hi, i'm a newbie to tumblr so I don’t really know how this works, but I wrote a new part for my unhinged series :) go check it out!
okay, so I have two headcanons for bi steve and there's no in between. It's either he's always sort of known he liked guys too but shoved it down and oppressed it as hard as he could, because "it's not normal", "it's not okay", especially because of all the hateful comments his dad makes; he's just always known and always hated it and been scared of it and then he has to slowly realize, with the help of Robin and Eddie and maybe even Will (because he gives Will advice, helps him come to terms with it and helps himself in the process), that, you know what, it actually is okay and he actually does deserve love and it's all gonna be fine.
Or. It's Steve figuring out he's sort of in love with Eddie after 20 years of thinking he was exclusively into girls or at least never realizing he might have had crushes on boys too and just being like. Huh. Isn't that something. Because he's seen monsters and murdurous vines and has been literally tortured and literally dragged through hell, so a crush on a guy is really not that big of a deal, is it?
(that second one always features robin being like "are you kidding me? I had a gay crisis for literal years and you're just like oh, oh.??)
Okay, hear me out; as much as I love teasing, funny, kept the kid in his heart Eddie...I'm obsessed with the idea of a very serious Eddie when he gets older. Like, don't get me wrong, he still messes around with people and teases Dustin and makes stupid jokes, he's still Eddie Munson, but he's just...mature, in a way. Like real mature, rested, a little quiet sometimes even, because being loud used to be his safe space but then he almost died being loud and just - ugh idk. All these rockstar AUs where he gives like the most serious, heavy interviews about his scars and his trauma and songwriting but is still charming as hell and stuff, that's the Eddie I mean.
Like just Eddie knowing exactly what he's doing, Eddie being sure of himself, knowing who he is, a little like he's grown into his personality. Just Eddie...I don't know, this sounds stupid, but just Eddie being a man.
(Eddie, holding Steve close while slow dancing with him in the living room, then just looking at him and brushing a strand of hair out of his face with the softest expression on his own, every one of his actions saying with everything I am, I'm in love with you. And Steve can just admire the man he is.)
Look, I love the whole Robin and Eddie clocking each other thing but lately I’ve been thinking so much about what if Robin clocked Steve immediately?
Like imagine Steve setting foot into Scoops Ahoy on their first day together, in cuffed jeans and a light striped polo shirt, his hair carefully groomed, his lips so pink Robin isn’t sure for a second if she can actually rule out that he’s put on lipgloss, and she just takes one look at him and is like oh damn Steve Harrington is a raging bisexual how did I never notice?
hi, i finished a little story! it's on ao3, here's the link:
it's about steve knowing how to play the piano, eddie having a lot of feelings about it and nancy being fine with that <3
here's a little snippet:
They walk over to the door, Eddie behind Nancy, because Nancy is the strong one, no doubt, and Eddie’s heart starts nervously beating faster. He has accepted that that’s just how it’s gonna be from now on. Living in a constant state of being alert. Being a little scared. Always expecting the worst.
The door is slightly ajar and Nancy just pushes it open a little wider.
Wide enough for them to see the scene playing out in front of them.
The room isn’t actually all that dark, with the almost full moon shining through the huge windows and bathing the furniture in soft silver light.
The furniture and…and Steve.
Because Steve-
Look, of course Eddie knew they had a piano. He practically almost lives here with the amount of nights he stays over, he’s seen it countless times.
Eddie just didn’t know Steve could play.
It never even occurred to him, the idea of Steve I Live For Athletics Harrington actually sitting down and taking his time to learn how to play an instrument.
But now, it just…
He’s sitting there, playing the piano. And it’s the most beautiful thing Eddie’s ever seen. Because Steve’s completely lost in it. His eyes are closed, he doesn’t notice them, his upper body gently swaying back and forth with the flow of the music. His fingers move fast and sure, not a single trace of doubt or even flaw, the way he plays is…it’s perfection.
Picture this: Steve taking Mike to the 5150 Tour in May 1986 because no one else will go with him (Eddie's still in his slow recovering process and Karen only trusts Steve to bring Mike back in one piece anyway), watching the concert and realizing exactly three things:
1. Eddie stole...everything from Van Halen, his style, his hair, his instrument, his goddamn name, even.
2. Eddie Van Halen's kind of hot.
3. Eddie Munson is kind of hot.
hi, i wrote another small fic (like 6k words). it's about steve and eddie running into each other at a laundromat :) go check it out <3
what if i wrote a fic where robin dies? and steve can't deal with that so he runs away? what if what if what if?
