#also Kas Eddie we always love to see him

[steviesbicrisis]

Steve’s best relationship wasn’t even a relationship. He could barely call it a fling, a flirt. They never even went on a date. They never kissed.

Steve still thinks of it as the best whatever-it-is he has ever had with someone.

At the beginning it was mostly infuriating, how quickly Eddie managed to win the kids over, compared to Steve’s months of work as babysitter/nailbat swinger/monster fighter. Steve had to literally bleed multiple times to get an ounce of respect, Eddie only had to run a nerdy club about fictional bleeding and monster-fighting.

Then somehow, and Steve still has trouble pinpointing when and how it happened, everything changed.

Taking the kids back home from hellfire became something he impatiently waited for.

He and Eddie would barely talk for a few minutes and he would find himself replaying the conversation in his head for days. Anything he could say to get a reaction out of Eddie became fundamental, and if he started by picking subjects to piss him off, he ended learning about Eddie’s favorites, because few minutes after hellfire were never enough and Steve needed Eddie to talk as much as possible, until the kids were begging to drop it and go home.

Steve never questioned the change, most likely out of fear. He doesn’t think he ever was clueless, just really scared about what would potentially mean to be staring at another dude’s eyelashes as he goes on a rant about why Ozzy Osbourne is the best artist of his generation. Or blush whenever said dude would call him “baby”, or “sweetheart”.

Steve convinced himself that the thing he and Eddie were having was as good as it was going to get, nothing more.

Then Chrissy Cunningham died, Eddie ran, and Steve realized that the thing will never be enough for him.

He couldn’t not have Eddie. Not watch him as he entertains a bunch of freshmen, as he stomps with his worn out sneakers on top of forniture, as he puts his terrible music on to push away anyone who doesn’t care enough about him to stay.

Steve needed to see Eddie being alive, doing what his heart desires, and he needed to be next to him when he does.

Obviously, this realization came at the worst possible time.

Steve tried to tell him so many times: when they found him at the boathouse, when he was hiding at refer Rick’s house, when they were taking a stroll in the upside down, and even when they were driving a stolen trailer to a gunshop.

But, it seemed, Eddie had come to a realization just as important and he tried his best to avoid Steve at every given chance.

Steve tried to initiate the conversation as Eddie did his best to run away from it. And he ran until Steve had no chances left to tell him how he actually felt.

———

Steve doesn’t know if he’s allowed to say he lost something he never had. To mourn a relationship he never began. A partner that, technically, never became a partner.

After Eddie dies, Steve has no one to be next to but he can’t say he ever did.

Steve just exists waiting. He can’t tell if he’s waiting for the pain to go away or for Eddie to jump out of a bush and yell “ah! I got you sucker!! By the way, I’m in love with you too.”

For obvious reasons, that never happens.

What does happen, is a call.

It’s a normal Tuesday, as normal as you could define it after Hawkins almost collapsed into the upside down. Steve got into a routine, between checking on the ones at the hospital, helping out at the shelter, allowing Robin to check on him to see if he’s still alive.

The call happens while Robin is doing her kitchen check up - aka making sure he has food and that he’s eating it-, so she picks the phone like she did a million times before.

“Harrington residence, this is Robin” she says, cheerfully.

Steve doesn’t pay much attention to it as he’s folding his dad’s old clothes that intends to donate to the shelter, until he hears Robin’s loud gasp.

“What is it? Is it the hospital? Is it Max?” He rushes to the other room where Robin is.

She doesn’t answer but she gives him a look as she passes him the receiver.

Steve goes quiet, a million thoughts going through his head as he takes the phone from Robin.

He’s still unprepared when he hears that unmistakable voice “Baby”.

Steve gasps for breath “Eddie?”

Is that really you? What happened? Are you hurt? Isn’t this impossible? Is what goes on in Steve’s head, but he ends up just asking “are you okay?”

He can hear a chuckle, Eddie’s wicked chuckle, a further confirmation that it is him, “I’m- hanging in there… are you okay?”

Steve finds the question absurd. He isn’t the one who got left in the upside down, the one that got eaten by demonic bats, the one who died before Steve had the chance to tell him how he felt.

He answers truthfully nonetheless, “I’m… I’m not okay.”

“I’ll be there soon, I promise.”

“Please Eddie, come quick.”

“I’ll break the sound barrier for you.”

🎊 december bookshelf 🎊

november recs | recs tag

Happy (almost) New Year! Here are some bits of brilliance I'm closing out the year in reading, and here's to everything that you guys have made this year. I'm so grateful to exist in a space with so much talent and so many big hearts willing to share in it, and I can't wait to read what you have cooked up for 2024 🥂 love, dot

🎊 INCENDIUM by @stargazersteddie- I have always been and will always be a weird dragon kid at heart and this fic was tailor made for the weird dragon kids of the world LIKE! dragon shapeshifter eddie is SUCH a concept and then to add dragon hunter steve to the mix? to add a genuinely intriguing corrupted corporation claiming to help people? to add ronance espionage and secrets in the woods and-? you know? a treat of a journey really and truly.

🎊 captain's log webcomic by @rogue-alien - That sweet spot where beautiful, perfectly representative art meets a brilliant premise in which Dustin finds a bunch of old "Captain's Log" tapes Eddie recorded before he died and things develop from there. Truly makes my day every time I see this has updated with a new page and as a comic book lover I'm fully enamored with everything about this

🎊 if you wanted, you could do no harm by @eskawrites - I'm a lover of a road trip story in which everything becomes clear because the scenery has changed and this is SUCH a beautiful depiction of that. getting to live inside Nancy's head as she goes from knowing she has to get out of Hawkins but not necessarily why to finding this sense of peace within herself and the things she both can control (kissing the girl who made sure she wasn't alone for the journey) and can't control (the big unknowable that is life) was a delight and a joy <3

🎊 mark it on the starmap with an x by @cheatghost - the Eddie POV "show me the place (where he inserted the blade)" sequel/ companion piece of my DREAMS. I love an Eddie character study with my whole heart and the way lou explores him in this particular circumstance, being blocked off from the joy he built for himself and leaning on Wayne and almost being forced into adapting without getting a say in the matter? Brilliant, immaculate, perfect, HELP ME.

🎊 max the bloody handed by @hellsfireclub - KAS!MAX!!! Beautiful Lucas POV as things fall into disarray, as his sense of something's wrong gets proven right, and with such a cool and eerie tone the whole way through. also Lucas with a crossbow which you KNOW is everything To Me.

🎊 this time of the year by @gothbat99 - robin HEARS nancy even when nancy isn't saying anything aloud and robin KNOWS that nancy needs a moment to let her brain go quiet and just be and I'm beside myself!! sweet and warm and tinged with the inevitable grief of the holiday season what if I cry huh?

🎊 The Future is the Same (but i have to try) by @fragilecapric0rnn - such an intriguing world built in so few words but the thing that has me on the FLOOR is the nancy and steve reckless grieving power duo of it all LIKE. designed for me specifically perhaps??? the characterization, the looming danger of every choice they make, the impulsive nature of it all!!! brilliant!

🎊 crash by @cheatghost (yes, again! sue me!) - i say 'designed for me specifically' a lot but this time it's actually TRUE and let me tell you!!! the psychic damage incurred was IMMENSE!! the nancy character study of all time, the cyclical/non-linear journey through grief and catharsis and hope and acceptance of my dreams, i'm never going to stop thinking about this fic you HAVE to read it, it's imperative To Me okay? okay. okay okay.

PS. don't forget to tip your writer in kudos and comments if you read and enjoy these! it's talking to each other about the works we create that makes this fandom world go round 💖

#dot recs #fic recs #dot post #steddie #ronance #lumax #a day early but what are you a cop??? #ring in the new year by reading something new!

[xenon-demon]

So I talked a little while ago about what Steve’s deal is in my Kas!Steve AU - one of the things I mentioned was he has vertical pupils now, because vampire Steve having excellent night vision makes sense, plus monstrous features….. sexy….. (Also, here is where I talk about the general AU concept, if you’re unfamiliar!)

The other day I found out (from a certified Cat Man™) that cats actually have super shitty vision in normal light because of the same eye adaptations that give them good night vision. Therefore, for your consideration: Kas!Steve needs glasses. (I’m imagining he gets them as a government-organised “hey sorry you died and came back wrong, if we fix your vision will you promise to try your best to keep your existence a secret thanks” type of deal lol.)

Please imagine this big, intimidating vampire man wearing glasses with thick as hell lenses and the classic 80s style chunky frames. He quickly perfects the judgemental over-the-glasses stare, and the kids all agree it’s the only thing about Steve that could even remotely intimidate them. (That’s still not saying much, though - he’s still their Steve, and they’re still the same loveable shitheads they’ve always been.)

Before he gets the glasses, Kas!Steve uses his sense of smell to identify people from a distance, or relies on distinctive physical features to identify people. He picks Eddie out by his hair, or Robin by the way she’s always standing kind of awkwardly and moving uncoordinatedly. Steve keeps the lights off at night and puts up thick curtains for the daytime so the house is dark enough for him to see easily.

Kas!Steve, who is struggling with the idea of what he is now and the fact he came back wrong, still needs such a common human tool and finds comfort in it. Steve feels a warmth inside of him every time he sees someone else wearing glasses, on the TV or out in public or in the news, since it turns this monstrous part of him into something that’s just another part of the human experience. Eddie tells him he loved Steve’s eyes when he was human and he loves them now, but he thinks he loves them most of all when they’re framed by those thick glasses, like the works of art Eddie knows they are.

It's April 16 1988

You and your Aunt Katherine moved to another town again called Hawkins, Indiana

Ever since in your early teens, you got used to it, moved here and there

Your aunt took care for you, when your parents both passed at a very young age of 7

She's the only one you've ever had in your life and you couldn't be more grateful

She did the best that she can to give you what you needed, she treated you well, she thought you the how to deal things with life

You loved her very dearly, it just saddens you to move on again to another town- she wants to have a partner again in her life, on every slight inconveniences the next thing you know is packing up all of your stuff and leave immediately

All the memory of Uncle Charlie is a bit hazy and you couldn't quite remember everything of it but you know, he is an amazing husband whenever your Aunt talks about him, you can see the way her eyes glow

You struggle to adjust into the new environment and make new friends, Perhaps?.... as if you ever made one

But this time, you wanted to stay for real this time, you wanna settle down and have a real life

Thankfully, is the last year of your senior high school and you're just going to need a job after you graduated

Even though your aunt insist not to take any jobs she wants you to go in college as soon after you graduated

But you really wanted to have a job not because of your own needs but you also wanted to help out your aunt

She sadly smiles at you and she sighs in defeat and she saids "Alright, we will look for a perfect job for you"

While your aunt is asking for inquires at a local diner in front of the Family Video

You eye out the store and you don't understand why the sudden pulling inside of you telling you that's the place that you want to work

You cleared your throat "Can I check that out, if you don't mind?"

Your aunt looked around "Yeah, sure, my dear but be back here? alright?"

"Okay" You nod

You crossed down the road and your eyes roam around the small building

You loved movies, you always loved watching movies

You opened the door and the bell chimes, a signal, that a customer enter the premises

"Hi! Welcome to Family Video!" A short dusty blonde hair girl- greeted you with a smile on her face

You like the enthusiastic tone coming out of her voice "uh- thank you" you shrug shyly

You didn't noticed the man coming in a load of big boxes on the side and you bumped to each other and the box fall back down on the ground scattering all of the VHS tapes on the floor

He grunts and sighs warily not until he looked up at you "Oh- I'm sorry I didn't see you there"

"It's my fault, let me help you pick up those"

Before he can protest, he already saw you piling all of the VHS all at once

"My guess this is for the horror section, right?" You held up one "Rosemary's Baby" VHS

"Yes" he responds feeling bad while he watches you picking all of the tapes and placing all of them one by one on the shelf

"Look, you don't have to do this" he says while grabbing all of the VHS at once putting them on the front desk he even doesn't bother to organized them all he just goes straight back to you

"Hey, it's okay, don't sweat it" You say before you crouch down to put the last horror VHS in place

"Actually, I think I might get a job around here" you stand up straight and look at him

He's very attractive, his hazel eyes are pretty and the hair is perfectly styled

He must've been very popular at his school where he studied

"Oh, you are?"

"Yeah"

"I think we have one more available slot for you- he pauses "Shoot- I'm sorry, My name is Steve, Steve Harrington"

He hold out his hand for you and you shake them "it's Y/N"

"Steve, have you-"

You looked around and it's the girl who greeted you earlier

She smirked and you looked back at Steve in confusion

He shakes his head at her "Before you go think of something else, I'm almost finished to organize everything that is delivered right now"

"Ooh, really?" She answers sarcastically

"It's because we have a new assistant now!"

"Wait-woah- Does that mean I'm hired?"

"Yes!" Steve replies fast and you can hear the excitement in his tone

She rolled her eyes at him "Anyways, I'm Robin, Robin Buckley" she reached out for hand and she shakes it aggressively

"You better get used to her over the top energy" Steve chuckles

You giggled "Okay, it's nice to meet you, Robin, I'm Y/N"

"Hey, Robin could you get the papers to sign her up?"

She annoyingly smiles at Steve and goes back to the office

"That was fast?" You furrow your brows in confusion

"What do you mean?"

"That I got the job?" You raise your eyebrow at him

"Ah"

He goes back to the desk organizing every VHS tape in order on the shelf

Not looking at you he replies "It's because you knew the film that you're holding earlier"

"Huh? Is that it?"

"Uh yeah- that's what we needed in here, top 1 most important thing is that you must know or like familiar with films and everything" he says while opening a second box putting out the other new delivered VHS

"Oh"

"and you even place them not just in the horror section" he gestures the last phrase with quotation marks "you also placed them by year!" he breathlessly laughs

"What?"

He motions you to look back at the horror section

"Oh, yeah right" you chuckled

He crouch down to look at it and shaking his head "I can't believe that you know all about this stuff!" he exclaims

"What stuff" Robin says without looking at you both while she's double checking the paper before she gives it to you

"This girl right here" he points to you "is very cultured"

"Say what now?" Robin grins at you as she crouch down next to Steve

She gasps and looks right back at you "You literally organized all of these by year?"

You nod at her and smile

"Wow"

"Exactly"

"Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (1931)-" Robin cups her face in awe as she reads all the labels again

"Psycho (1960) to Rosemary's Baby (1968)"

"I just place them on the shelf but not like this" Steve is still unbelievable of what you just did

"She freaking place them not just by year but also by decade!"

You watch them as they lose their minds and you can't supress the smile growing widely because you've never had like this before

Maybe.... You finally made friends

Robin stands up straight she walks towards to you "Like how could you know all about this?"

You shrugged "I just love movies that's all"

Steve straighten up as well "Did you go to film class or something?"

"I guess you could say that" you snorted while you put your hands on your pocket

"Wait? Are you in college?" Robin says

"Not yet, I'm going to finish my last year of senior first but yeah Steve's right that's what I want to pursue someday"

Robin nods while Steve listens continuing to put all of the VHS at place

"I-I was supposed to go to college after I graduated that's what my aunt really wanted but I just- you paused

"I want to have a job and uh- I wanna experience it while saving up some money for college" you added

"Well, you found the perfect place" Steve smiles

"Yeah, it's gonna be fun!" Robin agrees

You look in their eyes and you can tell they're very genuine and you smile at them

You heard the car from outside beeping and it's your aunt calling out from you

"Oh, that's my aunt, I- uh I'm gonna go" you say while you're rushing out towards the exit

Steve follows you while your hand rest on the door handle "Before you go, can you start tomorrow? We open at 9am?"

