables to make it seem like he's shocked that someone is calling him.

“What the hell are you doing awake at this hour?” Eddie quips, Steve reflexively rolls his eyes, at both the tone of his voice and the question itself.

“How do you know that you didn’t just interrupt my much needed beauty sleep?” He scoffs, flicking his head like he would if Eddie were sitting right here on the couch with him. Eddie must pick up on it, chuckling over the phone, a similar sound to the one he made when he was sitting on this couch hours ago, suffering with Steve in his apartment.

Now there's something twenty-one year old Steve would be shocked to learn. That him and Eddie became friends, at all.

“I can hear the TV.” Steve hums in response, turns the volume down a notch or two. “But, here’s a courtesy ‘I’m sorry’ for the late night call.”  

“It’s okay. I couldn’t sleep anyway.” Steve sighs as the slightest breeze rolls through the open window. He's a much better sleeper than twenty-one year old Steve, but due to recent life-changing events and this damn heat-wave, a late-night phone call with Eddie is almost routine at this point

“I miss Evie’s apartment. She had AC.” Eddie says, casually. Steve still doesn't get how he can talk about her so casually. How he can just bring her up like it's nothing. If he even thinks about -

“I still can’t believe you got your heartbroken by a trust fund baby.” He says, cutting off his own thought.

“I’m more heartbroken about that AC unit right now,” still casual, as if he is actually heartbroken about an AC and not a person.

“What’re you watching?” He asks.

“Say Anything.” 

“Channel?”

“12.” 

The scene where Lloyd is talking to Diane’s father on the prison yard. It makes him think of Eddie on the other line, sitting in his unintentional bachelor pad a few blocks away from his own. The thought must’ve made Eddie’s ears burn. 

“That’s not what visitation is actually like, ya know?” His voice is soft.

“Oh yeah?” Steve says, wanting to encourage but not pry.

“Yeah. It’s indoors, at tables, cold and gray. Feels dirty and sterile at the same time.” Eddie says.

“I always thought it happened between a plane of glass, with a telephone on either side of the glass.” Steve offers, giving him an out, a chance to change the subject if he wants to bow out.

“That’s what it’s like in county jail. Prison’s different.” Steve hums again, knows there’s no need to respond with anything else. Steve doesn’t need to ask him how he knows all of this. He knows that Eddie doesn’t expect him to ask. That’s the thing, about old friends, about them, about their whole gang. There are certain things they’ll always know about each other. 

His mind drifts to a little Eddie and a younger Wayne, walking into a room just like Eddie had described, going through the motions. It pulls at his chest a little. 

“Do you still think they broke up in London?” Steve tests.

“I don’t think they broke up in London?” Eddie says, a tad defensive. 

“Yes you do, or you did.” He remembers the conversation, he knows Eddie must remember the conversation.

“When did I say that?” 

“In San Diego, we had a whole thing about it, the five of us.” The drunk and loud debate was held stuffed into a diner booth in San Diego. Before you left.

Eddie pauses.

“I did say that, didn’t I?” 

“You sure did.” 

“Well, to answer your question, no. I don't think so. I think that they’re two weirdos who were meant for each other.” Eddie says, Steve sinks further into the couch, holds the phone up with his shoulder.

“That's exactly what I said then.” 

"Well, I think it now."

"Me too." It comes out softer than he expected. Suddenly thankful that this conversation is happening over the phone, so he can scrunch the feeling away from his face, take a deep breath and shake the feeling that just washed over his body.

“I know a thing or two about weirdos who’re meant for each other.” Eddie says playfully, that tone he uses when he's half-joking, but half-serious. Steve feels something bubble in the very depths of his stomach. 

“Oh yeah? Who?” 

“You and Robin.” Pop. He lets out a deep breath.

“Ha ha.” Steve says, toning up the sarcasm.

“Max and Lucas, Joyce and Jim, the entire gang who’s bonded by the terrors of the 80s and government NDA’s.” Steve’s laugh barks out of him, he can’t hide how surprised he is at these words coming out of Eddie’s mouth. 

“What? What’s so funny?” 

“Nothing, it’s just…” He trails off, trying to choose his next words carefully. “Not used to you talking about the past. Hasn’t really been your thing.” His mind drifts momentarily to San Diego again. Watching him hail that cab. Running away. 

“There's a lotta things that I used to do, or not do.” There’s a pause. Either of them could say something, there’s something dangling in the air between them, between their two phone lines, filling the space between their two apartments. Just as Steve opens his mouth to say something, cut the tension, snatch the feeling out of the air, Eddie beats him to it.

3 ships

I’m not sure if this means of all time or not. Steddie—I’m pretty sure that’s how most of you found me. Zukka, and FinnPoe

First Ship ever

According to my mom, I’ve been shipping Magneto and Prof. X since I was like 5 (when X-Men (2000) came out.) The first one I remember was Kataang when ATLA first aired or Scorose because that’s the first ship I read/wrote fic for

Last Song:

No Children by the mountain goats, but the version where it’s the audience singing the lyrics instead. This song has gotten me through some tough times, and it’s actually nice to hear other people who it probably helped singing it.

Last Movie:

I’m a big lover of cheesy 90’s-early 00’s romcoms. I’ve been in a huge Hugh Grant phase lately and I’ve been rewatching Notting Hill. I don’t why I adore this movie so much but I do.

