Needing a fic where it’s the other way around and Buck is the only one to get trapped/get the infection. Recommendations welcome 🙏

[wompwomp56]

The fact that Chris just got his dad back, only for Buck to lose his.

In tears.

Absolutely hating what the new 9-1-1 episode meant for buddie. Obviously I’m missing Bobby (him never knowing abt buddie may be the end of me) but I will miss him for other reasons too. Anyway whatever look Tommy was giving Buck when Bobby died PLS GET AWAY. YOUR TIME WAS MEANT TO BE IVER AGES AGO. anyway going back to cry bc what is Buck gonna do without his dad. it’s scary what happens to people without father figures 😞💔

[wompwomp56]

I read this Steddie fic ages ago (on ao3) where Steve’s parents died (in a car crash?) and he like hides it from the party and it was suuuper angsty. I can’t really remember much else/how it ended but if anyone can find it again i will be forever grateful 🙏🙏🙏

Sometimes I forget that Steve isn’t canonically bisexual

I’ve been thinking a lot abt fanfiction (as one does) and I came to an interesting realisation. I’m gonna talk abt this is terms of lotr but I assume there’s more than just this example. Take Frodo and Sam. This is a ship so widely known, my parents were the ones who originally pointed it out to me. Per my mum’s saying “can we please skip over the homoerotic forest scenes they’re so boring”. Even Sean Astin (Sam’s actor) famously says “I think Sam and Frodo should’ve kissed… how do you know they didn’t. All this to say is that there’s a lot less talk about Thorin and Bilbo in wider audiences. Like most people either don’t notice it or simply disagree, not because of homophobia or anything, just because it’s a less plausible ship. now you’d think because of Frodo and Sam’s popularity they would have massive amounts of fanfiction written abt them (at least I did), but when I went looking I was pretty surprised. On ao3 Frodo Baggins/Sam Gmagee only has just over 3,000 works compared to almost 14,000 under Bilbo Baggins/Thorin Oakenshield. Maybe I’m thinking too much abt it but I just think it’s so interesting that a popular ship, one that is essentially accepted as canon, has so little fandom surrounding it. My theory to this is that because Frodo and Sam (Frosam?idk) is basically canon it doesn’t need that fan culture, and when a ship does become canon it loses a lot of the appeal. For example in 9-1-1, Buck and Eddie is a much more popular ship than Buck and Tommy (obviously bc Eddie has been around longer) but I also think it’s because people are naturally drawn to the tension and mystery of the will they won’t they (or complete delusion). it’s a similar thing with Steve and Eddie in Stranger Things, like it’s never going to happen but that’s what makes it so good. I also think this is why jegulus has become so popular over time. The fact that ships aren’t canon means that the fandom has so much room for headcanons, au’s, canon divergence and general creativity within the space. So as much as I want/wouldve liked Buddie or Bagginshield to go canon I wouldn’t be mad if they didn’t (Ik there’s no hope for Bagginshield I’m just making a point). I love the sheer amount of creativity and difference within these spaces because of their ambiguity in canon, and even though I do live Frodo and Sam their (essentially canon) relationship has really limited their fandom, especially in fanfiction. I will say that all fan edits of Frodo and Sam are immaculate though, not limited at all by this theory. thanks for reading my yap, I would love to hear thoughts.

AU where after a fight with his dad, Steve’s entire life implodes when he’s told that Hopper is his real father.

This just wrecks Steve. He knows that his dad is disappointed in him and that he has to work harder to make him proud, but to find out that it was impossible? That the reason it felt like his dad hated him was because he did? And - and Hopper hates him too?

It never occurs to Steve that maybe Hopper didn’t know. All he can think about is how easy it was for Hopper to adopt El, so it’s not that he didn’t want kids. He just didn’t want Steve in his life.

He doesn’t tell anyone about it for a long time - not even Robin - and then one day blurts it out. To Callahan.

Callahan says, “You know, Hopper is like a father-figure to me so-“

“Hopper is my father.”

