#Steve isn’t happy

Steve: what happened to all the thanksgiving food?

Eddie: *macaroni stuffed in his mouth*

Eddie: this was *hiccup* thanksgiving food?

[steddiealltheway]

Something that is canon in my mind that I forget to tell people:

The reason why Steve can’t get bitches in his Scoops Ahoy era is because there’s a rumor going around that he’s gay (probably because someone caught him hooking up with Eddie)

#how else can you explain it??? #he is so so babygirl #all the girls would be literally at his feet begging for this man to date them #unless… they think he’s trying to make them his beard #also with the lipgloss and mascara… #it just adds fuel to the fire #and think. if Steve and Eddie were hooking up before scoops in a fwb gone wrong or secret relationship gone wrong type of situation… #aka Steve catches feelings and runs because of internalized homophobia and a fear of getting caught #there could be a season three rewrite of Steve catching feelings for Robin because she reminds him of Eddie #and after Robin comes out to him #Steve’s like “oh. maybe there are more people like me in Hawkins than I imagined. if she deserves a happy ending with a girl #why can’t I get a happy ending with a guy? #and steve slowly is able to come to terms with his sexuality #meanwhile eddie seeks out Dustin and the kids who steve has ranted and raved about #but he plays it off as him happening to find lost sheep #lots of thoughts… lots of thoughts… #all thoughts to explain why Steve isn’t able to get bitches #steve harrington #steddie #stranger things #scoops ahoy steve #stranger things headcanons

Thinking about steddie future where they're both just average guys. No rockstars, no basketball players just two Normal men living a normal life because honestly? they deserve it. They deserve soft domesticity and happiness.

They both have jobs they like but don't love and they're happy with that. Eddie maybe becomes an electrician, working for someone else's company. His coworkers are chill, he gets to get out and work with his hands and that's more than he could have asked for. Steve is a physical therapist, or a manager in some business. He likes his team and the steady hours. He's not working for his dad which is a plus.

They buy a house together, that's not a mansion but it's not a trailer either. Steve does a lot of the dishes because Eddie hates it, hates the feeling of old food on the plates and cutlery. So Eddie will kiss Steve on the cheek and does the laundry because Steve fucking hates laundry. And sitting on the floor watching TV while he folds clothes is honestly sort of relaxing?? Love is doing the chores your partner hates.

Steve and Robin go out for brunch at least once a month, where they catch up and gossip for hours and hours and Steve comes home lighter with updates on Robin and Vickie. Eddie will have nightly phone calls with Wayne, where they talk and laugh and Eddie will eventually hand the phone over to Steve so he and Wayne can talk sports together. When he's in town Dustin will come over and stay in their spare room and they laugh and joke so much it's just like old times. They go over to Jeff's house for dinner on a semi regular basis, and it's nice having normal friends.

They adopt a very annoying cat who will climb all over them in bed and meow in their faces when they don't wake up to feed it breakfast in time. Steve will go for jogs on a Saturday morning, coming home to Eddie reading in bed. Some old western book Wayne recommended to him. There's a steaming cup of coffee waiting on their bedside tables that Eddie's prepared.

They take time off of work and go on a week long vacation because they can do that now. They do dorky touristy things and Eddie buys a mug to send to Wayne. Steve takes a lot of dorky photos of the two of them.

Idk they deserve to be normal and alive and happy with no upside down anymore <3

Oh I love this! I had actually been thinking about tradesman Eddie for a little bit I am so, so glad you’ve come up with this!

I can so completely see him learning a trade and just getting employed and put through his time by a small local employer! He has to go through his exams and that part of it worries him when he first gets the job but his team end up being really supportive and Steve stays up late with him, practicing circuits and wiring and quizzing him on currents and volts. Eddie returning the favour, letting Steve mark up his muscles and be a living anatomy dummy. Sure it gets a little sexy from time to time but more often than not it’s just them testing each other as Steve identifies bones and Eddie talks about parallel circuits.

The monthly brunches mentally and physically revive Steve after working extended hours with patients that he really does want the best for but a jobs a job and it can get pretty tiring. They joke that they rebalance each others chakras but they really do feel realigned after their meet ups. Eddie can see it to, sometimes he’ll come pick them up when it’s been a boozy brunch and delights in seeing them happy and light, clambering over each other to tell Eddie something about one of the waiters or an especially good dish they ordered. When he drops Robin home Steve sits in the front and looks at peace and Eddie feels the same way.

Their weekends are for them, sometimes that means staying home and cleaning the whole place between ordering food in and sometimes that means going on a day trip and taking Wayne around all the antique spots around the county and seeing what horrors they can uncover. Top spot currently sits with Wayne’s find of a doll whose limbs had been replaced with horse legs and had the head of a fish. Of course they bought it.

