art is a way to life

Steve: So who’s up for a mystery tour? 

Eddie: From hell! 

Dustin: I want a divorce. 

*Sounds of Doken rocking in the background*

I ran out of time for a true Halloween picture so combined it with a movie night piece I’ve been sitting on.

I had trouble choosing the costumes, so many awesome 80s horror to go with. But in the end I decided Steve is very much a Fred, and loved watching the Scooby gang when little. As for Eddie NOES Dream Warriors came out and he’s so taken with that film, so had to be another Fred-dy lol The chaotic evil kind. It was that or I was going to go with Sammi Curr, a demonic rocker from beyond the grave from a little known film called Trick or Treat from ‘86. A film I’m sure the powers that be have watched as it’s about a Metalhead called Eddie who is bullied and plays a record backwards. And satanic panics up a rock god from hell. But didn’t think anyone would know Sammi so Freddy it was.

This is sort of an Art AU idea for a much older and not so wiser Steddie story I’d been thinking of. After all the shit that went down Steve left town and joined his dad at his new firm. Leaving behind the Steve of old, the kind babysitter. He’s a bit harsher and more of a yuppie type. But, deep down he’s still the Steve who wants to escape his dad’s shadow and get back to being the laid back dork we all love. It’s when he returns home to take charge of the Hawkins branch of the Harrington company that his car breaks down and he meets Eddie again. Eddie’s turned his life around and was taken under the wing of the local mechanic. By day he mends cars, and by night he takes up guitar at the local taverns. It’s a quiet life (well apart from calls from Dustin who is a University now) and he likes it. Till he runs into Steve again, and finds the trauma of his past due to the Upside down has created a much harsher man than the exasperated kid wrangler who left town.

Or to make it shorter, broken cars lead to romance, angst and greasy hands everywhere ;P

'Come on, Munson. Keep those feet moving.'

'Trying my best, Big Guy.'

'Dustin will never forgive me if I don't get you home.'

‘Hello, Steve. Miss me?.’

Tell me, tell me the lies you’re telling him when you Run away ‘cause I wanna know Cause I, I’m sure it’s killing him to find That you run to me when he lets you go 'Cause I’m burning, burning, burning up with fire So - come turn me on and turn the flames up higher - Wild Child W.A.S.P

Whenever I’m alone with you You make me feel like I am free again Whenever I’m alone with you You make me feel like I am clean again - The Cure, Lovesong

When you both survive to 1987, and your boyfriend takes you to see the hottest new rock act in town. Then feels jealous because his other half is crushing on the guitarist HARD.

‘That better be a packet of lifesavers in your pocket, Munson.’

‘I admit nothing.’

When you survive the end of the world by partying with your (maybe?) Monster hunting boyfriend. Or are they ‘steddie’ already XD 

(Yeah, yeah. I make dad jokes. My Gen X arse owns that. I’ll see myself out. ;p)

@xxfiction-is-my-realityxx asked for Steve and Eddie hugging from behind, and an anon asked for kissing. So much like the 80′s I mixx-taped them both together for a cute kiss from behind ;P
