đ taking the pie AND booking it. I truly have the Headcanon that Munson style for Wayne and Eddie is more about taking the pie than running away đ
When Eddie gets his wisdom teeth removed, Wayne already makes plans to toss him to Steve. It isn't because he doesn't want to take care of his boy, it's just because he knows Eddie's filter - however low it is - would practically be nonexistent and he'll hear things about Steve everyone in a ten mile radius would take damage over hearing.
So he takes Eddie to the appointment, nods at Steve when they see each other in the waiting lounge with a near delirious nephew, takes the apple pie the other man baked, and books it. Munson style.

Never Say Die
You are here | part two | part three | part four
I canât get this concept out of my head steve being a prisoner instead of hopper and coming back home.
Steve sat in the back of the car, unsure what to expect. Six months. Six months he hasnât seen his friends, who he considered to be his family if anything. He wished he could say that it had been six months since the last time he seen his parents but that would be a lie. Strange how he could place the date and times when he last seen his real family but yet he didnât know when he last seen his parents. It was a chilling thought. He doesnât remember being this nervous about seeing his parents for the first time in a long, long time.
Then again this was under different circumstances. Last time he seen Dustin, Robin and Erica it had looked like he had died. The last time he seen Hopper and Joyce, both of them had been trying to reach them from god knows where with their own personal Russian translator. Now, when he steps out of this car his new life will begin. One that was much different compared to before he âdiedâ.
He was stunned if anything. He doesnât know how he survived. He had thought the torture he had endured at star court, tied to a chair was bad. Little did he know, the Russians got very creative in their homeland. His body sometimes still aches from his time there. Though, heâs been through hell and back nothing was more scarier then seeing his family again. What if they were different, what if they didnât want him back? All questions that were bothering him. All questions that disappear the the second he he sees all of the kids gathered together in a drive way. Smiling and laughing as they all help the Byers unpack their boxes into a nicer home then what they had lived in before.
He smiles to himself. Heâs unsure if they were told he was coming. He stops the agent in front of him from stepping out. To break the moment he was watching. Lucas was laughing as he carefully holds one hand on the back of Maxâs back. Crutches under her armpits as she leans on on foot. Her other leg in a cast, along with one of her wrists. Both of them talking to each other in a way that told him they made it through the little dispute from six months ago. Off to the right of them, stepping out of the van carrying boxes was Jonathan. Handing them to Nancy, who was smiling brightly up at him. Mouth moving as she talked. Next to them, in a bean bag sat a boy with long silky hair. Obviously stoned off his ass as he wore a button down shirt eating pizza. Steve wanted to hear some of what they were saying, he pulls his window down just a smidge to catch Jonathan laughing.
âYou know, the pizza was supposed to motivate you helping us carry our stuff in.â Hes looking at the other with a smirk. Steve chuckles softly to himself before his eyes move over seeing Will sitting on the hood of a car. Talking to El, who seemed to have lost all process in her hair growth. Both of them huddled together and talking with serious expressions. Both of their faces cracking into smiles when Mike comes walking over to them. Thereâs something awkward going on there but it seemed like they were all friends.
The front door of the house opens further, and Steveâs heart stops. Breathing not in his dictionary anymore as he watches Robin Buckley walk out with flying hands. God it was so her, though what takes him by surprise was the fact she was wearing his letterman jacket. How the hell she got a hold of it was beyond him. Then again Dustin must have told her where the key of his house was hidden. Let her in and it warms his heart in a way that doesnât even make sense to know she wanted something that was his. Her hair is in a Bob and sheâs yelling at someone. That someone showing his presence, walking out behind her. Steveâs in a near heart attack and near tears when he sees Henderson walking out with a cap on. Hair styled in the way that he had showed him, a hat firmly placed on the top of his head. Mouth moving a mile per minute. Talking right back to Robin. Even from here Steve knew the kid was being obnoxious.
âCome on Robin. Itâs not that bad, right Eddie.â The boy turns. Looking for confirmation from Eddie the freak Munson. And Steve really shouldnât be that shocked that Dustin would find a friend in a drug dealer. If there was trouble in Hawkins, Henderson sure as hell would find it. Steveâs about to freak out, but stops when he sees the amused look on the metal heads face. His hair was much longer then what he remembered it being.
âSorry dude. Im with Robbie on this one.â Eddie moves a hand playfully moving the others head on his shoulders. None of them noticing the suspicious car on the other side of the street. Next came Joyce, whose hand was wrapped tightly in Hoppers. That was not a shock to see at all. Both of them laughing as they look around at the children. Like Steve had.
