#steddie fic idea

[lunaraindrop]

Steddie fic idea:

Someone recorded one or a few of Corroded Coffin's songs and put it on cassette tape. (It could be live show, but the sound would have to be really clear)

In a shuffle, the tape gets played at a party Steve goes to...and he is enamored. He ends up paying the guy who played it $5 for the tape, and the song becomes his favorite.

All Steve has of the song is the one mixed tape. Nobody he talks to knows where the song came from. The record store was no help. (He is, of course, asking all the wrong people)

Steve is also very afraid that he will overplay the tape and break it.

Out of all the Tears for Fears, Abba, Bruce Springsteen, etc out there, *this* is the song that could save him from Vecna...but he doesn't even know what it is really called or who made it.

...

How funny is it that Eddie Munson wrote that song about some hot jock that he had a crush on...

I love a good fwb steddie fic where one of them thinks they’re dating and one of them thinks it’s just casual but I could also get behind a fwb steddie fic where they both think it’s casual and there’s zero misunderstanding between them but then they realize it’s been like five years, they live together, they have a cat together, they kiss and go out together, and they both just look at each other like????? Wait are we dating???? When did we start dating????? And they’re idiots but they’re in love your honor

Idea expanded, Rockstar Eddie falling head over heels for Bartender Steve working in a high class club type of joint. He sees him working one night and thinks God damn, he's hot. I'm taking him home tonight.

Except bartender Steve has developed a significant distaste for celebrities and rich people in general because of getting cut off from his homophobic parents for coming out and the general bad way many have treated him at work whilst sloshed. But lucky for Eddie, Steve doesn't recognize him. And even though he started off in a trailer park, the fame has gone to his head a little and he asks Steve out with the full intention of getting into his pants and never seeing him again.

But oh no, would you look at that Steve isn't easy. And what Eddie thought would be a booty call ends up being a ten hour date around the city where he has more fun than he even thought was possible. Just from talking with Steve about anything and everything, flitting to parks and museums. And Eddie doesn't even realize until he's back at his hotel that they didn't even kiss.

And they go out more and more, and Eddie likes him more and more and he finds out where the rich people hate comes from. And it scares him. So he keeps lying. Like an idiot. And he tells Steve a fake last name, he tells him a fake job (which is only half fake because he did used to be a tattoo artist) and he rents an air bnb that he pretends is his own place. And the lies keep getting more elaborate to cover up more lies. And he keeps refusing to meet Steve's friends out of fear that they'll recognize him. And he really just drove himself into a corner here because he is absolutely in love with Steve at this point but how the fuck can you have a normal relationship when you are pretending to be someone else?

Turns out you can't, and Steve finds out the truth despite his efforts. But the twist is, he thinks it's fucking hilarious. After a normal period of What the fuck reaction time he gets over it. But never let's Eddie live it down.

------------------------------

6/27 Edit: Welp, now there's a fic.

Two fics actually. The other is by KikiZ on ao3 which is great if you're not looking for an explicit fic! Because mine will be. It's also a bit more introspective than what I got going on, and also thus far, hella romantic.

Fantasy AU where Kas the fearsome dragon kidnaps Princess Stevie at her eighteenth birthday ball and refuses to let her go until he is bested by one of her suitors. When they arrive at his hoard, he braces himself for a lot of wailing and whining and escape attempts on the princess' part.

He does not expect her to make herself at home in his hoard and encourage him to flambé every suitor that attempts to enter his, no, their mountain.

(Nor does he expect to fall in love.

Princess Stevie did.)

[acowardinmordor]

Eddie is the right kind of character traits that you could write a modern fic where he and Steve match on a dating app, and then while they're still just chatting, something goes awry, he gets in his head about it, ghosts steve, mildly forgets about it, and so ends up matching with Steve on a different app, without remembering why the guy looks familiar.

Steve is confused, then a little outraged that the cute boy doesn't remember him, then realizes the guy really doesn't remember.

And being that Steve is a little shit, and Eddie is who he is, and dating app hell means you keep trying new ones, this could repeat more than once.

Okay. Okay. No, Hopper doesn't go back to being a cop. No. He wants to settle down a bit while also still looking after the kids. He becomes Hawkins High new basketball coach, partially to make sure those dumb jocks don't mess with the kids. He hires Steve as his assistant, and honestly, Steve finally learns what it's like to have a dad. Meanwhile, Joyce and Eddie are in the bleachers gossiping while also talking about how good their guys look. They're watching them both yell with their hands on their hips when Eddie and Joyce realize they sort of have the same taste in men.

