big fan of daniel going completely off the rails while shouting "im nORMAL i am NORMAL im A NORMAL MAN" the whole time

i got commissioned to do another excerpt from the Devil's Minion chapter of Queen of the Damned and it was So Much Fun these two are insane

chapter excerpt under the cut:

Eddie comes back from the dead (handwave handwave, idc how) and moves in with Steve while he and Nancy continue dating long distance

stancy are happy-ish in that they do love each other properly by now, just Not Like That - it's unspoken but they both know it about themselves and have their own insecurities about it. kind of a "I'm clearly broken but this is the closest I'm ever going to get to The Real Thing so I'm clinging to it"

steddie are falling in love back in Hawkins while Nancy's out in New York being a cool journalist, and Steve is ofc oblivious to his own feelings while Eddie is pining away knowing stancy are together

then Nancy encounters the concept of aromanticism and bursts into tears of relief at her NY kitchen table. she immediately gets in the car and heads for Hawkins, because Steve deserves to know, and Nancy's no coward

meanwhile, Eddie decides to leave town to save himself and Steve has a dramatic last minute sexuality crisis, confessing his love as Eddie's on his way out the door

Meanwhile, Eddie is a thief, part of Hopper's crew, and they are planning to invade the castle during the wedding to steal whatever they can, since most of the guard is going to be too busy taking care of the ceremony; security everywhere else on the castle will be way easier to fool that way.

Hopper gives orders to all his crew members about what they're supposed to take and where to find them. They've studied the castle thoroughly for the past few months; everyone is more than ready when the wedding day finally comes.

One by one, everyone in the crew gets back to their meeting location safely and with the itens they were supposed to steal and Hopper is overjoyed that his plan is turning out to be a success.

Until Eddie finally shows up.

With Prince Steve trailing behind him.

Everyone is so shocked that no one says a word, the silence deafening for a bit too long and then Hopper at last finds his voice again.

"I sent you to steal the crown jewels, not the fucking prince, Eddie!!"

STRANGER THINGS ▸ 5.08 chapter eight: the rightside up

He comes face to face with this (admittedly very hot) guy holding a piping bag of icing and wearing a flour covered apron in the kitchen.

They both just stand there.

Staring at each other.

This guy - Steve, he’ll learn - isn’t exactly the poster child for Stand Your Ground so, “Fuck it, I’m robbing you.”

“Hm,” Steve says. “No, you’re not.”

“No, I’m - what?”

“You look like a nerd,” He says, picking up one of the cookies he was icing. “Does this look like a Deathstar?”

“…It looks like a disco ball.”

“That’s what I thought,” Steve shakes his head. “Damn it.”
