#Steve: AND I met Robin

[morganbritton132]

Eddie is just trying to sneakily film a Tiktok of Steve complaining about missing another day of work despite the fact that for the better part of the last fifteen hours, he’s been down for the count with a migraine. Eddie barely gets any of his truly ridiculous rant because Steve’s moved on to talk about the commercial faintly playing on the tv.

The song in the commercial is 1985 by Bowling for Soup and Steve is like, “That was a good year, yeah?”

Eddie: …Weren’t you in a fire in 1985?

Steve: Yeah, but it was still a good year

Eddie: All those people died that summer

Eddie: And that was the year that your dad cut you off because you didn’t get into college and you had to get a job dressed as a sailor.

Eddie: And you got beat up and stuck in an elevator

Eddie: You hit a guy with a car

Steve: And it was still a good year! That’s when I met Robin.

#Eddie: You got tortured #Steve: AND I met Robin #all across the world conspiracy theorists log into Reddit to argue about Steve Harrington #their fbi agent is in the chats trying to push a theory that this is all one big elaborate ARG #we haven’t mentioned that Steve his someone with a car lately #eddie munson tiktok saga #steve harrington #eddie munson

Wait hehe.

Modern au where Eddie has a decent following in social media and is known as both a guy who does ttrpg with a few friends and does cool metal covers of different song genres. He's weird, sure, and will also post two minute video monologues but it's done while camera is mildly unfocused on a worm on the wet pavement, or he'll rant about prog rock and then two minutes later go "I'm sorry my statements on Keith Emmerson were inappropriate and I guess" *pauses and looks off camera* "he totally deserves to be in the rock and roll Hall of Fame" like it's a hostage video and someone made him say it because he looks like he's having a terrible time about it.

Anyways he's an internet funny little man and one day he posts a tiktok or what have you labeled "tfw ur bf is sitting in his platonic soulmate's lap instead of yours" and it's just of Steve sitting sideways across Robin's lap on someone's couch chatting and smiling with her before turning to Eddie and giving a little finger wave.

This is of course met with internet hullabaloo because is that Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley? Famous indie music duo who are also starring in a popular new tv series? Social media weirdos? Beloved and popular and bizarre and memeable? Queer icons RobinandSteve? Was Eddie serious? He was dating thee Steve Harrington?

An hour later Robin tags Eddie in a post that is a video obviously taken from slightly under Steve as the angles are a bit weird, and Eddie can be heard saying "oh my god how could I have forgotten you're, like, really famous how'd I do that Steve! Babe, Stop laughing! It was supposed to be a silly relatable post! You're no better Buckley-hey why are you filming this? My mortification isn't funny!!" While the video is just shaking of Steve curling in on himself and Robin trying to focus on Eddie and you can hear them both cackling over Eddie talking. She captions it "tfw ur QPP's bf forgets you two are famous and that most ppl don't know they're dating. Or didn't, at least"

[ Joyce invites everyone to have dinner at Hopper's cabin. ]

Steve: I can’t come.

Joyce: Why not?

Steve: I’ll be washing my hair.

Robin: I’ll be holding the towel.

Nancy: I’ll be running the water.

Vickie: And I’ll be at home trying to get over the fact that nobody invited me to the big hair washing party.

thinking about eddie post-s4 with a massive crush on steve but he knows steve is Straight with a capital S but every now and then he watches steve do/say something not so questionably fruity and eddie squints real hard and tries to read between the lines but at the end of the day he's still just left more confused than ever so he writes down the encounter on a little sticky note and tapes it up to the blank space of wall in the back of his closet, covered with events and musings and photos, all connected by yards of red string that make no sense at all. he stares at it for a long minute, pondering the question written in sharpie at the top steve harrington: gay? until he gets bored or frustrated enough to move his clothes back in the way to block it from ever seeing the light of day.

it's two weeks and one half-drunken kiss later when steve tells eddie he's bisexual, and suddenly all the contradictory flirting with both guys and girls starts to make a lot more sense.

Was Having Some Thoughts

Was having some thoughts about Steve and Barb and how their personalities would’ve probably lined up so well had Barb not died.

Then I was thinking of writing a canon-divergence AU with alive Barb.

Then I thought: ghost Barb.

And now here we are.

Barb who, after dying in the Upside Down, returns to the Harrington Estate against her Will and essentially scaring the ever-loving fuck out of Steve.

Turns out, for some fucked up reason, Barb is tied to Steve.

