The resounding rumor in the Hawkins Little League baseball program—more specifically, among the women who occupy the third row of bleachers at Elm Street Ballpark every Tuesday and Thursday—is that Coach Steve Harrington is single.
Very single.
“There’s just no way,” Sharon McIntyre sighs for the third time this inning. She squints toward the field, shading her eyes with one hand like she might be able to spot a wedding ring from home plate. “I mean, look at him. Nobody looks like that coaching a little league team.”
“I’m telling you, Shar,” Kelly Dunlop chimes in, iced coffee rattling in her hand. “My sister works mornings at the diner. She says he comes in all the time. Always alone. No ring, no girlfriend, nothing. If he had someone, she’d know.”
DEAR GOD. THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED 😩
⛓️ pleeeease 🥺
hi nonnie! here's a snippet from my very rough draft of prof!dom!steve 18+ mdni!
“House rules are posted everywhere,” Steve says, gesturing to the framed sign on the wall. “Safewords are mandatory. We use the stoplight system. Red stops everything. Yellow means slow down or check in.” “I know that part,” you say quickly, then wince. “Sorry, I didn’t mean—” He smiles, calm and assured. “It’s okay. I like that you've done your homework.” Heat immediately rushes to your face. You find yourself straightening just a touch, suddenly conscious of him in a way you weren’t before. If Steve notices the change in your posture, he graciously doesn’t comment. “You’re allowed to ask me anything, by the way," he adds gently. “I’m an open book.” You hesitate, then lower your gaze slightly. "Do you… play here a lot?” “A few nights a week,” he responds with an easy nod. “Some weeks more. Some less.” “With strangers?” “Occasionally. Mostly people I already know. Or people who come recommended.” Your flush deepens. “Like me?” His smile is slow, knowing. “Like you.”
from my wip ask game <3
the abba champagne scene from starlight, calling lives in my head rent free 24/7 i love ur writing so much!!!
you know what nonnie? i was just listening to that playlist. whole thing takes me back 🥹
Byler this, cutgate that. The real betrayal is that they baited us into believing we'd get to see Steve Harrington fight monsters with a chainsaw and then all he did was do some home improvement for the demogorgon edition of Home Alone.
hi! i just wanted to say that you’re my all-time favorite steve writer. you’re so, so, so good!!! i think your perception of him is so beautiful and accurate, it’s honestly insane.
so i was wondering— and only if you’re willing to share about it—what was your writing process like when you first started writing for steve?
as a reader, i think one of the coolest things about fanfiction is when you can read a scene/dialogue and pratically see/hear the character, which happens a lot when i read your work.
and as a beginning writer, i feel like i struggle a lot coming up with steve’s dialogue/thoughts/mannerisms because i’m always afraid of accidentally mischaracterizing him (or making him just another victim of the tumblr-male-character-recipe, y’know?).
so, i always wondered how great, wonderful writers like you started their own writing processes.
i’m sorry if this question is inappropriate or if you already answered this!
i adore u <333 muah muah muah
hi lovely! this is such a sweet, wonderful question—not inappropriate at all! massive ramble incoming:

how do you think steve feels about the scars he has from the demobat attack and everything else he’s been through? we see steve struggle with self esteem at points in the series so i feel like the scars would bother him. i love your writing and would love to hear your take on this because you write steve so well!
ohh big smooches to you! this is exactly the kind of thing I love to write abt :) also requested by this anon

The first time you really notice it, it’s early June.
Coconut sunscreen and cut grass. Hot concrete that stings the soles of your feet if you stand in one spot too long.
Steve’s pool glows that impossible chlorine blue, the surface wobbling under the constant splash of bodies jumping in without warning.
The backyard is pure chaos: laughing, shouting, Springsteen blaring from Lucas’ boombox, Dustin yelling something dramatic about the burgers burning in the fiery pits of hell.
You sit on the edge of the pool, legs dangling in, toes dragging lazy ripples across the water.
It’s the first real heat wave of the year. The first day shirts come off without anyone thinking twice about it.
Steve had taken his off earlier.
Stripped it away without hesitation, kicking off his sneakers and grinning at you over his shoulder. The sun hit his skin and he didn’t even flinch. Just stood there for a second, eyes closed, soaking it in, like it felt good. Like it reminded him of something familiar.
Then he dove in the pool. Perfect form, made a whole show of it.
That was maybe an hour ago.
Afterward, he went inside to refill the lemonade pitcher.
He hasn’t come back since.
HEY. I came here to be titillated and fucked silly by Steve. Why am I about to cry at the epilogue???? 🫵🏻 your fault!!!
ah 🙈 (hehe 😈)