Every time they go on a holiday they make sure to send postcards to everyone, including themselves, seeing if they’ll get home before the postcard does. Steve keeps them in a photo album, each with a Polaroid of them next to it. Sometimes taken by a stranger, sometimes just a close up of their faces squashed together. It’s Eddie’s favourite thing to go through on their anniversary, or any day really, just loves being reminded that this is the life they get to have.

It’s mundane, dare say even normal, but they love it. Steve comes home every night, happy to put his scrubs in the washing machine next to Eddie’s uniform, happy to be where he feels loved.

#momo :((((( you never put a foot wrong and your words are Art #I honestly feel very lucky to receive them #cat dads is so painfully true. they buy it the best food they can afford and toys and cat nip and pander to its every need #and it just loves them so aggressively for it. they have one of those baby slings for it #I love them doing dorky tourist stuff!!! I want them messing with perspective to create funny photos like holding buildings #Steve being on the phone with Wayne for the entirety of the game so they can discuss it real time. sometimes it’s just silence and Eddie #will go to speak and both Steve and Wayne will stress shush him so he goes off to meet Jeff and the guys #sometimes the guys come over and they have a night of whatever movie has come out on tape #it’s domestic and normal and they get old and happier #they go to whatever gig eddie gets tickets for. they go on their first trip abroad. they host Christmas. #(only the once though. neither of them have recovered from that experience) #idk you are just so right they can just be normal guys in love and being happy #sorry this isn’t the best reply I’m very rusty. I just love your ideas #thank you so much I really mean it #momo #stranger things #eddie munson #steddie #steve harrington #ask

something about argyle getting the wrong end of the stick when he sees billy and steve (who are totally just friends) doing their thing and deciding to pull a very confused steve to the side for a shovel talk like-

argyle: [putting a hand on steve’s shoulder] i’m a chill guy, man

steve: .. uh yeah? yeah you are

argyle: but that’s my boy

steve: [looking around, confused] hargr- um, billy?

argyle: uh huh, and i don’t wanna see him hurting

steve: i’m not gonna.. we had a fight like one tim-

argyle: he’s a sensitive dude, y’know [tapping steve’s chest] in here

steve: what is happening right n-

argyle: [walking away] treat him well is all i’m saying, man, ‘cause i’ll be watching

steve: .. ok?

[a few minutes later]

billy: hey harrington, you good?

steve: i, uh- i think so..?

#billy hargrove #argyle #harringrove #argyle isn’t afraid to put a guy in the pizza oven for billy #so jot that down #argyle looking down at steve and threatening him with a bad time if he doesn’t treat billy well is where it’s at #also asking steve when he’s gonna apologise to jonathan #humble that man #him treating steve like he did mike actually that’s all i want #also ​heather finding someone to bitch to about steve #everyone’s happy #except steve maybe at first but he’ll live #ickyspeaks

Birthday Surprise

Happy birthday to the GREATEST of all humans!!! Even though you don’t consume ST things the way I do, I hope you accept this small token (as well as the nails… and the tea… and the text… 😂). Love you babe! ❤️ @doubledeckersofa

“Stevie,” Eddie crooned, soft and low.

Steve hummed as he was dragged away from sleep, frowning in the morning light. He opened an eye to peer at Eddie. “‘S early. Hav’a nightmare?”

Eddie chuckled, a rush of breath over Steve’s cheek. “No, sweet thing. Wanted to make sure I said it first.”

Steve frowned again, sluggishly moving closer to Eddie, laying his head on Eddie’s shoulder. “Said what?”

Eddie pressed a kiss to Steve’s temple. “Happy birthday,” he whispered, and suddenly Steve was wide awake.

“Oh,” he murmured, smiling when Eddie chuckled. “I forgot.”

“You forgot your birthday?”

“Well if someone hadn’t woken me up at the asscrack of dawn…”

Eddie snorted. “Check again, babe, it’s nine.”

Steve frowned at him. “You’re lying.”

“Nope.” He popped the p. “‘Course, that happens when you don’t go to bed ‘til the next morning.”

“Yeah, what was it, like three?”

“Just about.”

“Which means you woke me up after six hours. Jesus fuck, Eds, how are you awake right now? And functioning?”

“Says the one who just did math.” He gently poked Steve’s cheek. “You’re… you’re not mad, right? That I woke you?”

Steve playfully snapped his teeth at the finger floating by his face, then turned to press a kiss to Eddie’s collarbone. “No. But I am going back to sleep.”

Just then, someone banged on the trailer door. “Steve? Steve! I know you’re there, man, open up!”

Dustin.

Steve groaned and pushed his face into the pillow. “How much would we have to pay Wayne to threaten Dustin into going away?”