I'm having steddie thoughts again

soulmate au (my achilles heel) where you see in black and white until you and your soulmate touch, then you're finally able to see in color

but ALSO - rockstar eddie and normie steve!!!

steve won the tickets for dustin through a radio giveaway, including backstage passes, and they get to be first in line for the meet and greet 👀

cue steve insisting that this is all for dustin and he doesn't wanna "ruin the moment" and embarrass him during the meet n greet because he thinks he isn't cool in comparison to a literal rock star but dustin BEGS him to come so that he won't be as nervous meeting 1 of his heros

so steve goes with to get their picture taken, (dustin is practically vibrating out of his skin with excitement) and right as the photographer tells them to smile, his arm brushes eddie's, and everything bursts into color - the exact moment they realize what happened is captured on film

honestly I've imagined a few different ways this could go: Steve goes to shake his hand right before the photo, or they brush arms, or Steve trips on the little rug mat while walking in and Eddie goes to catch him (insert Eddie making a "falling for me" joke, he's such a fucking sap)

idk I just had the vivid mental image of the photos being taken-the first one is when they make contact, the second pic is when they turn to each other with the "oh shit" looks on their faces, and the third one being them smiling/hugging/making out while dustin is LOSING IT

[stupid4steddie]

thinking about a modern AU where eddie runs a dnd youtube channel and gets announced as a guest at a con near the party…

of course they drag steve along as their designated adult to calm their parents down. steve goes begrudgingly, even let’s max and eleven dress him up as whatever they want.

they end up at eddie’s panel and steve can’t help but be a bit surprised that a popular dnd youtuber looks like that.

mike insists he wants to ask a question and makes steve come to the mic with him. when it finally gets to him, mike clears his throat and leans forward, “hi eddie! me and my friends love you, and we were just wondering if you’d be open to ever dating a fan?”

eddie grins before bringing his mic up, ‘i’d be open to it but you look a little young there’

mike looks towards steve and steve immediately freezes, knowing exactly what he’s about to say.

“oh, not me, my good friend steve here”

steve splutters, trying his best to stay calm as he pulls mike away from the microphone but he gets stopped by eddie chuckling into the mic.

‘yeah. yeah, maybe i’d consider steve. hes quite pretty, aren’t you big boy?’

maybe eddie takes steve on a silly date around the con, maybe they kiss about it ..

[1-8oo-wtfbro]

Steddie au where the Party are paranormal investigators and join Hellfire, a paranormal club run by Eddie Munson, a demon who usually just uses the club to get a good laugh at dumb humans, but actually finds himself endeared with the kids. they know their stuff, and he finds himself impressed by their enthusiasm and genuine desire to understand the supernatural. he also might have the slightest bit of a crush on their guardian angel, Steve-with the way these kids are jumping into the fray at the first sight of the supernatural, it makes sense the big guy would make sure theres an angel on hand- and his angel Platonic Soulmate Robin (not assigned to the kids like Steve but she’s there bc she missed him).

Steve wants nothing to do with Eddie and just wants to protect his kids and keep them out of trouble (for the most part. do u rlly think he could stop them entirely?), while eddie is intrigued by him. Eddie flirts and Steve gives him the cold shoulder, determined not to fall into what must be a trap to lead him astray. (it’s not. unless, of course, he’s being led astray right to Eddie’s di-)

[the party does, or doesn’t know eddie and steve aren’t human, but it’d be funny if theres a running theme of ppl-the party’s parents maybe?- thanking steve for being the kid’s ’guardian angel’]

[joehawke]

idk why this just popped into my head, but thinking about Steve who’s actually insanely smart, he always got straight A’s in school and the whole “dumb jock” was just a stereotype that Steve got stuck under and just never tried to prove wrong. Who cared whether or not he was actually smart? So he just played along. (Besides, it was an in to flirt with the girls; to pretend like he didn’t know what he was doing.) His parents had him tutored since he was old enough to count on his fingers, and sure it was exhausting, but it was something he was good at. Math, reading, science, it all came easy to him. He liked being able to impress the people around him. When he got involved with the upside down, the one thing that didn’t crumble around him was his studies. He was determined to make his parents proud. When it was time to send out all his college applications, his parents hadn’t returned home in months and by the time he heard back from the schools the upside down was worse than it’s ever been and it just wasn’t a concern anymore. So Steve stuffed the enveloped futures away. He had completely forgot about them. Until now.

It’s been a month since Hawkins cracked open. Max and Eddie both have been discharged from the hospital, on strict rehabilitation protocols. Because Wayne still had to work despite the government hush money, Steve decided it was best for Eddie to stay with him. Besides, the house is quiet and lonely, why not put it to good use? Steve had been downstairs frying eggs on a pan when Eddie came bounding around the corner clutching a stack of opened envelopes. He looked confused.

