Billy Hargrove is a Babe

(you gotta have) faith

At first, Steve thinks it’s just one of those weird things that happen sometimes.

Brain cacophonies, Carol calls them (“And it’s always my mom and always that tone she uses. Her ‘That-cleavage-is-too-low-Caroline―tone. It’s just. It’s c.r.e.e.p.y”), that thing of suddenly thinking somebody’s calling your name except, when you turn around, you realize it was all in your own head.

It happens to Steve with that commanding voice his father uses to hiss out his name (‘Tomorrow at five. Don’t be late, Ssssteven’ and ‘It’s time you stop behaving like a kid, Ssssteven’ and ‘I said no, Ssssteven. And this is my last word on it’). It makes him jump out of sleep at night, that voice. Swears he can hear it calling sometimes while he’s taking a shower, so he can’t but step out of the cozy warmth and slip on his way to the door to check. So fuck if Carol ain’t right. Goddam creepy. Even creepier when is his late English teacher’s, Mr. Fleishman, and that nasal, high-pitched tone with which he used to blow Steve’s ears up and out of his cloud of self-absorption and that now still haunts him sometimes, like some phantasmagoric retaliation for all those times it was Steve who made his ears blow up trying to convince him into turning his C’s into D’s to, ironically, avoid his father’s hissing.

(Steve’s pretty much run out of luck when it comes to‘Otherworldly things that come back to haunt you’. Wouldn't be that much of a surprise having to add Mr. Fleishman to his inexorably growing list)

But.

It’s neither his father's nor Mr. Fleishman's. Nor is it calling him from the messy insides of his own head.

No-no.

The voice Steve hears. The voice yelling his name. The voice singing from the other side of the façade. Hoarse and grave and a little shaken, almost trailing out of key. The voice that makes Steve get up and go looking for it. That voice sounds, unequivocally, like,

“But what th―?”

“―If I could touch yourrrr―ohhhhhHARRINGTON!”

Billy’s.

OK but what if Billy Hargrove had Steve Harrington’s face and Steve Harrington had Billy Hargrove’s face?

They would be good in Face Off remake.

Billy in Steve’s face is something else…😮😍

They're in love, your honour

Day 22: Cobwebs

They're in love, your honour

Steve thinks of the night. of the sound of crickets chirping and the sharp smell of smoke assaulting his nostrils. of undulating yellow and red and orange. of troubled blue eyes, the color of lightning strikes and thunderstorms. a smattering of cuts and bruises like constellations on tanned skin. he remembers the heat of a body against him, kisses stolen, and secrets shared. of fogged-up car windows, and the uncomfortable leather of a too-small backseat. He thinks of laying there, warm breath on his collarbone and a boneless boy atop him. but most of all, he remembers the gentleness with which those lips kissed him goodnight that night without knowing it would be their last.

Thought it’d be hilarious if It were Steve and Billy bickering in a car with Murray :D Did a rough sketch of a possible comic strip.

Day 15: Echo

AU Having to drive away from your flayed boyfriend

Tumblr has condensed the image and intern ruined it but what can you do... Text free version below the cut

(We discussed this a lot in the discord, so props to the gang for this.  A group effort, it was.  Here are my musings about that Hocus Pocus AU.  Tagging @ihni and @pondermoniums just uh,,, cuz y’all were interested in this kinda thing 👀)

So obviously Billy is Max and Max is Dani (lol).  Like, obviously.

And they’ve moved and Billy is just over it because this town is boring, these people are boring, and who takes Halloween this seriously anymore besides fucking nerds and kids?  A whole town being into it?  Like, what fucking even.

And witches???  Really???  Fucking please.  Billy knows there’s no such thing.  Knows that these people are just whirled up in some sort of town wide fantasy.  And he definitely says as much.  Gets in trouble for it, too.  But, it does get someone to notice him.

The only thing Billy’s even remotely enjoyed in this town is Steve Harrington.  Rich prep boy with really soft looking hair and big eyes that Billy just wants to stare into for ages and long fingers and that pale skin.  Steve is snickering as Billy gets his talking to, rolling his eyes with a smile when Billy shoots him a wink.

Kind of a screenshot redraw, kind of an inspired choice, kind of halloween related... Funny story, actually... So @booksfoxesandcoffee and @chika-the-terrible and I were doing the usual tuesday night things, discussing fic ideas and you know how wild we get in there 😆

And in the middle of it all, suddenly a scene from this film came to mind and I combined the two to make this... screenshot redraw-slash-inspired-by-friends and yes I'm shamelessly plugging my gifset here because it's such a specific moment and I haven't seen gifmakers gif it yet so...

I hope y'all are having a spooky october! 💚💚💚

I love this you have no idea

Day 5: Monsters

“Let’s go, pretty boy.”

So I watched Stranger Things…

I’m happy about some things and really unhappy about the others.

My headcanon is that Max knows everything
