Thank you @thebeatlesqueenisbythepolice and everyone who got me to 10 reblogs!
So I started writing something, but i don't trust myself to finish it, so i'll just ramble about it and hope people think it's decent!
My current hyperfixation is stranger things, and here's my thought: there is no way the upside down would have given the gang a whole year of peace when the gate was still open. In this au I've got floating around in my brain, I imagine that maybe it was a couple months before the tunnels started spreading, before the demodogs started spawning. I also imagine that my fave character, the main one in this au, ended things with Nancy early on, because he could see that she wasn't happy with him and he wanted to avoid an emotional trainwreck.
Because Steve wasn't spending as much time with Nancy, when he noticed that things with the upside down weren't over, he was able to take it on himself without her figuring it out. Cause Steve figures that the wheelers, the byers, heck, everyone involved from last time shouldn't have to deal with any more of this shit.
So what he did was, he started going to the old junkyard, baiting out the demodogs, and killing as many as he could with his nail bat and burning the corpses when he was done for the night.
As this was going on, he started looking out for Will, treating him normally and being there for him, because will deserves to have Steve as an extra older brother. It's not necessary to this au, but I will die on that hill.
Anyway, Steve's been doing this since around January of '84, so he's become pretty good at it. Then, that Halloween, instead of going to Tina's party, he was out there, killing monsters, but he got cut. Obviously, billy hargrove's rough-housing in basketball the next day didn't do him any favors. He ends up having to take a minute to go into the locker rooms to stitch himself up really quickly, because of course he's figured out how to do that by now. Then, billy walks in on him doing that, and promptly freaks out. Steve swears him to secrecy, because in his mind, it's fine, it's normal. He finished up basketball practice, and put the encounter out of his mind.
Later, Steve was back out there, and he had just killed the first demodog, when he heard this aborted, human-sounding, shriek. He goes to investigate, and who does he see, but billy Hargrove and eddie munson in the bus doing a deal.
Steve tried to give them an out, but of course the demodogs were swarming, so he had to deal with that threat and keep these guys safe, because Steve didn't think they should have to deal with this. They don't take the out. In fact, eddie and billy help Steve out through the events of s2.
Also, in terms of the thing with Lucas, I imagine that since Billy'd been fine with the black kids on the basketball team, Steve was able to pry out of him that he's trying to protect Lucas and max from ne*l.
Anyhow, that's the premise of this au that I've got. Like I said, I have started writing for it, but I don't trust myself to finish it or update it regularly. If anyone is interested in adopting this concept and writing their own take on it, feel free to dm me. Heck, you don't even have to do that, but I'd appreciate a dm, just so that I could read it!
Trying to get these boys to a Kabedon (wall slam)!
In honour of the 1 Week Left benchmark of 《Our Eternity: Jayvik Journal Zine》's Interest Check and Mod Applications being open, we present you all with a proposition 😼
(psst. Interest Check and Mod Apps here 👀)
Summary:
Since their first embrace on their reunion, Finn has never been able to forget the warmth of Poe's arms.
Notes:
This ship has always had something of the Holy Grail for me, so this is my first fanfic about them, bear with me, I'm still figuring out their personalities a bit. I hope I did them justice.

As he sees an X-Wing land on the busy runway, Finn starts to run. He stops as the canopy opens and a pilot with a familiar silhouette comes down. The helmet prevented him from recognizing him, and Finn stood there watching until he was jostled by BB-8, who pushed past him and rolled toward the pilot at full speed.
The pilot took off his helmet and Finn's heart began to beat faster.
It was Poe!
Poe rushed towards BB-8 and suddenly looked up and saw Finn.
He looked as stunned as Finn who had started running again and exclaimed, "Poe, Poe Dameron!"
They ran toward each other and embraced.
"You're alive!"
"So are you!"
"What happened to you?"
They interrupted each other, questions rushing in with the joy of reunion.
Then Poe moved back, too quickly for Finn's taste and asked, "What happened? I was thrown from the crash, I woke up at night, no you, no ship, nothing."
Poe looked over at BB-8 who beeped something then turned to Finn.
"BB-8 says you saved him."
Finn shook his head, "No, no, no. It wasn't just me."
Poe put his hand on Finn's shoulder and said with a big, genuine smile, "You completed my mission, Finn." then paused, looking puzzled, "That's my jacket?"
Finn, embarrassed, hurried to take it off, but Poe stopped him, "No, no, no. Keep it. It suits you." then he added in a softened tone, "You're a good man, Finn."
And those words were as comforting as the embrace of their reunion.
Thinking of that day, Finn instinctively pulled Poe's jacket tighter around him. Ever since that day, it had been like an extension of Poe's arms around him. The memory of the day Poe had told him he was a good man.
The way Poe had looked at him, the words he had spoken, had been like an extension of that hug, leaving a warmth in Finn that he craved after.
This kind of touch was foreign to him and he had not expected the multitude of sensations that had overwhelmed him after.
And especially not this warmth.
There had been others hugs after the first one.
Comrade hugs.
Co-general's hugs.
Friends' hugs.
Lovers' hugs.
From then on, hugs had taken on a different meaning for Finn, who also knew that no other hugs would be as important as the ones Poe offered him without restriction.
Nothing was better for Finn than Poe's arms wrapped around him, locking him in an enclosed space filled with warmth.
Probably one of the safest places in the world for Finn.
No matter the time, no matter the place, and no matter the way, the embrace of Poe's arms had the power to stop the world for Finn. Just like that day in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the rebel base.
From the moment Poe had embraced him, it had been just him and Poe, Poe and him.
And the time which passed had not changed anything there.
The sensations were always the same, even stronger, because they were nourished by the love which they shared from now on.
There wasn't a night when he didn't fall asleep or wake up in his lover's warm, loving embrace.
Before Poe, Finn never stayed in bed longer than the time he needed to rest. It was a habit ingrained in his training as a Storm Trooper from an early age.
A habit that had persisted long after he had deserted.
But Poe had changed everything, even his nights.
Because now Finn had a reason to let his nights linger.
Because of the man who shared them and who was currently watching him walk out of the bathroom on their bed wearing only a pair of boxer shorts, his hair wet from the shower he had just had. Poe, who looked at him with so much warmth in his eyes.
They gazed at each other for a few seconds in silence and then, as always, Poe straightened up a little and lifted the comforter, a sign for Finn to join him.
Finn slipped under it and pressed himself against Poe, the fear of being too clingy long gone because Finn knew that Poe loved to hug as much as Finn loved to receive hugs.
Reciprocity and complementarity.
Poe closed his arms around Finn and gently kissed the back of his neck as Finn let out a contented sigh and then whispered, "I'm home."
Poe must have heard him because he tightened his arms around him and replied, "Welcome home."
After a moment of silence, Finn murmured softly, "Poe."
"Hmm?"
"I love you."
Poe made Finn turn in his arms and Finn could see the same smile on his face from the day he told him he was a good man as he replied, "I don't know the reason for that spontaneous declaration, but you know I love you too."
Finn pressed a kiss to his chest and replied, "I don't need any particular reason, I just wanted to say it," then he buried his face in Poe's neck breathing in that oh-so-familiar, comforting scent.
Then Finn put his arms around Poe's waist and held him just as tight. Just like in their first embrace.
Poe reached out his hand to turn off the light.
Finn could finally let go, safe in Poe's arms, surrounded by his warmth.
A warmth that told him, "You're home."
A warmth that told him, "You're safe."
A warmth that told him, "You're not alone anymore."
A warmth that told him, "I love you."

