    Summary

    "...No more money for new clothes, Farah Fawcett, gas in his car, groceries, and the list goes on. The hardest part of it all, is that if he didn't want to rent an apartment, he was stuck handing over money to his parents. And it didn't help that they raised the charge when he started making more at Family Video. Steve Harrington was officially living paycheck to paycheck and it was exhausting.

    It's safe to say, Steve Harrington has known what it's like to be broke. For an incredibly long while. He may have a roof over his head, but he doesn't have anything in his pocket to keep himself satisfied."

    OR
    Steve Harrington is penniless and struggling to explain to Robin and Eddie

    OR
    Twitter user: @/emotionalking13 had a really cool idea where Robin and Eddie push Steve away from conversations regarding financial struggles because he won't understand, although, he completely does.

    Summary

    “You’re gonna be a Siren, aren’t you?” Benten had laughed, “Don’t look at me like that. I see how you love your Songs, Super Steel!”

    “They’re not mine,” he had argued, but hadn’t let go of Benten’s hand when he pulled him into a dance, coaxing a Song from Juno easily.

    Because no matter how hard Juno wanted to believe that those Songs were his mother’s, that he was nothing like the Siren she was, he knew their melodies had already carved themselves into his bones the same way they had Benzaiten’s. But Benten didn’t feel the urge to Sing like he did, didn’t need to create the music with his veins and lungs, he danced instead. Maybe it was a mark against Juno’s character, how he couldn’t rip himself from the Song in his blood like Benten could. Maybe it was just how Benten was, how he found freedom in dancing with his human body just as much as flying in his avian form.

    Not that any of them could fly very high, or very far, without fear of someone seeing them. Swans shouldn’t exist on Mars, after all.

    Summary

    “Steve really needed to get his stupid thing he had with Munson under control. He struggled to find a word for it. It was like an anti-crush or something. The same awareness and panic that a crush brought, but not because he had feelings for the guy. Because of the opposite. Because any time he saw Munson, his heart kicked up in fear, his breathing got shallow, his whole body started to warm. Munson made him want to turn heel and run.”

    In which Steve has the opposite of the suspended bridge effect.

    (Featuring omega!Steve pretending to be an alpha and alpha!Eddie silently losing his mind.)

    The Curse of Aphrodite by for maircries

    Summary

    "So you're gonna go through initiation, right?"
    "I don't know..."
    "Steve, you have to, no one will accept you until you do."
    "It just seems so mean!"
    "Who cares, it's one broken heart, is that really so bad in the scheme of things?"
    "I guess not..."

     

    In which Steve Harrington, Son of Aphrodite, is initiated into the cabin through the tradition of breaking a heart on purpose. The heart he's chosen to break? That of Eddie Munson, Son of Hermes. But Steve may get more than he bargained for with Eddie.

    BASICALLY, maircries and I saw a singular (one!) fanart of Eddie and Steve as demigods and now we're both writing a Camp Half-Blood AU. Mine will be short and ship-focused, hers is going to be long and break my heart.
    Enjoy
