STRANGE-MAS DAY 4 | Steve Harrington x Byers!Reader
Summary: Steve drives all the way to California to surprise his girlfriend for Christmas
Word count: 0.7k
Request: Surprise guest with Steve please?
A/N: I completely forgot to post this in December...I’m sorry
Tumblr media
— 
This year would be your first Christmas away from Hawkins — away from Steve — and your first Christmas as a big family. It was also El's first Christmas, so your mother wanted to do things big and give her the best first Christmas she could.
Jonathan had gotten a decent-sized tree for the living room — a fake one since California trees are expensive —, Will had painted special baubles with everyone's name on them to personalize the tree, and Joyce had spent all of her free time in the kitchen, cooking and working her ass off to unfreeze the turkey in time for Christmas dinner. After three hours, she was still hard as a rock.
‘’I don’t get it. The woman at the grocery store said if I put it in cold water it would unfreeze fast,’’ Joyce complained with confusion and frustration, poking at her turkey.
‘’We can eat it tomorrow, Mom. It’s fine,’’ you told her, trying to relieve the pressure and stress she put on herself for this holiday. ‘’Jonathan can pick us a pizza and—’’
‘’No!’’ your mother interrupted. ‘’It’s Christmas Eve. We will eat turkey for dinner.’’
You didn’t say anything in return, the combination of stress and self-infliges pressure playing with her patience. Now you know where you got your stubbornness from.
‘’El and I will make the cookies while you work with the turkey,’’ you said, calling El over to help you.
Decorating cookies was your favorite Christmas tradition — beside decorating the tree, of course. You’ve always made them by yourself, but now that El lived with you, you can continue the tradition with her. She wasn’t very great at the decorating part, but she was a cookie cutting expert.
‘’The icing on mine is all wobbly and…bad looking,’’ El said, comparing her cookies to yours.
‘’They’re made with love and that’s all that matters,’’ Joyce told her with a motherly smile, still struggling with her turkey.
‘’I don’t think anyone will care what they look like when they eat them,’’ you added with full honesty. ’’My cookies didn’t look good when I started either. You’re doing great, El.’’
She smiled, taking a knife-full of blue icing for her snowflake shaped cookie. ‘’Thanks. Do you think I could keep some for Mike? He is coming on the 27th—’’
The brunette was cut mid sentence by the doorbell ringing through the house, causing all of you to frown. You weren't expecting anyone.
‘’Jonathan, Will! Can one of you get the door, we’re all busy,’’ you called to your brothers.
None of them moved a finger, watching Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch stole Christmas on the couch.
With a sigh and flour on your pants, you abandoned your and El’s cookie decorating station and went to the door. When you opened it, you thought you were hallucinating. Standing before you, in a red sweater and tight jeans, was Steve Harrington, coming all the way from Hawkins to surprise you.
You were too stunned to speak as your eyes filled with tears. He had called you a week ago to tell you that there were no plane tickets available in time for Christmas and that he was working on New Year's eve and therefore couldn’t come.
‘’Merry Christmas, my love,’’ Steve said with a grin, breaking the silence.
With blurry eyes, you threw your arms around him and Steve caught you with ease, hugging you tightly. God, you had missed him.
You hadn’t seen him since you moved out of Hawkins in late July. You spoke on the phone many times, but it wasn’t the same as seeing him — or touching him. The hoodie and shirt you had stolen from him no longer smelled of Steve. Only of you.
‘’You're really here?’’ you murmured into your boyfriend’s shoulder, clinging to him for dear life.
Steve hummed, tightening his hold to prove he was real. ‘’It was the longest car ride of my life, but seeing you at the finishing line makes it more bearable.’’
It was cheesy, but you missed him so terribly that you didn’t care. You were just unbelievably happy that your boyfriend was here, in California.
He put you down and you pulled him inside the house, closing the door with a bang. ‘’Mom! Mom, come here!’’ Everyone’s ears were probably hurting from how loud you were, but you couldn’t contain your excitement.