Eddie snorted. “I like how you think that would work at all. You know Wayne adores Dustin.”

“Yeah, yeah. Get the door before he wakes up? And start the coffee? I’m gonna get dressed.”

“On it,” Eddie promised, pressing one last kiss to Steve’s lips.

Just then, the trailer door opened, and Steve and Eddie shared a look. “Too late. He’s up.”

“How upset’s he gonna be?”

Eddie chuckled. “I think you should come out here with me. Wayne’s got a way about him. You might even see an apology outta Dustin.”

Steve rolled his eyes as he sat up and pulled on the first shirt he could find. “Now that would be a birthday miracle.”

They stumbled out into the living room together, Steve snickering as Eddie almost tripped over his own feet. “Shuddup,” he muttered, shoving lightly at Steve’s shoulder before pulling him close to smack another kiss to his temple.

“Sap,” Steve muttered, and Eddie grinned.

Wayne cleared his throat, and they stopped short. “Your boy’s got somethin’ to say.”

Eddie elbowed Steve. “Toldja,” he muttered.

Wayne gave Eddie a look, and he looked down. “Sorry.”

“I, uh, I’m sorry,” Dustin said. “For interrupting your rest and banging on the door and, uh, making a general nuisance of myself.” He glanced up at Wayne, who nodded.

Steve sighed. “It’s alright. I know you get excited. If you could just remember there are other people in the world, you’d be set.”

“Yeah. Um, in my defense I did come over to help make birthday pancakes.” He held up a little bottle. “I even brought the sprinkles!”

Steve snorted and jerked his head to the side, motioning Dustin close enough he could sling an arm over his shoulders and press his knuckles to the top of his head. “Thanks, bud. Lemme get a coffee- oh, Jesus, marry me,” he interrupted himself, reaching for the mug Eddie was handing to him.

Eddie froze for a second, then smiled and wrapped an arm around his waist. “Soon as we’re able, babe, I’m getting on one knee.”

“Um.” Dustin blinked. “I feel like I wasn’t supposed to be here for that. Should I come back later? Like in a couple of hours?”

“I second that,” Wayne added, and Steve flushed red as he buried his face in Eddie’s shoulder.

“I need everyone to please forget I said that.”

“No can do,” Eddie laughed, taking the mug only to put it down and wrap both arms around Steve’s waist. He nudged at Steve’s temple with his nose. “Want them to come back later? I know you meant it, but I also know you wouldn’t’ve said it if you weren’t so tired.”

Steve sighed. “No, it’s fine. I’ll drink the coffee and be fine as long as we can sleep tonight.”

“We can.” He began to sway them gently. “You know I’d say yes?”

“Hm?”

“If you were asking. Or whenever you ask. If you ask. I’d say yes.” He pressed a kiss to Steve’s cheekbone. “And I meant what I said. The minute it’s legal, I’m down on one knee.”

Steve pulled back and framed Eddie’s face with his hands. “I know,” he murmured, leaning in for a short, sweet kiss.

They pulled apart after a minute, and Eddie handed Steve the coffee again. “Go sit down. I’ll help the kid.”

“Hey!”

“You’re still under eighteen, squirt, legally I can still call you that.”

They bickered all the way into the kitchen, and Steve smiled at them as he sipped his coffee.

“About that,” Wayne said, and Steve blanched.

“I swear when I ask for real I’ll get your blessing first.”

Wayne chuckled. “Consider it had. I knew you two were it when you barely left his bedside in the hospital.”

Steve blinked. “We weren’t even dating yet.”

Wayne raised a brow. “Was I wrong?”

He chuckled. “I guess not. Since then? Really?”

Wayne hummed. “You lit up. You both did, seein’ each other. ‘S like the rest of the world ceased to exist. I saw it again just now.”

Steve stood silent for a moment, thinking. “Thanks, Wayne.”

“You’ll always have a home here. That’s not dependent on you two bein’ together. You’re my kid as much as he is.”

“Oh,” Steve said quietly, and quickly took another sip, as if to stop the tears prickling at the corners of his eyes.

Suddenly, he laughs. “Eddie and I are basically co-parenting the kids. How do you feel about being a grandfather to seven rugrats?”

Wayne laughed, his eyes glassy. “Pretty damn good, kid, pretty damn good.”

why is basically every steddie valentine post just:

“steve gives eddie hundreds of dollars worth of gifts, he plans out an elaborate date all as a demonstration of his love and eddie…. accepts it <3 (occasionally with an incredibly cunty comment in his head about steve being straight, or a jock, or rich etc)”

what is fun about shipping this???? (other than the obvious self-insert shit)

#why does no one care about steve lol #can i not have a popular steve ship that isn’t incredibly abusive and only shipped by people that seem to detest steve?? #where are the happy gay steve ships at? #steve harrington #anti fanon steddie #stranger things #my post

I know what today is but I refuse to accept it. Tony is alive and well and enjoying retirement with Steve.