"Yes, I can"

"Good"

"What am I going to wear by the way?"

"You can wear anything you want- we don't have spare uniform around here yet" Robin says while she carries the 2 boxes bringing it outside

"Oh okay, I'll see you guys tomorrow then!"

"Sure thing!" Robin smiles at you

"Bye, Take care" Steve says while waving to you

You look at them for the last time and you push the door forward

"She's really cute and pretty!" Robin says with a eat shiting-grin on her face

Robin feels Steve's eyes rolling "I like her but, very funny, Robs" as he glares at her

She laughs "ooh I wonder what else she likes, maybe she loves rock music" she says as she taps her finger at her chin while thinking deeply

"What makes you say that?"

"I saw her leather bracelet and she wears like black & white colored outfits"

"Just because someone is wearing one doesn't mean they listen to rock music, Robin"

"But what if, she is!"

Steve chuckles "Only way to found out tomorrow"

6:30am in the morning, you woke up

You stretch out your body before getting out of the bed and move the curtains on the side of the window

You're never a morning person as a kid but now you're growing more to like it

You still haven't done unpacking everything yet since you're exhausted yesterday just recently moving in the tow

You sigh as you looked over the baggages in your room instead you showered to freshen up and start rummaging through your luggage

you grab the black bra top, black cardigan and khaki pants

Your aunt made your favorite chicken noodle soup and you smile to yourself as you walk across the kitchen, smelling the aroma more

"Goodmorning, pumpkin" she greets

"Morning!" you smile

Your aunt caught your keen voice as she squints her eyes at you but a smile grows on her lips before she continues to what she was doing

You want to help out your aunt for cooking but she always insists that you sat down on the table

she places the bowl in front of you "What's with you so smiley today?"

"I'm just looking forward for the job that I got yesterday"

"Wait, what- really?" she stopped while holding the serving spoon

"Yeah"

"At the Family Video?"

"Yes!"

"And you're excited about that?"

You smile even wider you can't help but wonder why "Yes I do! I think I made friends as well!"

"You did?"

"Yes!"

"What are their names?"

"Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley"

Your aunt can see the lively vibe into your eyes and she hopes that you will never lose it

She smiles down at you as she fills up your bowl with chicken noodle soup

You sigh at the comfortness around the area and you've never felt this before ever since.... well.... you moved in a lot

You felt happy at those times before but not like this, this is different

Maybe, just maybe..... This is the place that you want to stay

"I'm happy for you, love, but if things go wrong-

"I will always be here whenever you need me" you cut her off by finishing her sentence that she always reminds you

She chuckles as she places a glass of red iced tea

"Eat up, we got a big day ahead of us"

Your aunt drop you off at the Family Video, she decides to take the diner instead, she works as a waitress in there

Steve & Robin are already inside opening all of the windows inside

They seem to focus on what they're doing that they didn't even noticed that you arrived on time

You cleared your throat and they raise their heads in unison

You shyly wave at them

Robin smiles "Perfect timing!"

"Hey there!" Steve greets you

You sheepishly nod at him

Robin walks towards to you and grab your hand as she pull over the desk and she reveals your uniform and your name tag

You gasped as you look over to your uniform

Other people might found this funny because of your reaction looked like you just won the lottery

But this is very new to you and it's a great experience to let yourself feel it, enjoy it and embrace it

"W-Wow, I'm official now?"

"You sure are!" Robin says as she watches you unfold your uniform and couldn't help but smile even more

"You can wear it now, if you want to" Steve says

"Are you kidding? I've been dying to have one of these!"

Steve chuckles and shakes his head at you

"You can go ahead and change in the restroom is just around the corner" Robin says as she directs you to where the bathroom is

"Okay, be right back!" You say as you pick up your stuff and headed towards the restroom

"Isn't she the most lovely human being ever!" Robin admires your kind personality

"I gotta admit, I do" Steve shrugs as he flips the sign on the glass door that says "OPEN"

"We had a bet right?"

"What?"

"A bet that we did, last night"

"Oh- that"

"And I just have the perfect person to talk about it" Robin looks over to Steve shoulder and she grins

Someone enters the store with heavy boots on

Steve already knows who is the person behind him and he sighs in exhaustion

He turns around and he says "Dude, what the hell are you doing in here?"

He's wearing Ray-Bans black sunglasses

"I'll be quick, man, don't worry"

"I'll be quick" Steve mocks him making the man rolls his eyes even though his wearing sunglasses, Steve can see it

"You know it's dangerous for you to go outside, in broad daylight!" Steve exclaims

He sighs "yeah, man, I know, goddamn it just be chill, Harrington" he walked over the Mystery/Thriller section as he halts his tracks

His sensing something..... else

"Don't tell me you're going outside like this often" Steve says sternly

Robin ignoring Steve "Uh- I'm going to say something about-"

The man just hushes them both

They both went silent and Steve looked over to Robin and she just shrugs

He can smell you, he can even hear the beat of your heart

He takes a deep breath and he narrows his piercing red glowing eyes to his friends

But before they can say anything, he heard the restroom door open as he swiftly snaps his head looking at you

you unbeknownst to what's going around at the store and the strange man that came in

You're wearing a walkman and you're listening to "Deep Purple - Child In Time" with your head down and you swing your bag over your shoulder fixing your uniform more properly

He removed his sunglasses with his lips apart

The man could've sworn to himself that he is dead, he felt alive again just seeing your presence, even though his heart isn't the same anymore since.... the disaster happened

It's been 2 years and yet here you are, he thought he would've never feel anything that is human but now.... he is feeling something again and that intrigues him

You feel eyes on you

Your raise your head and you have locked eyes at the peculiar man standing not too far from you

He can feel and read your mind, emotions towards him, you're curious and somehow.... intimidated?

That's what he is afraid of.... but that changes when you started walking towards him with a smile on your face

You remove your walkman headset and pause the cassette

Steve and Robin shared a knowing look with each other as they smirk behind the man

"Oh, hello, I'm Y/N" you offer your hand to shake hands with him

You asking him? to shake hands with you?

He blinked and swallowed he becomes nervous as he couldn't said a word

You furrow your brows while you reach out for his hand and he shakes it "and you are?"

"I-I'm Edward Munson- b-but you can call me, Eddie" he stutters and he winces at the awkward answer but you find it cute

The one thing that you noticed, it's not even winter yet but his hand feels.... cold... not that it's weird is just it's summer but you don't pay attention to it...maybe....it's because he's nervous

"Hi, Eddie is a pleasure to meet you, I just recently moved here."

"You do?"

"Yeah, just yesterday"

He looked back at his friends raising his eyebrows

"And that what I've been meaning to tell you" Robin sighs

"She's on her first day of the job!" Steve says while putting his hands over his waist

"Are you picking up a movie?" You asked

"Uh- yeah- I was"

You nod "What kind?"

He got confused by your question and you chuckled "What I mean what kind of movie genre"

"Oh, I get it" he admires your features carefully your eyes, lips, smile, nose, even your voice.... is making him melt

You move yourself beside him and that shocks him, he's never been close to a human girl in his life.... except for his friends though

"You're looking for a Mystery/Thriller film?"

"Yeah, I am"

You look over the VHS section, you found that catches your eye but before you put it out from the shelf, you ask him first

"Are you looking for something that is uh- spooky?"

He tears his eyes away from you while you lean down bending beside him

You didn't even noticed that he is watching you, my god- you're so beautiful- it hurts

He clears his throat "I-I'm kinda into some kind of action"

Steve scrunches up his brows "Since when?"

Robin elbows him with Steve saying "OW!"

"Don't mess up with the moment" she whispers

You picked it up and give it to him

He take it out your grasps and he reads the title "Die Hard"

"You gotta love it" you told him

He smiles to you "Okay"

Robin presses her lips together as she can't control her excitement

"Say- uh- Eddie- I think Y/N is also into rock music" Robin says as she throw her arm around your shoulder with a grin

"How- did you?-" you say as you turn your head on Robin

"You are?"

"Oh- yeah I am"

"What kind?" he echoes the question that you asked him earlier

"Heavy metal, speed metal, glam rock, hard rock, blues, psychedelic rock and so much more" you say as you motion your hands for far more wide

Eddie's eyes almost bulge out of his head "Really? No way!" he jumps out of exhilaration

"Yes, I do!"

You mirrored his enthusiasm as you jump at the same time- you didn't even realized you both holding each other's hands

Robin face turn into such a satisfaction as she turn into Steve mouthing to him "Pay me"

Steve rolls his eyes at her with a smile as he digs out of his pocket a dollar and gives it to Robin

You share each other's interests as you both looked down

you rip your hands from him immediately while smiling sheepishly at him

Eddie scratches the back of his neck

"Are you going to pay for that, Munson?" Steve asks

"Right" he responds as he holds up the VHS you gave to him

Before he can leave the store he turn around and say "Can we hang out sometime?" he shyly asks

"Sure, Eddie, I would love to"

"Oh, okay good, what day are you available?"

"I could hang out with you tomorrow if you want"

"T-That's perfect!" his voice raises a bit much that gives two of his friends shared giggles and he shakes his head at the sight of them

You laugh "See ya, tomorrow, Eddie"

"You too, sweet thing" he gives you a smile before he exits

and that's where all it began....

Everytime you bond with each other, you two became close, literally inseparable

You even met his amazing friends that you very liked in the first place that you met them

Dustin, Max, Lucas, El, Mike, Nancy, Will, Jonathan, Chief Hopper (but he prefers to be called Jim) Joyce, Murray, Karen, Ted, Enzo

You notice something again in their eyes, you can't even read it what it means but you never really mind it about anyways

The first thought comes to your mind, maybe.... they're observing you- they feel like they should get to know you first before trusting you

Are they hiding something from you? or maybe they're just being careful or it's just their instinct

But at the same time it doesn't add up, if they won't trust you they shouldn't be inviting you to hang out during weekends or inviting you and your aunt on dinner

You have done it, countless amount of times already.... and it's overwhelming to you because.... this never happen to you before

One time though, you made garlic buttered shrimp that Eddie almost runaway at the smell of it, you thought he didn't like the food and you can see he is scared.... like you can't even explain it- it looks like you're going to hate him?

Eddie on the other hand can read your mind and he wishes if anything happens, if ever you found out about him, he hopes that you will never change towards him

"Oh, are you allergic to seafood?"

"U-uh- yeah I am" he quietly sighs of relief

You gasped "My deepest apologies, I am so sorry I didn't mean any harm" you say as you moved away the food from him

You met Eddie's uncle, Wayne, that's your first impression again

You got intimidated, but that got off as well as soon as he acts so friendly to you

He has the exact same qualities with his nephew

He is so sweet and kind like Eddie

Sometimes you caught them looking at each other with a look that again.... you couldn't understand

There's also no mirrors in their trailer

There's mirrors in some of his friend's house but all of them are covered with a fabric

You find it odd but you can't stop yourself from being curious though

Also....

One night, you came home late from work since you insist to take the night shift from Robin- you couldn't quite understand the reason why the sudden she has to leave

It's about a "Code Red?"

Steve didn't want to leave you behind but you heard Dustin's voice coming out from the walkie-talkie shouting

"Bring Steve with you, y-you guys better come in here right now! It's urgent!"

Judging by the tone of his voice, it is very serious and you hate yourself for thinking this is kind of a sick joke but it really is not

You drag your brows together but you don't wanna pry and it's really none of your business but you wanted to know what's going on though

Robin almost dragging Steve out of the store

He really didn't wanna go and you can't understand why, the more you try to convince Steve that you'll be okay and you can see in his eyes that it's highly unlikely that you'll be fine,

alone.

It's closer to 12:00am, you packed up your stuff and you make sure all of doors from the back door and the office are locked and you switch off the lights and close the store

The cold wind made you shudder a little

Your aunt take the bus ride home she leaves you with the car, while on your way to it- you didn't know that there's a man holding out a knife to harm you

Before he can attack you, there's a wind swoosh behind your back, you turn around and you notice there's nothing in there- you roam your eyes everywhere

There's no one

You felt nervous and you grip on your car keys as you quickly unlock the door

There's 'clang' of a trashcan that flew into the air and that made you shrieked and you drop your keys on the ground

You take a deep breath and you shout

"Whoever you are! Show yourself!"

Eddie can feel your fear and he feels bad he's the one that caused it but he doesn't want anyone to hurt you, he won't let anyone to do that to you

His eyes are red, his hands are bloody, and his fangs were out.... good thing that he can go back to normal after a while to calm down

When no one respond, you huffed and shake your head, you pick up the keys on the ground

The moment you look back again, you screamed "AHH" you put your hand over your chest and you're heavily breathing

It's Eddie fucking appeared out of nowhere in front of you and you didn't even heard him coming

"You fucking scared me half to life! Eddie! What the hell?!?"

You clasps his hands together saying "I'm sorry" repeatedly

You wave dismissively at him and he says "A-are you good?"

You laugh in disbelief- you scratch your forehead "What are you doing in here anyways?"

Oh shit

He needs a valid reason

"Uh- Steve asked me to guard on you"

"Guard on me?" You raise your eyebrows while you squint your eyes on him

"Y-yeah since, it's late"

before you can reply, Dustin runs around you and he put his hands over his knees as he tries to catch up his breath

Steve leans over to your car with a ragged breathing

Robin puts her hand over her chest as she gives a small wave

"Oh- good, you're okay" Dustin hugs you and you hugged back looking at Eddie in confusion

He pulled out a forced smile as he doesn't know what to say

Hopper's car arrived and he came out of the vehicle and he gives a glare to Eddie

Eddie gulped and put his head down

"There's a suspect that runs into this area that's why we came as fast as we could" Hopper explained

You nod and that lessens your suspicions but- you want answers

You're still confused by the whole situation going on but they watched you as they saw you're inside of the car and drove away

Eddie watches you closely as he can read your thoughts and he feels so guilty for not telling you the truth about....

Himself

"What have we told you?" Hopper says sternly

"I know-"

"Listen, kid, you know I like you alright?" Hopper says

He just nods

"I can't help but feel infuriated by your stubbornness"

"Look- I just- wanna help! I caught the bad guy! didn't I?!?" He looks over to Dustin, Steve and Robin

The three of them give unsure looks

"Oh, come on, you guys"

"Yeah, you caught the bad guy but what about you?" Steve says

"I agree with Steve" Dustin can't even look at Eddie in the eyes as he can remembers how he almost lost him before

"What if, someone saw you? Do you think they won't think twice of killing you instantly?" Robin added

"We know that you wanted to help but we can't risk anyone by finding out that you're- Eddie cuts Hopper off before finishing his sentence

"A what?!? A fucking vampire?!?" Eddie exclaims

He lets out a exasperated sigh "I know guys are concerned about me and I promise this is the last time that I will violated what we talked about" he starts

"If there's a bad situation, I will never do anything without your permission"

Hopper, Steve, Dustin, Robin glance at each other as they all know no matter what they do- Eddie will always be there to save someone from harm

"He-" his angry tears welled up behind his eyes

Hopper blinks at his vulnerability, He knows that he is strong but he truly does care for his loved ones

But this is the first time that they saw him like this..... again.... after the incident....

