Wayne looks at Eddie and sees alot of himself.

He sees the snarky attitude. The sarcasm. The anger, the resentment. Sees the slight crookedness to his nose from a school fight years ago, crooked just like his from when he fought back in a drunken rage against his own father. He sees the smile and crinkle of his eyes and has to stop himself from pulling out the photos of him when he was younger, when he and his brother were in school, where he would smile wide for picture day, eye-smiles wide enough to block his vision.

He sees it all, and thinks, that's my boy. No one knows him like I do. No one knows just how fucking important he is. But by god, he will try to make them see. Would hold his hand when walking him into school, chat to his teachers, and say 'He really likes reading', and list all the books he had on the coffee table Eddie would scrounge through (a total of five, if they didn't count the magazines, newspaper, and pamphlets).

He'd twirl him around in the air out in the park when he was still in his single digits and not yet living with Wayne fulltime. Would throw him up and help him fly like he asked, would zoom him around the manmade construct and listen to the story his boy would tell, hanging on every word.

He sees alot of himself in Eddie, but he's surprised when he sees a bit more.

It all starts when he comes home from his shift, which have been shortened and his pay raised in apology for witch-hunting his nephew just months before.

He gets to their new little home, a two bedroom bungalow with enough space in all the rooms to have a family Christmas dinner, and sees a shiny BMW in the driveway. It's familiar. He knows who's home.

He walks inside, kicks off his boots, and when he turns to grab a drink from the kitchen, he sees it.

Eddie and Steve rolling out dough, cookie cutters strewn over their kitchen island.

There's flour over their cheeks, just a slight dusting, but it's all so sweet and domestic that he needs a moment.

He sees it all, and just like he does all the time with Eddie, sees himself.

Sees himself and someone he thought he was over long ago.

But here he is, just outside his kitchen, watching his boy and his friend make biscuits, laughing and throwing rolled balls of dough at eachother, and it reminds him of when it had all changed for him.

Reminds him of tough, but gentle, hands. Reminds him of deep blue eyes and blonde locks. Reminds him of whispered promises and hugs that lasted a second too long.

He sees his boy and his friend making biscuits in the kitchen, and Wayne knows.

He sees it.

Eddie and him, they are so alike.

Because his boy has the same look in his eye that he did himself when he left his family, left his brother and his father, and held tightly onto a pair of hands that carried his heart.

He looks at Eddie who looks at Steve with such compassion, so carefree as the sun's light streams though the windows, dough under his fingernails, and he sees himself.

"You better pick all that up," They turn to him, shock on their faces, a wide eyed look on the Harrington boy, and he nods his head. "Don't want dough all over this new kitchen, boys," Is all he says before forgoing his drink, and marching upstairs to his room.

He finds the old shoebox of photographs, picks a few out, and looks. Memorises them, burns them into memory.

The first one is of him and a man he once knew, an arm over his shoulders as they look at one another. He looks at the soul he once knew and sighs. Those eyes, he thinks, those eyes sparkled with life. He looks at himself and blinks. So much alike, him and Eddie.

The second one is blurry, hazy. A picture taken quickly and unsteady, fingers fumbling with the object and unsure of what to press.

It's of his lips on the man's cheek, and he can see the smile that once rocketed his heart into space, beating a million miles a minute.

The third one is simple. Two men stand at a welcome sign, each having an arm strewn over the other. They smile into the camera.

It's of him and someone he knew. Someone who knew him.

He tucks the second photo in his pocket, puts the others back in the shoebox and puts it back into safekeeping.

Eddie and him are alot alike.

He knows that.

And later tonight, when it's just them, he'll show the photo and let Eddie know just how alike they are.

He'll let Eddie know, and will tell him how proud of him he is. How safe he is.

They are both alike, in so many ways.

He thinks of the camera he has hidden away, and wonders if Eddie would like photographing his own sun, too.

I just rewatched 10 Things I Hate About You and can’t stop thinking about Billy x a reader who is similar to Kat (Idk if you’ve watched it, if not then just ignore this) but could you do any headcanons or anything for this?

10 things i hate about billy hargrove

A/N: i fuckin love this movie and i love miss kat stratford and her hot grungy bf

Pairing: Billy Hargrove x Fem!Reader, 10 Things I Hate About You AU

Warnings: 10 things i hate about you AU, fluff, enemies to lovers, pet names (doll), fem!reader

the story the headcanons

dustin, lucas, and steve are 100% the ones trying to set billy up with you

at first it was dustin and lucas trying to befriend max

then realizing they’d have to distract her scary ass brother

“i heard he smokes 10 packs a day” + “didn’t he just get out of jail???” + “no way, all he did was break some guy’s leg” “dude, he’s gonna murder us” + “i heard he has a chainsaw collection. and it’s stored right next to his hunting knife collection” + “dude… he’s gonna murder us”

THEN realizing steve is acquainted with him

and, finally, realizing steve has other connections

like you, for instance

clever, stubborn, and most of all: distracting

turns out, you and billy already know each other!!!!!

also, turns out, you and billy already hate each other

like fr loathing, foaming at the mouth, seething sexually charged hatred

so when dustin bribes steve into bribing billy into dating you, it doesn’t go so well

(“you think i’m fuckin’ stupid, golden boy? there’s no chance in hell—” “actually, i think you’re a loser and… i have a debt to repay” “so you think $30 is gonna convince me to take some shrew on a date?” “fine, i’ll give you $50” “$100” “$75. and if it goes well *sigh* i’ll give u the $25” “one date?” “yup” “deal”)

so now he’s got 75 bucks in his pocket and a cigarette between his lips and his sights set on you

you’re right outside the music room perched on an amp with a stratocaster in your lap

and you KNOW this asshole stalks up to you and flicks your amp off WHILE YOU’RE PLAYING 🤬

oh and he lays it on thick, he is working for that extra $25

“hey, don’t i know you?” + “shit, you sit in front of me in history” + “sooooo… how ‘bout that mrs. click, huh—ow, jesus” + “play nice” + “so… you know any whitesnake?” + “c’mon, doll, how ‘bout you let me take you to a party friday night—lemme guess, not your scene, right?” + “what..? you want a drag?”

he is definitely being too nice to you

so you tell him to scram and he gets all defensive and oooooH he is fuming

dustin and lucas are watching from behind a tree or bush or something and they just *facepalm*

and max like BEGS steve to pay him more and steve is all like mumblegrumblebrbrbrb i already paid him

but steve gets PISSED at billy like “give me my money back if you’re not even gonna try”

and billy scoffs like “hey man, i’m tryna work a miracle. shit takes time”

then he finds your car in the lot after school, leaned against the driver’s side like

(“nice car. y’know, you can bum a ride with me anytime.” “as… radical as that sounds, i prefer riding in cars that don’t smell like smoke” “hey. the camaro’s a smoke-free zone, doll face. keepin’ it clean just for you” “bite me” “don’t have to tell me twice”)

at this point the three stooges—dustin, lucas, steve—and max decide to do a little digging

and actually????? you and billy are scarily alike

same music taste, hang out at the same places, hate the same people

it’s a wonder nobody thought of this sooner

so steve keeps giving billy advice like “she goes to that one really weird place with the loud music on thursdays so go and… try to look nice, alright?”

“are you sayin’ i don’t look nice, harrington?”

“NO. 😐” steve likes to rethink all of his life choices sometimes

anyways, billy goes, of course, and he spots you immediately

and you look hot

you’re dancing up by the stage, and even the bassist is making eyes at you

if he didn’t think you were a bitch, he probably would’ve bought you a drink by now

he’s also wearing a shit ton of cologne because he got nervous he prioritizes smelling good 🥰

and he looks down at the little piece of paper steve gave him and labeled ‘USE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY’, so he opens it and it says “say ‘can i have your number because i lost mine’ and then make a cool face, the ladies love that one”

jesus christ, harrington, how did you ever get laid

then you’re blowing past him in your miniskirt and boots headed for the bar, so he follows you and leans up next to you

(“you come here often?” “do you?” “you kidding? this is my favorite spot” “yeah, right. now, if you’d excuse me, should be getting back to my—” “aw, come on, doll, let me hang around. i’m good asshole repellent” “is that because like repels like?” “har har”)

despite your resistance, he’s right

this place is a breeding ground for weirdos, and you were actually kind of glad that billy stuck around

that and he didn’t dance with anyone else the whole night, even if he wasn’t exactly dancing with you either

he stayed close, but he knew he’d get chewed out if he touched you

it was nice to have—

a friend??? you’re not sure that’s what this is, but having someone is better than having to look out for yourself all of the time

and at the end of the night, he walked you to your car after realizing you were drinking water the whole night