STRANGE-MAS DAY 2 | Steve Harrington x Henderson!Reader
Summary: When crossing states to go home for the holidays, you and Steve get caught in a snowstorm
Word count: 1k
Request: Can I get snowed in and there’s only one bed with Steve and being Dustin's sister? Maybe they stop at a motel because the roads are closed. Please and thank you
A/N I usually don’t like overly cliché tropes, but this one is one of my favorites.
Tumblr media
‘’Danger of a snowstorm. Stay inside until further notice,’’ the radio host warned its audience, but it was already too late. You and Steve were right in the middle of the snowstorm.
‘’We can’t see shit,’’ Steve stated, looking ahead and only seeing white.
You rolled your eyes. ‘’Thanks Sherlock. I didn’t see the snow.’’
Steve glared at you, sitting stiff in the driver's seat and gripping the steering wheel tightly. Right now wasn’t the time to play smart-ass, but you were stressed and you can’t control what comes out of your mouth when under stress.
You stuck your hands into your pockets to keep warm and prayed the snow would slow down…but it didn’t. The snow was falling more and more every hour and, combined with the icy roads, it wasn't a good mix.
‘’I think we should take the next exit and stop at a motel, stay until the snow calms—’’
You whipped your head in Steve’s direction, immediately opposing. ‘’We can’t. If I don’t make it home tonight, my mom will worry and you know how much of a worrier she is. Remember that time Dustin disappeared for two days? She was hysterically crying and thinking he had died when he had just forgot to call and tell her he was spending the weekend at Mike’s.’’
Your brother really was an idiot sometimes. He had come home and asked if someone died, sending your mom in another crying fit.
‘’It’s the middle of December and the next two states we have to cross are in a snowstorm, she’ll understand we got stuck in the snow.’’
You shook your head. ‘’No. She’ll jump to conclusions and think we got into an accident or froze to death on the highway. We can’t stop, Steve.’’
Steve sighed, driving past the exit. He didn’t want to worry Mrs. Henderson. ‘’Alright. I’ll try to make it.’’
Half an hour later, you spotted dreaded orange lights.
Your stomach sank. Oh no. This was not a good sign.
Steve stopped the car and rolled down his window, knowing what was coming.
''Sorry, Sir. The road is closed due to the weather,'' a policeman informed, a bright flashlight in his hand.
''That's understandable. Do you know when the road will open back up?'' Steve asked, wincing when the wind blew snowflakes right in his face through the opened window.
The man shook his head. ''Unfortunately, no. The lineup is immobilized as of now and will be until the snowstorm calms. You can turn around and try to get to the nearest motel I can’t promise there is still rooms left.''
''I understand. Thank you, Sir.'' Steve rolled the window back up, swatting at the snow that had slipped inside while it was open.
''I guess we’re stuck here until the snow dies down,’’ you sighed.
Steve turned to you, wishing he had something positive to tell you. ‘’Yeah… So, shall we go to the motel? We can try to ring your mom there so she knows where you are and doesn’t worry?''
You nodded.
You finally found the motel the policeman was talking about — it was a challenge with the snow — and Steve volunteered to go in and check if they had rooms left. The motel was one of those cheap ones that looked like they hadn't been renovated since the 1930s, but you didn’t have another choice. Hopefully the rooms have a heater and hot water. Your feet are freezing in your boots and your nose is so cold it’s numb.
‘’Good news,’’ Steve began when he returned, sitting back in the driver seat. ‘’They have a room left, but…’’
You gave him a look, expecting him to go on with the bad news. ‘’But?’’
‘’It only has one bed.’’
One bed was better than nothing, you told yourself. Besides, it was Steve. He’s taken you home to your dorm when drunk enough times to know he was a good guy.
After parking the car on the other end of the parking lot, you and Steve brought your bags inside the motel room. An horrid smell of cigarette enveloped you and stung your nose the second you stepped in.
You covered your mouth and nose with your hand. ‘’Hopefully the snow stops soon because this cigarette smell is disgusting.’’