"He almost killed her, Hopper"

"If- if I wasn't there on time, he would've killed her"

"I would've have lost her" he sniffled

Steve gives Eddie a sympathetic smile, Robin softly gasps at his subtle confession about his true feelings to you and Dustin widen his eyes

"I'm sorry, if I was on a rush for making risky decisions again" he says plainly as he flew off

All of them watch him as he flies away

Dustin smiles sadly "What happens if she finds out?" He says as he still looking up in the sky

"What?" Steve asked

"What if she finds out the truth about him?"

"Oh" Steve can't help but feel so sorry for Eddie, he knows that he never loved someone in his life ever since, he never knew this could happen

"What should we do if ever that might happen?" Robin says as she presses her lips together

"She won't" Hopper says while he's walking towards to this car

"She won't" what? Dustin raises his eyebrows as he waits for Hopper to continue

"She won't be scared of him"

"What makes you say that?" Steve added

"Because they've been together a lot, it's over a year since they moved here and Y/N told us that they frequently leave even though she doesn't tell it to me, I feel like she wants to stay here because of him.... and that says a lot." Hopper says as he goes inside of his car and turns on the engine

"You know what, he's right" Robin says

Steve and Dustin looked at her

"She wouldn't be with us, if she doesn't trust us."

"Well, I just hope she won't change after anything if she finds out" Steve sighs

"I believe in Y/N too" Dustin while he crosses his arms

"Remember the time when Y/N defended Eddie from those douchebags at The Hideout?"

Steve chuckles and Robin "Oh yeah, she got heated when they're calling him "monster" and a "freak"- she literally splashes him with a beer and my god she punches the guy after he tries to hurt her"

Eddie rambles the whole situation over and over to Dustin, from what his dear old friend doesn't know even he is just a kid, he can see his eyes shine whenever he talks about you

Dustin is very happy for him, he hasn't seen his friend this joyful ever since

"Just be there for her, if ever, okay?" Hopper says

All of them nod at him, they watch as he droves away

Eddie on the other hand

Thoughts going wildly on his mind while he's flying around the town

He doesn't know what to do, is it a right decision to tell you or to keep it a secret?

but he knows deep down, if he still keeps this as a secret, you would be furious that it makes him look like he doesn't trust you

He angrily shouts as he lands on a forest

He screams "Why?!"

"I know this would've happen, but I never thought it will really happen" he's heavily breathing as he continues to shout

"Why do I have to suffer like this?!" He says as he owns tears getting choked up in his throat

"I really wanted to stay with my friends but right now?!?" He laughs incredulously "I would rather die than seeing my love getting afraid because of me!"

Memories flashes before his eyes as he remembers the one who gave this to him

"You'll live"

Eddie is gasping for air but he feels different

He woken up he is still laying in the upside down

He sits up, the demobats that tear off half of his skin and limbs are all healed

"W-What have you done to me?" He says as he backs away from him

"Shh" he shushes "Don't be frightened"

"I need you to work for me"

"What?"

"I gave you life and powers"

Eddie runs his tongue over his teeth and he shouts "No" his fuelling anger is becoming tears in his eyes

"You can't do this to me!"

"You're my slave, I need you to do something for me"

"I won't work for you!"

He slams him behind the trailer as he threatens him and choking him in the process

"You wanted to graduate is that it?"

"Y-yes, I do"

"Then follow me what I need you to do"

In fact he did follow him, but he had other plans

Everyone was shocked that he is still alive, he showed up first to Dustin, he thought he saw a ghost the first time he saw him again

"I knew it! You're alive!" He hugs Eddie with happy tears

"It's really good to see you, bud" he says as he rubs his back

"But- how did you manage to-" Dustin pulls away but he got cut off by Eddie saying

"I will explain to you everything, we have a problem"

"Copy that" Dustin says as he walks over to grab his walkie-talkie saying "Code Red"

To be completely honest everyone felt weird when they saw Eddie alive and well as if he wasn't got eaten off by demobats

Eddie can understand why and that he is truly himself, just undead that's all

"Steve, Robin, Jonathan and I, will take cover for you" Nancy says

"El and Eddie will corner Vecna to finish this once for all" Mike tightens the grip on El's hand as she flashes out a small smile

"We will be at the gates and guard on it if ever nasty monsters will get out" Erica says as she nods over to Lucas and Max

"Me and Argyle will warn Hopper and Enzo to the townspeople to stay alert and be ready" Will added

Eddie sighs "Do you think this could work?"

"It has to- and I believe you can beat his ass off" Dustin reassures Eddie

The plan is going on so nicely, everything is coming to an order

El uses her telekinetic powers to hold off Vecna and while Eddie pins him down on the ground

"Your time is running out" Eddie grunts

"You're making a big mistake"

"Am I?"

Vecna tries to fight back but El groans and screams harder as she pushes him back down and Eddie stabs him with a sword and punches him

That caused a lot pain to him "Traitor" he says while wincing at the wound

"If you kill me, you won't be able to go back to normal"

El glances over to Eddie and he looks back at her

He gave her a small nod and mouthing to her "it's okay"

"Someday, you'll see, if someone tries to love you, they won't love you back because you're a monster"

Eddie clenches his jaw as he deepens the wound

"They won't accept you, everywhere you go- they'll hate you"

"A freak but also a monster?" He laughs darkly

"Don't listen to him, Eddie!" El yells as she uses both of her hands to hold him back down

"Now, don't you worry, supergirl, I am not" he says sternly to Vecna

His eyes widen as he watches him raises the sword to chop his head off

"I would rather live like this than to knowing that you're still alive killing innocent people" he says in his last blow of his sword

Both of them shout in anger and exhaustion

They both fell back down and the upside down is now crumbling

Eddie, El, Steve, Robin, Nancy, and Jonathan running for their lives as they try to leave the upside down

Erica, Lucas and Max watches the gates closed on its own and it faded like it wasn't ever existed

The cracks are all gone and the wind and the red glow in the area is nowhere to be seen

"He made it" Enzo chuckled

"The kid got guts" Hopper smiled as he closes his eyes finally at peace for this town

Mike speaks over the walkie-talkie asking "Hey, guys? I see the town is going back to normal is everything alright?" Dustin can't reply as he's watching the last gate where Eddie is

He kept saying "Come on guys, Eddie, come on, man"

The 6 of them jump on the ground back into the real world as the watch the last gate finally closed and goes back to where it was before

Dustin sighs of relief "Is everyone okay?"

"Yeah, we're okay" Steve says as he looks over to his friends

Eddie is the only one who is silent as everyone is catching up their breath

He is disappointed of what he has become for all eternity but also the same time, he is glad, that the war is finally over

"Are you good?" Jonathan asks Nancy as she gives him a nod

"Eddie?" Robin asks

El glances over to Eddie and he looks at her giving him a hopeful smile

He finally turns around "I am stuck like this, you guys, forever" he scoffed while shaking his head

Everyone gave him a sympathetic smile

"You're a hero, Eddie and nothing ever changes that" El says as she puts over her hand in his shoulder

"Thank you" he says softly

"You'll be okay and we will always here for you, Eddie" Dustin says

"Yeah, man" Steve agrees

"It never felt any different ever since you came back, Eddie, it's still going to be the same" Jonathan says with a small smile

"We should celebrate, you know" Nancy shrugs

"Oh, I hear you, Wheeler" Eddie chuckles and all of them laughed

"We should cover up those wounds first, Munson" Robin says

His eyes became misty as he is so grateful to have friends like them

Eddie proved Vecna wrong about people not accepting for who he really was....

but... what about you?

Joyce, Murray, Karen all of them decided to keep Eddie's true nature a secret and kept it quiet

Hopper and Enzo agreed with this

So the townspeople won't snoop their noses around him, they'll still believe he's the one that caused it

Fucking close-minded people

"She's deserves to know" he says as he calms down a little bit

"She has to know" he says it himself

No more lies, no more secrets, he doesn't like to see you get betrayed and hurt

But he hopes that you'll won't be disappointed

He's going to admit it all at your first date together

You showed up in Family Video, you went to do all of the tasks as if nothing ever happened last night

Steve and Robin give looks at each other and then back to you

"You know that I can feel your eyes on me, right?" You say while opening the window blinds

"Sorry" Steve says softly

"Y/N, we just wanna know, if you're okay?" Robin says

You bring yourself around to face them "I am totally fine, guys"

You both gave them a reassuring smile

There's still a piece inside of you wanted answers to your questions but you don't want to make things worse, so you kept it to yourself

While you're bringing the storage boxes outside, Eddie approached you while clearing his throat

"Hey, Y/N" he says softly

"Hi" you say sheepishly

"I know what happened last night was so weird, please, forgive me" Eddie says with his doe eyes

His eyes are making you say "aww" on how adorable they are

Wait- you found my eyes appealing? He thinks to himself while he reads your mind

But he stops doing it right away as he feels like he's invading your own thoughts

"You don't have to explain and you don't have to apologize to it anymore, Eddie" you sigh

"Look, just hear me out" he says as he looks deeply into your eyes

You swallowed nervously and you blinked rapidly

Woah- why is your heart beating so fast? Do- do you like me?

He can feel emotions rushing and the energy of it.....is growing wild

You nod for him to continue

"I know this is like way too early but I'm asking you out for a dat-"

"Yes" you cut him off

"I'm not even finished yet" he throws his hand up

"Yes, I would like to go out with you"

"Really?"

"Yeah" you smile at him

He looks straight into your eyes and he might felt come alive again as he doesn't see anything else that is untrue

You're his dream come true

"Are you serious?" He says as he can't believe that you're willing to go with him

You roll your eyes playfully and giggled

Your smile and laughter brings soothing to his heart, even it's not the same anymore

He felt like a normal human being again

You step closer to him and he's taken a back

"You're amazing gentleman, Ed's, that's why I wanted to go out with you, I hope you know that." You say as you place your hand over his cheek and caresses it

He melts into your touch and closes his eyes for a moment and he smile down at you

"Is 7pm alright?" He whispered

"Yes" you replied while you pat his cheek

You walked away leaving a breathless Eddie behind

"Goddamn" he smiles to himself, his smile though slowly fades a little as he remembers what he's going to do tomorrow

You wore a black corset and black ripped jeans

You checked your outfit while looking at yourself in the mirror

"Hmm, it might be too cold outside" so you picked out your sheer white jacket

"You look absolutely divine, honey" your aunt says while she leans over to your doorframe

"Oh, hi, I'm sorry I didn't tell you but I have a date"

"Is it Eddie?"

You gasped and you take a double look at your aunt "How could you know?"

She chortled as she sits down on your bed motioning for you to come sit beside her

You smiled at her and she starts "I see the way you looked at him and the way he looked at you"

"Auntie-" you groaned but she laughs "Just listen to me for a moment"

"Never be afraid just to get out there and explore and have a new adventure at your life"

"When I was your age, me and your uncle just go literally everywhere, and it was the surreal experience of my life" she paused as she snifffles a little

You rub her back and she holds your hand "this thing you have with Eddie? Is very special, I see myself through the both of you"

"You both have the same interest and filled with just pure happiness and imaginary at the things you loved the most"

"Never lose yourself and I love that you kept being yourself, honey"

Your tears are threatening to spill "of course, that's what you always told me when I was a kid"

"Hush now" she presses a kiss to your forehead "don't ruin your makeup and I might be the caused of that" she snickers and you laughed

"See you later, auntie!"

"I love you"

"I love you forever, auntie"

You came in the diner that Eddie asked you to come and for moment there you thought you got stand up but you saw him and sigh of relief

"For a minute, I thought you're not going to show up" you say

"I-I'm sorry, I got nervous"

"You're nervous?" You watch him as he sits down across from you

Eddie has always been so handsome to you but you've never seen this close and you're used to see him wearing bandshirts, denims, leather jackets

He is now wearing a decent attire, a little bit formal but still has the touch of his own style

He's wearing a white polo, black pants with his Reebok

His chains and his rings making you feel hot sensation all over your body

"Am I late? Do I look okay?"

"No- you're not I just arrived 2 minutes early and you look exquisite"

"Exquisite?" He smirks

"Fine" you huffed "you look extremely so handsome tonight, Eddie" you bat your eyes at him

Eddie laughs as he admires your pretty face as he looks at you

You corset goes so finely with you, it hugs your breasts so tightly and he grunts softly at the sight of it, every hairstyle is perfect on you but he loves to see you wearing it down

He loves everything about you

The date is going on smoothly, you both shared laughs and funny stories about each other

Like come on, it's like you're fooling both of yourselves, you've been friends for like over a year now, so this feels so natural for you and so does he

Eddie droves you to over his trailer for a movie date

He put VHS Beetlejuice (1988) as he settles down with a popcorn bowl on his hand and places 2 canned sodas on the table

He froze when you remove your white sheer jacket off and you remove your high-heeled shoes

Good thing, he knows how to control his powers, he can't stand not to see your pulsing veins on your neck as he tries not to take a bite of it

You caught him watching you and he shyly ducks his head down and he moves sideward to give you open space to sit down on the couch

You smirk and sat down beside him

You grab a pillow and you put it in front of you to hug it while you're eating popcorn

He can smell your sweet scent as he exhales slowly, he feels so comfortable whenever you're around

You're paying attention in the movie while he doesn't- he watches you

Your eyelashes are so pretty, he just wants to smushes his own face on you and showers you a lot of kisses

But he doesn't want to do anything rash right now, you're being nice ever since you met him and he hates it he's getting thoughts like this

You looked over to him while chewing on the popcorn on your mouth and you chuckled a little when he looked back at the television screen and he grabs his soda immediately and takes a sip of it

"Whatchu, lookin' at- Ed's?"

"What?"

"I'm not blind, Eddie, I saw you looking at me!"

Oh- his cheeks is on fire

He steals the popcorn bowl from your hands and you gasped "You're making it all up" he says as he throws a popcorn onto his mouth

"Sure, whatever you say, handsome" you roll your eyes as you looked back at the TV

"Handsome? that's the twice she said that to me?!" He thinks to himself

He watches you again

You feel his eyes on you as you quickly turn yourself on him

Once again, you caught him

"Aha!" You point at him "I caught you red-handed!"

You throw popcorn at him and he laughs "Okay, fine!"

"Aww, you feel defeated, Ed's?" You pout at him

God, how can you be so cute and hot at the same time? He thinks to himself

"I am guilty, sweetheart" he says as he smiles down at you

You giggled at him and while you reaching out the pillow that fell down from your lap

"You're beautiful"

"Pardon?"

"I said, you're beautiful" he repeated with a grin on his face

Now, it's your turn to be flustered and you smile at him sheepishly

At this point, you don't even care if you got rejected, you have this crush for him carrying it for a over year now

You gotta take the risk or live with regret

So, fuck it

He loves to see you getting blushed because of him as he takes another sip from his soda while he places it from the table

"Eddie?" You called out for him

"Yeah?"

