I really hate to do this, but something really shitty happened on top of all the other stuff I mentioned in the og post, and I could really use a distraction right about now. Let me start by saying that I’m not trying to guilt or pressure anyone into inviting me, but I’m wondering if there are any (preferably) 30+ Steddie Discord servers out there that I could join? I also want to clarify that I’m not looking for a place to trauma dump or whatever. I haven’t interacted much with people on Steddie Tumblr/Twitter because I’m kind of an introvert and also not used to shipping such a popular pairing in a large fandom. I’m just a lurker by nature, I guess, but there are so many cool people on here and I just want to hang out with other shippers. Just to reiterate, I’m not looking for someone to act as a therapist or anything of the sort. I simply want to have some fun and chat with like-minded people.

If you happen to know of a server that fits the bill, could you please DM me the link? I would really appreciate it. 💛

Thanks for taking the time to read this, haha. 🙈🙉

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but my posting pattern has been all over the place lately, and the majority of the fics are one-shots, but I want to reassure anyone who is worried that I might abandon the blog. I have no plans to stop posting or anything. I've just been preoccupied with other things, but my love for this ship hasn't faded. I'll still try to post every now and then while reading the occasional one-shot when the mood strikes.

TMI version:

In a couple of weeks, it's been a year since my dad passed away from pancreatic cancer and it's in the same week as my birthday of course. So it's been hard to deal with. I still can't believe a whole year has gone by since we lost him and I need to focus on myself for a little bit while also being there for my mom.

On a somewhat happier note - I've been working on my own fic! I haven't posted anything in 7 years so when the creative juices started flowing I just ended up hyper-focusing on writing in true ADHD fashion. It's been a lot of fun, to be honest, and it's been a great distraction from everything that's been brewing under the surface. But! There's always a but, haha. This, combined with the sudden change in weather, triggered a hypomanic episode so I'm still recovering from that. Anyway, I have no idea if I'll ever finish writing this fic, but I'm determined to just enjoy the ride while it lasts.

So, once again, just to be clear - I'm not going anywhere. You guys are stuck with me for a while longer and on the off-chance that my obsession suddenly goes away, I will still keep the blog up.

If you got this far, thank you for being awesome! Whoever you are, I hope you have a great day. I'm gonna go to a BBQ with my mom and aunt.

Talking The Talk (The Insidious Implications of Decorative Handcuffs)

by Oonionchiver

Rating: Explicit Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationship: Steve Harrington/Eddie MunsonA Additional Tags: BDSM, Eddie Talking A Big Talk, Steve Then Expecting Him To Walk The Walk, Eddie Panicking, Smutty goodness, Blood Kink, Spit Kink, Rough Sex, Hair Pulling, Bondage, Humor, A Slutty Misunderstanding, Or Eddie Just Flat Out Lying, steve is a darling, Gift Fic, I don't need to warn for ANYTHING except these tags omg, no wait, Daddy Kink, piercing kink, Fuck We Almost Made It, oh well, Loss of Virginity Words: 7,447 Chapters: 1/1

Summary

Eddie’s in trouble. The problem is, his way out of trouble is usually to front some more, swagger harder, lay the charm on real thick. None of these are deterrents to Steve Harrington. The deeper he digs, the more Steve tells him he likes dirt. Or Eddie Munson talks a big talk but actually knows nothing about BDSM, has never had sex, never even been kissed. Maybe he should have told Steve that.

I'm sorry about your dad, and I'm glad you're taking time for yourself and that you're writing. You deserve it. ❤️ Thank you for the work you do with this account! It's very appreciated.

Thank you, that's sweet of you to say. 💖 I appreciate you too!

Summary

“Shut the fuck up. No you did not.” Eddie’s, admittedly, shocked by the reaction. Steve had asked for a leather jacket. Okay, maybe not outright asked, but he’d mentioned it at least once a week for the last four months.

Summary

“Here we go again,” Robin states matter-of-factly, turning her head to glance at the wall they share with their neighbor’s apartment. A very much non-soundproof wall. It keeps happening, like clockwork, every Saturday night, sometime between 10pm and midnight. It’s a different voice every time. They only have two things in common: one, they are always guys, and two… they are loud. “Okay, there’s just no way this guy’s that good,” Steve comments with a wince. (Narrator voice) This guy is, in fact, that good.

One morning Eddie's not alone though.

Summary

Steve sputters, his cheeks going pink, before blurting, “Ahoy, Eddie. Would you like to set sail on this ocean of flavor with me? I’ll be your captain.” There’s a beat of silence between them, during which Eddie surreptitiously pinches his thigh to make sure he’s not dreaming and Steve’s face turns an alarming shade of cherry red. “Oh my god,” Eddie finally exhales, “are you serious right now?” He splays his hands out on the counter and leans toward Steve with a shit-eating grin. “Captain Steve—well it certainly has a ring to it.” Five times Eddie sees Steve in his Scoops Ahoy uniform, and one time he sees him out of it.

Two days after Starcourt, concussed and beaten, Steve has a seizure. As a consequence of getting his head smashed in one too many times, he loses more than his car. He has to give up on the one thing he felt like he was good for: driving his friends around and making sure they're safe while he's behind the wheel. He isolates himself from his friends and the world he has no place or purpose in anymore, and it takes a year before people realise it. An intervention is in order. You know, once the world has been saved.

“I’m glad you came.” Steve said, seemingly feeling a bit more confident in the situation. He popped his hip out a bit and leaned one arm against the doorframe in a calculatedly casual way. A charming smile spread across his lips, inviting. Heat spread through Eddie’s stomach, but he chalked it up to the alcohol. Eddie said, unimpressed, “Really Harrington? This again?” The other boy's expression faltered, smile falling from his lips. Eddie continued, gesticulating wildly with his hands, joint burning as it flounced through the air, “The song and dance isn’t necessary, you know. You can just ask to buy something like everyone else. Flattery doesn’t get you a discount– not with me.” Or, Steve asks Eddie to deal at his New Years Eve Party.