“yunno, my offer for tomorrow night still stands.”

ah yes the party

and you get in your car like “good to know😶”

he’s about to walk away when you roll down the window and say “pick me up at 8”

ohhhh you better believe he’s smirking to himself the whole way home

billy calls max at lucas’s, telling her to ‘keep herself busy tmrw’ because he’d be gone

max hangs up and bolts to the living room to tell the three stooges (who have been joined by mike and robin):

“BILLY’S TAKING HER TO THE PARTY TOMORROW—YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?????” “moviE NIGHT AT STEVE’S HOUSE!!!!” “NO!” “YAYYYY”

anyways, this date-not-date has him all palms sweaty, knees weak, arms heavy

Nervous with a capital n

he pulls up, walks to the door (a first, he’s the honking type), knocks, and is pretty much floored when you open the door and slam it behind yourself

“oh hi.”

and you half smile like “oh hi”

and he is alarmingly close to you, but you are determined to keep your arms/body about half an inch from his chest while he just

blink blink

stares down at you

“are you… feeling okay?”

he SNAPS out of it

“feeling fine. let’s go” but he definitely had that glazed over, pale but also sweaty and feverish, lifeless flu-gaze just then

true to his word, his car actually smells…. kinda sweet

vanilla somethin-or-other. some kind of baked good. you can’t really place it all too well. pancakes?

DOESN’T MATTER 😟 were u really just thinking about how good his car smells???

embarrassing 😳 for u

all the while he is just about ready to implode while tripping along behind you into the loud ass party

you’re gorgeous

and lost immediately

you roll your eyes when a pretty cheerleader runs her fingers through the curly ends of his hair and coos his name sweetly

you’re out of sight when she plants a kiss on his cheek, and he unceremoniously shoves her away

he gets that treatment all night

people are suddenly obsessed with him?????? god 🙄

by the time he actually finds you again, it’s two hours later, and you’re watching cartoons in the living room in some guy’s lap leaning against him like—like ?? i dont know but GOD billy could die right there

you’re just giggling to yourself, suddenly tame and half-lidded and pressing yourself against some stranger in a dark room with a red solo cup in your hand

“alright, doll, time to wrap it up, it’s gettin’ late” “no it’s not. why do you care?” “cmon, i’m playing chaperone, let’s go” “nuh-uh—”

and then sideburns over here goes “think the lady can speak for herself, buster” and that’s pretty much billy’s last straw

it’s no secret he has a talent for physical altercations with assholes, so he manages you off the guy’s lap before yanking him up by the collar and laying him out on the floor

just wailing on him really, and you’re slurring out some curses to yourself, trying so hard not to watch but billy is undoubtedly stunning

even while yk beating some sicko up

“alright, let it go!” tommy shouts from the back of the crowd that inevitably formed when someone yelled fight “billy, come on”

and he uses his sleeve to wipe at his bloody nose before tilting his head back, grabbing your hand, and jetting out the back door

“the hell wh—just happened?????” …. you are three sheets to the wind i am afraid

“leave it. i—he was… dunno, you’re gonna be mad no matter what i do so”

and you stop on the sidewalk by his car, tugging his hand and impulsively—drunkenly, gently, coyly, with your lip between your teeth—reach for one of his loosely wound curls

“that guy was pretty weird anyway” your eyes go wide, and he chuckles

“let’s get you home”

“it’s like ten??????????”

“so you’ll be asleep by, what? eleven?”

“better race home then.”

you slump into the passenger’s seat with a—for lack of a better word—sauced smile

not all there, googly eyes, half drooling, it’s a sight

and when he glances at you, you’re staring back at him and it makes him nervous

he finally gets you tucked into bed, sitting next to you with a sigh

“you always get shitfaced at parties?”

“you always abandon your date at parties?”

“touché.”

and he just messes with your blankets, making sure you dont throw up on yourself while you’re still awake

“you’re bleeding. riiiiiiiight”—you poke his temple and he hisses—“there!”

“got it, dollface. thanks.”

“noo problemo, billy-o. heheh.”

he snickers and shakes his head, finally standing from the bed and flicking the lights off

“gonna be alright, sweetheart?” you nod “alright. i’m gonna trust you on this one”

and JUST as he turns to leave—

“billy?” 🥺

its sososo soft and he whips around like “YES!!”

and you pucker your lips

and GOD

as bad as he wants to, you’re too plastered for a goodnight kiss

and this night doesn’t exactly warrant one either

admittedly he had been a shithead

maybe next time

he pecks your cheek quickly before heading home

oh and now you’ve got a Grudge

you do not speak to him. you do not look at him. but try as you might, billy hargrove is really hard not to think about

not with the longing glances you catch him giving you or the way he tends to linger around wherever you are or the way he calls your name as you storm out of the gym

and then he FINALLY starts leaving you alone

no glances or shouting or longing

but homeroom, friday morning, one week after the incident (if you can really call it that)

*tap tap* “is this thing on”

over the loud speaker???? that’s definitely billy’s voice, and you have to laugh at the shrill screaming of the woman who takes care of attendance in the background

“good morning, hawkins high, this one goes out to someone i should have apologized to a week ago. hey,”—he doesn’t say your name, but your entire class swivels their heads to look at you—“if you’re listening, i’m sorry, about last week and i’d like to take you to prom if you’ll have me. and if this announcement isn’t convincing enough then…..”

everyone seems to hold their breath in anticipation of his next words

oh but what comes next is so much better than that

“without you…… there’s no change—”

he’s singing. he’s singing over the loud speaker to the entire school.

and your homeroom riots.

there’s howling and cackling and someone shouts “billy’s down bad!”

you cover your face but you cant hide that smile from a mile away

“my nights and days are gray”

he couldn’t have picked a more embarrassing song, and you’re relieved when the principal bursts in to the office

theres muffled shouting while billy tries to croak out the next line and then a manic “sorry, hawkins high, this is your principal. we formally apologize for the—”

“there’s no place for lovers in this world thanks to hard asses like you” billy grumbles from the background

then there’s a fumbling and an expletive and a short and high-pitched tone to signal the end of the announcement

you find billy at lunch, and his buddies hoot and holler when you grab his wrist and tug him away

“what the hell did you do that for”

“you”

“yeah i got that”

“well?”

“well what?”

and he gives you this look like he’s lying in wait for an answer

and you soften and let go of his wrist: “that was stupid”

“but you liked it” he shrugs

“yeah”

“so…… is that a yes?”

“yeah—just…. yeah, alright? but don’t do that again”

“i wont”

“promise?”

“i promise”

“thank you”

and his nose scrunches because before you can walk away, he catches you by the hand and taps his jaw and turns his head and you roll your eyes

“whatever”

but you kiss his cheek anyways

and then like ten minutes later, steve find him and slides him a fifty like “dude, that was solid, i cant believe you pulled it off”

but billy shakes his head and crumples the bill back into steves hand like

“nah, don’t need it”

and steve’s eyes r so wide like…… ogey…. what just happened

and then cut to saturday—prom—and billy is like FREAKING out, he did his hair all nice and spent the money steve’s been giving him on renting a tux and buying a corsage and boutonnière for the two of you

“ay, mallrat, here”—and he hands max a $20–“get lost for a couple hours, alright?”

“why?”

“‘m fucking busy—”

“with what? or… who?”

“get out”

dude max is doing a VICTORY DANCE on her way to lucas’ house because holy shit???? it worked??? and billy’s actually paying her for her freedom???? this is the life🤩

and billy knocks on your door, knowing he’s early as hell and over eager

what’s gotten into him. he doesn’t just do things like this. he doesn’t show up early or feel all tingly and actually pleasant. ever. for anything or anyone.

and god do you look beautiful. like youre glowing.

he opens the door for you and holds his breath when you pin his boutonnière on and holds your hand on the drive to the venue

“may i have this dance” he is putting the moves on

“you do know i’m your date, right?”

“doesn’t hurt to ask”

so you two dance together and then….

the slow dance 🥺

he holds you to his chest and PRAYS you don’t feel his heart beating wildly

it’s just. you look at him like he’s more than his reputation and more than the things he pretends to be, and he’s never received something as tender as that before.

and about an hour into the night, steve grooves over with a devious look on his face, butting in while you two dance together

“so this is what you spent all that money on? man, i would’ve given you more if i’d’ve known”

and billy’s eyes go wide because you’re SCOWLING at him like

“what money?”

