steddie where eddie is the feared pirate of the hellfire ship and steve is a royal navy officer. after a storm, steve's ship is destroyed and he is left floating on driftwood in the ocean until he's discovered by the hellfire and brought aboard.

steve thinks he knows everthing about eddie "the banished", but he doesn't expect the pirate to bandage his wounds and reroute the ship to steve's home kingdom.

by the time they reach land, steve doesn't want to leave

[tinypandabasketballfarm]

So everyone in Hawkins thinks that Steve tried to kill himself, right? He’s got bruises around his neck that look a lot like they were made by rope and Steve can’t exactly say that they were made by mutant hell bats, can he?

Steve hasn’t had that realization yet and thinks everyone that comes into Family Videos is treating him with kid gloves because he has a concussion which, “C’mon, guys. It’s not like this hasn’t happened before.”

[tinypandabasketballfarm]

Considering Steve isn't good at being honest most of the time, Eddie takes pride on being the only one who can read him like a book. And by book, no one expects Eddie to mean it literally.

They're going out with their friends when Eddie turns to Steve.

Eddie: What do you want for dinner, sweetheart?

Steve: I'm fine with whatever.

Eddie: Pizzas? Chinese takeouts? Burger Kings? Or we can have Meemaw's chili again.

Each one receives a nope (and a pout) from Steve. As Eddie goes on with his suggestions and keeps getting more nopes, everyone pretends to be in some kind of conversation but is actually waiting to see if Steve's just being indecisive or joking.

Gareth: What doesn't he want??

Robin: That's just another Tuesday with Steve for you.

Nancy: Yeah, he's been like that.

Jonathan: That's why he takes so long to do his hair.

Jeff: So he's just indecisive?

Robin: But only sometimes.

Gareth: I'm so confused– Dude, stop shaking me, I'm trying to connect something here–

Grants: Dude, look!

Everyone looks up from their conversation to see Eddie already wearing a pair of glasses and squinting down at the open book in his hands. They watch him lick his finger and leaf through the pages until he finds whatever he's been searching for.

Not one to be left out, everyone surreptitiously lean closer and listen to what he's murmuring under his breath.

"No fast food, no takeouts, no Meemaw's recipes... Hm, he said 'whatever' in that tone... According to section B, part C, point A, he wasn't in the mood for actual food. Well, that's not good... But he said 'it's up to you' when I mentioned having a movie night... Hm... Aha! He meant this! Why didn't I remember it sooner?"

Dumbfounded, they all watch Eddie turn back to Steve with that triumphant smile and do a subtle fist bump when Steve agrees to have cheese sandwiches and tomato soup for dinner.

"... Is that an actual book?" Jeff asks, sounding in awe.

"So he's been bringing it around in his shoulder bag this whole time?" Gareth gasps like he's just solved a great mystery.

"Yeah," Argyle confirms with a lazy smile. "He's a good dude."

"Well." Nancy blinks, glancing at a dazed Jonathan. "He's certainly good for Steve."

"Of course," Robin snorts. She's never known someone who can read Steve's mind as well as she does. That's part of the reason why she has trusted her best friend with Eddie in the first place.

"That's commitment for you," Grants says and everyone can't help but nod in agreement.

Yesterday, before sleeping I was having ✨ omegaverse thoughts ✨ about Eddie (Munson)

At first his nest would be the most confusing mix of leather, flannel and jeans - not very comfortable to lay on, but drenched in Wayne's scent, the last family he has.

Then, as he and the Hellfire boys become closer and closer, he starts incorporating their clothes too. Since none of them are omegas, he gets their best softest clothes, yes even that ugly red and blue shirt Jeff's mom gave him for the 4th of July. So now, his nest has a bit of color, a bit cush so to say...

It isn't until he's out of the hospital, body stitched back together to a semblance of human, that the nest becomes complete. The party tries to be nonchalant about it, but if Nancy lends him a pink cardigan she never gets back, and Dustin tells him he doesn't even use that scarf anymore, and Red keeps uncomfortably leaving her beanies around, he doesn't comment.