And then Steve just breaks down in tears and Callahan thinks to himself that there was probably a better way to start off telling this kid to stop trespassing.

someone pls show me to some good pre season 3 steddie fics, I gotta prep my delusions before season 5

[wompwomp56]

Thinking about the inherent romance of Jesper guiding Genya in recreating Wylan's face. The fact that he's able to say "this is a face that I loved so much, and so instantly, that I'm able to recite its details from memory despite not having seen it for weeks". WHO DOES THAT.

Someone pls write this as a full fic 🙏

Pre season 3 au where Steve suffers from migraines and nightmares so he seeks out Eddie for weed so he can finally get some sleep. Eddie, wary at first, eventually takes pity on the guy and they strike up and unlikely friendship. Things basically follow canon, maybe looking into Steve and Dustin’s friendship and Steve dealing post Nancy breakup. Anyway eventually we get to Star Court and Scoops (again canon compliant) except when Steve and Robin escapes from the movies to go have their bathroom conversation, Eddie (who was also there just watching the movie or smt) sees and follows them. And high Steve is like “omg Eddie I’m so happy to see you love you omg”. Meanwhile Eddie is just super confused because, why is Steve high? None of the drugs Eddie has given him are this strong? Has he got a new dealer? Why wouldn’t he tell me? And also: wtaf happened to his face? Essentially Eddie gets really scared for Steve and tries to get him to leave the mall and go to the hospital but Steve isn’t making sense and keeps saying “no no I gotta stay the kids need me”. Eddie hasn’t met the kids yet and this just makes him more confused. Then high Steve decides he wants to kiss Eddie and so he does and then Eddie is even more confused (not mad abt it just confused). Steve suddenly realises that if Eddie stays he’ll get mixed up with all the Upside Down shit and so to protect Eddie he yells at him to leave etc.

Eddie is now extra confused cause to him it looks like Steve kissed him then got mad at him for kissing (eg he thinks he’s homophobic or smt) and so Eddie leaves confused, angry and still worried. Canon timeline again for a while, Steve has started to get panic attacks whenever he gets high (with weed from Eddie before they still haven’t talked) because of the Russians and so naturally he stops getting drugs from Eddie. He still thinks they’ll hang out tho cause they’re best friends. Anyway eventually Steve’s like: “hey I haven’t seen Eddie in a while I wonder what’s up with that?” And he happens to run into him when picking the kids up from Hellfire. Steve is so happy to see Eddie meanwhile Eddie gives him the cold shoulder. The whole time Dustin has been insisting that Eddie and Steve would get along not knowing that they were already friends and had had a falling out. It goes on like this for a while, Eddie being lowkey mean cause he thinks Steve hates him cause he’s gay and then Steve’s being nice but confused bc “wtaf did I do to this man”

Eventually things come to a head idk I’m thinking Steve goes over to Max’s place to check up on her cause she’s been withdrawing from the kids and Eddie just sees Steve knocking on her door and he assumes Steve is harassing her and goes and confronts him. Steve is like wdym man I’m just checking up on my friend while max stands there like 🧍‍♂️… hey. This leads to Steve asking “what did I do to piss u off so bad, tell me so I can make it better. The last time I saw you was in like June” and Eddies like “no the last time we saw each other was July 4th” Steve’s like “wdym man, I was at that fire in Star Court if you were there then that means…” then Steve remembers what happened and is like oh fuck. He start’s apologising cause he assumes Eddie’s mad he kissed him. More miscommunication ensues. Not sure how this would end but either season 4 happens and Eddie lives and they work their shit out or they actually talk it out but who knows. Thanks for reading, if anyone has any recs or wants to write this PLS let me know xx

jayce enduring a symbolic rendition of viktor's trauma is so painful and so, so clever.

being stricken down and immobilized through sheer accident or, in viktor's case, a cruelly random quirk that caused his disability.

then physically dragging himself from the lowest level of zaun to piltover, much like how viktor spent his youth reaching toward the promise piltover offered, but only if he could "pull himself up by the boot straps" and get there on his own. socioeconomic forces working against him be damned.

i appreciate arcane reminding us of viktor's origins - the reason he is so called to help people and, eventually, save himself - and putting jayce through the ringer - the contrast between he and viktor's lived experiences is front and center throughout season 1. the writers send jayce, and the audience, on a grueling journey to contemplate those experiences and how they've manifested in these intertwined characters.