“nothing, he’s—he doesn’t know what he’s talking about”

“billy? what money?”

and steve just backs away… 😟

“did he….. did he pay you to take me out?”

“no, that’s not—it’s not what it sounds like”

“yeah right. hope he paid you a shit ton, cause im a handful, right? god, i can’t believe this—i really hope he made this whole deal worth it to you.”

oh man……..

weeks go by

you brush him off and avoid him and sometimes don’t even show up to the classes you have together

but if only you knew

he feels so guilty and on edge and like he could punch steve in the face for being such a dickhead

then comes the final project in your shared english class

“can i present first?”

it’s you.

billy almost perks up until you look him in the eye and you do not look happy

“i hate the way you talk to me…”

(i’m not gonna rewrite miss stratfords iconic poem, but i will rewrite the first + last line for dramatic effect)

“but mostly, i hate the way i don’t hate you. not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all”

and you sit back in your seat, leaving billy feeling more dejected than before

he can’t help but look to his own little sister for help

“what are you, a sap?

“shut up, i need help”

“what’s in it for me?”

“i won’t say shit when you go over to your boyfriends house” he groans

“deal”

and he explains the whole thing and his shit luck and how he needs to get you back

“well how about special interests? maybe make up with concert tickets or a puppy or something—"

“got it. thank’s max” and he ruffles her hair and she whines about it but she’ll be fine

next day, you’re literally just walking to your car when you see a guitar leaned up against the door

and you 🫢

“surprise”

he comes up behind you, glancing over your shoulder when you grab for the teal mockingbird in utter silence

“how did you—wha—why did you—billy….”

“it’s alright, you can say thank you”

“you suck”

“i know”

and you look between him and the guitar with a grin “i love it”

“i know” and he sighs and pushes a hand thru his hair

“i never did it for the money. maybe at the beginning, but steve’s an idiot. i would’ve done it for free. you weren’t some thing to just conquer, and i shouldn’t have treated it like a game. i’m sorry, doll. and i’ll get it if you never forgive me. you can still keep the guitar”

he puts his hands in his pockets and looks away

but you just jab at his chest and grin like

“you can’t just do that, you know? and a guitar won’t make up for everything”

“yeah, i know, i know” he pulls something out of his pocket, mirroring your smile when he puts the small box into your hand

“that’s exactly why i came prepared with this”

“a ring?????? jesus christ”

“not one of those rings. its like… like a promise ring. but more like…. i promise not to be an asshole ever again.”

“i dunno billy, that’s a pretty big commitment for you”

“shut up. i’ll do it for you, dolly” oh and he’s cheeky with it, one hand on your hip and tilting his head to the side with a smirk

“oh and one more thing” he says, watching you slide the ring onto your middle finger

“mhm?” you blink up at him, but he’s gazing a little lower than the tip of your nose

he leans closer and closer, and you lean back against your car, lips parting as he smiles wife and kisses you hard

“been waiting to do that for a while now”

“well…….. what took you so long?”

Another Steddie request, so I read the Wayne shovel talk and it was *chefs kiss* butttt I feel like we never see Eddie get a shovel talk, like I feel like the kids still would cause Steve was there first and had truly taken care of them and there safety. I feel like the kids would give Eddie a shovel talk even if it wasn’t like that intimidating it’s the thought behind it

I'm glad you liked it! 💕 The kids would give him the shovel talk, and they shall give him one!

Warnings: none

When Eddie was told to come over to Dustin's immediately, he thought there was an emergency. He thought maybe one of the kids had gotten hurt, that some awful monster from the Upside Down showed up again. He sped down the road on his motorbike, hoping he didn't hit someone on the way as he didn't even have the mind to check where he was going; he just had to be there as quickly as possible.

When Eddie got there, though, there was no sign of any life-threatening situation. It was just the kids standing in Dustin's room, looking very serious.

"So... What's up?" Eddie asked, looking over each of them. Dustin sighed deeply, before he gestured for Eddie to take a seat very dramatically.

"Guys? Will someone speak? You're freaking me out."

"We need to talk to you," Max said, "about Steve."

"What... did something happen to him? Is he hurt?" Eddie jumped up, panic settling in his stomach like lead. "Where is he?"

"Calm down, Jesus," Mike laughed, "he's fine."

"We're gonna talk about shovels," El explained with a soft smile. Eddie's eyes nearly bulged out of his head.

"What!?"

"Shovel talk, it's called a shovel talk," Will offered helpfully, both to El and Eddie. That made Eddie sigh with relief, until he realized what that meant for him.

"Oh."

"We just wanna know what your intentions are with our Steve," Dustin explained. "We wanna know, if this thing between you is anything serious."

"Steve has been here for us for such a long time," Lucas added with a smile, "he means a lot to us. And we love you too, Eddie, but he's like... a big brother to us."

Of course, that made sense. Eddie knew exactly, how much Steve meant to the kids. He had really stuck his neck out for them on multiple occasions, protecting them from monsters and awful humans alike. It was no wonder the kids wanted to keep him safe for a change.

"Yeah, I got that," Eddie smiled. "I love him, kiddos, I really do."

"And you're not gonna ditch him, are you?" Erica pointed at him, eyebrows furrowed. "Because you know I'm more than happy to beat your ass if you do."

That made Eddie laugh. He was well aware of how powerful Erica could be when pissed off- but, that was true for all the kids.

"People think he's this dumb playboy, but he's so much better than that," Dustin continued. "He has a big heart."

"He's very sensitive. Cries a lot more than you'd think. Ugh, don't tell him I said that," Mike added quickly.

"He has been the protector of us for so long," Will said quietly, "he deserves someone who protects him."

"And who cherishes him," Max interjected, "because he loves some spoiling. He actually loves flowers too, buy him some!"

"And chocolate, everyone loves chocolate!" El grinned. "And he likes going to the movies!"

"And whatever you do, don't mess up his hair," Lucas chuckled, making the rest of them laugh along as well.

Eddie made a mental list of everything the kids said. He had very serious plans with Steve, and he was more than happy to spoil him. The fact his little kiddos got so up in arms to make sure he was treated right warmed Eddie's heart. Steve deserved the best of everything, and Eddie was going to make sure he would get it.

"I'll make sure to treat him right," Eddie promised. "I love Steve a lot, I really do. And I'd rather shoot myself before I broke his heart. Not to mention," he glanced at Erica with an over-exaggerated fearful expression, "I know you would gut me if I did that."

"Hell yeah, we would," Erica grinned, not even half-joking.

"Seriously, just be good to him," Dustin sounded more serious than ever. "He really, really needs it."

Eddie reached out and gently patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll do everything in my power to treat him right. He's going to be the most loved man in Hawkins."

All the kids yelled "he better be!" in unison, making Eddie laugh. Steve was one hell of a lucky guy that he had such a protective little family.

Later that night, when they were laying in bed, Eddie told Steve about his talk with the kids. Steve groaned in embarrassment, burying his face in Eddie's neck.

"Jesus, I never asked them to do that!"

"You didn't have to," Eddie said softly, "they did this on their own. Because they love you, Steve, and they want to make sure you get treated right."

Steve smiled softly. "They are such idiots, but I love all of them, too. This is actually really sweet."

"Mama Steve and his little nuggets," Eddie cooed, making Steve let out an offended noise.

"I'm not...! Okay, I guess I am a mama bear. With very powerful cubs."

"And I'm gonna keep my promise," Eddie said softly. He hooked a finger under Steve's chin and raised it, so he could kiss him on the lips softly. "I'm gonna make you the most loved man in Hawkins, Steve Harrington. And if I'll ever mess up, there's an army of kids waiting to murder me."

"I'll murder you, too. But they'll murder you harder."

"Yeah," Eddie laughed, holding Steve close to his chest, "I'm sure about that."

TOH Actor Au

So, this is an Au idea that I’ve had for a while now where everyone in Toh are just actors playing a part.

The ships are Lumity, Rieda, Goldric, Vinera, Skarlow, Gustholomule, Veesha, and Darius x Alador.

I like to think that Amity, Edric and Emira are actually sibling and that Edric and Emira are actual twins(or maybe Emira is actually a year older than Edric, but they look so similar to each other that they pass for twins). I also like to think that Odalia is their actual mom however Odalia is a way better mom to the twins and Amity than her acting counterpart. Also, Odalia and the twins all have brown hair like Amity, but they had their hairs dyed, along with Amity.

Personally, I imagine that Alador isn’t their biological father and is just a really good family friend along with Darius (who is his actual husband), so the kids see them as a second family to them due to how long they’ve known them. Though the girl who plays younger Amity is actually Alador’s daughter who Odalia does babysit from time to time.