It isn't until his next pre-heat, body finally adjusting, that it happens. Until now, the only party member not overly present in his nest is Steve. Eddie tries not to mention it, nor let it get to him, but he thought they had reached some sort of friendship after the world end.

So he's sorting through his heat tapes (filled with comforting songs, that do best to calm him down when in the throes of horniness) when the door gets knocked. He sighs, irritated, wanting to just yell at whoever it is to go away and leave him be, but he takes one big breath and raises from his nest.

On the other side of the open door is Steve, with what seems to be half his house in a bag and a poorly balanced dish on his arms. He startles when he looks up at Eddie, and the dish almost falls.

"Uh..." Eddie frowns. "Heya, Stevie? Are you confused, or anything? Red's trailer is right there." He points to the newer trailer parked on the other side, twin to his own.

"Yeah, no, uh. So, the kids were saying that you're going into heat, and that's not a thing for them to talk to just anybody, and don't worry I've already told them off, but... Yeah, they were talking about how worried they were and they were planning on coming here, but I can say by experience that if one overeager pup barging into your home pre-hut... Uh, heat! Pre-heat, is already a thing of nightmares, more of them wouldn't be any better, so..."

"Stevie, you're rambling." Eddie isn't even irritated, even a lot endeared, with the way Steve seems to lose his composure and blush a pretty red that makes slick start to pool downstairs. Steve's nostrils flare, and he coughs around what sounded like a whine.

"Sorry, sorry! It's just. Here's some casserole, there's some bread in there too, you don't need to worry about making food. And here. Uh. Some, some clothes. For your nest."

Eddie gets an armful of the dish and the bag, and peering down at the contents he sees the softest cashmere sweater, wool vests, a couple of silk it seems, and even a matching sweatpants and sweatshirt. The scent of alpha, something like bread and butter and coffee and lavender, like a cozy morning of breakfast in bed, under the freshly washed sheets and covers, rises to his nose.

Eddie purrs lowly in his chest.

Steve makes a choked sound, turning Eddie's attention back to him. His face is fully and completely flushed now, his mouth is open like he's about to say something, and his eyes...

The honeyed color is almost inexistent with the size of his pupils.

Eddie's Omega preens under the attention, and he smirks.

"Well, aren't you a proper alpha, providing for his pack?" Steve's eyes get slightly unfocused, and he looks like he's about to pass out so Eddie takes some mercy on him. "Thank you so much, Stevie. It will help a lot. Maybe..." He hesitates, Steve's eyes now back to focusing on his face, standing attention to his next words. "Maybe I could treat you to a drink? Sometime? As a thank you?"

"Oh... Eddie, you don't need to..."

"But I want to!" Eddie says, more forcefully than he expected, letting the dish rest on the table right by the door and the bag fall to his feet. He takes two steps into Steve's direction before remembering himself.

"Well, then... Then okay. I will see you next week? After your heat breaks over?"

"Maybe earlier?"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah." Eddie smiles, and sees it reflected on Steve's face. His mouth is so pink and plush, his canines are a little extended for some reason, and his smile is so dreamy... Another wave of heat and slick escapes him. He'd be more shy, he thinks, but this is Steve and he's pre-heat.

"Maybe I should go, before I..."

"Okay. I'll call you when I'm ready for you to be over here, then?"

"Whenever you need me." He sounds kinda breathless when he says it, and it finally hits Eddie.

Oh.

Oh.

Eddie smiles, and steps back into the trailer, hand reaching for the doorknob.

"I'll take you up on that, big boy." Steve's eyes are twinkling, and Eddie feels a lot proud to be the one to put it there. He salutes Steve, bids him good bye and see you soon, closing the door behind him and waiting to hear the Beemer driving away.

When the car is sufficiently far, he squeals and blushes and does a little shimmy dance in the living room, then puts away the casserole and drops the bag's contents smack dab in the middle of his nest. He dives right in, burying his face on the clothes and purring to his heart's content.