Steve could only agree. He used to smoke so he was used to the smell, but this was nasty.
Luckily, there was a thermostat so you bumped it all the way to warm up. There was heat in Steve’s car, but these things never work properly. While the room warmed up, you took the phone and called your mom to let her know of your impromptu stop.
The whole situation in itself was frustrating and stressful. It's unknown how long you'll be stuck for. It could be hours or it could be days. You prayed it wouldn't be the latter. You would be missing Christmas with your family and, as much as your brother was a little shit sometimes, Christmas without him would be really sad.
Speaking to your mom brought tears to your eyes. You haven’t seen her since late August when you left for college. You missed her so much. You wiped them away, but Steve saw you and came to sit next to you on the bed.
‘’Shh. Don’t cry.’’ He wrapped an arm around your shoulders and pulled you in a small hug. He knew he couldn’t fix Christmas, but he wanted to more than anything. ‘’We’re stuck here for Christmas eve, but I’ll try to make it for Christmas. Just…please don’t cry. I hate it when you cry.’’
It made you want to cry harder. Steve wasn’t the douchebag people thought he was. He wasn’t the façade that most people couldn’t see past. When you really get to know him, he's caring, protective and stupidly brave.
‘’The situation could’ve been worse. We could be in a ditch somewhere, the car getting more and more covered in snow because of the snowstorm and…and died there because no one would’ve seen us under all that snow.’’
You laughed softly. ‘’You’re an idiot, Steve Harrington,’’ you said, allowing yourself to absorb the comfort of his embrace.
Maybe Christmas Eve won’t be so bad.

STRANGE-MAS DAY 3 | Eddie Munson x Henderson!Reader
Summary: It’s the first fall of snow of the season. You, Eddie and the party have a snowball fight 
Word count: 0.7k
Request: Can I request snowball fight with eddie?
Tumblr media
— 
  Who said there’s an age limit for a snowball right?
The first fall of snow was falling in Hawking and Eddie and Dustin had bolted from the couch and challenged each other into a snowball fight, completely forgetting about the movie you were watching. Dustin's winter hat was barely fitting over his curly hair and Eddie's leather jacket and thick flannel combo was not weather appropriate, but it didn't stop them.
‘’Shit shit shit.’’ Your brother ran across the lawn, trying to avoid Eddie’s snowballs as the latter laughed an evil laugh.
‘’I’m gonna get you, Henderson!’’ Eddie yelled, his voice echoing through the quiet of the night.
Dustin found a hiding spot behind the trashcans and rapidly started packing munitions. He was not going to go down without a fight.
‘’You can’t stay hidden all night,’’ Eddie taunted, tossing his snowball in the air and catching it, waiting for Dustin to come out. ‘’Come out, come out!’’
Dustin tossed one of his snowballs over the trashcans, using them as shields, but Eddie dodged the ball before he swung back to throw another one at his friend. Eddie’s throws were much stronger than Dustin’s for obvious reasons, but Dustin was giving his all into the snowball fight.
You watched them from the porch, loving how competitive they were at 7pm on a Sunday. Claudia was at her weekly bookclub meeting and won’t be back until an hour. Had she been there, no snowballs would have been tossed.
Unsurprisingly, Dustin was using strategy while Eddie was just making snowballs one by one. Despite being better at throwing them, your brother’s strategy was going to lead him to his victory. Just to mess with him, you took advantage of your Dustin’s full attention being on Eddie to gather a ball of snow. You grinned playfully, tossing the freshly made snowball Dustin’s direction. It hit his shoulder.
His mouth dropped open while Eddie laughed, his deer-in-the-headlights expression turning into betrayal. ‘’What the hell? We’re family. Family sticks together!’’
You shrugged and joined Eddie on his side, throwing more balls at Dustin.
The teams were unfairly uneven, so you called a time-out and Dustin used his walkie talkie to call for backups. Soon enough, Lucas, Erica, Mike and Max turned up in their winter gears, ready to throw snowballs. In no time, snowballs were flying and laughter was echoing in the usually quiet street.
