This is a sideblog of @griefabyss, I figured I could put fandom related things here because I don't put original posts on the main blog (I use it to reblog art I like), and don't want to limit posting to just ao3. I'm happy to make friends on here!
Please note that a lot of my reblogs are from my queue and I don't tag about it, so if I seem active but I'm not replying to a message that'd be why!
GriefAbyss on ao3 - My writing tag - My art tag
I'd say the majority of my writing and art are NSFW, so proceed accordingly, thanks!

'THREE' wc: 333 | rated: T | cw: N/A | Tags: Pre-Relationship, Chest Hair, Nipples, Lust, Inspection, but not in the BDSM or medical way, Eddie's not a doctor anyway he doesn't know if he's right
Steve needs Eddie's opinion to settle an argument.
βOh my God Steve,β Robin sighs. A years long exasperation permeates the air. βItβs not, youβre normal.β
Steve crosses his arms over his bare, hairy chestβEddie forgets to listen as his tits get squished. Heβs been with enough men to have preferencesβunfortunately Steve tends to embody them all.
βIt is! And itβs weird enough,β he argues, letting his arms drop. Heβs too busy to notice that Eddieβs two seconds away from howling like a dog. βYouβve never even looked.β
βYeah wellββ Robin says, rolling her eyes. βExcuse me. I donβt want to get all personal with yourβyour nudity!β
Eddie bites at the insides of his cheeks. Their arguments are usually pretty entertainingβthis oneβs the best, because Steve took off his shirt to prove a point that Eddie canβt see.
βThen you donβt have a leg to stand on,β Steve says, like itβs final. βEddieββ
Eddieβs head whips up from where he was squinting.
βSettle this,β he says, coming closer. Steve gestures at his chest like his tits are vowels on The Wheel of FortuneβEddie desperately tries to conceal that he feels like a crazy horndog.
βOkay?β he asks, pulling up years of DMing experience to keep his composure; Steveβs tits are a hidden enemy, or a boon the party has to discover on their own.
βHow many nipples do I have?β Steve asks. Eddie opens his mouth to say clearly thereβs two, butβ
This warrants scrutiny. He leans in closerβSteve smells good, like always. He looks whole and healthy and strongβEddieβs mouth literally waters as Steve helpfully points to what could be a mole.
Eddie considers it, trying for objectivity.
βCould be a nipple, could be a freckle. Lemme test it,β he says, holding up his fingers. Steve doesnβt stop him, so he lightly pinches one of his regular nipples and gets fully hard when Steve sucks in a quiet gasp. He quickly moves onto the third one, lightly pinching that too. βFeel anything?β
βFeels normal,β he frowns, disappointed. βI donβt have three?β
Jeff hates this job so much. He really hates that heβs the youngest person working here and Keith seems to think that means he can do all the heavy lifting.
He owed Jeffβs dad a favor after he approved a business loan at the bank for him when he probably shouldnβt have. So, Jeff has a minimum wage job while all his friends are enjoying summer vacation. Heβs thrilled.
Though heβs pretty glad the job at Scoops Ahoy didnβt work out. He wouldnβt have wanted to be at the mall when that fire happened.
βNeed you to train the newbies tomorrow,β Keith says as he locks up for the night. βThe girl will be fine, the guy is like her lost puppy. Donβt know why she bothers with him. Heβs an idiot.β
Right, the new people start tomorrow.
βAnyone I might know?β Jeff asks as he looks around for his momβs car. Sheβs late again, but he doesnβt mind too much. He could use some fresh air while he waits for her to get here.
βSteve Harrington and Robin something or other. Sheβs your age, so I guess youβre probably in classes together,β Keith hands him the key. βYouβre opening and I forgot the spare. Feel free to fire Harrington if heβs too stupid to figure out how to press rewind.β
Jeffβs pretty sure even Steve can figure that out, but he doesnβt care to argue with Keith. Not when he can see the headlights of his momβs car turning into the parking lot.
β
βAnd thatβs really it. Any questions?β
Robin shakes her head. Steve shakes his head. Jeff thinks itβs a bit weird that Steve even needs a job, but maybe he just needs to kill some time now that heβs graduated.
Thereβs been rumors that his parents cut him off when he finished school and didnβt have plans to go to college, but Jeff doesnβt think itβs true. Or at least not completely.
A part of him wonders if Gareth started it just to see if it would get anywhere. He likes to do stupid shit out of boredom.
βIβm going on my lunch. Let me know if you need me.β
He hides in the office and hopes they donβt need him. Tuesdays are pretty slow, so heβd be surprised if they had more than one or two customers.
He calls Eddie to make sure theyβre still on for band practice tomorrow in his garage. He calls his mom to remind her heβs off at six tonight and needs a ride. And then he manages to eat the sandwich he brought from home before thereβs a knock on the door.
Robin steps in with an awkward wave and smile.
βEverything okay?β Jeff asks around a mouthful of food.