Literally everything in the show stays the same (mostly) but with ghost Barb hovering over Steve’s shoulder and judging his every move. She likes Robin so fucking much when they both first meet her at Scoops (cause— unfortunately— wherever Steve goes Barb goes).

But where they both play it off as absolutely hating each other and just down right loathing the fact that they’re literally spiritually bonded, they both would also die for each other (in a sense).

Like Barb will call Steve a whore and Steve will shoot right back calling her a bitch but Barbs also there for the worst of Steve’s nightmares and migraines and Steve’s there for when Barb feels useless and just needs to talk.

The fuckery that is the Spring Break From Hell happens and it ends with Max and Eddie both well and alive cause fuck the canon.

But it also ends with Barb being tangible and actually there in the topside.

Idk

#stranger things #steve harrington #eddie munson #barb holland #steve has trauma #barb usually makes fun of him for it #unless shit gets real #cause she’s good with social cues #barb and steve friendship I’ve oddly been craving #barb and nancy #cause duh #barb and robin shoulda met #they’d be besties fr #steve hates when they interact after robin’s in the know #cause they’re usually teasing and making fun of him #barb and mike friendship to #cause I said so

There are definitely ships and tropes and takes and headcanons I don’t vibe with, and occasionally people put things into fanfic and meta that I find distasteful or even offensive, but I think people in this fandom (including me sometimes) can be a little rigid, especially when it comes to fic. Like, I don’t know, not everybody writes fic as a manifesto about the Exact Correct Takes on Canon. Sometimes people are just like “what if this happened.”

#this was inspired by two separate posts about other characters being friends with Eddie #(disapproving of those friendships in Fic I mean) #not even the great would will like Eddie debate #they were about Nancy (too much of a bitch natch) #and Robin (only allowed to be friends with Steve I guess) #also people complaining about shipping Robin with girls she’s never met in canon #like yeah duh that’s why people are writing fic #so they can meet. in our imaginations. #also does anyone ever really ‘meet’ anyone in the show anymore

fantasy weapons hc's!

nancy - bow/crossbow. i think this one is kind of obvious tbh, but i think that nancy can use a sword when she needs to. it's not her weapon of choice, but she'll use it if she has to. (nancy also secretly has magic, but that's a separate thing entirely) in the 'real' world, nancy of course has her beloved guns. (though she does keep an extra bow and quiver in the closet just to keep herself from getting rusty.

robin - torn between magic and sword honestly. robin to me definitely seems to be the one who would lean more into the magic aspect of everything, but i do like the idea that she has a sword that's specifically for her. like Riptide for percy jackson. or Excalibur. it's a broadsword made specifically for her, she's the only one who can wield it. (nancy does however, teach her how to use a bow. gay panic ensues.)

steve - big swords. montante sword. anything that has to be wielded in two hands is his specialty. (this includes baseball bats). he's also pretty skilled at close unarmed combat. (he doesn't always win the fights...but he tries!)

jonathan - i do not think jonathan is the type to use a sword, at all. unless it was to protect will, then i could see him picking up a sword. the most i think he has is a short sword that joyce asks him to carry with him, especially if he's travelling with will, or even just travelling alone. he's also a skilled unarmed combat fighter (as we've seen...) and he can fight, but i don't think he is a fighter. i could definitely see him with a big ass shield though.

argyle - once again i do not think he's a fighter. in fact he's the LEAST likely to be a fighter. but he does know the forest, and he's definitely the one who's patching up everyone. collecting the herbs to make salves and creams and the occasional potion to heal any cuts/infections. he also helps them relax. (nancy needs that purple palm tree delight im so serious) in the 'real' world, argyle runs a pharmacy.

eddie - daggers and rapiers. he's good with smaller/sharper weapons. throwing knives too. he finds other types of swords to be too big and clunky. i'd like to imagine he's also pretty skilled with shields too (as we've seen). in the fairytale world, he and wayne were blacksmiths, so eddie knows his way around weapons.

(also tagging @perceivedregret bc i'm still having ouat au brainrot it's only growing)

#stranger things #ouat au #nancy wheeler #robin buckley #steve harrington #jonathan byers #argyle #eddie munson #ronance #steddie #jargyle #yes they are all gay #if you must know steve is a prince in the fairytale land and he meets eddie bc eddie tries to rob him lmao #to me they are the 'i will always find you' type #ronance is the 'as you wish' type #jargyle is the 'anything for you' type #i don't yet have it in my mind how jargyle met in the fairytale land or if they even meet in fairytale land #maybe they meet in hawkins and go from there idk #i DO know that steve and nancy were engaged at one point #these things come to me in flashes i can't help it #fantasy au #kinda

Between the boys, Eddie's more Nancy's best friend than Steve is, the way she knows Robin is more Steve's best friend than she is. Sure, Nance and Steve talk and they love each other to bits but Steve just clicks with Robin, and it turns out, Nance clicks with Eddie.