rules of the crawl changed my life you’re so incredibly talented. would you be willing to write about steve overstimulating reader? reader being at like orgasm 3, wanting it so bad but feeling like her body just can’t do it and steve guiding her through it… but like also degradation ….. idk ! feel free to make it your own !
thank you for requesting lovely!! i hope you like this!

expanding on this blurb bc I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
I strongly believe that, despite being great with kids, Steve isn’t a natural when it comes to teaching, or being around children in general. None of it’s instinctive for him.
Steve isn’t good with kids because it comes naturally to him. He’s good with kids because he decides to be. Decides that he will not be the kind of adult who dismisses their feelings, who dangles approval like a carrot and metes out praise like currency.
He grew up an only child. No little siblings tugging at his sleeve, nobody to teach him the kind of patience that only comes from sharing a room or waiting your turn. His house was always too big—plenty of space, no one to fill it.
So when all these kids swarm him during PE, when they climb and cling and squeal and ask and ask and ask, there’s a split second where his brain goes, what do I do with this?
It’s a learning curve. Figuring out the boundary between encouragement and discipline, between letting his students explore and keeping them safe.
He fumbles a lot; not even his time babysitting Dustin and the rest of the party could prep him for this. All these tiny, buzzing bodies, each with their own brains and moods and personalities... it's a lot to navigate.
But slowly, moment by moment, he figures it out.
Not without mistakes, he's far from perfect.
Still, he shows up everyday.
Because in the end, he chooses this.
He chooses to be kind. To be affectionate, patient. To let himself be soft, to let them climb and cling and squeal around him even when it makes his back ache and his head spin.
He chooses love, over control, every single time.
He’s not trying to relive his own childhood.
He’s unconsciously building the one he wishes he'd had.
The big brother he would’ve been, if only someone smaller had been in his orbit back then. The adult he needed when he was six, when nobody asked him how he was doing after he lost his dog, or when he scraped his knee, or when he couldn’t finish his english homework because all the letters looked wrong and he just didn't understand.
And it’s exhausting, sometimes.
He second-guesses himself constantly. Lying awake at night, wondering if he’s a bad teacher because he’s too soft, too lenient.
But then he comes back to school the next morning and sees his desk covered in glitter, with over a dozen crayola-smudged cards and handmade bracelets stacked on top—turns out yesterday’s art class activity was to write a thank-you letter to your favorite teacher—and he can't help but think:
Huh. Maybe I am doing something right.
how do you think steve feels about the scars he has from the demobat attack and everything else he’s been through? we see steve struggle with self esteem at points in the series so i feel like the scars would bother him. i love your writing and would love to hear your take on this because you write steve so well!

this is so coach!steve coded to me 🥹🥹
omg it is! 😖 the little kiddo going 'can i have a driiink 🥺' the vaseline thing is definitely something little eli would say.
coach steve would fold so quickly. no resistance. none.
this man shows up to PE with a whistle and a clipboard, fresh off a 5-minute self pep talk to be firm, stay in charge, set boundaries and leaves forty-five minutes later held emotionally hostage by six-year-olds who have learned that if they ask nicely, he will cave.
those kids would get away with everything.
1. using him as a jungle gym during outdoor PE
i absolutely love your writing! your characterization of steve is so perfect and your fics always feel like a deeper exploration of who he is. after everything he’s been through, i think steve would definitely have some scarring (specifically on his stomach where he was bitten by demobats). how do you think he would deal with those changes in his physical appearance and how would it effect his perception of himself especially as someone who has been valued for his looks?
i love you so much anon!! thank you for requesting this it's right up my alley :)) i hope you enjoy this!