βI may have accidentally checked out some movies.β
βOh. No big deal. Iβll show you how to fix it in a few minutes,β Jeff smiles at her reassuringly. βItβs easy.β
βUh. Well.β Robin bounces on her feet. βI may have accidentallyβ¦checked outΒ allΒ of the movies.β
βLike all of the ones that were on the cart? Thatβs okay. Accidents happen.β
βShe checked out all of the movies in the store,β Steve says as he steps in, hands settling on his hips. βI donβt know how.β
βIβ¦didnβt know that was possible,β Jeff admits as he sets the last few bites of his sandwich back in the baggie and stands up. βAre you sure thatβs what happened?β
βYep. I tried to start checking them back in, but thereβs an error,β Steve explains. He nudges Robinβs arm, letting it rest there for a moment. Jeff notices but doesnβt say anything. βIβll fix it if you can show me how.β
Jeff shakes his head. βI donβt think this has ever happened. We might have to callββ
βNo!β They both yell. Jeff raises a brow. βPlease. Iβm sure we can figure it out together,β Robin continues. Steve nods along next to her.
He sighs and gestures for them to go back to the counter.
The fix is actually pretty simple once he gets eyes on it. Heβs kind of a computer nerd. Keith probably keeps him around for that more than the favor he owed his dad at this point. But itΒ willΒ take a few hours because they have to go by genre and count inventory on the shelves to make sure they donβt accidentally check something in thatβs still with a customer. He leaves them to it while he handles actual customers coming in.
By the end of his shift, theyβre done and everything is back to normal. Keith arrives to close and they silently agree not to speak of it at all.
The truth is, even with the problem, and expecting the worst, he had the most fun heβs ever had while working alongside Steve and Robin. Theyβre funny, even when they donβt mean to be. Theyβre nice, even though Jeff always thought Steve had a massive attitude in high school. That seems to have cleared itself up. Theyβre also very entertaining as a pair. He accidentally called them a couple earlier and got the dirtiest look from Robin and a very stern βno way, dudeβ from Steve.
So he hopes they stick around at Family Video for a while. He probably wonβt get to work with them every day since they really only need two people on at a time, but he hopes he will sometimes. They definitely made today go by faster, and thatβs all he can hope for all summer.
Prompt #6 - Family Video | Word Count: 1000 | Rating: T | CW: Recreational Drug Use | POV: Steve | Pairing: Steve & Corroded Coffin, Steddie (If You Squint) | Tags: Pre & Post S4, Family Video, Time Jump, Steve & Eddie Strike a Deal, Open Ending
January 1986
"No, no, no. No way. You already have twenty-two dollars in fees," Steve says, snatching the tape away from Eddie Munson.
"C'mon, man. What's it to you? Is it coming out of your pocket? Did your family buy Family Video?" Eddie asks, planting both of his hands on the counter, leaning towards Steve. Taunting him.
Steve holds his ground, leaning back into his face, "I know you're bootlegging them, Munson."
Eddie bites out a laugh, right in Steve's face, "Yeah right, Harrington. You think I have money for two VCRs?"
"No. I think," Steve says, spinning around, tapping on the keyboard, "Charles Goodwin has two VCR money. He owes me seventeen dollars, by the way."
"Charles? Never heard of him," Eddie says, shifting his weight back and forth. Steve knows he's got him. He's definitely on the right track.
"Oh really?" Steve asks, still tapping away. He'd linked these accounts together months ago. "How about Gareth Jones? He's up to eleven dollars. Or Jeff Williams? Four dollars."
"I'm not sure you should be giving out all this sensitive information about your customers," Eddie says, and Steve rolls his eyes.
"I'm not giving any of you any additional rentals until you pay up."
"Harrington."
Steve isn't moved. "Munson."
"Fine," Eddie huffs, and swishes around, banging the door too hard as he flounces out, in a whirlwind of hair and bad attitude.
"Four dollars," Jeff Williams says, pushing four dollar bills across the counter at Steve. Steve just keeps his arms crossed.Β
Steve can see Eddie Munson's van in the parking lot, and he's not an idiot.
"Where's the rest of it?" Steve demands.
"I owe more than four dollars?" Jeff asks, and Steve tilts his head back, sighing.
"No. They do."
Jeff turns and looks out the plate glass windows.Β
"Uh, I don't know them?" Jeff says, voice lilting up, as if he's not really sure about that statement.
"Sure you don't," Steve answers, finally grabbing the four dollars, and shoving them into the register. Moving over to the computer, and pulling up Jeff's accounting. Marking it as paid in full, begrudgingly.Β
Jeff taps the two tapes on the counter, and Steve rents them to him. Even if he doesn't want to. Even if he knows exactly what they're doing.Β
The note is wedged under the BMW's wiper blade. It's just a crude drawing of a VHS tape and an address. Steve knows it's them. Knows he shouldn't even care what the freaks are up to, but he's curious. Sue him.Β
He parks in front of the house, and Eddie Munson is waiting in front of the garage, smoking. Steve saunters towards him, and Eddie pulls up the garage door, letting Steve duck under. It's all dark, and Steve suddenly feels a gnawing pit in his stomach that he's been set up.Β
Eddie makes no sudden movements though, and just presses his finger to his lips, telling Steve to be quiet.