Eddie was the most surprised out of all of them at this turn of events, more so because Nancy was the *least* surprised about it. He's a cool dude, Nance could tell from the moment they met. He's genuine, he's kind and maybe she already liked him just from knowing how Mike has him in the highest pedestal he could possibly construct.

They share a passion for books and trade their favorites regularly, it becomes a tradition they'll read something and then switch as soon as they're done so they can later talk (bitch) about the stuff they read together. They're both gossipy, they're both judgey, they info dump the other, Nance's taste in music is the only one Eddie will respect outside of his stuff and Eddie is the only person in the world Nancy would ever take fashion advice from. They're a mismatched pair to outsiders but to Nancy, it makes perfect sense.

#here‚ have a snippet from my ''Steve helps Nancy woo Robin and then Nancy corners Steve into asking Eddie out'' WIP #stranger things #eddie munson #nancy wheeler #eddie and nancy #pushing the ''eddie and nancy are best friends'' agenda #headcanon #fanfiction #fanfic #i don't actually know how these two met so I'm asking you to ignore canon if it was bad lol #the fruity four #.

Eddie’s live-streaming in the middle of the afternoon one day, strumming on his guitar in his studio when he hears the door at the top of the stairs open and then slam shut. There’s a lot of fast and heavy steps, and then there’s Steve standing in the room, out of breath and wide eyed.

They just stare at each other for a second before Steve asks with barely concealed excitement, “You got the job?”

Eddie’s face breaks out into a big smile and confirms, “I got the job.”

“You got the job!!” Steve says excited and mimes playing a trumpet. Eddie’s just barely sat his guitar to the side before he’s got a lap full of Steve. “I’m so proud of you.”

Eddie smiles into the kiss he gets and looks soft when Steve rambles excitedly about how he knew he’d get it, but Eddie also remembers he’s live-streaming so he says, “Careful, babe. You’re the only one who knows, not allowed to tell anybody yet.”

#Robin after this moment is clipped and reposted to hell and back: Why does this remind me of the first time I met Dustin? #Eddie texted Steve the news on his way home from work so he was expecting Steve to show up #eddie munson tiktok saga #steve harrington #eddie munson

if we don’t get more codependent steve and robin in s5 I’ll find the duffers and start living inside their walls

#and haunt them for the rest of their lives #s4 stobin weren't codependent enough #in fact they weren't codependent at all #that's a lesbian in 80s and her flop failson bff LIKE BE SERIOUS #why tf did nancy jump in the lake after steve IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ROBIN #they need to stop pushing the stancy agenda on our faces #NO ONE LIKES IT #I haven't met a single person yet who likes stancy #anyways sorry for the angry rant in tags #every time i remember the boat scene and the little nuggets scene my blood boils #steve harrington #robin buckley #platonic stobin #stranger things

[devondespresso]

i absolutely adore whenever Alexi pops up in fics and when people casually ignore his death like yeah hes been here the whole time hes just kinda quiet and hes got his slushie so he didn't really feel like chiming in to the conversation. also love when hes just there in modern aus as like murrays roommate or whatnot. he deserves to be immortalized

#stranger things #Alexi stranger things #i have no idea if im spelling his name right #i cannot fathom another spelling of it #stranger things season 3 #stranger things s3 #i can imagine a fun little scene where like ppl who haven't met Alexi are stopping by murrays or something #and theres someone out of the upside down loop there so murray has to play off why his roommates this Russian guy that hopper hates #and so hes just like yea this is my roommate alexi hes shy #and alexi only talks by whispering to murray and no one else so he doesn't give himself away #that could be so funny #but now im thinking angst wise if anyone in scoops troop but specific robin or steve heard murrays weird roommate talking in Russian #they'd totally freak #maybe have a panic attack or flashback or maybe run to hop or Joyce like #guys alexis a Russian spy we have to do something #and then an awkward conversation of yea we know he kinda committed treason i think and we didn't really talk about it #devon thinks sometimes

Steve: You’re supposed to pour the milk first!

Robin: No, you pour the cereal first to see how much milk you need!

Steve: It tastes better milk first!

Robin: It tastes the same!

Steve: Wait – Why are you wearing Vickie's shirt?

Robin: Milk first it is.