This heat is shaping up to be one of the best heats ever.

Steve Harrington never expected to become a father at twenty. But when a little girl is left on his doorstep with nothing but a note and a stuffed bunny, he does the only thing he can—he holds her close and walks to the one place he knows he’ll be safe: Joyce Byers’ house.

Sometimes, family isn’t something you’re born into. Sometimes, it’s the people who show up when everything falls apart.

And sometimes, it starts with a knock on the door.

Just remembered the vague concept of a fic I had right after season 3 ended where Alexei didn’t die and they need a place to hide him. They choose Steve’s house since his parents are never home and no one would think to look there because he’s unimportant - “Thanks” - so he now has a Russian in his closet that keeps triggering his PTSD every time he talks.

[tinypandabasketballfarm]

“So, what did you think!” Eddie asked as soon as the picture of Jack Torrance at the New Years party was covered in credits.

Steve sat and thought about the movie and how he felt about it while Eddie sat next to him on the couch with the empty popcorn bowl on his lap and staring at Steve to judge his opinion.

“Yeah, I liked it. It stressed me out a lot while I was watching it, and there were some really weird scenes, but I think it was a good movie. Unsettling more than scary.”

“Yes! Exactly! There’s so much tension and build up but it doesn’t actually lead to any jump scares or anything until the Grady twins are shown murdered, and even then it’s still mostly tension for the rest of the movie.”

“The Grady sisters,” Steve said.

“Yeah, I said, the Grady twins, obviously twins are sisters.”

“No, not twins, they were sisters. It said they were 8 and 10, that’s not twins.”

Eddie groaned, “Yeah, but they were dressed alike so they’re twins.”

“The Wheelers are dressed alike in all of their Sears studio portraits but that doesn’t make them twins,” Steve snapped. 

People were always pedantic towards Steve, so he was allowed to be pedantic back. And he was allowed to be a bit of a bitch about it, in his opinion.

“I… Yeah, you’re right, I guess they aren’t actually twins. Huh. We just watched my favorite film that I’ve probably seen fifty times, and on your first ever watch of it, you corrected me on a fact about it. I think I think that’s hot? Yeah, I think I do think that’s hot,” Eddie admitted.

Steve huffed. 

“Well, you don’t sound too sure about that. I’d like people to be a bit more certain if they find me hot.”

“I mean, yeah, but you don’t want me to find you hot.” 

“Why not?” Steve asked.

“Because I’m a guy,” Eddie pointed out.

“So?”

“So,” Eddie laughed nervously. “You would be okay with a guy finding you hot?” he asked doubtfully.

“Yeah?” Steve shrugged. “I find guys hot sometimes so why would I care if a guy finds me hot in return?”

“In return?”

“In return, Eddie.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah. Now if you’re done having a meltdown over my sexuality being flexible, can we maybe make out already?”

[tinypandabasketballfarm]

Uhhh... bat Eddie?

[tinypandabasketballfarm]

Eddie is pretty shy when it comes to PDA and Steve is so endeared by this.

All it takes is Steve resting a hand on Eddie's waist and stepping a little bit closer than usual and Eddie is all blushy and stuttering.

Steve makes it his mission to make his boyfriend blush as much as he can.

[tinypandabasketballfarm]

Steve gets awful migraines as a result of the beatings he took over the years.

When it happens, he can barely leave the bed. The pain in his head is maddening, he gets nauseous, and painkillers do absolutely nothing to alleviate the pounding in his skull.

Watching his boyfriend suffer like that breaks Eddie’s heart. He keeps him company, holds Steve as he cries in pain and makes sure he at least tries to eat something, so the meds won’t hurt his stomach too.

It’s agony for both of them, but they stay together. They’ll always stay together. No matter what.

[tinypandabasketballfarm]

When Steve was a kid sleeping over at Tommy’s house, he would periodically check in with Tommy’s parents to make sure they (1) still liked him, (2) didn’t want him to go home, and (3) didn’t think he was being loud and annoying.

