Okay, so we've all seen the harringrove stories where alpha!billy comforts omega!Steve after alpha!Nancy breaks his (Steve's) heart at that goddamn Halloween party. What I like to imagine is that instead of being heartbroken, Steve promptly stops giving a shit about romance in general, like, "screw it, I don't need romance to feel validated, I've got 6 kids to take care of." And then during basketball practice, all the alphas on the team start making sexist jokes about how Steve will pry start behaving like a slut now that he's single, or that he'll be desperate to find a mate, so he might as well present for one of them. In response, Steve says the following:
"and why the hell would I want any kind of relationship with one of you high maintenance alpha bastards?"
That shuts them right up, and Steve is left in peace to be a strong, independent bisexual mother of 6 who knows his way around a nail bat.

We've seen autistic Steve, autistic Eddie, and Autistic Robin. All three are great, and we love to see it.
But you know what I haven't seen?
Autistic Dustin.
Just picture it! I imagine that Dustin would have mild autism, just because that seems fitting for his character. He'd probably try to hide it, because I really can't picture Hawkins Middle or Hawkins High having a very good support system for special needs kids.
But then he'd meet Steve. Steve, who is people smart rather than book smart. Steve, who can tell that there's something else that Dustin needs support in.
I can just imagine Steve being the most supportive big brother/mom when Dustin finally trusts him enough to tell him (Steve). He'll find Dustin the best stim toys, so that he doesn't hurt himself. He'll help Dustin through every meltdown. He'll shower his kid with compliments when Dustin feels like he's just too different.
Okay, that's all I have to say on this matter. Also, please keep in mind that I am /not/ autistic. I do, however, know many kids who are, and have had many close interactions with them. I am basing the finer details of this ramble on my interactions with them.
Thanks for reading! I'd love to hear your thoughts! Comments are chicken soup for my soul!
AO3 is down right now, so I can't read this yet, but I look forward to it!

Okay, this isn't really a Stranger Things post, but I just want everyone to know this. Whatever your preferences, whatever kind of relationship you want it to be, find yourself someone who'll look at you the way Medjed looks at his cat.
I would like it to be known that I did not mean to vote for Jango Fett, I meant to vote for Jaster Mereel
Happy Pride Month, everyone!
I saw the B in Spanish dialogue and I had to draw it
aaaaaaaa
AAAAAAA!!!!!!!
fucking PERFECT OH MY GOD?? You are a dazzling person, truly, holy shit. the CHARACTER ACTING IN THIS IS TOO GOOD.
Republicans are Fascists.
I have this head cannon, y'see and I can't really talk about it in real life, so now it's tumblr's problem. Yaaaaay.
Okay, here it is. This is an a/b/o au. The upside down has its own scent, right? And it scents COLD. And only a select few in Hawkins know that scent. Of course, Steve Harrington is one of them. That day in the field, in s2, when the Mind Flayer was taking over Will, what if the high school gym was close enough to that field that everyone could smell it? That overwhelming scent of dark, cold, evil. Steve is the only one who recognizes it .
He'd never run so fast in all his life.
Steve is the first on the scene, sees Will just standing there, his own pup scent overwhelmed by cold. Steve has always run hot, and he learned a long time ago, due to absent parents, how to scent warmth.
He goes up to Will, and just hugs him, scents warm, because it makes sense, right? The upside down was making it cold, so Steve had to warm him up. When the rest of the crew find them, Steve is just holding Will close, scenting warm, and encouraging him to fight off the upside down.
"it's okay, Will, you're doing great, you're so strong, pup, you can do it, you're so strong, stronger than anything that place can throw at you, come on, kiddo, you got this..." Etc., Etc.
When the others arrive, he tells them to scent warm like he is, cause it'll help pull Will out of this dark place. They all end up in this big group hug: Steve, Will, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Max, Joyce. Then, when the basketball team shows up looking for Steve, he just looks at Hargrove, and is like, you're basically a human furnace, get over here and help us get this pup warm.
Fyi, Steve is obviously an omega, and Billy is an alpha, so who is he to refuse.
Finally, Will wakes up mind flayer-free, and he just clings to Steve while sobbing. He accidentally calls Steve mama, which just makes him melt, and then Steve and Joyce and the kids, including Max, take Will home and just gives him all the love he deserves. The next day, Steve takes all the kids to meet the Hawkins High Dungeon Master, Eddie Munson, to help Will feel better
And that, my friends, is how Steve adopts all of the kids in this au. Of course, D'art is still around, so that's how Steve bonds with Dustin specifically. Dustin and Will are his favorites. Billy just kind of fell for Steve after seeing his mama bear side, as did Eddie, because I am a sucker for Harringroveson.
20, she/her, USA Hey, everyone! I don't have anyone to talk to in real life about my hyperfixation, so now it's your problem! Asks and dms are open!
