Stranger Things Series - Tumblr Posts
Okay, yeah, most Steddie au’s have Eddie being successful with his band and he meets Steve by some odd coincidence, or Steve is a successful movie star or something of that sort and meets Eddie because their both famous.
But what if Eddie was, ya know, moderately popular with Corodded Coffin n’ all, but not too famous and then Steve is the one who is < famous than Eddie.
I was thinking Steve would be like a wrestler or something because he was tired of losing fights and the only reason Eddie gets SUPER popular is because by the aforementioned coincidence:
Eddie sees Steve on TV which leads to Eddie finding Steve hot (not at all interested in the wrestling aspect) which leads to Eddie getting a chance to actually go to a wrestling match and see the infamous “Steve Harrington” in person which leads to Steve & Eds meeting sometime after
And the rest is in Tumblrs hands.
I wanna see you gremlins make a full blown au out of this.
GO GREMLINS! FOR THE SAKE OF STEDDIE!
(TW: A little cursing, not like people on tumblr aren’t used to that, just a fair warning)
Head canon: Eddie complains about the girls taking so long to get ready for events n stuff but he’s the exact fucking same.
If Robin & Nancy invite Eddie to go somewhere with them and Steve isn’t involved, Eddie will throw on a shirt and some jeans then he’s out the door.
If Steve’s going, Eddie has to look his BEST, he’ll do his hair, he’ll throw on a bit of eyeliner or mascara or both if Steve’s gonna get lucky that night, he’ll meticulously pick an outfit and make sure it has no stains or regrets on it.
And oh boy have the girls noticed, even Max and Erica know.
It’s not like if Steve is planning to arrive to a dnd meetup, Eddie will get prepped, no. Dnd is one of those things where Eddie will be prepared for the table to flip or dice to be thrown like a dart.
But any other casual meetup with Steve, Eddie will be dressed in his FINEST. And yet he will never dare wear a suit in his entire life.

Since y’all eat up steddie/stranger things stuff, here’s a demogorgon for christ’s sake
The steddie fans are so deprived that they grasp onto any fic, drawing, gif, anything, no matter how bad or outlandish it is, with their full body
AND I AM ONE OF THEM
#STEDDIE HERE I COME
I MADE THAT HEHE
Nah cuz, why can I imagine a fic where like Hawkins high school has a prom, you know?
But like it’s when Eddie & Steve are in high school at the same time
And Eddie has no one to go with, so he ends up going alone just for shits and giggles and to see what it’s like, and then he ends up meeting the infamous Steve “the hair” Harrington who got ditched by his date and he sits next to Eddie on the floor because he’s sad
And Eddie’s like, “What’s up with you?”
And Steve is like, “My date left me.”
And Eddie’s like, “Well I came alone if that makes you feel better.”
And Steve just looks at him, in a moment of desperation like, “Would you like to dance with me?”
And that’s how they end up slow dancing with each other to “Careless Whisper” by George Micheal
And they totally kiss at that one part that goes “Tonight the music seems so loud, I wish that we could lose this crowd..”
Nobody would notice ofc, but I’m just saying, Steve is definitely questioning his sexuality afterwards and looks at Eddie in a whole new light
(Yo if any of you make this a fic, tag me pls)
Eddie: My spidey senses are tingling
Steve: Eddie, stop saying that everytime you have a boner
Eddie: Aw man 😔
Mom, I’m famous bc of gay men from a show about Russians, teenagers playing dnd, gay confusion, demons from another dimension, and monsters.
(And great lighting)
Dustin: Stop staring at my mom’s ass. (Referring to Steve)
Eddie: Nuh-uh
Dustin: Yuh-huh
Eddie: Nuh-uh
Dustin: Yuh-huh
Eddie: NUH-UHHH
Dustin: YUH-HUUUUH
(This continues for another half hour)
Robin: What in the world are those two doing?
Steve: It’s called the “Agree to disagree game” where they keep saying “Nuh-uh” and “Yuh-huh” until either one of them gives up or someone stops them.
Robin: And you don’t stop them because why?
Steve: It’s funny.
DAWG