Amity goes to school with Luz, Willow, Skara and Boscha. She is actually friends with all of them along with Hunter, Gus, Matt, Viney and Bria.

Willow and Amity are also next-door neighbors. Btw Younger Willow is actually Willow’s cousin, but some people have mistaken her from being Willow’s sister because of how alike they look. Also, the scene where younger Willow in the mindscape runs into something on accident was not in script but it was so cute that the directors had to put it in the final cut.

Raine and Eda are actually married, and Eda actually has a prosthetic hand that is the one that got dislocated when she was first interduce and is the same hand that she lost during the Day of Unity episode.

Luz and Vee are siblings, twins in fact which is why when Vee was interduce, she looked so much like Luz and that her new hair is a wing. Hunter is their adopted older brother. I like to think that if there is a scene where Camila(who is Luz’s and Vee’s biological mom while she’s Hunter’s adopted mom) is adopting Hunter as a part of their family onset, they would be all crying because that scene would remind their family of when Hunter actually got adopted into the family off screen. I like to think that Luz and Amity started having crushes on each other while they were acting with each other so the week before the Lumity confession scene, Luz had asked Amity to be her girlfriend and Amity had said yes. The younger Luzs in the video aren’t related to Luz at all but you would mistake them for being her sisters if you saw them standing beside her.

Vee, Masha, and the other friends that her character makes while at camp are all friends, even though they all go to different schools. Vee has a massive crush on Masha, but the other hasn’t caught on to Vee’s feelings yet but their other two friends have.

Hunter was homeschooled for his middle school years but started goes to high school during his freshmen year with Edric and Emira. Viney goes to a different school, but she hangs out with them all the time. Emira and Viney tease Hunter and Edric for their very obvious crush on each other.

Viney and Jimbo are childhood friends and go to the same school. They get mistaken for siblings all the time, but they don’t mind as they’ve pretty much accepted each other as siblings since they’ve been friends for so long. Jimbo helped Viney confess her feelings to Emira offset. He also is friends with Skara and is her go-to person when she needs someone to talk to about her crush on Willow.

Matt and Steve are half-siblings and, unlike my headcanon, have a good relationship with their mom and dad(well stepdad in Steve’s case but Steve treats him like he is his biological father). Bria is their stepsister but she’s actually nicer to Matt than she is onset, even if she does have a habit of bossing him around due to being older than him. They’re also next-door neighbors with Gus and his dad who plays as Parry. Also, Matt and Gus go to the same middle school together and both have a crush on each other, but they haven’t said anything to each other yet. Onset Matt seems like a huge gremlin but outside of set, he’s actually really nice, though he is a little snippy at times.

Also, you know how people have been saying that Matt and Hunter would hate each other if they were to meet? Well, I think it would be really funny if while Matt and Hunter’s acting counterparts seem like they would hate each other if they were to ever meet each other but in reality, they are actually friends who are both very snarky towards each other. Same with Willow and Boscha, where their acting counterparts seem to hate each other or dislike each other but outside of acting, they are actually really good friends who roast each other all the time. There would probably be so many deleted scenes where Willow is roasting Boscha after she says something mean.

It takes the makeup team hours to get Boscha ready due to her needing a colored wig, different colored skin tone, and a third eye prostatic on her forehead.

Hunter and Willow actually don’t have crushes on each other. However, Hunter is able to make himself blush by thinking about his actually crush. (Willow knows who his crush is and helps him by teasing him about it too which also makes Hunter’s cheeks go red really quick.)

Philip aka Belos is actually way nicer than his acting counterpart and the kid who plays the Collector is actually his nephew. Philip and Odalia will actually talk to the kids about not doing or saying any of the dumb or dangerous stuff that any of the characters do or say.

If anyone has any questions about this Au or wants to hear more about it, let me know.

Can we get Eddie Munson with a big brother pls?

Where maybe he's absent because of his job or college and he visits the town and helps the Dustin and his friends. The reader is like really chill but still similar to Eddie, but just not a metal head and stuff

And then they all go to meet the babysitter i.e. Steve, Eddie, Nancy Robin, and Eddie is like super ecstatic and practically jumps on the reader because he's so happy to see him again.

Just little brother Eddie really happy to see his bif bro again 🥺

MISSED YOU

Character(s): Eddie Munson

Type of reader: M!Reader

Category: Fluff🥰✨

Warning(s): None

Edited; ❌

You had just gotten back from the airport to your home town to visit your little brother, Eddie Munson.

The only reason you've been absent for such a long time was because of college. You eventually bump into Dustin who just bombarded you with a bunch of questions, since, well, he's never seen you in Hawkins before. "I've never seen you here before? Are you new to Hawkins?" Dustin asked. "Nah, I've lived here for a very long time little dude. Just came to visit my uncle and little brother." You said to him, only for Dustin to give you a suspicious look. "What? I'm tellin' the truth." You chuckled.

"Alright, I believe you. What's your name?" Dustin asked and put his hand up. "Y/n." "Well, it's nice to meet you Y/n. I'm Dustin." Dustin said and held his hand out for you to shake it. You shook his hand with a firm grip before letting it go. For a couple hours Dustin took you to meet some of his friends which you got along with pretty well.

"Oh yeah, Y/n was it?" Mike said and turned his attention onto you. "Hm? What's up?" You asked before taking another sip of a slurpy. "Who's your little brother?" Mike asked making a small smirk form on your lips. "Eddie, he's my little brother." You said before you continued taking sips of your drink.

Dustin, Mike, and Lucas's mouth nearly touched the ground when you told them that. "But-... You aren't a metal head and you don't dress like him-" "Not every Munson is a metal head and dresses like that." You chuckled. "And you two don't look alike at all." Dustin said and you nodded. "We don't have the same moms, but we have the same dad. He has our dads features while I have my moms, simple as that.' You told them making their mouth's form an 'o' shape. "Speaking of Eddie, where is that little troublemaker anyways? The only reason I came back was to spend some time with him." You muttered.

"Oh! I can take you to him. See you later guys." Dustin said as he stood from the table and left with you. When they got there, Steve, Nancy, Robin, and Eddie were there just relaxing and talking amongst themselves.

"I brought someone!" Dustin exclaimed getting their attention. Eddie's eyes widened before he sprang up and ran over to you. "Oh dear." You mumbled before a loud 'oof' sound came from your along with a thud from falling backwards because of Eddie. "Y/n! I missed you so much dude! Where have you been?" Eddie cheered as he hugged you. Slowly you sat up and patted Eddie's back with a laugh.

"College was a hassle so I wasn't able to visit you for awhile, my bad Eddie." You said and gave his forehead a kiss. "Is that his boyfriend or somethin?" Steve being the first to speak, asked. "That's fuckin gross! He's my older brother." Eddie said before getting up and helped you up.

Robin stared at you intensely, along with Steve and Nancy. "I don't see it." She said, confused on how you two were related in any way. "I mean, you look more presentable than Eddie." "Lucas said the same thing, but they actually are related." Dustin said. "We have the same dad but not the same mom." Eddie commented and you nodded agreeing with him.

"Oooh, that makes sense." Nancy smiled. "Anyways, how's college? I was wondering when you'd come and see me." Eddie chuckled and elbowed you in the side making a light laugh come from you.

"How about I tell you all about it, hm?"

Can i get a silly headcanon of being best friends with Steve Austin and The Rock while they are in a fued?

Sure

The first thing you learn whenever Stone Cold and the Rock start feuding is how alike men are to women when fighting.

They both complain about the other whenever you hang out.

At the height of the feud, your time has to be split between them but eventually you get them to sit down and have a drink together

They like making fun of you for the extravagant drinks you like getting.

It's a nice change of pace from when they were fighting and you were stressed about it.

They both look out for you like the big brothers you never had.

Hi, I love your cousin Buckley story especially that you made two story lines with the boys it's so cute 💜 Anyway I started to wonder what if Eddie had a twin sister - she would be living in other state or something and decided to visit her brother. And our King Steve would totally swoon over her. Like stop dead in the tracks the first time he sees her, his brain shutting down not being able to say anything - and Eddie would just take a one look at him and be like "Absolutely not." It would be funny to see the bickering of those two and confused sister in the middle 🤭

Hey there, love! 💕 Thank you for the Cousin Buckley love and support!! I love your idea, so I turned it into a little oneshot for you 🤗 I hope you enjoy it!!!

