insane headcanon/AU that the Until Dawn kids were camp counselors for the Hacketeers.
head girl's counselor is Emily, Emma loves her and they take super cute "Big Em, Little Em" pics together all the time. She (and Jessica) teach little Em how to do her eyeliner and crop all of her clothes and how to deal with stupid boys. When Emma feels insecure and doesn't think perfect Emily will relate, Jessica teaches her about 'fake it til you make it' confidence. By the end of the summer, Emma has Jacob wrapped around her finger, but Abi is the one she'll be keeping in touch with.
head boy's counselor is Chris, he's the most popular of the group, both with his friends and the kids. After seeing Dylan by himself the first few days, he teaches him how to make friends using humor and pranks.
Ryan's favorite counselor is Josh--he thinks it's amazing that Josh's dad makes horror movies, and Josh tells him all kinds of behind the scenes facts. Josh also helps him make the spookiest ghost stories. Chris, Josh, Ryan and Dylan are kind of menaces when they're all together, but it's hard to stay mad at them.
Ashley, in charge of arts and crafts, and Abi bond immediately, though this causes some friction as it makes Abi and Emma argue over who is cooler--Ash or Emily. Ashley encourages Abi's art, and giving Abi advice about her crush on the more popular Emma makes Ash realize she needs to do something about her own crush on super popular Chris.
Sam quickly takes Kaitlyn and Laura under her wing, with lots of chill, practical survival advice. Sam takes the classic camp experience seriously, but not too seriously, and both Kait and Laura want to be a counselor just like her. Kaitlyn turns out to be a crackshot at the range and Laura is talented in first aid.
Max and Jacob initially gravitate to Mike, seeing how cool he is and how both Jessica and Emily like him (Laura is Max's neighbor and first love and this summer, he wants to be more than friends). When Mike's relationship drama stirs up, Max shifts to the quieter Matt--but Mike's love of animals shows Jacob that it's okay for a popular, macho guy to have a softer side.
Matt is in his first year as a counselor, and although he's in charge of sports activities, he still feels like a camper himself. Working with quiet, newly immigrated Nick is a perfect fit, as they bond over sports and Matt is able to use his connections with the other counselors and their Hacketeers to help Nick make friends.

Steve switches laundry detergents and Eddie is allergic to the new one
I've wanted to try my hand at some camp counselor steddie for the past few weeks, so I thought this prompt might be a good one to do it with, since it's got a pretty plausible reason for the change.
To go with this, background (because who am I without writing a complicated response to a prompt):
Eddie and Nancy practically run the camp, they've been going there since they were five, and are both now twenty. Chrissy, Jonathan and Argyle have also been going for a while. Eddie is really close with Chrissy and with Nancy. Steve and Robin are new this year.
Because Steve is a new counselor, he's over 'The Secret Base' cabin, which is what Will, Lucas, Dustin and Mike have claimed for 8 years together. Normally Eddie is over them, but has been given more responsibility this year, so Steve is stepping in and Eddie will be helping him if needed, as well as rooming with him in the small attached room.
Also I do realize that even though this is a Steve prompt, it technically affects everyone around Eddie. But we're going to ignore that. Enjoy!
XXX
After four days at camp, Eddie and Nancy round up all of the laundry from the cabins, splitting it into girl counselors, guy counselors, and the rest going by each cabin. The twenty year old keeps all of his things separate, just like all other fifteen years, his sensitive skin only allowing for a specific detergent that he brings himself.
As they carry bags up to the main building, Nancy makes an offhand comment about a new detergent they're trying out, but that they might switch back since their old one is cheaper. Eddie doesn't think much of it, nodding and watching as a few kids run around the large green field in the middle of the camp area. They dump half of all the boys cabins' clothes into the large, industrial washer, Nancy puts the detergent in and then they both sigh from the trek.
Nose itching slightly, the camp manager rubs at it with his wrist, sniffling. When the feeling doesn't let up, Eddie brings the neck of his shirt up and over his face, turning away from the woman next to him.
"ihgxt! hih'nGKkt! God, s-sohhry- ih'gkKT'uh!"
"Bless you," Nancy offers with a smile, and Eddie nods in thanks before stretching.
"Alright, let's go start on breakfast, shall we?"
By that night, everyone's clothing is done washing. The kids are lined up getting their clothing from Argyle and Jonathan, and Eddie's walking with Steve back to their cabin to put their own stuff away. Eddie's carrying both his and Steve's clothes so Steve can carry the other boys clothing, which they'd so graciously grabbed to allow the four to work on some campaign they're planning.
"h'KGX'uh! ih'NXt'uh! hih'GXTtuh! Sorry," Eddie sniffles into his wrist, turning back around after having snapped his face into his arm and twisting to avoid sneezing on Steve.
"It's fine dude. So...I know we all went out to the lake last night, is that a common occurrence?" Steve's curiosity makes Eddie laugh.
"Yeah, usually. Sometimes not all of us go, but you can always find Argyle and Jonathan up there since they've got the oldest of the kids. Usually don't have to worry about them waking up with nightmares or having peed their bunks or anything," Eddie chuckles, scrunching his nose up.
Steve nods, looking happy to have that time without kids. Eddie watches him walk into the cabin and feels his heart flutter a bit. God he's so fucked.
