🚨 NEW #steddie FIC ALERT 🚨

as usual, thank you @lobotomybraindead.bsky.social for beta reading another silly idea of mine ❤️

“Corroded Coffin LIVE! at The Hideout”, by dadpunsandmisery Summary: The Hideout. The heart of the Sunset Strip. LA’s very own sanctum of music and sin. Anyone who gives a single damn about rock ‘n roll has heard of the place. The bar is famous not only for the cheap booze and the rowdy crowd but for the legendary bands who started their journey performing on that very stage. Unfortunately, there’s nothing Steve can do to stop the inevitable: Corroded Coffin will be performing their last show ever at The Hideout tonight, and Eddie Munson will go off to pursue his solo career after it. Steve's job is simply to go in there and get an interview good enough to satisfy his bosses. If only that goddamn scent would just stop following him everywhere... Or: a Rock of Ages!Au starring Rockstar!Eddie and Reporter!Steve (but omegaverse!)

Anyways, here’s a little snippet from it for #wip Wednesday
The staff’s going around getting things ready for the evening. Some are cleaning, some are restocking the bar, and a few others are setting up the equipment for the show. He looks around and notices that most of the people working are young adults, wearing their wild haircuts and metal chains as a badge of honor. The t-shirts with the bar’s logo printed on them don’t even look like a uniform. Some of the employees cut them into muscle shirts or crop tops, and a few of them are now tie-dye instead of their original black. Every person has their own unique style and scent. No one is really wearing blockers or neutralizing colognes. It’s a completely different scene from the corporate world Steve’s so used to. /This place must be a sensorial nightmare on a crowded night./ He thinks to himself, praying that he survives through the day without getting a migraine.

NEW CHAPTER IS OUT NOW!!! 🎉🎉🎉

“Still I Cling”, by dadpunsandmisery Summary: Eddie has a problem. A big one. One that’s tormented him for almost a decade. He has yet to find a light at the end of the tunnel. He doesn’t know how to live a life where he can’t love Steve. Love ruined him, but it became a fundamental part of him too. It’s just another undeniable and inescapable truth of the Universe. Eddie Munson loves Steve Harrington. And Steve Harrington was getting married to someone else that day.

Next chapter of Still I Cling coming soon 👀
So here’s a little snippet from it for #wip Wednesday
Steve clenches his jaw, and Eddie sees a spark flicker behind his eyes. He closes his fists, and the wildfire burning inside Eddie's chest suddenly roars to life again. He's been itching for a fight ever since he first stepped into Lauren's house. /Come on, give it to me. Let me take a perfectly good thing and ruin it./

Wayne playing the guitar
That’s it, that’s the snippet :)

#wipwednesday
They stay quiet for a bit. Eddie takes his acoustic out of the case and passes it to Wayne, who starts mindlessly finger-picking the strings. It's a beautiful melody, one Eddie's sure he's making up on the spot. /In a different life, that man would've changed the course of music history./ Eddie thinks behind a smirk, shaking his head in disbelief.

I love them so much 🥺 #wipwednesday #eddiemunson #waynemunson
"It's been a while since you visited." Wayne grunts, stepping to the side and allowing his nephew to come in. Eddie shrugs. "The bus tickets aren't always that cheap." He takes the case carrying his acoustic guitar off his shoulder and gently leans it against the closest wall. "But I can just take my bike and-" "You ain't getting nowhere near a highway on that thing." Wayne scolds, walking to the kitchen with Eddie trailing right behind him. "Don't knock it till you try it, old man." Eddie teases. Wayne chuckles. "Who says I haven't?" He asks, grabbing some sandwich ingredients from a cabinet and putting them on the counter. "You? On a motorcycle?" Eddie gasps, stepping next to his uncle and giving him a hand with the food. "That's so metal." "Don't get too excited. It was long before you were born and I almost cracked my skull open." Wayne tuts as he puts some peanut butter on a slice of bread. Eddie smirks. "Nowadays we have this new device called a 'helmet'. Real life-saving technology." Wayne gives a playful smack to the back of Eddie's head. "Watch it, boy." He chastises, sounding too fond to be convincing.

Bad decisions are being made on this #wip Wednesday 👀
He smiles, all teeth and no mirth, putting one hand on the wall in front of him and leaning closer. John's eyes darken — or was it James? He tilts his head and looks up at Eddie like he enjoys the feeling of being towered over. Of being caged in, cornered, and helpless. James (Josh? Jay? Jay sounds right.) is short, skinny, and definitely a brat. Not Eddie's usual type, but he's feeling far from his usual self right now. He feels reckless and enraged. He feels like starting a fight, breaking some dishes, making a mess. He wants to carve his teeth deep into something soft until it bleeds. To find something pretty, and good, and make it hurt. Jay's not 'good', Eddie can already tell. He has a sharp tongue, and he's done nothing but shit talk other people this entire conversation. He's mean, and not in a fun way. But he is pretty, and he's looking at Eddie like he doesn't expect Eddie to be good either.

Happy #wip Wednesday everybody! #steddie
Brain hasn’t been helping me write much this month, but at least I have a new snippet to share :3
Eddie and Gareth arrived together earlier in the day. Gareth stayed around the backstage helping the band and the crew with anything he could before Eddie had to kick him out of there, teasingly telling his 'short-ass' to just go get a good place in the front before all the tall guys got there first. /It's all good, he must've found either Gareth or the girls somewhere in the crowd at this point. Robin has some extra ear muffles with her, so he's gonna be fine./ Robin and Sam got there an hour before the doors opened, Eddie was able to meet them outside for a few minutes before he had to go back. They were wearing Eddie and Gareth's old Hellfire shirts and seemed really excited. /He's a busy guy, he probably couldn't get here earlier, you know? It's fine, he's fine, it's all-/ "Eddie, it's time."

Happy #wip Wednesday everybody!
Here’s a little snippet from the omegaverse au I’m working on since the beginning of the year :3
Steve’s truly, truly losing his goddamn mind. He blinks and suddenly the bandana is right there in his hands. He doesn’t remember standing up and retrieving it from that one drawer. He’ll plead insanity for the rest of his life as the excuse to why he brings the soft cotton closer and buries his face in it.   He purrs when the scent hits his nostrils, a smell of wilderness and untamed things. Rebellion, passion, revolution and all the unstoppable forces that make the world go round. It feels like the ground disappears from under Steve’s feet, a free fall without the fear of crashing down. He rolls around in his nest with the bandana pressed against his nose and it feels right.

So, here’s a Steve-centric one shot for those of you who are in the mood for some angst today :3
(this is the fic based on the shitty rl event that happened to me a month ago)
“An ode to the whole that I found myself stuck in”, by dadpunsandmisery Summary: Polaroids. That’s what’s in the envelope that really catches his attention. A couple dozen Polaroids of him. Of him, and Eddie. He puts the photos down. He feels dirty, wrong, violated. He feels like someone just cut him open and spilled his guts all over the dinner table. He’s shaking, his blood’s running cold. He’s at the hospital again, watching Eddie’s heart monitor and praying for every god out there to just let him live. “Please, you can do whatever you want to me. Just let him live.” Maybe this was it, the price for Eddie’s survival. The gods were finally coming to collect Steve’s debt.

I mean… COME ON!!!!!!
But none of us are out here on our own So we were cowards, so we were liars So we’re not heroes, we’re still survivors The dreamers, the fighters, no lying, I’m tired We broke into a million pieces, and we can’t go back But now we’re seeing all the beauty in the broken glass The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like (ah)