🤘Sister Munson🤘

“Welcome back home, Y/N/N!” Eddie exclaimed as he drove into Hawkins. You finally had the chance to come back to Hawkins for a week or two to spend time with your twin brother and uncle. After high school, you left to California with your band, and while you all had some success, after band members leaving and too many sleepless nights writing music for the public rather than yourself, you were taking a much-needed hiatus.

“You remember Hawkins High,” Eddie gestured with disgust.

“I do indeed,” you groaned. “Gosh, I’m so glad we’re both graduated and outta that place.”

“You’re telling me! I felt like I had a sentence there,” Eddie said, shivering at the thought of history class.

“So, what’s the plan for today?” you asked, staring out your window.

“Well, we need to drop by the grocery store, then we can stop by and get a video. I have some friends that work there, and you’ll probably like them. Robin, at least.”

“My brother? Has friends? Even a girl friend?” you asked in fake shock, making Eddie push you.

“Yes, weirdo, I’m quite popular now, actually,” he said in a mocking tone. “Just get me the grocery list I left in the back seat.”

You and Eddie gathered all your groceries, earning plenty of stares from onlookers. Eddie was in a Metallica shirt with ripped jeans and his vest, while you were wearing your Black Sabbath shirt, jeans, and big black boots.

“Man, I forgot how much people stared,” you commented, and Eddie chuckled.

“Yup. Quiver in fear! The Banished Twins are back!” he yelled, clearly entertained by the frightened looks.

After you paid for all your groceries, you packed everything up in Eddie’s van and headed for the Family Video. As you walked through the doors, a short-haired girl waved casually.

“Hey, Eddie,” she smiled, then gasped. “Oh my gosh, am I beholding the Y/N Munson?” she squealed.

“Guilty,” you smiled back. “And you must be the Robin?”

“Yes, it’s great to meet you!” she exclaimed. “Man, you two sure do look alike! I mean, you guys could share closets.”

“There’s only one brain between the two of us, and I am its permanent house,” you chuckled. Just then, another worker came out. He looked like a bubblegum valley girl’s dream in his polo and tight jeans, his hair neatly perfected. Forget the valley girl--he was your rocker girl dream.

“Munson,” he nodded, then looked at you. His mouth hung open slightly, gazing at you. You smiled awkwardly and waved at him, but no words came out of his mouth, only a goofy smile.

“Hi, Steve,” you said simply.

“Hello,” he said dreamily. “You, you know my name.”

“‘Course I do,” you replied simply.

“H-how?” Steve asked in shock, still taken aback by your beauty.

“I have my ways. It’s a shame my brother told me to stay away from you, you’re cute,” you smiled as Steve panicked, then looked at Eddie.

“The heck, man?” He was speaking normally now.

“Rules are rules,” Eddie shrugged.

“That may be true,” you smirked, “but Munsons are rebels,” you winked at Steve, who blushed intensely.

Robin giggled as Eddie’s jaw tensed up and his eyes narrowed. He walked towards you two, switching his stare from you to Steve as you two gazed at each other fondly.

“Words cannot describe how much I’m hating this right now,” he said sternly. “Harrington, I’m going to say this once. Y/N is off limits!” He emphasized the last two words.

“Oh, come on, Eddie. I can make decisions for myself,” you said dreamily, still staring at Steve.

“Yeah, Munson,” Steve replied, smirking at you and making you blush.

“Robin! Are you seeing this?” Eddie almost yelled, clearly vexed.

“They’re kinda cute,” Robin shrugged, making Eddie tear at his hair.

“Y/N, please,” he pleaded, but you couldn’t shake your focus from Steve.

“My shift’ll be over in about thirty minutes,” Steve said. “Do you wanna grab an ice cream or something afterward?”

Eddie was screeching in the background as you giggled.

“I’d love that, but I do have a family dinner with my brother and uncle, so I can’t be out too late,” you replied. “You’ll just have to catch me tomorrow too.”

Steve smiled, his ears now bright red as Eddie’s face was red for a whole other reason.

“HARRINGTON!” Eddie screamed, breaking your eye contact with Steve. “The back! Now!”

Steve chuckled as he winked at you, now more confident, following a very tense Eddie to the back.

“Man! What are you thinking?” Eddie whisper-yelled.

“Sorry, dude, she’s really cute,” Steve smiled.

“Of course she is, she’s my twin! But she’s my twin, Harrington! You can’t take her out and waltz her around Hawkins like all the other girls!”

“She’s different!” Steve argued.

“Really?” Eddie replied humorlessly. “How many times have you used that line?”

“It’s not a line,” Steve defended. “I just haven’t ever met someone like her before. She’s cool, she’s interesting, she’s--”

“Someone you went to high school with for four years and probably never gave a second look to?” Eddie scoffed.

“We went to high school together?” Steve said, shocked. “How did I not notice her then?”

“You tell me, bub, but that’s why you’re not going out with her.”

“She already said yes, Munson, and she’s a grown woman.”

“That may be, but she’s still a sensitive soul, not unlike myself,” Eddie boasted. “We have a twin code, a telepathy, and my feeling is that she’s just being nice,” he proposed, squinting his eyes. “I know these things. So stay away!

“Well then, why don’t you ask her? Prove this so-called twin telepathy,” Steve replied smartly.

“I will, and when she tells me the thought of you makes her retch, I will relish it with delight!” he said regally, leaving to the front. As he approached you, he saw you giggling with Robin.

“All good, Eddie?” you asked him cautiously.

“Yeah, just tell me something,” he said quickly. “Be honest. Do you like Harrington?”

You looked at Robin and you both giggled. Seeing Eddie’s humorless face, you tried to stop, but a goofy lovesick smile remained on your face.

“Kinda?” you said as softly as possible.

“I KNEW IT!” Steve yelled from the back, pumping his hands in the air. “Y/N, YOU WON’T REGRET THIS, I SWEAR!”

You and Robin laughed at Steve’s goofiness as Eddie’s face went pale in realization that his metalhead sister had really fallen for King Steve Harrington.

I hope you enjoyed reading! This was a blast to write ❤️✨

Steve Harrington X Fem Munson reader, the reader is Eddie’s younger sister or could be Wayne’s daughter if you’d like that better. Not many people know Eddie has a sister, including Steve but late one night when Steve shows up at Eddie place looking for him he finds her instead. (You can decide why he’s looking for Eddie maybe just to hang out, drop off a movie or to pick up weed). The reader is the one that answers the door long dark hair hanging around her face, big brown eyes like Eddie’s but her aesthetic couldn’t be more different soft pastel pink pajama pants and a white crop top with fuzzy socks. She just gives him a soft smile, yells for Eddie and walks away, of course when Eddie comes up Steve asks him a million questions about the girl that answered the door. He then decides she’s super pretty and he wants to get to know her more and comes over more often just to see her.

Who are you?

Steve Harrington x Munson!reader

Warnings: Reader is not like Eddie, mentions of weed

Summary: The request above

Writing in a journal, music filters through the trailer. Eddie was busy working with his guitar and listening Black Sabbath. You wanted to hit him with a book with how loud he plays his music. Uncle Wayne never understood how the two of you are siblings but are nothing alike. You look up to Eddie because he has been your role model. Not the best but he tries when it comes to you.

You had gotten a shower so your hair was slightly damp and you had changed into your pjs. A pair of pink shorts with hearts on them and a white tank top that was cut into a croptop a while back. You smile while you write about how Eddie had taught you how not to cook. He burnt the Mac & Cheese and said, " And that is how you don't cook." You shook your head at the memory. A knock comes from the front door.

Eddie doesn't hear it so you climb out of bed to get it. You groan when you feel the cool air of the living room area in the trailer. The knocking doesn't stop so you slide on the tiled floor and swing the door open.

"Edd-you're not Eddie," A boy with brown hair and brown puppy dog eyes says.

"I hope not," You smile. Your fuzzy socks do little against the cold air.

"I was looking for Eddie," He rubs the back of his neck, trying to hide the fact that he was checking your exposed skin out.

"Eddie!"

"What?" Eddie yells.

"Eddie!"

"What is it?" Eddie stumbles to the door, with a frying pan in his hands.

"Some guy is here for you, Rapunzel." You giggle and run to your room, your hair flying behind you.

You looked like Eddie but as a girl. Long brown curls, big brown doe eyes and one tattoo. Uncle Wayne said no to the others.

You were a lot more soft spoken than Eddie but you were just as sassy and snarky. Honestly, you loved Eddie so much and you were very happy to have him. Sometimes, you would tease him saying that he was starting to look like you.

---------------

"Dude, who is that?'' Steve asks.

"Who's who?" Eddie asks, putting the pan away.

