    Summary

    With King Uther’s health rapidly deteriorating, Arthur Pendragon must do what all kings before him have done: go on a quest to prove himself the next worthy leader of Camelot. But when his quest leads him to a mysterious tower with a rumored dark past, Arthur begins to question the things he’s been told.

    There are stories about what lurks in the tower outside of Gorra. Some say it is the wellspring of evil itself; the beating heart of all magic. Others claim to have glimpsed a twisted creature through its single dirty window. They say whatever lives there is cursed—trapped forever in a labyrinth of rooms, and if you go in, you don’t come out. Nobody ever comes out.

    Arthur is sure they’re all old wives’ tales. The building is clearly abandoned, after all. But as Arthur delves further into the tower’s past, nothing is quite as it seems. Is this place truly home to a monster, or is there something else afoot? And who is the mysterious man who wanders its halls?

    Inspired by art by count-pudding . A merthur-shaped mystery for BBC Merlin Reverse Big Bang.

    Summary

    “Ambidextrous, princess, it’s what makes me so good with my hands.” Eddie wiggled his fingers.

    “You mean for guitar?” Steve asked, completely missing the innuendo, and also nearly knocking Eddie flat at the thought that Steve Harrington knew he played guitar.

    “You stalking me or something?” Eddie asked.

    Steve frowned. “Uh, no, but your band played in the middle school talent show, it’s pretty hard to forget a thirteen year old screaming death metal before his voice dropped.”

    Eddie almost laughed at that. Almost. “You saying I’m unforgettable, princess?”

    “If that’s how you want to take it, Munson."

    Eddie realized this was turning towards something far more dangerous than taunting a boy known for getting into fights, like flirting with a very, very straight boy known for getting into fights.

    OR
    After the events of season three Steve shows up on Eddie's doorstep asking for a tattoo... and then keeps showing up much to the dismay of Eddie's traitorous heart.

    Summary

    Steve Harrington was a baldfaced lie. It was a mirage that two desperate people had crafted to save a scared, little boy. It was an easy name - only a letter different from that he’d always known. Steve was designed to be boring. A droll American name, fit to blend into a crowd. It was a name for a child from a wealthy family, another boy to take over his father’s company once he grew of age. Designed to be easy to talk about in a positive light, to be the standard teenager in an ordinary town.
    He played the part rather well. After all, it was better to be the spoilt rich son of an arrogant man, than to be a child with a number etched upon his wrist.

    aka, a rewrite of Stranger Things with Steve as a lab kid. it begins with season one, with plans to finish out the show in season five. featuring: immortality, immorality, and the terrors of Steve escaping a place that would always know to look for him.