Very clearly things someone (his parents) had said to him so Tommy’s parents always patiently reminded him that they (1) love him, (2) love when he’s here, (3) think he’s no louder than their boys and he’s definitely not annoying.

He kinda grows out of it as he got older but it always comes back when those boys were up to no good.

Maria Hagan is in her kitchen, scrubbing mud out of one of her son’s cleats when she hears the front door open and then ease shut. Tommy calls in a very measured voice that they’re back from a school friend’s birthday party and are going to bed. This is followed by - “Steve, don’t-“

It’s really the only warning she gets before Steve is next to her, thirteen and smelling like he swam in a pool of beer. She opens her arms and he falls into a hug, asking, “Are you mad at me?”

“Of course not, sweetie,” She tells them, giving Tommy a look when he reluctantly comes into the room. “But you’re grounded. Both of you.”

Maria watches her fifteen year old and his friends act suspicious at the family reunion they’re hosting, disappear, and come back red-eyed and giggly. Ten minutes later, her husband comes up to her and informs her that the kids are high, “Steve asked if I was disappointed in him.”

“Did you say yes?” She asks and gets only silence back. She wouldn’t have been able to say yes either. It doesn’t stop her from calling her husband a, “Coward.”

There’s a fallout in Tommy’s friend group and one less mouth at her kitchen table. She tries not to let it feel like she’s lost a son.

Life goes on. A couple years go by. And then she’s walking out into the emergency room lobby to alert Eddie Munson’s family that he’s going to surgery and - “Steve?”

“Oh, uh. Hi, Mrs Hagan.”

She ignores that he hasn’t called her that since he was five years old because there are cuts on his neck, bruises. He’s dirty and bleeding. She says, “Sweetie…”

And it’s all she needs to say before she has her arms full of dirty teenager. He squeezes her tight, shoulders shaking, asking, “Do you hate me?”

She hugs him right back, “Never.”

[tinypandabasketballfarm]

Eddie fidgeted with his tie, his mind racing with worst-case scenarios. Steve had been out late a lot lately, always with some vague excuse about "work" or " errands." Eddie tried to brush it off, knowing Steve would never cheat on him. But the secrecy was eating away at him.

He confided in Robin, who rolled her eyes good naturedly. "Eddie, Steve loves you. Nothing's going on. He's probably just stressed about work or something."

But Eddie couldn't shake the feeling. As the wedding day approached, his nerves only intensified. What if Steve was having second thoughts?

The day of the wedding arrived, and Eddie’s anxiety spiked. Steve was being eerily calm, almost...smug. Eddie’s doubts swirled as he exchanged vows with Steve. As they sat down at their wedding reception, he looked at Steve, and he looked nervous. Steve was looking around and checking his watch. Eddie knew he had to say something. “Steve, I—” Before he could finish the sentence, Steve got up, kissed Eddie, and said, "Be right back," before disappearing.

Eddie tried to hold back tears, but then he noticed Steve and his band entering on stage. Steve dropped the mic for a second, which made his bandmates chuckle. “Hey everyone, I just want to thank you all for coming. I’ve been taking some singing lessons for a while, and I wanted to sing this song that me and Eddie love. This one’s for you, Ed’s.”

Steve began to sing "Nothing Else Matters," and Eddie couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t help but let out a relieved laugh, and tears of joy streamed down his face as Steve’s voice soared through the lyrics. The room fell silent, and all Eddie could see was Steve, his eyes locked on his.

As Eddie watched Steve sing, he felt his doubts and fears melting away. He thought back to all the times he’d worried about Steve’s secrecy, and how he’d felt like he was losing him. But in this moment, he knew that Steve loved him, truly and deeply.

As the final notes faded away, Eddie was on his feet, applauding wildly along with the rest of the guests. Steve grinned, looking relieved and exhilarated, and strode over to Eddie, pulling him into a passionate kiss. The crowd erupted into cheers and whistles, but Eddie just melted into Steve’s arms, feeling like the luckiest man alive.