"Your girlfriend. Man where did you find her? What is she like? Why did you hide her from us?"

"I have to stop you while I hold back my barf."

"Who is she? She is so pretty and cool."

"That's my little sister. Be right back,'' Eddie says before running to the bathroom.

You come back to get a bottle of water. You heard Steve sighing and Eddie throwing up.

"Hey," You softly smile at him.

"Hey, what's your name?" He asks nicely.

"Y/n."

"I'm Steve," He smiles.

"Well, Steve, it's nice to meet you but as you can tell I have some very important writing to do," You smile before turning away.

"Wait!''

"Yes?"

"You are nothing like your brother," Steve says amazed.

"Nope, not at all."

"You look like him though," He smiles.

"Is this going anywhere or what Steve?" You question.

"Um-"

"Guys, do NOT go in there." Eddie says, coming back in the room.

He looks at you and then Steve who was rubbing his neck.

"Harrington, if you hurt her, I get to kill you." Eddie points at him.

"Eddie!" You yell.

"I mean I'm not against it," Steve smiles.

You grab a pillow and hit him with it. You told them both good night and ended up thinking about Steve. He was cute and kind. You fell asleep in your room after Steve left with a smile placed softly on your lips.

For the last couple of weeks, Steve has came over. It started when Eddie was home but then you found yourself letting him in without Eddie knowing. You started hanging out and it lead to Steve staying over, but sleeping on the floor because Eddie hit him with a frying pan when he caught him in your bed.

Steve got to know you a lot and you liked having him around. Soon feelings were developed by both parties and after Eddie gave his approval, Steve asked you on a date. Hopefully, he won't get hit by a frying pan again if he lands in your bed that night.

I entirely believe Jonathan has anger issues like Billy; but he’s a bottler. It’s what happens to a lot of teens who become parentified (unfortunately most poor kids with single parents get parentified/become a stand in for a spouse, and Jonathan definitely has had to take on that role so Will can grow up like he has two parents even if he only has one).

Where Billy lashed out because he got sacked with Max who wasn’t related to him/hadn’t been around long - Jonathan has always had Will. Probably always looked out for him, especially during Lonnie’s abuse. I’m sure when Jonathan lived with Lonnie he did pick fights to steer him away from Joyce or Will. Jonathan has all the indicators of being the protector, of knowing when to shut up and shut down, and when to fight. He knows how to. Likely got taught by his dad during the ‘good times’ when Lonnie was just being ‘dad’ and not ‘asshole’.

From the framing of the show, we can estimate that they got away from Lonnie a year or two before the show began. Seeing as Jonathan shows Will the song ‘should I stay or should I go’ when he was about 11. Jonathan would have been about 14/15 when they got out seeing as the brothers have a 3-4 year difference like Max and Billy. (If my math is wrong I apologise).

Jonathan was lucky. He had a support system, lived with Will his whole life and already knew he had to protect him above all else. When Will goes missing and ‘dies’, both Jonathan and Joyce act like they’ve lost a child. Their son almost. Jonathan blames himself like most parents do for ‘not being home on time’ the night he disappeared, and Joyce goes on about him still being alive, in the walls, and the bottle bursts for Jonathan on the street where people watch him scream at his mother. He cries himself to sleep because of the guilt and mourning, the pressure of Wills funeral on him because his mother is going ‘crazy’.

Jonathan only allows himself to lash out when people target his family (not even really Nancy, as much as they tried to push that in the police station scene 🙄). Steve calls him a queer, a perv, a freak, breaks his camera, shoved him around, and he’s obvious angry but he doesn’t lash out. He chooses to walk away and you can see him slowly drawing in and up, containing himself, and it isn’t until Steve digs at his dead brother that he punches him.

If he just wanted to win that fight, he probably could have instead of practically wrestling with Steve. He’s not happy about the fight, he looks downright miserable, like he wants to cry, and he’s not really hitting Steve because he insulted him. He’s hitting Steve because he insulted his family. The brother that’s possibly dead, that is still missing, his mother who’s going insane and leaving everything to him, even prodding at how he was a ‘screw up’ like Lonnie.

In this moment, Jonathan is very much like Billy. Billy taunts and picks fights, but he doesn’t like them. He’s easing the lid on his own bottle, his own anger, and it eases the anger sure but then you just feel shitty, your hands hurt, your face hurts, you get backed into corners and panic, you lash out because you’re angry and you’re scared if you don’t stop fighting, your opponent will win. Your abuser will win. You’ll fear being seen as weak.

Jonathan’s lucky. He did get out. Steve provoked their fight, and he got his brother back, so it was okay. He got to focus on being a protector instead of on surviving. Billy had to focus on surviving and protecting the kid that’s been thrown into his lap.

Jonathan and Billy are very alike. Jonathan was just forced to grow a longer fuse and already had a heavy attachment to Will. Billy’s fuse is as short as the chain around his neck that Neil holds.

Maybe once, Jonathan was like Billy in some ways outside of the house. The ‘freak’ loner kid who punched other kids for calling him a pussy because his father already did at home. Because it made him manly even if he cried alone right after. Would explain why he had no friends, why people avoided him, why he didn’t seem to want friends until someone (Nancy) needed him to help them. Because he was a quiet kid with a fuse ready to blow at any second if someone said the wrong thing about him or Will. Maybe he got labelled a queer too because he brawled with the older kids who made fun of Will for being one too.

Who knows? We don’t know a lot about Jonathan pre-series outside of implications. The show relies on a lot of those when it comes to their abuse victims…

I wonder if Caleb was really there (part 2)

Another point that makes me wonder if the ghosts were hallucinations or not is the guards all wearing their masks

On one hand, Belos did mention that Hunter looked the most like Caleb, which could be a lie, I don’t trust a damn thing he says till proven otherwise. But if he is hallucinating, and was telling the truth, then that could be why they are all wearing the masks, because he doesn’t remember what they looked like

BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, people pointed out that Belos probably had them wear masks so people wouldn’t get suspicious on why the guards looked so much alike. And the mask always looked like it was more used to protect identity. People use masks to hide,they kinda touched on that symbolism with Steve even though it’s more of not being part of a collective type thing. and I mentioned that I had a feeling the ghosts guards were hiding around the pillars. I think that’s what the ones out in the open, and the ones closer to Caleb are doing too, they are trying to stand with him but still stay behind him. They are masking themselves, the best defense they have at the moment is to be unreadable, Belos doesn’t get to see they are scared. And it has the desired effect, I think, they don’t have a threatening vibe, but it’s still an ominous vibe that keeps you guessing

And I have another point for this scene here

This could 100% be Belos’s lies he told himself coming unglued and the projection of his brother is a nod to the Shakespeare play Caesar where the ghosts of the betrayed just stood there silently, and the audience also never could decide if they were really ghosts or a guilty conscience.

BUT ON THE OTHER HAND! Caleb may be choosing not to speak because words and arguments are belos’s greatest weapon. He makes the others feel like they lose an argument even when they win. Belos even tries to put words in Caleb’s mouth “Don’t mock me!! I tried to save your soul!! It’s your fault any of this happened!!!” But Caleb gives him nothing, he just stares him down. He knows Belows doesn’t want a discussion, he wants a fight, he wants to feel like he is gaining an ounce of control back, and Caleb isn’t giving it to him. Hunter is good at strategy and figuring people out, I think he got that from Caleb.

Caleb doesn’t need to say anything anyway, the evidence is speaking for itself, Belos is grasping at straws, his time is running out, and has nothing to show for it, and all of that was able to get across just by giving Belos nothing, funny isn’t it?

Vecna’s Curse

Part 1: Ballistic

Part 5: Home Sweet Home

Masterlist

Cheerleader!Harrington!Reader

You and the gang go looking for Eddie after what happened with Chrissy.

No warnings really except descriptive… descriptions of death. Spoilers for Stranger Things 4 and by spoilers I mean it’s basically just the episode all over again sorrrryyyy but if you’re reading this then you’ve likely seen it so like not a spoiler I guess. How Vecna kills people. Eddie calls you Princess, Sweetheart, and Harrington. Protective Big Brother Steve.

The second you saw the trailer on the news you knew who’s it was. Eddie’s. You’d just been there a day ago, Eddie had convinced you to not go and to instead come back to his place, and after he begged you the whole way, you caved, admitting you could probably miss one day.

You knew Chrissy was going for a deal and your heart shattered at the loss of your friend, and your stomach lurched with the idea of thinking Eddie could hurt anyone. As Steve turned the tv up louder your ears started to ring, and then Dustin burst in, Max hot on his heels, demanding to know how many phones Family Video had, repeating the question when Steve tried to ask if they’d seen the news.

