@beritybaker Hi!!!! Happy to deliver your gift for the @steddieexchange

So @stevesjockstrap I hope you like this for your @steddieexchange

( i would check the link for a better resolution cause Tumblr will have nuked it from orbit.)

Went with the good old supernatural prompt from the list, but in a change from vampire kas Eddie, I'm hitting you with star crossed werewolf Eddie and his handsome Vampire lover Steve, who are forbidden from being together cause... well they are sworn enemy's from birth.

Obviously, they meet up every full moon at the graveyard where Steve likes to hang out. Right in between the wild garlic and the wolfsbane, that have grown over the hundreds of years they have been doing this, cause of course they would NEVER, get up to anything somewhere that could kill them would they?

Eddie is a frequent customer.

This is a gift for @ro15in as a part of the @steddieexchange !! :)) hope you enjoy!!!

Eventually he had come to accept that whatever he'd been feeling since March, this tension at the pit of his stomach whenever he saw Eddie, the buzzing on his skin when their hands brushed, and the way he felt like he'd had twelve cups of coffee after they spent time together, these overwhelming yet entirely familiar feelings all were all real and strong and not going away anytime soon. He hadn't done anything about it, obviously, but he had decided to accept it, lean into it, in a move that Robin had called "surprisingly mature." So now here Steve was, accepting of his enormous, ridiculous feelings for this insane man (man!) and very much aware that maybe it was reciprocated, if the way Eddie looked at him was anything to go by, and not really understanding what actually was stopping them from actually… doing anything about it.

Fear, probably. Most definitely. Fear of the unknown, at least for Steve. Fear of what it would mean for him to act on his feelings for another man. Fear that he was just projecting trauma onto some unnamed emotions and that he would ruin this still-new friendship. What he didn't know was what was stopping Eddie, if it was all the same fears, or if it was whatever made those walls go up when no one was looking. Steve had spent a lot of time looking at Eddie over the past few months, and though he thought he was starting to get him, there was obviously still something there that Eddie was keeping from all of them.

"How are you feeling?" Steve asked, trying to coax Eddie back to the present. He turned to look back at Steve, his eyes downcast but glimmering in the firelight.

"Same old, same old, Steve-o," Eddie said.

"Scars still bothering you? I know mine still itch like a motherfucker sometimes," Steve added.

"Yeah, man," Eddie said, swallowing. He pushed the butt of his cigarette into the ashtray on the armrest of his chair then hugged his legs closer to himself with both arms, head resting on his knees. "I don't feel like my body is, like, my body anymore, you know?"

And, boy, did Steve know. Those demobat scars fucked him up for a long time, though honestly it was the ones on his back that actually hurt the most for the longest. It had taken months for him to be able to sit comfortably and lie on his back. They didn't hurt so much anymore, but they looked a little gnarly. Steve hadn't slept with anyone since before Spring break — not that had felt up for it anyway — but he wondered how the hell he was going to explain the way his skin looked now to the next person he—

Well, in an ideal world that person would understand because he was sitting right across from him and he would have the same scars. But in a not-ideal world, were Steve to feel the urge to go out and hook up, he did wonder what a stranger would think, if they would think he was crazed violent psycho or something like that. Robin and Dustin kept saying he looked badass, but sometimes Steve thought he looked like a botched suicide attempt. It did mess him up sometimes, so he worked out about it. He jogged and swam when it was warm enough outside, and he lifted weights in the basement when it wasn't. It made him feel more like himself to keep proving to himself what his body could do, to see the muscles building under the scars, and most of the time he could forget about them, or at least accept them as evidence that he had survived.

"Yeah, I get that," he said, instead.

Eddie sighed deeply, leaning further back into the chair and shivering against the sudden cold breeze. His nose and cheek were fully red now, and Steve was suddenly struck by how endeared he felt at the sight of Eddie like this — so vulnerable, quietly opening himself up only a little bit in the middle of the night. It was kind of magical, and Steve never wanted it to end, though at the same time he became increasingly aware of the tingling at the tips of his fingers.

"It's cold, we should go to bed," said Steve. Eddie hummed, but shrugged under his blankets. Their breaths were like clouds coming out of their mouths. "Come on, let's go," he said again, getting up first and offering his hand for Eddie to take.

[still we can find our love from behind]

Steddie | Teen | Fake Dating, Season 5 rewrite (I speedrun a lot of things) | 5K

Steve has a plan. It involves a boyfriend, Eddie Munson, and getting his friends off his back for a bit. Maybe, eventually, a happy ending.

Eventually happens a lot more quickly than he expected.

"Besides, I'm dating someone else." Jonathan made a noise like he knew Steve was lying. "Oh yeah? Who? Robin?" And the thing was, Robin would have play acted his fake girlfriend if the circumstances were right, but he wouldn't do that to her or Vickie, and even if he did, there was no way Jonathan would actually buy it. Robin and Vickie weren't officially out to anyone but Steve, but it was a pretty open secret, at least among the older teens at that point. He was pretty sure Eddie knew, at least, and Nancy. And, Steve hated to admit it, but Jonathan was pretty perceptive. But that did leave a complication on who exactly could be the fake girlfriend. Or. He supposed it didn't have to be a girlfriend, did it? He could be reasonably certain no one would be outright disgusted at the alternative, and it wasn't like Steve was opposed to the idea of a boyfriend. He'd made out with Argyle last summer, and he'd finally admitted to Robin that maybe there had been something weird between him and Tommy and Carol before their friendship breakup. (Actually, it was probably weird to think of a friendship falling out as a breakup in the first place, but that was another problem for another time.) But Steve couldn't name Argyle, even if they had made out before, because Argyle was hardly ever in town, usually off on supply runs with Wayne or Murray, and anyway Jon was as weird about Argyle as he was about Nancy, so a fake relationship would be, well, hard to fake. So that left him with only one choice. "No, asshole. Not Robin," Steve said. His heart was beating painfully hard in his chest, and he realized with sudden clarity that he wished he wasn't lying about this. Fuck. He was an idiot. This was going to blow up in his face. He hadn't thought any of this through. He was the worst at plans. "Eddie. I'm dating Eddie."

@steddieexchange fic for @beingmissbatty ❤️❤️❤️

rated: explicit tags/cws: sub eddie, shibari, light puppy play

Eddie's hands are bound behind his back, forearms pressed together and pulling his shoulders back in a way that doesn't allow him to really forget the position he’s in.

His eyes are closed as he breathes through his nose, trying to slow his heart rate, trying to slow the thoughts that barrage through his brain.

He wants Steve's hands on him again—that’s the only thing he can think of that will make this better. He’s not far—if Eddie opened his eyes, he’d see him in front of him, legs spread out as he watches Eddie from the couch. His phone is in his hand, but Eddie knows most of his attention is on him and it’s heady, the feeling of being so alluring that there’s nothing on Steve’s phone that can tear his gaze away from him for more than a few seconds.

Steve's giving him space to get into the right head space on his own right now because that’s what Eddie asked for, what Eddie thought he needed tonight.

Usually, the ropes are enough to do it for him. The slow, methodical way Steve touches him as he’s tying him up, the drag of the rope on his skin, the way the rope, even as soft as it is, bites into his skin a little as Steve secures another knot.

But he’s had a restless energy inside him all day that he just can't shake.

want you so bad (wonder if you care)

Eddie doesn't know. He doesn't care. He only has eyes for Steve. He's had enough to drink that he can't help himself. Usually he manages to keep it together but tonight the warmth of alcohol, the celebratory mood of the night and the fact that Steve has been leaning into his space all night have his resolve slipping.