As expected, Hoppers eyes land on the car. His face going a bright red as he lets go of Joyceâs hand. Storming forward catching everyoneâs attention. Breaking the peace as he looks like heâs ready to kill someone. âGet the hell away from my property. Donât need the god damn government spying on my daughter. Last warning, next time Iâll -â his words die in his throat as Steve steps out of the car. Hoppers back blocking the view of everyone behind him.
Steve looks at him with a amused look, holding his side. Body still recovering from his stint in another country. âWow, nice welcoming home gift hopper.â He laughs. Coughing a little from the bruised rib. Though the bruised rib is nearly the least of his worries as Hopper pulls him into a bear hug.
âNever got a chance to thank you for saving Joyce and the kids. Considering the fact you fucking died.â Hopper gruffly rasps. âEveryoneâs going to freak you know.â He warns.
âI know.â Steve says softly. Stepping back with a tight smile.
âHopper whatâs going on?â Joyce is now walking over. Obviously warning the kids to go inside. All of them complaining and bickering as they do. Steve could hear them. Her face pulls into a shocked expression when she sees Steve. âOh my god.â She gasps as she moves nearly tackling him.
âWhat is it mom?â Jonathanâs voice is heard from the van.
âEveryone inside now.â Joyce yells. Helping hopper hide steve from everybody. They knew that the second they all seen him, the neighbors attention would be all over them. Something that they didnât need was for everyone talking about how a whole group of people started sobbing in the middle of the drive way. That and Steve Harrington was supposed to be dead. Word got around, that was all they would need.
When he hears the front door closing Joyce finally looks at him. Looks right through him actually. âOh god what did they do to you.â She sounded in pain as her hand cups his face. All of them still standing in the middle of the road. Only remembering where they were when a car tryâs coming through. Hopper quickly thinks as he pulls off his ugly Hawaiian shirt. Quickly tossing it over Steveâs head. Who starts to gag.
âOh my god you stink. I shared a cell with a guy who had stomach issues and you somehow stink more then our toilet.â He gags, being dragged up the driveway. Letting Joyceâs hand wrap around his as she moves him to what he assumes is the front door.
âShut up-â hopper rasps out.
âHoney, everyoneâs going to freak out. Are you ready for this?â Joyce sounded like she was crying herself. Hand shaking in his. Steve felt like his world was just beginning again. Rotating, revolving whatever the earth does. It was happening again for him.
âYeah.. yeah Iâm ready.â
Im thinking about doing a part two though Iâm unsure. If I did write more, it would be eventual Steddie. I donât know if I should though đ should I?
Stay will be here it's a long one
Steve has a very sensitive omega, he can experience drops very easily. His parents put him on suppressants because they thought that it would suppress the omega and that way Steve could live an easier life in school. Steve pretends to be a beta despite the fact he wanted to be out and proud as an omega. Omegas are still very rare and male omegas are unheard of.
In high school he meets Eddie and they become friends pretty quickly. Eddie is an alpha and loves his friends and is always roughhousing with them. Despite being an omega Steve isn't a dainty little thing, he loves to mess around and would put Gareth in headlocks whenever possible.
Longish story short Steve overheard Eddie and the others talking about a girl that presented as an omega and how emotional she was. They start talking about how this is why they'd never be with an omega. Eddie especially double downs on it saying how it's just betas for him.
Steve leaves and misses hearing how Eddie plans on courting Steve soon. Steve experiences a drop and fellow omega Robin notices the signs and helps him out. She doesn't act like a typical omega either and the two grow closer and bond over it together. Robin goes with Steve to the doctors where they discover he's experiencing rejection sickness.
Robin agrees with Steve's parents, once they're aware of everything, that Steve should be kept away from Eddie so he can heal.
Cue Eddie unaware as to why Steve is pulling away from him and the guys and growing closer to Robin Jonathan, Nancy and Barb.
I love some miscommunication, yes!!! Eddie is so oblivious and of course he doesnât care what Steveâs designation is, he just loves him!đ
Heâs not entirely sure what wakes him, something between instinct, experience, and the dreadful gut-feeling that something is very, very wrong. A voice in the back of his head calls it the telltale sound of nightmare, of fear, of a child that seeks protection. That same voice wants to call it the sound of fatherhood, but itâs shut away before it becomes too loud every time.
Either way, they wake him. The groaning of the bed springs, the creaking of the floor board just behind the door before it opens with a squeak. And then the sound, barely there, of slow steps, old wool scraping over polished wood and worn carpet.
They come to a stop six paces before the couch.
Hopper counts to five before he turns to look which one of the kids it is.
Steve. Of course. El doesnât come to him, not really. She goes to Steve if she canât sleep, knowing heâll be awake. The kid is always awake â and Hopper is almost glad for it, having heard his nightmares. For how quiet he is throughout the day, he sure doesnât hold back at night.