“Uh. Two, why?” Steve glanced at Robin and then back to Dustin.

“Uh, Technically three if you count Keith’s in the back?” Robin pointed her thumb towards the back room as Dustin looked at Max.

“Yeah, three works.” She nodded. Dustin pulled his backpack off and slid it over the counter.

“Woah! What are you-“ “my pile!” Steve and Robin shouted. Dustin hopped over the counter, kicking over some tapes in the process. “No, no, no! My tapes!” Steve shouted, throwing his hands up in distress as Robin stared at the pile of mess. “Dude. What are you doing, man?” He asked, going over to Dustin as he sat down at the computer.

“Setting up base of operations here.” Dustin replied. “Base of operations?” Robin asked, turning her head briefly before going back to cleaning the mess. “Get off of that.” Steve demanded, hands still up as you walked over with Max to see what Dustin was doing. “No. I need it.” “Need it for what?” “I need to look up Eddie’s phone numbers.”

You immediately straightened up at the mention of Eddie and looked at the screen and then at Dustin, and then at Steve. He was definitely going to recognize your house phone number. “Oh, Eddie. Your new best friend Eddie you think is cooler than me because he plays your nerdy game?” Dustin rolled his eyes and head around, tossing his hands up a little, exasperated. “Eddie. Yes.” His face turned to confusion and he turned to Steve. “I never said that.”

“You think Eddie’s guilty, don’t you?” You and Dustin asked Steve when he mentioned the cops, your jaw clenched a little.

“Woah, woah, woah. I believe in innocent until proven guilty, all that constitutional shit.” You and Max looked at him weird and then glanced at eachother. “I just, you know, I just don’t think we can rule it out.” He explained calmly, rubbing his hands together. “That’s precisely what we’re trying to do here, Steve.” Max squinted, you and Dustin motioning to her matter-of-factly.

“And maybe we’d have a little bit more luck if you spent less time trying to find a girlfriend-“ Dustin spoke. “And more trying to find Eddie.” You finished, Dustin laughing gratefully and pointing towards you before looking at Steve.

“Oh, well, somebody has to attend to the customers.” Steve motioned to the door. “Especially if they’re babes, right?” Robin asked, winking at him. “Hey, not fair. Okay?” Steve pointed at her. “I attend to all the customers equally, babes and non-babes alike.” He sweepers his hand around as a punk with spiked hair, a leather glove, and chains walked in. “We’ve got a very big selection in here, okay? It can be super overwhelming for these people.”

“Yeah, it can be.” Robin grinned and spun around, sitting at the computer.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

You were outside of Reefer Rick’s house, Dustin and Steve at the front door while you, Robin, and Max looked in the windows.

Dustin rang the doorbell once, twice, and then seven times rapidly. “Okay. Well, that’s settled. I guess he’s not here.” Steve said, bored as Dustin started knocking on the door. “Eddie! It’s Dustin!” “Great.” “Look, we just wanna talk, okay? No cops, I swear. We just wanna help.”

Dustin started banging again. “Eddie!” You and Robin shushed him as he repeatedly rang the doorbell. “Rick! Reefer Rick!” “Don’t scream that.” Steve sighed.

You and Robin continued to look in the windows as Max stepped off the porch. “Hey, guys!” She called out, the four of you walking over to her to see what she was looking at.

Once you were inside Reefer Rick’s boat shack Steve grabbed a nearby oar and started poking the tarp in the boat as you, Robin, and Max looked around. “What are you doing?” Dustin asked harshly as you all spun around, the sound of the oar hitting the tarp loud against the silence. “What are you doing?” He repeated. “He might be in here.” Steve responded, continuing to poke the tarp. “So take the tarp off.” You and Dustin whispered harshly. “If you’re so brave, you take the tarp off.” He went back to viciously poking it as you went back to looking around the shack.

“Hey, look over here.” Max shined her light on some candy bar wrappers, drink cans and beer bottles. “Maybe he heard us? Got spooked and ran?” Robin suggested softly. “Don’t worry. Steve will get him with his oar.” Dustin said sarcastically. “I know you think you’re being funny, Henderson, but considering everyone in this room has nearly died a hundred times, personally, I don’t find it funny in the slight-“ Steve was interrupted by someone shooting up out of the tarp and slamming him into the wall, a beer bottle to his throat as everyone screamed. “Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!” Steve shouted.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, Eddie! Eddie! Stop!” You and Dustin shouted, you nearly falling as you rushed over, standing behind Dustin. “Eddie! Eddie!” Dustin shouted as Eddie’s head snapped over, recognition falling on his face slowly, his grip still tight on the bottle. “It’s me. It’s Dustin.” You glanced at Dustin and then Eddie, offering a weak smile when his eyes turned to you, nodding gently as you held your hands up.

“Harrington…” Eddie let out a breath, but didn’t move from his spot as everyone looked at you, confused. “Eds… it’s okay… we’re just here to talk, okay?“ you said softly, slowly stepping closer and glancing at Steve, who had a mixture of confusion and maybe a little anger on his face. “Steve.. why don’t you drop the oar?”

Steve took a deep breath and let the oar fall, closing his eyes and groaning when Eddie pressed the bottle closer. “He’s cool. He’s cool. We’re all cool.” You said quickly.

Eddie clenched his jaw tightly. “What are you doing here?” He asked quietly. “We’re looking for you.” You responded. “We’re here to help.” Robin says quickly.

“Eddie… they’re all my friends… you… apparently know Y/N… you know Robin, from band.” Robin imitated a trumpet sound. “This is my friend Max, the one who never wants to play D&D.” Max waved a little awkwardly. “Eddie…” you said softly, slowly moving closer. “We’re on your side.” Dustin emphasized his words. “I swear on my mother! Right, guys?”

“Yes. Yes. We swear.” Max replied. “Yeah. O-o-on Dustin’s mother.” Robin nodded. “Yeah, Dustin’s… Dustin’s mother.” Steve nodded a little and bit his lip. Eddie stared down at Steve, hand trembling before he let go of him and slid back against the wall.

You went over and knelt in front of him. “Eds… what happened?” You whispered softly, setting your hand on his curled up knee. Eddie shook his head, nursing his broken bottle. “You won’t believe me.” He whispered.

“Try us.” Max replied, stepping forward, Eddie looking at her and then you, a little confused.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

“Her body just, like, lifted up into the air and, uh… and she just, like, hung there. In the air. And her bones… uh, she…” Eddie closed his eyes and grunted as he bobbed his head a bit to collect his words. You reached over and sat your hand on his back, not noticing the weirded out looks Steve was giving the two of you when Eddie shifted closer to you. “Her bones started to snap. Her eyes, man. It… it was like there was something, like, inside her head, pulling.” His voice cracked a little as his emotions ran a little wild and you felt your stomach churn at the description of your friend dying. “I… I didn’t know what to do, so I… I ran away.” His face contorted a bit. “I left her there.” He looked at all you and scoffed, shaking his head. “You all think I’m crazy, right?”

“No. We don’t think you’re crazy.” You and Dustin replied. “Look, don’t bullshit me, man! I know how this sounds!” You cringed at the sound of Eddie’s voice and immediately pulled him into you, pushing your face into his neck.

“We’re not bullshitting you.” Max replied, unfazed, while the others took a minute. “We believe you.” Robin said softly as Eddie let out a breath, shaking his head as his body relaxed.

“Look, what I’m about to tell you might be a little… difficult to take.” Dustin said, you leaned back a little and gently grabbed Eddie’s hand as he nodded. “Okay.”

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

“You know I.. I tried to wake her, man. She wouldn’t move it was… it was like she was in a trance or something.”

“Or under a spell.” Dustin straightened up slowly. “A curse.” Eddie looked up at him. “Vecna’s curse.”

“Who’s Vecna?” You and Steve asked curiously. “An undead creature of great power.” Dustin responded. “A spell caster.” Eddie added, causing you to look at him. “A dark wizard.” Your eyes snapped over to Dustin. “You guys like finishing each others sentences.” You hadn’t meant to say it out loud, luckily it got you a couple laughs.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

So that’s what’s going on with you. You’re under Vecna’s curse. Which means you’re probably going to die. Great. That’s just fucking great. The second Mac started to explain the symptoms you knew, and you knew it was only a matter of hours now when you would start to hallucinate. Part of you felt like Eddie knew. Ever since the symptoms were explained he looked at you different, he got clingier, like he was scared you would evaporate or something.