You and him both stare at each other and he gulped of what you're about to do

You cupped his cheeks and presses your lips into his

You kissed him and his eyes were wide as hell

You pulled back and you furrow your brows at his expression, you can't even read it

You chuckled nervously "oh wow- okay, that was stupid, you know what I'm gonna go-" you get up but he grab your hand

His eyes softens and you look back at him and you slowly sat down again beside him

He tucked your hair behind your ear and he slams his lips onto yours

The kiss was so passionate and it was steaming hot, he tilted his head as he deepens the kiss even more, you moaned

You runs your hands over his chest as you throw your arms around him and one hand over the back of his head as you hold him and pulled him even closer

You both flushed at each other's bodies automatically

His cold hands run over your shoulders and to your thighs

You're both making it out like it was for centuries and he doesn't mind it all

He loves to kiss you forever

You don't even noticed that you both floating up in the air

You pulled away and gasped as you put your hand to cover your mouth

And you look back at Eddie and his eyes are red and you look down at his mouth, you saw his fangs

You're in a state of shock as you felt coming back down on the couch

You breathe heavily of what you just witnessed but you quickly collected yourself

All of the missing pieces are coming together

Now, you understand everything

Eddie is a vampire and you're completely clueless about it

You stare at him and he looks away from you ashamedly but you stopped him from doing it while you place your hand on his cheek to make him face you again

He knits his brows together at your action

You peck a kiss onto his lips and he kisses back "Talk to me"

"I wanna know everything, Eddie" you say to him as you flash a sweet smile

He searches uncertainty on your eyes but he doesn't find anything, he saw compassion and love?

You love him?

He just burst into tears as he goes back to normal again

"Oh, Eddie" you hug him while you rest your head over his chest

He hugs you even tighter and you embrace him even more

You both stayed like this in comfortable silence

Locked into each other's arms

He runs his fingers through your hair and you sigh in comfort

You broke the silence first "Before you can think of anything that I don't want you anymore after this, I won't do it, Eddie, I really mean it"

His eyes are still blurry from the tears as he looks down on you and kisses the top of your head

You hum in agreement with a smile on your face

"I- I adored you ever since, Eddie, I love you" you confessed

You felt him get tensed up and he looks at you in shock

You pulled away from him and you cup his cheeks

"I am willingly to spend my whole life with you, Eddie"

He never felt this much happiness in his life but he smiles sadly at the thought-

He's immortal and you're not, his lifetime will be different in the world and yours will be end up fast unfortunately

At least he got the taste of true love but he really wants to make that happen

Loving each other endearingly

But he also doesn't want to cross over the line, you might want to live your life normally

"Oh, sweetheart" his eyes are brimmed with tears and yours too

He got confused "What is it, darling?"

"I- I thought I will be rejected" you laugh "but I see nothing but the truth in your eyes, Ed's" you say

"Even you don't say it-" he cuts you off by saying

"I love you too, Y/N" he kisses your cheek

"Ever since the first time we met" he added

Your lips clashes onto each other as you make out again

Eddie carried you into his room not wanting to break the kiss

He closes the door and locks it and he places you slowly on his bed

You helped him unbotton his polo and you quickly rushed to unclasp your corset

"No, let me" he stopped you and you nod at him

"Are you sure about this?" He asks before he continues to undresses you

You just nod at him and he sighs as he doesn't want to make this go any further if you're aren't up to this truly

He does not want to make you regret it, it's fine for him, if you're not ready

"Hey" he lifts your chin up to make you look at him in the eyes

"I need verbal answers, sweets" he says as he narrows his eyes on you

"I-I've longed for this, Eddie and I only want you"

"Okay" he says softly as he kisses on your knuckles

You make love for the first time and you're so sure of yourself that he is your person

You're going to settle the life that you want with Eddie

You're naked, laying on his bed, your hair is a beautiful mess

You blushed when you noticed his eyes are roaming around your body from top to bottom

You got shy, you tried to cover yourself by wrapping your arms around you

He licks his lips and his eyes filled with hunger, he chuckles darkly

"Damn- that's so hot, why does he have to do that" you think to yourself

"My love, I was just admiring you" he says as he places both of his hands on your hips

"My love?" your knees are now wobbling at his words

"I can't take my eyes off you, you're a goddess!"

"Oh- stop it! Eddie, I-" he cuts you off with a fervid kiss

You squealed and you can feel his smirk while kissing you

You grab a fistful of his hair and he groaned on top of you and as his hands roam over around your body earning a whimper from you

He deepens the kiss even more as he unbuckled his belt

You're already got so worked up by the simplest touches that he did

The effect he has on you, is freaking unreal

He breaks the kiss and you frown, he laughed while he grabs something on the drawer

"I want to be safe"

Your heart melts as he cares about your pleasure first

He pulled his boxers all the way down and you squirmed

Oh, he is huge, you don't even know if you can take it

"You can take it, don't worry, hunny" he winks at you as if he can read your mind (you didn't know that he can truly do that)

He places himself back on top of you and grab his dick directing to your hole

"You ready?"

"Yes, I am, Eddie"

"I applaud your attentiveness, sweetheart"

He takes himself in slowly and you scrunched up in pain

"Just tell me to stop and I will stop" eying you in concern

"No- no, I'm adjusting, keep going"

The moment his all the way in, you look down and you saw that he filled you up real good

"Oh" you breathe heavily

"Told you can take it"

"E-Eddie- you can move now"

He thrust and he grunts as at your pussy already clenching

"Wow, my darling- you impressed me"

You want to keep your eyes open but can't help by the overwhelming sensation burns through your system

"It feels so good, go harder, please" you beg and he doesn't want to keep you begging for more as his thrusts grows harder and harder

You kept your lustful eyes on him

"Don't you dare look at me like that or I will tore you apart" he thinks to himself

"Ah- Eddie! Oh my fucking god!" You moaned

He grabs your legs and places it over his shoulders

He watches as your chest rises up and down

You got confused ignoring the enrapture that you're feeling at the moment

"Eddie- what are you-" you got cut off as he deepens himself down onto you

You can't suppress your moans any longer as you moaned louder

You grip on the sheets as he fucks you roughly

He even watches your boobs bounce up and down, he smirks at the sight of it, he is enjoying himself

"Holy- shit- oh!" You exclaimed

"Baby, I'm coming, I can't take it anymore"

You arched your back in pleasure as he came undone

He falls down on you even though you felt weak, you still manage to hug him

You can feel him smiling at your action and you run your fingers through his hair

He carefully puts down your shaking legs

Your eyes are heavy lidded, your cheeks are flushed, Eddie slowly pull himself out of you

He wiped you, cleaned you, he pulled a clean bandshirt on you and he chuckles softly on how big it is to you as he dresses you up with his clean boxers

He wore his pajama pants as he cuddles next to you

"How's that?" He asks

"It's astounding" you say while your eyes are closed

He bursted out laughing and you furrow you brows as you slap his arm playfully

"I-I am sorry" he is tearing up from laughter "your choice of words are remarkable" he says with a British accent

You laughed at him "Well, you're not the only one" you snorted

"Oh- how dare you" he says dramatically

You rolled your eyes as you push him back laying down on the bed

You caught him by surprise

You remove his boxers that belonged to him and his

You sat down at him without any warnings and you bite your bottom and you moaned

With his lips apart while looking at you

You place your hands over his shoulders as you begin to ride him, your eyes rolling back as you can feel yourself getting wet because of him

He squeezes his eyes shut on the sweet sensation as you say

"Round 2?" You say menacingly as you smirk down on him

He moans while laughing in the process "where have you been all my life?"

He takes care of you after you both make love again

As soon as he goes back beside you, he's picking up the clothes that he wants to put on you, you're ready to snuggle up with him and yes he will cuddle up with you as soon as he dresses at you up he insists to do that one first but you give him a scowling face

He chortled at how clingy you are

He pulled up the blankets as he lays down and he open his arms out for you

You smiled as you lay your head over his shoulders and hug him and he kisses your forehead

Now at this time, he told you everything about him, about what happened 2 years ago

"I wish I was there for you" you start "they didn't even look hard enough, you're innocent"

"I appreciate that, Y/N, Thank you"

"And I also appreciate your honesty" you pulled back to look down at him and you smile

Your prop your arm up and you say "So there's this other world that you guys called the upside down and this asshole named Vecna did this to you?"

"Yeah, that's sums it all up"

His story sounds like the sci-fic, adventure and action films that you watched before and now knowing that this really happened sends goosebumps into your skin

"Where's Jason now? I would like to punch him in the face"

"Easy there, tiger" he chuckled

"You didn't deserve that! Eddie!" Your eyes are forming with tears

Eddie pulled you into a hug as he rubs your back

He is now sobbing softly with happy tears

You're not afraid, you trust him, you accept him, and you even love him

His eyes flashes with so much gratitude

You suddenly became concerned as you heard him crying

Both of your eyes are stained with tears

"What's wrong, Ed's?"

"Nothing, I just" he sniffles "I didn't know that I got to have you and called you mine"

You smile widely "I'm yours forever"

"I'm yours forever" he keeps replaying it in his head

"I'm so lucky that you exist and you're here with me"

"Because I thought I would never have-

"Someone?"

"Yeah"

"You're my first" you admit

"What?"

"I don't wanna give myself to someone who wasn't true to himself" you paused

"I was never in love with anyone until you, Eddie"

His eyes glint with teary eyes with overjoyed coming into his face

"Me too" he says while you into his eyes and look for dishonest on them but nothing

You fall for him even harder

"I love you, Eddie"

"I love you forever and ever"

You snuggled up together as you slowly close your eyes as you drift away to sleep

Eddie is wide awake somehow gobsmacked at his life right now

He embraces you even tighter as if you might disappeared from him

You hold onto him close as you bury yourself on his chest

His sheets are now covered with your scent and he just loves it, mixed with vanilla and lavender from your shampoo

He can also smell the lotion from your soft skin, flowery and fresh scent

He smiles in content as he fell asleep....

Everything is going so well, why does it have to be like this?

An intense magnitude Earthquake happened all over across the town of Hawkins, Indiana

You and your auntie hold on to each other inside the diner

You both tried to stay calm as you both headed towards the exit

A big rumble on the ground made you both ripped at each others hands

Your eyes widen in fear and you screamed "No! Auntie!"

A big pole that fell back down on her crushes her entirely

The earthquake is becoming more and more stronger as you ran towards her

"Y/N! Stop! Save yourself!" She chokes on her own blood

"No- I won't leave you!" A small wall but heavy enough slams down on the half of your body made you screech in pain

"R-remember what I told you, sunshine"

"I-I love you" she blinks slowly and she dies

"Auntie" you cried out "N-No"

You felt dizzy and you look down wincing in pain, your head bleeds as before you got unconscious the last words you said

"Eddie...."

"I need to find Y/N before it's too late" Eddie says

"Be careful, kid" Enzo says while he and Hopper protect everyone in the open ground area

Eddie gasps as he saw you laying in your own blood, your heart is slowly beating

You're still alive, but losing a lot of blood

"Don't you die on me!" He shouts as he raises the wall that almost crushed you

Eddie saw your lifeless, Aunt, "oh- I am so sorry, sweetheart"

Your mind is hazy but you knew the person who is carrying you

"You came"

"Of course, sweetheart, I'm taking you to the hospital"

"I-I tried to save her" you say weakly your nose starts to bleed

Eddie cries in anger as he quickly finds a hospital

The earthquake is finally over, everyone was wounded, lost a loved a one, lost a home

Emergency vans, were everywhere

The hospital is crowded, every nurse and doctor are running all over the hallways

Eddie's knee kept bopping up and down as he couldn't stay calm at what you're state your in

The doctor finally talked to him and said it's bad news

"She might not make it, I'm sorry"

He cries in agony and this is his greatest fear, losing you.....unless....

There is only one solution to save you

He comes inside your room and he weep even harder as he saw you slowly breathing

It's not your time yet, this isn't fair

"I want to save you, but I don't know if it's also that you want" he says as he holds your hand

You heard him and you slowly opened your eyes and he saw it, his eyes are bloodshot from crying, his clothes are covered with your blood

"Do it, Eddie" you say

"But I don't wanna-"

"Please, Eddie, I don't want you to be alone and I don't wanna leave you behind, I really want this"

"If I do this, you might not be able to do the normal things anymore"

"Let me into your world, Eddie"

"I've got nothing to lose, I only have you" you sob

He can feel you're very certain, he warns this might hurt a little and you'll die for a second

He bites your neck and he cut his wrist to make you drink his blood

You drank a lot and you can feel your heartbeat finally comes to an end

Your eyes, your complexion is now similar to Eddie's, your hair became more wavy, your whole appearance changed

You gasped for air and you didn't feel any pain on you anymore

You looked over to Eddie and you laughed slightly and he hugs you tightly

3 months after the earthquake

Hopper grabs the walkie-talkie and he calls Eddie to come over

When he arrived Dustin and Steve and everyone is in there

He showed him the "WANTED" picture as Hopper explains the criminal that you and Eddie need to capture

Before he continues he exclaims "Where the hell is Y/N?!"

"I'm here, Jim" you say as you entered the room with Eddie's black leather jacket draped over your shoulders

Eddie smirks at your entrance

You take a quick sip of your flask with blood droplet on your chin and you wipe it off using your finger

"So, where to- Chief?" You smile with subtle red glow on your eyes

oxytocin

pairing || kas!Eddie Munson x Reader

word count || 1,883

summary || Eddie thinks he might just be able to get used to this whole vampire thing if he’s got you by his side - or rather, in his bed. 

content || smut, overstimulation, multiple orgasms, p in v sex, monsterfucking technically bc vampire!Eddie, blood drinking (gotta keep our man well fed), soft and sweet Eddie being viciously in love, fluff

a/n || listened to Oxytocin by Billie Eilish once and this happened. all aboard the whore train bc I can’t stop with this man. so pretty. also we don’t know Eddie’s middle name so of course I decided on Wayne :’)

Edward Wayne Munson is not a scary person, you’ve always known that. Even before the fateful day that drew you into each other’s orbit, when all you knew about him were rumors of Satanism and cults, you could see through the thin veil that was ‘Eddie the Freak’. There has always been a particular kindness in his warm brown eyes, even when he’s bubbling with his usual chaotic energy. Hidden underneath that metal mullet and leather jacket is a sweetheart that can’t even bear to kill the spiders he finds hiding in his room. Despite everything he’s been through, before and after being accused of a horrific murder, Eddie is gentle and kind. 

Even now, as he stares down at you with a ring of red around his irises and unnaturally sharp canines peeking out between his parted lips, you can’t find it in you to be scared of him. 

None of you quite know how or why it happened, even Eddie. All you know is your boyfriend tumbled through your bedroom window after three grief-stricken days of thinking he was dead and you don’t plan on letting him go ever again. Sure, it has been an adjustment, to say the least, but he’s still Eddie. He’s still your Eddie, who still tears up if he thinks about the one time he got a little overzealous with his teeth sunk into your neck and you nearly passed out from how much blood he took from you. 

The two of you have learned a lot since then. Eddie knows better than to wait until his hunger is so intense that it feels like his mind is boiling. You have learned about the strange pain-relieving abilities of his saliva, how the sharp prick of his teeth is always followed by a hazy almost-pleasure that makes you feel drunk. There’s no real danger in going out into the sunlight beyond some discomfort, which was deduced after a long day of experimenting with a very nervous Eddie. The most interesting thing Eddie has discovered, though?