Three hours later, Lucas, Will, Dustin and Mike are all in their respective top bunks, laughing and throwing things at each other. It's past 10, which usually means lights out, but Eddie and Steve are still working on getting ready to go to bed, so the kids get some extra time. Shivering, Eddie huffs and looks through his bag, groaning when he can't seem to find his usual black sweatshirt. He's always been cold natured, and with the fan going, fixed right in the middle of the tiny room he and Steve are sleeping in, he's extra cold.
"What's up?" Steve asks, stretching as he sits on his bed, looking soft and sleepy. Eddie smiles at him, but then he rolls his eyes when he remembers why he's annoyed.
"Can't find my sweatshirt," the twenty year old grumbles, kicking his bag back under his own bed opposite of Steve's.
"Oh, here, hold on."
As Steve rummages through his own bag, Eddie pulls his hair up into a messy bun and looks over the list of things he has set for his early morning. When he's halfway through, something hits him in the face. Looking down, he sees a bright green sweatshirt with 'Harrington, 28' on the back in bold, white font.
"You can use mine till you find yours. I bet someone else just accidentally grabbed it from the laundry," Steve assures.
"Oh, thanks Stevie, for letting me wear your jacket. I bet it's a honor, I'll make all the girls jealous," he jokes, tugging it on.
As soon as he does, a slightly floral scent washes over him. It's almost nice, until it starts making his nose itch. He's never been allergic to much, mostly just cats and dust, never anything like flowers, but he guesses this is what it must feel like. Sniffling, he reaches frantically for his bandana that's tossed onto the small bedside table.
"ihh'KGt! ihdjTCH! huh'IHGTtschh'uhew!"
Bandana pressed tightly to his nose, his eyes flutter again.
"hihKTCH'uhew! ihgkch'ew! F-Fuhhking hell...ihnktch'uh! huh'IHKksh'uhEW! God damn it!"
Steve is watching, wide eyed, as Eddie rubs his nose and sniffles, head suddenly packed with congestion. Rubbing his right eye, the guitarist turns back to Steve, snuffling.
"D-Do you wear cologne or s-" Eddie stops mid sentence, nostrils flaring. He rubs at them with his knuckles, and then he groans again. "Fuck! The...shit, the detergent..." he grumbles, coughing a little. Yanking Steve's jacket off, he throws it back at him. His arms have little red dots appearing randomly.
"Dude!"
"I'm gonna kill Nancy."

Continuing because telling you first was honestly just a courtesy. (/lh)
Anyway so it's a Camp AU and Sophie, Fitz, and Keefe are all Counselors of different cabins. Keefe and Fitz have both been there for three summers, and Sophie's a newbie this summer and is actually replacing her sister.
The camp is called Camp Alluveterre, and there are a total of five cabins. Each cabin is run by at least one councilor, but some of them are run by two. Each year the cabins aren't just places to sleep, but also quite competitive to try and win at all of the different activities. The counselors only encourage this behavior, because they're all insanely competitive (more so then the majority of the campers).
The cabins are:
Moonlark Cabin: Co-run by Counselors Marella Redek and Sophie Foster
Dragon Cabin: Run by Counselor Fitz Vacker.
Murcat Cabin: Co-run by Linh Song and Tam Song
Kraken Cabin: Co-run by Keefe Sencen and Dex Dizznee
Alicorn Cabin: Run by Biana Vacker
Sophie's the New Guy In Town, and has no idea what's happening, but pretty much the rundown is:
-Everyone except Sophie has been going to this camp for the past 7 years, and all of the campers who aren't new here know that there is a LOT of relationship drama going on.
-Both cabins joke that Keefe and Fitz are in love, and they decide to play along. However, they're now actually starting to catch feelings and this is a Very Bad thing because they're best friends and what if they ruin it?
-Biana and Tam are actually terrifyingly competitive. It's actually scary. They hate each other's guts and they both have a title won from best cabin, this is the tie breaker. But something's...different this year. They're falling in love, but don't worry! Both of them are too prideful to admit it.
-Linh and Marella are both literally the most oblivious pining lesbians and both of their cabins are DYING. Because they're literally crushing so hard on each other but Linh's not catching on to Marella flirting and Marella isn't realizing she's flirting...it would be too bad if someone were to...forge a love letter...
-Sophie's first day comes around and it's already a disaster because of the shit mentioned above. She's a little overwhelmed and has some big shoes to fill (and maybe a love letter to help the campers forge). But then, she finds out that Cabin Kraken is known for pranking...the hard way.
-She ends up getting a bloody nose in the chaos of trying to calm her campers down and is livid at Keefe because "what on earth would make him think this was a good idea?" But Keefe is really really apologetic and walks her to Elwin's cabin and introduces himself.
-Then a week later she has to Co-Captain a team with Fitz for capture the flag but oh no he's so pretty wtf she's in love with two camp counselors and it turns out that they've been DATING for three years but oh they're so smart and funny and...
Anyway, everything is actually a disaster and no one knows what's going on. Y'know, keeper style.
[^first ask that was referred to in the beginning.]
dude???? i would so read this???? this sounds so interesting???? "...everything is actually a disaster and no one knows what's going on..." is also the best summary of the romantic sides of kotlc i've ever seen. this ramble really does stay true to kotlc's love triangle antics smh. except better