You couldn’t bring yourself to tell them, though. All you could do was sit there, Eddie’s vest over your shoulders as you replayed his words from earlier in your head. “Her bones started snapping… it looked there was something inside her head, pulling.” You’d stayed behind in the shack with Eddie, much to Steve’s dismay.

Steve had pulled you to the side while Dustin, Max and Robin were calling Eddie more. “Uh so you’re definitely not staying here.” He shook his head.

“Steve.” You sighed heavily and rubbed your face. “I’m a big girl. I’ve fought the Demogorgon, Mind Flayer, and the Demodogs.” Steve scoffed. “Yeah that’s not what I mean. Eddie Munson?” He raised his brows at you.

“Oh come on.” You groaned. “You think we’re gonna sex while he’s being hunted?” You scoffed. “And yes. Eddie Munson. He happens to be very nice.”

“Oh yeah. I’m sure he was real nice with his hand down your pants.” Steve rolled his eyes, causing you to punch his arm. “I expect you to apologize for that.”

After a second he nodded. “Alright.. alright that was shitty. I’m sorry…” he glanced at the shack and shifted. “Fine. Stay just… Y’know… pay attention.” He cleared his throat.

Your imagination couldn’t have prepared you for that. You don’t think anything could have. You’d watched Patrick get lifted into the air, and then watched as every single bone in his body started to snap. You’d watched in horror as his fingers broke, then his wrists, then his arms at the elbow, then his shoulders, despite Eddie’s desperate attempts to make you not look, you couldn’t look away as his ankles snapped, then his knees, then his jaw, and finally his neck before he fell into the water with a loud splash. You didn’t even realize you were screaming until Eddie lugged you onto shore and grabbed your face to calm you down. You were thoroughly you would’ve hyperventilated and died in the lake had it not been for Eddie.

Now, here you were, curled up under skull rock, cold and wet with Eddie’s jacket and vest cocooned around you to warm you up while he tried to get ahold of Dustin and the others. The walkie, unfortunately, was completely useless since it had gone into the lake with the two of you, so Eddie’d had to steal a walkie from a construction crew. He had an arm around you, trying to keep you warm as a gust of wind blew by, pulling a shudder from you. “You okay, sweetheart?” He whispered, setting the walkie down that he’d finally got in contact with Dustin. You nodded a little and glanced at him. You could hear the double meaning, he was asking if you were okay curse-wise. Not health-wise. “Yeah. I’m fine.” You smiled softly at him and gently squeezed his hand before leaning up and pressing your lips together.

Eddie brought a hand up to cup your cheek, the kiss lingering for a moment before you spoke against his lips. “Thank you..” you whispered, looking up at him as he pulled back to look at you. “For what?” He asked curiously.

You shrugged a little. “Everything... last few days have been.. great.. cause of you so.. I just wanna say thank you.” Eddie frowned a little and tilted his head a bit. “What’s this about?” He mumbled softly, but before you could say anything Dustin was rushing over with a panicking Steve, who immediately searched you for injuries, even as you insisted you were fine.

<><><><><><><>><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

“So... you guys have... done this kind of thing before?” Eddie asked, looking at everyone before his eyes settled on you. “You have dont this kind of thing before?” He asked, when you nodded his lips turned up into a smirk. “What does Willis think about that?” He teased, nudging you lightly.

Steve jerked his head over to the two of you as your face turned bright red. “Willis? He knows about Willis? How does he know about Willis?” He leaned off the tree and your eyes widened a little. Luckily, Eddie saved you. “Hey, Henderson isn't, like, cursed.. is he?” He pointed over to Dustin, who was pacing and mumbling to himself.

Steve looked over. “Cursed? No, No. He's not. He's fine. Mental? Absolutely.” He nodded before squinting and looking back at you and Eddie. “How do you know Willis?” He repeated.

“Steve... come on.” You mumbled, looking at him with squinty eyes. His face turned red as he started to put things together. “The other-”

“Boom!” Dustin suddenly shouted, turning around and pointing to Steve. “Bada.” He took a step. “Bada.” Another. “Boom.” He lowered his hand. Steve scrunched his face and shook his head, confused. “I was right.” Dustin explained. “Skull rock was North.” He pointed to the rock above you and Eddie.

Nancy sighed, exasperated as Steve leaned forward. “Seriously? You’re serious?” “Mhm.” Dustin replied, nodding. “This is Skull Rock. Okay?” Steve shouted, gesturing wildly to the rock. “Mhm.” Dustin grinned, nodding. You should think about slipping anger management pamphlets under Steve’s door when this is over.

“You’re totally, absolutely, 100% wrong. Right now.” Steve pointed to the ground to emphasize his point. “Yes.” Dustin leaned forward. “And no.” He held his hands out. Steve shook his head. “Oh my god.” He rubbed his face, turning away from Dustin. “This worked correctly when we left the Wheelers’.” Dustin held up his compass. “Correct when we got in the car on Curly.” He nodded along with his own words, looking at everyone. “But it started to slip the further east we went. Now it’s way off.” He spread his arm out for emphasis.

“When I was leading us here, I wasn’t wrong.” He pointed to himself. “The compass was.” He held the compass up. Steve shook his head and blinked. “So you’re using faulty equipment. You’re still wrong.” he held his hands out towards Dustin. “Except it isn’t faulty.” He held his hand up and pointed to Steve. “Lucas, Y/N, remember what can affect a compass?” He pointed to the two of you. “An electromagentic field.” The two of you responded, Lucas pointing to Dustin. “Yep.” Dustin held his hands out by his sides.

“Sorry, I must’ve skipped that class.” Robin raised her rows a bit. “ In the presence of a stronger electromagnetic field, the needle will direct towards that power.” Steve shook his head and held his hand up, exasperated. (Y’all Steve needs a nap and for someone else to watch his children). “So, either there’s some big magnet around here, or...”

“... there’s a gate.” You concluded, Dustin pointed towards you with a happy grin. Nancy looked at Dustin, confused. “But we’re nowhere near the lab.” She shook her head a little. “Yeah.. but what if there’s another one?” You stood up slowly, Eddie watching you with an awestruck look on his face. “One we don’t know about.” Dustin agreed. “It’d have to be smaller.” You furrowed your brows, eyes moving as you thought. “Way less powerful.” Dustin finished the thought.

“Snack-size gate.” Robin said. “How? Why?” Steve shook his head. “No idea. All I know is that something is causing this disturbance,” Dustin pointed to his compass. “And the last time we’ve seen anything like it, it was a gate.” You nodded, looking at Steve, and then down to Eddie, who looked confused, but seemed to be piecing it together rather quickly. “And i hope it is, because then we’d have a way to Vecna.” Almost on que you heard a loud chime, you jumping and looked behind you, but didn’t see anything as the ticcing continued, and then you saw it. The grandfather clock embedded in the rock above Eddie. You stared at the clock, tears starting to well in your eyes, and then Eddie was in front of you, now that you couldn’t see the clock anymore you took a deep breath, everyone else was almost completely away from the clearing, looking back at you, worried as you pulled Eddie into a bone crushing hug, gasping softly as you looked at the rock, letting out a broken sound when you saw the clock wasn’t there anymore.

“Hey.” Eddie widened his eyes a bit. “Breathe, there ya go..” he whispered, hugging you tightly before pulling back. “What is going on with you, Princess?” He frowned deeply. You swallowed thickly and glanced back towards your friends and brother, bottom lip quivering.

You were all sitting down now, you chewing on the bed of your nail as you explained what was going on. “I’ve been having them for a.. a few days.” You shifted. “The nightmares... nosebleeds...” “The headaches. How many days is a few days.” Steve straighened up a little, you nodding hesitantly, ignoring his question. “I didn’t know until earlier... that that’s what it was...” You took a deep breath and rubbed your arm.

“Hey... we’re gonna fix this.” Dustin rushed over and knelt down in front of you, grabbing your hands tightly. “We’re gonna get this Vecna guy-” “In less than two days, Dusty?” You looked up from your hands. “Come on, kid.. be realistic.” you weren’t condescending, just.. fond of his confidence and optimism.

“Hey. Don’t talk like that.” Steve scoffed. “We’re gonna get this Vecna douche. And you’re gonna be okay.” He said sternly. Eddie nodded quickly beside you. “No way he’s gettin’ my girl.” He wrapped his arm around your shoulders and pulled you close, Lucas and Nancy widening their eyes in surprise, Steve frowning again, while Dustin, Robin, and Max smiled a bit. You couldn’t help but laugh softly at him.

With this knowledge, everyone set off to find the new gate with a newfound determination: Free you from Vecna’s curse.