Your blood tastes so fucking good after he’s worked you through a few orgasms. 

Eddie watches you with those red-tinged eyes as you shudder through the aftershocks of the second orgasm he’s given you tonight. The intensity he radiates only makes you shiver more. You can feel the want - no, the pure need radiating off of him in waves. It isn’t just hunger for your blood that lurks in his dark gaze. You whimper as he eases his fingers out of your oversensitive cunt and Eddie gives you that mischievous little smile that tells you he's nowhere near finished with you. 

“Oh, my pretty girl…” Eddie hums, rubbing your thigh soothingly. “You did so good for me…”

The praise lights you up, deepening the pleasurable haze that already glows through your entire body. Eddie presses closer, one hand braced in the pillows next to your head and the other cupping your cheek, his body hovering close over yours. You’re just so warm. His body temperature lingers just a few degrees cooler than the average human and he’s more than happy to leech some of that heat from you. His cool lips press against your own, coaxing them open with a flick of his tongue. Eddie’s kisses have always been deep and hungry as if he fears every time could be the last. 

You used to tease him for it - but not anymore. Not since it became too real of a possibility.

“You’ve got another one in you, don’tcha sweetheart?” His tone drips with an indulgence that you can't refuse, not with the promise of more thrumming with every wild beat of your heart. You nod emphatically, too breathless to even whisper the pleas that cling to your tongue. Eddie gives you that pretty smile you love. “That's my girl.”

There isn’t a hint of hesitation as Eddie hitches your thighs further around his waist. You feel his cock twitching against your inner thigh and for a split second, you feel bad for how neglected he is. It’s been almost an hour of relentless pleasure for you - an hour he spent rutting into the mattress, surely adding to the already endless stains in the fabric. More precum smears across your inner thigh as his hips grind against you, mindlessly searching for any friction against your skin. 

Eddie slides into you in one fluid thrust, not stopping until his pelvis presses flush against yours. You’re already so relaxed from all that time he spent with his tongue and fingers between your thighs that there’s no stretch, no pinch of discomfort. Just that pleasant fullness that takes your breath away. It’s almost too much, the surge of new pleasure through your sensitive body. Every nerve ending sings with overstimulation - and then he moves. 

A whimper flutters from you but it can barely be heard over Eddie’s broken groan. He fucks you with deep, slow rolls of his hips that send you reeling. All you can do is cling to him, fingers buried in his hair and thighs dragging him impossibly deeper. It’s almost too much to take. His cock presses against that sensitive spot inside of you with every thrust and your eyes roll, a full-bodied tremble racking through you. Eddie barely manages to pull his face out of your neck, away from the tempting scent of your blood, but he can’t resist watching you when you’re like this. So close to the edge, tears in your pretty eyes, your jaw slack as you let him fuck you stupid. 

“Look at you…” Eddie grits out, gripping your jaw when your head lolls back into the pillows. His fingers force your lips into a little pout that he can’t help but kiss you, sharp and quick in his haste to watch you cry for him. The sight you make sends a rush of emotion roaring in his ears - lust, love, pure adoration. Hunger. The pace of his hips stutters and forces a little yelp from your throat. “You sound so pretty, too.” 

You sigh his name, breathy and barely able to form the syllable. He swears he could listen to you say his name forever and never grow tired of the sound - so he lets that ravenous instinct take hold if only to hear it one more time. He thrusts into you harshly and your hands fly to his shoulders, desperate to steady yourself. “Oh, fuck - Eddie!”

His grip on the back of your thighs tightens as he sets a rough and ragged pace, ruled by the animalistic need he has neglected for far too long. You find the strength to meet his rhythm, mindlessly circling and grinding your pelvis as that crest of pleasure builds in your belly once more. A trembling groan rumbles through his chest as your pussy flexes around him, your entire body tender from his constant fucking. That unbearable burst of pleasure threatens to consume you and leave you nothing more than his pretty, fucked out little mess. 

Your nails dig into his shoulder as a broken warning tumbles from your lips. It barely even counts as words but that doesn’t matter - because Eddie knows. He knows your body like he knows every crease in his well-loved Tolkien novels; every little detail read and re-read a million times until it’s burned into the back of his mind forever. His fingers blaze a familiar path between your bodies because Eddie is greedy for your pleasure, to be the source of such bliss. 

The press of his fingers against your clit sends your back arching. The instinct to pull away from the overstimulation wars with that overindulgent voice in the back of your head that delights at the promise of more. Eddie watches you with those feral eyes as he rubs your clit, those gentle touches from earlier long gone as he tries to rip one last orgasm out of you before he reaches his own - he is a gentleman after all. 

Your thighs tremble as that pleasure finally bursts, unfurls through your body like the bloom of flower petals in spring. It’s devastating, but not only for you. A string of curses falls from his lips at the desperate fluttering of your pussy as you cum around his cock. Every bit of you is overwhelming to his senses. The wet heat of your body drawing him in, the heady smell of your pleasure saturating the air, the promised taste of your blood on his waiting tongue. Everything is you and him, together. 

As it should be. 

Eddie fucks into you in sharp, short thrusts that jolt your entire body. You keep making those hot little whimpers and yelps that make his blood boil with pure lust. He may be the otherworldly creature in this room, the one that possesses an unnatural strength and power, but you… you are the one in control. You stare up at him with those eyes glittering with love and Eddie knows, he fucking knows you have him wrapped around your little finger. He kisses you hard, tactless as he buries himself to the hilt and cums inside of you. The weight of him collapsing on top of you makes you grunt but you’re too exhausted to really complain. 

It isn’t all that surprising when he nuzzles his face into the crook of your neck. 

“Just a taste, sweetheart, I promise. Just one… little… taste…” Eddie mutters before his tongue swipes against your pulse. Even as fucked out and hungry as he is, it isn’t until you give him a nod of approval that you feel the sharp prick of his teeth digging into your neck. The pain is distant in the echoes of the orgasm that still thrums heavy in your veins, now amplified by whatever strange qualities his bite has on you. 

You sigh beneath him, unable to do much else but bury your fingers in his hair and tip your head back, giving him all the access he could ever dream of. Your other arm simply drapes over his shoulders. It’s comfortable. Known. His tongue rolls, coaxing a slow trickle of blood from the small wound. Eddie practically purrs as the rich taste of your blood tinges his tongue. That raw instinct flares to life, a sharp demand to take and take until you go limp beneath him, but it doesn’t take hold. It never could, not with the fierce gleam of love outshining everything else. He’s careful not to take too much - just enough to sate the hunger singing in his veins.

“So sweet,” He whispers as he carefully cleans your neck in wet little kitten licks. It used to make you squirm away from him, the strangeness of it all too much, but you’ve grown used to the warmth of his tongue against your throat. The wounds never last long, especially under his thorough care. You take such good care of him. Eddie can’t imagine not doing the same for you. He kisses just beneath your jaw. “Thank you, sweetheart.” 

You can only hum a positive sound, your mind and body featherlight in the aftermath. Eddie catches your lips in a coppery kiss before slipping away, stumbling off to gather a towel and water and anything else his little human could ever desire.

[mayumiiyuu]

Not too sure if you’re still taking requests but can we get more love for an Eddie x Filipina! Reader. It’s super nice having some representation (especially with your OC series)!!!

a/n: I acc am still taking reqs !! most of them are in my drafts tho bc I haven’t finished them hehe whoops

Eddie Munson w a Filipina!gf headcanons

ok first of all he would be so interested to learn about you and your culture, he just wants to know everything abt you really and since your culture is a big part of your identity he wants to learn more

i personally hc that eddie is like not a picky eater at all this man will eat anything,,, that being said he ADORES sinigang and (surprisingly) dinuguan

even when u tell him it’s basically a dish made of uhhh chicken/pork blood,,, he just blinks while he processes that info and then shrugs

“idc what it’s made of, if it tastes good it tastes good—also how fucking metal is that????”

when u guys start dating u explain to him the courtship process back in the Philippines

his eyebrows raise when he learns about harana (basically serenading someone)

literally shows up at your window under the dark of night w his guitar and sings and plays for u

learns all your favorite OPM songs on the guitar too :”D

ok we all know that eddie has this whole ‘tough metalhead dude’ look in spite of him being a total nerd so ur parents are a little apprehensive

but then when they hear him play for you outside your window and see how absolutely lovesick you are for him they just let it slide

also as they get to know him more and see how devoted he is to you they’d be like ok thumbs up bery gud

your mom will probably adore him bc he constantly asks for seconds whenever you guys have dinner at your place and it warms her heart that he appreciates her cooking so much

TEACHING EDDIE HOW TO SWEAR IN FILIPINO

“okay so one of the more popular swear words is ‘putangina mo’.”

“what does that mean?”

“it literally translates to ‘your mother is whore’ but—“

“holy shit???? that’s so mean tho I don’t wanna say that abt anyone’s mom :((“

“baby it’s ok sometimes it’s taken out of that context and usually just means fuck you.”

“yeah but still >:/“

when u teach him how to say yawa,,, or like hayop ka he uses that every time someone messes w him and they just stare at him like,,, what did u just say while ur cheering for him on the sidelines like “U TELL EM BABE”

always there to help u translate words when u forget the English translation, but like not in the he’s like an English Filipino dictionary tbh it’s more like charades.

“eds can you pass me the um… wait what’s that called again??”

“ooo act it out act it out!”

after a few minutes of charades and random hand gestures a lightbulb goes off in his head “OH U MEAN THIS—“

while he learns a lot of words from u he asks ur mom about words of endearment and then surprises u one day while giving you a hug like “hello mahal, did you eat yet?”

calls you super cute nicknames like “mahal”, “sinta”, “palangga”,

sometimes he calls you by food names which sounds weird but is actually kinda sweet such as “my little siopao” or “my sweet ensaymada”

one time he called u his cute little adobo flake and you swore you’d pass out from laughter right then and there

slowly picks up on your mannerisms, like whenever he needs to point something out he purses his lips to point at it instead of his finger

LOVES LOVES LOVES when you tell him abt Filipino creatures !!!

absolutely obsessed with the idea of the manananggal (a creature who takes the form of a woman by day then by night she separates from her torso and sprouts bat wings to feast on people) because he thinks it’s honestly so cool how there are so many different fantastical creatures around the world.

“so say I wanted to kill one, how would I do that?” “you sprinkle chili, salt, vinegar, and garlic into its lower half”

he paused for a minute.

“isn’t that basically the blend of vinegar you have in your kitchen?”

SLOW DANCES WITH YOU TO PANALANGIN BY APO HIKING SOCIETY

he honestly just loves you so much with all his heart and being, and admires how passionately you talk about your culture and history. sometimes he goes out of his way to make things/buy you things that remind you of home.

[munsons-maiden]

I already said this in the notes of one of your asks and stuff but I thought in case other people haven’t thought of this!

Everything you’ve said is so right, and I definitely think if he came back as a villain it would be about saving him since that’s the only way it would have repercussions for everyone and not just Dustin. It would absolutely be the Kas theory though. I mean with marketing Eddie as a main character after only giving him one season? Even Billy had 2 seasons. They wouldn’t repeat Billy’s storyline with Eddie, I still think the Duffers are better writers than that cause they would be very very lazy, so he’d have to be saved and over power the control. The emphasis on Dustin saying in the end Eddie was always Eddie, I think is super important to the fact that Eddie, even when flayed, would not be lost and would be so strong and do what Billy (and even Will) could not do within themselves alone and that’s beat the mind flayer/Vecnas control fully. Killing him again would also be too lazy and I still think the government would easily be able to clear his name, they’ve done it all before with other characters and it’s a fantasy show there are literally no limits. And hoppers back to put the pressure on them for him and Eddie. And let’s face it, with all the damage that has and will happen in season 5, everyone’s gonna either be dying or be leaving Hawkins after the big show climax I think lol

Also I’d just like to add to all the Eddie comes back as a villain/Kas theory stuff, I think them showing us El can stop and reverse death is really really important. Vecna is the same as El, and having two deaths prevented, one by the good side and one by the bad side, is actually one of the times where bringing people back to life in a story is NOT cheap and a really cool story choice. Parallels baby*~*~* it would make for a GREAT season theme. Cause Eddie’s death is just as cheap as Max’s NOT death if they’re alone as two separate things. But having El bring Max back and Vecna bring Eddie back? That beautiful kind of parallel? That gives Eddie a longer and better storyline, and puts more emphasis on the whole El/Vecna rivalry too. And having Eddie turn on Vecna because evil doesn’t win, and because Eddie will always be Eddie.

ALL. OF. THIS.

The Kas theory is the most plausible one - although I think every one of my followers already knows I'm talking about "Vecna resurrecting Eddie and flaying him" when I say Kas theory; which means it will definitely be about saving him like they did with Will in ST2. I wouldn't want them to bring him back as anything else but the sweet, kind, gentle Eddie I/we fell in love with - and I don't think they would bring him back if it wasn't for saving him. And who could do that better than his pal Dustin? It would so beautifully fit the narrative if Eddie, who told Dustin to promise him never to change, would have changed - only for Dustin to help Eddie get rid of Vecna's control. I can imagine it to go like this - Eddie flayed and used by Vecna as his puppet in the first half of the season until a confrontation with Dustin makes him reach his breaking point, he frees himself of Vecna's control and joins the Hawkins Heroes for the second half and final battle.

Absolutely - clearing his name would be easy with Owens' people and Hopper on board; they knew all along it wasn't Eddie and that was the reason why I was sure they'd be clearing his name by the end of ST4. It's so obvious how to do it.

"Cause Eddie’s death is just as cheap as Max’s NOT death if they’re alone as two separate things. But having El bring Max back and Vecna bring Eddie back? That beautiful kind of parallel? That gives Eddie a longer and better storyline, and puts more emphasis on the whole El/Vecna rivalry too. And having Eddie turn on Vecna because evil doesn’t win, and because Eddie will always be Eddie." YES. The duality would also perfectly underline the struggle El has been dealing with especially in ST1 and ST2, seeing herself as a monster - her bringing Max back vs Vecna bringing Eddie back, one for love and one for hate and yet Eddie's love will beat the hatred in Vecna's heart...that's the Good Stuff right there.

There are so many things which would only make sense if they went down that route: the marketing of Eddie as addition to the main cast, all the PR afterwards, the Kas symbolism tied to him (especially the spiked shield), the parallels between Eddie and Will (mainly the song playing when they die in the UD "When it's cold I'd like to die" + Wayne wearing the same jacket Jonathan did while pinning Will's Missing poster while Wayne is pinning Eddie's missing poster), Eddie as the Dungeon Master...and Eddie himself, who's been one of if not THE kindest character in the show, never portrayed as anything else but pure of heart (which is why I know the only way for him to ever become a "villain" would be via being flayed).

If they were planning to bring Eddie back all along, I'm convinced they'll go down this route.

If they didn't plan to bring him back...this route is still perfect and none of us would ever know whether it was coincidence they left the door open three inches or not. I can't tell which one it'll be but it's so EASY to bring Eddie back because there's a hole gaping in the ST5 plotline and we know they won't bring in any new characters so Vecna needs someone to do the dirty work until he's recovered from the attack and Eddie's body in the UD isn't even cold yet, just like Max's wasn't.

