My lil winter exchange for @hotluncheddie ! Hope you like it!💖💖🥳

@steddieexchange

I think a lot of what makes fanfiction so magical is writers taking the time to explore tiny elements that were imagined into existence in the source material and then abandoned. It's the deep dive into that t-shirt, the forgotten gift, the nickname, the spare key, the anger they swallowed down, the trauma they supressed, the love they denied, the story that wasn't mainstream enough to make it. It's the little things getting their moment to shine and I fucking love that and I will fight for it always.

one of my favorite parts of fandom

↳ Keep reading below for a sneak peek!

Steve tries to stay quiet while he gets ready for work, but Eddie hears him. He keeps his eyes closed and just listens- to Steve grumbling to himself when his hair doesn’t sit quite right, who starts to hum and whisper some catchy song. Eddie turns his sleepy gaze onto Steve as he shuffles around their room- watching quietly as he slips on his clothes, his shoes, a simple chain with Eddie’s ring around his neck. A warm, affectionate smile breaks across his face. Before he leaves, Steve glances at what he expects to be a sleeping Eddie, but instead, he’s met with a rasped, ‘Hey.’ Eddie sits himself up, stretches his arm across Steve’s side of the bed, and reaches, fingers wiggling. Steve crosses the room to cradle his face.

Their foreheads press, noses bump, and Steve brushes his fingers across scars and dimples.

He breathes a quiet,

‘Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you.’

Eddie huffs a tired laugh,

‘You know I never mind.’

Because, yeah.

Every morning Steve tries to stay quiet while he gets ready for work, but Eddie always hears him.

domestic steddie my beloved 🥹

"A world without trans people has never existed and never will"

Poster spotted in Olympia, WA

Eddie posts a Tiktok from the driver’s seat of his car. It starts with him pulling his mask down to reveal an amused smile and he says, “Shout out to the twenty-something year old girls that defended my husband from harassment at the supermarket today.”

Eddie: That’s great and really brave of you, and I appreciate it, but uh. But it was - I was the person harassing him.

Eddie: I know this sounds bad - I can already hear my PR manager yelling at me - but trust me. He likes it. He looks like he doesn’t but he does.

Eddie: I’ve been bothering him at stores since he worked in a video rental. He likes it.

Eddie: It looks like harassment to you but to him….

Eddie: It’s foreplay.

au where dustin finds a way to bring Eddie back and kas!Eddie claws himself out of his grave and is all monstrous and fucked up, all sharp teeth and wings and claws, eyes glowing demonic red, snarling and spitting--

And then he hacks up a clump of grave dirt and goes "jeeeeeesus CHRIST it took you fuckers long enough! What the fuck!" And he's completely himself just a demon vampire being

bitchy Kas is so special to me

Fancied drawing a cute soft pic where they are all tired out. Did they mean to crash out like that? What will Steve think of his leg hugging tendencies? Or will Eddie blush and mumble to find Steve sleeping practically between his legs?

Almost didn't share this as I wasn't very happy with the faces. But in the end I thought it's not so bad.

bitchy brothers forever

the best present

for @steddiemicrofic December challenge pine

Ever since he was a young pup, Steve had a fascination with Christmas.

The joyful sound of carols being sung, the delicious treats that melted in his mouth, the bright and colorful lights strung all over the place, but especially… the smells.

Spicy cinnamon sprinkled on top of hot cider in a mug placed into his cold hands. Freshly baked sugar cookies just taken out of the oven by his mother. Most of all, the calming scent of a recently cut pine tree, chopped down and decorated as a family to be displayed proudly in the Harrington’s living room.

It’s been years now since Steve’s parents came home for the holidays, but still that specific scent stays firmly in his memories like an old baby blanket that he can’t quite bring himself to dispose of.

Pine smells of home and love and being wanted.

He misses it.

Not in the way one typically misses their parents (knowing you’ll see them again soon enough, but still wanting to hear their voice and hug them tightly). Rather, in the way a person flips through a photo album to reminisce over days long past. Aware that they’re done and gone. Wishing for just another glimpse, another chance.

But Steve knows they aren’t coming home again.

And he’s lonely. Lonelier than any omega ought to be.

When he’d matured and presented as such, it finally made sense: why his dad couldn’t love him, why his mom didn’t know what to do with him…

Why he now actively avoids the smell of anything pine around Christmas time, in the hopes that it might not punch him in the gut every single time.

Truthfully, he hates Christmas now.

“Your total will be $7.99, sir.”

He tosses a ten out of his wallet and grabs the box of cookies from the counter, eager to escape the bakery. The sooner he gets to the Christmas party, the sooner he can leave and spend the rest of his Christmas Eve at home by himself, as usual.

Steve turns the corner hastily as he leaves the bakery and practically bumps into someone, almost dropping his full box as he steps back on the sidewalk in order to avoid collision.

He nearly topples backwards, but something stops his fall.

The stranger in front of him immediately apologizes, still grabbing at Steve’s shoulders to steady him.

“Oh god, I’m so sorry! I really should’ve been looking where I was going and I could’ve hurt-”

He stops speaking abruptly and Steve finally looks up from the treats he managed to save, curious as to what could’ve possibly interrupted the apology.

They lock eyes and then the sudden warmth that blooms in Steve’s chest leaves no room for question as to who this alpha is to him.

Smelling distinctly of fresh pine and just smiling softly at Steve, one of the alpha’s hands slides up to gently cup his face instead.

“I’m Eddie and… you are the best present I could’ve asked for this year, sweetheart.”

This man is his fated soulmate.

Christmas Steddie Christmas Steddie Christmas Ste-

You can take a break from your fic and write notes for another fic

But watch out!!

Oh god you didn’t watch out did you, you started another fic?

every single time

Everybody || Backstreet Boys

Just occurred to me that some of you may have never seen this music video. They had absolutely no reason to make it the way it is but damn they went hard.

One of the backstreet boys in 1997 : no I’m TELLING you, monster fuckers are the future.

I used to dance and watch this all the time back when I was eight. Now I understand a lot of stuff.