He opens the back door, and there's an immediate set of stairs leading into the basement. Steve follows him, careful to be light on his feet, and down there are three other guys and a lot of video tapes.
One of them is sitting in front of a double-VCR set-up.
"If you wipe those fees, Goodie said you can borrow anything you want," Eddie says, and Steve scoffs. Who's Goodie? Well, Charles Goodwin, he supposes. Doesn't matter. Steve works at the video store. He can already borrow anything he wants for free, and in better quality than a bootleg.
But he looks closer. And they have things that they didn't get from Family Video. Hardcore things.
"Where'd you even get these?" Steve asks, and Eddie taps a case.
"Indy," he says, "we've got accounts all over."
"And you're selling them?" Steve asks, and Eddie laughs.
"You know how long it'd take to make multiple copies? No way. This is for our own personal enjoyment. And we'd share, if we can strike a deal."
Steve looks at him, studying his face, seeing if he's bullshitting or not. Eddie's a freak, and Steve has no business trusting a word he says.
But.
"You don't want pornos? Fine. Quarter of weed a month," Eddie offers. "You wipe our fees, keep us in tapes, and I'll keep you stocked."
Steve thinks about it. Then, he demands: "Four sleeping pills a week."
Eddie doesn't react for a moment, then says: "Two."
"Three," Steve counters, and Eddie sticks out his hand. Steve shakes it.
Between the headaches and the nightmares, three good nights of sleep a week is well worth making a deal with Eddie Munson.
April 1986
Steve turns the key in the lock. Somehow, Family Video is still standing. He boots up the computer, and slowly types: Eddie Munson.
When Eddie's account comes up, it's mostly squeaky clean. Steve had made sure of it. Their deal really saved his ass over the last few months. There's a lone dollar fee for not rewinding the last tape he'd rented. Steve deletes it. He also marks the two movies that are currently late as returned, before moving the account to inactive.Β
Then, he scrolls through Eddie's account history. Like he's going to learn something new about him from the tapes he'd rented. Unfortunately, he doesn't.
Steve's not sure when, or if, Hawkins is going to be normal enough for renting videos, but if it does bounce back? Well, nobody needs anything else to dig into about Eddie.
"You're here earlier than we planned. Whatcha doin'?" Robin asks, waltzing through the front door.
"Just some housekeeping," Steve says, and clicks back to the main screen. Planting his elbows on the counter, leaning over. He yawns. He's not sleeping well. Again.
"Ready to board this bitch up?" Robins asks. Keith fled or is dead. They don't know which, and Steve nods.
When they leave, Eddie's friends are loitering around Steve's car.
"Here," Gareth says, pressing a baggie into his palm.Β
Three pills.Β
"A deal's a deal."

Note: Does this follow S4 canon? Or is Eddie just over there healing? Whatever you prefer.
The fee for not rewinding, at least in Chicago, really was $1 in 1985.

Eddie who sleeps like he's been hit by a car. Sprawled across the mattress, limbs everywhere, face mashed into the pillow. Tossing and turning in the night. Steve can't understand how it can possibly be comfortable to sleep with your arms at that angle.
Steve who sleeps like a cat. Literally just curls into a ball and stays there.
Eddie who snores quietly, and Steve thinks it's so cute and it reminds him of a little puppy. Steve who sleeps so silently that sometimes Eddie wakes up in the middle of the night and has to put a hand to Steve's mouth to make sure he's still breathing.
Eddie who hogs the blanket. Steve who hogs the bed, because every time Eddie shifts even the slightest bit away, Steve is shifting to be right back pressed against him. They've woken up with Eddie basically dangling off the edge too many times to count. Sometimes in the night, Eddie will literally just roll Steve back over to his side. Sometimes, Eddie just gets out of bed and moves to the other now empty side. And of course they start the whole process over again.
Time for a post that doesn't comply with the gimmick...
So, companies are tracking you no matter what you do, but this specifically is something I care about deeply.
Essentially, when you share a link, sometimes it has extra data that tracks where it comes from and goes.
Opening Spotify, clicking the first item, and using the share button, I get something like open.spotify.com/track/4P0f1HTaA2UwtLJGryNgJZ?si=DBvbfihOSweU1KHj9Mib8w
That ?si=...........β¦. is the tracker. It tells Spotify who clicks on the link and ties it to you, meaning Spotify knows who your friends are even if you never follow them.
Similarly, if on Amazon or EBay in the browser, I get something like www.ebay.com/itm/146493392451?_skw=lenovo&itmmeta=............&hash=item................&itmprp=enc..............
And, similarly, everything after the question mark is tracking you. I had to blank it out because it was so long!
There is an exception for a few things (I.E. the v=..... on YouTube, but not the si=..... on YouTube)
The general rule is delete everything after the ? and if it breaks, add something back.
Firefox users, when you right-click to copy a URL, it will give you the option to "copy clean link" which does what prev describes for you automatically. 10/10.