Bringing Eddie back would be logical, from a narrative viewpoint - and it would raise the stakes of the story to have Vecna use Eddie as his puppet because the OG cast, especially Dustin, would take care not to hurt him.

And my final point, sorry about repeating myself but this needs to be in here: the Duffers already said Eddie's death would have "huge repercussions for all survivors" - not Dustin, but all survivors. And this is the only way I could think of for that to come into fruition.

Completely agree with all your points, dear.

abt ur eddie opinion post its kind of sad we have to worry about what they woulf say ngl 🤓

LITERALLY like i’m so afraid of getting mean anons, some of his fans are so protective of him to the point that they’ll send awful hate towards people who disagree with their opinions-

and i mean maybe i’m overreacting a bit but so many of them have AWFUL fandom etiquette, especially with tagging. if i have to see one more steddie fic in the byler tag im gonna be really annoyed-

and ofc a lot of them are super chill! but i just. as always, the toxic ones are louder. and i’m so over it at this point.

still love joseph quinn though, absolute icon

also im sorry but i cannot get behind the eddie kas theory, it does not fit the themes of the show

[whydamnitwhy]

I say this with all the love in my heart for Kas/Vamp Eddie —

But it makes more sense to depict Eleven as Kas the Vampire than to say Eddie will ever become him.

Stranger Things has always played loose with the D&D lore, but by confirming in the campaign Eddie made that “Kas killed Vecna” we are establishing that the lore surrounding Vecna and Kas should be considered accurate in that world.

That lore states (loosely) that Kas and Vecna worked WITH each other before Kas betrayed and killed him.

And we can also assume that since the campaigns being played during the episodes (both in s1 and s4) take place as if the characters themselves have to fight in the “real world” where they left off in said campaign— that means Vecna had ALREADY DIED in "real world” mentality.

So, when we see that Henry had trusted El, sought out her help, received said help, then was BETRAYED by her, and even thought to have been dead— it mirrors perfectly over Kas and Vecna’s lore.

((That being said, you can pull Eddie as Kas/Vampire fanfiction/art outta my cold dead hands.))

So I just had a thought. Dangerous, I know. Trust me this one…. I didn’t like either.

So we know Eddie’s “ending” right? We know also the Duffer’s stated multiple times that was his end. Tragic hero, he’s dead dead, always how it was supposed to be. Right.

We also know (and love) the Kas theory. Right? !

But what if.

We do get Kas. And we only ever see him in the distance. Or from behind. Or in the shadows. And it’s played up the whole season to be somebody big and important. And then in the final battle. When Kas ultimately betrays Vecna. We get a close up of his face…

…

… and it’s Jason. 👀

Ok but totally objectively your Kas!Eddie posts are correct and the duffers are failing us if they don’t bring him back…

Even putting aside the massive Eddie fanbase and the Kas Lore like… this show has always been its most successful when it’s narratives are framed around saving people everyone else has given up on. That’s the entire basis of the show from season one. And if season 5 is supposed to be a narrative mirror of season one… and season one had the kids trying to save a kid (will) and the teens trying to save a teen (barb)…. Season 5 is Max and Eddie time (with, preferably, Eddie surviving as a like… more hopeful mirror of the Barb narrative. Because the teens deserve to actually save their friend for once. But at this point I’ll even take narrative closure via justice on Eddie’s death like we got for barb in s2). Bringing Eddie back for him to be the narrative focus for the “Teens Plotline” in season 5 just…makes sense.

Oh I 100% agree. I’m not typically one to believe in fan theories, but Kas!Eddie makes such an insane amount of sense that it’d be a disservice to not do it. There’s so much foreshadowing that lays the groundwork. But I don’t personally see him becoming a vampire. The way I see it, Vecna is in a weakened state after fighting El. He needs someone to do his dirty work while he regroups and Eddie’s corpse was presumably left in the Upside Down ripe for the taking. He resurrects Eddie, flays him similar to Will in season 2 and the group has to fight their friend while also trying to save him. Eventually Dustin gets through to him, Eddie betrays Vecna and joins the good guys.

I also love your comparison of Eddie to Barb and how he could mirror her storyline. But he actually heavily paralleled Will’s season 1/2 storyline which I think further supports him coming back. They were both called freaks by their bullies. They both paid a heavy price for choosing to stand their ground (Will standing his ground against the Mind Flayer in season 2 is shot eerily similar to the scene where Eddie chooses to stand his ground against the demobats). Jonathan and Uncle Wayne wore the same jacket while hanging up missing posters. Hell, the same song played during both their “deaths” in the Upside Down.

The thing that leaves me hesitant on if it will actually happen is my lack of faith in the Duffers. They’ve consistently chosen to go the easiest route possible with their storylines. And I don’t care to see him get justice if he stays dead. It does nothing for him to be proven innocent at that point. It’d just be a way for them to appease fans who want Eddie back without actually giving them what they want.

Link to parts 1-4

Here’s chapters 5 and 6! Okay so I also realized a bit ago that I had completely left out Argyle and Erica, and that wasn’t on purpose I love them! But at the same time let’s not traumatize Erica anymore and Argyle is honestly just way to high to be fighting inter dimensional beings. So It kind of worked out lol. But for the first fanfic I’ve ever written I’d say it’s going pretty well! And as always if the Kas! Theory becomes cannon this is not the type of vampires we’ll be getting.

Pairings: Kas!/vampire! Eddie X Oc, cannon ST couples

Warnings: we’ve kind of moved past vol. 2 at this point but sure vol. 2 spoilers, violence, lots of blood descriptions, death and descriptions of the dead, Knives, murder, fighting, I think that’s it? Let me know if I missed anything

Chapter 5:

I woke up the next morning to an empty bed. The light shining through the windows into my lonely little room. On the pillow next to me was a note. I sat up slowly, rubbing the sleep from my eyes and grabbed the paper.

I had to leave, couldn’t

Let him wonder where I

Was for too long. I’ll

See you on Friday, I

don’t know what will

happen. But I’ll do

everything I can to stay

in control. He’s going to

have a lot of nasties

with him. Be safe.

I love you.

I sighed, placing the note on my bedside table and getting out of bed. The clock showed it was around 11:30. I needed to be at the Wheelers soon.

I got dressed quickly, a simple black shirt and jeans. I put the necklace I’d found for Eddie in my pocket and headed downstairs. I’d wanted to give it to him the night before, but I knew he couldn’t wear it or Vecna would suspect something.

I inhaled a bowl of cereal before lacing up my boots and throwing my jacket on. It was a cold day, maybe not even fifty out. The sky was dark and grey, the air felt thick. I had an awful feeling it had something to do with the upside down.

I made my way to the Wheelers house, Steve and Jonathan’s cars were already parked out front. I walked in and descended to the basement.

The group was standing over the table again. Nancy’s guns were in the corner of the room. Lucas and Will were making spears again like we had the first time we traversed to the upside down. For a moment my mind went back to that awful moment.

I’d almost gotten the bats away from Eddie, when my spear broke and I got knocked to the ground. Watching helplessly as they tore away at him. I shook the thought out of my head, He’s back now. I thought, everything was going to be okay.

“Hey guys.” I greeted, walking over to the table to see what they were doing.

“Hey king, we’re trying to map out at least a semblance of an attack plan.” Steve told me.

I looked down at the paper, they’d drawn out stick figures to represent everyone. I laughed when I saw the Nancy drawing with a tiny revolver.

As far as I could figure Nancy and El would be going head first against Vecna.

I was with Dustin, Lucas and Steve, facing off against some crudely drawn Vampires. I could point out Eddie by the curly hair and devil horns someone had added in.

Will, Mike and Jonathan were drawn next to some bats. And apparently that was only phase one of the plan. Steve flipped the paper over.

All the baddies were dead, Eddie was drawn behind Vecna with a spear, with El in front of them. The rest of us were standing behind El, weapons at the ready.

“Seems full proof?” I said, ending it like a question.

“It’s still a work in progress.” Robin said, I nodded.

“Eddie said he’d have a lot of monsters waiting for us. I’m only worried that there’s gonna be more than just vampires and bats to worry about…” I trailed off, Nancy’s face darkened.

“You’re probably right, but there’s only so many of us, we’re just going to have to hope we’ll be able to fight them off long enough for Eleven to face him.” She said.

“You might need to lend those other two guns to Steve and Jonathan.” I told her, she nodded.

I put my hands on the table, looking over the plans again, rifling through the papers.

“New jewelry?” Robin asked me. I looked down to my hand, seeing the newest addition to my collection.

“Oh, yeah… just another reminder to get out of this alive.” I told her, she grabbed my hand to look at it closer.

“It’s pretty, I’ve never seen you wear it, you’re always in silver.” She continued, it’s not that I wanted to keep anything a secret, but I didn’t know if telling everyone ’oh yeah I got engaged last night because we have no idea if we’ll survive past Friday!’ Was really what the group needed on their minds.

“Yeah, I just wanted to switch it up.” I told her, pulling my hand away gently. She shot me a knowing glance, but didn’t say anything else. I saw Nancy staring at it too.

“No distractions… our only priority is killing Henry.” She stated, I had a feeling she’d caught on as well.

“No distractions.” I agreed.

We’d spent the rest of the day getting prepared. The guns were loaded and ready. The spears were made. I grabbed all the knives from my trunk that I’d collected since my first run in with upside down monsters.

I always had one with me, just in case I had told my self. But at this point it had become a problem, I had way to many sharp objects just sitting in my car.

“Wow Alex, don’t you think that’s a little over kill?” Mike asked. I shrugged.

“Well, the goal is definitely to kill Wheeler.” I told him.

“I call the one shaped like a claw!” Dustin called, picking up a curved knife. I chuckled, ruffling his hair a bit with my hand.

“All yours. Just, pointy end away from you alright?” I said sternly, he looked down to the blade.

“But, it’s curved…” he pointed out.

“Shit, yeah that’s true uh… mm- damnit Henderson you know what I mean!” I exclaimed.

“I know I knooww.” He laughed before walking away to show off his new toy.

We spent the rest of the day planning and preparing. By the end of the night we were exhausted. Nancy had brought every down blankets and pillows. As far as their parents were concerned we were having a group sleepover. The kids and others still in school like Robin luckily had the week off for “second spring break” considering the last one got interrupted by “earthquakes”.

I stole the reclining chair from Dustin, claiming I was older so I got first pick. He allowed it, but not without some choice words.

As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.

I’ve had a lot of nightmares or dreams I wished I could forget. But this one beat them all, I wansn’t even completely sure it was a dream.

I was back in the upside down, the grey air surrounded me, filling my lungs with toxic spores. Red lightning flashed across the sky as thunder shook the ground.

I was standing infront of Hawkins high. The entrance to the gym in front of me. Hesitantly, I moved forward, opening the doors and stepping In Side.

The first thing I noticed was the blood. The walls, the floors, even the high ceilings were covered and dripping. Spattered across any surface. My eyes travelled to the middle of the room.

There were eight bodies lying on the ground, some face down, some with their eyes glassy and unmoving, looking at but not seeing the ceiling.

I noticed Steve among the group, running over to him, trying my best not to slip on the red covered ground.

“Steve!” I cried, dropping to me knees and kneeling over him. I shook his shoulders relentlessly. “Steve, Steve c’mon man wake up!” I knew it was useless, I looked around, spotting Dustin next.

“Dustin come on! Please!” I yelled as I slid over to him, shaking him as well.

“You know they’re dead.” A voice said from behind me. I froze, knowing exactly who it was.

I turned slowly to the owner of the voice. Eddie was standing in front of me now. He was back in his old Hellfire Shirt. Blood covered his clothes, dripping from his hands. The worst was that it was also covering his face. I looked down at my friends lifeless bodies, then back to Eddie.

“You… you did this?” I asked him, almost a whisper.

“Did you really think… I would want to help you all again?” He growled, walking closer to me. “You left me. Didn’t care enough to even try and bring my body back with you. And then he still won, and none of you seemed to care that I’d died to help you.”

I stepped forward to meet him, taking his blood soaked hand. “Eddie that’s not true. You know it’s not! I contemplated going back for you every day! Not a day went by where I didn’t think about you, where I didn’t get angry at my self that I didn’t try harder.” I cried, hot tears spilling from my eyes.

“YOURE THE REASON IM DEAD ALEX!” He screamed, I shook my head, sobbing even harder.

“No… Eddie I tried… I tried to get them away I…” He leaned in closer to whisper in my ear.

“This is what’s waiting for you. Everyone you love, I’ll have you watch as he tears them apart.” The voice changed, becoming deeper and darker.

I felt the grip on my hand tighten, cutting off circulation, I could feel my bones close to cracking.

“Eddie, stop you’re hurting me!” I yelled.

“Eddies not here…” I slowly looked up to see Vecna standing in front of me, crushing my hand, not letting me out of his grasp.

“You can’t save anyone. Your friends, Eddie, your precious Hawkins… even your self.” He said, before pushing me backwards causing me to trip over the bodies of my friends, landing with a thud next to Lucas’ cold corpse.

I felt a scream rip through my body. Suddenly my eyes flew open, I was shaking, breathing heavily as I took in my surroundings. I was back in the Wheelers basement. Sun shined through the small windows.

“Alex! Hey! Hey are you okay?” Steve was gripping my shoulders, looking at me with concern.

I shook my head. “Vecna… I- I don’t know if it was just a dream or if he was really there…” I trailed off, not wanting to relive what I had just witnessed.

“What happened?” Nancy asked.

Chapter 6:

I told them about the dream, down to every bloody detail (literally). Steve was pacing again, Nancy had a look of worry on her face as well as the rest of the group.

“Do you think he knows? About Eddie?” Robin asked.

I shook my head. “I’m not sure, maybe he does and that’s why he made a point to tell me he’d make him kill all of you. Or maybe he was just trying to mess with my head because he knew we we’re together before he died.” I told her. “I don’t even know if it was actually him or just a dream, it felt real though.” I finished.

“We have to be on even higher guard when we go in now. If there’s a chance he knows about Eddie we might not have the advantage we thought we had.” She told us, I agreed. But part of me was more worried about if Eddie was okay, if Vecna did know, what was stopping him from killing him immediately.

“What time is it now?” Steve asked.

Dustin checked his watch. “3:30, we slept in a bit.” He told us.

“We’ll leave at six, when it starts to get dark.” Nancy said.

“The closest gate opening is gonna be town hall. It’s only a couple minutes to school from there.” I told them.

The next few hours were spent finalizing our plan. We all geared up to face, well. Whatever Vecna had in store. I kept it simple. Strapping a long knife to my thigh and a shorter one to my arm, hiding a few in my boots for good measure.

Steve and Jonathan had each taken a gun, Steve also sported the old baseball/nail bat, Nancy of course kept her shot gun.

In truth we didn’t want to drag the kids into all of this at first, but they wouldn’t take no for an answer, pointing out that the last time we split up it didn’t go so well.

Steve and Robin had made more Molotov cocktails, Dustin and Lucas had spears strapped to their backs. Mike and Will raided my knife collection, El didn’t have anything… though I guessed her mind would be enough, Steve made her wear a vest though. Just for extra protection he said.