YA’LL NEED TO CALM DOWN
IK YA’LL NEED STEDDIE, BUT DAAAAAAAMMMNNN
OKAY
Okay
More steddie, I get it, I’ll try
Steve, sInging: 🎶 LOVE ME, LOVE ME, SAYY THAT YOU LOVE ME! FOOL ME FOOL ME, GO ON AND FOOL ME! 🎶
Robin & Eddie listening:
Robin: You think this is about you?
Eddie: Nah, I’d never fool him just bc of some one sided love.
Robin: So you’d actually love him…?
Eddie: I—
So, we all have the same head-canon that when Eddie becomes a rockstar, he writes love ballads (which are anonymous) to his long lost love Steve; who doesn’t know that the songs are about him, but still enjoys them anyways because they’re by his old bestie from Indiana?
Three words.
Eddie can fight.
But,
He chooses to be a pacifist.
Unless,
It’s someone he hates.
(This may or may not be a hint to something I’m working onnnnn hehe)
(I might not finish it tho, my undiagnosed ADHD ass gets distracted so much 😭)
As Taylor swift once said, “You should think about the consequence of you touching my hand in the darkened room.”
Hawkins High had a procedure for when the lights went out. The procedure went like this: First, every teacher locked the doors, then they instructed every student to find a buddy to stand next to for the next however long the lights would be out for.
The principal usually shut the power off to the whole school after making an announcement that they would be doing the “Blackout drill.”
It was a mandatory routine, Steve had been doing it for a few years because they did it on the second day of a new school year. Every time, he’d either be next to a girl who would get a bit too touchy because for some reason they weren’t allowed to talk with the power off, or one of the basket ball boys. This time was different.
“Alllllrighty students, this is your principal speaking, we are about to preform the Blackout drill. If you are new here and do not know what it is, I shut the power off to the whole school and you have to sit there in the dark next to someone for 30 minutes, then school proceeds as normal when the power is back on.” The principal said from the intercom. A collective groan came from several students, including Steve. “Okay, you heard him. Everyone find a person to be next to. I really don’t care who unless you guys start getting handsy.” The teacher got up to lock the door.
Steve looked around for anyone to be next to, but this time the girls congregated amongst themselves and the basket ball boys had already found each other. So Steve walked to the back of the classroom to hopefully find someone. Everyone else had already found their friends. But then, Steve saw a fluffy haired boy nervously standing against a counter in the corner. Out of sight, out of mind.
Confidently, Steve went to stand next to him and as soon as he saw his face, he recognized him. “Eddie, right?” He asked. “Uh, yeah.” The boy fidgeted with his hands. “Cool. I’m Steve. Although, you’ve probably heard of me already, huh?” Steve crossed his arms as he leaned against the counter with Eddie. “Mhm. King Steve.” He mumbled. “Right.” Steve said quietly.
The awkward silence only grew between them as the power shut off. To be fair, no one said a word. But Steve could’ve sworn he felt Eddie shaking next to him; he wanted to say something, but everyone was instructed to stay quiet.
This was the longest 30 minutes of Steve’s life, it seemed to last forever and nothing of note had happened for a while since he felt Eddie shivering. Then out of nowhere, Eddie grabbed Steve’s hand; pulling it down from the counter. And that’s when he seemed to stop shaking.
Should I finish this?

Then out of nowhere, Eddie grabbed Steve’s hand; pulling it down from the counter. And that’s when he seemed to stop shaking. And Steve was pulled closer to Eddie; close enough that he could hear his hesitant breathing, slowing. Being this close to someone, Steve normally didn’t feel warm, but this time Steve felt really warm. A comforting warmth, a warmth like a hug, a warmth he hasn’t felt for years. It was nice for the time being.
Then, the lights blinded the both of them.
“Uhm, boys back there, I don’t wanna ruin the moment, but the lights aren’t off anymore.” The teacher called to the back. Steve gave the teacher an inquisitive look, until he realized there was a head on his shoulder. “Sorry ma’am.” Eddie said, his breathing getting faster as he lifted his head and removed his hand from Steve’s. All the while, Steve walked to his seat and stayed silent. No sarcastic quips or anything.
Later, when he was leaving school, Steve noticed Eddie walking all alone. He decided to run over to him, catching the boy off guard. “Sorry, uh, could I walk with you?” Steve asked. Eddie looked the other up and down, “Why would you wanna walk with me? Aren’t you supposed to be flirting with girls or something?” He inquired. “Why flirt with the ladies, when I can flirt with you?” Steve winked. This made Eddie’s face turn red, and he slowed his pace. “I mean…I guess??? I…ah…” Eddie stopped walking. “I’m joking!” Steve assured Eddie, “Unless… You did hold my hand earlier.” He added. “That was because I was anxious.” Eddie started walking again and Steve followed. “Okay. I don’t like men anyways.” Steve commented. Something about that made Eddie walk faster.
Eventually, Steve and Eddie parted ways. Going to their respective houses. Steve in the Harrington mansion, and Eddie in the Munson trailer.

Here’s a little snippet >:]
“When he arrived at school, Eddie saw a particular someone with neatly styled hair waiting for him. “Oh come on!” Eddie groaned. “
Eddie: hey Steve, could you do me a favor real quick?
Steve: sure!
Eddie: okay, just close your eyes
Steve: ok..? (Closes his eyes)
Eddie: don’t open ‘em
Steve: mhm
Eddie: thank you (tries to kiss Steve)
Steve: (opens his eyes)
Eddie: dude, what, I said close your eyes, oh my god!
Steve: ….
