you, me, & the laptop between our knees | written by steddieasitgoes | ao3 link

happy valentine's day @stevethehairington I know you were probably hoping for something more Buddie centered, but I still haven't watched 9-1-1 so hopefully this is the best of both worlds! And I think it hits your "literally anything domestic" prompt lol Major shoutout to @strawberryspence for helping me with all the 9-1-1/Buddie research! This fic would be terrible without her insight! And another special shoutout to @artbean for organzing this exchange for us!

“You’re watching a show about firefighters?” Steve balks. That’s a plot twist Steve didn’t see coming. If he had to guess what Eddie’s been watching for weeks it would be something more… well, nerdy. Something like Game of Thrones or Dr. Who. Firefighters, though? That seems a bit too mainstream for the dude who has no less than three versions of The Lord of the Rings books on his desk. “It’s called having hobbies,” Eddie sasses, throwing Steve’s own words back at him. “Fair point,” Steve says sheepishly. This time, it’s his cheeks that flush with embarrassment and regret. “Just one more question, and I’ll leave you alone.”  Eddie groans but motions for Steve to continue.  “What show is it?” Steve asks, genuinely curious.  “9-1-1.” 

Or:

Desperate to befriend his roommate, Steve crashes Eddie’s 9-1-1 binge-watching sessions and ends up with more than just a new favorite show.

i’ve been trying to find somewhere to talk about this and i didnt want to bring it to twitter then i forgot that TUMBLR exists. Jesus, I’m so stupid.

ANYWAYS, I don’t regret watching Stranger Things 2 again (in avoidance of rewatching Parks & Rec because I just finished watching it for the first time and I feel like i need to keep my distance for now because im so unbelievably soft that show CHANGED MY LIFE. but thats for another time.) but I also regret it and now IM SOFT ABOUT STRANGER THINGS. I watched both only once but season 2 was amazing and i was literalLy MIND. BOWN. again!!! For me if a show can make me feel the same exact things all over again its pretty fckin good. I wasn’t sure how i truly felt about this show because i liked it but i wasnt like WOOOaoaaaaOOOAAaaH. but now im like WoOAOAAHAHAh my mind is all over the place right now but i really ugh

one of the best things about season 2 was steve harrington’s character development. now i am a HUUUUGE sucker for character development and steve’s was so fucking fantastic and it was done so well i love him he jumped from one of my least favorite characters (from season one) to one of my top fave characters ever. its done so well. PROPS

okay im still somewhat buzzing and i needed to put my thoughts somewhere so ya!! but im probably gonna rewatch parks and rec soon so i am so super EXCITED.