Currently Reading:

When not reading Steddie fics I’m currently reading You’re a Mean One, Matthew Prince. It’s an LGBTQ Christmas romance.

Currently watching:

I just finished watching Dead to Me, and I’m looking for something else to watch. I’ll probably rewatch Stranger Things or finally watch Gilmore Girls.

Currently consuming

A bottle of water and cookies for Santa.

Currently craving:

Marinated Asparagus it’s a tradition with one of my aunts for Thanksgiving and Christmas and I haven’t had it in years

A Steddie fanfiction. Rated E. 84k.

----

April 1986

“How’re you feeling, Ed?” Steve asks quietly, preserving the stillness of the night that surrounds them. 

“Think I’m alright, a little tired.” Eddie watches the gentle waves that ripple out from his shins kicking softly in the water. It’s been a long day, even he has to admit that, and he’s feeling… well, that’s the end of the sentence. He’s feeling. 

It’s the first time Eddie’s been around everyone all at once since the Upside Down and the kids, they mean well and he knows that, surrounded him with so much love that it’d become overwhelming. So had sitting upright, walking around, talking. The last hour or so, he’d gone ghost— transparent without actually disappearing— and the others followed his lead. Pretend you’ve vanished hard enough and the people around will you pretend, too. Except for Steve, he discovers.

It’s an odd thing though, preferring to be still, to be quiet, and he hates that the Upside Down has stolen this piece of himself, too. Steve’s assured him that it’s okay, that he’ll be his boisterous, loud, antsy self again when his body’s healed but it’s taking too long for Eddie’s liking. Or comfort. 

“You know it's normal, right? It’s a lot, Ed. You didn’t even have to stay out here the whole time, no one would’ve minded or blamed you.” Steve sits next to him, letting his feet slide in beside Eddie’s. Everyone else is inside— kids, parents, everyone who’s made the Harrington House their base while waiting for the government pay-outs and new homes. It’s late now, but Steve and Eddie take advantage of the silence as they so often do. 

“Yeah, yeah I know. Doesn’t mean I have to like it.” 

Steve nods and lets his pinky touch the edge of Eddie’s, palm down on the cold, wet concrete. 

“You don’t, you’re right. I didn’t either. For what it’s worth though,” Steve takes a breath, thinks about how he wants to word this without making a confession he’s not yet ready for, “I like every version of you.” 

Eddie’s heart pounds in his chest and he watches the ripples from Steve’s legs blend into his. Huh, he thinks, something symbolic there. 

He doesn’t respond, just wraps his pinky around Steve’s.

it's almost 2023 and I just want to get a little bit sappy here for a moment.

2022 was a big year for me for a lot of reasons. some great, some not so great, and the theme of the year was reconnecting with pieces of myself that ended up scattered after several years that were unkind, at best.

when I watched the new season of Stranger Things this summer, covid-ridden and miserable, I did not expect for that to change my life. no hyperbole. joining this fandom and meeting all of you has changed my life. when we find a new community that gets us, that lets us be ourselves and explore creative bits that have been buried away for years, that leaves a mark. and you all have.

I stopped writing seven years ago when I was in a situation that required me to drop things that caused conflict. unfortunately, writing was one of them. and even after getting out of that situation and now being years into the healthiest place I've been in life, writing stayed on the back-burner. it'd been buried so deep, that something needed to truly rock me to remind that oh! I can do things simply because I enjoy them again! (and then Eddie Munson entered the chat, lmao.) every comment, every kudos, every message, every reply- I cannot tell you all how much they mean to me.

and now here I am! I've written more in this year between published and yet-to-be-published works than I could've dreamed of at the start of this year. I've made friends that have breached fandom-exclusive containment. I joke a lot, but I feel so truly lucky to have somehow found myself dragged by the ankles back onto tumblr and back into the fanfiction sphere. fanfiction is such a gift and I just adore all of you!

I'm so excited to see what new words and new magic we collectively create in the coming year!

hi, friends! it's above 40°F here today, which means I'm staring down the barrel of spring! and as promised, I'm planning on running another fic challenge for spring along the same vein as lex's winter fic challenge which was an absolute blast. this time around, I'd like to also open it up for fanart, moodboards, etc.! before posting prompts and whatnot though, I wanted to do a little temperature check (pun intended) on how to best time it with so many of us also participating in the steddie big bang. last time, I gave a two-week timeline for posting and I'm thinking of doing a full month for posting instead for maximum flexibility. if you feel so inclined, vote for what you think is best and feel free to comment/message/etc with additional thoughts!

hi friends! this is probably the last snippet I'll share before posting over the hills and far away for the big bang next month, but I wanted to prove that I have, indeed, been writing despite not posting since my Halloween fic! I was right on track but this thing has run the fuck away from me and now I'm frantically trying to finish it by the deadline. I'm fine, everything's fine. Totally, absolutely, completely fine!

since I’ve been clickety-clackin’ away on over the hills and far away, I figured I’d share another spoiler-free tidbit! another month or so and this baby will be posted! ahhhhh!

Because changing is an active process, a verb, a state of action, and that’s where Steve is— finally moving forward. He’s not too old to run away from home and he's certainly not too old to find himself, or in this case, create himself. 

this is too many words for me to tag people so I'll tag some friends and just include a blanket tag for anyone who wants to get in on this! :') also I know I'm late to the party so if you've been tagged already or done this already, just ignore me!
