Distance makes the heart grow fonder (or something like that) by shield_maiden

Summary
It’s been weeks since your first and only hook up with Abby, not by choice, as the both of you were sent in opposite directions, Abby to the FOB to play the role of dutiful right hand to Issac, you to the far boundaries of the city where the cool damp of the forest slowly encroached year by year no matter how many trees the WLF cleared.
But now you’re back at the stadium, finally off of rotation with a glorious handful of days of rest, decent food, and most importantly warmth ahead of you. If you hope Abby has the same, you keep that thought to yourself.

Summary
“You need to stop playing whatever game you’re playing with Steve.” Nancy says, it’s rushed, like all of the words were fighting their way out of her mouth at once.
“What game?” Billy asks, denial feels like the easy route, play dumb and pretend he doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Even if the look on her face tells him that she knows that he knows.

Summary
It would be easier, if there wasn’t this hastily built barrier of distance between them. Or if he hadn’t fucking ruined everything by crying like a baby just because Billy had touched him without malice.
If Billy can ignore him and mess around with Stacy, why can’t he do the same?

Summary
Objectively, Harry Bingham is not a good man.
He still possess the same self assured-ness he always had. The one that makes him believe that with the right bargaining chip and that lopsided smile he can get whatever he wants from whoever he wants.
That smile works on her more often than she would like to admit.

Summary
Maybe he was really occupying his own grave behind the church and this was heaven, although he’s never believed in the concept of an afterlife and even if there were one, he’s pretty sure he’d be ear marked for hell, no matter how different he is now. Three months is not enough time to make up for all he’d done, but hoped he might get there one day. If it meant being good enough for Allie.

your stare's 'bout to kill me (I'm surprised when you kiss me) by shield_maiden

Summary
Billy expects Steve to recoil away from him, to lash out with fists and knees and elbows and push him back.
He doesn’t expect Steve’s lips on his, desperate and tasting of cheap beer and the faintest trace of cherry lipgloss.

Summary
Billy starts dating Stacy.
Suddenly he was untethered again, drifting aimlessly downwards.
The downwards drifting became falling again, and the falling became spiralling, and part of him couldn’t wait for the fiery collision with rock bottom that he knew was coming.

I’m bad at love (lookin’ at my history) by shield_maiden

Summary
Billy starts to push himself, once he realises that he’s in love with Steve. It’s more like punishing himself —an entirely different game to the one he plays with everyone else, that game is about power. He runs laps on the basketball court until his legs feel like jello and his lungs are screaming for him to stop. He gets into even more stupid fights than usual, because the feeling of someone’s fist slamming into his face feels justified, like he deserves it for being fucking queer enough to be in love with another guy, and for being too much of a pussy to do anything about it.

Left me searching for a reason (why’d you leave?) by shield_maiden

Summary
He gets it, he does. Why Billy wants nothing to do with him anymore. It’s dangerous, in a small town like Hawkins, where rumours spread like wild fire and can be the most dangerous weapons in the right —or wrong— hands. But in some distant place, beyond his constant exhaustion, it still hurts. It’s becoming an alarming pattern in his life, people just throwing him aside when they’ve had enough or found something or someone better.

Summary
Oh fucking shit no. He is in love with Harrington. Billy thinks he might actually throw up at the realisation.
Jesus, he’s never loved anything, or anyone, not since his Mom. He promised himself, after she died and his father turned into the ugly monster he is that he never would. Love, he thinks, is like handing someone a knife and turning your back and trusting them not to stab you with it.

Summary
Steve’s ashamed of himself. For being so fucked up and empty that this is the only way he can find anything even vaguely resembling calm, the only way he can actually sleep for more than two hours at a time without waking up drenched in a cold sweat. That the only way he can feel even somewhat normal is having Billy Hargrove fuck him like a whore and rough him up.

Still Fucked Up (But Aren't We All My Love?) by shield_maiden

Summary
Billy has always had a sick fascination with testing limits. He likes pushing things and people, until he feels them splinter under the pressure, and he can see where the cracks have formed and the bone shards peeking out.
He’s tested his fathers, pushing Neil until the push-back came around again and knocked him for six. He’s tested Max, riling her with the antagonising of her precious friends until she’d sunk the needle into his neck and pressed down on the plunger, turning everything a kind of sedated-slur-his-words hazy. He doesn’t push her anymore.
He hadn’t met anything that he can’t break. Or so he thought.
Until Harrington.

Summary
One thing that Steve quickly learns about Billy and sex with Billy, is that he loves leaving marks. Not just in hidden places under clothes, but in very, very obvious places. He’ll bite and mouth and suck until the skin on whatever part of Steve’s body he has his wicked mouth on is purpled and throbbing.
(This is intended to function as a stand alone fic separate from the previous works in this series/collection fyi)

Summary
If you asked Steve Harrington what the weirdest experience he’d had in 1984 was, he wouldn’t say fighting a small army of Demo-dogs, nor would he say becoming a babysitter slash friend to a group of 13 year olds (and he was a mentor, excuse you. Not a babysitter.). Nope, Steve Harrington’s single strangest experience of 1984 was being kissed by Billy Hargrove after they’d had a knock down drag out fight in the middle of his kitchen floor.