“What’s wrong Eds? What are those?” Steve asked, and when Eddie started rifling through the envelopes Steve caught the slightest sight of his school symbols. His heart dropped. “Eddie it’s not -“

“Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Columbia -“ Eddie starts naming off as he rifles through each envelope.

“Eddie.”

“You got into them all Steve. There’s like 10 different top notch schools here that you got into. Why has no one heard about this? And why are they stuffed in a drawer?”

“Because I’m not going” Steve says simply, like it was the easiest decision to make.

“What? What the fuck do you mean you’re not going?” Eddie asks appalled. And Steve gets why, he does, but he’s also determined to stand his ground.

“Why does it matter? I’m not going” Steve pouts, crossing his arms.

“Stevie. Did your parents pay for you to get in or something? Did they use the Harrington name you hate so much? There’s gotta be a reason you won’t go besides just being a stubborn asshole” and Steve gets why he‘a asking, and he’s never been hurt by it, but part of Steve flinches at the fact that Eddie couldn’t believe that Steve got in on his own account.

“No. It doesn’t matter, can we just drop it?”

“No. No we can’t. Do you know how badly I would KILL to get into any school, let alone an IVY. This is incredible Steve.” Eddie states, padding closer into the kitchen and Steve has to hold back a laugh at his rabbit slippers.

“I can’t go” Steve says quietly, turning away from Eddie and back to the stove where the eggs are starting to burn.

“Why though? Can you tell me that much?” Eddie asks, matching Steve’s soft tone.

“Because I have to be here. I have to be here incase Vecna isn’t really gone. Incase the kids need me. Incase Robin needs me. I can’t just leave…” Steve says, turning back towards Eddie to look at him before turning back towards the burnt eggs.

“Stevie. They’ll be fine. When are you gonna put yourself first sweetheart? I need a valid reason why you’re staying and I’ll drop it, because these aren’t -“

“Because you’re here!” Steve yells, turning back towards Eddie. Steve watches as Eddie’s lips part ever so slightly as his breath hitches before he continues. “When I got accepted into those schools the people who I did that for weren’t here anymore and fucking Henry Creel apparently was more prominent than ever, and the kids needed someone to take a hit and someone to protect them and Robin was here and she was the first person to care about me and what would that say about me if I left? And eventually those stupid schools were the furthest thing from my mind and then I thought about maybe going, maybe getting away from this hell… you came along and I couldn’t. I couldn’t leave you Eddie. With the regards of sounding cheesy, you carved a spot into my heart along side those bat bites and how was I supposed to just let you go after that?” Steve’s out of breath, and tears are starting to gather at his waterline, but he doesn’t care because Eddie is looking at him like he hung the sun and the moon and the stars and he remembers why he stays. And when Eddie’s lips collide with his own, he thinks he found home.

“We’re not done talking about this” Eddie says, and Steve chuckles as Eddie dives back in.

[steddiealltheway]

Okay a sort of summary of something that I’m writing in my head and will eventually write. Posting it here means I have to write it.

Steve and Eddie have been roommates for a few months - they knew each other through Robin and Nancy and the pair reluctantly told each of them that they were searching for a roommate. Surprisingly enough, they both get along really really well and become close friends.

Eddie knows that Steve is a writer - everyone does. The only problem is that he writes under a pen name and refuses to show anyone his work. Eddie doesn’t pry, but he’s extremely curious.

One day, he comes back to the apartment and sees Steve practically ripping his hair out at his computer. Eddie cautiously asks him what’s wrong, and Steve tells him that he can’t figure out how to write the next section because he can’t physically picture the two characters and he doesn’t want to get anything wrong.

Eddie asks Steve if he wants to use Eddie as a reference and Steve can be the other character. Steve freezes and glances between his laptop screen and back at Eddie a few times before agreeing. But just this one time.

Eddie doesn’t understand the hesitancy, but then Steve is guiding him back against a doorframe and leaning over him, overwhelmingly close to Eddie’s face. Steve asks Eddie where he would put his hands if he was in this situation. Eddie doesn’t know what the fuck the situation is, but he brings his hands up to the doorframe behind him and grips on.

Steve stares at Eddie for a few more seconds, leaning in closer until his nose brushes against Eddie’s. Then, he nods, rushing back over to his computer and typing at the speed of light. “Thank you,” Steve says as Eddie still stands in the doorway in slight shock.

“Anytime,” Eddie replies.