#tony stark #steve rogers #stony #stevetony #Tony isn’t dead #i don’t believe it #happy Tony stark #Tony stark is alive

[wibble-wobbegong]

i have a visceral parasocial hatred with every single person who says steve is their favorite btw. you scraped barrel bottom without picking someone genuinely Bad. steve doesn’t deserve that hyper compared to the MAIN FUCKING CHARACTERS. TO WILL BYERS. im gonna kill people if they don’t get better taste and stop chewing on everything that’s easy to understand and relatable

#‘steve has such a good arc!!’ it is So basic im sorry #it is not a complex and deep arc. it’s /good/ but also painfully simple #‘guy who was an asshole realized he was being an asshole and that he isn’t happy with his friends and joins the losers and is a better #person’ that is 95% of high school movies. oh my god #im literally. ojhhhdhhb my god #this isn’t even about the mike hatred im used to that. will byers at THIRTEEN PERCENT. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU #WHY DOES STRVE HAVE HALF OF ALL THE VOTES #born to enjoy media of varying complexities forced to hate steve by his shit ass fans 🖕🖕 #im a little annoyed if you can’t tell !

I’m definitely putting the cart before the horse, because I have three active multi-chapter WIPs, but I’m debating whether or not to put Nancy Wheeler Can’t Win (my vaguely Freaks and Geeks-inspired no-UD AU) and Life During Wartime (my Will-and-Jonathan no-UD AU) in the same universe and if so how to work out the timeline.

#as always steve and friends being a year older creates difficulties #also it’s jancy-byler but that’s the main thing #and I know when the byler would happen but when does the jancy come in #idk I have a convo planned between will and mike #where Mike is lamenting that he’s the last in the party to get a gf #(because el in this universe is Jane Andolini) #(a happy 14yo girl living in Bloomington with her mom and her stepdad who adopted her) #(so lucas was the first to get a gf—max—followed by Dustin meeting suzie at summer camp) #(and will started dating the perpetually clueless Megan because life’s easier that way) #and Will’s feeling annoyed so he’s like you do not have a gf because you only play D&D and meet no girls #and Mike’s annoyed so he’s like is it weird for Jonathan that you got a girlfriend before him #and Will’s like okay this isn’t the taming of the shrew calm down #and I think it’s funny #actually I think the right answer is that Jonathan and Nancy are fucking but not dating #unbeknownst to anyone

can’t wait for when stancy becomes endgame at the end of season 5 and the duffer bros finally reveal that they fully intended for jonathan and nancy to end up together but joe keery once again managed to change their mind about the trajectory of his character

#like there is no reason why the writers would bring stancy back #have so many people try and push them together #and highlight several times that jonathan wasn’t there for nance #if steve and nancy weren’t gonna be endgame #plus there’s the fact that steve is a fan favorite character while jonathan frankly isn’t #like why would they pass over giving a fan favorite his happy ending?? especially after crushing him so many times?? #plus nancy’s been through so much and loss so much that it’d be a disservice #to have her end up with someone who again the writers repeatedly said wasn’t rlly there for her #and has been trying to slow motion breakup with her for months #stranger things #stancy #my posts #posts: st

[emily-mooon]

If the duffers pre s5 are trying to do a cashgrab of team Jonathan and team Steve shirts they are too late for that cause I want a team Nancy shirt to wear.

#this isn’t 2009 anymore it’s 2023 the era of loving the tippy top and wanting them to be happy #all I want is for Nancy to achieve her dreams and to not end up with someone just because they are popular *cough Steve cough*

[mysteriousxmidnight]

Just realized how many of my posted fics and WIPs include coming out stories and… sorry not sorry.

I discovered/embraced/accepted/whatever word works my sexuality later in life. I’m still not out to everyone in my life. And it’s been a rollercoaster of telling people. I’ve lost some friends. I’ve gained some friends. I find writing about coming out cathartic and I’m not gonna stop 🤷🏼‍♀️

Not that anyone has ever asked me to… Mostly this is me feeling insecure and like people are going to get tired of reading coming out fics so I’m trying to justify it. Thanks, anxiety brain 🙄

#anyhoo #coming out stories can be so personal and so varied #and I love writing those moments #I love a good happy ending to a coming out story #although that isn’t always the case - such as with Steve and his parents when I’m writing Stranger Things #But I think coming out stories are still so important #and I enjoy writing it so #yeah #can’t stop won’t stop #connor murphy #evan hansen #dear evan hansen #deh #eddie munson #steve harrington #stranger things #steddie #treebros
