What if Billy took Steve, instead of Heather...?
++ season 3 canon-divergent AU | harringrove-centric | roots back in s2, starts in s3e2, and yeah, it's definitely all downhill from here ++
Steve doesn't really know how to explain how he, his 17-year-old Scoops coworker, and the like ninety middleschoolers that stalk him have all ended up trying to basically exorcise Steve's not-boyfriend at midnight in the pouring rain in his mom's brand new jacuzzi, but here they are.
CONTENT WARNINGS:
The overall content level of this fic is pretty canon-typical of s3/s4 (but gayer. And with a lot more of the word fuck. like a lot. yikes.)
Potentially spoiler-y content warnings below. Peruse as needed & take care of yourself!
Adult language, non-graphic consensual sex (often while both are intoxicated) implied, referenced, and otherwise. General dark and violent imagery in places.
Mention of past child abuse (thanks, Neil Hargrove's A+ Parenting). Drinking (maybe... less underage drinking than in the show, actually??), smoking (legal and less so), and general non-role-model behavior is on display, so I would maybe recommend taking... oh, zero guidance from this fic?? They're pretty dumb, Do Not Recommend, et cetera. (Feel free to ask me if you have a specific concern.)
Steve Harrington x Eddie Munson!!!
This fic is based off of Stranger Things but it doesn't follow the storyline of the show! It has different concepts and different plans to how things go. Some things are the same, some things are different. Everyone is the ages that they are in Season Four, for clarity.
Here's a preview :)
"Can I?" Steve asked, he didn't want to invade Eddie's personal space or make him uncomfortable like Dustin did earlier. To Steve's surprise, Eddie nodded. That was all it took for Steve to wrap his arms around Eddie's waist and hold him. For some reason, some really fucking strange reason, Eddie had sparks in his heart.
If you read this, I hope you enjoy!
