Chapter Text
Hey, everyone! BeyondGone here. This is my introduction for my newest fic, the Song of Storge. I like to use the first installment of my fanfiction stories to lay down for you what to expect and some other details you may find interesting as you read.
First of all, this story is an acespec author’s ode to platonic love. I wrote it to heal from some loss of deep platonic loved ones in my personal life. I dedicate this story to them.
This story is about the brotherlike love of Steve and Dustin through the eyes of Eddie. To me, there is no truer love than when one lays down their life for their friend. That is pure, overwhelming, wholehearted love that transcends all physicality.
So, no. There is not going to be any smut here. If that is what you are looking for, I do not want to waste your time. While I am very proud of the story I have concocted and I am sure you will love it if you give it a chance, it will not scratch the surface of your pleasure pathways.
I make sure to tag EVERYTHING. If there is no tag that indicates it, it will not happen (Foreshadowing?)
Just in case you missed it, here are my story’s trigger warnings:
-Thalassophobia (fear of the water)
-Astraphobia (fear of storms)
-Claustrophobia (fear of tight or enclosed spaces)
-References to an eating disorder (only in one chapter)
-Acute stress syndrome or ASD (which is like PTSD, but symptoms have lasted for less than one month)
-Hospital stuff (think medical use of needles; also only in one chapter)
-Temporary/fake character death (don't worry. they come back literally the next chapter)
-The other usual stuff in Stranger Things like horror, foul language, sci-fi violence, gore, mild smoking/alcohol consumption, adult humor, intense and frightening scenes, and horrendous 80s fashion
I absolutely LOVE reading your comments and feedback on my stories. I have a great time interacting with my readers. If my work somehow inspires you to write your own story, create a piece of fanart, or something else, please tag me or send it to me so I can see it! I would truly be so honored to know that something I did had such a positive impact on someone that it compelled them to be creative.
Better yet, I hope this fic inspires you to hug your loved ones a little tighter next time you see them, send that “I’m thinking about you” text, and remind you that the most powerful forms of love are not always romantic or sexual.
