the christmas arrangement by @harringtonsdiary| multi-chapter 5/5 complete, coworkers to lovers, grumpy boss x sunshine intern, smut, angst
love this one sooo much, this author is incredible and i recommend all their fics, but this is my fav! love how they discuss steve’s trauma and how reader unconsciously comforts him. small town holiday + found family vibes are immaculate!
✰ only the lightest blues by @levanswrites | slow burn, touch-starved steve, fluff, smut, comfort, one-shot
most rereadable one-shot of all time! just gets better with time, i love me some needy steve because that man has been through enough! he just needs reassurance and someone to be there for and with him💗 reader is an absolute angel, and all the other fics by the author are great too!
lessons in chemistry by @harringtonsdiary | multi-chapter, FINSIHED!! sweetest ending ever, angst, enemies to lovers, teasing, forced proximity, teachers/coworkers to lovers, smut

girls like you by @sexwithnocondom | angst, smut, unrequited love (not steve), rebound, jealously, praise, one-shot, smut with a teeny bit of plot
the concept of : being in love with eddie munson although he “doesn’t see you”, so steve harrington offers to show him what he’s missing by fucking you (amazingly so) in eddie’s bed is reason enough to read this. (WARNING: squirting)
we’ll call it love by @superblysubpar | angst, more angst, friends w benefits to lovers, slooww burn, rich! steve (😛), beautifully written characters, finished multi-chapter
did i almost cry of literal ANGST while reading this? yes. will i recommend it to everyone? definitely!!! absolutely adore this one, even though it frustrated me to hell and back, but the fluffy ending made up for it 100%.

you're on a road trip with your friends, but Steve can't keep his hands to himself... not even with them in the same room (WARNING: exhibitionism, daddy kink)
(and for those of yall who hate the use of daddy in fics- firstly, yall would absolutely HATE me, secondly, do NOT try and tell me that steve ‘the king’ harrington doesn’t have a daddy kink because you and I both know that man does)
no one knows (oh what you do to me) by @keeryhours| one-shot, CEO X assistant, power dynamics, smuttt, teasing, sexual tension, rich!steve (sue me 🙂↔️)
the smut in this AYEEE 😛😛 pov: you’re the personal assistant to a very important (and irritatingly sexy) CEO. at least, you thought that was all you were, until an important party uncovers the fact that the insane attraction might not be one-sided.
✰ beyond; by @abibliophobiaa | fake marriage, roomates to friends to lovers, angst angst angst, smut, then angst again then fluff! and guess what….? RICH!STEVE 😛😛
on my top fics of all time fs! beautiful plot with real and genuine characters, i absolutely inhaled this in 24 hours it’s like a literal drug im obsessed! finished multi-chapter
dancing with our hands tied by @taintedcigs | angstttt, two-shot, fluff, love triangle (kinda??), steve is head over heels (in a very endearing way)
no warnings! just great plot with great angst and great fluff! honestly revolves around miscommunication and fear of how their relationship would affect others, but they’re soo in love it hurts! this fic already had me at the tswift reference title
out-charmed by @vultbae | one-shot, SMUTTTT with a bit of plot, sexual tension, obsessed steve
steve is obsessed with you the moment he sees your angelic face and innocent smile, but your first date at a party shows that you might not be that innocent- and steve definitely digs that. the smut? the dirty talk? 💯💯
✰ gasoline by @stevie-petey | slow burn, angst angst angst angst, sexual tension, drunken nights, slow burn (WARNING: drugs and violence)
you’re hired as a photographer for an uprising 80s band- pays well enough, you get to have a good and stable home, everyone becomes a close friend quickly… the only problem? the main vocalist and absolute firehouse that is steve harrington. (THIS PLOT HAS ME IN A CHOKEHOLD)
stretched and next time by @bruisedsoupp | SMUT❗️, absolute filth (i mean it, don’t read it if you ain’t into it) , two- shot, no plot, established relationship ?
absolutely insane wtf. literally just plain, mind numbing smut, no plot- but definitely the type of smut that makes you kick your feet and shiver. the dirty talk in this 💯 (WARNING: anal play)
sweet dreams, baby by @fru1t4fr0gs| angssttttttt, GREAT plotline, fluff, bit of smut, henderson!reader, multi-chapter, finished 🥳
i love the lil twist in this one, and the mix of flashbacks and present time is presented sooo well! actually laughed out loud and cooed with this one. love the oc in this and their dynamics are sooo good 😫
words (un)said by @fantasyoverreality247 | three-chapter tooth rotting fluff, end of the world angst, amazing smut, literally so fucking adorable!!
just found this hidden gem! revolves around the finale and some love confessions before the end of the world. steve and reader’s dynamic is the best! the smut is also chef’s kiss and the ending is wonderful!
now that the end of the world is over… by @lesservillain | multi-chapter, ongoing, accidental pregnancy trope (but not annoying), super sweet dad steve, cute little family, smuttish, fluff. exes to lovers
sadly, still ongoing but the chapters are sooo thoroughly written and descriptive that it’s so fulfilling to read each one. right before hawkins quarantine, steve and reader spend the night together, the condom snaps but they ignore it. they def shouldn’t have done that because reader went back to chicago (pun intended) found out she was pregnant and couldn’t reach steve because of quarantine. now she’s back, and steve is surprisingly happy about it. sloww burn.
peanut butter vibe by @carolmunson | smut with incredible plot, angst, fwb to lovers!, fluff, short multi chapter (incomplete), plus size reader, reaaal rich steve (MY NICHE😫😫 yall already know), daddy kink warning, lovesick steve, def top best dirty talks ever.
I LOVE this, maybe im biased bc of how im obsessed with the rich!steve plotline but wtv. natalie (reader) and steve became friends with benefits in their 20s, never really blossoming into more bc reader lives in the city, until some twists happen and things change. this fic is inclusive for plus size readers as well! thought that was so sweet. PS: youll NEVER read dirty talk like this, istg i actually shivered a few times lolll.
the real deal by @graywrenhart | best friends to lovers, fake dating, sweet baby steve, found family vibes, multi chapter, unfinished, plot with smut and reall sexual tension, lots of angstt
READ THIS IN A SITTING ISTG, i lovee the vibes in this so bad. the story is about how you have an amazing and funny- but very overbearing family who’s obsessed with your love life. to get them off your back, you decide to bring a fake boyfriend over for Christmas, and who’s better than your best friend steve harrington? steve’s such a cutie in this one and he’s just so happy to have a family to spend christmas with 💔, he’s also stupidly in love with reader so that’s sweet. reader is confused so it gets angsty
disparate youth by @morninglesss | fake dating, friends to lovers, steve finding his anchor, mommy/daddy issues for steve, amazingly written, multi-chapter, ongoing
this author’s writing is amaaaaazing!! if you’re a gator fan, go read their fics abt him, very beautifully angsty but soo lovely! basically, stevie boy is embarrassed that he’s pushing thirty and has no one to take to his parents’ summer house with his whole entire family, so he asks one of his best friends (you) and you make everything so much lighter and lovely he starts to question if he’s always only seen you as a friend.
I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss by @andvys | apocalypse au, unfinished multi chapter, enemies to lovers
soooo good! inhaled this in a day (and it's not small lemme tell you). brief enemies to lovers, angstt, apocalypse au with a sprinkle of zombies, eddie mention! , sunshine!reader x grumpy!steve
coach!steve recs
chalkboard hearts by @stevesgother |cute fluffy multichapter