You teamed up with Max and Erica, leaving the boys with Eddie. The numbers were uneven again, but three against four was better than one against two.
Max and Erica were relentless, packing snowballs at speed lighting and throwing them skillfully at the opposing team. So far, Max had touched Mike three times, Eddie once, Dustin two and Lucas once. Erica was constantly aiming at Lucas until she hit him square in the forehead and sent him down.
She laughed and high-fived you and Max.
‘’We have a man down, I repeat, we have a man down,’’ Dustin said to his teammates.
You were so focussed on Lucas and laughing that you didn’t hear Eddie sneaking and stepping carefully behind you, the snow helping to keep his steps quiet. Your amusement died when he put snow in your jacket, making you scream at the cold and wet snow melting down your back.
His familiar evil laugh filled your ears and you whirled around, running after him.
Knowing your shorter legs would not be enough to run past him, you jumped on his back, but slipped on wet grass and brought Eddie to the ground with you. The impact would have hurt a lot more if Eddie hadn’t been in front of you, taking the brunt of the fall.
He groaned from under you and you moved so he could turn on his back. There was snow in his hair and his cheeks were a tint of red from the biting cold. ‘’Cheater,’’ Eddie accused, looking up at you.
‘’Says the one who put snow in my jacket,’’ you fired back, still shivering from the melted snow.
Eddie laughed, his brown eyes sparkling as snow fell on his face and lashes. He was so beautiful in the snow. You leaned down, face inches from Eddie’s, but before you got to kiss him, you felt a snowball hit the back of your shoulder.
‘’Stop distracting our best thrower!’’ you heard Dustin call, ‘’the game is not over.’’

12 DAYS OF STRANGEMAS
Tumblr media
Since it's almost December❄️, let's get in the holiday spirit! I present to you the ☃️🎄12 DAYS OF STRANGE-MAS🎄☃️!! For this event, I will be doing dialogues and themes lists (see down below).

I will be accepting requests starting from the day this post is up until December 15th and posting will go from December 20th until December 31st. All you have to do is send a character with a dialogue and/or theme to my ask
🌟 In total, the event will have twelve posts (one every day at 9pm). Some will be in blurbs format (100-500 words) and some in full fics format. 
🌟 For the occasion only, I will be adding Nancy, Chrissy and Jonathan to my list of characters (Eddie, Steve, Robin and Billy) and strictly platonic option with the younger kids (Max, Dustin, etc) and adults (Hopper, Joyce, etc) where you can be a sibling or someone’s daughter 
🌟 Smut is allowed, but I won’t be writing only that. See my list of subjects I will not be writing about

‘’You didn’t really think I’d let you spend Christmas alone, did you?’’
‘’I love and adore kids, but I swear, if your cousins kicks my seat one more time, I am gonna use words outside of their vocabulary.’’
‘’Don’t let my mom get to your head.’’ 
‘’What do you mean you've never decorated a Christmas tree?’’
‘’You’re my family now.’’
‘’Did you put the mistletoe here just so you had an excuse to kiss me?’’
‘’I usually hate the holiday season, but it’s a little more bearable with you.’’
‘’You’ve had some brilliant ideas in the past, but driving through a snowstorm only to get stuck on the road has truly been your best idea.’’
‘’Gremlins is the best holiday movie.’’ 
‘’I don’t care what they think, I love you.’’ 
‘’I told you to not get me anything.’’
‘’You can’t just disappear off the face of this earth, make a reappearance for the holidays and think everything will be okay.’’
‘’You’re drunk, you can’t drive home.’’ 
‘’I already told everyone you were my date.’’
‘’You murdered my snowman!’’
‘’I didn’t plan on spending my Christmas at the hospital, but here we are.’’
‘’Have you been naughty or nice this year?’’
‘’Stop trying to get me to walk under the mistletoe.’’
