“Sometimes Steve has to remind himself that Eddie is his age, and even though Steve himself sometimes feels like a single dad in his forties, he's barely out of high school. Often Eddie acts like he has everything figured out, but it's just an act. It's imminent now, when he's quiet. He looks so young. So lost.” Everyone here is way too young. Not that being Hopper’s or Joyce’s ages left them prepared for Upside Down situations
LOL, I’m immediately proven wrong after submitting my last comment two minutes ago
“A joyful tickle has him shivering. Steve feels like he just won a game of tag. Boyish and wild. He feels light and happy and a little out of breath. The glow is spreading from within the core of his chest. Similar to the sizzle of a sparkler, small flecks of bright blazes pop up, buzzing under his skin. There is an unexplainable sense of pleased pride running all the way to his fingertips. The feelings inside of him get bigger and bigger, threatening to burst out of him. Then everything settles into a comfortable sensation of safety, something Steve hasn’t felt in a long time. It’s similar to the sensation that bubbles up inside him when he crawls into Robin’s bed after a nightmare and she holds him close until he can fall asleep, only more intense. More content. It’s the strange combination of floating away weightlessly and being more grounded than ever.” 💜💜💜 I love this description!
Fuck yeah, Steve deals the killing blow with a fucking ax and, understandably, vomits. There’s been so much emotion and stress. Upside Down goo and decapitation on top of that would drive most people to some kind of break
New prediction: Steve sees that Eddie already has his mark and while Eddie is being medically treated and unconscious, Steve overthinks what that might mean. Why Eddie didn’t tell him
I think no one would ever be prepared for anything remotely close to the Upside Down 🫠😅😅 But the fact that the government never felt bothered by all these kids saving the day over and over again doesn't sit right with me.
Honestly, I DID consider making them spark after the bat attack, so you're not completely wrong there.
The soulmark sparks are my favourite too. I'm so glad you like them 💜💜💜
Badass Steve, my beloved! I wanted Vecna dead and gone. The absolute joy of writing your own stuff where you can do whatever you wanna do 💪🏼🥰 And yeah, I reckon it all is very gross. So being sick after all that just felt natural.
I'm so excited to see what you say to the final chapters 🥹😍 It's an absolute joy to read alongside you with all your highlights 💖