“You sneaky bastard,” he whispered, his voice shaking with emotion. “I had no idea you were taking singing lessons!”

Steve chuckled, his eyes sparkling. “I wanted it to be a surprise. I’m glad you liked it.”

Eddie laughed, his heart full. “Liked it? I loved it. You’re amazing, Stevie.”

Steve smiled, his face radiant with happiness. “You’re pretty amazing yourself, Eddie Munson.”

(I’m not sure if anyone else had this idea for Steve singing at their wedding., I couldn’t find anything)

s1 steddie for today

[tinypandabasketballfarm]

Steve spends a summer with his grandparents, learns how to knit and gets addicted to it.

He starts off small, knitting socks and scarves he then gives to all his friends. The socks are a little lumpy and the scarves way longer, or shorter, than they should be, but Steve looks so proud of them no one has the heart to say anything. They all wear their gifts anyways because Steve is so happy when he sees it.

But then he gets good. Like, really good. The socks and scarves are soft to the touch and keep the Party warm even on the coldest days of winter.

Steve knits a red beanie for Robin, because she keeps complaining about how numb her ears get when she has to walk all the way to Family Video on the days Steve is not working. He also knits a purple one for Erica when she accuses Steve of playing favorites with Robin, then a yellow one for Max and an orange one for El.

When he learns how to knit sweaters, Steve spends hours on end working until he makes at least one piece to give as a Christmas gift to each of his friends. Dustin and Eddie get two sweaters each, because they are his favorites and Steve is not ashamed to admit that.

[tinypandabasketballfarm]

Steve who just cares a lot, always ready to help other people. He's a girls' girl, but rarely does a girl believe that his kind gestures don't include some ulterior motives. Though he doesn't blame them for being suspicious, it still gives him headaches when some girls try to ask him out as a thank you or worse, accuse him of a heartbreaker when he gently turns them down.

Enter Eddie who flirts as a habit, but it works all the time since he's lowkey charming without trying to. It's not his fault that people falls for his nerdy jokes and gets offended when he shows no interest in them. As a firm believer of true love and monogamy, he finds it funny when people starts calling him a fuckboy out of spite.

And then one day, Steve and Eddie finally run into each other. A player and a player. Or so the rumors have it.

Steve doesn't think about how Eddie's gonna break his heart when he keeps giggling at the other man's jokes. Doesn't let other people's opinions cloud his judgment. Because he's experienced enough to know when someone's genuinely interested in him, and Eddie certainly seems more than hooked.

Meanwhile, Eddie's already gone the moment Steve smiles that pretty smile at him. He'll be damned if he doesn't marry this beautiful man by the end of the night.

People keeps waiting for the other shoe to drop, for the messy breakup and even messier fallout from the two local players. But they're gonna be disappointed, Eddie fears, because once he manages to make Steve his baby, he starts his wife guy career and never looks back.

[tinypandabasketballfarm]

Steve and Eddie get together post-season four but they’re so unbearably gross together that both Nancy and Robin are like, “We should have let you fuck that old man director at the asylum.”

[tinypandabasketballfarm]

Trying to think of a way for Steve to propose to Eddie using a character creation sheet.

I'm thinking it's their aniversery? Steve wants to propose but he wants to do it in a way Eddie will actually love, not some sappy normal proposal that he would tolerate but not choose for himself.

He's always been resistant to playing DnD, doing a couple of one-shots with pre-made characters just so he isn't being dismisive of Eddie's interests. It's not for him, but it's fun to do every now and then with a small group for just a couple of sessions.

He makes the kids all come over when Eddie is working so they can workshop it. Everyone brings character sheets and books and they go though so many trying to get it right. Not sure what exactly it would say, but I know the actual written proposal would be in the Ideals or bonds section with cheesy stuff like "weak for big, brown eyes" in the faults section, a ring in the equipment, and Race: Lover Boy, Class: Fiance?

Anyway, I just think it would be cute, and I know Eddie would swoon and have it framed and literally never shut up about it.