Nancy and Mikes parents had taken their little sister out for ice cream. Telling us to be good and all that, if only they knew…

“Alright… I think that’s everything. It’s just past six. Are we ready?” Jonathan asked.

We all looked around at each other, the stress and anxiety shone clear on our faces.

I sighed, taking one last look at the group. “Yeah, as ready as we can be.” I said.

The days had been slowly getting longer, but the sun had begun setting as we all piled in the cars and headed to town hall.

It wasn’t in use currently, being split in half and all. The red glow of the gate could easily be seen. I had no idea how the regular people of Hawkins didn’t notice it, or maybe they just chose to ignore it.

We parked a few yards down, not wanting to draw any attention and got out. Making sure our bags and supplies were with us. As we made our way we kept to the walls and alleys of the buildings. I had an overwhelming feeling of being watched, but maybe that could have just been chalked up to my anxiety.

“There it is…” Dustin pointed out as we walked up on the gate. The red fleshy substance glowing and pulsating.

“Alright… we know the plan? Adults go in first, when we’re all on the other side. We stick together, no matter what.” Nancy said, we nodded in agreement.

Steve went in first, ripping through the gates fleshy membrane with his bat, the getting to the ground to try and roll in. He disappeared through the hole (or chasm really).

We all ran to the edge, waiting to see if he’d made it okay.

“Well? Come on.” He said, looking up at us (or down?).

Nancy went next, then Robin, Jonathan after, then finally came my turn.

I rolled through the gate, landing with a thud into the upside down. It was just how I’d remembered it, just how I’d dreamed it.

The sky lit up with red lightning, white spore like flurries fell all around us. The air was thick and grey. I had hoped I’d never be here again. But I had a job to do, and a fiancé to save.

One by one the kids came through, Mike and Will thought it was fun. Lucas looked scared out of his mind. I could tell Dustin was also thinking about what happened the last time we were here, trying to push the memories out of his head.

“Alright. Let’s get moving.” Robin said, taking the lead of the group to the school.

Dustin fell into step next to me. “Can I be part of the wedding party?” He asked, my head snapped over to him.

“What?” I asked in surprise.

“The ring, Eddie showed it to me before… everything.” He said, looking down sadly.

I put an arm around his shoulder as we walked. “Of course he’d tell you.” I laughed. “Yeah, you definitely can, let’s just not jump the gun and start wedding planning all ready okay?” I said as I ruffled his hair. He laughed with me, giving me a short nod.

When I looked back up I could see the school in the distance, the clouds were thicker around it. But unlike I had thought, it didn’t seem to be guarded by anything. No bats, no demodogs, nothing around as far as I could tell. That was probably a bad sign.

“I guess he wants us to go right in…” Steve said.

“Well, let’s give him what he wants then.” Nancy spoke lowly, forging ahead of the group.

We made our way to the front doors of the school, trying to be a bit more sneaky than just walking in to the gym.

The halls were covered in vines, making it hard to just walk through. The worst part were the bodies.

Many of the missing people from after the earthquake hit. They were pinned to the lockers and walls, limbs broken and eyes imploded. I recognized a few people. Katie Greenshaw, head cheerleader my senior year, Ned weller, he worked at the local car shop a few blocks down from my house. And even more people I had once known, all becoming part of macabre decor of the upside down Hawkins high.

Steve stopped to look at one of the bodies, an old buddy of his Kyle Harden. I saw him choke back a sob before looking back to us.

“Come on… we can’t waste any more time.” He said before trudging ahead.

As we kept walking the feeling of being watched only grew, when all of a sudden a saw movement out of the corner of my eye. I stopped, looking down the hall.

“Did you see that?” I whispered to the group, they all looked around quickly.

“See what?” Lucas asked in a hushed tone.

“I- I thought I saw something move, let’s hope it was just one of these creepy ass vines.” I said as I started forward again, I knew I shouldn’t have been so optimistic.

After I took a step forward my legs were taken out from under me. I hit the ground hard, my head slamming down on the tiled floors.

“ALEX!” I heard Mike yell as I was being pulled down the hall way. In the blink of an eye the group was far gone. I was laying face down in some corridor of the school. Head pounding and ears buzzing.

I could hear distant shouts and screams of my name.

“Well hello again.” A familiar voice said, I sat up quickly only to be greeted with the bastard from the alley way.

I was finally able to get a good look at him, his eyes were bloodshot, once green turned dark and red. He was spattered with blood, his face covered in it. He looked like a beginner body builder, not quite Rambo yet, but his shirts were definitely a size too small.

“Ya know, maybe we got off on the wrong foot last time. What do you say we put that behind us?” I tried, hoping he’d say ‘oh yeah! That sounds like a great idea!’

I was very wrong, in a second his foot came down at me. I felt a wave of pain crash over me as he kicked me in the stomach, sending me flying into a trophy case.

The glass shattered all around me, sinking into my skin and hands and I fell hard on the shards.

“Guess not.” I struggled out.

As fast as I could I got to my feet, pulling out the knife I had strapped to my arm.

“Sorry it’s not a wooden stake. But it’ll have to do.” I sneered, he gave me a lopsided grin and charged.

I thought I was doing good for a moment. He was extremely fast, but I dodged his fist go, slashing at his arm as he ran by. He growled in pain, the look in his eyes as he turned to me let me know i’d only succeeded in making him more angry.

He leapt for me again, this time not missing. I let out a yelp as he tackled me to the ground, we rolled away, both fighting for control.

He won, hovering over me as he delivered a solid punch to the face. I heard a crack, something (probably my nose, maybe my jaw I didn’t have time to register where the pain was coming from) was definitely broken.

I rolled away from his next punch, wrapping my leg around him and pulling him under me. My knife had been knocked away, so I grabbed the one from my boot and hacked wildly. He grabbed my arm with his hand, stoping my onslaught.

My other hand came down on his throat, squeezing with all the strength I could muster. We rolled again. This time I was being choked. He was more relentless than last time. Black spots danced across my eyes. I tried to push him away, turning my head to see my knife just within arms reach.

I looked back to him, trying to keep all of his focus on my face, before I reached out for the knife.

“Wouldn’t have had to die like this if you’d just stopped fighting back the first ti-“ he was cut off by my knife plunging into his chest.

“Wouldn’t have to die like this if you just weren’t such a dick.” I choked out.

He struggled to breathe for a moment, quickly choking on blood. His grip on my throat loosened as I watched his eyes roll into the back of his head, he slumped to the side, falling off of me.

I crawled away from his body quickly. Struggling to get to my feet. Grabbing my knives and running the other direction. I didn’t care if I stepped on the vines. It was obvious Vecna knew we were here.

“Alex! Alex!” I heard my name from down the hall.

“I’m here!” I called.

The other came into view, quickly turning the corner and almost running into me.

“Oh thank god!” Dustin cried, enveloping me in a hug, I groaned from the pain in my ribs, but was happy to see him nonetheless.

“What happened?” Robin asked breathlessly. I pointed down the hall to the body.

“The vampire from the alley way, we had a nice chat.” I huffed out, wiping the blood off my knife on my pant leg and sheathing it.

“We’ve gotta keep moving, he knows we’re here.” Nancy said.

“Should have just went to the gym…” I mused, I could tell the others were thinking the same thing now.

We ran through the hallways as quick as we could, staying as close together as possible. We didn’t stop, didn’t look around, just kept running.

We’d finally made it to the doors that led into the gym.

“I just wanna say, if we die… I love you guys.” Dustin said.

I patted him in the shoulder, not looking away from the door.

“Like wise Henderson.”

Steve took hold of the handle, looking back to us quickly, Nancy gave him a curt nod. And with that he swung the doors open, the group rushing in. El took the lead, ready to super hero her way into the gymnasium.

We were met with no resistance, but two figures standing still in the middle of the room. Vecna. And Eddie.

For Eddie, working at the local coffee shop down the street from his dorm seemed like a perfectly good idea at the time. It was close by, it allowed him to work flexible hours and he was offered all the free coffee his heart desired. At first, it really was the dream job. He got to meet new people and improve on his social skills on a daily basis.

That is, until the customer from hell made it his mission to make Eddie feel like was the size of a pea.

It all started on a Saturday, a few weeks since he took on the job and his first Saturday on the lunchtime rush. Everything had been going smoothly until Daniel showed up. Daniel was an asshole in every way shape and form. He was the son of a lawyer, and because of this, believed that the world revolves around him and everyone had to stop what they were doing the moment he stepped into the coffee shop.

As it was Eddie’s first Saturday shift, no-one had thought to warn him about Daniel, and therefore he wasn’t prepared for when the man roughly grabbed his shoulder when he was in the middle of speaking to another customer. Long story short, Daniel had berated Eddie for not being at the till the second he walked in, and he screamed right in his face in front of all the customers.

It wasn’t until after he had gone, huffing and puffing about ‘crappy service’ that the other girl behind the counter told Eddie all about Daniel and his rudeness. She also told him not to take anything he says to heart, as he is just what some people call a ‘Chad’. Eddie had been so confused he’d left work and gone straight to his boyfriend Richie’s place and asked him to explain.

Once he knew exactly what the girl was talking about, Eddie had to agree. Daniel was definitely a Chad.

Eddie firmly believed that that was that, and the next time Daniel came in he would just be on his toes. However, it seemed as though Daniel had other plans, and the next time he came in it was with the most complicated coffee order. For the life of him, Eddie could not get it right and Daniel didn’t hold back on his creative insults, both to Eddie’s face and to the other customers that were coming in and out of the coffee shop.

After that, it became a regular thing. Every Saturday that Eddie was working, Daniel would come in and have a new and inventive method to get under his skin. It was really starting to wear Eddie down and affect not only his school life, but his relationship with Richie.

This Saturday was just like no other, except this time, Daniel had attacked him about his personal life, not just his coffee making abilities. He had ranted about how useless Eddie was and how he was surprised that he had any friends, never mind someone to have a serious relationship with. After all, who would want to date someone so useless?

That hit a little too close to home for Eddie, and he had to excuse himself into the back of the coffee shop to calm down. The manager, who was working that day, came through and told him that he could leave early, as what Daniel had said was out of line. Eddie hated that they couldn’t do anything, as he was still a valued customer who brought in a lot of pennies.

At first, all Eddie wanted to do was go home, have a bath and cry, but the more he thought about it on his walk to his apartment, the more he actually didn’t want to be alone. He wanted to be with Richie. So he turned on his heels and headed to the subway station, sending his boyfriend a message to let him know he was on his way.

Coming over, feeling a little…edgy - Eddie

The reply was instant.

It’s like you read my mind Eds, see you soon! - Richie.

When he walked into Richie’s apartment, he didn’t even have to say anything for Richie to know what was wrong. This time though, Richie wasn’t in the mood to sit and talk about the asshole from Eddie’s work, and Eddie wasn’t either. As he stepped into the living room, Richie patted his lap, a smirk on his face.

“Hey baby, come sit on my lap?”

Eddie let out a sigh and dropped his stuff by the door, crossing the room and climbing into Richie’s lap, letting their lips come together softly, at first, before it turned dirty. Richie’s hands moved under Eddie’s work shirt and pulled it up, aiming to remove it. With a giggle, Eddie lifted his arms, allowing Richie to pull the shirt off and toss it onto the floor to be dealt with later.

“Eager hm?” Eddie asked and Richie just silenced him with his lips, licking into his mouth, their tongues moving together in harmony. Eddie loved kissing Richie, the feeling of their lips always sent shivers down his spine, no matter what. Richie’s fingers had moved to his pants now, fumbling to undo the button.

As soon as the button was undone and the zipper tugged down, RIchie dipped his hands down Eddie’s pants and his boxers, wrapping it around his already hardening cock, smirking at the soft gasp that escaped Eddie’s lips. “I have the blue balls baby,” Richie breathed into his ear. “We haven’t been down and dirty in what…four days?”

A flush rose up on Eddie’s cheeks as Richie started pumping his cock, thumb flicking over his head every so often to make him whimper with need. His boyfriend was right, it had been a little too long since they’d been to bed together, and it was clearly showing in their frantic moves to get some action. “Y-Yeah,” he breathed, eyes falling closed. “S-sounds bout right…”

“I can’t go four days without getting a dicking baby,” Richie cooed, quickening his movements. “You should know this about me already.” Eddie just nodded, his breathing becoming heavier as Richie picked up the pace. He wasn’t going to last long, and it seemed that Richie didn’t care. “I want you to come like this Eds, fuck you need it. Then, I’m going to take you to bed and ravage you so the only thing left on your mind is my cock inside your ass.”

“Oh fuck,” Eddie gasped, his eyes rolling backwards as he surged forward, caputuring Richie’s lips. A few pumps of his boyfriend’s hand and he was coming like a fucking teenager into his underwear. He rocked his hips into Richie’s hand, riding out his orgasm until the sensitivity set in and he collapsed against his chest. “Jesus fucking christ,” he panted.

Richie laughed, “Not jesus baby, just Richie.” Eddie suppressed a groan and Richie moved to stand up, ready to carry him into the bedroom for the second part of the evening.

Yes, Eddie might still have to deal with shitty customers at work, but as long as he had Richie to come home to at the end of an awful day, he was sure he’d survive.

Book Fifty-Three: Song of Susannah

See the TURTLE of enormous girth!

On his shell he holds the earth,

His thought is slow but always kind;

He holds us all within his mind.

On his back the truth is carried,

And there are love and duty married.

He loves the earth and loves the sea,

And even loves a child like me. 

In every epic series, there’s what I refer to as the “bridge” novel. Song of Susannah is the bridge novel in the Dark Tower series. Except for the coda at the end, nothing major happens; it just sets up the epic final novel. 

For the first time ever, the ka-tet is scattered: Roland and Eddie are tracking down Calvin Tower, the owner of the land where the beautiful rose currently resides; Susannah and Mia are in 1999 New York City, headed to the Dixie Pig to deliver their baby; and Callahan, Jake and Oy are headed after Susannah. 

We find out more about Mia, and how the baby she and Susannah are carrying was fathered by Roland (seriously confusing case of sperm snatching and then demon turkey basting into Susannah). Mia believes that the Crimson King is going to let her hold onto her baby, at least for a little while... and Susannah correctly calls her out as the fool she is. So, Susannah tries to drag her heels, but with the help of a magical carved turtle, they end up as guests of honor at The Dixie Pig. 

Gulp. 

Roland and Eddie end up thrown into a gunfight, courtesy of Mia. Calvin Tower hasn’t done the best job of hiding out from the mafia who is strong-arming him into selling his bookstore. Eddie wants to choke the life out Tower for being a stubborn pain in the ass. Roland just smirks and tells him if he was successful in not killing Eddie when he was coming off of heroin, Eddie can control his rage too. After telling Tower and his pal to keep a low profile (for real this time!) they end up visiting the one and only Stephen King. 

Steve freaks out seeing Roland. At this point, he had written a draft of the first Dark Tower book, but had lost it. He was also drinking pretty heavily, soooo, yeah. But the conversation between Steve, Eddie and Roland is surreal. I can’t help but wonder how much fun Steve had writing that scene. 

Jake, Oy, and Callahan pop in towards the end of the book, they grab Black Thirteen from the hotel Susannah and Mia had stashed it at, and show up at The Dixie King, ready to go to battle to rescue Susannah. 