El mentioned something a few days ago about visiting him in there to make it quiet, but they havenât figured out how to do that yet. Steve mentioned something about sensory deprivation, but Hopper hasnât gotten around to finding out more without being suspicious.
Really, the silence of the night should have been a dead giveaway that Steve wasnât sleeping. Itâs the third night, as far as Hopper knows. Three nights without sleep is grounds to worry, sure; but then the things he worries about are countless, so really itâs just one thing among many.
Steve rarely comes to see him, though. It must be really bad then. They made a deal after Christmas.
You come to me. Next time you wanna run, you come to me, understand that? I wonât pick you off the floor half frozen to death again next time, kid, so you got a problem, you come to me, alright?
Steve had only shrugged, and Hopper had wanted to punch him, to pull him in and hold him for a while and then shake him and command him to just fucking talk. He had pulled him in, clapped his shoulder and ruffled his hair before sending him to go eat his dinner.
And now there he is, standing in the middle of the cabin that seems to get tinier by the day, wringing his hands in the dark.
âWhat is it?â Hopper grunts as he sits up, wincing at how rough his voice sounds. Way to go getting him to talk, idiot.
âUhâŚâ
Hopper waits, but Steve doesnât say anything more than that, and understanding dawns. The pit of dread grows, and Hopper sighs, leaning his head against the backrest of the couch.
âItâs Wednesday.â
Steve stares.
âWednesday, February twenty-second.â
Steve stares, and Hopper hates this.
âItâs Wednesday, February twenty-second, 1984.â
Steve stares, but he inhales now. He breathes. Heâs alive. Hopper wonders if he needs a reminder of that, too.
But then he nods, slowly, a little too long. Hopper doesnât know what to do. He hates this, he hates this, he hates this. The urge to punch something is strong; but at least this time he doesnât wanna punch the kid. He never actually wants to punch the kid.
âI donât know what to do,â Steve says then, and itâs a whisper into the cold night that damn near breaks Hopperâs cold, tiny heart in two.
Heâs struck by deja-vu. His daughter standing by his bed at night, her bunny clutched tightly to her chest, a sniffle interrupting the silence and waking him up. A nightmare woke her up, and the rain sounded scary, and she wanted to go back to sleep but she didnât know how.
âI donât know what to do, daddy.â
âCome here, thatâs what you do.â
âCome here,â Hopper says, lifting his blanket in an invitation, and he wonders if Steve even sees it in the darkness. If he even has his eyes open. If his vision isnât blurred with those silent tears heâs so good at hiding.
After a moment, silent steps approach him, and Hopper is surprised that he listened. The kid must really be tired, then. And scared. Shitless, probably.
But he comes. And he didnât run. And heâs not freezing to death outside in his pyjamas.
It feels like a win. A heartbreaking, angry little win that leaves Hopper with the urge to burn this whole world to the ground and rip reality to shreds. But still, somehow, a win.
i miss vhs tapes and cds i miss feeding my computers and tvs yummy treats. now theyre eating nothing. theyre being born without mouths
Vickie: So, Steve's your platonic soulmate? That's good, very good! I like him. . .I mean, not like that but yeah, he's a good platonic soulmate. He's great!
Robin: Thanks! He's got pockets!
Yep đ
Have you ever read so much fanfiction and consumed so much fanart that you genuinely forgot what canon is?
After many years, my âfirstâ Day on tumblr again.
Idk what it is but I just love omega! Steve with body worshipâŚ
â
All of his life Steve has been put on a pedestal; taught to primp and preen but he never really received it. Never any tender touches or words of encouragement.
Heâs the Harringtonâs prized pup, and when his first heat hits and word comes out that heâs an omega; Steve becomes that much more of a pawn for his parents to use to gain control.
Because of this, Steve acts out; of course he does. On nights his parents are away he will throw himself at anyone. He doesnât care how rough the touch is because it means he is being touched, being held, being close to someone for once.
He forms his pack and of course Robin and the kids are there. They love him and grow to be practically glued at the hip but itâs just never enough. Steve needs to be held down, trapped under the weight of an alpha for the night for his omega to soften to a gentle purr âHeld. Safe. Adoredâ even if he knows it isnât real, just something to help stave off the need eating him from the inside out.
Then comes the spring break from hell-
touched starved omega Steve, my belovedđĽ˛
Eddie: *to Robin and Steve* Who are these people you're gossiping about again?!
Robin: Oh, we don't actually gossip about real people.
Steve: Yeah, we learned that lesson the hard way.
Robin: So, now we make up people and their backgrounds. We gossip about them.
Eddie: I have been invested for over an hour over people who are NOT real?!
Steve and Robin: Yeah.
Eddie: *throwing up his hands* Either write a fucking book or join Hellfire!
Steve and Robin: *looks at each other before looking back at Eddie* Nah.
Eddie: *screams*