(i did.)
"Still super jealous as hell by the way.“
"Okay, now, can you…get outta my face?“ Steve annoyedly swats a hand at Eddie’s chest and ducks out of his space.
Eddie sighs and shakes his head. "Why are you-" He purses his lips, thinks. "You don’t…you still don’t like me very much, do you?"
At that Steve stops walking, huffs out an annoyed breath and presses his eyes closed. He turns to Eddie, looks at him with an expression Eddie can’t read and says, "No, Eddie. No, I don’t."
Eddie just watches him for a second, not sure what to do, studies his face, the furrow between his brows, the clear discomfort in his expression.
He scoffs. Getting a little angry. "Jesus, man,“ he says. "You just can’t get over it, huh? And here I was rambling on about how you were actually a good dude after all, but…no, turns out Steve Harrington is still just as much stuck in his stupid high school mindset as I would have thought.“
Steve just looks more annoyed now, a slight shift in his eyebrow and…he looks…frustrated? A little? How does that make sense?
"You,“ Steve says, voice low, but not because of the monsters, Eddie knows that much, "are unbelievable.“
Eddie blinks. "What?“
"Eddie, you’re the one who can’t get over it,“ Steve accuses him. "You always talk about that non-conformist shit and how people should just stop with the categories and drawers and labels but, dude, you’ve never judged people that way yourself! I have been saved in your brain as this dumb idiot jock ever since you’ve known me and…“ Steve huffs out an unbelieving breath. "And Eddie, I don’t know what to tell you…but you’ve never been nice to me. Ever. And when Lucas made the basketball team, which is amazing, by the way, you weren’t proud of him or supported him for that incredible achievement like you should have if he’s really one of your 'little sheep‘.“ He draws quotation marks in the air. "You punished him for it. You said you can’t make Hellfire? Fuck you. I’m just gonna have the most important part of the campaign without you, because you know what, you don’t deserve us anymore now that you’ve joined the dark side. Now that you’ve taken up a…a jock game. Because god forbid, somebody could actually ever enjoy playing sports.“
Eddie can’t follow. His mind’s lagging behind, still stuck on Steve apparently knowing DnD terms and saying he was never nice to him and-
Steve takes another step back.
"Eddie, for as long as I can remember you hated me. And yeah, sure, I was stupid and I did some stupid things, but…“ he shrugs one sided. "But I don’t think I deserve to be treated that way. I think I at least deserved a chance. And you never gave me one.“
Eddie blinks. "What do you mean I never gave you a chance, I-"
"Biology, sophomore year,“ Steve interrupts him. "We were assigned lab partners. I tried to really…put all of it aside, tried to get to know you, because actually, Eddie, you know what? I was sort of obsessed with you. Because you were so…loud and so unashamedly yourself, I admired you so much. You didn’t care about anything and you stood up for yourself and that’s something I’ve never been able to do, my whole life. I…“ Steve looks down, sighs a little. "I let people push me around because it’s the only way I feel like I can be of use. But you…you made me believe that maybe actually I…could do it, you know? Like, tell Tommy H. off or something…“ He looks so hurt. Eddie kind of wants to die. "But you…you acted like it was the worst thing ever, getting partnered with me. You didn’t even look at me. You…never gave me a chance, Eddie. So…sorry if one 'you’re actually a good dude, Harrington' doesn’t make me forget all of that, make up for it. Because I’m not so sure I believe you.“
Oh.
Oh no.
Eddie fucked up.
With this whole Kas theory going about there's a serious lack of Vampire Eddie fics 😤

Okay. Okay. No, Hopper doesn't go back to being a cop. No. He wants to settle down a bit while also still looking after the kids. He becomes Hawkins High new basketball coach, partially to make sure those dumb jocks don't mess with the kids. He hires Steve as his assistant, and honestly, Steve finally learns what it's like to have a dad. Meanwhile, Joyce and Eddie are in the bleachers gossiping while also talking about how good their guys look. They're watching them both yell with their hands on their hips when Eddie and Joyce realize they sort of have the same taste in men.
