Eddie Munson vibes

[vesselforsatin]

Imagine if Corroded Coffin got popular and over the years they released a shit ton of music. But one year they came out with a metal Christmas album. All of the songs going hard and exactly what everyone expected. Except, the last song was Not metal.

The cover of Santa Baby was more stripped down then the rest and Eddie put so much sexual tension in his singing that everyone is freaking out about it. He doesn't change the words of the song and people just think it's his dramatics.

But then they post a music video for Santa Baby. And instead of one of the Corroded Coffin boys in the Santa outfit, it's some guy no one recognizes. Eddie dances around the guy, and it's the gayest thing anyone's seen.

And well, only their close family recognize it as Steve, Eddie's (illegal) husband.n

And I just about snapped, don’t look back. Every lover’s got a little dagger in their hand.

I started writing this for Valentines Day, but my health and job got in the way of me finishing it. It's way too late to finish this. At least for htis year. So I’m posting what I did get done for my Steddie Valentine’s Day fic. The idea was supposed to be that Eddie is a secret romantic and wants someone to express it all to. And he's had a thing for Steve for years because I love the headcanon. They end up spending Valentines Day together and Eddie romances/woos Steve the way he deserves. Maybe next year I'll finish it. But for now, this is an unfinished fic that's just Eddie pining. And I thought of these two lines, which had to be written:

“Isn't it against the laws of metal to be romantic?” Steve asked with a teasing grin.

“I don’t think so. I think it’s metal as fuck to be emotionally vulnerable with someone you’re into and to treat them with the romance they deserve.”

So enjoy under the cut!

(Also I haven't written anything that wasn't academic in forever. Please be kind)

Eddie would never admit it out loud, but he secretly yearned to let out all of the romantic fantasies inside his head. He maintained his cynical appearance on the outside. It paired with the rest of this aesthetic and it kept him safe. But deep down, Eddie was a giant softie. He craved affection and love. He wore his heart on his sleeve and everyone close to him knew it. So when Steve Harrington came barreling into his life and then refused to leave, Eddie's secret romantic desires reached an all time high. How could they not when Steve was so kind and caring? He had a dorky sense of humor that made Eddie crack up even when the jokes were lame. He was smart in a way that differed from the genius teenagers they surrounded themselves with, and picked things apart in a way that fascinated Eddie. And of course, he was the most beautiful man Eddie had ever seen.

He remembered freshman Steve Harrington, with his church boy clothes and shy smile. He was too cute not to catch Eddie's eye. Steve continued to catch Eddie's eye even as he transformed into the king of Hawkins High. Even when his shy smile had become a confident smirk, Eddie thought Steve was cute. Then Steve's fall from grace happened. His hair started to grow out. He spent most the fall wearing sunglasses to hide the ugly bruises on his face. He started wearing sweaters that looked soft Eddie reached out to touch without even thinking. Luckily, one of the guys were usually there to smack his hand away when Eddie's impulse control failed him. Then summer came and Eddie thought he'd seen the last of Steve Harrington. He walked into Scoops only one time before the mall blew up. Seeing Steve in a tight, short sailor suit was too much for Eddie. Especially when Steve turned around and Eddie noticed how pink his lips were. And were those highlights in his hair? Robin told him once how beat up Steve was when Starcourt exploded, but Eddie thought he'd still think Steve was beautiful. He certainly did when Steve was caked in mud, smelled like a sewer, and was borderline bleeding out. He was sure he admitted something like that in his delirium as Steve and Nancy dragged his body out of the Upside Down. But no other phase of Steve Harrington compared to the current one.

Maybe it was because Eddie finally knew Steve and didn't just have to admire from afar. Maybe it was because Eddie finally knew what it felt like to have those beautifully expressive hazel eyes focus solely on him. He now knew firsthand how caring and soft Steve could be, even when he was in pain himself. He also delighted to see that the bitchy side of Steve still existed and could demolish a person with just a few words partnered with a glare. That and Steve's protectiveness was what kept Eddie safe the first few months he started appearing in public again. Unfortunately, it made Eddie's longtime crush develop into full on love. Which made him act like a total idiot and flirt non-stop. And no matter how smooth Eddie tried to be, he'd start tripping over his words the second Steve smiled or laughed. He'd lay awake at night and try to plan how he'd flirt with Steve. He'd eventually fall asleep to the thought of showering Steve with the affection pent up inside of him and domestic fantasies that felt so out of reach. Eddie was both a hopeless romantic and just hopeless in general, but he was determined. In the weeks leading up to Valentine's Day he'd walked up to Steve with all the confidence he could muster, flirt for a while, and then chicken out before asking him out. Afterwards, he'd wallow in his misery while Robin rolled her eyes while patting him on the back. She finally snapped a few days before Valentine's Day and declared herself his wingman because in her words, "It's honestly embarrassing at this point. This is for the greater good and my own sanity." Eddie was just happy for any help he could get.

So I am going to post that very late Valentine’s Day fic at some point. Sorry it’s taken so long. I just started a new job and I’m adjusting to the schedule and finding time to do everything else

Eddie thinks that Nancy and Steve are getting back together. He sees their heads pressed together and laughing while smiling at each other. Wayne comes home to find Eddie laying on the floor and blasting “Jolene” on repeat. He goes about his business while his nephew sings the lyrics into the rug in between mumbled curses at the concept of love.

Turns out Steve and Nancy are not getting back together. They were actually bonding how hot they think Sigourney Weaver is and giggling about how she reminds them of their respective crushes. Eddie finds this out after Wayne calls Nancy to come talk some sense into him after the fourteenth repeat of “I Will Always Love You.”

Is it too late to post a very late Valentine’s Day fic? I meant to get it done earlier but life got in the way. I have no problem reading holiday fics well past the date, but I don’t know where others stand. Is there still any interest?

[vesselforsatin]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

[vesselforsatin]

Hey Valentine, want to go Steddie?

[vesselforsatin]

Currently working on a steddie Valentine’s Day post and it’s devolved into waxing poetic about Steve Harrington’s beauty

[vesselforsatin]

Eddie will occasionally drop a “bless your heart” and it just devastates whoever it’s aimed out. That phrase has so much power

He also uses, “have you forgotten yourself,” because Wayne asks that at least once a week

Phrases regularly used by Steve harrington

That’ll fix your wagon

Put that in your pipe and smoke it

Cool beans

Pardon my French but…(continues with the most bitchy and scathing comment)

Don’t touch what you can’t afford

Where’s the beef?

Take a chill pill

[vesselforsatin]

It’s understandable to be so distracted. He’s mastered the sad puppy eyes and he’s so expressive with them. We’re all too caught up in his breath taking beauty to fully register his eye color. Also he has those lips and that hair and all the moles. But hopefully now the hazel eye agenda can be spread

After all the steddie and Steve Harrington content that I have consumed since July, how am I just now noticing that Joe Keery’s eyes are hazel?

How many fics have I read where Steve has brown eyes? And how much have I also described Steve having brown eyes? But nope. I’ve zoomed on so many pictures and this man has hazel eyes

[vesselforsatin]

I was just looking at pictures but it’s pretty obvious when you look closely. Especially in bright lights like these two:

They definitely change with lighting and probably just day to day. My brother has green eyes that do the same thing, but it’s pretty obvious that his eyes aren’t brown when compared so my super dark brown eyes.

You can seen even under the fluorescent mall lighting in season 3:

We were all too distracted by the Scoops uniform, lipgloss, mascara, and highlights to clock it. The lighting also definitely comes into play because Maya Hawke has super blue eyes but they look so dark in the show. Which makes sense since so much of it takes place at night or in a hell dimension with no sun.