Apparently Steve takes that comment to heart because he keeps asking Eddie to be a reference. And the situations get… more and more intense.

Eddie suddenly realizes that Steve Harrington writes smut.

I will be posting an AO3 link when I eventually write this because I want to keep this blog relatively clean at the moment maybe?

[blushweddinggowns]

Idea expanded, adult siblings Eddie and Robin who are close (Both raised by Wayne, sorry Robin's parents I'm killing you off), even when Robin goes to another state for college. Eddie stays back, has his slut era, that unfortunately ends in him being a single dad. Or fortunately depending on how you look at it because he adores his kid. But it's still hard to manage everything. He's trying to go back to school part time, all while still working at his uncle's garage, and things are just hard.

But lucky enough for him, Robin moves back home at the perfect time. She gets an apartment with her mystery best friend from college who oddly enough she refuses to let Eddie meet. But oh well, he's just happy to have his sister back. Especially since she's always up for watching her favorite niece.

Though a day comes when she gets stuck at work, and Eddie has a final he can't miss with an asshole professor who definitely wouldn't let his three year old come with him, and he's desperate. Desperate enough for Robin to begrudgingly admit her mystery roommate is actually a daycare worker/nanny who is out of work. And she'll only ask for his help if Eddie promises to keep their relationship strictly professional. Which is weird and dumb but Eddie agrees nonetheless.

But then he meets the guy. And it only takes one shy smile and a simple, Hi, I'm Steve, and in an instant Eddie finally understands why Robin had been so adamant about them never meeting. Because holy shit he's gorgeous. Exactly his type. And it doesn't help when his daughter freaking adores him instantly. And like the brat she is (like father, like daughter) she only wants Steve to babysit for her from now on, all from spending less than four hours with the man.

But Eddie goes with it, mostly because he wants to get to know the guy more and because he is insanely cheap for someone so good at his job. And he learns that Steve is funny, and likes to cook, and has infected his daughter's mind with a brand new love for sports and the outdoors. But that's okay, because that means that Steve goes with them to all of the random WNBA games she wants to see. And shepherds them on ill-advised hikes that always leave Eddie's clumsy ass covered in dirt and bug bites. But it's all fun. Really fun. And Eddie gets to know Steve more and more, and likes him more and more, and starts to disrespect Robin's original rule more and more until it becomes undeniable that he's falling for the guy.

And Robin is not happy about it. She loves Eddie, but she also loves Steve. To an insane degree. Insane enough to not want to risk their relationship over the chance of him getting heart-broken over her notoriously bad at relationships brother. And Steve feels what Eddie's feeling, but he loves Robin more and agrees with her. And it doesn't help that he's heard a few unfortunately true stories about Eddie's past.

So cue to Eddie having to do an unscheduled emotional character arc just so he can get the privilege of dating Steve, with Robin acting as basically an overprotective sibling to the wrong guy, with his adorable daughter along for the ride.

Another Steddie Fic Idea

Steve can absolutely tell when Eddie's lying, he has a thousand tells, but the main ones are his fidgeting hands and his wide eyes

Steve: Eddie where's the milk

Eddie: idk man...

Steve: *suspicious* look me in the eyes

Eddie: *reluctantly looks Steve in the eyes*

Steve: you drank it all? Seriously dude??

Eddie: how the fuck do you do that

Steve: I'm putting a child lock on the milk caps from now on

Eddie: I'm not a child!

Steve: you drink plain fucking milk Eddie.

Eddie: ITS GOOD

[morganski-19]

Eddie falling for Steve even though he’s in a relationship.

Eddie hating himself for feeling this way for someone who’s taken.

Eddie going through heartbreak every time he sees Steve with his partner because he wants to be them.

Eddie secretly wishing that Steve would break up with them just to be with him.

Eddie killing himself because he wants Steve so much and can’t have him.

Steve trying to tell Eddie he’s been in a fake relationship for weeks but can’t seem to do it right.

[allthingssteddie]

The year was 1965 on a hot summer day when Steve and Eddie fell in love.

Greaser Eddie and Soc Steve hated each other as socs and greaser do but they couldn’t stop running into each other where ever they went.

Background Steve couldn’t stand his friends and didn’t want to be apart of their group but he felt stuck. But one day when him and Tommy and his friends go to the drive in he sees Eddie and his group of friends and they get into a fight leading them both in a holding cell and when they are stuck in the cell together they can’t help but finally talk to each other and see they both have things in common but they both know they can’t become friends because of the background but where ever they go they can’t stop bumping into each other they both eventually decide to meet in secret.

Also side note Eddie’s uncle owns a gas station and Steve’s dad is running for mayor.
