Decided to make a Steddie fic rec list because I’m bored and love seeing these. No theme or anything. Just some of my absolute favorites from the top of my head. All of these are completed and all of them have happy endings because I’m a sap! These are also all really good writers so you should probably check out their other stuff too!
Took You For A Working Boy by Pukner (M, 43K) - Set during a lowkey apocalypse after season 4. Eddie comes out as gay and Steve tries to figure out why he feels so upset about it. Explores genderqueer Steve Harrington in such a beautiful and delicate way. Also focusses a lot on Steve and Robin’s friendship, which I always love. Straight up cried over how sweet they all are.
cause in the back of my mind, i’m in the back of your car by GreatUnironic (E, 68K) - Modern, Formula 1 AU, but don’t let that stop you if you’re not into racing!! I feel like most people know one of their other fics (The Greatest Thing About You Standing In The Doorway Is That It’s You), but I also really love this one and I think everyone should read it. Deals with Steve becoming injured after a racing accident and staying at Eddie’s house to recover. Handles Steve’s injuries very well, great exploration of long term effects of internalized homophobia. Also just so sweet.
The Party Crashers by how_about_no (M, 35K) - Real romcom energy in this one. No upside down. Eddie and Steve are practically strangers when Eddie invites him to crash a party together and it becomes a habit. Such well written flirty dialogue, incredibly charming. Makes me kick my feet and giggle every time I read it. Instant serotonin boost.
Till I Kissed You by 96tears (T, 18K) - Eddie tells Steve he never really understood the big deal about kissing. Steve concludes he must be bad at it and they decide to kiss to settle it once and for all. Both of them spiral into a sexuality crisis when they like it a lot more than expected. Such well written oblivousness, it kinda reminded me of my high school self. Packs a lot of punch while still being really funny and sweet. I love stories where Eddie also doesn’t know he’s queer yet.
Doing Nothing With You by Red0akTree (M, 106K) - Steve and Robin get a place together and Eddie and Nancy start coming over all the time. Really nice, slow slice-of-life feeling as Steve and Eddie grow closer. Deals with the struggles of becoming and adult and worrying about your friends moving away and accidentaly kissing your friend when your drunk and panicking about it. All very relatable stuff!! Incredibly sweet! Also features Jonathan and Steve and Eddie smoking weed together, which I always think is fun.
Star Star by poorlittlegreenie (M, 93K) - more fake dating, in a modern NYC AU this time. Robin joins a new band which means Steve has to hang out with frontman Eddie and they get off on the wrong foot. Jonathan asks the two of them to pretend to date for a little bit to show Will an example of a happy gay couple. Enemies to lovers vibe even if they start to get along pretty quickly. Incredibly fun but then also kinda angsty. Both of these boys have some attachment issues to work through, but they get there in the end!
Might do more in the future!

mjf 'blackmailing' punk into sucking his dick but they both know if punk actually didn't want to he could get out of it no problem.
punk taking good care of max, treating him nice, not quitting and spitting when it's over. and when mjf is all post-orgasm haze with no ego to wear as his shield, punk brings him into a kiss. max could melt into it, falling hook line and sinker for the chaste press of lips right up until--
punk's fingers pull tighter in max's hair, curling and holding. not pulling him away but holding him still, tight and cruel, as his tongue pushes max's cum into his own mouth. hadn't swallowed much at all, sliding it all down max's throat as he holds him still and forces him to take it

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.
you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.
you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.
don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.
if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.
you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:
how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!
aren't you happy yet?