I don't want this to get lost in the abyss that is my likes folder, so here you go.
Since this is apparently getting more traction than I had anticipated…
Hi! I’m Day, I’m here for writing because that what I’m mostly good at? Thus far punkflower seems to be my most well-liked thing that I’ve been writing so far so that’s what I’ll focus on with this blog for now. This is technically a sideblog, but I want you guys to know that even if I can’t reply to comments you leave me, I love and cherish them regardless!
I don’t have much written yet for this blog, but you guys all are so encouraging it’s likely I’ll end up writing more. Please bear with me as I add more!
(Also, if people are interested, I was thinking of doing a tag list for fics, like maybe a permanent one of like 20-25 or so? Let me know, I guess!)

Hey there! Just wondering if you're familiar with Disney's The Princess and the Frog, and if so, if Dr. Facilier sounds... Familiar? 😁
"I've heard o' it yeah. Isn't that the voodoo guy?"
Alright, I've finally got an idea to tell you guys about! Sorry it's been a while since I've posted anything original. Anywho, here it is.
Okay, so. I like to imagine Steve speedrunning his character development after season one ends. It starts with him realizing that he isn't what Nancy needs in a relationship. He says to her, "Look, just give Jonathan a bit more time, ok? I can tell that you'll be happier with him than with me."
So that happens. Then, Steve realizes two things:
Steve Harrington wants to help people.
Steve Harrington wants to be nothing like his father.
So the first thing he does is start applying himself to his studies as best he can. I personally headcanon that Steve is dyslexic, maybe with ADHD, and very much a kinesthetic learner. It takes special tutoring from Nancy and Jonathan-the unexpected honors student-for Steve to find a way of studying that works for him.
The next thing Steve does is decide to get a job so that he can move out of his parents' house as soon as he turns eighteen. He starts looking for jobs, and decides that he'll work at least two: one that's purely for getting paid, and the other for helping people.
Course, after the fight with Jonathan, Steve was well aware that he was absolute shit in a fight. So being a cop was out of the question. An EMP was a possibility, but Steve, while not necessarily squeamish, has a hard time getting things out of his head. If he saw a particularly gruesome injury in the field, he'd have nightmares for weeks.
Eventually, Steve decides to go for firefighting. It just feels right for him. His coaches are listed as references on his application, and he applies at the Hawkins Fire Department, as well as Melvald's and Family Video. Melvald's is the second job that sticks. And by some miracle, he manages to get a job at the fire department. So that entire year between st1 and st2, Steve is working his ass off, both to help people and to get out of his parents' house.
He manages to get enough money to move out right after his 18th birthday, April 29, 1984. He's been working himself half to death between work, school, and the sports that are still fun, and it's definitely not healthy, but he's helping people while being nothing like his father, so it's fine. Of course, he really couldn't care less when Billy Hargrove rolls into town, and he maintains a vague awareness of Eddie Munson because the kids play d&d (yeah, this is a harringroveson au as well, cause I just can't help myself).
Anywho, I'm going to leave it there, cause I'm not sure how to tie this au into st2. If anyone else has any ideas, feel free to reblog this with a continuation! Comments and likes give me great happiness!
Hey, folks! Sorry it's been so long, but I've got a question for the masses!
I'm in search of a nice long kidfic about Wayne Munson raising Eddie. If there's anything on AO3, or here on Tumblr, please let me know! I'm craving parental!Wayne Munson content right now! Thanks!
Is the Millennium Falcon a circular ship or a cylindrical ship? Please discuss and reblog.
20, she/her, USA Hey, everyone! I don't have anyone to talk to in real life about my hyperfixation, so now it's your problem! Asks and dms are open!
