Summary:

“You’re telling me Eddie’s uncle was macking on my mom?” “All I said was there was a spark.” Dustin looks at him like he’s the most loathsome creature to ever crawl out of the Upside Down. Steve elaborates, “Y’know? A spark; fireworks; chemistry.” Childishly, Dustin plugs his ears with his fingers and chants, “Lalalalalalalala."

Or, the summer after the world almost ends, Steve becomes an accidental matchmaker.

This is a MOD rec as a part of our Fic Fridays.

1) openly not liking each other much, always bickering and exchanging thinly veiled threats, or

2) acting all fake friendly and nice to the point of being flirty, even though there's absolutely nothing between them.

Hi! I understand why it might be weird, but "closeted shippers" are usually so for safety, as being open about shipping can lead to harassment, banning from servers and ruining friendships.

Closeted shippers do not post any explicitly shipping content in public, so it technically shouldn't be a worry. If there is no clear indication the post is specifically shippy, it's most likely not.

It's completely okay to not want to interact with shippers even if they aren't open about it. It's important to remember that if you do ask/find out about a person whether or not they are a shipper, this information should be kept private.

Other than being shippers, many fans also focus on non-ship content and interacting with the rest of the fanbase is just as important for us as for others.
