I just wanted to do a full recommendation/review/whatever you’d call this of a fic I absolutely ADORE for one of my friends who deserves to hear how good of a writer she is.
Lust For Life by @oopsiedaisiesbaby is an incredible piece of writing, even if you read it having no idea who Billy or Steve are. Tonally, it is a modern romcom with an adorable ending that made me cry more than once (I will try to keep spoilers to the very minimum)
Steve has a heart of gold, he is so incredibly precious while still being immediately recognisable as himself from the show. His disability and his experiences as a sex worker are discussed honestly and compassionately and the way he works to be a better person than he was in high school is incredibly heartwarming.
Billy is a scene stealer in every chapter he’s in. He’s both so unmistakably Billy in his temperament and mannerisms while clearly having been able to heal from both the Mindflayer and Neil. The way his character progresses and grows, with both heart and humour makes you unable to stop reading. It’s a smaller detail but I also adore how intelligent, both academically and emotionally Billy is in this fic, it really adds an extra layer of depth to the piece.
Harringrove’s relationship is truly the soul of the fic. Without giving too much away, the way they become so entangled in each other’s life, from the very first meeting to the very end could easily match up to the standard of published romance books, while still showing their dumb mistakes that are typical of their early twenties.
The supporting cast include Robin, who is a delight as always as Steve’s best friend, Heather who I personally think is one of the most interesting characters in this fic, Jason who is a “vicious murder twink” and also effortlessly one of the funniest characters and Eddie, who couldn’t be any more Eddie if he tried. Despite not having as large of a role, Jonathan, Argyle and the party all make cameos too and are extremely fun.
Overall I’d say if you like Harringrove, munver, Buckleway, friends to friends with benefits to lovers and a very oblivious “straight” Steve, I’d immediately recommend this fic, it’s so worth it.

@dragonflylady77 wrote a fic for me for Valentine exchage we're both in, and you're gonna go and read it, okay? There's Billy, back in Hawkins for Max and Lucas' wedding. And there's a limo that will bring Max to the church. And most of all, there's a limo driver who is none other than Billy's old crush from high school, Steve Harrington.
Go. Read it. Show it some love. Do it for me.
I'll be in my corner crying happy tears, you just go and read a good fic!

i’m writing harringrove again!
so I watched season 4 and started missing our boys again. I'm currently writing maybekegboys? who knows, what it will actually turns out to be :D 
in the meantime, if you’d like to read some of my previous harringrove, I would be honored:
Dick Harrington Doesn't Know What He's Doing Series in which Steve’s dad is Pretty Okay! and people have feelings about this
Richard Harrington: Hawkins' Okayest Dad in which the thing about Richard Harrington was: he was a smart man, self-aware one. He knew he wasn’t the best parent in the world, but his son always seemed to be doing okay.He never had a heart to punish Steve. After all, he loved his son, so much. He just wasn’t very good at showing it.But he really, truly cared about his boy’s happiness. And now, standing in his son’s ajar bedroom’s door, Richard had to wonder: was this the thing making Steve happy?
who are those people? in which Dick is hungover and there are even more people in his house. Good thing Billy's cooking is excellent.
Billy Hargrove's Week-Long Headache in which It's been four days since Steve's father came home, and he's not going to leave for another six. Steve's mostly at work, so Billy's trapped in the house with Mr. Harrington. He's slowly losing his mind, and can't even go for a ride, since Neil still keeping the Camaro hostage.The more Richard proves he's decent man, the more Billy feels like it's all a trap.
ain't no rest for the wicked in which Steve is way too blasé about murder and Billy's in near-constant state of panic.
Summary:
Steve Harrington is just standing here, like he’s not the one who fucking hit a human with a nailed bat in the head, like it was nothing, like Neil isn’t laying on the ground with a crushed skull, oh God, is this some cruel fucking joke, why is this the time for his prayers to be listened to, why couldn’t it be when he was fucking nine and fucking praying for his daddy to stop hitting him?
and also this disaster of an idea AND execution which is pretty cringy, but i’m gonna link anyway, because I’m an attention whore:
what we do in Chicago in which In hindsight, it was kinda obvious. The constant “business trips”, never-ending stream of “high-society parties”, almost fearful respect all their supposed co-workers were showing, the ambiguity of what, exactly, they were doing for living… Steve’s parents were mafia.

I am doing so much research on sex and getting off and being paralyzed instead of writing part 4 (I have one paragraph) but I am having so many thoughts on Jason being insecure and not being sure if he can still even get hard and then Eddie just helping cause that's what friends do. Alright I'm gonna leave now.
There is a very good Harringrove with this sort of vibe, two hundred and six by withoneheadlight. Super poetic and beautiful, I love it.