Hands down, the best part of the novel is the coda at the end. It’s journal entries from Steve, covering what books he was writing, and how they all seemed to tie back to The Dark Tower. I’m sure a good portion was autobiographical, since he talks about publishing, readers reactions, his substance abuse issues and eventual sobriety, and even letters he had received. But the end is one hundred percent fiction. Dun-dun-dun!!!! 

In addition to all the books mentioned in the coda, here are a few more nods to the Steve universe:

-the concept of “pain rising” and Eddie biting down on a belt while Roland takes care of a gunshot wound: same thing Ted Brautigan does with Carol when she dislocates her shoulder in Hearts in Atlantis. 

-The Little Sisters are mentioned! 

All and all, this might be the weakest of the later book in the series, but it helps lay the groundwork for an epic finale.

On a personal note, I’m writing this book on Steve’s birthday. I just wanted to use this opportunity to explain why he’s so important to me. I didn’t always have the best childhood, and books were a constant escape for me. When I was feeling stressed and overwhelmed with shit twelve year-olds shouldn’t have to deal with, I’d hide in a book. I’d tune out the world, and escape in a fantasy realm. And I loved Steve’s books, because for a little while, my own world didn’t seem so bad in comparison. Hours would pass where I’d forget about my parents fighting, or the fact I didn’t have money for the class fieldtrip, or my complete lack of normal social skills. The world was okay between the pages of a book. Thank you to Steve for still giving me a place to hide in a year that has presented some new and unique challenges. 

Steve, you are like my sixteen year old cat, Jackers... familiar, wildly entertaining, and my greatest wish is for the both of you to be eternal; because I don’t want to know a world without either one of you in it. Thank you. 

Until next time, Long Days & Pleasant Nights, Rebecca

Reddie fic sneak peek

Hiiii!!  I’m nervous af to post any of this at all including this little sneak peek D:  I haven’t posted anything in a year (lmao) but here is a bit of my Reddie reunion fic.  

Note:  I had a tag list on my old account reddiepop, but since lots of people have either moved on or changed their names since way back then, I am only keeping some of it.  I will use what I left here and if you don’t want to be on it just let me know.  If you want to be on it- also let me know.  

Okay here we go it’s not edited and I’m still writing it so some of it could change ahhhhhh 

Also I don’t think a spoiler warning is needed for this buuuut I guess if you are weary of them then don’t read this yet.  

______________________________________

A trickle of fear pricks the back of Richie’s neck, but he ignores it, and heads off straight down the road.  The sidewalk is cracked and old, but safe enough, and the houses they walk by in the neighborhood are all dark.  It’s a vague memory itching the back of his skull, but Richie’s pretty sure he used to bike this way to school.  Or maybe to someone’s house.  

“Shit.  I used to live down here,” Eddie says suddenly, walking ahead a bit, disappearing in the shadows between the tall street lamps. “Yeah.  Right here, I think.”  

They pause in front of a blue house with green shutters, trees overgrown all around the trimmed yard and a trampoline set up out front.  Up on the second floor, the north-facing window stands wide open; Eddie’s old bedroom.

In the dark Eddie whispers, “It looks different,” and moves close to the new fence wrapped around the yard.  He leans against it, eyes fixed on the open window.  “Smaller.”  

Richie glances down at Eddie’s fingers, gripped tight on the splintery edges, not as small and slim as they used to be, but still much smaller than his own.  A younger part of him longs to reach out, lace their fingers together and hope that Eddie understands so he doesn’t have to say a word.  

“Remember when I used to climb in your window?”  Richie says, brushing his elbow over Eddie’s arm.  

Eddie nods as they both push away from the fence and walk on.  “Waking my mom up at fucking two am on a school night?  Yeah, I remember that.”  

“You loved it.”  

“I remember always telling you to keep quiet,”  Eddie continues.  “But your clumsy ass fell all over the floor.”  

Richie chuckles, glancing around as they leave the street behind.  “Your face would get all--”  Richie pushes his brows together and pouts, folding his arms over his chest.

“Because you got me grounded!”  

“Richie, get the fuck out!”  Richie cries, pitching his voice higher to match the memory of Eddie’s whine-y tone.  “Richie, quit rolling in my sheets!  You’re gonna make them stink!”  

“You had bad BO!”  Eddie says, but he’s smiling.  “You smelled like armpits.”  

Richie gasps, slowing down as the shapes of a playground emerge in the dark, catching his eye.  “I didn’t smell like fucking armpits.”  

“You did sometimes.”  

“You liked my stink,” Richie says, distracted.  “Hey.  Didn’t we used to come here?”

Eddie glances over to the playground, deep in the park- Bassey park, if Richie remembers correctly- and shrugs.  “I don’t know.  Maybe?  You always dragged me out late to some park.” 

“You needed it,” Richie says, then steps on the grass and heads for the playground.  

“Wait, Rich-” 

“Move your ass, Eduardo,” Richie shoots back, cutting Eddie’s protests off before they can start.  “Bet you still can’t reach the monkey bars.”  

“Fuck you,” Eddie snaps, but his footsteps follow Richie toward the swing-set.  “I could always reach them, dickhead.”

“Sure.”  

The metal is all rust and rot, time and lack of use and maintenance destroying this place from their childhood.  Passing under the monkey bars, Richie snags the closest swing by the chain, giving it a swift tug.  The top hinge groans.  

Eddie’s warmth presses to Richie’s side, a brief touch that ends when Eddie scoffs at the discolored chain.  “I’m not getting on that fucking thing.”  

Richie gives a low, long whistle, moving on to the next swing.  “I don’t know.  It’d probably hold you up.”  

“The hell does that mean?”  

Shrugging, Richie abandons the swingset and heads over to the large, dark shape of the roundabout, next to the sandbox he’s pretty sure he lost several pairs of glasses in as a kid.  “You’re smol.  Or whatever the kids say.”  

“Smol?”  

“Smol.”  

Richie grins wide, chuckling when Eddie glares at him.  There are a few street lamps close enough to keep the park dimly lit.  He can just see Eddie’s expression, but not the hazel hue of his eyes.  And before Eddie can go off on a rant about being average height for a man or whatever, Richie plops down on the edge of the roundabout, testing the give of the metal by wiggling around.  

“What are you doing?”  Eddie asks, voice going higher at the end.  “That things going to snap.”  

“Nah, it’s fine,” Richie says, then leans back on his elbows between two of the yellow, curved bars, stretching his legs out on the grass.  “Me and Bev used to smoke here.”  

Eddie shakes his head, hands on his hips as he glances back toward the empty street.  “Of course you did.”

Smash Favorite Polls

Over the summer I did a series of Twitter polls asking people who their favorite players of different characters were. Not the best, their favorites. This is a thing I did out of pure curiosity, because I sometimes think of what my answers would be and wonder how abnormal my preferences are. (Turns out they are, but not always where I expected.)

Some people have asked if I could do a post discussing the results, so here’s that.

Caveat: This is not hard science. These polls did not have significant sample sizes, and the self-selected population “Ian’s Twitter Followers” isn’t likely to represent the whole Smash community. (I have a statistically high number of SJW HBox fans, because that’s part of my brand.)

Criteria: I ran polls on half the tier list starting with Marth (#3) and ending with with Mario (#15). I didn’t bother with anyone below that because there aren’t many truly low-tier mains to choose between, and, well, I can’t say I’m that curious who the three favorite Roy players are. I skipped Fox and Falco because fuck space animals. I also threw in a few extra questions I was curious about, which we’ll get to.

Anyhoo, here are the results.

Marth

Winner: Mew2King Total Votes: 82 Correct Answer: PPMD Write-Ins: Ken Link to Poll: https://twitter.com/InnuendoStudios/status/870316744925208577

I was very surprised by the lack of love for PewPewU in this one. PPMD had been inactive for almost two years at the time of the poll and still wildly outperformed PewPewU. I can’t really blame folks, as I like PewPewU a lot but would still pick both PPMD and M2K before him. I wonder if PewPewU, being the perennial 9th place finisher, is also the perennial second-favorite Marth; he might do better in a runoff vote where he would get points for being a second favorite. As it stands, you only get points for being first, and he’s not many peoples’ fave.

Sheik

Winner: Plup Total Votes: 50 Correct Answer: Kirbykaze Write-Ins: Amsah Link to Poll: https://twitter.com/InnuendoStudios/status/870756094435622913

Plup took first, but another strong showing for M2K. I figured if we were asking for favorite players, not best players, that we’d see greater preference for flashiness, but M2K’s defensive, optimized play keeps performing well. Then again, it’s my theory that M2K is the beating heart of the Melee scene, so maybe personality trumps play style. (The write in for Amsah was from me; he’ll always be #1 in my heart but there wasn’t room for him in the poll.)

Jigglypuff

Winner: Hungrybox Total Votes: 95 Correct Answer: Hungrybox Write-Ins: Zasa, Tekk, s0ft Link to Poll: https://twitter.com/InnuendoStudios/status/871189445038546945

HBox took first place, and “I’m a jerk who hates Puff” took second, with Prince Abu and 4% tying for third with only 9% each. If you like Puff at all, there’s no reason you wouldn’t like HBox the most, and I’m frankly surprised “Hates Puff” didn’t win by a landslide. My followers are good like that. Notably, one of the highest voter turnouts of the whole endeavor, which will become a theme.

Peach

Winner: Armada Total Votes: 59 Correct Answer: Armada Write-Ins: Freeze Link to Poll: https://twitter.com/InnuendoStudios/status/872079889326886914

In my heart of hearts, the correct answer is Milktea, but far more for admiring the person than for her play style. (There aren’t many surviving videos of Milktea in her prime, so I’m not even familiar with her style.) Of the people who actually made the poll, there wasn’t really a contest. (I think the write-in “Freeze” is a “freeze peach” joke. Right? I’m right, aren’t I?)

Ice Climbers

Winner: Wobbles Total Votes: 105 Correct Answer: Wobbles Write-Ins: Drunksloth Link to Poll: https://twitter.com/InnuendoStudios/status/872870056581111809

Between this and the Jigglypuff poll, I notice that the characters who are “ruining Smash“ tend to get the highest voter turnout, and the players most associated with that character won both polls. Fly Amanita’s rep for being the “only cool IC” didn’t rescue him from fourth place, getting outranked by noted pariah Nintendude, who nearly tied with fan favorite ChuDat. Not sure if my followers are just weirdos or if the idea that Chu is beloved and ICs are otherwise despised is somewhat distorted.

Captain Falcon

Winner: S2J Total Votes: 61 Correct Answer: Jeapie Write-Ins: Isai, Hax, Scar Link to Poll: https://twitter.com/InnuendoStudios/status/872870056581111809

One of the tighter races, S2J only barely edging out Wizzrobe. (So, again, a solid performance from a player who’s supposedly making the game not fun.) Jeapie getting only 6% is a goddamn travesty. Thought n0ne would do better here, he’s supposed to be the fan favorite. Anyway, West Coast wins out over 20GX, but not by much.

Mid-Tier Mains (Pikachu vs. Yoshi)

Winner: aMSa Total Votes: 69 (nice) Correct Answer: Axe Write-Ins: Leffen’s MewTwo Link to Poll: https://twitter.com/InnuendoStudios/status/873306882550763521

There aren’t enough noteworthy Pikachu or Yoshi mains to make either poll worth doing, so I just pitted aMSa and Axe against each other. I’m punching my chad for Axe, but I feel like death about it. This is a poll where the only correct move is not to play. For write-ins, people tried to vote Abate and A Rookie, but I’m disqualifying them because they appear in the Luigi and Mario polls later on. Should technically disqualify Leffen as well, but there wasn’t room for him in the Pocket Low-Tier poll downthread so I'm letting him hang out here.

Samus

Winner: Plup Total Votes: 55 Correct Answer: ESAM Write-Ins: none (not n0ne, just... no write-ins) Link to Poll: https://twitter.com/InnuendoStudios/status/873674261701033984

Plup wins again! First person to win two polls. Duck and Hugs dead-even at 2nd with 27% each. ESAM comes in last because people have no souls. Some debate in the comments about whether or not Samus is fun to watch. (Someone says she isn’t, but they are wrong.)

Luigi

Winner: Abate Total Votes: 39 Correct Answer: Eddy Mexico Write-Ins: Ka-master, Luigikid Link to Poll: https://twitter.com/InnuendoStudios/status/874040581311352833

Only put two players on this poll, since I knew one or the other would win. Maybe I’m just being contrarian by stumping for Eddy Mexico over Abate, as both are excellent players and I root for either one easily. Abate only one by a small margin, anyway, so seems people are about as split as I am. Starting to see a drop-off in voter turnout as we get lower in the tier list.

Ganon

Winner: Bizarro Flame Total Votes: 38 Correct Answer: Bizarro Flame Write-Ins: n0ne, Lythero Link to Poll: https://twitter.com/InnuendoStudios/status/874672698194046978

This, at least, makes sense to me. Bizz won in a landslide. I mean, that’s how I would vote as well, though I wish Kage had made a stronger showing in second. Eikelmann manages the only 0% of all the polls. Someone in the comments argued that n0ne’s Ganon secondary is arguably the best Ganon, period, calling him “a more toned down version of everything bizz wants to do.” I don’t really disagree, though it seemed like cheating throw secondaries in against mains. That said, Kage still consistently beats n0ne in Ganon dittos, so n0ne having the best play style is still theoretical.

Mario

Winner: Scorpion Master Total Votes: 60 Correct Answer: A Rookie Write-Ins: none (again, not n0ne, even though his Mario is very good) Link to Poll: https://twitter.com/InnuendoStudios/status/875146202827849728

The only appearance of Mango in this entire endeavor and he beats out A Rookie. I expected better of you people.

Pocket Low-Tiers

Winner: Plup Total Votes: 57 Correct Answer: Axe Write-Ins: Westballz, Leffen Link to Poll: https://twitter.com/InnuendoStudios/status/875834490404392960

OK, I’m sorry, but this is nonsense. Plup decided to main Luigi at CEO Dreamland in April (probably as a joke) and took 5th place, above PewPewU, Axe, Duck, The Moon, n0ne, and MacD. The highest ranking actual Luigi main was in 25th. And that’s impressive, I’m not denying that. But did anyone even know he had a Luigi before that? And already you like his Luigi more than Axe’s Young Link, Hungrybox’s Ness, and n0ne’s Ganon? Are you serious with this shit? I wanna re-run this poll when Plup’s Luigi isn’t The New Hotness and see how he stacks up, because this is silly. I mean, have you seen Axe’s Young Link??? Have you seen HBox’s Ness??? People wrote in Westballz’ Donkey Kong and even that makes more sense. Anyway, hooray, Plup wins three polls and is clearly the hands-down fan favorite who isn’t Mango. You’re all on notice.

Main You Miss The Most

Winner: Hax Total Votes: 63 Correct Answer: Hax Write-Ins: Plup’s Samus (disqualified) Link to Poll: https://twitter.com/InnuendoStudios/status/876440529021566976

Hax’s Captain Falcon is the right answer here, though the few random times he’s brought out the Falcon in tournament have not gone well for him. I think, at this point, people just wanna see Hax play anyone. Mango’s Jigglypuff outperformed Shroomed’s Dr. Mario, which... again... what is wrong with people?
